I think you are presenting a rose colored view of "choosing freely" the vast majority of people go along with signals they get along the way and those signals are always(?) inaccurate and arbitrary biases from older people considering past generations in largely irrelevant environments, etc.

I think quite a few people get pushed around by arbitrary sentiments until they find what they like and quite a few people don't really find anything because no one pushed them in any direction so they never really had the opportunity to learn to critique anything and develop their own opinions.

I would think that is the best brewing temperature at 0 bar? An espresso machine is going to reach higher temperatures and makes a good coffee.

The electric moka shuts itself off with the same system as a rice cooker and is extremely durable as long as it is an all metal exterior. I don't know why they are so hard to find.

I've always loved this logic. Luckily lead, asbestos, CFCs, plastic hardners, microplastics, Teflon, fracking pollutants and ICE/diesel fumes have had no presumed medical benefits so we need rigorous evidence to believe they have already killed us.

Google seems to limit people to testing in a few similar abstracted assembly languages, but they buy out startups which might be using languages that discourage these simple loops, reassignments, etc that "every programmer uses".

So quite possibly this was a perfectly good architect/programmer from a successful product who was turned into a C++ engineer on paper but never actually accepted the new role and only continued to architect.

It is around $1k square foot, which seems about double what houses would cost, but universities have a lot of requirements. I.e. stricter fire safety adds costs all around.

The room is $70k, the shared space in the module per room is about $70k. The other $90k is convertible classrooms, a Costco, etc which would normally be entirely separate building projects.

> 2. All the beds are at the back of the room, essentially "walled in" on 3 sides.

The rooms are 10x7 so these beds would need to be twin longs like (all?) US dorms.

And has to be weighted against HR knowing this game better than you and beginning steps to establish the narrative that you are incompetent. If you think you need to sue a company you should probably ask your own lawyer before sending anything to HR.

It's interesting that every university can theoretically bypass NIMBYs with dorms, yet they can't bypass other social factors where perfect is the enemy of good (or adequate or at least not fully negligent inaction) so they also tend to end up with inaction.

> Yet Facebook now is a billion dollar company.

Yet the social network as a concept that moved from one monopoly to another is a fad that is dieing. It certainly seems likely companies that have gotten their start from VR will succeed in collecting a lot of money and possibly diversifying successfully, but will VR end up being more useful than a FB style social site?

The basic problem with VR for me is that second life showed some potential that isn't going to happen because it is socially positive and a lot of negatives that make me want to kill VR as a medium before I have to deal with FB owning real estate in it.

FB has basically created the bifurcation that will limit the future of all new mediums. Half your friends will never use anything they participate in making the concept of social X a disaster for any X.

I'm curious as to why the assumption is that the keys were compromised rather than that ability to submit false patient data to be signed in the real system? Can anyone who looked at the fake certificates comment on whether anything about format or metadata indicates they weren't from the normal system?

With Fido keys you are really supposed to be registering another key and using it to login and replace this key if it is lost or damaged. So they are probably going out of their way to block backups.

AFAIK, (though I haven't looked at newer protocol versions) if you somehow had an original backup of the token state, it would be all that you need for normal auth aside from setting a high enough counter value since the RP (website) should be providing the opaque key from the registration.

In situations where there are resident keys it would do no good to save them if the token context itself can not be backed up and is lost. I'm not sure that really matters though since this project seems to only work between browsers so I don't see how you could use this kind of virtual key with ssh, OS services, etc, that might not store the opaque key normally.

> the CDC reported an increase from 0.01 to 9% and 0 to 15.1% (between January to May 2021) in the rates of hospitalizations and deaths, respectively, amongst the fully vaccinated [10].

Looking at the CDC slide I think they are referring to (their link is broken), 15.1% was the percentage of people in hospital who were fully vaccinated. It is fully noted on the slide: one would expect this to climb as vaccination level climbed and especially as high risk people were vaccinated first.

So they have provided no basis to care about the pandemic post vaccination.

Obviously every country wants to use its resources to the max and open as much of it's economy back up as soon as hospital occupancy and death are down so rates of infection should go up unless you reach something like 95% recent vaccination or booster.

The person with 22 years experience could fall back like this thanks to survivor bias, the person with 2 years experience might have been lucky so far.

I had to wonder what FB chose as a cultural strategy that left them down for hours when other companies can recover virtually anything in under an hour and if a focus on being less cool and less ageist would have helped them.

Maybe, but when I say I don't want to work for FAANG, I really mean 3-4 of these 5 companies are definite NO, which biases me against the focusing my skills toward FAANG like interviews.

I've worked for companies who are FAANG+ and I would say I can't see any logic in being against FAANG+ companies that doesn't require individual examination of each. Saying you don't want to work for FAANG+ would probably mean you don't want to work for any for-profit corporation or any corporation in the tech industry.

