Your equation assumes the vaccine prevents you from getting covid, which it doesn’t. Many people I know got covid multiple times after being vaccinated. So the risk of long term effects from covid are baked in. On top of that, you add any additional risks from the vaccine.
It’s really rather ironic that those types of cops are usually also located among the very same kind of people who demand that we only rely in the police for all things like some kind of parent as if they could be a good parent at that.

It’s always struck me as a kind of underdevelopment, a continuation of the infantilism that so many never get over as the move from being taken care of their parents to Taken care of by school and then Taken care of by universities and then taken care of by Acme corporation that claims to really care about them. Of course that works love being taken care of by big government and its plantation formen called police.

> . If you rent a $1500/mo apartment you actually have managed $18k of debt.

I agree. And slowly credit scores are starting to take rent into account.

> There's no difference at all for someone who works a dayjob.

But there is a difference. If you put your living expenses on a $500/mo credit card, you can have a $120k job and be eating ramen, living in a flophouse and spending the rest on drugfs or supporting people who cannot work. You cannot afford to service a mortgage. If you commonly service larger debts, then they don't have to worry about hidden things sapping all your funds.
They still look pretty crazy to me! https://www.fdic.gov/bank/historical/bank/index.html

When Chase, BofA, and Citigroup are all offering approximately 0.0000% APY on their CDs, and it's credit unions that are offering 3+% (you should be shooting for at least 4% right now), it's not clear that big banks are actually better than a smaller, community-focused bank or credit union.

I double checked, and it turns out they all have a couple of products offering closer to 4.5% APY, but the tables on those linked pages still have far too many numbers like 0.05% APY on them to be taken seriously.

I've also had situations where _only_ neverssl.com wouldn't load but other http sites would switch to https with an invalid cert error. It's really weird.
I've seen it take anywhere from thirty seconds to a few minutes-- probably depending on server load. And there's never any real feedback that anything's happening (a "you're in the queue" message or something like that would be really nice).

Once it's loaded, it'll change to a 3D flythrough of the selected bridge with a "Click anywhere to continue" message at the bottom. Clicking stops the flythrough and lets you move around (with fairly standard FPS controls).

Except since the vaccines don’t prevent you from getting covid, the long term risks you’re comparing are: risks from covid versus risks from covid plus risks from the vaccine.

There isn't that much that I'd do in a TPM 3.0:

- encrypt all command and response parameters instead of up to just one

- add a version of TPM2_Quote() that encrypts and signs so one can have ciphertext that one can demonstrate were made by a TPM encrypting to a restricted, shielded key

- add a small secure enclave facility

- add more EC algorithms, EdDSA, etc.

- add more cipher modes for AES

- increase RAM and NVRAM requirements

All of this can be done incrementally in 2.x, so calling it 3.0 would be just marketing (perhaps pretty good marketing).
Correct, but that's not my point. I'm not saying Intel copied Apple, I'm saying that it surprised me that of the thousands of English words (and indeed millions of inventable words) Intel chose to pick one recently used by a quasi-competitor. They're entitled to, of course. But if I were Intel I would be cautious about avoiding a perceived pattern because I wouldn't want to unintentionally give off follower vibes.

It's like Ford naming their electric car division "Ford Model e" which can be justified as a callback to the Ford Model T, but is also weird considering the product names of Tesla vehicles, and because it's a weird name for a corporate division. It gives off follower vibes.
Is it also possible that MS has a "budget" to promote Edge as the default/only option among its enterprise customers -- you know, supplying the IT departments with marketing material, mailers, talking points, and all sorts of "incentives" for adoption.

I ask because we saw a huge campaign by our corporate IT (large 50,000+ userbase) recently to eliminate Chrome for all company assets -- with mailers touting the superior security features of Edge.

If they simply said we cannot / donot want to support multiple browsers -- it would be forgivable. But the mailers seemed to be rather persistent in justifying why Edge -- sounding like PR from MS.

