> We were burning coal and wood here in Romania before capitalism

Sure, but on what scale before capitalism (16th century)? Yes, some cultures have disappeared due to over-using their resources, but none threatened to take away humanity and millions of other species along with it. Or did you mean before the collapse of USSR and so-called socialist countries (which are arguably State-capitalist and very similar in terms of industry).

> energy is needed for all political systems to improve the population life

Yes, but what energy and on what scale? Clever engineering enables crazy optimizations. When you see people building wooden houses that can be heated with simple candles, it's quite a feat of engineering. Or passive heating from the sun or underground heat. Same goes for the heating system: using a thermal mass with a little wood to burn is orders of magnitude more efficient than electric heating or a commercial woodstove.

When i say low-tech i explicitly don't mean primitivist. I mean our understanding of sciences has progressed enough that we now know that our industrial way of life is not efficient and we can do much with less resources.

> Am I wrong can we stop burning coal and extracting oiuld and gas and survive as a civilized species?

Then again, depends on what scale. Personal cars for people in remote areas is not the main source of pollution. And i'm personally glad we've got some stuff like hospitals which may be a major source of pollution but i personally think are worth the trade-off.

But there are bigger sources of pollutions we could do without. How do you explain there's more smartphones on this planet than human beings yet we keep making more? Why do we keep building more cars and make it impossible to repair the old ones? All environmental studies point out that over the lifecycle of an object, production has the most environmental impact; disposal/recycling is also something we don't know how to do (apart from shoving it down the surface to pollute everything else).

These polluting schemes were invented by the industry to keep profits going after WWI when there was massive overproduction of goodsI'm. They do not benefit humanity or the public, or the exploited workers, or the polluted communities. They benefit only shareholders and politicians who get to shake hands with them.

I'm not saying i alone have the best answers to our problems (far from it). But if we want to build a breathable future for our children, there's certainly quite a few radical changes we could envision that would not damage the way of life of common people but would certainly trade shareholder's profits for humanity's survival.
The annoying part is that these bad practices tend to spread. They start in the worst jurisdiction, and then slowly spread to the adjacent ones - e.g. first in Australia or US, then to all anglo-speaking countries, then via UK to Western Europe... Unless they get hit by some brave soul with the stomach for a lengthy and expensive judicial process, they just become standard by way of bureaucracy, one overreaching form at a time.
>The second statement does not logically follow from the first.

Yes it does, "it was not immediately apparent, so I did some research and it was x. Now you don't need to do the research."

And the CIA is mandated to produce such reports, while they could add malware it'd likely be more of a liability than a benefit.

Or you could just use a 50cent calculator.

Note, you’d need to train such a model on data teaching it about the relationship of every number to every other number when run through every function. Yes, infinite synthetic data, but you’re just memorising stiff you can already generate
That was predicted to happen back in 2020, when hospitals had to postpone cancer surgeries and the likes.

Unfortunately, the "whistleblowers" make no attempts at understanding statistics, much less explaining them, and just want to blame it all on vaccines. Please donate to their cause, because their livelihoods depend on finding a secret hidden scoop in publicly available data, and to everyone's surprise they did! What a coincidence.
It ultimately depends at what scale. I think most people to be fair are talking about building a clone of what was present back in the mid 2000s. You could build a twitter clone that could handle a few hundred users in a few weeks with modern tech stacks.

The fact that there are at least 3 twitter clones that are less well put together with a decent amount of users handling in the load proves that it is possible.

Most of these can be from Covid / any other virus. For instance Bell's Palsy. I know 2 people who I went to school with who got it after having Covid (they were vaccinated too). Doctors didn't seem surprised at all.

The interesting one is Miscarriages, Female infertility. That might/probably related to stress from pandemic in general / lockdowns / previous kids being at home trying to teach them and do your job too. Also some viral infections are associated with miscarriages

Neurologic abnormalities - I still have smell distortion(not loss but certain distorted smells). I went to ENT and he's seen so much of it just in my town, so probably related to Covid for most people.

