Why aren't mastodon and threads cutting it? They provide exactly what you claim you want.

Leads me to believe for a lot of people, the allure of Twitter isn't actually anything intentional, but just the combination of being at the right place at the right time - that feeling you got, the relationships you fostered. Just like if you were on Tumblr during its independent peak.
Which was projected to be the trajectory from the start. Transmissible diseases usually mutate to be less deadly over time, because killing the host is a bad reproduction strategy. Spanish Flu is still here today, it's just not crazy deadly anymore.

It's just not guaranteed to be monotonic (particular strains can bump lethality upwards), and it doesn't help the people who die early on to the stronger strains, especially with an overloaded medical system.

Like, we don't have hospitals overflowing into makeshift tent farms outside with freezer trucks used to handle the overload of bodies until the crematoriums can get around to them anymore, either. It's definitely trended towards reduced lethality over time.
>Parasites usually enter the body through the: Mouth, Skin

So, in other words, parasites can enter the body through just about any tissue.
A corona virus can't give you an flu like a in-flu-enza virus
Instead of individual passengers, why not weigh everything together - passenger + luggage + carry-on + etc? That way you don't have to embarrass some people.
In my experience the issue is not about taking it seriously, I've rarely met someone totally unconcerned in real life. The real issue is what to do about it, how to do it and in what timeframe.

With these wet bulb events and the breathless death counts in the media people get the impression that heat waves are bigger killers than cold winters, when it's the opposite (and if you include indirect and long-term deaths by an order of magnitude).

There are also some serious and well connected organizations advancing plans that I can only see as attempted mass murder. If your plan projects no cargo ships by 2035 you will kill millions from the fragility of food supply chains alone.

If you want to reduce fertilizer use, fine. Better targeting and smarter application can reduce the consumption by at least 30%. But if you want to use no fertilizer you will kill billions.

Even the more grounded and non-murderous proposals have some serious question marks. Electrify almost all energy use by running 300% overproduction of renewables, to be stored in batteries and pump storage that isn't even planned yet while at the same time increasing electricity demand by 400%? Yea sure that will get done in 30 years, no problem.

The climate doomers always insist that the extinction event will be caused by climate change destroying food supply. But crops can be bred, new areas can be cultivated and ressource use reduced. The fact that 6 billion of us only exists thanks to chemical fertilizer, mechanized agriculture and amazing seed variants is not open to argument though.
> Now that covid is endemic it's just another flu.

But it's not. I'd rather get the flu than covid.
That is one heck of a theory.
I mean, that last point is - again - normal for everyone. There's a reason "hangry" is a term. I had that same experience on semaglutide where I had to actually remember to eat...and drink water too, though I don't know if that's normal. That was novel to me.

None of us can live in eachother's bodies so we'll never know how everyone else experiences things. I have tried that medication though, and what it does to you isn't just putting you in line with my normal lived experience, nor my (skinny) wife's from what she tells me about how she feels about food.

Again, by all means, take it. If I were in your shoes I probably would too, and I wouldn't feel all that bad about it. Just don't think it's that easy for most of us normal-weight people to not eat. It's not, and it takes work every day.

I will say though, once I got a standing desk + treadmill it became a lot easier. They say you can't outexercise what you eat, but it's a lot easier when you're burning 1,000 calories a day walking. If you have that opportunity I'd recommend it.

Meanwhile, we've got ISPs like MetroNet removing support for IPV6 in markets that previously had it, and entering new markets with CGNAT (many customers with 1 IP) as default.
I don't think that's true at all. If there's time-to-market pressure (for example), then you really want that $2000 team to deliver on time. "Saving" the $1000 failing team with a $100 scrum master may not be good enough.

Also, please at least acknowledge that your numbers are completely made up and may have no basis in reality. It might be a $1000 team only if they deliver on time, but the overages might push that to $5000. Or whatever. See, I can completely make up numbers to support my point too.
Meh. When I interviewed at Amazon, I learned that "tree" was the only data structure. If you have a memory of something called a linked list, you're obviously wrong. Other things I learned from Amazon interviews are that queuing and control theory don't exist and there are only two programming languages: C++ and Python.

