You can't control for mortality here, that doesn't make sense, because mortality is the variable under investigation.

He does control for the most obvious confounder (age). Some people - like the UK HSA and ONS - have tried to argue there must be other confounders like vaccines being given preferentially to unhealthy people, but they're self-contradicting on this point. I've seen them argue for both a healthy vaccinee effect and also an unhealthy vaccinee effect, both times with no direct evidence. They're shooting in the dark to try and avoid the obvious inference.

The bandage analogy is illogical. Injuries cause bandages so of course there's a correlation. Vaccines are not meant to cause death, so there should be no correlation. They're meant to prevent death, so the ratio should run in the opposite direction - the unvaccinated should die more often then the vaccinated.
Greta Thunberg the way she travels to the conferences is admirable, she genuinely lives what she is talking about and it is a stark contrast to every single politician that turns up to a climate change conference with a giant team in a plane and lives extravagant lives.

Its not about the complete abolition of everything its about the hypocrisy of being one of the biggest polluters in a country let alone the world while suggesting others on substantially less consumption drastically change their lives when they are least financially able to do so.

Feedly has a "search all Feedly" mode. That will capture mostly blogs or at least things with RSS feeds. As folks have said blogs ain't what they used to be, many blog-like sites now are aggressively managed content farms.

In what way? In the UK you can go to your local tesco or other big shop and grab a prepaid SIM card very easily. In fact, my university’s CS Dept used to have a bowl full of £5 prepaid SIM cards that sat in a bowl near the entrance.

Not the person you're replying to, but I think "current" and "system" in "current capitalistic system" are key here. They weren't railing against capitalism in general, but the current system, which is quite a different thing.

For my part, I'm not opposed to "capitalism" in general, but I have quite a few gripes with the current implementation of it.

"I tried the double edge safety razor. Got the brush, shaving cream, big pack of Astra blades. Watched a bunch of YouTube videos on technique. Spent way more time shaving. Nicked myself an ungodly number of times."

Maybe it's the blades?

I started with Derby Extra blades[1], and without using any special technique I've nicked myself only maybe once a year with them.

The weight of the razor might also figure in to it -- I got a Parker 66R razor[2], which has a nice heft to it, which means I don't have to press in to my face with the razor -- the weight of the razor itself is enough.

If you had a plastic and/or light-weight razor maybe you had to press in to your face, which could account for the nicks.

1000mg doses in the morning and evening. I was on Effexor and self-medicating with opioids ocassionally. The BPD is from childhood. Since Paracetamol experiment I dropped all the other drugs, I am totally functional and focused on my work now (the mental anguish was distracting and unmotivating). I am sure this is not good for my liver but I could take a reduced lifespan over the torture that is this disorder.
Studies absolutely don't show it to be common. Here's a meta analysis [0] of many that, as I mentioned, shows it below 1% of the population. That's rare. Don't confuse it being easy to find with it being common. Whenever you have a large number of people, you're going to reliably find rare traits and conditions.

What children? The reason the population is declining is because they didn't have children, increasing the burden on the government.

I've been to rural Japanese towns where it felt like there were no young people at all, only elderly, and the largest employers were related to elder care.

I suppose one aspect that might reduce the burden on the government, is that all the savings of these elderly are not going to someone's inheritance, but instead to the elder care institutions.

Sure, and this is why the wealthy always use some of their wealth protecting themselves. In a society where physical violence is an immanent possibility they hire some kind of bodyguards; in a society like ours where the main threats are not physical in nature, they employ lawyers.

Yeah, but beyond that, I can't see any disadvantage to it. It's practical, relatively intuitive syntax. + isn't conventionally used for anything else, being partly conventional for this already, and it works to combine multiple options into one.

The fact that they seem backwards seems like something that's easy to get used to over time. It's like electrons being negatively charged.
I think that's true for everyone, definitely for me and my acquaintances.

The only thing that works well are multi blade cartridges or two passes with a double edged razor (never tried a straight razor).
You realize that the individual EU countries that those same politicians represent are promoting rail travel over air travel for short haul flights for their own citizens.[1] France themselves actually passed legislation regarding this.[2]. And I know the Netherlands has made a similar attempt at legislation.

I believe consistent messaging from leaders regarding climate action does actually make a difference to the people they are asking to think and acting responsibly regarding their impact on on our fragile climate.

The EU just last year promoted "2021 the European Year of Rail."[3][4] And Adina Vălean, the European Commissioner for Transport has been very vocal about this promotion of long-distance and cross-border passenger rail travel across the continent.

