Even outside private browsing, Firefox has a feature called "total cookie protection"(1) which in a nutshell creates a separate cookie jar for every domain, so that third party cookies "work" but are not actually the same cookies if you change to a different site that uses the same third party. This would be entirely self-defeating for Chrome to do that, as it would substantially hinder the ad system's ability to build a comprehensive behavior profile and to know that while you're on site A that you also shop and buy on site B. Again this is now the default behavior in Firefox, not even a special mode. Mozilla as an org really is a good guy doing good things in the fight for online privacy, safety, transparency, etc. Not that I think Google is evil, it's just a different business with different customers with different concerns.

Here, I'll link to what Fauci was saying; "might slow", "looming question", "early studies": https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/looming-question-...

No experts were giving statements that this was a sterilizing vaccine. The strongest claims on this front made were that the vaccines appeared in studies to reduce transmission of the original strain, by a hard-to-determine amount.
There was a bill to raise it to $30k and reform various other parts of the Bank Secrecy Act that would have likely passed congress but then the Coronavirus hit and derailed the whole thing. Now with this whole Russia-Ukraine thing any effort to sensibly update reporting thresholds will probably never happen.
It’s an interesting argument. Here is a paragraph from the article:

“In men younger than 40 years, we estimate an additional 4 (95% CI, 2–6) and 14 (95% CI, 5–17) myocarditis events per million in the 1 to 28 days after a first dose of BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273, respectively; and an additional 14 (95% CI, 8–17), 11 (95% CI, 9–13) and 97 (95% CI, 91–99) myocarditis events after a second dose of ChAdOx1, BNT162b2, and mRNA-1273, respectively. These estimates compare with an additional 16 (95% CI, 12–18) myocarditis events per million men younger than 40 years in the 1 to 28 days after a SARS-CoV-2–positive test before vaccination.”

At those numbers the vaccines are causing myocarditis more than covid, but only in young men and not causing a lot more.

If you lump in the multitude of other things covid causes, I’m still picking the vaccine as the lesser evil.

Reportedly, Madigan sent Pritzker some kind of note with the names of all the governors that have come and gone while he remained speaker.
An awesome book that points out the hidden motives behind what people do: Elephant in the Brain by Robin Hanson sheds some light on this phenomenon.

It seems like one of the ways people try to show their love for others is by acting like "money is not an issue when your life is on the line" which results in a tremendous amount of spending per healthy day of life generated (poor QALY trade off).

Firebase is a large suite of products - are you talking about the Realtime Database? The answer is it depends on what "high scale" is. There are parts of the RTDB that didn't scale well when I worked on it (indexes are built in memory on demand so building the initial index is slow), but there are projects that could fix that.
They turn away those patients from some operations because it’s more dangerous dm for the patients in operation and recovery. If the danger outweighs the potential benefit, why do the surgery?
The part that confuses me about the family struggling to figure out what to do with the remains is that the family would still get the remains back even if the donation were accepted. Donating a body doesn't mean that it gets thrown away - they take what remains of the remains, cremate it, and give it back to the family.

So there should be no struggle to find a plan here - do what the person asked for - cremate them. From the family perspective, that is exactly what would have occurred anyway, just with different timing.

God no. The last time I checked, Firebase functions had intensively bad latency times for me. So bad that I decided to learn AWS Lambdas to get my work done. And yes, Lambda just blew Firebase and GCP functions out of the water.

This philosophy only works if you live in one of three simplified universes: either your employees are fully bought in to the company's goals, or you can always pay them enough money for them to keep working for you without any intrinsic motivation, or your employees really are interchangeable cogs and retention doesn't matter.

None of these simplified models reflect the real world. No employee is fully bought into the company's goals. Odds are you don't actually have enough money to beat all other offers. And the cost of turning employees into interchangeable cogs is that you need a lot more of them than if you're willing to let them be individuals.

The result is that while the company has its own goals, those goals are best served by making sure that the employees are at least happy enough that turnover is kept low. And a big part of keeping creatives happy (not just in software) is letting them try new things and experiment.

(This is aside from the tangible benefits that your organization gets from allowing people to be creative, which I think is not negligible.)