Congenital malformations - This is a thing with the Flu so probably coronaviruses too.
I'm 31 and just started learning music a year ago. Ever since I started this is probably the only thing I actually enjoy doing everyday. Is it possible to get to a level of proficiency at this point in life where you get to play good enough you can start getting paid for it?
No, the hotel staff just know which hotel guests are worth more.

Reservations for guests that stay with the hotel brand frequently are designated with various tiers in the rewards programs. There are arrival reports that detail how much they stay at specific hotels and what their preferences are. It is also trivial to sort through people coming via travel agents such as Priceline, booking.com, or Expedia, which means the hotel has to pay commission, which makes those guests worth less than those who reserve directly.

> It was the difference between Nazi fascism winning global hegemony or not. I don’t think there’s a serious argument that it shouldn’t have happened.

By the time nukes were dropped on Japan [0] in August 1945 nazi Germany was defeated, the war in Europe ended, Soviets attacked Japanese army in Manchuria [1] on August 9-th -- the day of Nagasaki bombing.

Dropping bombs on Japan had one main purpose - to show the Soviets who is the boss and prevent them from invading and occupying Japan before the USA can do it.

Distributed systems are really about persistent state. As soon as you have/need that, you run into these problems. If you need to deploy while maintaining state (like DB contents), or fail gracefully without losing your entire DB, then you have entered the realm of distributed systems. These properties are present even in most "monoliths".

Obligatory XKCD:

https://xkcd.com/1613/
Nuclear looks to be about 3x as expensive as wind/solar [0] and that is assuming you use it at 100% of its capacity due to the high building cost and low marginal costs. Just looking at California, winter nights drop to about half of electric demand as summer days [1] so you'd have to pay even more for spare capacity.

I think it would far cheaper to just build like 2x the wind/solar you need and use the surpluses to make methane [2] which is easily stored and already used for 40% of the US electrical grid [3].

Yes, I suppose you're right, at least so long as they actually host their data in the EU.

But what happens when senior data scientists at Google want to do some analysis? Each dataset for each global region can't remain fractured from each other. The subsidiary may not have to hand it over to the US government but does the GDPR prevent data from leaving the EU zone? If not, then local copies in the US would be exposed.

I think there would be a lot of loopholes that needed to be closed. "Will be" a lot might be the better choice if words if France's decision becomes guiding legal doctrine in the region.

I don't think Google would willing give up that data either so they could be forced to change their practices to at least get that which allowable under EU law. And I don't want to get too slippery slope in this, but that could mean privacy-minded services begin using servers in the EU as an added layer of user privacy.
When you say "unlikely," do you mean according to your Bayesian priors or according to an analysis you'd like to share with us?

Also positive experiences with Booking since 2005 :)

What AirBnB gets horribly wrong is hiding exact location of property. In some cases, 200-300m make all the difference, e.g. directly on the sea coast or 10min up the hill, which can happen when the road goes around. Or is it directly next to a noisy club or in a quiet street behind. Or for skiing, whether you’re directly on the track or not. Probably all my searches on Booking start with basic parameters and then immediatelly switching to map.

Also, even for locations I go often and know very well, and can easily find contacts of accomodations I’m interested in, I still choose Booking because it beats calling tens of different phones when single search shows what’s available for specific dates.
Free unlimited bandwidth always has a catch somewhere, that this use could trip on, unless the service is fairly expensive.

There is often a “fair use policy”, and even without anything like that you need to consider the potential effect on the stuff you are actually running the service for (while a search engine is pulling random data as fast as they can, that transfer is competing against other network load). I have a couple of inexpensive hosted servers with genuinely unlimited bandwidth, but only at 100 and 250mbps respectively, better rates cost a fair chunk more without some sort of cap (usually of the form “after some-TB-or-some-tens-of-TB we'll throttle you to 100mpbs until your next billing month”.

