If you live in a country where there are arbitrary signs almost everywhere, like the US, I could see the argument. In the UK, however, this sign very clearly stands out as unusual and a joke. We don't tend to have large, independent signs and billboards on 60mph roads, especially not on the Welsh borders, so the sign's mere presence is curious enough and unlikely to detract from any other signs in the area.

Interestingly airports are listed, but military airfields are not.

I know they are much harder to track, but I wonder how MCAS Miramar + NAS North Island + the LCAC's at Camp Pendleton contribute in comparison to SAN. Looking at about 150gph for H-60's, 1500gph for F-35's, and 1000gph for LCACs. I know the H-60 squadrons alone will push something north of 15k flight hours locally per year (maybe a lot more; I don't keep up on the numbers), and the LCACs push a couple thousand (again, not 100% sure). I have no idea on the F-35's.

I can say that one running joke in the Navy that is actually true is that the fighters dump more fuel making trap weight than the helo's burn. That can't be good for the ocean either.

that angers me too. america bumbled its way through the pandemic, and we're no closer to getting single payer healthcare. not even for medical care related to the pandemic, which is collectively beneficial.

Just a meta comment. This exact comment 1 year ago would have been downvoted until it was dead. However, much of the evidence for this was available at that time. I sadly think we'll continue to see excess deaths climb over the coming years particularly in the US.

I'm glad I only got the J&J shot way back when it came out and avoided 3+ rounds of Pfizer or Moderna primary and boosters.

> real loans and bonds business

You mean, like a Money Market fund like VMFXX?

https://investor.vanguard.com/investment-products/mutual-fun...

VMFXX has federal regulations, where it is _required_ to prove your liquidity reserves _DAILY_. EVERY SINGLE DAY, VMFXX publishes how much money they have that can be satisfied within 1-day, 1-week, and other such benchmarks.

The entire publication is available online, every single day, not only from VMFXX, but also all of VMFXX's competitors (such as SWVXX).

What Coinbase / Binance is doing is "Crappy" because their reporting guidelines are so much worse than what "the real banks" are doing. There's no one checking or double-checking these reserves.

Every single dollar (and even penny) is tracked in a money market fund. The _EXACT_ makeup of the loans is also tracked. The rules for how a "bank run" would be handled, are regulated and stated in advance. Everything has been planned out, discussed, debated, in Congress over-and-over again for the past 100 years as our laws have evolved.

VMFXX handles over $200 Billion of assets, and has been doing so for decades, in a tradition that follows US legal rules for nearly a hundred years (established since the times when the banks did lose a lot of money: back in the Great Depression). Its battle tested, pragmatic, and cheap (0.11% fees/year), extremely transparent, well regulated, well understood.

The comparison to Coinbase and Binance is laughable. There's no regulations, they haven't even been around for a decade, Binance isn't even being checked by anybody (being an offshore accounts), though I admit that Coinbase is at least in the USA and subject to US Law. But even Coinbase's reports on their assets pales in comparison to the information I get from VMFXX's pages.

I'm trying to show you what a "real bank" does, such as VMFXX / Vanguard, with their "equivalent stablecoins" (aka, money market fund).

Exactly right. People with insurance have zero idea how much medical care actually costs because it's really hard to keep up with all the health insurance documents one receives.

Try being hospitalized without insurance. You'll find out really fast. (I was, twice, circa 2010. I was unemployed and uninsured)

No, not for younger men: the risk of myocarditis from the vaccine does not appear to offset the benefit. So if you only care about that one single dimension, younger men shouldn’t have the vaccine. That said, other costs and benefits matter far far more I think.

Absolutely terrible reporting in that link - instead look at the paper: https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA....

In men younger than 40 years, we estimate an additional 4 and 14 myocarditis events per million in the 1 to 28 days after a first dose of BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273, respectively; and an additional 14 , 11 and 97 myocarditis events after a second dose of ChAdOx1, BNT162b2, and mRNA-1273, respectively. These estimates compare with an additional 16 myocarditis events per million men younger than 40 years in the 1 to 28 days after a SARS-CoV-2–positive test before vaccination. [ChAdOx1 == AstraZeneca, BNT162b2 == Pfizer, and mRNA-1273 == Moderna]

The risk of vaccine-associated myocarditis is consistently higher in younger men, particularly after a second dose of mRNA-1273, where the number of additional events during 28 days was estimated to be 97 per million people exposed. An important consideration for this group is that the risk of myocarditis after a second dose of mRNA-1273 was higher than the risk after infection.

He went to MIT and interned there.

I'm confused as to what you are asking - Jane St certainly hires plenty of people out of college not for nepotism reasons.