This is a very nice and deep question. Are you aware of the published research on the problem?

The growth rate is indeed around 4 and now known to be strictly above 4:

If I remember correctly, there was a non-rigorous argument for a concrete conjectured value not far above 4.
> But the margins were small. Elimination of one or two factors would have been enough to sway them.

The margins were small. But my personal belief — which of course I can't prove either — is that no votes in the election were changed by Russian Twitter bots. Not even a single vote.

Both candidates were already very well known public figures before they ran, and both were also more disliked than liked. In the end, Republicans mostly voted for the Republican, Democrats mostly voted for the Democrat, and the late deciding independents rolled the dice with Trump, because he had much less of a political record than Clinton. Voters like a "fresh face", and Trump was more of a fresh face in politics, despite being famous for other reasons since the 1980s. Washington outsiders tend to do well in open seat elections.

The thing is, if you draw boxes in a terminal, you are targeting users that don't care too much about graphical user experience ie. users who feel comfortable and happy with a CLI interface. Users who care about colour bleeding don't even try such things in a terminal.

I really only use icognito mode for development/testing - when I need a clean session.

I definitely don't use it just to keep a site from appearing in my browser history.
You haven't really explained the reason.
Except that these so-called “vaccines” don’t stop transmission like the vaccines you’re thinking about.
When you go in your office and close the door to make a phone call, you are speaking privately, with respect to the other people outside the door. You are not speaking privately with respect to the person you called, and any expectation of that is just silly.
That's dated 2020. But I guess you're right, https://madisonrecord.com/stories/614637059-why-pritzker-for... is Dec 2021 and says it's still open. I guess they could be delaying the charges while they investigate related members like Madigan. But the evasion was in 2015, statutory filing date is March 1 2016, and the statute of limitations is 6 years after, March 1 2022, so their window is already closing (I guess they could still do tax year 2016/2017).
Russia isn’t the largest exporter, but

„Russia is a significant supplier of both uranium and uranium enrichment services. According to the latest available data, the European Union purchased about 20 percent of its natural uranium and 26 percent of its enrichment services from Russia in 2020. The United States imported about 14 percent of its uranium and 28 percent of all enrichment services from Russia in 2021.“

That is not entirely correct. Incognito mode shows as incognito, meaning you can tell apart a guy using incognito from a guy with a freshly installed chrome.

Not sure if the data I just found is reliable, but according to that, only about 13% of males and 0.03% of females in the US are taller than 6 feet.
Placing the burden of reducing strain on a medical system as bad as the USA's is ridiculous. There are reasons to want to avoid obesity but how is one of them to accommodate the medical system? The reasoning is completely backwards. It's like saying that the legal system should not get better at finding who is at fault because it will reduce people's self-reliance at resolving conflicts.

There is nothing wrong with that. Taking care of oneself to be good at what you do while maintaining your own health sounds like a terrific goal for its own sake, regardless of where that puts you in comparison to others.
If you are a recurring subject of high value CTRs or CMIRs I think sooner or later you will get a friendly knock from the guys over at Homeland Security Investigations or maybe you'll notice one day you're being followed when you're driving.

I feel like if you're technically savvy enough to have a good reason to be anonymous on the internet, you're hopefully technically savvy enough to not use incognito mode to do so.
Great answer, also too much retraction such that the filament gets pulled up into the cool zone while partially melted is another big source of clogs beginners run into. Usually while chasing down stringing issues. The balance between heat, retraction, and speeds are super important. But beginners tend to just crank up the retraction and end up with a clog.

I still don’t understand how what you wrote is different than what some people said 50 or 150 years ago. We now know from hindsight, the people who were doing your rhetoric in the past in enough circumstances where they wanted the status quo to remain as their life is going well enough. IE civil rights, suffrage, slavery, and so on.

The person who you responded to didn’t say things are always getting worse. They implied progress isn’t possible, but it was specifically about money. It’s not even about progress in general. Which were your issues.

I do agree the commenter was far too negative and being black and white. Especially for something as general as making money.