Unlimited throughput on gbit/more lines is commonly available, but never both cheap and reliable.
The code and feature duplication between "zram" and "zswap/zcache" seems quite unfortunate. Is there no prospect of unifying these kernel-side tools in the future, so that a single configuration choice can be used to set up memory compression regardless of it being "backed" by a physical swap device?

That's a gigantic 7.5%. A butt puckering 7.5%.
Hmmm. Some quick observation: on especially large 9-ish digit numbers, when it make very few digits correct, the correct ones are mostly including the very first and very last digits. Something remarkably similar to how us humans remember numbers and words: when we make mistake we generally remember first and last digits/letters but mess up the middle.
This isn't physically possible. I think you're confusing (a) an ISP saying "we'll give you all the bandwidth we get (from our tier 1 networks / backbone links)" with (b) genuinely unlimited bandwidth, which would suppose a infinitely large carbon fibre cable subsuming the universe, or something along those lines.

(a) may not be that much, in reality, depending on how their network is set up, and how much other traffic there is at any given moment. It also depends where you're routing to, whether e.g. (i) your neighbour or (ii) a DC across the world (neither is clearly better, it all depends). You have to think of it through the lens of physics and information theory, rather than law and business models.
The PCR test will not detect the vaccine, so all we have to accept here is hundreds of thousands of faked PCR results.

Why stop there? Maybe no one has died of anything but the vaccine since the start of 2021? We can't possibly know since apparently the medical fraud is omnipresent.
Hmm, curious behavior. I'm not getting that in any of the browsers I can run. Maybe some safari-specific interpretation?

I believe that strong E2E encryption is critical to individual privacy, but I also believe that it doesn't really matter when most every nation state can compromise any phone at any time simply by knowing the phone number and sending a zero click SMS or MMS message to that phone.

Until laws are implemented that forbid this and/or security improves to do so, it doesn't matter how good the encryption is if it's running on a fundamentally insecure device.
I came to devops, after being a syadmin, and after working as a full-time developer.

Amongst colleagues over the years the ones who have been best at their jobs could code, often very well. In my current role I write utilities in golang, write pipelines in bash, and generate cloudformation templates from python. There's a lot of programming going on in the background, even for those people that just manage systems with puppet, ansible, and similar.

I've never really been involved in coding-assignments when either giving or receiving interviews, but it doesn't feel like it would be out of place to do a little.
Clearly the implication is that it is another habitable planet and the other comments talking about going there etc. It isn't the rock I am worried about, it would be community that decides to move there and then starts exploiting each other leaving a planet depleted of resources and a rather long journey home!

It's an interesting thing though that I often see these two views provided simultaneously:

> Long Covid symptoms are most likely caused by Covid (even if barely symptomatic from the initial infection! - example: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/08/health/long-covid-asympto...).

> Vaccine side effects are most likely not the vaccine, but stress, hospital restrictions, lockdowns, prior infections, less exercise, bad diet, etc.

Not really a consistent baseline or set of controls there.

Not sure I agree. My Hetzner vps has less downtime than some AWS regions. To be honest, I have yet to experience any downtime from them over multiple years. There is a good chance you introduce more potential downtime by blowing up the complexity with a distributed system.

This is the opposite of what I usually hear? I've heard things about how Japan was getting ready to fight to the last man, starting to arm civilians.

I have heard that the emperor was maybe willing to surrender, but that the country was essentially being run by the military leadership, who would ~never see surrender as an option.

There are really three types of crawlers: good actors, bad actors, and "grey actors". The grey actors can be just by making a mistake (or outright incompetence), or they're testing where the limits are, etc.

robots.txt does nothing for the bad actors, but for grey actors it's a bit more complicated as they can move from "grey" to "good". Adding something for that in robots.txt in addition to some other limits (if needed) can be useful.
