I agree with that. You can see this in Ontario COVID statistics.

People that did not take the vaccine, despite all the pressure, tend to be healthier as population. They kind of self selected by being self confident in their health and not worrying about dying from COVID. The triple vaccinated in Ontario are now the highest risk of getting COVID. They too self selected, by tending to be older with pre existing health problems, and worried enough to get boosters.

> I suppose if a vast majority of Americans demanded a switch to BTC it could be done but if that was a real possibility it would be much easier to demand laws to stop the Fed instead of switching to a new currency.

Stopping the fed would certainly be a great start. But we still need to switch currencies to one that cannot be created or controlled by the government.

Whether bitcoin or something else, currency creation schedule should be damn near immutable, predictable, and the protocol should be ossified.

A currency that is unpredictable and can be created whenever the government pleases is unacceptable.
My cat spent the first year or so of his time with us plotting a Mission: Impossible style ingress into my home office. The tricky bit has been finding a way to the exposed ventilation pipe in our loft, from which he could hop through the high-up, paneless window into my office. He attempted literally climbing the walls, and investigated the possibility of hopping on the blades of the ceiling fan to reach the pipe. (Thankfully, he never hopped on said blades, only stared at them and attempted to trace a path back to a perch he could reach.)

I'm fairly certain he knows one could simply use the door handle. It's only a question of height and weight. He can reach it with his paws now, and it's only a matter of time before he figures out how to shift his weight to pop that door open...

> they won't feel and process pain quite like adults, and they won't remember it

Mostly it's that second point. Nobody can complain about their treatment if they can't remember having it. That's how childbirth was done in the mid-20th century - you just give the woman memory blockers and don't worry about whether she's comfortable.

That's also how procedures are still done now, even though consensus has moved to the view that the mid-century treatment of women giving birth was an atrocity. When I was getting a stomach biopsy (involving a large tube being shoved down your throat), they told me to take a sedative. I asked if the sedative would help with undergoing the procedure. And they told me no, people are just as unhappy either way, but if I took the sedative I wouldn't remember the procedure afterwards.

I've never known the term "chop shop" to also include stolen-parts swap meet, so by homeless people "involved in" chop shops, I read it as you saying that they are running chop shops. Which is an undertaking that requires tools and at minimum, semi-permanent secluded space.

It's now clear to me that you did not mean that, and rather meant something like "Homeless people that are street thieves."
1) the lack of a useful backpressure mechanism on mailbox size is a long standing issue in Erlang. It tends to not be too big a problem in practice, since overflows come from simple bugs that stop your system immediately and are found during development, rather than subtle conflicts that lurk around.

2) Erlang clustering isn't really supposed to withstand splits. Erlang was built for phone switches before the internet and while it is "distributed", the clustering is between a few boards or boxes that are wired together in the same rack, maybe over a hardwired LAN, not through the viscissitudes of a routed network like the internet connecting remote cities. So the cluster has to keep running if a node is out, but the idea is that node has crashed (or maybe equivalently, the network wire has been cut), not that the connection between nodes has somehow become flaky in a way that can be fixed with retries. Of course ordinary network connections are normally supervised under OTP and they do get restarted.
Palm OS developer releases source to classic games, 20 years after release
The state doesn't have 'quite a bit of money' to 'buy homes for people who need them, within the high-cost metros where they are homeless'.

San Francisco is spending $60k per year on each transient living in a tent on top of the various food stamps, general assistance and food deliveries etc. Many of these people are not from California. As I wrote previously this is a national problem not a local one - Hawaii is struggling with transients who have flown in and thanks to previous social networking know where to immediately register as 'unhoused'.

This is a huge intractable problem that needs cost efficient nationwide triaged solutions not complimentary housing in the most expense parts of the country for anyone who wants it.
I wonder how much of the benefits comes from the rewrite itself and not Rust. I have taken really bad hard to maintain very large code bases written in C++ and step-by-step refactored it into bug free maintainable code. In my experience bad code written in any language is hard to maintain. And good code written in any language is easy to maintain. I have worked with C code that was a joy to maintain and C code that was hell on earth. The difference was the skill of the original developers not the C language itself. Rust is a nice step forward but it is not magic. If it becomes popular enough then people will write massive impossible to maintain code in it. It is inevitable. The same goes for microservices BTW. A friend of mine is deep in coding hell trying to maintain a 20 years old 100+ microservices system. There ain’t no silver bullet.
> I think it's a fundamental error to call anything 'our way' or 'their way'. It prevents you - and them - from learning and integrating ideas.

The phrases "our way" and "their way" are neutral. Our way can be better sometimes, not as good other times. And vice versa.

Avoiding common useful simple language can only reduce clarity.

> My way is to avidly learn and use the best ideas I can find, regardless of their source.

Absolutely. "Your way" is good in this instance.

I agree with the weird pushiness on other products that add specious business value, but I do think there is room for feature growth in the main product.

For example, the auto-merge functionality is somewhat useful, but it sometimes gets it wrong. Both merging and splitting alerts is extremely clunky. I'd also love to be able to have policies like "this alert is low-priority outside of business hours". The ability to re-open an accidentally closed alert. The ability to edit the alerting rules (the Global Ruleset) without needing to be a super-admin, as the Power That Be are reluctant to hand that out, also, the ability to just read the Global Ruleset with my peon privileges.

