This is an example of when people say, "I'll do my own research" I often roll my eyes. First, about the site you gave, here's what BMJ has to say about this site:

"Different websites (such as https://ivmmeta.com/, https://c19ivermectin.com/, https://tratamientotemprano.org/estudios-ivermectina/, among others) have conducted meta-analyses with ivermectin studies, showing unpublished colourful forest plots which rapidly gained public acknowledgement and were disseminated via social media, without following any methodological or report guidelines. These websites do not include protocol registration with methods, search strategies, inclusion criteria, quality assessment of the included studies nor the certainty of the evidence of the pooled estimates. Prospective registration of systematic reviews with or without meta-analysis protocols is a key feature for providing transparency in the review process and ensuring protection against reporting biases, by revealing differences between the methods or outcomes reported in the published review and those planned in the registered protocol. These websites show pooled estimates suggesting significant benefits with ivermectin, which has resulted in confusion for clinicians, patients and even decision-makers. This is usually a problem when performing meta-analyses which are not based in rigorous systematic reviews, often leading to spread spurious or fallacious findings.36"

Furthermore, in good faith I went and randomly looked at one of the studies cited that sourced a reasonable journal: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jmv.27469

The c19ivermectin site misrepresents the results from the study. To quote the actual study: "However, a mortality benefit was not seen with ivermectin treatment before and after PSM (p values = 0.07 and 0.11, respectively). ICU admission, and intubation rate were not significantly different between the groups (p = 0.49, and p = 1.0, respectively). No differences were found between groups regarding the length of hospital stay, ICU admission, intubation rate, and in-hospital mortality."

Additionally the study notes:
"The ivermectin group was more likely to have bacterial pneumonia complications compared to the control group (43% vs. 23%, p = 0.02). Eight patients had a pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis in the ivermectin group, and the ivermectin group more frequently received therapeutic anticoagulation therapy than the control group. In addition, 13 patients had acute kidney injury in the ivermectin group."

The website you provided has a very biased take on just the one study I looked at. It's hard for me to take it seriously as an unbiased meta-analysis of ivermectin.
It's maybe not dumb to use the forbidden internal symbols, but it's certainly dumb to go ask the folks who through naming and documentation have communicated almost comically loudly and explicitly that they don't want you using the symbols if it's cool if you use the symbols.
Lenovo is not high quality compared to mac except at the top of the range. Which is very expensive. Trying to compete in a commodity consumer market where nobody (other than Apple) made money for well over a decade would be a business disaster.

When I was a kid, I played bomberman too much with some friends one summer.

Going to sleep, I had the levels blinking through my eyes for 20 minutes before my mind could finally find some rest.
i dont think you understand the clip.

it is a right turn onto a 2 lane road, where the right lane is protected by parked cars.

the tesla pulls into the PROTECTED lane to see around the parked cars.

you are assuming that it would have then decided to pull into traffic, but that belief is pretty unfounded. When FSD cannot see well enough to decide that a turn is safe, it will literally sit there for minutes. Yes, i am quite certain it would have done that in the protected parking lane.
Why? The networking code is entirely on them to get right. What does Cryengine have to do with efficiently updating a giant number of players with movement / action information?
Did you use a set of plans specifically for the A-frame studio house, or was it an amalgamation of a bunch of different resources? I'd love more resources on it if you have a suggestion.
Where did I say diplomats? Of course, you wouldn't disappear the diplomats. However, they almost never operate alone - whenever there is a diplomat engaged in intelligence there are almost always other assets without diplomatic status.

Offensive intelligence operations that the US has been conducting in Uganda are, well, offensive in nature, and are thus an attack. Not all attacks are an act of war.

> I think your comment sounds a bit biased that’s all. If you share some light - happy to accept the points raised.

I don't see how it is biased. The US applying sanctions on Uganda after they got caught spying by Ugandan counter-intelligence (under other pretenses, of course) is massively hypocritical. As far as I know using economic pressure to coax a country into accepting espionage is a new low. The US is trying to normalize and establish as basic expectations that weaker countries should just let it spy on them, and that's hypocritical above and beyond the norm.
As an individual, you certainly can deduct depreciation, as long as you're using the asset for business purposes (as defined here [1]). You also can choose how you pay for goods (buy vs. lease, for example) to minimize your tax liability. In addition, there are certain tax deductions that are available to you as a small business that would not be available to large corporations like Netflix.

