I use dar[0] to create incremental, compressed, encrypted backup archives, and then upload those to a GCS bucket. GCS is dirt cheap even for terabytes of data, so as added bonus this gives me a history of all my files (eg, i still have bac

Thanks for the further clarification! If you ran this several times, you could calculate standard deviations or confidence intervals. It would be nice if you could report one such measure, so it's clearer that the differences are not j

Unlikely worst case: there are rare side-effects that get only discovered very late. For example: 70% of those who get the vaccine develops liver complications within 3 years and 60% die a horrible death with no way to cure. Or every women

This could be said of all required vaccines, though, and the same counter-arguments apply: One individual's freedom to not vaccine hurts other people's right to health (e.g. via reduced herd immunity which hurts people who cannot

Admittedly it might be my fault for living under a rock, but I don't know what PWA stands for. The fact that the linked article uses the acronym without ever writing out its long form even once rubs me the wrong way. For those like me

Just from personal experience: 42% is pretty much on the dot. It might be that with 92k you're still taxed in a lower class (or maybe you're married and thus getting a discount).