I do not work at Amazon.

I think what I'm saying is a large company like Amazon has figured out how to get by with a small subset of "historical" CS knowledge. Maybe .edu is responding to industry needs by only teaching kids the three or four concepts they need to pass an interview at Amazon.
I live in the town that's the home of the UFO sightings that led to Hynek's infamous "swamp gas" dismissal.

It's highly amusing to me that even that story is incorrect:

"After studying the reports, Hynek offered a provisional hypothesis for some of the sightings: a few of about 100 witnesses had mistaken swamp gas for something more spectacular. At the press conference where he made his announcement, Hynek repeatedly and strenuously stated that swamp gas was a plausible explanation for only a portion of the Michigan UFO reports, and certainly not for UFO reports in general. But much to his chagrin, Hynek's qualifications of his hypothesis were largely overlooked, and the term swamp gas was repeated ad infinitum in relation to UFO reports. The explanation was subject to national derision."
Have you looked at the CppFront[1] project by Herb Sutter? It's less of a completely new language like Carbon. It's meant to be C++ with a "nicer" syntax, while providing 100% linking compatibility, and with 100% source backward compatibility available when desired.

Then we can also say that pulling fire alarm leaver is hacking.
While end devices are usually behind NATs, most ISPs out there still ensure that every customer has a unique public facing IP address which is tied to them long term. My own residential IP (with Comcast) hasn't changed in years.
OK, so now "right to repair" extends up into the component supply chain?
AP is not FSD, and aside from some early years it has been a standard no-extra-charge option on every Tesla produced.

And 15K may not be a fortune for some people, but wealthy people don't get that way by being frivolous with their money and a 15-35% bump in the cost of a car is definitely going to be noticed.
They did provide protection against infection initially, and did so very effectively.

It was not known at the time whether that protection would maintain or not, nobody knew how the virus would mutate.
I was driving up to my country home from work one day at 33 when it hit me. I will never experience anything better than I already have. Beautiful loving wife, a healthy boy and girl, a quiet country home. Peace, security, food, clean water, a comfortable home and friends, boundless education.

I was right. It was all down hill from there. I make twenty times more money now, and it only matters to me as a way to prevent my family from want. The best has come and gone. My remaining mission is to alleviate human suffering and die without suffering myself.

I can't really blame people for the silly shit they do (check Google News for examples). Most have never had or even come close to the privilege and love I have experienced--or maybe someone shielded them from the consequences of their actions, which makes for intolerable adults. For me to judge them using the experience I know would be ridiculous. I remember my consciousness snapping into its current state one day at three years old--like a sudden awakening. Since that moment in that old farm house in Ohio, my existence has left me in awe.

My older brother was aborted. My younger brother was born with a life threatening disease. All the men in my family are dead, save for myself and my oldest cousin, due to the import of heroin following our most recent war (the price of oil is very high). It's lonely now and tough to look forward.
I grew up North of Ohio and it was common to joke about driving down to Ohio as being more rural / farm stereotypes. Later I moved to Ohio and found out it was a great state with a larger economy (top 7) compared to most of the states which make fun of it.
It’s also one of the more glaring issues still present in regard to mental health stigmatization - that people with mental health issues are a danger to others.

The overwhelming majority of people experiencing mental health issues are only a danger to themselves (worst case).

The differences in suicide rates compared to murder-suicide rates back this up but per usual extremely rare cases or murder-suicide grab headlines while the 125 suicides per day on average in the US are completely unknown to anyone other than the people personally impacted by them.

Not only are murder-suicides sensational, the “murder” component bypasses the otherwise standard media practice of not reporting on suicides because of the data on upticks in additional suicides due to reporting.
This may be a slightly weird thing to say and maybe I wont put it very eloquently but I'm somewhat of a believer in taking risks that can endanger lives now if it means doing something that is a net positive for everyone later. I'm not great historian but I think the aviation industry is a good example of this. Basically every plane crash that resulted in passengers dying has led to changes, and very often improvements, in air safety. Whether that be a change in the mechanical, software, or human systems that govern aviation. Globally these things are taken quite seriously because everyone understands how important it is. So it's odd to me to see such cavalier attitudes taken when it comes to self driving cars. Why not take safety more seriously? It will earn the industry a ton of trust and it could save lives.
“Some” doctors? This was the entire medical establishment, top-down, including several government agencies.
I won’t forget what a clown show the last few years were.
Cordless drills usually (but definitely not always) use LIFePO4 so should be a little bit safer. Here too: be careful of cheap stuff.