Yes! I think you nail all of the above, including your numbness to some of the more mundane topics that pop up here regularly. I can't help but notice that there are certain topics that come around frequently - some technical, some not - where it feels very planted. Like someone has an agenda to bring up certain topics in order to get some kind of pulse, IE: if we just talked about that two weeks ago, why is this topic back again?

Or people with a lot of ETH, that want to hold on to the value of the rest they still own.
The source of the power is important. Are they kids if they care about the environment and pay for 400A service of renewable energy?

Is there anyone in America or Canada who cares about the environment, who is not a kid by your standard? I know a bunch of people who claim to care about the environment, but they still eat meat, drive ICE cars, have children, use ridiculous amounts of power compared to the global average, and do many of the normal things North Americans do. I still believe they care about the environment though.

Solana ecosystem*

Exploit happened on Solana. Jump Trading has a vested interest in the Solana ecosystem and is effectively the sole market maker on it.
And there aren't any AirTags with the ability to track without notifying the target they are there. Trade-offs.

The point is valid, though. AirTags do not enable something which wasn't already trivial to accomplish. At best it just makes it more visible to the general public, but stalkers have known how to use inexpensive GPS trackers for many years.

What's dishonest is the media pretending that this is some new capability that didn't already exist.
I think people are concerned that the saved taxes don't go towards employees as much as they should. I'm not saying it does or it doesn't, just that it's a common sentiment I've noticed.
Star Citizen looks like the least playable game I've ever seen. Not one thing looks compelling about it. Does anyone here actually like playing it? Why!? Help me!
Nobody should be running electric heat (resistance heat, COP=1), since we now have heat pump technology that can operate below 0F and do so with COPs of at least 2. Electric tankless WHs are also a terrible idea in almost all cases. A HPWH or standard electric tank would be much better for overall power demand.
No, they "solved" that "loophole" by amending the law in the 1996 Immigration "Reform" Act to state that place of birth is used, not place of nationality.

(Just another law in the long series of laws containing the word "reform" that makes things so much worse for the groups covered by the law.)
Nothing happens in finance because it is "the morally right thing". It's all a game of incentives. Wall Street Banks take disproportionate risks because they are incentivized to do so.

The interesting thing here is how the un-bailout-able nature of ETH affects the players in Crypto. Because ETH can't be magically printed, the VCs have to decide if they will walk away or bail out the retail end users. It looks like they decided to do the latter.

This has happened more than once in Crypto - I can think of the Binance hack, where Binance bailed out the users. OpenSea has also been covering ETH lost by its users who had their Bored Apes stolen because of user mistakes.

I wonder what it is about Crypto that causes large players to cover user loses. I need to learn more.
In my limited experience with LA traffic, "drive with the traffic" means stop-and-go traffic :-) In stop-and-go, I usually get around 52 mpg. Which is why I got the hybrid in the first place, to commute in rush hour traffic, but I bought it just before the pandemic and work-from-home, so never really used it to commute.
I think GP is confusing 'I went to the store and bought this CD, and burned it to MP3, which plays for free on Winamp' with 'Winamp was free and now I have to pay for that same experience via streaming.''
Maybe this a dumb question, but is the AirTag configured to Notify When Left Behind except when left at your home? I've never heard an AirTag beep before.
It also reminds me of:

Not really bailing out retail. There was enough liquidity for retail users to exit the tokens at risk without a penalty.

On the other hand the VCs themselves that are large owners of the tokens in Solana ecosystem would incur large losses, and that's excluding additional losses from reputation in future. It just shows how successful Jump VCs are when they put up $320M in a few hours. Maybe a month of their PnL?
Ah interesting - I vaguely remember hearing about this, but since I hadn't heard about it in so long I assumed it died.

I don't know what the uptake on this product is, but this specific product might be a case of "Solving a problem no business is having." For instance I think it'd be hard to justify purchasing this service for an enterprise without a compelling use-case. But I certainly think that Facebook has the resources make something that solves a problem that people really do have.

