We actually do know that the adenovirus-vectored vaccines (ChAdOx1, etc) do cause blood clotting disorders.

> The only mechanism I am able to imagine would be the COVID spike protein itself since it produced both during the infection and vaccination.

But this is bad logic.

The mechanism behind the adenovirus clotting adverse reactions is that Platlet Factor 4 sticks to the adenovirus capsid. It shares nothing with SARS-CoV-2 at all. Since the virus sticks to the capsid it is endocytosed as the virus particle enters cells. That results in PF4 inside of cells, which is not supposed to happen. Some people have the 'right' HLA subtype and bits of the PF4 molecule is displayed on the surface of their cells. Then further some breakdown happens in the bodies identification of "self" proteins in some people and the immune system starts to produce autoantibodies against PF4. This autoantibody attack results in vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia.

Both SARS-CoV-2 viral infection and adenovirus-based vaccines can cause clotting issues. Biologically they only really share the spike protein in common. But the clotting issues observed after ChAdOx vaccination are due to a mechanism unique to adenoviruses (and naturally occurring human adenoviruses may cause the same issues, but it has never been detected before).

[The other comment here is also full of nonsense. The spike protein is contained within the cell producing it. There is detectable spike protein in the blood of some people post-vaccine but at femtogram per mL concentrations that require special assays to detect, likely due to lysing of the cells in lymph nodes and tiny bit escaping. This is very unlikely to have any direct biological effect]

The amount of resources, e.g. land, water etc. you need to raise cows is about 10 times more than what you'd need to grow the same calorie content of vegetables.

It actually doesn't matter if you grow the feed nationally or import from Amazon, the fact remains that those fields replace a natural ecosystem that could be contributing to biodiversity and much more efficient carbon capture.

Grass captures CO2 from the air, and the cows fart (actually mostly burp) out methane that is about 25 times worse GHG over a 100 year period.

Good example, now imagine the same Edison (w.r.t. potential) at the same time with the same hearing loss born to a black family.

Imagine the great things a genius like Srinivasa Ramanujan could have achieved if he had the privilege of a proper formal education and wouldn't have lived at the poverty line for most his life, which ultimately caused him to die young.

For every Edison there's literally millions of (mostly) poor people, who for one reason or another (be that born with the wrong genitalia, wrong skin colour, or at the wrong place) simply never even get the chance to develop their full potential no matter how hard they try.

Denying the impact of pure happenstance on people's destiny is denying a large part of reality. Unfortunately not everyone is lucky enough to be born into a supporting family or a country that offers actual opportunities in life.

I don't use Logic, but I fairly recently decided to pick up digital music as a hobby (I like Studio one and Reaper) and have found that VSTs are a huge issue with that. I own Arturia's Analog Lab, which I don't imagine works on Linux...and buying a non-Intel Mac in the future is also a point of issue since I don't imagine Vocaloid4 voice banks work on M1 without running your entire DAW in Rosetta mode.

Once again, it's clear that despite my preference for MacOS and Linux, Windows is the only way forward for long-term compatibility with software that isn't produced as an ongoing service. Whether it's specialty software that isn't updated constantly forever, or games, the lack of commitment to backwards compatibility is destructive.

Europe is a very different system. Suppose I work freelance in New York City, so I make $20,000 a month.

$8,000 -- city, state, and federal taxes take 40%

$3,500 -- rent

$1,500 -- health insurance

$4,000 -- care for my elderly mom

total: $17,000

In other words, it is easy to make $20,000 a month in New York City and feel like you are barely surviving. I'm grateful I don't have children, as it allows me to take care of my mom. If I did have kids, then some very painful choices would have to be made about care for my mom.

Europe is simply a different system.

Would they, though? I'd be interested in specific cases.
Not much overhead, I would think. We’re talking about literal strings in source code, not strings in general. It’s not much work to check those.

One thing that it would break is that strings read from files would be treated differently from those in source code, even those read from files that logically “belong” to the application (say config file)

I don’t think that’s an issue, though.