The conspiracy theory is wild, and seems to be based largely on the changing of the name, but if you read the patch, it's dependent on the file.

The comments on the review that were rejected by the author could easily be the conditions that changed and a plausible cause.

The whole thing smells like sensationalist FUD, particularly given the content of this patch.

Would getting a summary from ChatGPT with a prompt to eliminate clickbait/bias be helpful before evaluating the event?
How do you decide how aggressively to summarize? That is, a 200-word summary of an 800-word article is very different from a 200-word summary of a 5,000-word article.

Relatedly, it would be neat if you had a slider or +/- buttons for each article summary, so someone could choose their depth based on how interesting the title sounds.
I don't quite understand the convenience, R2 and the other services are already quite easy to use. I wrote a simple wrapper that exposes the same API: https://github.com/stillmatic/storage-wrapper/blob/main/stor...

The wrapper is pretty straightforward, I can see how it's a teensy bit simpler to have Vercel manage things for you, but it's not really much easier...
FWIW, I think the size of the insolvency is more telling of the failure than the AUM. E.g. First Republic was about ~$13B in the hole when it was taken over. Otherwise a large bank with a large hole looks way worse than a small bank with a huge hole.
I mention a figure and that automatically assumes "flamewar"?

Just a thought, but perhaps it's the small community and independent culture of Julia that has led to the high quality of its software. Small groups of highly passionate people can accomplish a lot! If I recall the history correctly, scientific Python (numpy, scipy, etc) developed similarly at first and has mostly supplanted Matlab, Fortran, and other tools. There was a point in time when Python was considered niche and not for "serious" work :).
First, you can totally carry a phone in airplane mode or a tablet without cellular capabilities. Or you can scan with a tablet from a known location (e.g. the office) and regularly do so.

Second, the threat model isn't new. Tiles have had the same capability for a long time. GPS trackers that use cellular to report your location are about as big as an AirTag (although more expensive).

But finally, this is something a lot of people want to have. We need laws to punish their misuse, but ultimately banning them would impact other people's rights.
That was my first thought. If I walked outside and saw some douchebag in a paperboy hat writing on my vehicle with a permanent marker I would start throwing rocks at them. The little game of fraud cat and mouse I play is between me and the government.

At least given the append-only nature, the data loss should be bounded.

For some reason, many databases that overwrite data support disabling journaling and/or fsync. E.g. SQLite has "pragma journal = off". You can lose the entire database from an ill-timed crash, if one important page gets written but another doesn't. To their credit, it's not the default, and the documentation is explicit about this:

> If the application crashes in the middle of a transaction when the OFF journaling mode is set, then the database file will very likely go corrupt.

IMO-PSA: Procrastination is one of the worst words you can use to describe [1] something you want to have more control over. This word should really be shown the figurative door, for all the trouble it has caused.

I've written hundreds of articles on productivity, helped lots of people stop procrastinating, and my #1 thing these days is--if you are procrastinating, that word has to go.

Really, as far as most procrastinators are concerned, you might as well call procrastination "Autogyro Congee 4000" because at least that rewording might seem novel enough to warrant some hope.

Additionally, procrastination is over-weighted and over-diagnosed online, in part due to the fraught nature of the topic as experienced by people who are online when they feel they shouldn't be. This has always been a thing.

People in the grip of procrastination will also get passionate AF and cross all kinds of unhealthy boundaries to project their latent frustration with their own procrastination onto others' situations, so you get massive overdoses of anecdata, instead of like...curious questions or ideas of flexible approaches for example.

IMO if bedtime procrastination is really a pressing issue for someone, it should be re-worded to include specific, relevant detail instead. In desperate cases, the first, most desperate rewording should probably even involve solution-referencing words:

- I've got the haven't-planned-tomorrow itch again

- I have the didnt-take-melatonins

- My work boundaries suck once more

These will at least keep the tractable parts of the situation in focus.

