Transmission information according to the CDC:

Transmission of monkeypox virus occurs when a person comes into contact with the virus from an animal, human, or materials contaminated with the virus. The virus enters the body through broken skin (even if not visible), respiratory tract, or the mucous membranes (eyes, nose, or mouth). Animal-to-human transmission may occur by bite or scratch, bush meat preparation, direct contact with body fluids or lesion material, or indirect contact with lesion material, such as through contaminated bedding. Human-to-human transmission is thought to occur primarily through large respiratory droplets. Respiratory droplets generally cannot travel more than a few feet, so prolonged face-to-face contact is required. Other human-to-human methods of transmission include direct contact with body fluids or lesion material, and indirect contact with lesion material, such as through contaminated clothing or linens.

Perhaps. University never intends to compete for top talent with their salary offerings. I recall during a salary discussion years ago, my manager at the time mentioned that the salary was indeed below market but offered up the point below as an advantage.

Yup. This was true and was a definitely a benefit.

Something can't be traitorous with respect to the intellectual discourse of a given topic, but to a group.

Group consensus is not about intellectual correctness, obviously. Groups are about evolution, as is belonging to them and seeking just that. We collectively subscribe to them because that's the emerged mechanism by which we modulate decision making where the direct representation of individual takes is not feasible. Individual takes matter not when the subject at hand isn't actually about the subject, but about winning at life.
But heating and (battery powered) transportation are perfect examples of time-insensitive demand. I don't care when my car is charged, as long as it's reasonably full in the morning. And if your house has enough thermal mass (like an office building) and you give your heating system some wiggle room (let's say 2 degrees up and down) you can heat a bit above the target when energy is cheap so you don't have to heat as much when it's expensive.

If you purpose build the system for it you can do even better, like having an oversized boiler as thermal storage, or ice as cold storage. Those systems exist, they just aren't common because there's little incentive with the way electricity is currently metered.

I drove a Model Y a few weeks ago and I found the "press a button to open the door" to be both an egregious safety violation and terrible UX. What do you possibly get by having the door release be a button instead of a handle? It archives nothing but making it extremely nonintuitive to leave the vehicle if the electronic release stops functioning.

Having a mostly-hidden emergency release is practically worthless in an emergency scenario, since in such an event you can't count on users hunting for and operating a new control that they've never used before.

Hey your story is incredibly impactful and also hard to read emotionally. I don't know if you're comfortable accepting money from strangers, but you might try reaching out to some mutual aid groups. There are a lot of local anarchist/mutual aid groups depending on what city you are in. Reddit would be a good place to look for them. Also if you have a website or somewhere you sell photos, I'd love to buy from you.

If they operate in regulated markets, then the regulations thereof determine their legality.

A ponzi scheme in itself isnt illegal (which is why there are so many crypto ponzi schemes) - it is when it is considered securities fraud that it becomes illegal.

The thought is that by regulating cryptocurrencies (i.e. treating it as a similar asset class as stocks, commodities, etc), such "investments" would be subject to the same rules - whether it has any real inherent value or not is irrelevant.
So what is your realistic alternative then? Make it all go away? Ban all of it, 100% guaranteed?
Probably.

As far as I know, they aren't air transmittable, so I don't see the problem.
No, it is not. Lawrence v. Texas was accepted by SCOTUS for privacy purposes only to examine this extremely narrow question:

“2. Whether Petitioners’ criminal convictions for adult consensual sexual intimacy in the home violate their vital interests in liberty and privacy protected by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment?"

To spell it out: "adult consensual sexual activity" is not even remotely close to "everything".

You're also wrong on abortion. Directly from Roe v. Wade:

"The privacy right involved, therefore, cannot be said to be absolute. In fact, it is not clear to us that the claim asserted by some amici that one has an unlimited right to do with one's body as one pleases bears a close relationship to the right of privacy previously articulated in the Court's decisions. The Court has refused to recognize an unlimited right of this kind in the past."

"We, therefore, conclude that the right of personal privacy includes the abortion decision, but that this right is not unqualified and must be considered against important state interests in regulation."

Can you tell me where you got the idea that "it's quite similar to the current reason abortion is legal"?

None of these are arguing everything done in private should be legal. Even the most extreme argument (not accepted by SCOTUS) is that things you do to your own body are protected.

But if you do something (say, fraud), in private, no one is arguing you should have a right to privacy.

There was a harbinger of this in the Falklands/Malvinas conflict, when Argentine forces sunk HMS Sheffield with Exocet missiles. Also, the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in 2020 was showing the effectiveness of drones, and I'm sure Ukraine was taking notes.
Why do you link a monkeypox article?

