VIDEO: Dr. Yeadon Calls Out Satanic Cult Behind Deadly Covid Vax Push

> Dr. Yeadon recently warned the world, “They’ve jabbed four or six billion poor souls. Something like 1 in 1,000 have died, we don’t know how many more will die, but we’re into double figures of millions that have definitely been killed as a consequence of this policy and that tells you the people who are doing this are ruthless and diabolical.”

> He continued, “We’re beyond wrong and right, we’re into good versus evil. I’m not a religious person but the kind of planning and thinking it takes to have done what has happened are people who would worship Satan. They’re not normal people. I couldn’t do one part of this.”

> Bingo,” Jones concurred with Yeadon’s assessment before detailing how demonic entities have taken over the soulless global elite.

Which seems to undermine his thesis.

Also:

My thought was you only preferred the equator when you’re launching a geosynchronous satellite.

If you’re doing Low earth orbit and your satellite it going to regularly cross Europe, it’s best to launch as close to the poles as you can because gravity is weakest there (but air is colder/thicker…)

> because we still don't know how to work around context switching being expensive

Context switching can be as expensive as you want, or almost as cheap as you want depending on the limitations of the hardware. Back in 1992 on by todays' standards very anemic hardware you could do 200K slices per second, today likely orders of magnitude more than that.

I suspect that lots of people - not necessarily you - that have very clear opinions on micro kernels and their capabilities have never actually used them.
If you're not IT, god speed y'all, then it's not all that bad honestly. I set up my stuff with Ansible and 90% of the "porting" work was the mapping between rpms and brew packages.

The only headache I get sometimes is because I have the GNU utils first in the path which makes compilation scripts mad sometimes.
> There's one developer in our company that uses Linux and it's a lot of pain to setup.

There was one developer in our team using Mac. Everyone (>20 people) else were using Linux. Mac was a lot of pain to setup.

Linux is the best balance between coding, utility tools and "other work stuff".

Windows is not even considered for development, it falls badly in the coding & tooling department.

So in our company almost every dev uses Linux (except this one hipster using Mac) & marketing team use Windows
Compared to the constant bitrot in "newer" frameworks I have grown to like Django more over the years. My old projects in Django still work. The meteor projects, flash apps, Android apps, less so. Modern software undervalues stability.

I don’t believe that this voting bloc is actually voting in its best interests. The power rests more with the people who are able to manipulate it.
Sure it does - you work 8 hours a day, if you get more tasks to do than time you prioritize and what gets done gets done.

If management want more done they can hire more staff.

Sure you need to find the right company and your yearly compensation might be lower, but your hourly rate will still be around the same and you can have quality of life.

Yes, raising an exn in OCaml is close to jumping to an address stored in a register. https://stackoverflow.com/a/8567429

As a result, raising and catching exns in OCaml is cheap. List.fold_until in Base, for example, is implemented with exceptions: https://github.com/janestreet/base/blob/ae169dc8097b3da8e99d... (With_return is internally implemented by raising an exception in a try-with.)

Implementations of functional programming languages often have powerful, yet fast!, non-local control-flow primitives. GHC recently sprouted delimited continuations (https://ghc.gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/doc/users_guide/9.6.1-not...), for example, and Lisps have had that for much longer. It's easy to program in an imperative language for a long time and think that straight-line control flow is the end-all, be-all for performance—but it doesn't have to be the case.

Fun fact : during the late 2015 Mariupol elections, almost 50% self-identified as Russian, 80% as Ukrainian, fewer than 20% as European, and more than 50% as... Soviet !

How many people live well below their means and retire early though? I imagine most people taking those jobs just ended up living expensive lifestyles and retiring around the same time the rest of us do. Plus even retiring early generally means waiting until you're in your 40s or 50s.

My preferred fix: pay for a Parallels Pro license and run Ubuntu on a VM, then run docker there. The VM is configured to start on login and run in the background.

I used to keep a separate laptop exclusively for DJing which contained nothing but my track library and music software. This helped ensure that nothing unexpected would happen while performing, but also gave me a distinct environment to play in. A hardware wifi switch was nice, but just turning it off in software works fine too.

