We do not need to concern ourselves with how people’s access to information should be restricted.

In fact, there have
been published several robust scientific arguments for the possibility that COVID-19 infection can increase the risk of cancer.

Here’s one paper, Cancer as a prospective sequela of long COVID‐19, Geetanjali Saini and Ritu Aneja, both of the Department of Biology, Georgia State University, Atlanta, Georgia. Published April 29, 2021 in the journal Bioessays of the Wiley Online Library. – https://doi.org/10.1002%2Fbies.202000331

“Herein, we propose that long COVID‐19 may predispose recovered patients to cancer development and accelerate cancer progression. This hypothesis is based on growing evidence of the ability of SARS‐CoV‐2 to modulate oncogenic pathways, promote chronic low‐grade inflammation, and cause tissue damage.”

And:

”COVID-19 has been associated with T-cell depletion and activation of oncogenic pathways, including JAK-STAT, MAPK, and NF-κB, potentially increasing the risk of cancer development.[20] Hypoxia due to inflammation or virus-induced angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 depletion can induce oxidative stress and malignant transformation.[21-26] Over time, both chronic inflammation and oxidative stress can lead to DNA damage and subsequent carcinogenesis.[27-31] Moreover, COVID-19 is known to cause multiorgan damage,[32] and extensive tissue damage is an oncogenic driver.”

Etc. etc.; I suggest reading the paper, and others like it.

They have 600 people, onboarding a veteran Airbus exec as CEO and are located in the south of Germany which is the center of the German aircraft and high tech manufacturing industry. On the surface they pass my smell test.

From their website:

Claiming they have no clue seems to be without facts.
What, do you mean reversing an octree in the 4th dimension doesn't solve that ? But it's the only thing I practiced for my interview!
A challenge for the crypto world is that the values of being decentralized and trustworthy seem a bit at odds with the value of rapidly evolving.

If you compare the Amazon or Google of 1999 vs today, they're practically different businesses. Most well-funded, centralized businesses have a hard time evolving at all, let alone to that degree.

Seems like the challenges facing a decentralized organization wanting to evolve would be even larger.
It looks like GCC and MSVC don't either, but ICC does.
The "having COVID versus having the vaccine" comparison doesn't make sense because the vaccines do little to prevent infection (and may even be increasing the odds with more recent strains). So the risks are cumulative, not mutually exclusive.
The company offers you a salary/wage. It is up to you to determine whether that can cover your commute costs and if the job is worth it when factoring that in. If the company gets involved in calculating individual commute expenses for everyone, they’ll have to hire a department of accountants to handle it. Instead, companies pay you a lump sum (salary) and you decide what to do with it. This is one of the basic purposes of our market economy
While I share your sentiment, some technologies automatically come with certain features.

It's the (evtl. statically) compiled versus the scripted ones. And among the scripted again is one ubiquitous and can be lean on dependencies (sh).

So IMO there is certain interest in how it's built. And it may attract contributors, inspire or serve as a warning.

> Timing any market is a fool's errand.

So just buy everything all the time and it will all work out? Smart money loves people with this philosophy; it gives them a nice supply of suckers to sell their obviously inflated assets.

There is no need to time a market perfectly; one can gradually rotate out of overpriced assets and into underpriced assets using basic common sense measures. This is called investing as opposed to blind confidence or speculative hope of everything “just working out”.

The ironic thing is that people with this philosophy of always buy and never sell or shift asset classes are inherently timing the market on when they will sell their risky stock assets … when they need to retire or when they need the money in x years.

> what is the benefit of blockchain and all?

The design space is way bigger, so you can create better solutions. “Trust institution X” is a special case.

I can open a position on my favorite DEX (trusting the DEX administer, which can be a centralized authority, not to push an upgrade that drains my balance) and also trust that my position can be liquidated (due to incentives for anybody to submit the liquidation transaction, thereby not having to trust that a centralized liquidation bot won’t have somehow failed at that exact moment).