So if I build a machine that has as output other machines randomly generated that are not extrapolated from anything I know it wouldn't count because I still "extrapolated from similar information" I already had?

Absurd line of logic.
> While that may be quite bad, it's still worlds apart from losing data.

Except if you keep overwriting a flash-based storage system, at some point that flash storage gets destroyed (wear level). You can absolutely achieve such by having a near full filesystem on flash. Mechanical harddrives or partitions don't suffer from this issue.

Perhaps the issue occurs more quickly on btrfs, that I don't know, but it could happen on any filesystem. On the other hand, you should have backups. Personally, I use ZFS on two of my machines, with snapshot feature.
I understand the sentiment, and I don't think you were probably being serious, but, for the sake of conversation, I think the issue with dictatorships is eventually with stability. The allure of that much power in a single position leads to the wrong kind of people talking it.

Actually, when we frame things that way, it almost makes me feel like democracy is primarily designed to provide a certain amount of slowness in government; enough to spot corruption coming and head it off. Maybe corruption always eventually wins, just more slowly in democracies. Kinda feels that way lately.

1 Bought Gilette razors at highway robbery prices
2 Bought Gilette Razors at Slightly less highway robbery prices at Costco
3 Bought Harry Razors at a significant savings (Gilette publishes ads "Won't you think of our employee's familes!?)
4 Grew a Goatee, stopped shaving as much
4.5 Got a Braun to maintain the goatee
5 Found Gilette Razors offer a superior shave to the Harry ones
Now Shave whole face every two weeks and just the non-goatee parts once a week.
(Replace Gilette blades about once every two months.)

I'm good with what it's costing me now.
Yeah this doesn’t match up with my experience. Double edged gets to equivalent efficiency after the learning curve for me.

Perhaps my hair is just soft, and I suspect it is, but I started out taking 10-15 minutes and now I can do a quick shave in 5.

It lasts longer, it’s cheaper, and easier on my skin — I break out less often.
I'd love to make a good browser game and I know how, but I am absolutely useless wrt. game design stuff itself.
most of our thread pools are long lived, so we don't ever shut them down. When the pool is not long lived, we have a try-with-resources wrapper which handles the shutdown.

Most of the time, we do calls to .execute and then join the different threads at the end. The code running within the threads represent the majority of our code, so the boilerplate you're talking about might 10 out of 2000 lines.

Our only problem is the number of threads we can spawn safely, and that limit is removed with loom.
Absolute number doesn't matter, impact does. Economic demand for environmental destruction is easiest to reduce by reducing population though.

Did adding more channels start improving performance in a significant way sometime in the past decade?

Last time I checked, single vs dual channel was like a 5-10% performance difference, mostly useful for integrated graphics (and even then latency was the bigger problem)...
I disagree. If often had to spend time in highway traffic jams (which is what Mercedes seems to be offering here) I’d rather pay an extra 10k to get 30 minutes of my life back every day instead of buying a car which in which I’d be 1.5% less likely to die during a crash.

Since `ps` is featuring prominently here, folks might be interested in https://github.com/c-blake/procs which is a color ps (Linux-only right now). It has a more canonical CLI since it is based upon the Nim CLI generator https://github.com/c-blake/cligen. It also uses cligen's subcommand feature (display, find, scrollsys) and so it can replace pgrep, pkill, ps, top, vmstat, etc., etc. Uses the same color scheme as https://github.com/c-blake/lc which re-organizes the mismash ls CLI quite a bit.
That‘s me but evermore so I‘m stuck between a rock and a hard place.

As one sibling comment - I too have noticed this: I can remember friends of my parents showing by having a good time completely spontaneously. I liked it very much.

On the other hand I’m one of those people who get irrationally upset by random visits especially when it’s from family.

I guess that’s one reason why it’s so hard for me to be happy.
> There is no reason for someone to not live it up if the collective is not going to also sacrifice.

If everyone thought as you do saying "Until everyone agrees to sacrifice, I won't either" then no one would ever sacrifice. Leading by example on the other hand is a proven way to help inspire change and can help avoid adding to harms caused by people who choose to live selfishly as long as they can point to anyone else also being selfish.

Housing is a subject full of complications and increased population density causes problems for the environment as well. Personally, I don't care of you live in a McMansion or a shanty town. I don't care of you buy the plastic razor with 47 blades or whatever they are up to now or switch to double bladed razors, but don't blame your selfishness on "the collective". You have no power over what they do, and they have no power over what you do. You alone are responsible for deciding for yourself what you're willing to give up in order to help the environment.