That's a valid observation. All of the old stuff has been battle tested and reviewed many times. Newer stuff is bound to have bugs that still have not been found. And even old stuff turns up surprises every now and then. For instance

>no. The driver is responsible to keep speed and distance from previous car such that he/she can stop if necessary.

And pretty much every state also has a law drivers not to do things like panic stop in the highway without a reason. The rules of the road have redundant responsibility baked in almost everywhere on purpose

We abridge a lot of normal rules and legal doctrine for handling civil liability when it comes to car stuff because we have to have quick rules of thumb to deal with the sheer volume of incidents. What you are arguing in favor of here is a very sloppy rule of thumb and such advocacy is likely because you have assessed yourself to be far more likely to be the source of a multi-car wreck than one of the people caught up in it.

Ask yourself, if you brake checked someone and caused a chain reaction would you be morally culpable? The overwhelming majority of the population would say yes. So why should you not be financially culpable?

Now ask yourself if instead of brake checking someone you were stopping because a child wandered into the road how would that change things.

On what grounds do you justify using the same allocation of liability for both these situations?

Sure, I mean, I want to be clear—there's certainly a lot of inefficiency here. But my point is that the OP is talking about their data processing pipeline taking HOURS to handle queries for 50,000 IDs (50 parallel queries—1,000 IDs per query). When it comes down to it, I just don't believe that the inefficiency in serializing 1,000 numbers in python and then deserializing them in BigQuery has anything to do with the problems OP was experiencing. Remember—OP is probably going to be getting back 50,000 rows from the database anyway, the additional work here is linear with respect to the amount of rows retrieved. Sending 50,000 numbers over the wire to get back 50,000 rows worth of data is not an "hours long" processing cost, in the scheme of things.

The pay in consulting is not typically the main draw. Finance and tech are almost always more lucrative. Even within finance, most jobs do not pay particularly high salaries for entry-level positions, if seen through the lens of hourly rates (e.g., investment banking).
If I remember correctly Apple built the app in relative secrecy so that iPhone could open YouTube links at launch without supporting flash, and Google was okay with that because it drove growth in YouTube and Android was in infancy, but the arrangement ended in 2012:

> My guess is he was not required to post full collateral, i.e. the only collateral here is the home, and then Sam, his parents, and two others posted essentially an unsecured guarantee for the full $250M, such that the government could recover up that amount from any assets held by any of those parties

Approximately this, though only SBF and his parents are on the hook for the full amount, the other two for a lesser amount (TBD in the main bail doc.)
They also make up internal projects because external software can’t handle their “scale” they also made up. And rewrite all their internal projects every few years because that’s the best way to deal with their changing environment, which changes due to their policy of rewriting everything every few years.

Basically what I’m saying is they’d do fine if all their engineers just stayed home for a year.
It seems the nonsense below overlooked the huge number of very profitable sole proprietorships on the iOS App Store.

It also made assumptions about assumptions the question never made, which is self-referentially amusing.

There have been numerous posts over the years with sole proprietors citing that they clearly started profitable iOS businesses as side projects while working other jobs.
Normally, the accused pays a bail bondsman ~10% of the bail amount and bondsman puts up the full amount at the courthouse. The 10% is a fee to the bondsman, the accused doesn’t get it back. The bondsman gets back their full amount back when the accused shows up for trial. If the accused flees, the bondsman sends bounty hunters and/or calls in their insurance policy.

Not sure how it works for amounts this large, but the above applies to your everyday DUI/assault/etc (at least here in VA). And even if the house was worth $25 million, they would essentially be giving it to the bondsman, which I doubt it what happened.

The rich truly do play by different rules, even when they’re charged with crimes.
Agreed. Also what's being overlooked by others is the inability (using dumps of "users of site X") is the ability to globally intersect that with another site.

The ability to quickly find users who have an account in (list of embarrassing sites) intersected with (list of internal gov and mil sites, and large defence companies) is hugely powerful to some adversaries, and data leaks/dumps only give half of this equation.
Turns out the guy in question was in fact a jackass (based on this clip).

I didn't read it that way.

But the far bigger point is that Musk was even more uncivil and obnoxious in his response to that situation.

