The vaccine isn't evidence-based science because it is experimental. You are part of a group of people who decided to take part and provide data. In 2024 when the first long term studies are due evidence-based medicine will begin. It is crazy you are unaware of this. Weren't you required to sign a form acknowledging these facts and allowing the government to become the custodial holder of these records?

On average the people not taking the vaccine are more tuned in, have more raw facts available and have made a serious decision by weighting the facts. Thinking that this group must be getting information from Dr Oz or some other political figure you are against and blinding following is shallow reasoning. They are not the part of society who would blindly follow what they heard on the news or what a popular figure thinks or what society thinks.
This is just lip service that India's courts keep giving in what I think is a polite way of squashing such cases. Most of India, in reality, couldn't care less about entertainment piracy and would rather encourage it.

Most of the members of the French Resistance during the Second World War were communists, so the communist party had a certain cache as being freedom fighters in postwar France. Not only that but communists were at the forefront of the early union movements in most countries, as well as the fights for racial justice, womens rights and so on. So communism had a very different reputation.

What the heck IS w3schools? i.e who is behind it, where did it come from, where is it going?

It's always there and seemingly always BEEN there, and it always comes up in my search results and indeed I often use it and the info seems pretty good.

But apart from that, how can something so well used basically fly under the radar?
It's almost like America hasn't spent trillions doing the same job over the same time period.
Torts (+ Coase Theorem) is the ancapistan catch-all solution but it doesn't work in practice because the frictions (e.g legal fees, time, access) prevent small everyday externalities from being reasonably addressable.

I've seen a small time civil case pertaining to a dispute totalling sub-$50k drag out for 10 years and cost more than the damages. It doesn't work empirically for everyday disputes because it puts the onus and burden onto the small time victim, which is net unprofitable given all the frictions, leading to persistence of externalities.

You also don't solve the root problem of corruption by moving to a torts only system. Torts as a solution would rely on property laws that are themselves free of moneyed corruption. It also would rely on a judiciary that can't be bought. So it's shifting the same problem we have now (corporatocracy and entrenched interests) to a stunted and less competent system of enforcement.

"My point is that administrative law has failed."

It hasn't failed. For example, look at leaded petrol, nitrogen oxides, smoking and the ozone layer. It's just highly imperfect and needs to be improved.
I get that about Brasilia, but I don't see the discomfort in this one. Those chairs look pretty comfortable to me, and I like the colors.

Edit: Perhaps the more obvious answer is that it's an office/professional building, and you're not supposed to fall asleep in the chairs (although I think I could swing it).
So, really, it was discussed, as indicated since you and they heard of the discussion. It is indeed quite simple to discuss even, since the conversation should end with learning that this is covered in high-school stats class.

What is more ironic to me is that this is the total deaths number, without any regards to cause. And in a large population of 40k healthy individuals, is is expected for a few to unexpectedly die over 6 months. This is ironic, since skeptics also often seem to claim that 10-50% excess all-causes death in the population was just random noise.
That is unusual and I wish more companies would just offer that from the start.
The problem (or perceived, I guess) with yosys is that it is not production safe. It does still, from time to time, produce catastrophic synthesis errors. If you're going for tapeout, a synthesis issue due can cost millions in wasted parts, and so most in industry are willing to pay the astronomical costs of whatever synthesis tools of choice because they are significantly less than the cost of an error. For FPGA stuff though? Yeah, yosys all the way--I'm willing to forgive the worse optimization for it being FOSS :)
I thought the retail margin was related to (essentially) how much floor space your product takes and how often it is stolen. High-end electronics should be less than 50%. I certainly doubt that a flagship smartphone has 50% retail margin, for example.

You can find native speakers to practice with for reasonable hourly rates.
From personal experience, hiring someone to practice with is a practical compromise and more convenient than burdening friends who speak the desired language. Even the best of friends will be tested on their own patience. Like going to gym and hiring a trainer, there is good accountability and feedback.

The drop in real content is astounding. It used to be the case that I’d never ever come close to the end of the content from people I actually follow when I checked Instagram, and 5-6 years ago I interacted with the app daily. (Note: I deleted my FB account 7 years ago but kept insta).

Now I’m in my early thirties and I maybe open it two or three times a week — I hit the “you’ve run out of content from your friends” message in less than five minutes (and I follow ~400 people). It’s even worse because half of that five minutes is spent scrolling past the INSANE number of ads and suggested posts (most of which are terrible ads as well).

My friends are still actively posting “stories,” but I can’t imagine that will last forever (stories are also littered with ads, it’s insane).

Facebook has been out of ideas for a while, but it wasn’t so apparent until recently since they faced relatively soft competition, and they either acquired popular social media start ups or if they couldn’t, stole from them wholesale (snapchat). They now have a real competitor in TikTok and on the last earnings call it became clear they have no plan for regaining users / organic engagement, so they’ve decided to pump the short term financials by serving everyone a shit load of ads. Facebook’s long term prospects are bleak imo.
This vastly underestimates the esoteric nature, experiential knowledge and complexity required to review most research published in the scientific community. The common public cannot be expected to provide non-populist capable review of pharmaceutical level research
Diablo is dead, the people that know how to make Diablo games left a long time ago.

