800 is much less than the 6.7 million that died of Covid-19. This is a mathematical fact, not some opinion. And 6.7 million is just the number of confirmed Covid-19 deaths - the real number is likely between 16-28 million given the excess deaths after 2020.

Note that all people ultimately die of a single cause of death: cardio-respiratory stop - whether they had cancer, Covid-19, obesity, were hit by a car, were sawed in half by a murderer. So just as you can say "they died with Covid-19, not of Covid-19", I can say that "they died with pulmonary cancer, not of pulmonary cancer". People who had Covid-19 at the time of death were killed, to some extent at least, by Covid-19 (if we exclude violent deaths, which every country did). I would bet you good money that at least some of the 8 people who died of the AZ vaccine blood clotting disorder had other co-morbidities, so your argument anyway applies to them as well. Not to mention, again, there are far more people who died of Covid-19 but weren't tested and are not part of the official counts.

I will state this again: by the exact same measure we use for this type of statistic for every disease, and taking only the deaths with confirmed Covid-19, it has killed about as many people as obesity (2.8 million/year), and has killed more people than pulmonary cancer (1.8 million/year), tuberculosis (1.5 million/year), AIDS (650k/year), malaria (670k/year), breast cancer (680k/year), prostate cancer (300k/year), and so many others.

And whatever deaths can be attributed to the vaccines we know work with extraordinary evidence, those deaths are not even a fraction of a percent of how many people Covid-19 has killed. And, again, they also include many many people with co-morbidities, just like the Covid-19 numbers.
I also work at a HF and have worked in various finance domain roles for 20 years and I strongly agree with this. Focus on clearing your short term debt (if any), keeping your investment costs low, pick safe options.

After this, in my opinion the most impactful thing you can do to long term wealth prospects is live well within your means, and ask for raises, really really make sure you are at or close to the top end of your market rate salary at all times. Never defer gratification when it comes to professional compensation, no matter what the supposed upside might be.
It's a play on the song "All I want for Christmas is you"
Contrarian signal, for the sake of having a conversation:

- I think we will experience a massive deflationary bust. The inflation narrative is over, it’s all about a potential recession now.

- By Summer 2023 we will experience YoY deflation and the Fed will cut then, or even sooner in anticipation to that.

- We may see hikes pausing as soon as February, and cuts starting in the summer as a result of rapid disinflation (which may turn into deflation). Deflation is a lot worse than inflation.

- We find out that the bulk of inflation was indeed caused by supply chain bottlenecks. As China fully re-opens, those will be resolved.

- Russia’s war with Ukraine will end (Putin is now agreeing to potentially think about negotiations). Oil prices will ease
I don't pay much attention to washing the underside of such plates, and the washed plates don't seem to retain any noticeable dirt on the underside either. So I'm inclined to think there's not much of an actual problem.

Maybe if the household has that culture of not eating half of their portion, then there's a lot more excess food in play.

A few days ago Stanford published some guide on words you can't say like "American" and "grandfather", so it seems the universities are total opposites in their stances now.
This is a financial "scam": They sell "cooling credits", so you can pay them to recieve "cooling credits". So eg if you are a heavy polluter you can just pay them and say "hey, I payed them, they say their science is good, so we've offset our pollution".

The articles cleary states that their "science" (there is none) is dangerous since no-one knows what the potential side-effects could be. Eg how do you know that these particles won't accumulate in the atmosphere and cause over-cooling etc...

Horribly naive and dangerous.

You truly have to be a midwit to even think such a thing will have no unintended side-effects.
I'm sure you'll get through this!

Fizzy drinks are the devil, the occasional one won't kill you but drinking them with any regularity will have a distinct effect.

If you must drink them at all go down to a maximum of one a day. Then try to replace them with non sugared drinks. Fizzy water with half a lemon/lime squeezed in will do in a pinch.

If you want to scare yourself about the amount of sugar in a fizzy drink take a glass of water and see how many spoons of sugar you need to add before it tastes anything as sweet as a soda.

The future isn’t as certain as the last 200 years? Just in the previous century we had two world wars, followed by a period with serious threats of all out nuclear war. I’d say we’re not necessarily doing worse than that right now.

> who would ever want this?

Anyone who has ever asked anyone to prepare a list of anything.
I recently switched to Fastmail and have been happy with it so far.

