Several countries, including the world's most populous country, did, in fact, succeed in completely eliminating the virus.

The countries that pursued an elimination strategy (a.k.a. zero-CoVID) have had orders of magnitude fewer deaths, and were able to enjoy long periods of time with virtually no restrictions on everyday life. Life in the vast majority of China has been basically normal for most of the last 2 years. People have been going to restaurants, holding parties, going to concerts, etc. without having to worry about the virus, because it hasn't been spreading in the country.

> recommended by leading experts

The Great Barrington Declaration isn't some sort of consensus of "leading experts." It's a document drawn up by a libertarian think tank, that a small number of academics signed. For political reasons, most Western countries have ended up following something close to this strategy since fairly early on in the pandemic, and the results (both in terms of deaths and economic impact) have been abysmal, particularly in comparison with the zero-CoVID countries.
>Finally, I'm not quite sure what your point is with respect to the overall fatality rate of adolescents.

By saying "20% of adolescent fatalities are to vehicles" you make it seem like a terrifying threat. It's not. Certainly not worth keeping your child from walking outside.

You're involved in groups that teach kids to use power tools safely. As in you let them use power tools despite there still being a risk after taking such a class. Do the same with regards to vehicles. Teach them how to stay safe as a pedestrian, passenger, and driver.

Honestly, driving in London is slow and annoying, and it's hard to find parking, particularly in the center.

You're much better off using public transport within London, or just walking (I've seen people take tube rides one or two stops that are quicker to just walk in the center).

I don't even own a car in London anymore, I just hire them when I need to get away somewhere that needs one.

How does a cow in a giant field eating grass and pooping tons of carbon down into carbon sinks damage the environment? In fact, Cow farming is great for the environment.

> deforestation, and polluted water tables,

I think you've confused all the problems with the unethical and immoral agriculture. Fertilizers and pesticides are so tremendously destructive to the environment.

>on top of the incredible cruelty of factory farming and slaughter.

Totally agreed here. We need to ban factory farming.

No it doesn't, you just need a decent credit score and enough bravery/foolishness to click the "I know what I'm doing" box.

> He is lamenting how while promoting his book he is getting interviewed by people who have only read the marketing sales points.

Incidentally, if his book resembles this essay, it's no wonder people prefer to read the marketing synopsis. He should maybe do some introspection instead of accusing the whole world of being... I'm not even sure what... childish?

People's time is precious. Don't waste it in vain.

I have the same with Gmail. I get lots of email for firstlast@ because someone can't be bothered to remember the numbers after their username. Then I have also gotten coffee receipts for a cardiologist (he likes Major Dickason's blend), wedding invitations, boating newsletters, and even modeling opportunities in a different country. It amazes me how many people either don't know their email address or can't imagine someone else might have a similar name.

Most of the organizations and individuals sending the emails are accommodating. Then there are the likes of Discord, that require you to confirm that you would like to delete "your" account, when it's not even yours. Nevermind that I have no desire to delete someone else's account. They also refuse to write you in English when you tell them you prefer it over Spanish. Luckily; I speak that too.
Or maybe they were out- UKing you :p
> This even starts with basic Numpy and handling tensor objects. It's not easy for a type checker to understand what operations you can do with what shape of tensor.

That doesn't sound like a Python problem.

Instead, it sounds like the natural consequence of numpy being designed in a way where their data types aren't organized into subtypes, and leave that as runtime properties. This is a natural reflection of numpy's take on vectors, matrices, and tensors, which in terms of types are just big arrays with runtime properties.

To put things in perspective, in C++, Eigen supports static dense vectors and matrices whose size is specified and known at compile-time. I'm sure Python doesn't impose addition static type constraints than C++.

You work for money, labor in exchange for cash. There is no perfect company and you have to take in the good with the bad. Working with people you get along with goes a long way.

It is an essential requirement of working with other humans that you put up with some of their bullshit. Getting to do work you enjoy and getting paid good money for it is amazing. Every company is there to turn a profit, that will never change. Personally having things to look forward to outside of work and trying to see bullshit from the perspective of the bullshitters helps a lot.