Also, in Swift "\(foo)" does string interpolation. I haven’t seen people complain it leaks data or makes Swift slow (but then, it’s not fast at compiling at all because of its rather complicated type inference)

Sentry: Git Commit Guidelines
People (probably correctly) assume you're not a good faith conversant when you say things like "The only people who would get upset by it are those whose entire reasoning is emotional and hypocrite virtue signaling." I find that the phrase "virtue signaling" is used almost universally by people who themselves are deeply morally lacking and thus wish to portray other peoples' altruistic and empathetic moral positions as somehow false so they can feel better about their own lack of empathy, altruism, and charitability.

Nobody here said that animals have the rights enumerated in the United States Declaration of Independence (which by the way carries no legal weight).

In any event, the general postulations as to the issue you present are that ecologies themselves have intrinsic value and we needn't interfere with nature (there is an in fact a debate about this on the environmental side of the aisle). Indeed, "rights" themselves are never absolute and they aren't somehow abstract (again, if you actually engaged with the literature you may be more familiar with debates surrounding how to define rights, whether are only individual, etc). Most rights exist vis-a-vis x or are things that cannot be infringed upon by other rights-bearing actors or the government. Thus an animal can have a right to not suffer at human hands, but such a right is not susceptible to infringement by another animal.

This response was more than you deserve.
It gets even weirder. A few years ago the New Yorker had a short article talking about SOS, the emergency signal used in Morse Code.

And they wrote it S.O.S. Which is patently wrong.

SOS is not sent in Morse like this, as if it were three separate letters:

dit dit dit (pause) dah dah dah (pause) dit dit dit

(The letter "S" is "dit dit dit" and the letter "O" is "dah dah dah".)

It's sent all at once without pauses between the letters, because it is not the three separate letters at all. SOS is a "prosign", sent like this:

dit dit dit dah dah dah dit dit dit

To help indicate this, SOS is customarily typeset with an overbar connecting the letters, like this:

___
SOS

(If the bar above SOS has gaps in it when rendered on your device, imagine that it is one solid bar.)

It's not an initialism, not three separate letters, and definitely not S.O.S.

When people espouse positions that are friendly toward white supremacist ideology, and adopt policies that are demonstrably racist, I think it's absolutely reasonable to call them white supremacists and racists. When people hold positions that are quite clearly far down the right side of our traditional political spectrum, I think it's correct to call them far right.

It's not an ad hominem attack or partisan name-calling to say someone is <insert negative description here> if they actually, factually fit that description.

This is an appeal to authority, a logical fallacy. That particular niche of users has likely never brought it up to people attention. EULA are rarely brought up at all, and when they are its just in some software within tech circles because tech sector enthusiasts like to review.

I couldn't care less what oblique definition of fascism came out from some american think-tank in the 80s, narrow enough to not anger any of their thatcherian or reaganite friends.

I'm italian, my grandfather was drafted in the balilla first at 14 and the fascist army later. And his stories of the time were all about the violence, the machismo, the open contempt for the gay, the jewish, any other minorities. That's fascism, no matter if it doesn't match your clinical idea of what fascism should or shouldn't be.

And yes, they were as silly and ridiculous as the tiki torches guys or the Jan 6 coup guys. Until they were fully in power. Then everybody stopped laughing, or wondering if they were really dangerous or not.

And to be quite honest with you, worry not - I think we'll find very, very soon how close those are compared to US democrats to actual fascists(tm).

I think journalists are forgetting that vinyl has a distinct sound, also to millennials, they are simply cool as fuck. They come in giant sleeves you can hang in your wall, bookshelf. CDs are just burned digital data. Maybe someday they’ll gain a retro appeal, but for now they have this ugly recursive consumer status. They’re reminiscent of the dial up era where you had no choice but to compress to MP3 to fit on your 2gb SanDisc player.

To me, CDs were always a burden. We’ve just been fortunate enough to have larger bandwidths and more storage to do away with them.

I get the appeal of box art, photos, and lyric sheets, but who wants to put up with changing discs and physical conditions like scratches and finger prints?

Same applies to local storage
> The GME situation got into a "sold out" situation. Much like how a toy-store runs out of Furbies back in the 90s, Robinhood ran out of GME-stock to sell to its customers.

This is a poor analogy. So long as there is a large enough float, which is a requirement to be listed on some exchanges, there should always be stock to buy and sell.