You could design a brokerage system where accountholders must trust the broker with personal details like SSN, etc, but don’t have to trust the broker not to disable buy/sell buttons due to solvency issues.

As someone who's not versed in the ins and outs of FSD, can I ask why it's better to revert to human control in the case of an unavoidable crash?

If a human sees that's about to happen, they'd likely just scream and jerk the steering wheel some random direction and slam the breaks and generally cause a loss of control, no?

If the FSD can predict a crash and calculate all the trajectories, can't it at least attempt to steer the vehicle in such a way to minimize collision forces (try to glance by the other car if it doesn't take you off a cliff) and/or orient the car for maximum protection (avoid tbones) or even just brake with a faster reaction time and safer ramp that doesn't skid the tires?

I'm genuinely wondering here why reverting control is considered safer.

I'm also highly skeptical. I've heard from someone in the industry that their original demos were intentionally misleading. They had images of the Lilium aircraft taking off and flying for a bit, but what they didn't tell you was that the thing that was flying was essentially a large foam model that probably weighed 1/10th of what the real thing would. I don't know if that's the case anymore, but I wouldn't personally invest my own money in them though. Joby seems like they have a much more promising electric aircraft.

I don't have a position in either company nor in any electric aircraft stocks.
> Splitting hairs vis-a-vis "aggression" and "violence" might work well in your libertarian circles

I am certainly not a libertarian. Having said that, here is a scenario which clarifies the difference between "aggression" and "violence", imo - someone peacefully living in their home, when someone breaks in for a burglary. At that point, if the homeowner shoots and kills the burglar, that behavior is non-aggressive, violent and justified in my opinion.

So yes, definitely not hairsplitting and nothing to do with liberatarianism.
My company used to pay for anyone who did on-call work, but they stopped because the internet got to the point of being ubiquitous. People would still have a decent internet connection with or without the job.

I did actually read one of the recent corporate policies and they will pay up to $30/month toward home internet, but only for those who are full time WFH (not related to COVID). I haven't bothered to do it. It's a lot of hassle for $30.

It's a shame to me that LG's gram didn't catch on more (or come with an option for more RAM).

It's everything I wanted from the one Dell XPS 13 that I previously owned and more, with the exception of speakers that are unsuited to quality music.

The battery life is fantastic, it's light weight, thin, larger screen (I ended up hating 13 inches). It's absolutely cool under pressure- just as fast as my last MBP at compiling code, but it doesn't sound like a helicopter is going to take off (tbh I forget if it even has fans, but if it does I've never heard them).

I went through the trouble of booting / windows and grabbing the latest firmware updates before installing linux, but literally everything Just Works. Close the laptop lid and there's practically zero battery drain overnight.

If games are your thing, you're more or less stuck at casual gaming, but it's easily become the favorite laptop that I've owned across HP, Dell, Apple, Acer and Toshiba.

I worked in person for a local govt and remotely for a large tech company with a completely remote team.

The onboarding was terrible for the local govt. Mostly focused on legal aspects-they expected me to have office communication skills off the bat and they offered little for training with mobile techs that I was hired to do (I just did one or two projects and they assumed I already had full experience). The office politics were dreadful. Lots of meetings where things were not decided and often missing people that could answer questions. When you reach out by email, they just visit you by your desk, ask clarifying questions and explain things verbally, often referring to a site that I have to manually type in.

The large tech company had a terrific 3 month onboarding process and I was slowly eased by senior members into taking on the more repetitive work. I learned more about the company in two weeks then I did for my 6 months for that govt. If there is a question, I can reach out by email and setup an inpromptu google meet-links and commands to use are shared in the chat and easily used and tested. Decisions were made and I am building connections in the industry with people in and outside of work that do not work in my area.

What are the must-use applications on Avalanche?

When I first paid for dial-up Internet in 1993, it was pre-web, just clunky text-mode telnet, but the apps were obviously attractive: IRC, email, Usenet, ftp. Talk to anyone in the world, download latest stuff for free!

