I have no idea if this is a valid article, the use of so many anonymous sources made me doubt every word. For all I know they are quoting someone on reddit claiming to work for the cdc. Every quote could have just been made up. It very much just appears to be opinion pretending to be news.

With that said, I do agree with the proposal that if a kid has already had covid then why vaccinate them if the general consensus is that the vaccines only provide limited protection for a few months. All for vaccinating high risk people and I am vaccinated against covid with a booster from when they first came out but will not get another booster now that I have already had Covid. Omicron in general for most people is no worse than the flu, unpleasant but bearable. I fully understand the rush to vaccinate adults in the beginning when Delta was raging and we had limited understanding of the virus. Luckily Omicron is dominant now it seems to be much less damaging. This is not to downplay the very real consequences and deaths that do occur still from Covid. At this point in time my whole family has had it and I have accepted it as endemic and moved on.
I just did a very quick read-through of fednow. It'd be awesome for businesses if they could get their customers to pay via fednow over CC. Just the data requirements alone are less costly (e.g. no PCI DSS requirements for bank accounts).

The problem I think of is getting the customers to use this. If you can entice your customers to consistently use this rail, that's awesome. No idea how you'd do it other than increasing costs to pay via CC. It seems like it also targets digital payments and isn't too focused on in person transactions (e.g. grocery stores).
I’m not sure why you’re being so abrasive.

Well, purportedly BTC is a high-yield investment asset, so paying for things in it instead of regular money, which is purportedly a negative yield (e.g inflation) asset, makes way less financial sense.

Though this does highlight one of the things that's never made sense to me about this entire ecosystem. Something that's a high-yield asset is a terrible currency because you're basically punishing your future self for spending it on mundane stuff.
I see. Maybe some Euler problems? There used to be a good site called rubyquiz.com that had nice exercises that were less math-like, and that (mostly) worked well in multiple languages. Rosetta Code might be another such place. Or just think up your own.

There are two issues as I see it. One is to be able to code something that seems to solve your problem. The other is being able to code with reasonable surety that you haven't committed some subtle error that will bite you if you actually deploy the code. You need deeper fluency for the latter than for the former.
The border being closed is quite a large one, but Japan has done better domestically than almost anyone else with very consistent advice since the start, which is admirable.
I had another job lined up so that was a decent consolation prize, but I've never thought of Google the same way after that.
> but I'd like to point out that MakerDAO is down 70% YTD, Aave is down 60%, Uniswap is down 60%, etc, etc.

The health of the protocols is only very marginally connected to the value of the tokens that govern them. Even if the $UNI token went to zero, the liquidity pools and swap contracts would still work fine. $MKR and $AAVE are a little more complicated because if the governance tokens got too cheap, the protocols could be hijacked and some of the lending parameters could be set to 'broken' values, resulting in liquidations that didn't need to happen. But as of now, the protocols are still working as designed.

If you have an existing mac fleet but are interested in switching to less expensive hardware updating existing systems to this could greatly reduce the conversion costs without needing to support multiple OSes for an extended period of time.
Agreed, though this goes beyond jobs to e.g. side projects also. Rather than "make X so that you can learn language Y," I would "learn language Y so that you can make X," where X is some project uniquely suited to language Y.

There are tools and programming language that are already way ahead of what you are describing. Examples are Idris, F* (F-Star), Dafny etc. They use Dependent Types and/or Refinement Types to make it possible to prove your code correct. There is now proven correct code in the Windows Kernel and other large projects implemented with those tools.
I'm also guessing if she had made that request after it had already gotten millions of views, he'd have then made another video "why I took down my last video" or something to that effect, and disrespected her more. I certainly wouldn't risk Streisand effecting myself.
> regulations or policies that push development away from suburbs and into cities.

I misspoke. By "getting rid of suburbia", I mean getting rid of American-style, car-centric suburban development. You'll absolutely want to have development in the suburbs.

And to do that, you don't need a lot of changes in regulations. Surely, you'll have to fight with NIMBYs, but these changes do not require massive regulations:

- Upzoning all R1 zones, and abolish Euclidian Zone. Just by getting rid of exclusive single-family zones that are so prevalent in the US, and start allowing multi-family townhouses, mixed-use areas, you could recover basically every city that is not part of coastal metro area: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnKIVX968PQ

- Transit-oriented development. City Beautiful has a great video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYsqWIGyRVk
I imagine the frozen pizza industry has had that long figured out, and at scales far larger than they were hoping for.
Pokemon games!! All of the algebra is solved, and you can dig as deeply as you like in any direction you like.

