UK contractors take home less now than they did 5 years ago due to taxation changes (IR35).

It's a bit more complicated than that. The tax rules themselves haven't actually changed. What did change was who was responsible for deciding whether an engagement was caught by IR35 or not and was also liable to pay for the big tax shortfall if they were later found to have made the wrong decision.

It used to be the contractor themselves who determined the status. Now it depends on the situation but in many cases it will be the client. That has swung the needle from determinations often being too optimistic (some contractors claimed to be outside when they really weren't and hoped to get away with paying less tax than they should) to too pessimistic (risk-averse big clients aren't always assessing engagements properly and instead set blanket policies that put everyone inside even when they shouldn't be).

Neither situation is good for the contracting market and neither is what the tax rules say should happen. Both are the fault of successive governments for using such ambiguous rules about such an important tax question and making such poor provision for honest participants who want to get on with the job to know they're safe and doing the right thing as far as their tax obligations are concerned.

For genuine contractors who are working with decent clients and obviously aren't disguised employees the rules haven't changed and neither have the tax obligations.

But yes there are some clients who just throw everything inside IR35 as policy and also want to keep the same headline rates as before. Contractors working with those clients will have taken quite a hit. The solution is not to work with bad clients who try to dump their obligations on you!
I understand the temptation from the company's perspective to not provide support but from a user perspective I hate how modern services treat clients.

I love this work on a general ledger for electronic rights management!

A bit off-topic, but do you think this kind of rights management ledger is better stored and accessed in traditional data stores and managed by either a government entity or a private-public partnership of some sorts?

It seems like self-signed authentication would still be viable but with the added bonus of a mechanism for dealing with lost private keys while at the same time allowing for individual entities to quickly and effortlessly exchange ownership.
I don't understand the reason for that. Somehow it is OK to do business with Cuba which are not threatening anyone but not with Russia that is killing people en masse?

More anecdotally there really seems to be a problem with many 'shoulds' involved in childhood care.

I have a good friend who was given contradictory instructions by health care professionals while they were still at the hospital with their child which developed into a situation where 'professionals' were chastising the parents for following instructions correctly.

This is a real bind for parents who don't have easy access to second opinions or are in a position where the health professionals misuse their position of authority to prevent discussion of situations.
Everyone is aware of this (including FAANG themselves), yet they keep doing it, like some ritual. I would say THAT is the running joke.
That comment from Anandtech contains guesses that are unlikely to be true, e.g. "executing these instructions over two cycles", and it shows ignorance about how AVX-512 is implemented in the Intel CPUs.

What is really known from the AMD disclosure is that Zen 4 has the same execution resources as Zen 3, only the load/store units are improved, perhaps their bandwidth has been increased to match that of all recent Intel CPUs.

Zen 3 has 4 AVX pipelines which can execute four 256-bit instructions per cycle, but some more complex instructions, e.g. multiplications or FMAs can be executed by at most 2 pipelines.

There are 2 possible ways to execute a 512-bit instruction in such pipelines, either the instruction can occupy a pipeline for 2 cycles, or it can occupy 2 pipelines for 1 cycle.

The throughput is the same, but the latency of the operation is different. The simpler and better way is to occupy 2 pipelines for 1 cycle. This is also how most AVX-512 instructions are implemented in all Intel CPUs, with the exception of FMA/FMUL, for which a few models of Intel CPUs have a second 512-bit pipeline and with the exception of some other instructions for which there is a 256-bit extension of one of the three 256-bit pipelines that exist in Intel CPUs, allowing the Intel CPU to do two 512-bit instructions per cycle, even if it can do only three 256-bit instructions per cycle.

The Intel CPUs can do two 512-bit instructions per cycle, except for a few instructions like FMA/FMUL that can be done only one per cycle in the cheaper CPUs, but two per cycle in most Xeon Gold, all Xeon Platinum and the Xeon W models with AVX-512.

The AMD Zen 4 is certain to have the same 512-bit throughput per clock cycle (two 512-bit instructions per cycle, of which only 1 can be FMA/FMUL) as all Intel CPUs with the exception of the models with two 512-bit FMA units, which will have double throughput only for FMA/FMUL.

That's probably true, but it's not the point. People choose to become employees, and are taken care of in an extremely risk free way.

Just ask any freelancer how different it is to being an entrepreneur, even that change is a massive difference, you have to actually invoice and chase clients for payments, you have to take risk in whether you will actually be paid for work, etc.

Now just take it a step further for someone who is risking their capital, reputation, and time on creating something new, that might only make any revenue in 12-16 months, or never. And it might bankrupt them, lose their reputation etc. At a minimum that's 12-16x more risk than even a freelancer.

Oh and if insane people like myself didn't take this risk, the world would probably still be a foraging bunch of tribes. And you get hated for it for getting rich by exploiting people...

You have no idea about life, to be honest.
I feel you're just being overly pedantic here. Surely those links are not the end of the story, they were just links that I could find very quickly. I'm sorry that they don't match your expectations.

I am also sorry that you don't like the “we don't need to accept”. I merely meant that we should have learned by now that we can avoid lots of influenza infections by very simple means, of which improved hand hygiene is probably the most important (I don't have time to look for links, so feel free to ignore the claim).

Denmark has no COVID-19 restrictions, but we do have extensive influenza sentinel surveillance, so we will see how it goes in the upcoming influenza season.

Danish health authorities still recommend everyone to get vaccinated against COVID, including healthy people under 50. Everyone should get two jabs, everyone over 18 should get a third "booster" shot.
The vaccine talked about in the OP are the fourth vaccine jab, i.e. second booster shot, which is only offered to above-50 and people with certain heath issues.