That was no less than an outright personal attack. As an attempt to wiggle out of a perfectly valid line of questioning (aside from the "fucking mike" part) that he apparently has no intelligent answer for. Unfortunately the clip cuts conspicuously short after that point, so we can't know for sure. But that does seem to be the long and short of this exchange.
BTW, if you're exporting your data, check that it's all there. I had the unpleasant experience of noticing Lastpass either has a buggy implementation or intentionally giving an incomplete export. I ended up needing to manually copy credentials over one by one.

Gifts eliminate estate tax up to $12m. You can exceed even that limit by purchasing a property and placing it in a QPRT.

Life insurance trusts also have no limit.

Finally, even if it were true that it's merely deferring taxes, that means you can essentially time the market to pay less in tax when the rules are more favourable, and you can realize more gains in the interim.

You can't bring up Feyerabend without mentioning Imre Lakatos. The "methodology of scientific research programmes" is another fun read that takes the matter of demarcation a bit more seriously than AM.

For example, Lakatos isn't satisfied with "anything goes" because it fails to consider the political and social consequences of being unable to recognize science from pseudoscience. For Lakatos, demarcation is necessary to maintain a "standard of objective honesty", and avoid falling into an "intellectual decay".

Overall, Lakatos is much less provocative than Feyerabend, but is equally invested in picking apart the historical nuances of scientific progress brought into question by Popper and Kuhn.

Thanks for the info. I've been working my way through the ORM's and had just attempted MikroORM on a project but struggled with the documentation for initial setup so ended up with Prisma.

Most exploited UAFs don't happen in common execution paths. They're often caused by weird races and error conditions that nobody considered to even happen. It's why things like production ASan is a lot less valuable than people would imagine: most reasonably well tested software doesn't exhibit memory corruption when used normally. So, sure, your suggested technique could be a cool way to try and catch bugs that appear under normal execution but it won't put that much of a dent in the total number of bugs.
> The bondsman gets back their full amount when the accused shows up for trial.

Usually, registered bail agents sign as sureties, they don't actually pay the bail up front and get it back.

Well, France in 15 years made its grid nearly 100% green. For the last 50+ years France had really low energy prices, high energy reliability, an incredibly green grid, no emissions, almost no money going abroad instead supporting high paid technical jobs domestically.

The cost for that transformation was mostly on the books of the utility and were being paid down despite the low energy prices they were offering.

That a huge success, and any signification technical industrial nation could do the same. France was already going towards that path so if you would replicate it it would likely be 25 years but i that time you could like build 80 much more modern higher utilization reactors.

Germany had a Green transformation that with all the subsidies and everything will have cost 100s of million and they still have lots of coal (and their remaining nuclear) and will not have fully solved the problem for quite a while yet. In the time since French built nuclear the Germans mostly paid higher electricity prices and the most recent subsidy for energy prices will cost Germany 100s of billions. Not to mention the huge cost in terms of health and the environment to operate all the coal plants.

So had the Germany 'Energiewende' been to go from 30% to 100% nuclear, they could likely have done it in 20 years flat. Assuming a start date of 2000, that would be now. They could be 100% nuclear by now with reliable low cost energy prices, a 100% green grid. I don't think there is really any question if this would have been possible. Germany had all the knowlage and skills required. Even assuming some plants are delayed, they by now could easily finish 8 plants at the same time, they would be done within the next couple of years for sure.

This could have been financed easily as well. Assuming they build 50 new reactors (lets say 1.4GWe), assuming a conservative of 5 billion per reactor (prices way lower if you actually mass produce). 250 billion $, that's 6% of their GDP. Germany debt is 60%, and would go to 66%. German 30 year bond yields of 2%.

In return they would get assets that would produce green energy reliably at fixed price for literally the next 80-100 years. And that is assuming they do it with mostly the same tech that France did.

This would have clear been a superior path for Germany in almost any way you look at it. Their citizens would breath clean air now. They would have reliable low energy prices (as most of the French consumers of nuclear plants still enjoy). And they could tell Russia to go fuck themselves.

Likely the would also get contract from the Polish and all over Europe and continue to build them making it a profitable export.
Note: Even though the Federal Bail Reform Act of 1984 allows Federal courts to require financial conditions such as a cash or property bond, the majority of districts no longer use bail bonds, and very few bondsmen will work with federal cases.
