Thanks for the correction.

> The Ontario page does not show the death rate.

Doesn't it? I see a graph titled "Deaths involving COVID-19 by vaccination status". And that still shows higher deaths/100k in the "Not fully vaccinated" group for every given adult age range: 18-39, 40-59, and 60+ (look at the All time data).

> here is a second set of data from Walgreens. Look at the third page.

That shows the positivity rate. I'm not talking about the positivity rate. We're beyond that now. Everyone will get Covid someday. The vaccine protects you from dying or having serious health issues. There's no vaccine, for any disease, that can prevent you from contracting the disease. That would require vaccines to create force fields around your body, which are science fiction. In the case of the most efficacious vaccines, your immune system will be so well-prepared that your body will fight off the infection without you ever getting any symptoms.
The problem IS that they have found nothing. We know the Standard Model, as good as it is, is either incomplete or incorrect and without new physics somewhere we have no indication of how to fix it.
I think you’re blindly applying standard process to an exceptional situation. In politics, anything is possible, it depends solely on the circumstances and incentives involved.

If England make it impractical for Scotland to adopt the pound, then the EU will welcome them with open arms into the euro. That’s just how the world works, states act in their own interests and rules bend as and when needed (as rules on euro membership have frequently been bent in the past).

> I've clicker trained my cats to sit and also to follow my finger.

Dogs are so invested in human approval that even abuse can be an effective training 'method' much of the time. As you likely know, before scientific training methods started gaining popularity, this was the predominant tradition for training dogs. And in an anthropocentric way and from a position of utter ignorance, that somehow became the cultural standard. If you can't yell at or pinch or shove an animal and still have it be interested in pleasing you, it's 'not intelligent'.

It's absolutely absurd. It's not fair to dogs or to other animals, and erases the massive, fundamental similarity in the way dogs, cats, and other creatures of all kinds actually learn. All because humans struggle to separate the notion of intelligence from being interested in or useful to ourselves.
On the contrary, I’d challenge anyone to find a non-contrived example of a crash that is unavoidable with 10 seconds of warning. Driving off a 1600 foot cliff does not count.
I agree. I also want to note that Tesla has treated this subject like an opportunity to market and really done nothing to deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Have you heard of this thing called a CPU? The ones Apple puts in its machines have gotten much faster since 2015. All kidding aside, you have a CPU from the nadir of Intel's slow march into irrelevance. I went from a 2013 Air to an M1.

It wasn't the software.
I used to use a scythe. It got a lot of thumbs up and such from passers-by. It's a pretty fun way to cut the grass; if you sharpen the blade nicely it's surprisingly effective. I used to use it in combo with a push mower, they're good on that super long grass that your push mower can't get through.

Nowadays I've succumbed to laziness and convention and use an electric trimmer and mower, but the scythe still comes out once in a while for kicks.
I’m a very well off millennial. My fiancé and I both have high paying tech jobs. We easily make the income of multiple families.

That being said we are strained to buy a 3-bedroom house like that of my single Mother who only has a high school education to her name.

Given our success, we don’t have the “burn it all down” mentality but I fear it building in many of my friends and totally understand the sentiment of this being a #1 problem for younger generations.

Now maybe you don't like Dodd Frank, or maybe you don't think it goes far enough. But anyone who was paying attention to politics can easily list off the laws and changes we did to our economy to try to fix the identified problem.

We _tried_ to fix it. No way to know if we really fixed it until our next crisis. But I can always point to what our President did (both George Bush _AND_ Obama handled this mess, with the same plan btw), as well as Congress's laws.

The very phrase "Too big too fail" exists because of the outstanding effort this country put into identifying the problem, and discussing possible solutions. You're literally using the language of Congress whenever you use those words.

--------

USA isn't perfect. And Republicans / Democrats have different ideas of what "would fix" the problem. But what I can say with 100% certainty, is that George Bush + Obama acted in similar manners through the crisis, suggesting that the two grossly different ideologies came to similar conclusions about what would solve the issue.

EDIT: There are also multiple days / weeks worth of Congressional hearings on this subject, proving that Congress was discussing solutions for a long time.

One thing to notice is that during the experiments they keep only a small percentage of the total data they could record due to limitations in storage and processing capabilities. There’s a lot of fuss inside the scientific community about what to keep and what to disregard.
FTA: “Sotiriou and Li developed a SERS nanosensor equipped with a flame spray that can fire silver nanoparticles across even large targeted areas. The researchers suggest that absorption signals from chemicals that are to be identified can be better detected on the surfaces of metals like gold, silver, and copper. Copper, in particular, could be a cost-effective material to be used for this type of sensor.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial_properties_of_co...:

“Copper and its alloys (brasses, bronzes, cupronickel, copper-nickel-zinc, and others) are natural antimicrobial materials”

This is fundamentally wrong. We know the Standard Model is not the final theory of Physics so there are still things to discover.

