I don't think so. I'd hire an iOS developer for a macOS job. There is enough commonality for it to be an easy transition. It's the same on Windows, the Winforms app I work on has a ton of win32 calls and a smattering of XAML/WPF.
"I don't have the study in front of me, so let me make some numbers up."

This is not even remotely true. If you'd like to read an actual study that shows the opposite, here you go from the CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7104e1.htm?s_cid=mm...

Studying infections as they occur is extremely difficult. People who get vaccinated take greater precautions than those who don't. People who get infected take greater risks, and those who are unvaccinated and have been infected are the greatest risk takers of all. Breakthrough infection rate has more to do with cohort behavior than efficacy of natural vs vaccine.

The biggest advantage a vaccine has is repeated exposure to viral material without illness and risk of death. But ultimately the vaccine is just trying to trick your body into creating natural immunity.
I do believe that Google’s ‘quality’ of results has been declining in recent years, but:

This article is biased, cherry-picked nonsense. Is anyone actually looking at the results of his example queries and evaluating the quality themselves before responding?

To go with your example: the first three results a Google
search returns for me on ‘Putin Invasion Speech’ are two NY Times articles analyzing the speech, and then a full translated transcript from Bloomberg. It’s hardly hidden.

On the author’s own example, “Why did Russia invade Ukraine? 2022”, the first article is from the BBC and tries to lay out the full historical context - and mentions Putin’s speech.

The rest are from mainstream news sources of various descriptions, again laying out historical context.

The author may not _like_ that these are trusted, mainstream, popular sources - but that’s what Google has _always_ strived to return. Pagerank was never an ‘unbiased’ thing that searched solely for page content - and, wow, can you imagine the toxic SEO nightmare we’d be in if it was…

Why is nobody mentioning peak oil [0]? Seems to me that is the reason the extraction costs in the US is so high. Because the oil reserves are drying up, and it becomes harder and harder to squeeze out the oil. They are starting to employig techniques like fracking [1] to squeeze the oil out, but that costs a lot more energy, so the produce is lower, so the oil is more expensive. And will keep becoming more expensive as the reserves dry up and the extraction becomes more and more expensive.

A good resource on how this works is The Crash Course [2] from Peak Prosperity, where it discusses this in relationship with the financial and environmental factors.

I understand the "cancer vaccine" is actually an enormous simplification. There are certain cancer types that can be triggered by viruses, so a vaccine against these viruses could prevent those particular cancer types. But giving the impression that a general vaccine against cancer is somewhere near seems very misleading.

To me it feels more like, being the thing for home computing/automation, that the PC was for computing in general. A PC has not a clear single purpose, but is very modular and you have to spent some time to adjust it to your use-cases.

Similarly, the pockit has not that single use-case and you have to spent some time to adjust it to your use-case. However, especially with the Pockit-to-Pockit communication you can build so many cool things.

Maybe a PC is just a toy too, but IMHO it depends on how you use it.

Your comment reminded me of an old video that went viral quite a few years back and has since been reposted to infinity. There are still legitimate DJs that focus on the aspects that you care about but I suspect downward pricing pressure have forced the creation of "show" DJs that are just there to play some music for venues that don't really care. Note: I am not in the industry and these are all just second hand observations so I could be totally off the mark.

The main takeaway from this article has nothing to do with alcohol but actually how taxis seem to be completely unknown to the author or at least irrelevant. As I read along I just couldn't stop asking myself, didn't these guys have taxis before lyft and uber? And judging from the comments here, apparently in many places around the US, probably not (or they would just refuse to give you service). That's absolutely astounding.

Public transportation does enable drinking. That is one reason why young people move to, and like to live in, cities with public transportation.

But there are still huge, important differences between public transport and "ride sharing". Public transportation almost never takes you point to point. You are expected to navigate public transportation on your own, including getting in and out at the right stops. Public transportation usually has sharply reduced service several hours before bars close. You also need a ticket, which often means you must be sober enough to work a machine that only takes cash.

If public transport is your ride home, you need to be a lot more sober than the people the author is writing about.

There are important differences compared to taxis, too. To take a taxi, you must (often) be prepared to pay in cash. You must have enough verbal control to give your address.

It is not implausible that ride sharing apps enable a kind of binge drinking that is qualitatively different from the kind people do when they have to take another way home.
AWS WAF has the same limitation. It’s a trade-off between being able to be useful enough in a pinch while keeping the added latency low enough to not have an impact.