That is smallpox:

> One day, when I realized how hard it was to find any reason for my current unhappiness, I thought, "Wait a minute. I bet this unhappiness is really something chemical, not actually caused by circumstances.*" I began to speculate that my body was programmed to be unhappy a certain percentage of the time, and that hormones or something were the real reason behind moments of mild depression."

This is exactly what happens to me with my dysthymia. The intensely heavy body feeling (medical term: "psychomotor retardation") and low energy aren't really problems in themselves, it's when I "buy into them" that it really goes downhill. The problem is that it does kinda suck and makes it hard to concentrate and do things.

Unfortunately my mood has been generally very low since about age 9 to 11 unfortunately, and I'm 27 now. I don't see much value in life or in others or relationships (even though I am married!). So that combined with the physical symptoms makes it a difficult and slow life.
There's no rule that says a "coupe" has no window frame and a "sedan" does. I have a Subaru WRX STI which is officially a sedan, yet all four windows are frameless. They also don't roll down when opening or closing. They just work, and in the 20+ years I've owned Subarus with frameless windows, I've never had an issue with leakage, noise, nor have I had difficulties opening or closing the doors.
Very interesting approach! Trying this out right now. A lot of information gets lots with Typeforms, and this could be the disruption of this.

SARS, MERS, and Swineflu all garnered attention at the time. An outbreak of a new disease is interesting, regardless of what happened the last 2+ years.
As a PhD student, I already got paid for only 20 hours of work per week. Of course, I worked at least 60.
From my experience with graduate school I would add two points:

1. It helps to have a clear goal. Most of the people I knew viewed a PhD as a job qualification like an undergrad degree or a professional degree and they now work in tech. Others became professors, which had been their goal probably from before undergrad.

2. Social skills are really important for learning, working, getting help with problems, staying motivated, etc. This is still true for highly technical subjects, but isn't really taught explicitly.

To summarize the linked blog post (emphasis because this is not a news article, an urgent bulletin, or a report on research findings):

Cases of Monkeypox have been popping up around the world. Monkeypox is not a new disease, is "not particulary contagious", and is rarely fatal. The provocative thing is that numerous cases are popping up at the same time in different parts of the world.
Yeah there is a fair amount of sexual activity going on but the whole series is about the reverence of the motherly spirit, the donii, and so it's contextually appropriate.
Yes, but add that with US style mass layoffs. It's like they want to have the cake and eat it too. Sweden's system usually offers a lot of job security. That's why many people don't mind working there despite the lower pay. In this case, it is not.
Circular logic. Because Russian crimes are documented (in western media) every war crime attributed to Russians must be true as well.

I believe one of the really appealing aspects to an FPGA for robotics use is the ability to get very low latency in the loop from processing sensor input data to actuating motors / actuators in response to that data.
Sure. Have you read Roe v. Wade. Where do you get the idea that it's eerily close? Can you quote the specific words from that decision?

Here are some that are at odds with what you are saying:

"The privacy right involved, therefore, cannot be said to be absolute. In fact, it is not clear to us that the claim asserted by some amici that one has an unlimited right to do with one's body as one pleases bears a close relationship to the right of privacy previously articulated in the Court's decisions. The Court has refused to recognize an unlimited right of this kind in the past."

"We, therefore, conclude that the right of personal privacy includes the abortion decision, but that this right is not unqualified and must be considered against important state interests in regulation."

For Finland fired is different from laid off. So you can fire someone if they repeatedly break instructions like OSHA related stuff, fraud or stealing and so on. Very high bar in reality. Laid off on other hand is longer process requiring negotiation between employer and employees, comes with payment from 2 weeks (under 1 year employment) to 6 months(over 12 years). Also in some case temporary layoff, like in the original meaning of term is possible. After sometime the employment continues like before with same contract and seniority.
The overall attack surface of fingerprinting is so huge that even if some fantasy world in which all of WebGL, Canvas, Web Audio, WebRTC, etc., could be permanently removed, you're still fingerprintable. The time of day you visit specific sites is enough to eventually fingerprint you. This data can and is collected on back-ends and then shared across data networks. It doesn't matter what you do in the client, you're fingerprintable.
Because the article talks about the theoretical effectiveness of smallpox vaccines against monkeypox but that no vaccine (smallpox or monkeypox) is currently approved in Switzerland (the smallpox vaccine was approved in the past but is not anymore since its eradication)
Netflix has fallen more than Bitcoin has this year. Netflix has no or very little in the way of underlying physical assets to back up their valuation -- they do have intellectual property that may or may not be worth something, but is not an intrinsically scarce good like, say, real estate or even like iPhones.