Most important of all, if you are procrastinating and hating it, please know that there are easily thousands of fixes. (It's great to see the interventions listed in the wiki article)

You are attributing a lot of agency to different players.

They generally aren't that monolithic.

You seem to be conflating shortage and scarcity, which generally aren't the same.

It's an interesting theory but I'd like to see some evidence.

For instance, the general consensus is the supply chain issue is from Lean manufacturing which, although has a lower overall cost, trades that off with a much lower tolerance for disruptions. It presumes availability and it turns out these supply lines were both much longer and more delicate then presumed.

You can see that in practice. Monolithic traditional manufacturing didn't have such issues. Things like paper products for instance. When the demand for toilet paper shot up in March 2020, the supply was able to meet it within days, compared to the years for electronics and automobiles.

These are pretty studied topics in the journals. You seem to be interested. They're pretty approachable. Go check them out.
The problem with tying encryption to the serial number is that it becomes harder to distribute the material in the first place - either you need to know the serial number of the device you're going to put a drive into so you can pre-encrypt the data, or you need to have extra code to encrypt the data on first boot (and then make very sure that first boot happens in the factory). Moving to a static key makes it much easier to handle all of this. Anyone who's able to reverse engineer the system well enough to obtain a static key would probably be able to figure out the dynamic algorithm anyway, so the practical outcome isn't terribly different.

The difference between a ponzi and real finance is mostly lying.

In a Ponzi you lie about asset growth. In real investments you report real asset growth. If the system fails it won't be because people lied about what their assets were. It might be because they mis-estimated what those assets were worth. But that isn't a Ponzi.

Crucially though, it is actually possible for assets to grow. As long as there is new good business to finance, the whole thing doesn't need to be zero sum. And annoyingly, growing business is so much faster with a conplex financial system, that countries with such financial systems stand no chance. So even if you don't like the risk and excess in a complex financial system, it's really hard to go without.

Hi! I'm Gonza, I've enjoyed playing League for a while but lately I've been playing more ARAM and less Summoner's Rift.

I found that most stats websites don't show stats for ARAM or show very limited ones, so I created ARAM Zone, a website focused on ARAM.

It's similar to other stats-based websites but I've tried to add my own extra twist to it. Specifically, for champion details and the champion tierlist screens I've divided champions by the main rune and first item bought. AP Malphite is VERY different than tank Malphite so I thought it was silly to group them as one. In Malphite's case, AP builds have 45-49% win rate and tank builds 55-60% win rate, which is very relevant info when deciding what to build!

You can also search for your Summoner name and see your personal stats on ARAM :)

Anyways, if there are any League fans here and you give it a shot let me know what you think!
Not in a 3 year period you don't build much equity. Equity is built more in the later years. After the first 3 years, on a 188k house at 6% interest over 30 years they will have accumulated a little over $5,800 in equity. Less than the realtor fees would be (except this was a direct sale). Not nothing, but at that point well worth crunching the numbers on renting vs. buying.
Loading performance improvements would be great. Took several seconds for anything other than the title to load.

Maybe pull a low-res thumbnail of the first frame for each gif while loading.

You may be able to use a virtual list to make performance even better as users rapidly scroll (but not as impactful as just loading a frame quickly).

It most certainly does. The VSTs that sit in the fx chains are the modules. Parallel fx chains in the same track are handled by a (quite terrible) pin based system. Then beyond that there's the usual sends and side chains.

Hollywood Writers on Strike Grapple with AI’s Role in Creative Process
The "call to arms" is great but doesn't really offer any ideas.

There are alternatives already and if they are not getting enough use, there must be reasons. What are they?

I don't enjoy this in PRs either. Someone says "this is not good" or "let's not do X". Great, what do you propose instead?

The proposal here is to "let's not not do something" but that's not strong enough, especially if the author is not a strong figure.

It also makes me question, did git happen because people in general hated svn? There were lots of haters of svn and cvs and the others but it didn't happen until Linus had a clear vision of what was missing and what would replace the existing tools