Whether that’s a good trade-off I’m not sure. Folks know this is a thing so if someone really wants to get past it they will. But it’s proven effective enough at neutralising a lot of bots and other annoying traffic whenever I’ve resorted to using it.

I agree with most things.

I really hate when APIs use different api-key headers depending on the role of the consumer.

It is very annoying when you get dates that are not in the ISO format. There are reasons to not use UTC everywhere. One should make that decision.

The reason why many APIs use POST instead of DELETE is that POST is said to be more secure.

Many APIs that I use do not have neither of PATCH, PUT or DELETE. An order for instance will have an order status resource that one just keeps adding status entities to. In general, well-designed systems minimize the need for changing data.
I hope people realize bigger danger of easily rationalizing such narrative. Of course governments and institutions need to protect their interests, hence such actions. However regular people almost always lose by having such view.

Could someone expand upon the reasons?

I can think of a few off the top of my head (it ties you to an old llvm version) but at the same time, presumably you need to reduce the size on the wire of this format so you need some kind of bitcode, and since it seems to be a binary interface for GPU drivers which can't be changing regularly the choice seems as good as any other?

Note: these are all naive uneducated assumptions on my part, as I'm not well informed in this area.

Authentication and Authorization are two subtly different things.

> about injecting the diluted viral load to trigger immune response

A “diluted viral load” is a very unsafe vaccine. “diluted” means “less of” and basically means infect ourself “with less of the virus” and hope for the best. The virus by definition is an unsafe mRNA payload (sometimes the virus will first burrows into our DNA which then creates the mRNA) that will hijack our cells and reproduce itself until there is a large enough viral load that can trigger immune response.

For an effective and safe “old-school” vaccine we would need a “dead or disabled large viral load”. “dead or disabled” typically means “can’t reproduce” and/or “can’t produce the problem viral proteins” and basically means the amount of virus in our bodies at all times is roughly the amount in the injection. This has to be a large enough “viral load” to trigger immune response.

The new mRNA vaccines are attempting to be safe mRNA payloads pretending to be the unsafe virus by using very small parts of the unsafe virus (e.g. only the spike protein) but this safe mRNA payload will “reproduce” inside our cells creating a lot of spike protein. They create a large enough “viral load” to trigger immune response.

There is no body without mRNA and there are basically no viruses that don’t leverage mRNA and therefore all previous vaccines used mRNA we just didn’t have good technology to use it directly.

I hope this helps clarify that “diluted viral load” is an incorrect oversimplification for old/new vaccine science. To understand “old school” vaccines, you would be better off with “boiled viral load” or “cooked viral load” as the oversimplification.

Excuse my candor but isn’t the status of Taiwan way more contentious than Ukraine? Honestly I’m not the sure the claim is illegitimate enough to stop China (at least that’s what I get after just reading Wikipedia), so while unfortunate for Taiwan at least I hope public opinion in other countries might not want a war, given it’s not even recognized by a lot of countries. The strategic importance it has for the US (and Europe?) is problematic obviously though.

Japanese (mostly Tokyo though some in Hakata) cabbies have been some of the most unique cabbies I've ever ridden with. I speak Japanese and have chatted with cabbies who coached me on which love hotels not to go to, the history of rail development near a small town, and even lamentations on how Japanese Kids These Days (TM) are less worldly than they were during the Bubble days. Only one cabbie I rode with was the silent sort and he was respectful and kept to himself.

I don't know about CS conferences but I've heard people complaining about free software conferences with a lot of Big Tech sponsoring where speakers were kindly requested by conference organizers not to talk too much about subjects "that may upset the sponsor" and things like that.

... alcohol as being a significant part of the problem.

There's a startup working on this. "Seriously, isn’t it time we came up with something beyond ethanol?"[1] They've developed something called "Alcarelle"[2] which has alcohol-like effects, but the effects max out around the 3 drink level. They are trying to get this
through clinical testing. They're looking for high net worth investors.

The amusing thing is that they have something that works, but it's a synthetic. They're trying to make it "natural", for marketing reasons, so they're trying to find some plant-based product they can bash into doing the same thing.

They have a product out, called "Sentia". It's not as good as Alcarelle, but it's "natural".[3]
