I had a family member come down with shingles shortly after getting boosted, hasn't been infected with covid in years.

There's enough discussion about this happening after vaccination:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34579250/

"Conclusion: This study indicates that the occurrence of VZV reactivation is clinically relevant. However, our findings suggest that COVID-19 vaccination is safe, and remains strongly recommended."
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35931613/

Of course there's the obligatory, robotic, throat-clearing that vaccines should still be taken even when they find evidence of a side-effect.

> It's this 'distribution of women' that seems dark to me. That can't be that much of a crazy opinion as people here seem to think?

It's a very analytical, "cold" way to phrase it, yes, but you get this effect with many "human" problems that are studied scientifically, whether poverty, starvation, etc. Also note the same researchers can, and do, refer to the 'distribution of men' when discussing female mating preferences.

> incentivised instead marry someone else, someone you presumably did not really want to marry.

At a macro level, this is obviously true statistically. But do people experience it as such? You live in a non-polygamous society -- do you or the women you know feel like their spouses were forced on them? Because, to some degree, statistically, they were, as you correctly point out. But the mechanism is just via an accepted, background social norm... there are no arranged marriages, all marriages all voluntary, and everyone retains the option not to marry.

I worked on one in the 90's that was $50,000 a day for three years. The drug company, assuming the trial was successful, had about 4 years to make all its money back before the patent expired. Testing blood, urine, and stool for multiple things is expensive.

Intellectually, I can understand the need for control groups, but I still think it's immoral. When you stare at a spreadsheet and see 70% of the control group is dead because some random number generator sorted them there like hell's own sorting hat, and the 98% of the people getting the drug are alive, you have no business talking about statistics. That graph will haunt me til my dying day.

Python is simpler than Java. This might not be a very important factor in software engineering of large products, but it is very important for prototyping.

Also, a lot of research in ML is done in Python, and there are quite a lot of startups doing ML, so Python is a natural choice. Same for data science.
It does not work out of box because webassembly cannot directly access local file system due to security reason. But I think we can use some api to talk to JavaScript. It's just an early experiment, more work needs to be done.

An entirely unregulated economy gets you something more like Somalia and Afghanistan's. etc. etc. etc.

These are 2 tips that are not shared enough with people wanting to spend a lot of time investing. They're sage advice from many very successful investors who have beat the S&P500 consistently for many years until they could no longer do #2, which to me means you can just sit & retire on your large cap index funds & low risk.

The only thing I would add, is the 3rd thing those people always say. It's easy to make money, it's just as easy to lose it. Make sure you're limiting your down side. Preserving wealth over long periods is critical.

YTD I'm up more than 300% on my options trading account. Options trading is making bets. The way I make bets is in regards to unusual news events. The events that made me the most money this year were Powell raising interest rates in a relatively unprecedented way, the monkeypox crisis and catching the end of the crisis before the mainstream, and the Nord stream pipeline blowing up. I didn't anticipate these events, I just opened positions quickly after they happened before the rest of the market figured out which direction it was going to send the market. I also closed these positions when I read news that meant the impact of these news events were ending. Most of the time there is no trade to be had. There's nothing special that's going on, so I just sit in cash.

Options trading is work. When I have open positions, I have to read a lot of news and get up before the market opens every day and watch things throughout the day with my finger on the sell button. It's not something you can really do while having a normal day job.

OP here. If you own the copyright to a work, you can license it in any way you like. You can offer it to some people under a commercial license and to other people under an open source license. Many entities practices dual (or tri or whatever) licensing. When you post things on GitHub, you are essentially dual licensing your work. You're providing it under a very broad license to GitHub and you are providing it under an OSS license (or whatever you like) to other GitHub users. Neither license takes precedence. One license applies to one group of people and the other license applies to the other group of people.

This is very similar to what happens when you sign a contributor agreement before contributing code to an open source project. When you sign the contributor agreement, you're granting a very broad license to your work to the project maintainers. They can then license your work out under any license they want. But likewise, because you are not granting them an exclusive license, you're free to put your contribution license out into the world under any license of your choosing separate and apart from the project that you contributed it to.

Technically, I think the scenario you're describing with AGPL code may well be possible and legal. But practically, I think people would stop using GitHub if they felt that doing so would lead to GitHub/Microsoft undercutting their projects, stealing their customers, or essentially stripping the project of any AGPL obligations. I think that from a business perspective, they're really gambling on the idea that developers will see Copilot as a big boon rather than a value suck. Time will tell whether their gamble has paid off.

The workstation market got undercut by the improving performance of intel PCs with accelerators from companies like 3D Labs. There's plenty you could criticize SGI management for, but all the unix workstation vendors ended up getting pushed out by that in the end. SGI continued on for a bit selling supercomputers, as they had some multiprocessor interconnect technology that was good for its time. But that got spun out as SGI died, and is now the Cray division of HP.

It's sad what happened to them, as in their prime they really were a category of their own.

I mean none of this is ever going to go away, right? We'll always have diseases...right?

So is wearing a mask, and staying apart from people actually a sustainable way of living, long term? We are now in the long term, we did that for a long time, and to be honest, I don't think the general population could go back to it.

It helped, we weren't getting sick, but people were for sure getting depressed and life was very hard for many many people, which trade off is worth it?

I think it made sense for the time, we had a new virus, things were questionable on long term effects (still are), etc...I think the next thing is to now figure out how to better live with these diseases, reduce spread when infected and care for each other.