That is not true. You just made that up didn’t you?

What is compelling you to spread misinformation?

It says this right on the linked page:

Vaccination of children against covid-19
Children and adolescents rarely become severely ill from the Omicron variant of covid-19.

From 1 July 2022, it was no longer possible for children and adolescents aged under 18 to get the first injection and, from 1 September 2022, it was no longer possible for them to get the second injection.

A very limited number of children at particularly higher risk of becoming severely ill will still be offered vaccination based on an individual assessment by a doctor.

So, no it is not recommended, because it is not even an option.

Does this sound like someone who would recommend what you said he would?

The director-general of Denmark’s Health Authority said that in retrospect injecting children with the Covid vaccine was a mistake.

Søren Brostrøm said while hosting “Go Evening Live” on TV 2: “In hindsight, we did not get much out of vaccinating the children. I want to look all parents of children who have vaccinated their child in the eye and say, ‘You did the right thing, and thank you for listening,’ ”

“But at the same time… and this is the important thing to maintain confidence… I will admit and say that we have become wiser and we would not do the same today. And we will not do that in the future either,” he added.
Christine Stabell Benn, clinical professor at the University of Southern Denmark, has long been critical of the vaccination of children. She told TV 2 that she had no doubt that the recommendation to give the Covid vaccine to the age group 12-15 was unnecessary.

“We had some vaccines with a very unknown side effect profile, and at the same time we had some children who had nothing to gain by being vaccinated,” Stabell Benn told TV 2.

Exactly. Avastin was reviewed in the UK for colorectal cancer, and NICE came to the conclusion that it is not a cost-effective treatment.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2010/aug/24/avastin-too-...

Long story, it costs more than the national minimum wage, and on average improves the life expectancy by only 7% compared to chemotherapy without Avastin (21.3 months vs 19.9 months). Fundamentally though the sticking point is the cost. The article also says:

> Data also suggests the trio of drugs means the liver tumours of 78% of patients shrink to such a degree that they are eligible for potentially life-saving surgery.

But this seems to be limited to liver tumours, not colorectal tumours, and it doesn't give any success rate for the surgery. The implication is that the liver tumours were previously too large to operate on, but that's not clear.
I agree. It was telling that in what I perceived to the non story of the midjourney created image winning the county art fair, many of the other prizes were for activities that machines have been better at than humans for decades. Fruit canning. Furniture construction. The replacement narrative is overblown, but these tools are going to augment human artists considerably.

2000Wh power station can be had for <$2k and 2000W solar panels for ~$2k. 3090s don't really consume 500W, more like 350W and that assumes regular voltages; in reality for mining it's much lower. 3080Ti would be even cheaper for about the same throughput.

You already occasionally have to wait for solar panel deliveries. (depending on your location) By buying them for mining you effectively make others wait and not use them for moving off fosil fuels. Additionally, both solar panels and batteries still rely on mining actual limited materials, so every one used for crypto effectively means one less for useful purposes in a long run.
So 3% per year, or just a little bitover inflation. Still, better than the US where we don't really get inflationary raises.
Unlikelly. Miners are still mining other crypto. Some believe ETH is worth nothing now that it is not PoW anymore, so they are choosing other crypto to mine.
Gaming does something i.e. entertain.

Crypto does nothing. Or you could argue, it 'entertains'. But in a way that is unnecessary (it's a distraction, not entertainment), and in a manner that creates unnecessary energy costs (PoW vs PoS).
Any reason the article has sections appearing out of no where, that don't fit the surrounding parts? For example:

This is all about ledgers, traditional banks have a centralized ledger that only they can edit. Blockchains the ledger is decentralized, anyone can edit the ledger (based on specific rules) this provides allot of avenues of attack.

Florida's days of being a swing state will likely be over by the next presidential election. Desantis won by tight margins, but he seems to have done a great job attracting exactly the sort of people who'd vote for him to the state and has consistently worked to gerrymander and restrict voting rights for those who'd vote against him.

Crist couldn't even beat Rick Scott for the Senate, and Scott was one of the least popular governors in the country at the time of the election.

Edit: It was actually Bill Nelson who lost to Scott in 2018, my bad. Crist has been hiding out as a US Rep in Saint Pete since losing the governor's race to Scott.
And some sort of extension of BlueJ is Greenfoot [1]: It is an "IDE" for making simple games using a really simple API[2].

I used it in school for making a game during my A-Levels for my scientific seminar (W-Seminar in german). While the concept is good, the editor is really not that good for anything bigger. You e.g. have no package support in Greenfoot (Or I was not able to find it), and e.g. if you restart a so called "scenario", the JVM does not get reset. Sure I did maybe go to the limits of Greenfoot with my game, but nevertheless it was really fun to work with

> Wind chill only increases the rate of cooling, not the absolute value.

Right. The absolute value is related to the evaporation process, which is affected by wind.

> Evaporative cooling by definition cannot cool below the wet-bulb temperature.

Wet bulb temperature is not “the true temperature of the environment”. Besides, that is true for humans as well, so again not any different between living and non-living things.

The main point is that a thing left in a given environment can end up at temperatures lower than that of their local environment. This process depends on the atmosphere in contact with the thing, which depends on winds.

When controlled for alcohol and drug use it's actually pretty a pretty insignificant risk. 50% of families admit to cosleeping in the UK, I suspect that's likely to suffer significant under reporting.

I think it's far better to do it deliberately, knowing where the baby is and deliberately positioning to avoid the possibility of rolling towards them, than to do it via exhaustion at 4am.

And our 3 year old coslept until 6 months and has slept 8pm to 8am in her own bed ever since so if that's counter productive I'll take it.