Same with www a few years later. The dot-com business schemes may have been harebrained but the underlying protocol’s usage was growing exponentially because people couldn’t get enough of the things you could find on the web.

What’s the thing on Avalanche that would keep me coming back every day, like dial-up Internet and web did?
Well you do have an example of this in BTC. For physical property, it might be backed by a smart contract, then whoever takes your land, does so at the risk of being deplatformed. IOW, take my land, then the world around you becomes off-limits. Then you would have to be Alexander the Great to expand your world. Then antagonist is back into an energy expenditure issue. It's just not worth the energy cost to steal your land, so I don't.

Nope. They’re too short.

Maybe we are wasting too many brain cycles on this. My kids watched this (and Peppa pig) when they were in the 3-4 yr range. They quickly tire of the monotony of where the end result is being "useful" or "well-behaved & happy" all the time and move off to other things.

So, yeah, they're kind of repressive & authoritarian. OTOH, I don't think the kids are affected as much unless the parents emulate Sir Topham Hat.

SSDs do address the spinning rust fragmentation problem, but I don’t store anything important on an SSD, typically using an external spinning rust HD for photos, media etc I do this because I once had an OS SSD fail on me. I reinstalled Windows on the replacement SSD no problem, but some important stuff got lost. SSDs wear out if used heavily, and Windows makes a huge amount of writes, mostly for stuff that isn’t even necessary or used by the user.

> Is there a way to arrive at a proto-consensus fast

Yes, you use your individual judgement and go with that; updating as you can.

"consensus" here is an appeal to avoid individual responsibility. Embrace the possibility of being wrong (or right) on your own.

In the wider civilization context; a society that unites behind one approach to a problem is more likely to fail big than to succeed big. "A free society pulls all kinds of different directions," as Pterry put it. Often the best solutions are only recognized after some crazy shit is tried, but they are recognized as best in part because the crazy shit was tried.
Nice work! The Remote Development license I linked earlier specifically excludes one from "reverse engineer[ing]" the code – which appears also to apply "to any Microsoft services... for the software".

IANAL, but I'd definitely be nervous to touch this stuff with a 10ft pole.

Not controlling for sun behavior is really problematic as that tends to differ in coastal from more continental places which also correlates with fish consumption.

Yes, and they are improving by a few percent every year. No major breakthroughs, but compounding improvements year over year, which do add up.

Batteries have improved incredibly in my lifetime. As a kid I had an electric RC plane that barely made it off the ground. Now you can get pretty cheap aerobatic RC planes that easily compete with gasoline powered models.

I am fully willing to pay somebody for software. I just also want the software to be free (in the FSF sense).

Do I need to pay each time I want one of their updates? Or do I need to pay a subscription for support+code update?

I'm 100% game to do that but I want to own what I get and I want the freedom to do with it what I want (within reason).

If I want to recompile the software with some change I made, port the software to some other hardware, or go dig in the source to identify a bug, I want that option. It's that plain and simple.

If the license says "no commercial use unless you pay X flat, Y subscription, or Z whatever else", that's perfectly fine with me. People already use pirated versions of proprietary software so if someone wants to use your software without paying they are going to do so.

TLDR: I'll pay pretty much whatever you want for the product provided I have the means. I just want the freedom to do with my software & hardware as I please.

Edit: I wanted to toss into this that if we want more projects to be viable open source or free software projects, we need to be willing to support the developers. If you have the means, sponsor developers even if it's only some pocket change each month.

You cannot look at the blanket outcome because it's affected by vaccinations in the individual, vaccinations on the societal level, and all Covid measures put in place, how they're enforced and to what degree individuals followed them. What you end up with is a skewed picture. You would need data on group A (Vaccinated healthy and young, living under the same rules, following them about in equal measure) and compare it with the outcomes of group B (Unvaccinated healthy and young, everything else the same).

What's more, it's the height of selfishness to think only of your own risk. Setting aside long Covid (which affects the healthy too), vaccinations reduces the severity of symptoms among everyone, reducing pressure on the health care system.