Graphics? Check. And simple, top down, tilesheet or character maps work just fine.

Battles? Check. You can leverage anything from purely functional, object oriented, websocket, long polling, SQL, you name it. Whether you use 3 elemental types or flesh out everything from multiturn, semivulnerable, exp/leveling, it's all up to you.

Wanna just build an REST/GraphQL/gRPC API? Or a UI? PokeAPI is an opensource database of nearly all game data from moves, items, and species.

Pokemon is an endless, any-scope, extremely documented, opensource-rich field of exploration.
I can understand how you can contribute 10 GB of storage and get 10 GB of storage. I can even see how a few people can contribute 10 GB of storage and get 100 GB. I don't get the bit about how everybody can contribute 10 GB and get 100 GB in return. That sounds like cryptocurrency.
Most of the things I've worked on in my professional career have been ultimately useless :(
I tried to learn Thai a few years ago, and people learn the consonants in its alphabet via a mnemonic system (much like the NATO phonetic alphabet), so if you want to spell your name you could use a collection of words like "egg short-a bell long-o chicken" and the other person would immediately understand.

On a perhaps related note, I was once accosted in the street by a Thai tuk tuk driver who wanted to know which football team to bet on ("just ask any white bloke you find" probably isn't the best strategy but I digress). One of the teams was Portsmouth, but I told him unless I knew who was playing I had no idea of the strength of the team. He held up a newspaper written exclusively in Thai, which does not use a roman alphabet or anything like it, and proceeded to read out the names of the players almost perfectly. I'm 99% sure Thai has all of the sounds made in English, but even knowing that it still blows my mind to this day.
Are you a non-native English speaker or do you speak a variety of English other than American English?

I noticed your use of Unicode apostrophes (’), capitalization of "Junior", "to be applied"/"get applied", "a instant", and "through this way", which all sound non-native or not like U.S. English to me. (The apostrophe would be normal in a world processor document but I don't think a U.S. English keyboard layout usually produces it when typing in a form with a web browser.)

I'm wondering about that because I wonder whether it affects either your own or others' perception of your communication when applying for work with Americans.
They’re probably also important and harder to support: things like central storage servers or other services which support a wide range of clients, careful security mapping rules, etc. This is less than a month old so I would not be surprised if the places affected are carefully testing since almost by definition anyone running it has a complicated environment to support.
The one commonality I've seen across virtually all these anti-Western narratives on the Ukraine conflict is that they completely ignore the agency of Ukraine as an independent nation state.

It's never that Ukrainians took to the streets in 2014 because their government was corrupt and undemocratic (literally imprisoning the leader of the opposition party), it's that they took to the streets because the US artificially manufactured dissent.

It's never that Ukraine had an independent desire to increase defense spending after it suffered military humiliation and loss of territory in 2014, it's that the West armed Ukraine to agitate against Russia.

Anything that could be interpreted either as an independent action by Ukraine or a Western intervention is automatically labeled as the latter without any explanation as to why.

The irony, of course, is that the only three things in this story that are unambiguously interventionist are Russia's 2014 invasion, the 'proxy' war between 2014 and 2022, and the 2022 invasion. There is simply no other way to slice it - Ukraine didn't invite foreign troops in to come and start shelling things. That is the elephant in the room that is never brought up in these narratives.

Well, the problem here is the re-use of existing operators.

(That's why it's great that Haskell and other languages in that family allow you to define your own operators, instead of eg re-using bit-shifting for IO.)

Literally all forms of money ever invented are based on faith. Even the importance of debt (which existed before money) is based on faith.

You can't eat gold, you can't grow food with the wasted energy underlying Bitcoin. You need faith that in the long term people will give you something you want in exchange for your monetary tokens, and that the prices of goods will not grow or shrink too quickly so as to make those transactions untenable.

Sovereign nations have several levers to ensure their national currency continues to fulfil these requirements so as to encourage faith in their currency. Magic internet money does not.
Definitely gonna give this a try! Feature request can you make this into a teams integration so that we can all keep tabs on how long every other participant is hogging the meeting. This is a BIG feature request and I am not savvy enough to make a teams integration. Perhaps you can?
The problem with no info on parameters and horrible template errors are related:

The root cause is that template expansion is duck-typed. 'Concepts' are supposed to fix that, I heard.
Where do you get that she is a staunch liberal? I see in Wikipedia this mention

> Writing in The Guardian, Moira Donegan called Weiss a "professional rightwing attention seeker" and disputed her claim that social media's influence had led to a hostile media environment for conservatives.