So, serious question for people who argue that Bitcoin deserves a special class of regulation: what differentiates Bitcoin and Netflix here?
Yup, good point!

The rental market in many previously hot areas (SF, South Bay) has taken a hit, but not sure where it will land long term.

Medium term there is a LOT less pressure with a lot of techies having relocated and remote work being accepted.

Don’t forget though that anyone who is a ‘bigger fish’ (looking to invest many millions or half a billion or so) in a high inflation environment is going to be looking for as sure a bet they can with as high a return they can.

And since money isn’t as cheap anymore, those are easier to find and get.

So while it may not be bad returns, it may be bad returns compared to something else (a new business, for instance).
I admire Donald Knuth for his contribution on algorithms and CS stuff. He is one of greatest computer scientist of our time. But would his every advice outside CS fields will be great? I am not sure about this.
I finished grad school twenty years ago. My stipend was $1100/month for nine months and no tuition waiver. They did let me pay in-state tuition, since I was an employee within the state. For a while, I spent 60% of my after-tax stipend check on housing.

I'm cheering to see the grift coming apart. Yes, some people are losing. But the early the grift falls apart, the fewer future people get destroyed by it.

I'd rather cheer seeing crypto fail, then stand by and watch it suck in vulnerable person after vulnerable person in perpetuity.

Also, I absolutely do cheer the losses of bad people. If a scammer or ethnonationalist loses their hard earned winnings.... Good.
It’s not just the sibling comment that has this attitude, it’s also mholt himself displaying the same attitude.

> The major downside to reddit is that it's not distributed, and the system is owned by a single corporation.

I think the voting system acts as another major difference, with ambiguous effect.

Usenet had no concept of 'likes' or even views, so threads implicitly sorted by most recent reply. In the modern sense, its only measure of engagement was replies. Low-effort posts that would receive plenty of upvotes on Reddit (or equivalently here) but few replies would still quickly disappear, implicitly discouraged.

On the other hand, a reply-only measure of engagement also gave birth to the original (high-effort) trolls and flamebait. Voting systems allow more passive suppression of this content, at least on topics where the "popularity contest" side effect is not a negative.

Probably not, there have been countless outbreaks and epidemics in the past, all got some attention and media scare. But we haven't had a pandemic since 1920s, so I would bet on the 99.9% chance of it being just a media scare, rather than a new pandemic.
She also said that her son owns cryptocurrency, "because he's a free man." I think it's quite an odd remark for a person in her position. The whole thing could be interpreted in a way that she has to be officially against bitcoin, but she also wants to signal that maybe bitcoin is a good idea too, given a free choice.

So I think the poster was being facetious, but I'll point out neither of those incentives would hold.

First, I've yet to meet a pro-choice person who didn't actually, you know, want the best outcomes for kids. They don't actually hate children, and there are other reasons to champion choice than "well, if they're born no one will adopt them" (despite what op says, pro-choice people don't ever list "no one will adopt them" as a reason to get an abortion. That whole line of reasoning is only a strawman presented by anti-abortion proponents. As you'll note even with this thread). Not to mention that if we got to "kid zero" with abortion at its current levels, it doesn't mean we'd stay at "kid zero" if you banned it.

Second, op -did- say with the same quality of outcomes for adopted kids as raised by natural parents. If pro-life activists can adopt as many children as they can, for all the wrong reasons, and still lead to equivalent outcomes...I really don't see the problem.
>It's interesting to note that the author does seem to have had anyone accuse him of being "traitorous" for trying to understand. He just asserts this strawman to paint those who might disagree as unreasonable and then bemoans his asserted lack of common ground.

Are you saying the author lacks credibility because they themselves do not show evidence of it happening to them? I'm confused, because the first and second sentences in your reply appears to acknowledge/agree with the author's conclusion. If you believe the author's complaint is legitimate, why claim they're making a strawman?
Haven't school kids in the US been required to be vaccinated against numerous diseases for ages?
The fundamental problem, which isn't going to get addressed short of the country falling apart, most likely, is that our particular system of government is a bit shit, and keeps getting worse the better everyone gets at gaming it.

Its very shittiness is why we can't realistically fix it. We've been relying on courts really stretching reasoning on the constitution to its breaking point, just to be able to have a mostly-modern state & economy, in terms of function and outcomes, and it's been like that for most of a century. Maybe it would've been better if the courts hadn't done that and had instead forced us to a crisis point much sooner, so we'd have to actually fix our governmental system, but who knows what suffering that might have caused.

Concerted attempts to change the course of the courts might finally bring us that crisis, though. We'll see. If they're maximally successful, I think it'll have to, because the US is gonna go downhill fast if kinda-shaky 20th century rulings supporting broadened federal power are wiped out en masse.
