If they won't use a password manager why would they use a crypto wallet? Adding public key cryptography to the mix almost guarantees the barrier to entry is higher.
That would be a welcome development.
I was using the terms interchangeably since they publish the trial results as a study in medical journals but ok. Specifically, which phase of the Pfizer trials? They got the EUA after completing three phases..

Phase 1/2: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2639-4.pdf

Page 10 shows 0 deaths in the trial with the most severe adverse event being a "disturbed sleep" event.

Phase 3: https://www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1056/NEJMoa2034577?articleTo...

This was the big RCT trial with 43,400 participants. 2 participants in the medication group died, 4 participants in the control group died, so the vaccine cuts deaths from unrelated causes by 50%! (joking of course) In any case, they didn't even include all cause mortality as an end point.

So again - please provide a link to whatever it is you're referring to because "trust me bro, more people died" doesn't really cut it.
> What if those citizens move to a different state or country? I think we can agree the new state's laws shoud apply exclusively.

Yes, because if the person moves to a new state, their entity has established a nexus in one state, and therefore that state exclusively governs them.

The business entity who has employees in other states is, by the exact same logic, subjected to the laws of each state they have nexus in, and an employee that is a resident of a state is transparently a nexus in that state, as you agreed upon in your "moving" example.

Hopefully it's clear!
I usually don't run it actually to the end of the battery, but with the screen at mid-brightness, 6-8 of estimated use is pretty common, and I'll often see 10-12 if I'm fully charged. I just don't know if those are accurate. But with deep sleep (BSP uboot, not mainline), it's quite well behaved.

It's my main laptop at this point, but I don't ask that much of computers anymore. They did, at least, fix the trackpad firmware, which was beyond vile until about a year ago.
I'm afraid that's more of a reflection of people's taste in clothing where you live than anything else.

This is a very poor "article." When you write something today, you can't just say what you want without backing things up. In the first point "Python Is Not Fast" you would expect a table with one of many language benchmarks out there. Instead, you get the TIOBE index table. It makes no sense. And it's clear the author is not an expert in the field when he writes that Java is "not especially fast."
And what is that reason?
To me, the only people who might not care about such limited-duration features are those looking for a 2-3 year lease. Maybe the manufacturers are trying to get everybody to lease but man, it just pisses me off. Wonder if the state/province's lemon laws can get involved when sh*t just stops working.

But based on our top-of-line 2019 RAV4 the computerization of the car is way more brittle and pointless than the traditional engineering. I expect to have a collection of dead stuff long before the car dies.

Jim Simons has about 250 iq points. He may seem like a normal(ish) person, but he ain't. I'm not sure that anyone should ever assume they'll figure anything out the way he did.

And, he had lots of experience with math - he was insanely great at it. And then he took it and applied it.
Not exactly.

My goal of developing Datalevin is to replace our use of both Datomic and Postgres, so we have a single DB. The aim is to provide a versatile database that meets data needs of most use cases.

I mention Sqlite in README because I have not finished the query engine rewrite of Datalevin, so the query performance is not up to my standard of being competitive with relational databases for large data sets. However, even at the current state, Datalevin is already faster than the alternative Datalog stores in the Clojure world for the most part.

Finally, since you seems to want to go into this space, I will mention that: without some new tricks in query algorithms, triple stores would be always slower than standard relational DBs. This is not a solved problem. Just be aware what you are getting yourself into.
> It doesn't have a spec, so we don't know how gigantic it would be.

While it's not a formal spec, there is https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/index.html which can give an idea of the size a Rust spec would have.
Obviously given the context here, various blockchains meet these requirements.
I'm not sure if this is the same thing. The move to the suburbs still largely tied people to jobs in downtown. If work from home becomes the new normal, what happens if major cities lose the entirely of their middle class?
My argument is not "blockchains are useless because public-key cryptography long predates blockchains." My argument is "the existence of public-key cryptography does not imply that blockchains are useful."
I need this to be satire or bot-generated.

I really like C#, and F# is one of my favorite languages. I just really hate having to manage csproj files, and I miss Go’s compilation speed and compact binaries. C# is pretty decent on Linux, though, so I’d at least kick the tires a bit.
For New Relic's sake I hope they have thought through the consequences under the GDPR because they may well be causing their customers to violate their data processing agreements or even the law and may cause end users' data to be processed without consent. The fines for such tricks are nothing to sneeze at and companies working hard to stay compliant would do well to stay away from a supplier that does not have their best interests at heart.
Nano's great advantage over vi(m) is that you can instantly see how you can save the current file and exit the editor, e.g. when confronted with it because of a "git commit" on some server. So, if you configure an editor that anyone should be able to use, I would prefer Nano too...