The fact that he did not have a prior job before college is not evidence he was hired for nepotism.

Let me guess - he also got into MIT through nepotism as well.
How do you deal with errors? Do you check them at every callsite and manually “bubble up”, or do you use exceptions?

The weird thing about Musk’s plans for Twitter is that he’s focusing on things where his own experience is at a maximum distance from an ordinary user’s experience.

He thinks reply spam bots are the #1 problem, but that’s because he has millions of followers and a cryptocurrency cult attracted to his name. He wants to add payments, but he’s literally the richest man in the world — he doesn’t even need to pay for anything himself.

At Tesla he followed the Steve Jobs model of building something he himself wants to use, then selling the same product to everyone else with minimum variations. This works for a car where the ideal experience is fundamentally the same to everyone (and a phone and a tablet, in Jobs’s case). But the billionaire’s Twitter experience is nothing like mine, which is nothing like that of a 13-year-old girl, and so on. This kind of product development needs empathy, not just a vision of what you’d want to use yourself.

I have no idea why you’re quoting that tweet. This saying is much older than 2014.
Ok, I'll ignore the bit where you implicitly claim that 1000's of independent county health offices colluded to produce excess corpses before the vaccine came out, and then somehow hid exponentially more corpses after it came out.

Excess mortality is higher now because we're in the middle of a massive rebound of all the other respiratory illnesses (that were stopped by widespread masking and record flu vaccination last year). Also Covid is still around. Omicron has partially "escaped" the updated vaccines (which you should take anyway).

I do not agree. When you benchmark you usually measure the differences between times needed to complete. This is because it is highly non-obvious that if you increase workload twice, the time increases also twice. Perhaps the algorithm is not linear. Perhaps if you have more data, you suddenly need to swap memory. Perhaps something (like disk access in parallel) means that actually it takes less than 2x time. This means that a concept of speed per unit of work is undefined. So the only reasonable interpretation of "70% faster" means "spends 30% time of original".
Build quality on non-Apple machines have been rough for me.

Support and QA have long been questionable paths into software development, but if you're entry-level and looking for remote work vaguely in the field, these are good roles. This is especially true for support which can be done relatively independently by inexperienced people, unlike software development, which requires a lot of mentoring for entry-level people that remote environments haven't really figured out how to accommodate yet.

> the "next" booster is referring to the updated vaccine that more effectively targets the dominant "Omicron" variant.

Ah thanks for the context.

I've only gotten the J&J vax (the worst one?) back in April of 2021, no boosters. I considered getting one but by then they were recommending boosters every few months and I decided to just "risk" it by not getting them? (I'm in my 30s and in good shape/health so don't feel vulnerable, but I understand that could be hubris and back-fire).
I don't know about the rest of your methodology and I'm suspicious of the concept of "Oh they forgot to multiply by 13%" cause you just don't multiply percentages (with very few exceptions).
But more to the point, the group "Covid Positive + No Vaccine" has a high sampling bias built into it. Because you're sampling "People who lived through covid without the vaccine".

I've accepted that I'm going to ignore a certain interest for months, maybe years, and then come back to it when my energy for that subject comes back. Of course this means that I have a lot of books and stuff...

In recent years I've gotten better about hitting the library first instead of buying books. It imposes a natural deadline on things: if you couldn't be bothered to start reading in 3 weeks, then maybe it was just a passing fancy.

Getting older helps too. I feel like I have less energy, which needs to be spent more carefully. But there's also perspective that comes with maturity, and the willingness to forgive myself for not being maximally "productive".
Red Hat has been providing indemnification for patents for RHEL. This seems like another regulatory bag they will have to carry. Everybody will just use Red Hat, because it is already certified so they can just pass the certification along.

"outside the course of a commercial activity should not be covered by this Regulation" Is this kind of wording normal In EU laws? Why use "Should" in the law, since we are in the middle of defining what is going to happen shouldn't it be "is"?

Ever tried negotiating budgets between the CEO, division managers, and CTO?

You basically run into a few arguments:

1. Can't hire Juniors as they cost a lot to train, and keep leaving for better paying firms

2. Can't hire Seniors as they cost too much, and tend to be a challenge to manage

3. Why don't we keep piling on the ticket queue till the existing teams starts to burnout, as they will burnout in a year anyway

4. That is a "no" to your budget request, as the staffing-agent/Marketer thinks we can get these positions filled for 34 cents to the dollar.

Same here. Since 1 day post vaccination pain in elbow for almost a year (if she was doing physical job, she'd not be able to work for amlost a year) On top of that constant unending headache for first ~6 months.