… the sort of spit & polish that doesn't happen, IMO, anymore, because everything is an MVP feature, before the agile scrum PM moves on to the next MVP feature. "Polish" just accumulates in the JIRA graveyard.

It's none of your business why they want to call a referendum, or why anybody would vote as they would, or how they would vote, individually. There may be as many reasons as votes. You will of course vote on it as you please, or not vote, and it's also nobody else's business whether or how you voted, or why.

You are free to announce how you will vote, and why. And you can change your mind afterward, and vote the opposite, without telling anybody.

From a brief skim of the literature, the main difference seems to be that darker skin is better protected against aging effects from sun exposure, and better maintains its elasticity (etc.) when exposed to ultraviolet radiation over decades. But less research than might be expected has been done about other differences between the skin of different groups.

* * *

> There exists substantial evidence to support that Black skin has a higher transepidermal water loss, variable blood vessel reactivity, decreased skin surface pH, and larger mast cell granules compared with White skin. Although some deductions have been made about Asian and Hispanic skin, further evaluation needs to be done. Differences in water content, corneocyte desquamation, elastic recovery/extensibility, lipid content and skin microflora, although statistically significant, are inconclusive.

> The thickness of the skin is higher on the cheek compared with the dorsal and ventral forearm, with no ethnic or age-related specificity. We confirm that the sub-epidermal non-echogenic band is a sensitive marker of skin aging, and reveal for the first time that it is less pronounced in African Americans. From OCT images, we bring out evidence that the thickness of the dermal–epidermal junction (DEJ) decreased with age, and was higher in African Americans than in Caucasians. Finally, by comparing US images at 150 MHz with OCT images, we show that papillary dermis thickness can be measured and appears to be quite constant irrespective of age or ethnic group.

> Skin roughness, scaliness and stratum corneum hydration varied significantly in different anatomic areas and age groups. There was no racial variation in skin hydration between any anatomic site, nor significant differences in roughness and scaliness between races, except for the preauricular area. Skin roughness was significantly increased in the aged, compared to the young at the preauricle, volar forearm, lower back, thigh and lower leg. Older women demonstrated significantly more scaling at the preauricle than younger women. Stratum corneum hydration correlated with scaliness. No significant correlation between stratum corneum hydration and skin roughness was observed.

I don't know why I'm replying to someone who thinks governments don't owe us democracy but people are allowed to complain when things get worse and I would prefer if previous policy didn't disallow increasing density in Canada. Incidentally I live in Tokyo now and it's now cheaper than Vancouver and the density (which is actually not as high as people think[1]) is a positive, not a negative.

> There seems to be an illogical hate to people who have build companies that ended up being successfull [sic].

Companies are comprised of people and people do not like giving up control they have fought for, whether it is reasonable or not. It is difficult for many to avoid the temptation to use a position of power unethically to retain it. Nobody wants to be RIM/Blackberry, but it's neither okay for a company like Qualcomm to make immensely inequitable deals that are tantamount to extortion because they own patents on essential technology.

If you're the only game in town, you have a responsibility to act reasonably, but many do not and often the founders/execs seem to think they are entitled to keep their success.

Yes, you earned your success, but keeping it is another fight.

Most languages can be installed with `apt get` or `brew install` nowadays. You may not get the latest versions but it's not like the old days where you have to download and compile from source and then update your PATHs anymore. I think Ubuntu comes preinstalled with python too.

While it's true that you can get started quickly with a <script>, I think you'll encounter inexplicable walls much quicker than other languages.

If you limit yourself to WebAPIs, you'll have a even smaller toolset than node. Not to mention most tutorials are assuming you are executing in node and not a browser e.g. file system access which was only recently available in Chrome and not implemented in Firefox. You also can't interact with most of the web due to CORS (such a common problem that it's pretty much a rite of passage for any JS developer now).
Perhaps the causality here is that if you care about reducing own mortality, then your general course is action ends up reducing your mortality.

With a sufficiently robust RCT, I'd think that indicates an issue with the observation in the observational study -- i.e., there are some confounding factors in the real world -- rather than any sort of issue with whatever effect the RCT found.

Conversely, if we had a large observational study that was then contradicted by a robust RCT... well, I'd still be inclined to trust the RCT.

(At the same time, I think a good observational study is, by its nature, more applicable to one's own life. If an observational study suggests that $FOOBAR is good, then -- as long as there's also a solid RCT confirming that $FOOBAR is safe -- why not try out some $FOOBAR for yourself?)

All science needs to be published. Pilot studies, observational studies, quasi-experimental studies. Otherwise, we don't have the information we need to create randomized control trials.

However, I'd strongly support keeping all that science from being publicized.

just guesses, because they are so infrequently worn these days, is that it somehow prevents eyeball deformation due to its rigidity and so the axial elongation does not occur.

I'm a little sceptical about that theory, but my own rx did not go increase much when I wore RGPs. After that I did have some progression, but also a million other things changed, so who knows.

RGPs however, are quite distinct in that they give absolutely perfect vision. better than soft contacts by a mile. Maybe some refractive thing as well, optometrist told me numerous times under-correction would lead to further progression.

WhatsApp is a bit iffy. I prefer Signal over WhatsApp since I read somewhere that people can report your account and have WhatsApp inspect your messages for wrongdoing. Nothing wrong with that per se, but it defeats the purpose of E2E encryption if they do that.

Luckily I share memes with a close cadre of friends who would never report me, but if you have 100s of random acquaintances on WhatsApp then your chances of being reported increases.
