If you are a little patient, you can pick up an Avid mBox3 for ~$50 including shipping off eBay or Reverb (mine was $30). They are USB class compliant, built solid, and have high quality electronics consistent with a $500 price when new...two mic preamps with 70db gain for ribbon mics. They also do direct input and have additional jacks on the front...you could spend a lot more and do worse on an audio interface. [1] Avid is a high end company.

But of course, I am advocating used gear.

[1]: Also makes a pretty good headphone pre-amp that just needs USB power (like from a power brick).

Since the main purpose of the warrant canary is to be able to inform the public of being served one if they are gagged, I indeed think non-gagging warrants aren't super relevant for them, but it also doesn't matter much that they are included: the next warrant canary can simply say "we got a routine warrant, asking for X information; no other warrants have been served". Whether that is then interesting or not is up to the public to decide.

In fact, if they didn't inform the public of regular warrants, only (indirectly, via the warrant canary) when they were gagged, it might incentivize the government to only serve regular warrants instead of NSLs, which surely isn't the intention.

If regular warrants happen often, I guess they could make a separate mechanism to inform the public about them, but I guess it doesn't, so far? In any case, if they aren't gagging, they wouldn't need a canary to inform the public about them.
Hard to tell if something is permanent. But the fact remains that some people didn't get their senses back yet despite getting first infected with covid years ago.
I wish this could be turned off altogether.
I feel like the paper map comparison is a red herring. Most people who are in favour of the UK’s rule against ‘interacting with a device while driving’ would probably also say you should pull over before messing with a paper map too; it’s probably just much harder to legislate for that (or maybe less necessary because people do that so rarely). No one is arguing that using a paper map while driving is safer.

Not that I necessarily support the legislation, I lean pretty libertarian, I just don’t take your argument that it’s ‘obviously’ safer to let people use phones in their cars because otherwise they’ll use paper maps. That’s just not what happens. What actually happens is either they interact with their phone more briefly and surreptitiously to avoid detection by police, or they just pull over and interact with their phone at the side of the road before getting going again. Either way I suspect the law has the desired effect of reducing the amount people are distracted while driving.
Personally, I think Sublime Text and VSCode's feature to search for a command (Cmd-Shift-P, Ctrl-Shift-P) strikes the right balance for discoverability within a large set of commands in a GUI app. I wish the feature was standard in all GUI apps. I wish macOS provided the feature for GUI apps as part of its menu bar implementation.

Despite being illegal forcibly getting someone addicted isn’t treated seriously at all. Unlike murder where there is a missing person or a body to show that a crime has taken place you with forced addiction you now have the addicts word which is considered inherently unreliable.

I’m more worried about organized crime/political corruption than I am about freely available drugs, but organized crime has all sorts of ways to make money so I don’t think we’ll be rid of it that easily. I think people underestimate the prevalence of how much corruption still exists. I even think it’ll get worse as fewer non-compromised people want to take police jobs.

Also prohibition ended 1933 but the major crackdown on gangsters was in 1970 due to a long period of federal government inaction.

> If your car doesn't have any internet connected software, then there is no mechanism to make a feature artificially scarce

Here are things which were actually shipped for decades prior to internet restrictions:

* charging for updates to mapping, and later GPS, software

* restricting features based on physical dongles

* restricting features based on dates (don’t forget that times can be set passively using radio so you can’t just easily roll the clock back)

* restricting features based on use counts (anyone think some MBA isn’t dreaming of “pay $1000 for 200 crush-it™ acceleration boosts!”)

* having some indicator of feature use (burnt out fuse, EEPROM, etc.) so using something you haven’t licensed means you can’t get any official service or warranty claims

Beyond that, we’re talking about controls. Touchscreens are not internet access and there’s no reason to think the two would be linked here when they aren’t in any other area.
> The Yimby (“Yes In My Back Yard”) movement in the US has sprung up to fight for less restrictive zoning and more housing, often coming up against Nimby (“Not In My Back Yard”) opponents. Broadly, this is a contest of ideals against self-interest,

No, its not. Fundamentally, this contrast is nonsense because “ideals” and “self-interest” amount to the same thing, personal preferences, depending on whether you focus upon the experienced utility fron fulfilling them (“self-interest”) or the fact yhat the elements of personal utility functions can be decomposed into rules (“ideals”).

But even in the superficial view where this contrast in general seems to make sense, YIMBYs are quite often people who have a perceived narrow financial self-interest in reduced housing prices, while NIMBYs (in a policy sense, the name imputes a particular motive and relation to the policy area that can be inaccurate) are often people who idealize the protection of existing character even in places they don’t currently live.
They have a page on it here: https://www.patagonia.com/stories/an-update-on-microfiber-po...

The short of it is that all product manufacturing has an impact on the environment, and they are investing in minimizing their impact over time.

