Majority of people who practice safe sex do not affect HIV transmission. HIV transmits mostly through networks of people who do not practice safe sex.

Unlike a normal virus where people exchange it at random, here people that are more likely to get the virus also seek out other people that are more likely to get the virus. Normal r-value calculations do not apply because you no longer have homogenous population.

You do not need a lot of these people to keep the virus alive. A person that practices unsafe sex once is more likely to do it more than once, with other people who will do the same. In effect forming a network within general population.

While people who practice safe sex might become collateral damage (like spouses of people who practice unsafe sex or patients at a clinic that used untested blood) they are very unlikely to transmit it further (safe sex practices are very effective at preventing spread of HIV).

Also no need to bring politics to it. Viruses do not care about politics.
Your first example was caught up in a government mandated anti money laundering investigation.

If the government is after you, crypto isn’t going to protect you. It might make the cost to go after your money a little higher if you’re willing to violate court orders and live as a fugitive.
I'm curious, why you don't just have the pool payout straight to your Coinbase wallet, especially since that is your consistent destination, so at least some of the transfer fees are avoided?

Using multisig keys distributed around trusted family members makes most of these problems invalid. There are many ways you can structure a Multisig wallet (this is how many crypto foundations and NFPs manage their assets)

Lmao this is great because on my "virtual on-site" final round of interviews at Amazon, the fire alarm of the person who was interviewing me went off. She switched to audio on the call and continued to try to work through the little coding challenge as she was shouting implementation details above the echo-y wails of a fire alarm raging in a crowded stairwell. Baffled, concerned for her safety and bewildered by her priorities, I hung up and pretended the call had dropped. No offer. No interest
It doesn't matter if people want to run their own bank. This is about freedom and principle. If you'd like to deposit your money into some bank, you're free to do so. However, nothing in society should require a bank for anything.

For example, a paycheck should be deposited directly into a worker's cryptocurrency wallet. Anyone who wants their payments to go into their bank account can simply provide the address of their bank wallet instead of their personal wallet. This way nobody is forced to create some bank account just to get paid their salary.
This is a very good take. If the government or some non-profit entity wants to fund fine arts, they should do it through scholarships. They are not professions for which they should expect repayment of loans...

It's only "super depressing" if you choose to see if that way

Here are some ways to "combat" the choices available, though, if you want:

- kill/limit streaming services

- kill/limit TV in general

- limit internet time(s) per device

- have your kids go outside and play
The key is to really learn your craft so your experience and expertise outweigh your age.

There are very few people with less than 10-15 years of experience that know all of the DOM APIs and their multitude of incompatible weirdnesses. There’s just so much to learn and much of the weirdness isn’t documented very well.

Lean into this and I think you’ll be fine.
Once upon a time I became convinced I wanted to create the first 100% virtual bank of my country.

Not having the faintest idea of how to do such a thing I set out to at least collect a roadmap of the paperwork needed to do that, so I could glean some knowledge in the process.

Ended up consulting with a lawyer and gathering a grand total of 1700 distinct bits of paperwork I needed to fill and complete as a random person. Every one of those things would have to be accompanied by documentation, most of which had to be presented in person at least back then. Would have taken me about 5 years if I managed to file a paper a day every day. To this day I still have no idea how on earth do banks just pop up one day.
Yes. But they give you the API. This is the policy for the API. You can modify the files as you say but not using their API. You must find the way...
This rings true to me. I'm a good software engineer, decent at "real math" and close to hopeless at arithmetic to a level that has had me wondering if I suffer from some version of dyscalculia.

This is very confusing to friends and family who assume I should be some kind of savant with numbers until I explain "oh no, in fact the first practical program I wrote as a kid was one to do all my second or third grade math homework for me."
The true underlying reason for supporting it is "stonks go up." They call it deflationary, but that's the same thing.
The old drafting font templates. When I started engineering they still did some of the plans by hand, using these templates to write out the lettering with a pin that would convert it to pen.

Not everybody considers Covid the only problem in existence? Sure you can consider whatever you want, but hospitals being overrun and barely able to provide not-covid-related health services is the reality some people keep ignoring. Maybe people want to move on? Sure we all do, but... you know... health services can't just "move on"...
> It almost sounds they were stuck writing C++98 code and instead of moving their coding standard to C++17, they chose to rewrite in D.

I think they started their port before C++17 was standardized:

> Also in 2010, a couple of us (PAJ and RJG) living in different parts of the world (Queensland, Australia and Virginia, USA) came across the D programming language ....