They can't even remaster Diablo 2 without fucking it up. You can't even play single player offline without signing into a "Blizzard account" that fucks up and won't update and has to be reinstalled and then maybe, if you're lucky, they might let you play the game you paid for.

I bought that for my wife after quite some discussion of what a pile of shit Blizzard is.

After that experience, I can't imagine giving them any money for "Diablo" 4, especially considering how much I failed to enjoy "Diablo" 3 (which I bought on Playstation since once again, the computer version doesn't work offline).

I prefer to spend money on Dark Souls now, it has that melancholy feeling that Diablo 1 had, and that sense of danger, that dark atmosphere.
the motivation is either good or bad, and that matters a lot.

this isn't a door which can be pushed from one side or pulled from the other to achieve the same result. motivation and the reasons you are doing something matter. a lot.

> Military aircraft have controls on their dashboards for turning individual systems off as required. Turning off ADS-B would be the first thing on the checklist for sensitive flights, and one of the things that are turned on purposefully when entering friendly airspace.

Yeah, of course, but that doesn't mean there still isn't an issue. If you read the article, you'd see that it was talking about stuff like military aircraft having their transponders on in friendly airspace over countries like Germany.

Phoenix, Arizona? That's the first one that came to mind, but I'm sure there's others.

Besides, that's not why DC is where it is. Our early leaders, for better or worse, thought it was best for it to be an independent district. Making NYC (or any other predeveloped city) into an independent entity is much harder than just creating a new one.

This isn't complete without mentioning that there is a HUGE percentage share of SEC fines, if successful, for whistleblower. Individuals have made off 10 figure payments off public money in the past through the program.
I don't think OP knows what he is talking about? You also need "thousands" of accounts, and unless you are opening these remotely, I don't know how you can get this many people to co-operate with your scheme. That also doesn't cover the first part: Laundering the money into the bank. (if the money is already in the banking system, there is nothing to launder).

To be honest, I don't think money laundering is real, or significant. I see most money laundering rules as hidden or mislabeled sanctions on other countries, group of individuals or institutions.

def interesting to learn about industries that I'm not in. thanks for sharing
It's impossible to set a definite standard for when a social media site or other website has become so crucial to the public square that it is set apart from general services.

You could use a multi-prong test like they do for determining whether an entity constitutes a monopoly.

Or you could use the old Justice Stewart's test for obscenity..."I know it when I see it."

But given what we've learned of late about the government influencing social media sites to censor citizens on their platforms, I don't think there's a legitimate argument that certain social media sites are not different from the general internet.

On this site many people can read scientific studies. Having a medical degree means you can apply to practice medicine for money. Forming opinions based on fact never required one.
This is a very great analysis— props to you for sharing. I’ve also seen a similar plugin under development for Wordpress. Imagine instant images for your blog posts!

The one thing that isn’t factored into cost calculations is the user’s time and multiple requests due to poor output. I think the cost of each image is much higher when you add in the time value of the human labor needed to generate / filter results. This will of course continue to decrease.
Remarkably even handed discussion; I do, perhaps, think the author might have supported their argument with more convincing examples from Tolkien's corpus.

IBM choose the Intel 8088 over the 68000 for the IBM PC, which was more popular than IBM expected. Since the IBM PC was heavily documented (you could get not only schematics, but BIOS listings for it), it was easy (if you were careful) to clone and with Microsoft underselling the other operating systems for it, it because very popular. This caused Intel to push billions into making their chips faster and expand into 32 bits. Unix workstations, which mostly started out on the 68000, typically switched to RISC architectures as Motorola couldn't keep up speed wise (it didn't have the budget that Intel did due to the Wintel duopoly, and Motorola had other concerns than just chip design).

And I don't see how one could expand the 68k into a 64-bit design, but that was still a few years down the road by the time the 68k was in decline (sad to see, I was a fan of the 68k architecture).
A commenter on the thread mentioned the VMWare price hikes, so it could be as simple as IBM sensing an opportunity to poach customers from VMWare (probably more overlap in potential customers than AWS/GCP/Azure) and aggressively selling OpenShift to the C-suite with a promise of "if we can get a deal done this year, we'll give you heavily discounted pricing for X years".

It does seem a bit strange that all of these requests supposedly come specifically "from the CEO" though, as I would expect most companies would have CTOs making purchase decisions like this.
This is an ominous trend for the average software developer. Increased supply will lead to depressed wages.

There's nothing wrong with it, per se, but surely if you're at all a proponent of a market economy for the typical reasons, you would like to see prices as close as possible to marginal cost.
The UK too. When I was growing up Kevin or “Kev” was a (very classist) derogatory term, though it seems to have subsided. Roughly equivalent to “chav” I guess.