Something they note is that the biggest way to reduce impact is to create longer lasting and high quality products, because the less frequently you need to buy something the less pollution you create.
I agree using the touchscreen is annoying on occasion; but more legislation I’m totally opposed. We’d get much worse results over time as bad practices are enforced by the largest of car companies to further prevent new stuff from being tried.

Honestly having the m3 dash clear of the clutter and most features on automatic gives me personally more focus on road and those around me. But yeah hitting the rear defroster is more inconvenient.
Something that following the progress of COVID vaccines really taught me is that vaccines have an important role in reducing the severity of a disease in addition to stopping them outright. I'd much rather get a mild flu than a moderate flu, let alone a severe one.

This seems to be particularly true for fast-acting viral respiratory diseases. Our immune systems seem to have soft biological limits on how well they can prevent them.
I'm gonna add it those days
This describes biological evolution well too.

However, I wonder how this works for physical things, how does one create a simple version of a train or bridge? Some things have a complexity floor.
In current times you cannot really forget/ignore the background of projects. Like some parts of the fedi are quite agressive at it e.g., auto-banning instances using Soapbox. One may want to know this background while reading a software release.
That's nice, and I'm sure your code is just lovely, but there's just one of you and millions of people writing C++ who can't do that but can just about manage some simple RAII.
You can do this with containers, or, if the price point is right, with VMs for even more isolation.

There are levels of multi-tenancy:

* logical multi-tenancy, where isolation is enforced in code and the database (every table has a 'tenant id' key)

* container level multi-tenancy, where you run separate containers and possibly in different namespaces

* virtual machine multi-tenancy, where there are different VMs for each tenant and you can use network isolation as well (NACLs, security groups)

* hardware isolation, similar to virtual machine, but you use separate hardware. Hard to scale this with software, though using something like Equinix metal might work: https://www.equinix.com/products/digital-infrastructure-serv...

These each have different tradeoffs in upgradeability, operations cost and isolation.
Thank you for the feedback.

My employer has nurses on staff which used to give the flu vaccine. Now that more people are remote and every Walgreens, CVS, Walmart and grocery store with a pharmacy gives them with no charge to those with insurance they have stopped giving it at work. It was convenient to just take the elevator a couple of floors and get the vaccine during lunch.

They self-insure so it not only reduced time taken because of illness but reduced their insurance costs.

Some questions, I've found each of these to have significant impact on comfort levels:

- Stand in one position for a long time? (I've found it's best to not stand in the exact same position for too long)

- Leaning / putting your weight on the desk?

- Using an external keyboard or are you using the laptop keyboard?

- Do you have a rubber mat or soft carpet surface under your feet?

I'm no MD (except for computers :p), but if your lower back is hurting perhaps consider looking at your foot situation, maybe different / more supportive shoes or standing surface.

It took me 3-6 months of consistent usage before the standing desk situation felt comfortable and natural. Now I hate sitting at a desk, it's uncomfortable (hah).
Part of the difference is compositor integration for sure, but there's also design decisions that factor in, like how Safari has throttled JS in non-active tabs for years, where Chrome only started doing this last year. One gets the impression that Google at least is more concerned with Chrome being an attractive app platform than they are with it being responsible with user resources.
In both public sector and private sector places I have worked, management usually was, at best, dead weight. More often than not, management was an active impediment of getting work done for the ordinary worker doing the actual productive work of the institution.

At one place, a director and the VP she reported to both retired. A temporary director was hired under contract who was mostly hands-off (and remote), but she immediately fired the manager who was her direct report. The group I worked in had reported to the fired manager.

Without managers, productivity soared. We literally got more accomplished in a year without managers than we did in the prior five years combined. All of our deferred maintenance issues, some dating back over a decade, were addressed in the first 6 months of being freed of the managers.

Sadly, it didn't last. They re-hired the full hierarchy of positions. And, the pace of work ground to a halt. Quality of work also suffered due to the artificial deadlines imposed by the managers-- combined with their shifting priorities based on which other manager(s) it was most politically expedient for them to please on any given day.

At another, the new VP of marketing said in a meeting, about 9 months into his tenure, "What?! We're a software company?" Imagine all the value he must have added for those prior nine months.
OK, but now we're not "killing" the canary when we're served with a court order, we're training it to sing a different song. Part of the idea of a canary is that the simplicity of ceasing a continuous public assertion has more legal protections than simply violating a gag order would.

At the point where you're logging warrants, you're not doing a canary, you're doing a transparency report. The transparency reports we read are, as I understand it, the product of negotiations between companies and the DOJ.
Row v. Wade was not decided on anything like the purported logic making warrant canaries illegal. Roe v Wade found that the right to privacy includes medical decisions, or similar. That’s a far cry from a criminal court finding a defendant guilty because they achieved an end that was supposed to be illegal but which no actual statute made illegal.