The grid solver, they note, was ported in 2015.
Also, this setup means that the banks have to compete against people choosing not to use them. This shouldn't be hard (because most people don't want to run their own bank), but it does prevent rent-seeking. If people are able to bypass them, then that provides some downwards market pressure on their charges. Without that, there is none except for regulation.
No, it is not an ideology crash. Apple is perfectly fine serving their own ads for which they are building a targeting profile.

It is an incentive crash. Apple tried iAds before and it didn't work as they couldn't do good personalised ads, this is them keeping the advantage just for them and getting good PR.

Apple is not a saint in this, not even a single bit.

That's fair, and I'm not saying it's as easy as flipping a switch. We are all social human beings wired to easily get caught up in the day to day panic, especially when someone is breathing down your neck. But you need to consider that somebody breathing down your neck does _not_ have your best interests in mind. You are master of your own career, and any shitty code you deliver will have your signature on it. It's all about setting boundaries and being able to push back when people are unreasonable. This is where the "not caring" is an invaluable skill. You are an immovable mountain in the face of a hurricane.

At the end of the day, YOU are the professional. If an amateur decides that you are going too slow, that doesn't mean anything--they can feel free to hire more engineers or whatever needs to be done, but the onus is on _them_ to ante up. No matter how much you love your job, you're probably going to have multiple throughout your career so you need to focus on yourself first and foremost.

Yes, all of them.
Actual title:

Row erupts over wreck in US waters identified as Captain Cook’s Endeavour
Happy I live in the UK when I see things like this posted. I was offered a job years ago in the US which I declined and would never want to be held to ransom over my health potentially.
Netflix is an interesting example since it also has devolved so much over the years. Back in the olden days before streaming was a thing there was a table view of all their content. The table allowed you to sort by the different columns and I think you even were able to filter. I loved that view. It became more hidden and then went away.

They also had an API to pull content info. I used the API to write a little Ruby script that just listed all their movies ordered by how much Netflix thought I'd like them. This worked really well since their predictions were surprisingly accurate. More surprising was that many of the movies that they predicted I'd like a lot were never recommend by their own UI. Of course the API went away soon after as well.

Ever since I noticed that Netflix's UI wasn't suggesting what they accurately thought I'd like I've been wondering what they are actually optimizing for. Around that time there was also a lot of buzz around their contest to predict this stuff. Why would they put all this effort in and then not use it? Is their content that they benefit from more of I watch it? Are there licensing deals were Netfkix pays when I watch? Are they saving infrastructure and data transfer costs if everyone streams the same stuff?

All this has gotten way worth when they moved from making DVDs to streaming.

Edit: I think what might originally have been a driver for this when they went to streaming is to hide how small the library actually was. We all had still been used to a world where we could watch almost everything we wanted via DVDs from a single service. That's almost unfathomable in our new world where most perks are at least subscribed to a handful of services and still don't have the same access, especially to movies, as we had with Netflix DVDs.

Edit2: another problem is of course that what I might like isn't necessarily what if watch in any given moment. I might give Andre Rublev five stars, but an I likely to watch a 3+ hour movie with subtitles on a whim on a week night?
True. In parts of Eastern Europe and in Asia, McDonalds is still considered a American premium-brand. Same goes for Starbucks and some other American chains.
Is CR a merge/pull request?
So it isn't solving a problem that current bank customers are looking to solve, it is just adding a buzzword to the feature set of the bank.

The fix is pretty simple, just declare err ahead of time:

if result, err = somethingelse(); err != nil {
return "ERROR"
}

return result
}
Nice write up, defining a serverless function is half the battle.

I don't see how this really works any more because a Big Mac is different in different countries. It's not an "identical" product being compared.

You can use McDonald's own local nutrition calculators to confirm this. A Big Mac in the US is 550 calories, yet 508 calories in the UK (522 in Russia and a mere 498 in Switzerland, for comparison). Is it factored into the index that British fast food fans are getting 7.6% less burger as well as paying more than a US consumer?
Biden’s admin blocks a court decision forgiving a disabled man student loan
Yes, I am surprised too. Especially when an In-n-Out Double Double costs $4.20 (this is in expensive California) and their burger has more meat. Plus In-n-out is notoriously generous with worker pay and benefits ($14 - $38 per hour, 401k benefits, health benefits, and paid holidays and vacation). I guess for McDonald's that extra money goes to advertising and executive pay?
Are they not letting people inside? a couple around me still seem to be 'drive through only', which accounts for 'line of cars' I see, which... just seems like it's people sitting around wasting more gas idling. Maybe some McDonalds will convert to a 'drive-in' style, like sonic, with food runners...
You seem to have already decided by buying an iPhone though
Everyone has to start somewhere. Even if 1/X people take it far enough to create value that's still more net value being created than before.