I half agree with his math on private stock, though some private stock is like having the same access as the ultra rich to underpriced off market stock..

I don't follow the stock grants math at all. AFAIK what is usually given is a mix of low priced and ultra-low priced options vesting over 5 years. One might end up getting 300K a year of profit in vesting options by year 5 but is anyone getting $300k in pure stocks given to them in year one?

This line of reasoning is often used to defend individually wrapped cucumbers, etc.

I watched a documentary recently that compared frozen food to internationally shipped food and found significant nutritional loss in the shipped "fresh" food. As such, I think plastic preserved apparently fresh food could be an explanation for part of the obesity rise. One potentially consumes more calories to get the other nutritional factors that have broken down compared to eating food that can only be delivered actually fresh.

(Given that improved shipping life also turns the market for a vegetable global, I also think more people are priced out of buying produce that once had to be sold locally than are helped by less produce waste in the richest market the produce can now reach.)

Does Speed Racer have any brothers that don't suck?

If all the servers you talk to are up to date enough to accept SK keys, I would use one:

The paper suggests it may be myocarditis and doesn't do anything to establish normal myocarditis fluctuations in young males who are always more susceptible than females. Just looking at the influenza chart, 2018 is probably also an abnormal year compared to 2019 if influenza related myocarditis kills young males.

> Chinese cities have much much less park spaces compared to the US. This is one reason for this to happen.

Yes, but isn't the soccer style sport the anti-social behavior as far as space usage is concerned? A future generation of retired soccer players not limited by the one-child policy wouldn't need any other groups to fight with over land use.

Integration is an interesting problem though. With Scaleway's c14 cold storage, I felt the reasonable choices were use their S3 services for more or don't use their S3 oriented archive service at all. Moving everything around to different S3 services for different purposes seems like something I don't want to sign up for.

Are rare deadlocks better than frequent ones? That sounds like a good way to not know you have problems.

I only eat lunch and dinner and while my morning commute is simple, when I go on a day hike, my diet doesn't change..

  If I were starting IF while hiking every day, I would probably have snack in the morning at first but reduce and then eliminate it.

Most companies I've worked for were actually sub-leasing at some point, so it also isn't actually necessary to break the lease at all and could only have administration costs as long as the rest of the market is maintaining the pretense that office space is going to stay valuable. That's actually a good reason to line up a sub-leaser with a contract early.

To be clear I'm saying the only way I know to make:

> hospitals are filling up with the vulnerable population

From the Swiss numbers is to really assume the worst in people.

20-29 is twenty something, already they need more beds than the 80%+ of 80+ year olds that vaccinated and those 20 somethings aren't the ones who know they had a medical problem unless they were seven orders of stupid and still didn't vaccinate.

Looking at the older working age groups we have more than 50% vaccinated in most and something like 100X less chance the vaccinated go to hospital. So if you hate restrictions then get vaccinated so we don't have to come up with creative ways to protect a hospital bed from you.

*Those numbers are not since the pandemic began but since the vaccination began. The oldest age group and people with health issues were vaccinated first so comparisons should be biased against the vaccinated, but it is too effective to see that bias.

> but ultimately the virus spreads no matter what.

No, the virus spreads as a function of what actions you take and society slows based on what actions you take. If no one is dieing or going to hospital you choose economy and cases go up but if you are highly vaccinated then the consequences are not enough to not open up further and you run with higher numbers of known cases.

A correlation study is irrelevant to how effective vaccination is, just as any other intervention might appear ineffective if it allows systems to remove stricter restrictions with higher societal impact or makes people feel safe enough to participate in additional activities.

Some unvaccinated people in my town feel safe enough to do things because more people are safe and are doing them than in a town with no vaccination and more conservative average behavior, that doesn't mean the vaccine didn't work.

There are breakdown for hospitalized in Switzerland:

https://www.covid19.admin.ch/en/vaccination/breakthrough

Switzerland runs with a much higher infection rate and faster economy than Germany because it has many more beds per million. These beds are being occupied by more 20 somethings without than 80 somethings with vaccination.

I'm annoyed by the slowness of things in Switzerland, I'm impacted by the even more absurd slowness of things in Germany. And all of this is from people who voted down pesticide regulations and water regulations so they don't care what ends up in my body.

The west behaving this way on public health while viewing libertarian ideals as justified whenever they are economically good and accidentally hurt people is the kind of insult to morals that I think correlates to western decline.

Mutation in animals typically lower it's viability in humans. So the question is if I have been vaccinated and there aren't enough unvaccinated people to jam hospitals, why do I continue to care about viruses in animal populations that are just like any other virus that might pop up the next time someone licks a bat?

If I'm willing to take any sort of vaccine for it when it becomes viable again in humans, then I'm safer once it is purely in animals than I was before it was present in humans.