Also gag orders aren’t perpetual. If there were orders compelling businesses to lie, past examples would have come to light the same way we know gag orders exist.

You’re correct [1]. The vaccine mainly aims to reduce the frequency and intensity of illness.

> which meant that feature was useless in the suburbs.

I bought my kids a box of cybikos on eBay. My daughters gave them to their neighborhood friends so they could chat, and the FM transceiver had a range of 300-500 ft, so they had our whole suburban neighborhood chatting. There were a couple of good games. The real problem was batteries. They used prismatic batteries which were simply hard to get, and the batteries would die after about 8 months of use. If I bought at a local store, the battery would be $30 per cell, but if I bought a box online, I could get 144 for $50. I paid $50 for the box of cybikos!

That's the thing. The Sharpe Ratio looks at a catastrophic situation and says it's ok. It's not appropriately scoring risk!

Let's say the risk-free rate of return is 3%.

Asset 1:

Every year, with 99% probability you get 8% return, and with 1% probability you get -100% return, i.e., you lose everything. This has an expected return of 7%, which is 4% above risk-free; the standard deviation is 0.1; and the Sharpe Ratio is 0.36. But the exponential of the mean log annual multiplier is zero; you will eventually lose everything.

Asset 2:

With 90% probability you get the risk-free rate of 3%, and with 10% probability, you get a 10,000% return (multiply balance by 101). Yes, this has a good average return of 1,000%, but it also has a giant standard deviation of 30, so its Sharpe Ratio is slightly worse, at 0.33. But, the exponential of the mean log multiplier is 1.62, which means that over time it will have a 62% annual return. Moreover, it literally never goes down; there's no risk.

Asset 3:

You just take the "risk free rate of return" at 3%.

Surely, the best choice is Asset 2. It's literally Asset 3 plus free lottery tickets. But it has the worst Sharpe Ratio of the three. And Asset 1, which has the flavor of some prudent tradeoff, is actually guaranteed to bankrupt you eventually.
I'm with you. Even using the most expensive Avocado I could find at the Whole Foods in the smallest container I'd still only be spending $0.30 on a tablespoon, which is enough to cook a meal for 1-4 people in a cast iron pan. Doing this makes me feel a lot better than having to worry about the temperature of a teflon-coated pan.

It seems like an oversimplification to imply all processing exists on a gradient with no significant lines we can draw between one type and another. E.g. content identification has a pretty clear qualitative difference from whatever "dumb" mappings do to get from RAW to values in some color space. One isn't just "more processing" and the other "less processing", colloquially.

Fyi enterprises and medium to small business are different. Enterprise you really do need to love sales, small business you have to know sales but it's much less annoying.
A SAAB (It's SAAB, Svenska Aeroplan/Automobile AB) 95 wouldn't be too different from a car of today though, with superb ride quality, turbocharger, proper deformation zones, extra reinforced A-pillars (moose protection), automatic angle adjustment of front lights (when loading heavy in the trunk), FWD. These are things on top of my head that no "regular" car (that'd be Volvo, I'm Swedish) had at that time (many cheaper cars still don't) that "most" cars has today.

My father rides one, and the only different things I'd say are where the key and the window buttons are located, the rest is just like any car you'd buy today, except it's 15-20 years old. "It's a human right to feel safe"!

EDIT: What I'm saying is, back then people couldn't afford luxury cars, but that market has boomed since SAAB went out. Volvo used to be "the workers car" in Sweden (still is I guess), but they went from being "cheap and reliable" to expensive and like everything else.
I don't want the flu vaccine for neigher me nor my children. I want us to get sick and our immune systems to take care of the flu together with some garlic, hot tea and down time. At the same time the adults are vaccinated for COVID and our children are vaccinated for the usual stuff that will kill them.

I think that my employer really wants to avoid any downtime of his workforce and suggests a flu vaccination every year. I think that some downtime is good for my wellbeing and that I don't wan't to be more effective.

In the US, isn't the main lobbying on behalf of this coming from industrial agriculture that has become addicted to the renewable fuel standard, which mandates that ethanol be added to gasoline, providing welfare for the ethanol industry at the expense of petroleum refiners (and eventually the driving public)? A good first step to end this idea would be to drop the mandate the same way the subsidies and tariffs supporting ethanol production were dropped.

B: resulting from feeling rather than reason or thought

Ritual:
1: the established form for a ceremony

B: a ceremonial act or action

But that's not the argument that was used as a start of this thread. It was literally "I know somebody who got a vaccine side effects and I know somebody (myself) who survived many flu seasons without problems".

Sure, you're pointing out one mechanism that nudges things the other way.

But there is also a strong psychological mechanism that makes people fearful of vaccines no matter what.

What if this mechanism may cause people to use exaggerate the effects of the various flaws/bad incentives you pointed out?