Doctors help basically just "we don't know, there's no research, it will hopefully get better". It did after a year. Great. Govt pushed people to vaccinate to prevent the spread (despite individual's risk being very low) with promise to compensate in case of issues. lol, they didn't even compensate people who were paralyzed after vaccination with response "You can't prove it's from vaccination, sorry."

Zero benefit from the vaccination itself, since she didn't go for a second shot after this.

Cost/benefit very negative, since she likely didn't need the vaccination in the first place since she's not in the risk group and this was just "for the society" thing. And turns out it doesn't work againt spread much either.
Actually that is outdated since at least PHP 7. In modern PHP the engine uses copy on write only for "larger" things, but "small" things like integers or booleans live on the stack and are copied around, avoiding heap allocations etc.
I missed that line while skimming the article, but that is exactly what was going through my mind.
It is mind-boggling how this can exist on such a grand scale without any scrutiny.
Some added information: Some might wonder, won't the US government pay me if I am injured (as unlikely as that is)? For example, the young man the article talks about as having been injured?

Yes - there is a fund, the CICP (Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program). However, your odds of getting paid are basically nil, as an adult; due to an extremely high standard for proving causation, lack of awareness, and limited claim time (1 year from date of vaccination). So if you have a long-term effect after, say, 3 years needing compensation, you won't be paid.

"As of October 1, 2022, the CICP has partially compensated one COVID-19 countermeasure claim. There are potentially additional expenses to be calculated for this claim, therefore, the claim is still in the “Pending” compensation status. Forty-seven COVID-19 countermeasure claims have been denied compensation because the standard of proof for causation was not met and/or a covered injury was not sustained. Six COVID-19 countermeasure claims, all of which are COVID-19 vaccine claims, have been determined eligible for compensation and are pending a review of eligible expenses. One eligible claim is the result of anaphylaxis, and five claims are the result of myocarditis."

Six payouts as of October 1st, 2022. https://www.hrsa.gov/cicp/cicp-data
Yeah, it feels a bit awkward, but as far as a complete thought it's fine. I would have written something like "powers on for the first time." or something, though.
That's not as much of a risk as people make it out to be. Being successful is a good thing, even if you are dependent on another platform. As long as you are adding something of value, you are more likely to get bought out by Slack than get ripped off by them.

How do you know this? I think its a bit of a stretch to say _everyone_ who has been laid off because of a looming recession has been given a package, unless you just meant the short list of tech in the very specific area of SV. If so I would encourage you to broaden your horizons to think of more than just tech.
I could speculate because the op is a Taurus. It holds just as much weight in the conversation because there’s no evidence that the op’s zodiac or DEI status are used to eliminate them in the hiring process.

I used the word bait because unsubstantiated “DEI hate” is used on hackernews as lightning rods.

I haven’t shamed anyone. If you actually read what I said above, you would see that I’m not denying racism in hiring exist… but again there’s no evidence of that here.
> the mechanics of moving the caret around

You can't hurt yourself moving the caret around.
Right. When we talk about laws not getting enforced leading to people doing bad things, we're talking about you. You seem alright with that, which I've already noted.
Depends on how large the cache is and how much users expect instant updates to their data. If real-time or near real-time is the expectation, then avoiding the cache usage unless necessary preserves their experience without incurring the hurdles of cache invalidation that grow more complex the more you cache.

EDIT:

Another area where this approach is beneficial is with a multi-tenant system where larger tenants querying more data could have a much more significant performance impact than other tenants on the system.

Time of day/week/month usage spikes can also cause a performance degrade for everyone even if it's not typically stressing the system.

This approach is just a mitigation to prevent the system from getting overload during those times. It's not the right approach for every situation. Just a spin on the Circuit Breaker Pattern.

The World of Carbon by Isaac Asimov started my fascination with the sciences when I was a freshman in High School(grade 9). Chemicals in general just made more sense after reading. He is incredibly clear in his non fiction writing. Prior to reading that, none of my science classes in school had captured my attention.

Because combustion and processing efficiencies for wood are less than coal, the immediate impact of substituting wood for coal is an increase in atmospheric CO2 relative to coal. The payback time for this carbon debt ranges from 44–104 years after clearcut, depending on forest type—assuming the land remains forest. Surprisingly, replanting hardwood forests with fast-growing pine plantations raises the CO2 impact of wood because the equilibrium carbon density of plantations is lower than natural forests. Further, projected growth in wood harvest for bioenergy would increase atmospheric CO2 for at least a century because new carbon debt continuously exceeds NPP. Assuming biofuels are carbon neutral may worsen irreversible impacts of climate change before benefits accrue. [0]