Don't compare it to something else that's commonplace and misleading. I am aware of the margin requirements and what happened with DTCC and am purposefully avoiding that more complicated subject only to point out how much I dislike your analogy.
That doesn’t help US citizens.
The Soviet Union (and America) made hundreds if not thousands of tactical nuclear weapons. These were very small; you could put many of them into a single standard shipping container.

During the 90s there were persistent rumors that some of these had been "lost", but as far as I know these rumors were never substantiated. If in fact these weapons didn't get stolen/sold, we probably have numerous intelligence agencies to thank.
It's surprisingly general purpose. I mostly use it for toy side projects. I've used it for basic CRUD apps, like a reddit aggregator. I've written a couple opengl graphics libraries with it. Used it instead of JS for a web implementation of a board game. a toy Datomic clone, and I'm currently working on an alternative unix shell.

It's pretty comfortable for organizing and refactoring because of the nice module and type system. And once you grok Dune (the build system) you can get going pretty quick. Builds are very fast compared to most of the languages I use at work. And if you're not doing anything egregious the optimizing compiler (Flambda) can usually be within ~2x of C for most things. When it's not dropping down to C is very easy because the FFI system is very straight forward, and has built in support in Dune.

It is lacking a bit in libraries and when you need to drop down to imperative features you may find it a bit rough. For example not having a return keyword can make it annoying to port over libraries.

Overall I like it because I think the pros outweigh the cons, but I've also been using it for a decade so I'm probably getting set in my ways now. I'd say it's worth trying at least to understand Sum types (and maybe GADTs), and use a language with first class modules, it can change your approach to problems once you see some extra tools.
> But if you posit that the generally-assumed Hallstatt Plateau is simply an artifact of incorrect relative dating

I don't think that you can.

By my reading of https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Geochronology/Radiocarbon_da... (and with help of straightedge lined up against the graph) the Halstatt plateau refers to a particular range of years that standard radiocarbon dating has trouble with. Before and after this range, however, radiocarbon works as expected.

The only connection I can see between Hallstatt and Rohl is the former is 340-ish years of uncertainty, and the maximal revision in the latter is 350-ish. (I should also point out that this kind of approximate matching is Fomenko's bread and butter).

If you try to combine them by saying Hallstatt is a single instant and then moving everything up 350 years, I see several problems with that. First, Rohl's divergence with standard chronology is at the agreed-upon point of 664BCE, which is right in the middle of the Hallstatt plateau (760-440BCE). Second, Hallstatt was an actual culture with its own internal timeline, and whatever the radiocarbon numbers say there was substantial evolution during that time.
We upgraded to SaaS YNAB and suffered through it for years, before dropping it in our house for the same reason. Syncing was broken for a really really long time. We finally reported it, and it was working the next time we checked.

So, their monitoring (if it exists) is not doing its job whatsoever, and they’re relying on customer reports to find out about months-long outages. Not to mention the smaller sync outages that would happen constantly.

We tried to understand the way they want us to deal with credit cards about a dozen times. Never had any interest in learning it and still don’t (because I don’t treat a CC transaction any different from a cash transaction w/r/t budgeting), but the new YNAB forced it on us.

Nothing I’m saying is new. It’s just wild to me how bad their Second System tanked their software & reputation.

Robinhood didn't have the money / collateral to obtain any more shares.

As far as Robinhood is concerned, GME was sold out for that time period. It really is actually that simple. No shares for Robinhood meaning no new shares for Robinhood customers.

In 2 days time, Robinhood T+2 settlements occurred and everything cleared up. Except the meme-stock buyers already lost interest because they had the attention span of gnats.

> how much I dislike your analogy.

Care to explain why its a bad analogy? The only meaningful difference I can think of is the whole T+2 settlement thing (but that's very much like "The next delivery of Furbies is in 2 days", yall can buy Furbies then). Perhaps this is stretching the analogy too far now but... the fundamental situation seems to be solid.
> The purchase is completed before he gets it home and finds new conditions being imposed. That the part that I question about being legal.

My experience (IANAL and I don't know the specific laws here): you can return the product if you don't agree to the bundled licensing terms, generally even if you've opened it and encountered the licensing terms after the fact (though not every retailer may appreciate this one).

I've gotten a few "non-refundable" refunds after being given legal terms post-purchase that I didn't agree to. Most recently a talent release for an event. But in every case, I had to prove that the agreements weren't available pre-purchase.