I got mine for £15 in TK Maxx (TJ in the States). It was a "Hairy Bikers" branded one, so presumably a white label manufacturer. That's not a one off either, there are always some in there at the price.

I did sand it a bit with a palm sander because the Internet told me to, but I'm pretty sure it would have been fine anyway.

It's been years, and I've deliberately seasoned it only once, and I don't think I actually really needed to. Sometimes when it's been used for tomatoes and looks thirsty, I'll put a wipe of oil in and heat it up for a bit.

I don't miss the very expensive Le Creuset wedding present non stick pan that turned out to be as bad as all the rest.

However, also in T[KJ] Maxx are 10 times more truly terrible Teflon pans.
For a daily use straight razor, about once a season or twice a year.

Remember that you keep a razor sharp by using the pasted strop and having a good maintenance routine. After a while the cutting edge becomes more convex, which is where the stone is needed to straighten out.

A coticule is flattened on every use, because you rub a smaller stone on it to create the milky suspension that will do the actual abrading. I've had the same stone for 20 years.
Live below your means, save up money, put it into something where you can just pick up the checks.

It is not that work friends can not be long term friends. I met one of my closest friend when we were working for a startup. There is something about big companies which prevents people from making true friends. And I think it is the collective belief that "work friends are not true friends". People don't want to share their mind freely with each other and there is good reason for that. We fear that we might speak something which is inappropriate. We are trying to be politically correct all the time. I am pretty sure I have offended people during college but that didn't not matter in long term. One can't always be just neutral or positive.
I brought Lisp System Implementation a few weeks ago. While its pretty good, I did have one feedback: it would be great to have a book that shows making a Lisp step-by-step, rather than documenting the final version. I know a few people who are interested in learning how to write compilers, and would prefer something like that (LSI would be too hard for them, since it would require reading a large portion of the book to even gain some basic context of why we are doing what we are doing).

I spend $0 on shaving cream, because I just use regular bar soap to shave.

I spent $15 on 200 double-edged safety razor blades a couple of years ago, and have used maybe 50 of them from shaving every-other-day.

At this rate that $15 in blades should last me 4 years.
> the average person understands it more than you realize and they see zero value in it. The two most frequent reasons for not using BTC/Chivo being price volatility and not wanting to be tracked by their government.

The article literally has a graph where 62% of the people surveyed here agree with using Chivo. Of the 38% who don't, 40% of them cite not understanding bitcoin as a reason. Volatility and trust are also reasons, but it is disingenuous to assert that the average person understands bitcoin and rejects when there is literally data contradicting this, and in fact that the majority of people don't even object to Chivo/BTC at all here. https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Agree-w...

I find it amusing to expect a resolution here in less than a year for something that has never been attempted before. This is a country where 70% of people had never used a bank account before. If as a counterfactual at this point it was a raging success in terms of replacing USD, critical articles would probably cast things as a mania/bubble poised to fall apart, or cast the adoption as being coerced.
I concur on 1. I feel like this could be extended to every debug tool I’ve worked with, sadly. It’s hard to beat console.log (and associated methods) in JS or error_log and tail -f in PHP. The debugging tools always seem to add just enough overhead to not be worth the trouble in most cases. Yet there’s always someone writing a new article about how anyone who’s not using one is stuck in the dark ages for the clicks.
This is outstanding.

"Justice McReynolds wrote the dissenting opinion. He protested that gold clauses were binding contracts, and that allowing the administration's policies to stand would permanently damage faith in the government to uphold its own contracts and those of private parties. McReynolds distinguished the cases at hand from the Legal Tender Cases, arguing that in the earlier cases the government sought to continue operating until it could meet its obligations, while the Roosevelt administration apparently sought to nullify them."

Nerds dramatically exaggerate the significance of this. Yes, if you just look at the kanji, "outsider" is possibly the more literal translation, but at the end of the day what matters is what is in people's heads when they use the word, and not the word itself.

"Gaijin" gets played up in weeby debates -- by people who are looking for reasons to be offended -- as some hugely significant cultural deviation, but it's honestly more like "foreigner" in practical usage. That word can be incredibly rude, or completely innocuous in different contexts. As can 外人. It's more accurate to say that both words mean "foreigner", but 外国人 is the PC version that renders you safe from criticism.

(The irony, of course, is that no matter where you go you'll hear plenty of borderline racist policy talk with the sweetest of language.)