These are just things that swirl through my mind on the topic. It's complex and nuanced, what is right is definitely not clear (to me).
I don’t know, Java is a more expressive language which allows for more abstractions. This can be abused, but I think Java does strike a good balance here. You can express something like the Stream API (which is imo much more readable than deeply nested loops), while most of your code will still be ordinary method calls on objects. There certainly is an enterprise style of Java, but that is not inherent in the language, and modern Java really tries to grow away from it.

It's also a surface-borne virus, and so a mask alone is perhaps not that effective. This is why nurses and doctors wear not just masks, but gloves, eye protection, and gowns when treating active COVID patients.

However, wearing such biohazard-level protection isn't really plausible for daily use, and outdoors, transmission is negligible, so it probably makes little sense for people out for a walk to mask up. Maintaining good hand hygiene practices (i.e. wash hands immediately upon entering the home, and certainly before food preparation, don't touch your face with your hands, etc.) is probably more effective.

I think a major issue is that most people don't really understand the bet they are making. By buying/selling options, you are not just placing a bet on the stock direction, but most importantly on the stock implied variance/volatility.

Since 90% of people straight up suck at high-school level math, I think it's fair to assume that 90% of retail traders don't have the tools to understand derivative trading.

And as someone who vaguely understands the required maths, I already realized there was more productive uses of my time.

Well that certainly got our attention. Please, continue.
The panel is already the cheapest part of the solar system in commercial scale. As little as €30/m^2 for older technologies that are being phased out because BOS makes buying more efficient ones cheaper.

Durable plywood with a finish that doesn't scare customers away is not going to be much less and doesn't make €20 worth of electricity a year.

Also you need calculator panels across 50% of it according to the law.

If you're going to pay €30/m^2 for the support structure, why not add a real panel and some real inverters to pay the whole thing off in 8 years? Plus you'll attract wealthy EV early adopters.

This is either a coincidence, or a very clever and perfectly timed move to provide a perfect market for the development of perovskites (which may wind up cost competitive with shade sails) while they're still too inefficient and unreliable to justify the cost of land, and hasten the transition to tandem cells by a few years.

Agreed, original HTML was not too different than markdown really. (But more standard, and slightly more powerful with things like tables, code blocks, and definition lists, all of which are only non-standard extensions to markdown!)

Maybe what OP really wants is a lot more people to write HTML without _any_ CSS or Javascript. But that's already more or less available, so there are reasons people don't do it to grapple with.

Perhaps a mode where you tell the browser to ignore any CSS or Javascript; possibly also in this mode the browser could use better more readable standard html rendering, similar to what most markdown renderers choose by default (bigger font sizes and line-height, more and more even whitspace around headings, maximum page width, etc), instead of the legacy choices they are now sticking with for backwards compat.
There's a part that refers to the research, but the way they describe it sounds confused, like the author doesn't understand the domain. (Or maybe I'm not using the terms in the standard way?)

>Researchers Svetlana Bryzgalova, Anna Pavlova, and Taisiya Sikorskaya found that retail options investors lost over $1 billion during a bull market from November 2019 to June 2021. Their calculations don’t include their estimated $4.13 billion spent on the trading costs, i.e. wide bid-ask spreads that incur immediate losses for options traders. And lastly, we can’t forget the $800 million burned in that time period on commissions.

Wide bid-ask spreads are a trading cost? That incurs an immediate loss? That's independent of the loss quoted in the return? If you (for some reason) do your options trading by only accepting standing bids/asks (market orders), then yes, you get a bad price ... but that would be rolled into the return figures, not an independent loss.

No matter what the bid/ask spread, you can place an order in the middle and wait for a fill.

And commissions aren't a "trading cost" but something that goes in a different (non-trading-cost) bucket?
There's certainly rules around how much liquidity a bank needs when lending (otherwise they could lend infinitely), but they don't need liquidity equal to all their loans. That's why it's called fractional reserve.. they only need a fraction of the funds in reserve.

Options in particular are a trap IMO because they require a LOT of active attention to the market day to day, and in the end aren't really worth it. I also dabbled in options a while back, and ditched them after losing much more than I should.

I did learn a lot about the stock market while doing options though, so I guess that is a plus.

In a lot of ways, crypto is just relearning the basic lessons of finance that banks and corporations learned decades ago.

Things like "don't allow customers to use your company's assets as collateral" and "using a bunch of leverage on volatile crypto" are much less frequent in traditional finance, specifically due to regulation or the fact that these strategies have tried and failed before.

This isn't to say that decentralized finance is exactly the same as traditional finance, because it isn't. But I think the lesson here is that when you're offering products similar to traditional finance, you should assume that many of the same rules/best practices of traditional finance should apply.

This depends on several factors. First of all, whether there is a Twitter in a few months. Elon might have fired too many people responsible for critical parts of the system, there might be a technical collapse.

Even if not, we will have to see how the dynamics of Twitter evolve. Yes, if Twitter can survive on people following celebrities, then it might survive anyway. But currently, Twitter is seen as a reputable place to be for all kind of organizations. Media, the government, sports teams. Everyone is on Twitter. I am trying not to judge Elons ideas at the current state of things, but trust is difficult to obtain, but easy to lose.

Currently, we do see quite a trend for "tech" people to at least also use Mastodon if not outright to migrate. This is quite an important user group. We will see, how many others might follow.

HTML is already a markup language. You could just as easily make basic websites using HTML and some basic inline CSS.

(They’d even have some extra features missing from Markdown that I’d consider still part of a basic content formatting suite like floating or multi-column layouts. They’d even have a defined standard for machine readable metadata!)

The problem is that people don’t make websites like that very often, even though they can. This is trying to solve a problem that doesn’t currently exist.