That is not the sole purpose for the public collection of land rent. Land rent is based on demand for land. Land rent is what you would pay for a particular plot vs. some other plot that is available.

The question is to whom should this payment go, and "fee simple" is an entirely inappropriate mechanism for payment.

Everyone has an equal right to the use of land, limited only by the equal rights of others to use land. What the state does not need for the provision of public goods & services should still be collected and returned to the people on a per capita basis, as a simple matter of social & economic justice.
> When your case for "UTF-16 is not an irredeemable format" is "it's better than UTF-8 at a task where nobody would use either format anyway", you're not making a strong case.

Haha this is pretty fair; I know I'm being pedantic. But I wouldn't say any GB* encoding is better than UTF-16. Another commenter pointed out that you really want the ability to--say--paste arbitrary text into an editor and for that editor to be using an encoding that can handle it.

Or even for the web, if we actually took the Accept-Language header [0] seriously, that could also be a big savings.

>> Just admit you hate Apple and it doesn't matter what they do, you will find a way to make it a bad thing.

I am not an Apple fan and I welcome this self-repair initiative and I think their service manuals are quite nicely written but I worry that this may just be their another PR stunt:

1. many repairs can't be done without their direct assistance: "A System Configuration step may be required at the end of your repair. System Configuration is a postrepair software tool that completes the repair for genuine Apple parts. The repair manual will indicate if System Configuration is required. You will need to contact the Self Service Repair Store support team by chat or phone to initiate System Configuration.". They are not providing this software.

2. nothing said about logic board (yet?) and it is not uncommon that logic board goes bad (and also no component-level repair, especially USB connectors which often go bad but component-level repair is not really something I would expect at this time)

3. older devices not covered so the situation is unchanged for those

Maybe that will improve over time, though.

Yeah, that about sums it up.
They probably only go after those in the US as they can garnish bank accounts at banks that they can reach as they currently do to Arizona businesses they claimed were doing business in California...

"Making matters worse, if California’s tax assessments are not paid voluntarily, California frequently further tramples on the sovereignty of other states by issuing orders to interstate banks, demanding that they transfer funds in Arizona-based accounts for back payment. Those seizure orders threaten the banks that, if they do not transfer the funds, California will take the taxes and penalties owed from the banks instead. Not surprisingly, the banks almost uniformly consent to California’s strong-arm tactics.

Exhibit G in the filing provides an example where California demanded that Wells Fargo not only transfer the $800 tax, but also a $200 “demand penalty,” a $432 “late filing penalty,” a $79 “filing enforcement fee,” and $63.40 in interest, for a “Total Tax, Penalties, Interest and Fees” of $1574.40."

A lot of the problem starts with the fact that most hospitals in the USA were taken over and are now owned by "Private Equity".

If you know ANYTHING about finance, that should send shivers up your back and also make you realize why this happening with nursing.

Private Equity is where you go to get money if:

• Your business is floundering and no one will loan to you

• Your industry is in the ebbing phase and not growing

• You are ignorant or naive about getting money for business

• You haven't done your due diligence

• Your company is in play for a hostile take-over

Having Private Equity getting involved is always a major Red Flag if not Black Flag.

In general, Private Equity knows nothing about your business norms or markets - they don't care. They are a one-size-fits-all investor and that primarily means "Cut Costs on Everything".

It's very akin to having a lawyer become your CEO (e.g. Sears/Kmart) - it's a omen of VERY BAD things being imminent.

A case in point: the COVID bounties from Medicare for testing, admissions, treatment AND DEATH BY COVID are exactly something that Private Equity would love maximally, dream up and probably try to enact with lobbyists.
Sounds great. Starting small makes sense. I wrote my first code in MS Notepad. Then used Notepad++. I use VS Code these days but can’t see what it would have done for me as a child.
What's realistic is a policy of "no backsies". You can't prevent a party from lying (without remaking the world so that everything happens on your favorite blockchain, which ain't gonna happen), so what you do is you catch them in their lies.

I don't use a pi, but I do use a pinebook pro as my primary personal computer (I don't like to do anything personal on my work laptop).

It has been great for all my needs including:

- Development (React/Javascript frontends, Elixir/Erlang backends, python)
- Consumption (Hacker News, News Sites, RSS, Youtube Videos, ...)
- Productivity (Email)
- Writing (Mostly in emacs + pandoc)

Everything works well on it, and for only $200 I don't get too concerned about traveling with it and it breaking.

No, the compiler needs to save us from ourselves. What if we get a runtime nil? Oh God, the horror!

I understand correctness, I do not understand why we're making languages a nanny state where if we're not completely focused on correctness and zero copy interfaces it's not worth using.