Pretty much every product and service has tons of content out there on how to do it and the economics of doing it for money. This is a massive net plus for people who are looking to grow their side gigs or businesses by adding related products/services or going upscale/downscale (e.g. our hypothetical detailer)

Is it low-mid for "much of the US" or for much of the Silicon Valley venture crowd?
Why would someone who doesn't enjoy television or movies want to try Netflix? That's not ridiculous, that's spending your time on what you value. Every example you posted sounds completely inane to me, and I wouldn't consider wasting my valuable life on any of that inanity for a moment, if I'm being honest. There is no type of content I would consider valuable which comes best in the form of very short videos. And if we go beyond value to just wanting an app to relax and turn my brain off, I'd prefer to relax in ways that don't destroy my attention span and that aren't designed to be addictive.
Now isn't when it counts. You have to look back at when you and your friends were selecting a career. Everything after that is competition/retention.
The blockchain is public and immutable. There is no privacy. Every transaction of every coin everywhere is completely visible. Even if you run BTC through a tumbler...the overall flow of BTC is going to be moving towards whichever wallet holds it at the end of the chain when a physical transaction takes place.

At which point if the physical transaction is picked up, the entire chain unrolls back to every initial source.
>Yikes. In what world is this a working class uprising? It has no meaningful ties to any labour movement

This is why I'm skeptical of the push towards unionization I see of late. I'm from a working-class neighbourhood. I first heard about this protest on social media from high school friends who went into blue-collar professions. This is as grassroots and working class a movement as I've ever seen. But because it's not endorsed by major unions that have to negotiate with major employers, it's seen as 'not legitimate'. The argument seems to be that a labour movement needs a managerial class at the top or it's not really workers uniting. Ironically, the managerial class is somewhat besieged at the moment because it's possible to automate a lot of the organisation we used to perform, such as what is needed for something like this. Whether there's Koch brothers funding behind it or not, the Freedom convoy enjoys incredible working class support, to claim otherwise because it lacks 'officialdom' is an irony I hope we can all laugh at someday.

@yesenadam, any concerns about my wording?
"Run your own bank" is just too crude of a statement.

Cryptography is a technology that will increasingly be interwoven into all systems. So you might still be using a traditional bank account. But you will be protected from identity theft. If someone impersonates you and claims you have lost your credentials, the bank will say "Ok, we can unlock your funds with our master key. But that will take 7 days from the moment we write the recovery message to the blockchain".

Then the real you can see that message and intervene.

I might not want to run my own bank. But I totally want to be protected from my banks incompetency.

And from the incompetency of my domain registrar, land registry, phone provider etc.

That's why a PIP puts said pay checque on the line though.
> Surely there were advances in production and logistics that would have lowered the "real" cost of McDonalds delivering a Big Mac, so all else being equal we would expect the price to drop over time.

For that, you should look at number of minutes (or hours) the average person needs to work to afford a local Big Mac.

Wikipedia's entry on the Big Mac index says that https://web.archive.org/web/20080216015122/http://www.ubs.co... should provide this information. Or see https://www.statista.com/statistics/275235/big-mac-worldwide...

Indeed. One of the most disheartening things about the covid pandemic has been seeing how many people are willing to propagate the most egregious health-related misinformation, such as that ivermectin is only or primarily a horse dewormer or that it is dangerous, as long as it identifies them with the desired faction. Such depravity should not have come as a surprise to me, but it did.

I've taken ivermectin—for parasites, not for covid. I wonder how many people will die of parasitic infections or more toxic antihelminthics and acaricides in the next few years because they or their neighbors refused to take ivermectin after they heard it was a dangerous veterinary-only drug from unscrupulous liars during the covid pandemic.

If you are unable to recite 7x6 and reach for the calculator for it, I don't think many people will memorize it.

I did the same, up to 20. I've used it so much since then that even though it seemed silly at the time of learning, it has proved that my total time saved is far greater than the time spend memorizing it. It helps that I went to STEM for university and in general are interested in it. But I'd say over a lifetime average Joe/Jane that handle a normal persons finances will at some point have saved more time than spend learning it.