You should really try Amazon Prime Video on Android TV; you'll learn to appreciate Netflix, a LOT at that...
Netflix is definitely guilty of mishandling "continue watching" though, not even showing everything I've watched recently while insisting on keeping things I haven't touched for months easily accessible.
The noise thing, I believe, has to do with your settings though, because the only thing I hear, other than what I'm watching, is the app opening sound with the NF logo.
>I wish people were more honest about it, but is it even bad to care more about political outcomes than arbitrary details about the structure of the government?

Of course it's not bad. What's bad is degrading the role of truth in political debates by selectively invoking states rights or federal rule as sacred principles, only to be abandoned or reaffirmed depending on the needs of any given debate.

Thank you!! When I first set up Linux as my daily driver I questioned if perhaps I just chose a bad distro or got unlucky in my setup. After trying 2-3 distros I saw that even as a fledgling software engineer at the time I lacked the ability to set up Linux in accordance with my desires without hours of googling and frustration.

Considering some of the issues I help my friends and family with on their personal computers, I couldn't imagine any of them installing and configuring Linux on their own.

It frankly does more harm than good when people try to perpetuate the myth that a Linux installation is just as trivial as a modern Mac or Windows install as it causes people to approach Linux with unrealistic expectations.
Addendum: the CityMapper app is excellent for getting around London.
You wouldn't typically type tabular data in any language. Give it (at most) a DataFrame<StoreTransaction> type if you must, where StoreTransaction describes the structure of a row - maybe declaring only columns that model generation code was doing typed operations on (e.g. numerics vs strings) to avoid the need for reflection.

I know a lot of people would take one, even if they don't actually want it, just because it's free. But I know there are things like that in the past that I haven't opted into because I realized I really didn't need another one sitting around, or even just didn't need a first one.

Oculus' free rubber insert for example. I have a third party one that I like and didn't need the one Oculus offered, so I didn't take them up on it.

It'll partially reduce their cost right now and get people used to the idea that it won't be there in the future, instead of this shock where it's just not there, but expected.

The changes you need to make to a Python program to enable it to be type checked result in more bugs being added than the type checker removes leaving you at a net negative.

Type checking is just a really poor way to ensure program correctness until you start using an exceptionally strongly typed language like Haskell.

You use types in C / C++ / Java because the compiler needs them to work not because it's a good idea.

Taliban orders TikTok, PUBG ban for 'misleading' youths
The problem is that I tried to put myself into a software development filter bubble but yet the herd mentality and polarization bled through the filter. It is not a single issue of "algorithm = bad". It is multiple issues intersecting with psychology. It is the subversion of willpower by hijacking the dopamine that you feel rewarded to keep scrolling, it is the fracturing the shared reality by presenting different content to different people depending on what they engaged with and a number of other issues... all this makes it a complicated mess where one set of people starve themselves to death because they think they are fat according to their feed and other where people eat themselves to death because fat is beautiful according to their reality. You can fix one issue but then the next issue props up and all of a sudden the complications of human psychology makes the unintended consequences even more dire. All this to make you watch ads and buy things.

"gift male" might net you some results to start with and you could already classify the results respectively. And then maybe use the info from these articles to crawl more sites for similar stuff.
Blows my mind how people can't read anymore. The essay is excellent.
The key to doing this is an email provider that will let you do a catch all account. Every email that doesn’t match a known mailbox gets delivered to the catch all mailbox. This allows you to “create” new addresses with zero overhead by just typing in whatever you want when you are signing up for something (or speaking a brand new email out loud to a retail store employee or whatever).

Later on if you want to organize more or “unsubscribe” from an address you can go into your mail control panel and add clean server side filtering rules.

As for which service? It is difficult to find traditional mail providers that will let you do this. I’ve gotten a variety of excuses when I ask prospective providers: they want to monetize based on number of email addresses, are “afraid” of all the spam they imagine they will get, or it’s just too niche a feature to build into their web gui. I use a shared hosting provider (I don’t really use the web hosting itself, just the email).
Netflix, at least compared to Dropbox, had the opportunity to transition to producing 1st party content which they could use to continue to generate revenue even after all the 3rd party content went proprietary. My gut instinct is that Netflix has failed to succeed on that front, but there was an attempt.