I have two dogs. They have "Sophia Grace and Rosie" energy. I don't know if you remember these two precocious British girls who were frequent guests on Ellen DeGeneres's program on the USA, and they would talk and rap Nicki Minaj songs. But one of them, Sophia Grace, was super energetic and outgoing and the other one, Rosie, would just hang back and act cute. And that's how my dogs are. They are as close as any sisters despite being unrelated and of different breeds, but one takes the lead and the other is content to follow (or just have a nap in her safe, easily defensible corner).

Well spoken.
From the article:

... enjoyed a 65% market share as recently as January 2009. But its share began to steadily slide in the late 2000s, ... The demise of Internet Explorer coincided with Chrome's rapid rise. Launched in 2008...

there is a firefox-shaped hole in this story. Between 2000 and 2009, IE had moments where it was above 90%. The demise coincided with firefox's rapid rise. Chrome was a good browser, but it came a few years later.

In fact, IE stopped evolving after winning the browser war against Netscape, with version 6. Presumably, Microsoft wanted to block a future where windows desktops were irrelevant. This allowed firefox to raise from the mozilla-grave and provide a convincingly superior alternative, while Microsoft was asleep at the wheel.

See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers where e.g. thecounter peaks IE in 2004Q2 with 95% . Other graphs and numbers on that page also point to the period of 2002-2004 as the point where IE started declining.
OpenBSD has sysmerge (https://man.openbsd.org/sysmerge), Debian's dpkg will also prompt to accept/reject changes; this probably would be the ideal solution, but macOS doesn't give you an opportunity to implement such a scheme, since an upgrade just overwrites all user changes unconditionally.

Patches are harder to use than plain files, since you need to maintain a source and a destination to diff against, and applying them can occasionally fail, requiring the user to resolve.

I think overriding configuration in /etc is one of those cases where the user's intent is very clearly "I know what I'm doing, please get out of my way", and other unices are built to respect that. macOS assumes it's the other way around, and ends up doing crazy stuff like overwriting "PasswordAuthentication" to "yes" in sshd_config on every upgrade.

Running rsync to just overwrite the configuration is probably too simplistic. Maybe the tool could detect that a file was overwritten by an upgrade, and make a backup (sshd_config.upgrade, and so on).

I think I'm just going to write it now.
Jumping spiders are very smart. I follow a small youtuber who breeds them and let some free roam. They are trained to perform little "high-fives" with their front leg when he puts his finger in front of them.

They are a spider with very good eyesight. That allows them to interact with us way easier than other spiders and insects.

There are a few living on the outside wall of my building and sometimes they get get stuck in my sinks. They appear to have a good memory, at first they would avoid my hand now they seem to expect that I will be there to get them out and jump on me almost immediately.

I have heard they make great pets, the only issue is their short lifespan means you will need to let them breed if you want to keep them for a long time.
At least you have a partner. If you're on your own you're absolutely fucked. Not only are you alone but everyone else is out to get you. When we have the crunch in the near future I could see me and my peers torching things.

I don't even worry about this anymore; I look forward to it.

I would be surprised if you were legally allowed to go and modify assets before the will is executed.

I know when my partner died that I was not supposed to log in to her accounts and just transfer shit around; banks instead have very well defined processes for working out who is the legally correct person to do that and then empowering them to do so.

Remember, banks and other big companies deal with this all the time. They necessarily must have robust processes for doing it with the existing societal/legal systems of establishing who is the ‘right person’.
I appreciate the brevity of the site but it leaves a little to be desired. They should have a footer section that explains each option and what major versions of kernel support them, or at least a text link to the latest kernel command line arguments. [1]

You're talking about the Kingdom of Great Britain, a political entity. The island itself has been called Great Britain for a very long time.

Great Britain: the island that contains the countries of England, Scotland, and Wales (throw in Cornwall as a separate country if you're of a mind, I'm fine with that).

Less Britain: an old name for Brittany in what is now France. The native language there is Breton, a Celtic language related to Welsh.

England: One country within Great Britain.

United Kingdom: The countries of Great Britain, plus Northern Ireland, plus some of the surrounding islands -- but not all! Ireland (excluding Northern Ireland) is obviously not part of the United Kingdom, nor are the Channel Islands (in some of which Queen Elizabeth is the Duke of Normandy, rather than the Queen per se), nor numerous others.

The British Isles: Great Britain, Ireland, and all of the surrounding islands. This is a geographic designation, not a political one, as there is no unitary government.

Yes, it's confusing.
This is so obscure.

The point is that fingerprints may not mean the administrator of the device is present, in the same way that a password that cannot be changed also may not mean the administrator of the device has authorized an action.

If a credential cannot be changed then its confidence as an identifier is significantly reduced.

Fingerprints are useful in cases where the effort of copying a fingerprint is greater than the value of the target. They're great for almost everyone with low value systems, like your average easily pickable front door lock. They're good for keeping honest people honest.

Fingerprints are a problem for high value systems.

Fingerprints are also certainly a shared secret identifier, and we typically call shared secret identifiers "passwords" even when they aren't literally a typed word.
i'll counter your anecdotal data point with mine, my m1 stayed alive in sleep for 3 weeks while i was on holiday and had hours of battery life left when i opened it up.