The setup I’m using is:

- I have a mylastname.com domain. For serious accounts like my bank and insurance, I use companyname@accounts.mylastname.com.
- I also have a myrandomdomain.com. For most other online accounts I register with companyname@accounts.myrandomdomain.com.
- I have been playing with a sieve script to automatically create folders and categorise incoming mail for each address. It needs a couple of small tweaks still that I didn’t quite iron out before going away for a few days but should be pretty straightforward.
- In limited cases where I want more anonymity (eg. Facebook, Reddit, now Twitter), I create a masked email and set up a filter to put it into a folder myself.
- I use a different address to log in to my account instead of myfirstname@mylastname.com

For me this is a reasonable mix of security and convenience. Depending on your level of paranoia you could be slightly less paranoid (company@yourdomain.com or company@something.yourdomain.com), or more paranoid (use masked emails for everything - there is now integration for this in 1password so if you’re using that for a password manager it’s very easy to manage. I love the automatic categorisation using my own generated addresses gives though.
I honestly forget. I don't think they were ever on probation per se, but it's not like SH was blindsided. There was plenty of awareness that admin was increasingly unhappy. What I won't claim to understand is what pushed them over the line to actually doing it. I think it was more slow, evolutionary decreasing of tolerance for everything than any particular incident.

I'm bitter about the whole thing, and also the upcoming [renovation of EC](https://www.reddit.com/r/mit/comments/nfpumq/east_campus_is_...) (the next dorm over, physically and culturally). The building is realistically past due for some TLC, but it's hard not to feel like it's motivated from more than that.
This is news to me. Spent the last ten minutes checking it out. Fascinating.
Hah, funny! I genuinely did not notice until you mentioned it and I reread the sentence using ‘are’.

Extra funny because I’ve been caught noticing myself using english plurals in my native language. (so for 'lantaarnpaal' the plural would be 'lantaarnpalen' but I’ve been saying 'lantaarnpaals')

I guess it might just be how language evolves, it’s interesting to see it happen. I wonder if grammar books will ever adjust to these changes?

I think we are in a golden age of games personally. You can argue prices of new games have gone up, or have got worse, or whatever. And that may be true, but there are many many thousands of great games released over the last few decades that are great. Board games don't necessarily get better with new releases, the technology largely remains the same.

I’ve encountered a few… obsessive people like what OP describes. College costs too much to maximize your time in it, but between taking a bare minimum number of courses and staying below the retake limit there were some really strange people who managed to stick around longer than 4 years. One guy was a personal thorn in my side for my entire tenure as president of a hobby student org because he had some beef with a previous administration years prior of whom all were long graduated. Found out later he was like 9 years into his degree yet spent most of his time trying to be influential among hobby student orgs.

I recommend something like this, take your monthly net income and try to stick to something like this:

- allocate if possible max 25% into rent and for other recurring expenses (I know that this can be a challenge)

- (low risk): save 20% (into a basic savings account)

- (medium risk): invest 10% in ETFs; plain vanilla S&P500 is a good start

- (high risk): invest up to 5% in crowdfunding sites like Seedrs.com or in similar high risks assets such as Crypto

- spend and enjoy life with the rest (40%)

The challenge is of course the fixed expenses, when you are just starting out those will represent a big part of your expenditure. As such, adjust the other parts accordingly and gradually work towards the allocation I described above as your income increases over time.

Another life hacker tip: use a service like Revolut and let it round your change and put into a Vault. Use these savings to save or invest. While the daily amounts are small, it accumulates over time and it feels good to know that every time you spend something you save a bit.

When you hit 30s, you will have a solid saving and investment portfolio, thanking your 20 year old you.

> I don't actually how much it costs to run a DHT node, or even who's paying for them today

By default all BitTorrent clients are acting as DHT nodes (if they can receive inbound UDP packets). You can disable it in the options, but most don't (unless for private trackers on per-torrent basis).
I don't think anyone actually runs a DHT node like Tor exit nodes (except researchers and search engines like BTDigg).
My thoughts: the command line crowd didn't need it, the rest of the world didn't want it. We were about to get rid of Word Perfect and its obnoxious command keys and nobody was unhappy about it. Why get a fairly expensive dedicated machine that wasn't graphical? It looks like it didn't have games either. Perhaps it could have been a good fit for some office work. I don't think it had much of a chance of changing computing, let alone the world.

It sounds trivial, but people really like eye candy. Anything new has to look appealing, even if only superficially.
I very much second this book. I'm not sure it teaches anything groundbreaking/new, but just seeing the words on a page was hugely valuable to me in the same sort of way that saying the things that rattle around in your head out loud to a therapist is. It really helped me gain some clarity on my own direction.
Given the information currently available, probably not, but that doesn't mean they should be silenced.