It emits no more CO2 than the thing being composted soaked up when growing. So it will emit less than the amount the mushrooms absorbed. This is the cycle of life. This is not a problem.

The problem is when you emit CEO that has been absorbed over hundreds of millions of years and fossilized in oil and gas all within 100 years or so.

That's awesome! I never would have thought you could run a full DAW on a Pi. It appears that all the audio is being streamed from disk in the video of the article you linked. I think down sampling would actually add a bit of overhead, but it's probably negligible. Would definitely be interesting to see how the Pi performed while recording to the SD card.

One thing I really like about this is that, between both DAW and VST's supporting linux, it's super easy/affordable to maintain a separate machine that is solely for music production.
There's a lot of talk about high inflation rates, and what the Fed has to do to combat them, including causing a recession.

It's true that inflation is high, but the data shows us that most of this is being caused by factors not related to high economic demand: it's energy and food.

Core CPI also increased, but it's tempered considerably: the annualized rate of the latest month over month core CPI change is now under 4% (3.9%), having fallen from an annualized m/m rate of change of 6.5-7.5% a few months ago. 3.9% is a little higher than our target of 2%, but not as alarming as the headline rate of total CPI.

Everyone made fun of the claims of "transitory" inflation from late last year, but it's looking like -- except for energy and food, which are being driven by international events -- the drivers of base inflation really were one-off events, and are not continuing at the same rate. For example, international freight increased dramatically, from around $3,500 for a 40HC from Ningbo to LA to $18-20k, but it has since stabilized to around $15k - and inflation is a rate of change, so in that area we are not seeing a continued paced increase in cost. It's just stayed expensive.

Of course, energy and food matter, a lot. Food prices matter more than the price of, say, imported lawn chairs. But it's useful to ask why inflation is happening. Is it because our demand is too high and there's competition for resources? Then we need to slow down the economy to reduce competition for resources. That's the Fed's job. Or is it because there's a sudden reduction in available global oil and grain supply? Then it's not clear that causing a hard recession is going to fix it. In that case, we need to fix the decrease in supply. And in our current case, that's not easy: much of this increase is being driven by a misinformed dictator of a nuclear superpower hell-bent on escalating a regional war, and this type of problem is not one the Fed is well equipped to deal with.

What we're really seeing is supply-side driven inflation. The Fed should continue to drive core inflation back down to its target level of 2-2.5%, but we are already seeing success here. The real question is what we do about energy and food, and it's not clear the Fed's actions are going to solve that problem.

> "Nano-texture glass gives up a little bit of the sharp vibrant look you get with a glossy screen, but it’s worth the trade in usability, to be able to see the screen without distractions all day long."

"Nano-texture glass" is pretty much just what all screens were like back in the days of CRTs and pre-glossy flat screens. Now Apple are charging $300 for it!
This made me chuckle. Pico was the first non-BASIC editor I used because the public library BBS used Pine. As a descendant of Pico, I'd say that Nano is an ancient editor, and it comes with all the historical baggage fueling your complaints.

Windows 11 Store will install just about any app these days, and just about anyone can throw random EXE or MSI installers on to it. It's undead these days. It is no longer quite a curated experience: towards the end of Windows 10 Store you at least knew if you installed from the Store it would uninstall cleanly without hassle (towards the beginning of the Store there were more guarantees than just that, but MSIX eventually compromised on all of them until clean uninstall was the last remaining guarantee). But in Windows 11 there's just about nothing that you can't install from the Store rather than needing to google on the bings for a random OEM website and find the EXE or MSI file to install. (The Store basically does that googling on the bings for you and saves you a step or two.)

That leaves me with the question of what S Mode is for in Windows 11 if the Store now includes all the random EXEs and MSIs, and all of their legacy of dirty installs/potential for adware/malware and other issues? The FAQ doesn't appear to answer that. In Windows 10 for a time I could tell a grandparent or non-computer savvy person to switch to S Mode and not have to worry as much about coming by with a malware/adware scanner at regular intervals. I don't have any confidence I can do that with Windows 11.
Critical Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Azure PostgreSQL
Security researchers at Wiz discovered critical vulnerabilities in Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server (Dubbed ExtraReplica). These vulnerabilities allowed unauthorized read access to other customers’ PostgreSQL database.

From Microsoft's advisory: "All Flexible Server Postgres servers deployed using the public access networking option were impacted with this security vulnerability. Customers using the private access networking option were not exposed to this vulnerability. The Single Server offering of Postgres was not impacted. Our analysis revealed no customer data was accessed using this vulnerability. Azure updated all Flexible Servers to fix this vulnerability. No action is required by customers. In order to further minimize exposure, we recommend that customers enable private network access when setting up their Flexible Server instances."