There are however serious uses for very cheap sensors with brains, for example in food boxes to check that none of the packages was exposed to critical temperature unintentionally, or even prevent frauds in those places where they relabel expired food as fresh: a small chip that senses everything including air pressure besides carrying the manufacturing date and duration information,could also signal that the contents are non edible as soon as it detects that the vacuum bag has been tampered with.
It's more capable. Autopilot can basically do 100% of highway driving from on ramp to off ramp. It can switch lanes, and it can also take an exit from one highway to another highway.

Either way, without data about how often people use each driver assist feature, it's not scientifically rigorous to assume that each system is used exactly in the same proportion. The NHTSA should have made this caveat very clear, and should have released data from Tesla about crashes per miles driven if it's available (even if it's not available for other automakers).
This is definitely useful but why are we still using instance variables in Views vs parameters? Missing instance variables don’t throw errors so they are easy to miss.
So are artists all idiots? Storyboards usually don't start with a full script. They start with sketches. Architectural designs start with sketches. Mathematical theorems start with tinkering with equations and notes. Are these people all idiots?

Different professions have different methods of "sketching" out ideas. Just because writing is the de facto method of sketching out an idea in the business world, doesn't mean it's the right fit for every profession ever. Most programmers I know feel like writing exploratory code is a form of sketching an idea. I have nothing against writing out your thought process, but it's not desirable or useful in every scenario for writing a program.

I was working on some low level multiplayer code about 6 months ago. I spent around 2 and a half weeks researching other methods. Then I spent another week drawing out designs. I was paralyzed because I didn't know what I didn't know. I finally got around to writing the stupidest code, and in 3 days I had an MVP. Yes, this is anecdotal. But I've been paralyzed by design too many times in the past. I would much rather write a rough draft of my code that works, learn a bunch in the process. Then edit it and refine it.

Why does writing English have to be the only way to explore a problem? Why is it so difficult to imagine that writing exploratory code is similar to writing a rough draft of a paper?

Finally, do research papers get written before they go through the process? No. They do the research, they experiment, then they document the results. I guess these darn researchers are all idiots that didn't realize writing an essay will tell them way more about their research than actual experimentation.

Huh? Social status is relative, that is, defined by some kind of difference in a characteristic over which there is some competition (like wealth, looks, connections, fame, etc.). So how do you get that rich kid status without reference to material abundance?

Remember, most people are comparatively poor: the wealth histogram is heavily skewed toward zero and with a wide tail toward infinity.

It's impossible for everyone to be relatively wealthy and relatively high status. It is possible for everyone to have absolute wealth (or at least income) beyond a fixed absolute level, yet still widely disparate status.
Pretty sure you could not, and your confidence is terrifying.
I visited the UK recently, and I was quite impressed by the accessibility of their banknotes compared to the US ones:

* braille on the notes

* different colors for different denominations

* different sizing for different denominations

The UK notes are far more accessible to the blind and the illiterate, and it becomes basically impossible to accidentally include a £100 note in a stack of £5s.

They also have holographic printing like the US notes, but theirs are full images embedded in transparent windows.

I know that it would be basically impossible for us to do likewise (our currency is designed to be backwards compatible, and the vending industry would probably throw a fit if you changed the size of the bill on them), but one can wish.
Me or the article? No need to go on the attack btw, I was pointing out the privilege / falsehood rooted in saying young folks don't need healthcare.

I stand by my statement, healthcare is much easier to solve (we have examples of places doing it right). AND we can try to tackle both.
From a pure pro-ocaml perspective I don't really appreciate rescript per se. But it truly does seemed to have raised awareness of the language among web devs who otherwise don't have a reason to worry about much outside of js/ts. The timing is also good because typescript has directly shown devs the value of types, and taught them enough about them to understand what ocaml is really offering above ts-style static type checking.

That's my impression from my last two typescript jobs, anyway. I don't know what, if anything, will come out of this, but I can't see it being bad.
In retrospect it was at least arguably the right call, no? Suspend most research and resume when available processing power was orders of magnitude greater, a process that was independently driven by demands other than (and much greater than) AI research.

Playing devil's advocate only slightly, maybe particle physics should similarly pare down to a bare maintenance level of research (or even mostly teaching) for a few centuries until we can harness much higher energies.
Fun fact about "Harvest Moon": the western publisher lost the contract to localize the original series, but still commissions new games under the same name. Remakes of the original series are localized by a different publisher under the name "Story of Seasons". It's a little bit like the Guitar Hero vs. Rock Band saga.
Thanks. I actually tried to put a lot of thought into the naming of this. For me, "When I'm gone" sounded too much like I was contemplating suicide. Also, I do hope that we will eventually outgrow the mess of passwords and usernames that the web is built on now.
The TurboExpress was really ahead of its time. In the same era when Nintendo and Sega had portable consoles that played smaller, less detailed games built just for their portable systems, NEC's handheld could play the same full-sized games as its home console. And anecdotally, it wasn't much more of a battery eater than the Game Gear.

It looks like a great ruling for increasing the wealth of current homeowners. By only restricting the purpose of new housing, you will increase demand and by extension, increase prices of the existing homes.

Basically, it seems to be a great scheme for resident to have a new home built at little cost by reselling their existing older home at an increased value.
