Inequality has nothing to do with feeling superior or inferior to others (though, our culture absolutely does encourage those beliefs). In a world with limited resources, huge levels of inequality necessarily means that a small group of peo

Or, one could look at the data suggesting that vaccinating someone, even after they have been infected, can dramatically decrease the risk of long covid. https://www.sfchronicle.com/health/article/Do-vaccinations-p

One of the largest companies in the world has recently renamed itself Meta (verse is strongly implied), so on some level it must have a decent amount of hype.

Police officers often lie about what can or will be charged for political reasons (or laziness reasons, or some other reason unrelated to what the DA supposedly will or won't do). That is why the parent said it might be propaganda.

A lot of people think carbon capture and storage has the potential to save us from climate change, but that idea ignores the scale of the situation. The world generates ~40 billion tons of CO2 a year, meanwhile the total mass of everything

I am in no way agreeing with the OP, but I do think you misread what they wrote: >> discontinuation after long-term usage is associated with higher relapse rates [0,1,2] To paraphrase, those who stop taking experience higher relapse r

I am a huge fan of Docker the tool, and during the prime of Docker the company they were doing some really impressive stuff. Swarm was dramatically easier to use than Kubernetes. The people working on Docker both in and outside of the compa

Choosing to bring RMS back to the FSF is a guarantee that it becomes even more irrelevant than it already has.

Gates is a complicated fellow. It's worth pointing out that he's richer now than he has ever been.

The simplest answer is probably that events aren't really generated in a one-to-one relationship with API calls, so it's very non obvious at that point what behavior you would expect. I believe the logic behind associating the cur

I think the pundits in 2007 were obviously wrong to anyone who followed Apple. I mean, perhaps you wouldn't have predicted the level of success, but it was clear that the iPod was all the experience they needed to pull off the iPhone,

To be clear, just so people don't vote mistakenly: these companies want to "operate under Prop 22"; Uber & Lyft are the primary supporters of Prop 22. They do not want to operate under AB5, the current law, which Prop

I think you're overstating the success of chemical treatment. I'm not extremely well versed in the subject, but I've read a number of books and articles that seriously call into question that idea. It would seem that "ta

Pretty interesting. Hope someone also writes a summary of how it works. Are they computing the tree in a worker, or have they just modified the rendering api itself to somehow be interrupt-able?

But they are completely different. On the most basic level, governments are responsible to their citizens and their only purpose is to serve those citizens. Companies are responsible only to their shareholders, who may or may not be their c

There is a wealth of literature on the subject, no pun intended. Thomas Piketty's "Capital in the 21st Century" (or, more practically, summaries of it) offers one interesting perspective. A different take can be seen in books

Grand juries are secret by law. Nobody involved is allowed to talk about what happens in the grand jury, or even to acknowledge the subject of the investigation.

People who testify to grand juries are automatically granted immunity with respect to that testimony, unless it is explicitly waived. That automatic immunity negates their right to invoke the 5th amendment under the law.

This is a fairly amusing read. Favorite quote: This devil would be a human being disguised to teach a moral lesson with a theatrical metaphor, so let's not take the metaphor too far. I think we would do well not to say that users

You are simply wrong. It's trivially easy to disprove your several comments about SF tipping culture with a few google searches. Don't confuse the fact that nobody has confronted you for the idea that waiters don't expect you

A pretty unfortunate title; containerd, like Docker itself, has always been open source. Now it's being spun out as a separate project, and donated to a "neutral foundation." Though, I think the timing of this announcement is