But a 50 cell 36V 625Wh e-bike battery is an entirely different beast and when it goes you're going to be very sorry if you are nearby. Individual cells that go are already very impressive, a large pack is going to very effectively spoil your day (if not your life).
Yes. The most aggressive consent requirement for recording is 'two-party' consent, where the both people on the call need to be aware it's being recorded. If you say "this is/may be(ing) recorded" then both parties are aware.
I can't argue with that. You've make good points. Both my parents were vets and I was in ROTC and civil air patrol for many years.
Haha, it’s empty!

Not at all "under-appreciated"

If you were in grad school (or maybe even undergrad) 30+ years ago, you read Fitzgerald.

Period.

It's the fundamental translation. Everything new is judged by Fitzgerald's version.

That said, I just finished the Lombardo translation for the Iliad -- and, yeah, it's good. Modern, quick, sweeping. But Fitzgerald's echoes are hard to silence.
Thanks for the feedback. Have deployed a quick fix for the video now. Will look to add screenshots and comparison table soon!
I hate speaking negatively about Ministry for the Future, because I admire KSR, and we need fiction that confronts the climate crisis and shows people taking positive action to change the world for the better. Still, I sadly cannot recommend this book. To quote from my spoileriffic review,

"This does not help us imagine realistic positive outcomes to the climate crisis. Robinson correctly diagnoses the threats we face and immerses the reader in a very plausible near future. Unfortunately, any happy ending feels unearned as the world is essentially saved through magic, as humans/society respond in vanishingly unlikely ways."

Have you considered what ownership in a company looks like? Even your plat map of the land, how much of the land do you own? Can you dig it looking for things? Can you regrade it?

And the very specific survey measurements are going to be based on landmarks that were likely planted for the purpose of making the survey work. Heaven help you if you have seismic activity move anything around.

That is, all of this only works because we define it to do so. You can do the same with a high rise. Condos are very common and have well defined common areas and housing spaces. Things get more complicated when you consider time share ownership.
Most software systems are not tested on "all possible scenarios".

Instead you run some basic must-pass scenarios, like the one in the video, where there is a red light in front of the car, and a left turn green, in clear conditions and daylight.

If the model doesn't pass, then don't ship it!
Are you saying AIDS has gotten less deadly over time?
You're right of course that complexity makes it harder to reason about, which makes it easy to "fat finger" a destructive operation with unintended consequences.

However I'd say the truly disastrous issue here wasn't really that. Data loss is something we've always had to plan around, whether due to mechanical failure, bug, or operator error. The actual death knell here was a classic ops blunder:

> From what I had seen our backups had been running successfully. I discovered once the incident started that backups had captured everything but the Persistent Volume Claim data. While manual backup and restore tests were run once a month to ensure our backups were functioning, they were run manually. After digging into why our restores were not coming up with data, I found that our recurring backups were missing the flag to run volume backups with Restic which snapshots PVC block volume data.

So they weren't actually backing up the data they thought they were, which is a class of error that is familiar to everybody who has been working in ops for a while. Unless you test the restore of an actual backup process, you have no idea whether you have useful backups.
“Actively” is debatable. New revisions arrive at roughly 5-year cadence and some (esp. 2018 and 2023) have been pretty small updates. And implementation uptake since F’95 has been spotty and buggy, so new features aren’t as portable as they should be, standard or not. (See https://github.com/klausler/fortran-wringer-tests for some examples.)
> "the "rocket man bad" crowd are very anti X for obvious reasons"

Who's "rocket man"? Isn't that what Trump called Kim Jong-un?

I guess you're right and there's probably a substantial overlap between those who don't like North Korea and those who don't like Musk's Twitter.
Its a empty box.