> As some one who lives under a blasphemy culture, I think American greatly take for granted their freedoms of speech, and it boggles me that this is not a corner stone of the American Left.

I am not an American, but my own observation as a leftist of the situation there is that there's what I'd call the 'performative left' and the 'real/old school left' if you will with the second camp being mainly about economic issues, class solidarity, foreign policy, freedom of expression etc. (say Chomsky, Richard Wolf), but much smaller than the performative left, (student activists trying to deplatform etc.), which is the one the right loves because they give them so much material to work with.

That part of the right on the other hand claims to be pro free speech but ends up not behaving anything like it, aka Elon Musk.

Important to note that 'alternatives' will not mean 'replacement'.

USD will the remain dominant and preferred currency in terms of global transaction value but will lose relative market share. This is the inevitable consequence of the weaponisation of the dollar - countries who are concerned about national sovereignty / security will be setting up back-up channels with partner countries in case they are the next to be targeted. Global trade will get more complicated, more regionalised, therefore more expensive, leading to more inflation. New normal, as we say
The problem is that even if there weren’t brain drain, you’d still have less progress now because institutions trend towards bureaucratic risk “management” that all but neuters talent. You could have someone 2x an Einstein or an Oppenheimer and they will never produce what either of those two did because the institutions they would work for today are fundamentally different than the ones Einstein and Oppenheimer worked for during WWII.
That is an assertion about one particular construction of the reals, in a particular topos, which implies something on the constructed set in that topos.

I'd argue that that set, resulting from carrying out Dedekind cuts in a particular topos, is not in fact the set of real numbers. But I also agree that it means the property of uncountability for the set of real numbers as we understand it in set theoretic terms cannot be proved intuitionistically. And I'm fine with that.
This is not how it works. The AP is not actually responding to or reflecting the radar ping so the range detection won't work. If it even sees it it'll show up as a line from the center of the radar screen in the direction of the AP. It won't pinpoint it. But most likely it'll just add to the noise floor.

It'll still be possible to locate it with that info but it's more work unless you manage to interfere with two radars and they can triangulate. That's pretty unlikely for an indoor access point with only a few milliwatts though.
My largest current holding is Exxon, because, globally, oil is the source of most things like it or not. I was holding Tesla too, I skipped out mid crash, sadly, I wish he’d focus on his core business (I only bought Tesla because of spaceX too!!) I would think own a Tesla car - hard to say why, there’s just something not quite right with them for me. I have a few smaller oil companies and some banks, I keep tasting Amazon, but always leaves a bad taste !! Really Amazon, Christmas should be you biggest opportunity

One of our non unicorn competitors just raised ~200M in a niche where 100M+ seed rounds are usually something you raise after you become a unicorn in a series D or something. There still are crazy investors out there but they are crazy about more specific things than say three years ago.
It really depends on how the climate crisis will unfold.

We’re on par for well over 2 degrees of warming with no real solution in sight, so it remains to be seen how everything will turn out.
Case in point: Covid killed 6M people (0.0008% of world's population). 200 years ago, it would have been much much higher.

* There will be an increasingly severe recession. The response will greatly weaken the dollar, leading to a resurgence of inflation despite the sinking economy, a widespread feeling that America's best days are firmly behind it, and even greater animosity between those of different political persuasions.

* China will attempt to distract its population from their growing unrest, and to take advantage of a weakened America, by being more aggressive, including increasingly bold actions against Taiwan.

* Jeff Bezos will run for president on a platform of bringing courage and civility back to politics, as well as the promise of improving the economy. The severity of the recession will result in him being received with must less hostility than might have been expected.

Just a quick addition: note the care taken to avoid using the word "set" in your excerpts. My objection was with the submission's current title ("The countable set of real numbers"). It still stands.

I have pondered the idea of removing a lot of the cars and how it would happen. Then I started looking into Lithium mining (and how that has to come from water in mass quantities by 2030 if politicians are to succeed of their lofty goals.

Politicians, for the most part, fail to do anything well. This will be no exception. So how do they reach the goal?

Outlaw ICE vehicles.

Slowly but surely you will see less and less cars on the road. The income needed to own a car will go up. Any government incentives will be eaten by increasing prices (as happened with Ford not even a week after a rebate was announced.)

Just a guess of course.

If it could be OK for you other than that, there is usually a timeout setting that can be applied before it is recognised as a press.

For example, any press under 200ms is ESC, anything over will register as Ctrl. The timeout can be adjusted to work and not capture that time that you press it but then decide you don't want it.

Indeed. The actual fiduciary duty of company directors is to serve the interests of the company, not shareholders/profits.