On the other hand, Slack seems to solve a problem pretty well that most businesses have.

Finally, I don't think VR as it currently exists solves a problem any business (or person) truly has beyond sheer entertainment. It remains "cool tech" that has yet to find a solid, non-gaming use case for the average person. This may change but this is why I currently think Meta is in trouble and I'm puzzled as to why Zuckerberg would go all-in on VR.
Expand to 1.5 hours or so drive and I bet you could find some options.
It very much slows down. Just not quite as much as a gas engine. You still have friction losses (especially as you get higher rpm), losses from alternator, water pump, engine fans, oil pump, etc.

Didn't they do the unthinkable a few years back, for Ethereum itself? They forked the immutable database because of a bug or exploit, I forget what it was exactly.

Similar story, rich people protecting their assets.
I generally do not disagree, but that’s kind of like saying: if you already have $X, then you just need $Y - $X.

My answer is based on someone going from $0 to $Y, i.e. the most conservative interpretation.

Important to note that Children's Health Defense is a highly suspect organization. Rated "conspiracy-pseudoscience"[1], described as "one of the main sources of misinformation on vaccines"[2], with numerous articles describing their fake health posts on social media[3][4] and shady leadership[5][6].

Not saying everything from that site should be discarded, but should definitely be taken with a grain of salt.

they are scared of bubble popping yet give away $320m. okay.
Downloading it.

But man, I thought it was going to be simple factual questions I might know the answer to, like a more streamlined Quora with better incentives to answer. Your example question in the screenshot on the Play Store is heavy shit. The first question I got was about gay marriage, which isn't really a matter of contention at this point anyways.

What's with this attempt to get peoples' opinions on "hot-button" issues? What is this for lol, who benefits from these answers? Who is asking these questions?
I love this. Thanks for sharing.
> A legitimate point is that the battery life isn't great.

A big difference is that these GPS trackers broadcast their position continuously, wherever there is cell coverage. The AirTags only update their position when an Apple device (made after 2015) is within the relatively short bluetooth range of the tag.
Few people, when they say "SQL is amazing!", mean the language.

The language is ok minus, it's usable and isn't a problem center. String parsing isn't expensive enough for anyone to replace, and there are many benefits to the 100% language decoupling it ensures.

What we mean is "RDBMSs are amazing!", and they are. Humanity has spent a lot of resources on their design and evolution, making them into systems that efficiently solve your hard problems years before you first find out you have them.
It's a matter of tradeoffs. California electric companies – and PG&E in particular – desperately need to decrease load during fire season so that they have more flexibility in the grid. It's important for them to try and disincentivize power usage pretty much however they can.

Plus, using less power is better for the environment.
That's much more rational than buying lottery tickets because you are in desperate need of money.
Yep I think this will be my next major project. Taking inspiration from Rust, Go/Zig, Nix, Unison, Old SmallTalk and Self videos, Eve, and probably SQLite/Postgres.

There is a lot of separate innovation that could be combined; so I think.

While inspired from these various things I doubt it would just be "another smalltalk" or "just a nocode thing" which many modern versions of this end up looking like.
I wonder why linux is still not stable. It appears to work pretty good, to the point that it's now the official app toolkit for ubuntu.
Good point - or it's a double-whammy economic warfare + reserves for weapons manufacturing; ideally it's also them shooting themselves in the foot and some ally country is seeing the business opportunity, and security threat, and will ramp up production.

In smart, organized nations, they'll hopefully realize this and simply go into debt - ideally at the same rate as other allies who ideally share the burden, so no one is "getting behind" more than the other ally.
Can you name some alternatives with a decent network?

If the item has its own mobile network, i'm expecting an extra $20/mo for a phone plan (at which point, comparing to a fixed cost of an AirTag isnt valid.)

If it doesnt have a mobile network and relies on the mesh, then, is there any mesh available? Apple's mesh is global and pervasive.

And if it provides neither mobile support nor mesh, it isnt useful for anything except lost keys in a house.
OLAP isn't a technology and it didn't go away. That's an approach your and many other orgs have been using for decades to do data warehousing. NoSQLs definitely didn't go away.