I wonder if age is the main reason. I know people more radical than me who are past 50. My principles personally have only been more reinforced since I was in HS. Which is 15+ years ago. World and politic views makes sense to me as the biggest reason for how both of us see this. Just my hunch, not saying you’re wrong.
Thanks for the conversation.

We obviously disagree. I don't think we are near general AI (and yes, I know the objection that everyone who says this is simply moving the goalposts-- regardless, I'm unconvinced). I think GPT et al are very interesting tricks, but still not general AI; and that the path to it doesn't lie in this direction.

I subscribe to the view we think of the human mind as a pattern matching computer simply because this is the current major tech, much like people in the past thought of "humors" or "steam machines". I think some of the analogies are useful, to a point, but I don't think there's hard evidence the mind is like a neural net (irony notwithstanding) or a pattern marching GPT-like algorithm.

Re: Thinking Fast and Slow, I see there are serious doubts about the validity of the book's foundations and conclusions, and that it's been challenged.
That kind of box drawing was pretty common on 8-bit character map systems, like Commodore 64 and I'd guess also on game consoles, like Nintendo Entertainment System.
> In a highly creative field like software

Not in 2022. Half a century ago, yeah, it was a highly creative field, but these days almost everything has been done. (Even ML is decades old, the hardware caught up.) And this is a good thing!

We have been doing this long enough that it should be "boring" now, in the same way that constructing buildings or bridges is "boring", eh?

> In other words it might very well be the case that a company that takes a chance on something unusual with a higher opportunity cost will outcompete competitors.

Sure, but that's a decision that should be made cautiously, with good reasons to think it will work. In other words, innovation should be "boring" too, at this stage in the game.

I love when you're using open source software and can find the bug yourself, even if it's deep down the stack.

Imagine if this bug were somewhere in closed source software. You'd have to reach out to the software's customer support team. Every time I reach out to customer support I expect to have an unpleasant experience. It is rarely otherwise.

I'm not convinced by the reasons put forth in the article
their videos on ukraine are heavily emotional with a soundtrack to queue your emotions without giving a good understanding of whats going on with the war, just emotional coverage of how hard life is.

If you want good coverage of the war in ukraine you need to follow someone like 'Reporting from Ukraine' or 'denys davydov' on youtube. Rather than crying babushkas tugging on heartstrings to a soundtrack meant to manipulate you, you get actual breakdowns, daily, of the tactical situation in various parts of ukraine and what both sides are trying. You'll get a video roughly every day instead of these heavily edited reports, but you'll know 1000% more about the war in ukraine than watching vice.

If you want to watch actual combat footage you can go to reddit for places like /r/combatfootage or /r/ukrainewarvideoreport. But you will see people die or be mortally wounded, regularly.

If you want to spend 20 minutes feeling emotional vice is your go to. If you want to know about the war in ukraine go somewhere else. Vice is garbage.
Qatar doesn't mind needing the cooperation of the people in question, since they can put you in jail or deport you if you don't cooperate.
Humans didn’t evolve to sit at a desk all day. We can adapt to it, but some sort of feeling of adventure helps motivate. Interest in the work engages more of the brain and can make one more productive.

I’ve cultivated the ability to become excited about picking apart grody system failures. That never gets old, and unlike adding a hot new framework to the stack, the cumulative effect is always to make things work better.

Engineering is about the process you follow to create outcomes, not solely the result. This relates to creating a result of a known quality in a predictable, known time and budget.

Move fast and break things is not an engineering paradigm and few software projects ever meet quality, budget and schedule expectations.

If an engineer failed in the manner some software projects do they might well be unemployable and possibly incarcerated, eg UK Post disaster for just one.
I agree. Javascript can do cool stuff. When the author said:

> I'd prefer to write js all day — but finding html and css only solutions has made me a better developer.

> It's forced me to find creative ways of solving problems — and to learn new html and css features.

...it made me think about how you can often do cool thing by taking advantage of some browser functionality, then you look it up on caniuse.com and it's only available on 75% of browsers. Much worse than using a few lines of JS that can't be used by 1% of users.
The referenced plan was to explicitly not do so. And ‘happens every decade or so in the US’ is a lot more frequent than meltdowns, and not very far down the tail as far as such things go.