Curious where on your crystal ball you see the likes of Spotify and the music (and podcast I guess) industry in 10 years.
It's worth pointing out, that if you use PayPal to buy anything from any site, the site in question gets to see your PayPal email address (whether they need to use it or not). If your main email address is used as your PayPal login, and an e-commerce is site is hacked or they just straight up sell your data, then that's your main email address totally compromised.

Source: I've implemented PayPal integrations for several sites over the years, and saw first hand what data is exchanged during the API workflows.

>You are wrong and will probably die of a heart attack.

This keto fad has been going on for years. The actual science is in on this.

Dietary cholesterol has nothing to do with anything. In fact, high blood sugar tends to damage your serum cholesterol. You basically have to go into a long fast in order to let your body clear out the damaged cholesterol. But often people dont do that, so slowly but surely the damaged cholesterol builds up. That's when you start having heart attacks.

https://www.healthline.com/health/high-cholesterol/sugar-and...

What keto does is effectively limit the amount of damage to ldl. Carnivore completely eliminates this.

If you're concerned about other people's diet and heart attacks. You pretty much have to recommend carnivore to them.

>Also, murdering and exploiting animals is not cool.

Murdering and exploiting animals that wouldn't exist otherwise. As humans have been 'murdering and exploiting' animal for 100,000 years... not going to win much argument in ending this.

I had this happen to me recently. It turns out there's a highschool somewhere named after someone with my same name. Instead of name50@gmail.com, they put name@gmail.com on some of their advertising for the event, and other people just typed it in wrong and forgot the 50. I got a fair few emails from that, even after telling their coordinator about the problem.
That would imply that it is harmless which it is not, as when an attacker would recite your magic phrase, you’d be much more inclined to trust him. And the attacker doesn’t have to be or know an employee, only an ex-employee.

For anyone who is interested in playing around with these charts, the various assumptions that under pin them etc. I've thrown together a colab notebook as a starting point.

Observation: if you rank via true "skill" and assume for a particular instance the predicted performance and observed performance are independent but both have the true skill as their mean you dont observe the effect. CC of 0.00332755.

If you rank via observed performance and plot observed vs predicted the effect is there. CC of -0.38085757.

This is assuming very simple gaussian noise which is not going to be accurate especially as most of these tasks have normalised scores.

Edit: fixed wrong way around

I used special emails for my kids’ savings accounts at a major brokerage, and then started getting weird emails to one of them. This was on a private domain and the addresses weren’t really guessable, so that’s how I knew they had been breached before they announced it weeks or months later.
I think they said that was for the obese population only.
There is a learning curve to these kinds of machines, so it might be hard to play with it without some practice. I’d recommend to just buy one, and experiment with it. They can provide years of creative fun!

I was close to agreeing with you, and then I noticed that TE does the classic Apple tactic of taking the USD price of $1200 and simply changing it to GBP and claiming it's £1200 without taking into account the exchange rate at all. So, I highly highly doubt these prices are due to low volume.

I would understand if it was $600-$800, but not $1200 come on...
This is a fallacious comparison.

There are 3 distinct tiers of users:

1. The basic users which really only use the web browser and maybe occasionally need to edit a document.

2. The "normal" users who need to use the web, office tools, perhaps some random domain specific software or games.

3. The super users, such as yourself.

Linux works fine for users #1 and #3, it's user #2 that runs into major issues and they also happen to be the vast majority of users.

For an AI-less solution there is IDA's Lumina which works pretty well. There's also a reverse engineered server for it [0] so you could build plugins for other disasemblers/decompilers to use with non-official servers.

It basically hashes machine code (with address parts removed) [1], then when reverse engineers label and push symbols to the server (or get them from some debug build), others can pull and see what the functions are called in completely unrelated projects, that use the same libraries / have the same functions.

I was also surprised to see "glassmorphism" dropped without further elaboration like that. While neumorphism was certainly popular on mock-up designs (i.e. something designers enjoyed toying with for a while), "glassmorphism" just looks like acrylic taken to the extreme and acrylic is everywhere -- except it's used as a design element rather than as the foundation of an entire style.

I guess the site is biased as saying something is a trend means you can make more money off teaching designers to emulate it.