The need for denormalized data and data warehousing will never go away.

You're about 15 years too late to find 'deals' in Monroe/North Bend area. It's seeing huge growth and property values are way up. There's not as much land as you think too since a lot of it butts up against state and national forests.
There's a lot of FUD and misunderstanding here.

Phrases like "we are secured with AES" are just marking babble by people who don't understand the details.

AES is significantly faster in hardware if there is support. The vast majority of non-embedded chips (and some embedded) now have AES support in the CPU core including virtually all x64 and aarch64 chips sold today. AES is slower than ChaCha without hardware support but constant time "bit slicing" implementations exist that are fast enough for most use cases.

The broken crypto you cite was due to bad implementations or improper use. AES was not broken. You're definitely right that the implementation almost always is what gets attacked, but that's as true with ChaCha as it is with AES. Any crypto can be used incorrectly and any software can have bugs.

Nothing wrong with ChaCha, but don't spread FUD.
Thanks for your feedback! Do you have any stories to share? I'd love to hear about your experience with the notebooks-production gap
I think my original post started out by saying there are legitimate reasons to be concerned about social media.

I mean, I quit with a lot of unvested stock because it wasn’t obvious to me that I was making people net happier by my work, which is a way that I want to feel about my work.

But I think that the number of people on this site who organize their careers around pure altruism is small enough that I’ll probably live through those people throwing rocks because I’m arguing that this subject is nuanced and complicated.

I think I said that Boz and I have disagreed plenty over the years. But if he’s going to get burned at the stake in a public forum because he’s had to make very, very difficult decisions and didn’t always make the right ones, we’ll tie me to the same post because I’ve badly fucked up on much simpler decisions.
With the right attitude, you can rip from streams and play it for free from Winamp. You can also buy a lot of music as an MP3.
Were the 2008 bank bailouts done because it was the morally right thing to do or because they felt like it was important to secure the value of the economy.

Even demand charges often do a bad job of matching utility costs. If I run a church and my peak demand is consistently reached at 11 AM on Sunday morning, guess what, I'm way overpaying relative to my cost to the utility.

The problem with high meter charges (or charging based on panel amperage/etc.) is that it doesn't do a good job matching utility costs either. Let's say I have a 2-story house and split it into a duplex. I add a second panel on the top floor and live on the bottom. Did my second panel double costs for the utility? Absolutely not. If I build a carriage house in my backyard with a 200 amp panel, does it cost the same to the utility as if I put a 200 amp panel on my new house in my far-off exurb? Absolutely not.

That's not to get into the distributional effects of these kinds of changes. Any kind of base-rate increase will absolutely hammer the poor in order to save lots for suburb mcmansions. This may be economically more efficient, but good luck selling it.
I’m sorry, but you are vey misinformed regarding the transaction cost of Bitcoin.

Guess what? I as a consumer don’t want to enter my credit card all over the place or have to jump through hoops when I want to cancel a subscription. I want to be able to use “Hide My Email” so when you have a data breach or sell my email I can cancel it. I don’t want to use your lowest common denominator crappy web app. I want to just use an app I pay for and I don’t need to have a “relationship “ with you.
The first time I read "99 francs", I remember arriving on the double page that was nothing but a list of tag lines from tv ads. No context. No brands. Just 2 full pages of things that I've heard in between shows.

I could hear the jingle in my head. I knew each of the names of the brand after reading the tag lines.

For every. Single. One. Of. Them.

I always though I was not susceptible to this. Ads are only influencing others, but not me.

But no.

> I'm not sure why there's a push to eliminate gas cooking in favor of electricity. Perhaps some people are concerned with methane leaks in the natural gas distribution system.

It's that, as well as the fact that having a gas stove means you have a gas hookup in the first place, so you're more likely to also use it for heating. That in turn leads to more emissions than other heating methods produce.
That is rather reductionist. Users care about lots of things including the hardware itself, the camera, battery life, etc...
How else would you explain why people play the lottery? It's well-known that the expected value of any given ticket is negative (except in rare cases), unless you place some entertainment/fantasy value on playing.