(Unlike the French or German versions, I don't believe this is about the importation of names from other places, though it could at least be partially rooted in anti-Irish prejudice)

yeah, that's the story of MD in general. Sony the record company was terrified of the implications of bit-perfect digital copies with no generational loss, so they made sony the electronics division gimp it in tons of random ways and made the user experience confusing and awful, and then got their lunch eaten by CDs/ripping (lossless and otherwise) and itunes anyway. DVDs and HDDs won for storage and the ipod and then iphone won for portability/convenience.

It's also always struck me as one of those products that was primarily made for the japanese market and they didn't really care as much about the rest of the world, it was a walkman 2.0 thing for japan since they fucking love walkman.
> Note that signing commits doesn't bar bad actors from pushing unsigned commits with forged identities.

This would need to be coupled with a "reject unsigned commits" policy on push. For example - https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/repository/push_rule...

And note that the caveats that it has would require the person to log in to gitlab to not need to push (by using the webIDE instead) which leaves an audit trail there.

Similar functionality can be crafted with a pre-receive commit hook - https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-server@3.2/admin/polic...

An example of such a hook - https://github.com/github/platform-samples/blob/master/pre-r...
really? Thats the complete opposite of my vision
This is a great example of the illusion of explanatory depth [1]

You read the title and think "D'oh obviously traction", then you see the first picture in the article and think "Yep, obviously flatter tyres because traction", then you read a little more and think "Wait, what do they mean by flat?", ...

... and then it just keeps going deeper and deeper into this rabbit hole you never considered before and barely even noticed. You realize you didn't know shit.

The explanation ends up being steering feedback forces. Now I wonder if we can have deeper wheels again with modern electric motor power steering.

> There’s nothing wrong with this. These are standard ratios, not some dirty secret.

Nowhere in the original post is the word “dirty” or any implication that there’s anything wrong with the ratios. The OP qualifies their post with:

> None of this is actually secret (it would be common knowledge for anyone employed in the industry) but isn't well-known outside of it. This audience has a lot of professionals in it so a lot of this might not be news to you.

And after going into many things that factor into the retail price concludes with:

> In that sense, a 3:1 retail to COGS price is arguably very fair or even low, especially for firms that do any R&D at all. I personally wouldn't say something is overpriced until you hit 10:1 or more.

The quotes around “secret” are there in the first place to imply these aren’t actually secrets, much less dirty secrets.

I disagree, the discs in that building looks incredible to me? I love the curved spaces, the variety in shape and light, the canted walls, the colors. It's dated now, for sure, but it has a very retro futurist vibe I dig.

I was obsessed with these rankings while applying for and going to college. Obsessed. But now that I'm in the real world, I can't help but think they're a load of bull.

What I've found is that everyone basically is an individual person and the quality of the school's education can only get them as far as they specifically want to go. But that being said, certain schools do seem to produce higher numbers of memorably smart people than others. For instance, I have run into a number of very smart people in my short career that went to University of Waterloo. So that's pretty much the only signal I can really get from where you went to school. Otherwise your school, and its "ranking" in these ridiculous contests says approximately nothing to me.

> The drop in fertility is, horribly so, blindingly obvious. In country after country, 9 months after mRNA injections rollout for young people we are seeing a striking drop in births.

The US birth rate continues to climb after the introduction of vaccines, for the first time in decades.

I have yet to see a chart that shows a decline that wasn’t painfully manipulate to hide the fact it declined much less after vaccinations than it had in the decade leading up to it. Though I have only seen articles for a handful of countries.
My first thought it that in the US universities are largely private institutions so the constitution isn’t relevant - you’re looking at legislation like title 9.

The next thing to ask is how do you rectify decades of explicit discrimination against a variety of groups, and then the subsequent less overt discrimination following the passage of the CRA?

Given that every piece of evidence shows bias in people from X recommending and/or hiring from X and X adjacent universities and facilities - including getting into labs at other universities if you’re looking at some form of postgrad - how do you compensate for unintentional biases? Eg someone isn’t intentionally racist but they prefer recommendations from people they went to school with, and none of them work at/with HBCUs.

Universities with hereditary enrollment are inherently racist, as many explicitly did not allow black Americans to be students until relatively recently, and even when the CRA passed continued a variety of explicitly discriminatory policies. The result of which is that the hereditary enrollments have a huge bias against PoC.

I am not saying diversity statements are what has to happen - I think such are largely puffery that is easier than working out how to actually fix things - just that the problem is not trivial, and the seeming alternative people propose is simply to say “just keep doing what we are doing now” as we aren’t being explicitly biased anymore, which is actively harmful BS.
in order to figure out what this article is saying, I have to learn a lot of terms, and I don't think it's going to be that astonishing or "aha!" so it doesn't seem worth it. The positive scrub ratio measured along the kingpin axis from the kingpin center... if only I knew what a deep dish wheel was as opposed to a flat wheel...
Other than libc I'm not sure what else would "almost always" be linked. It's going to depend on the language, but for Go/Rust at least static linking is pretty much the default, and lots of people even link to musl.

For other languages I'd say openssl is probably the next most common.