In addition, her employment history outlined in Wikipedia seem to be filled with fairly conservative outlets or stints (WSJ, Die Welt, NY Times stint cited as an effort to bring in more diverse ideological views). Nothing wrong with that necessarily, just pointing it out as contradictory to the claim that she's a staunch liberal.
You didn’t mention Taiwan / China, which is the biggest issue in my view
I'm worried that having cheap energy most of the time will lead to more disasters like Texas in Feb 2021.

We should focus more on how to avoid long-tail blackouts than how to profit from periods of abundance, particularly as electricity becomes critical for transportation and heating, which have traditionally relied on fuels that are easy to store.
Not a single country with any manufacturing and/or industry [0] to speak of [1], can just casually cut off their main hydrocarbon supplier without major consequences, nor do nuclear reactors replace such resource dependencies.

If Russia stops delivering gas, then ultimately that will translate to a higher German oil demand, as a lot of formerly gas tailored usage will be retooled to oil.

As Russia is sitting on the single largest gas supply on the planet, nearly a quarter of the worlds supply [2]. While with oil there are a few somewhat competitive non-Russian alternatives [3]

So if Russia's resources will continue to be geopolitically taboo, then a lot of Europe will shift back to oil instead of gas.

That's a bit confusing. Lisp has all kinds of datatypes.

But you are right that C++ templates are a bad functional programming language with duck typing.
The lesson learned is there are sizeable overruns to be reaped on Sizewell, too, and not to be passed up.

The world is notably worse for these projects diverting money away from renewables that would have already been displacing carbon emissions for a decade by now.
FedNow will allow instant bank transfers. That means that you can build a payment system on top of it similar to Windcave Account2Account (that we have here in Australia and New Zealand)

Windcave Account2Account is not a full replacement for debit/credit cards. It does not have PayWave (solvable). It has a clunky UX (solvable). It does not do credit transactions (not solvable).

It can be a minor headwind to VISA/Mastercard and slightly reduce their new signups and tx volume, but I cannot see it fully replacing credit/debit cards.
Keep trying things. You can beat this and find out the solution that works for you.
Well, its a very sexy graphics card from Intel.
Or don't reject it but merely ghost them. Or tell them you'll start on a date and don't bother showing up.
You think there’s a 50% gross margin on mining Bitcoin, after the price has fallen heavily, and we’ve entered a global energy crisis?
>we've seen enough people believe some harmful stuff, and sometimes require extra medical attention because of it.

>I'm not saying censorship alone is an answer -- but the marketplace of ideas is not functioning as you describe.

Honestly, neither is curated news. At the time of this poll, 41% of people who identified as Democrats believe that if someone caught covid, their chance of hospitalization was 50% or higher. The actual number is 1-5%. Massive amounts of Republicans and Independents also believed this as well. You assume a fair, pure and incorruptible curator, which doesn't exist. Censorship isn't the answer.

While other treat bitcoin as an investment, I treat it as a way to send money without getting censored and without supporting PayPal and VISA/MasterCard. It’s an idealistic thing (which is probably the reason why I only pay products worth 100-200$/month in BTC. I obviously don’t pay my rent, my car etc in BTC).
For me it’s just an alternative to cash, which I also use for smaller purchases — cash is „gelebte Freiheit“.

Honestly, I’d also prefer to use GNU Taler instead of bitcoin, but unfortunately GNU Taler never gained any traction.
I just read the study, that's not what it says. The minimum risk seems to be 1-5g per day for young people, not 0.
The current Seattle district attorney had been just 6 months at her job. Do you think it's reasonable to revert the effect of the previous 12 years in such a time frame?

The stylesheet forces small font sizes for the body text. I don't see why I should have to spend my time doing client-side styling to override the braindead choices of a site designer.
Do you mind me asking what you were like before?

I’ve had generalised anxiety disorder for ~12 years and have kept it manageable using some of the techniques you’ve described (breathing and meditation being the main two) however this year has brought some challenges that has really ramped it up and is now causing major issues that I’m struggling to manage.

My doctor was happy to prescribe some for me, but I’m scared as hell about starting them. Side affects aside, getting off them sounds like it can be a nightmare.
Maybe it's good for public places like cafes and offices?
If you understand how bitcoin works, you shouldn’t really worry. You can easily get rid of tainted coins.
Not sure how you’re hosting the site but the best way to fix this would be to have your web server automatically redirect incoming http traffic to https. Then it doesn’t matter if the link is http or https :)
Show me the IRL crypto party that rivals Art Basel.