It would be a weird play for anyone to sign such a thing. Most states in the U.S. have lemon laws that prevent maufacturers from selling such vehicles. A manufacturer only gets a certain number of attempts at repairs (usually 3 for new cars) on new vehicles or a limited time frame to fix them before they must offer a full replacement.
> For me this is the important part. Too many people already drive far too distracted. Imagine giving many of those same distracted drivers a great reason to ignore what they're doing even more. Very frequently when I'm stopped at a traffic light I'll see the person next to me on their phone waiting for the light. Would we trust that someone doing that would lookup when their car starts driving into the intersection?

Isn't this precisely why self-driving (even if it isn't perfect) could actually make the roads safer. People, as you say, are already super distracted (partly because driving is boring).
> brands like Shimano have "generations" of motors, each going with specific batteries (with baka yoke features and no other engineering)

And the different gen batteries even look and fit the same, the first time you figure there is something fishy going on when you try to insert your old spare battery is when you try to turn the thing on!

E-bikes really need open standard interfaces for components. (Feel free to have multiple, and even a way to propose new ones, as long as they are open) Regulators, please step up.
> The only difference to the population that I see is that vaccines for COVID have less efficacy than those for influenza.

So far COVID vaccines seem to confer protection for longer than flu ones, and the initial protection is generally higher.

Not sure if it's your case, but people often forget that every year there's a new flu shot per hemisphere, and its effectiveness generally hovers at around 40-60%.
You mean he dethroned Giorgio A. Tsoukalos?
Now apply that principle to politics: representatives who actually work to, uh, represent their districts, tend to quietly go about their business and are rarely promoted. To get promoted you need headlines, which you won't get if you're actually good at your job.
> Wins by Tesla could raise confidence and sales for the software, which costs up to $15,000 per vehicle.

If anything I would expect the opposite; if the manufacturer were found liable in a few of these cases but continued to sell the thing, that would make it a more attractive product (Mercedes has a limited self-driving thing where they take some responsibility up-front, say).

Yes, there is a bit of that, unfortunately. Which is a shame because there are very nice people too.
> And this is how they treated their early adopters that were paying $100K in 2015 for their higher end cars.

I'm really confused about whether Skype mobile includes Teams that used to be Skype and have just been renamed.
From what I read, for both Covid and Influenza, a certain percentage have lingering symptoms, but you cant say they are similar because some symptoms are much more life altering that others. A nagging cough is not the same as brain fog, for example. The life altering symptoms "seem" to be much worse with Covid.
But this is basically the industry's line. That skill and the right tools are required, otherwise a substandard repair is performed. And for some products that is dangerous.
> I sure as hell am not comfortable with the idea of cars going straight from simulation to production.

This is what you're advocating for by saying people should test these things on public roads. That is production, none of the other drivers have consented to be part of the "test".
> Hackers can get your IP through Skype

More like hackers can get your IP through you merely using The Internet.

Also once a document or link is released onto the web, it will be looked at, mostly automatically. I crafted a PDF document that when opened, alerted me who opened it (a honey PDF). I uploaded it to both Google Drive and Dropbox, and it was some co-lo in Virginia that automatically scanned it, presumably to preview the doc in Dropbox/Drive, or (I suspect) maliciously opened it to have a nose.
18650 cells are not like AA alkaline batteries. There are dozens of companies making them around the globe (maybe hundreds), and there are thousands of varieties all with different characteristics.

I've spent a long time in that community, and a golden rule is to never mix cells - even cells of the exact same type because they're often binned to be matched to be even closer in operating capacity. Also, and more relevant here, mixing old and new cells is also a big no no due to changing characteristics during aging and use.

You can't just pop open a battery pack and replace a bad cell. I mean, you can, but if you cause a fire that kills someone, you should go to prison for negligence.

> the companies have to prove beyond doubt the harmlessness.

There must be a reasonable balance struck somewhere. One cannot prove a negative, after all, and if anything new must be proven beyond doubt that it has no short, medium, or long-term effects on human health, you are not going to have anything new, period.

Acetaminophen, for example, has been in use for a century and a half, yet we still don't know how it really works[0]. If we don't know how it works, how are we to know that it won't harm us in some insidious way?