Speculation is one part of the art market, but at this point I really don’t think it’s as important as status. Plus, some of the art is really good as, you know, Art.
Of course I can zoom. I had to zoom to 150% to make the page readable. But I shouldn't have to. This kind of content has no reason to force any particular font size.

Don't live in Seattle, but my friends who do live there joke that someday the people moving there from NYC and complaining about the city they just moved to will figure out that the airlines fly routes in both directions.

London is #2 in your list, and barely any of it qualifies by your definition. You won't find 24 hour services in most parts of London. You will find a downtown with a 24 hour pharmacy and a couple 24 hour drive thrus in my small town outside Seattle (and no 24 hour drive thrus or delivery within city limits).

You've got a very cosmopolitan view of what the world is. You should consider changing that.
How did you find the first month? I’m terrified of starting as I’ve read that the side effects can render you unable to do anything for weeks.
I'll never forget the kindness a stranger showed me at Logan airport the day before Thanksgiving. I was already cutting it kind of close to departure time and my boyfriend had gone ahead to board so I figured I had just enough time to duck into one of the shops to get a bottle of water for the flight. It wasn't until the clerk rang me up that I realized my wallet was in the bag my boyfriend had taken onto the plane for me! A remember frantically digging around in my purse for loose change (talk about desperation!) and even though I can usually bank on my purse having plenty of change floating around at the bottom airport water is expensive AF! I don't know why I didn't just walk away, panic of the moment, I guess? But finally a lovely woman behind me saved me from my desperate coin hunting when she stuck her arm out next to me with $5 in her hand and said "Happy Thanksgiving!" The awkwardness of not being able to pay was pretty uncomfortable but she really, truly, made my day!
Is everyone who is using cash also evading authorities?
Unfortunately most internet companies don’t accept cash, therefore I’m trying to use something which gets as close as possible to cash in regard to its privacy aspects.
I just don’t want to use shitty paypal which locks money of vendors for 180 days, or mastercard who randomly allege companies of child porn without providing any evidence (see pornhub).

I don’t like these companies and will try to not use them at all. Yes, I’m paying a price for it, but imo it’s worth it.
I have read many papers, including McCarthy's, on Lisp. This one clarified things for me, which I found confusing in most of the others. Perhaps, because I've never been proficient with math and having code with step by step explanations is easier for me to follow.

Obviously, tinyLisp is a pedagogical exercise and not an environment for use in production. There are many Common Lisp and Scheme implementations that are suitable for production systems.
Something I can't work out is list dot operators. Can someone point me to information on this? I did look, but I suspect I'm bad at searching... any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
We closed schools to keep the bars open. I'll never quite understand it.
This is from the 2020 IAEA world's uranium resources report [0];

"Meeting high case demand requirements through 2040 would consume about 28% of the total 2019 identified resource base recoverable at a cost of < USD 130/kgU (USD 50/lb U3O8) and 87% of identified resources available at a cost of < USD 80/kgU (equivalent USD 30/lb U3O8)."

Apply some exponential growth to that, and those allegedly 10.000 years would actually end up looking more like not even 50 years.

If your browser ignores CSS stylesheets, it's going to have a hard time getting much traction.

I suppose I could spend time crafting site-specific stylesheets for all the sites that insist, for no good reason, on having CSS that makes them unreadable, and then tell my browser to use my custom stylesheet to override the one the site specified. But why would a site designer force me to do this? For content that shouldn't care about things like font sizes anyway?
It would be obviously stupid to build storage that there is not enough renewable power to charge up from, yet. So, its not having been built yet only proves money is better spent on generating capacity.
I feel like you're trying to add something to it that's not there. I never claimed that everything is fake that is out there, only that I assume it is until verified later. I don't consume social media, and the only time I see stuff is when people directly link to it. However, my personal position is that if it is coming out on social media first, in my mind it absolutely 100% gets flagged as potentially fake/needs verification. And if you think the Ukraine content isn't being PR managed by either side, then I think maybe you're their target audience.
The Bunch API could easily include a function that takes a bunch and a function `t -> ()` that deallocates individual members, so that the logic is encapsulated in a function. You have to pass the destructor function explicitly because the language doesn't know which function is the "canonical" destructor (and a type may have multiple destructors, i.e. multiple ways to end its lifecycle).
So one of the most powerful features of emacs is everything being implemented in lisp so everything can be tweaked, edited, replaced, etc. This kind of flexibility is amazing for my text editor because every 3rd party package I install can change ANY aspect of emacs, giving them the same power that the official emacs code has. I'm not so sure I want that kind of flexibility in the software that handles my passwords, my banking details, my private communications, and my pornography.
