This is parallel to the question of vitamin D and COVID. There's a strong correlation between vitamin D deficiency and COVID mortality, yet taking vitamin D doesn't help. Conjecturally, it's the genetic cause of vitamin D deficiency that increases COVID mortality.

I had been taking Clemastine and vitamin D. I asked a former student now a doctor at the center of the COVID response whether these would interfere with my vaccine. She said to stop Clemastine on the off chance that one study was on to something, but there was no reason to take or stop taking vitamin D.

Not sure you can call this UBI. It's targeted aid to those most (visibly) in need. At the very least UBI should be universal. As well as social programs. Otherwise you'll just end up fomenting tensions among those who receive it and those that don't, and eventually it'll be killed. And then there's the problem of UBI not linked to (real) inflation is not really BI in the long run.
"EDIT: A new cpu architecture is always an exciting sight, though."

Do n't tell me. I would _love_ to have a workstation based on one of these. While the hypervisor is a very interesting element, I would be delighted to see a kernel taking advantage of the bare-metal partitioning scheme for managing core-affinity on processes sharing a single memory space.

It's fun to imagine a thread-migration mechanism based on memory-access-hop-counting for dynamic optimization of process/thread/tile allocation.
This is often measured by researchers. It is called a "cost of living" calculation, and every one of these that I have seen indicates that this isn't the case.
Shanon says that it is an exact equivalence, provided transmit power is >> thermal noise (it is)... If in real world devices that isn't the case, that's a shortcoming of the devices or protocol.
I think they are to blame. Qualcomm is one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) manufacturer of ARM chips, yet they still simply use reference designs. Besides, for the next flagship (Snapdragon 888) they switched to Samsung 5nm (inferior to TSMC 5nm) and they're not even using the ARM-recommended 8MB L3 cache, but staying with 4MB.

It seems benchmarks for tha SoC aren't bad, but it really shows that they aren't really trying to catch up to Apple.

I like this vision of shared libraries sandboxed inside a minimal runtime to replace the browser. But there are some serious problems with it (that I hope can be resolved somehow).

Replicating a significant fraction of the functionality of a browser ends up being a lot of code and data. For a web-like experience with instant navigation between apps it will be necessary for these shared libraries to be really shared, as in almost all apps use the same libraries and the same version of those libraries. Otherwise you'd be downloading and unpacking and JIT compiling dozens or hundreds of megabytes of code and data before you could display a single line of text, every time you click a link to a new site. The linkable nature of the web would be lost. (Yes, many websites are dozens of megabytes already, but the bulk of that is delay-loaded and happens in the background after the initial content is displayed).

In order for the standard libraries to be actually shared, everyone would have to agree on the standard libraries to use, and the standard libraries would have to be designed to be backwards compatible so that older sites could be force-upgraded to use newer versions. This is essentially the role that browser updates play today. But the browser evolved over decades and it's not clear how you'd get everyone to adopt a new set of standard libraries today, nor how you'd get everyone to agree on what functionality to add over time (the role that W3C plays today).

For libraries outside of the standard set, it sounds tempting to allow them to be shared too. But this is actually an unavoidable privacy violation. If you have a shared cache, then any app can discover the set of previously loaded libraries with a timing attack, thus revealing information about the user's browsing history. This is why all browsers are now moving to partition all caches by site: https://www.jefftk.com/p/shared-cache-is-going-away. Even if multiple sites reference the same wasm blob, it must be downloaded and JITed separately with no sharing.

As I said, I like the vision of a tiny low-level runtime executing shared libraries inside a sandbox. But I'm not sure how it could be done in an efficient and privacy-respecting way if you want to replace the Web with it.
I am learning Prolog because I think I have an idea that I believe might actually be easily solved by Prolog instead of hacking it in some other language. I personally believe in learning paradigms of programming as far more important than languages. Prolog presents the very unique logic programming paradigm. Learning new paradigms always feels a bit mind-bending to me.

Edit: Actually, my last statement may be only in hindsight given that any experienced programmer will know or know of languages like C and Python that aren't mindbending, so one's viewpoint gets slowly skewed. I think that's why sometimes beginners find things like Prolog or other "strange" languages interesting or even easy, and that's because they present a paradigm that is more like like how humans think about certain tasks. Whether it's Prolog and logic, Elixir/Erlang and messaging, F#/Ocaml/SML with pattern matching, etc., these paradigms are actually quite natural to humans who haven't been tainted with paradigms like that of C, which takes on the paradigm of "let's think like a machine".
we can't, it's just a post of what they created.
> I think GP is talking about heat pump water heaters that are working between the air in the room where heater is installed and the hot water.

Correct. Every heat pump water heater I've ever seen has the heat pump directly on top of the water tank. It's possible they make ones that tie into an external heat pump, but I've never seen one.
This reminds me of my favorite pieces by one of my favorite composers, Come Out, by Steve Reich.

I'll give an example for why the original author of the code should write the test. Say you write a sort and for performance reasons you use a different algorithm beyond collection size 100. This is prone to bugs around collection size 100. Your test needs to shed light on this dark corner. A QA generalist can't know that. They write some generic test cases. Size 0, 1 and 2 since they are inherently dark corners. Then some medium size and some large collections. They'll likely miss the 100. And the bug that's there for size 99.

You need both and ideally the original author writes the test and somebody else reviews the test thoroughly. That reviewer should have an intimate understanding of the spec you are implementing.

The more formal that spec, the less need for that external reviewer since the less ambiguity there is leaving room for missunderstanding. In a perfect world, the spec is completely formalized and instead of a test that shoots in the dark, you'd write a formal machine-verified correctness proof, automatically covering all cases. Then you would not need that external reviewer and could just have the programmer do it by themselves.

My kids don't like youtube kids and prefer regular youtube so there's that which I don't know what to make of. They watch a lot of young adults doing adventure things and 24 hour challenges, among us in real life.

Then there are roblox and minecraft videos which they watch and then go off and play with their friends while all facetiming together. Now they want to be youtubers.

So it is not all mindless.
I actually bought this quite a while back. It is nice, but a far cry from what developers typically consider components. In fact they are just HTML that you have to copy and paste. You have to build the interactivity yourself. I think they have recently started integrating them into some JS frameworks though possibly.
"They" being an institution which holds a significant amount of Bitcoin (for example sake) as capital in order to be allowed to issue loans?

I'm wondering if there is a smarter way to issue loans through something like smart contracts as another comment mentioned. Where we perhaps remove the need for large single institutions to hold large amounts of capital for the purpose of loans. Otherwise we would then be entering in a very similar structure of what we have today and the inherent drawbacks.
It entirely depends on the company.

Many of the acquired companies can be directly seen in shipping products (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mergers_and_acquisitio...)
And even then, only barely, since all of the open jobs are US/Canada only. There's a bunch of countries even on the same timezones being skipped, so I'd say it's pretty geographically centralized too.
You are saying random angles, but that is definitely not how hair is naturally set. The issue is more like: vertical angle throughout vs. slight angle only changing uniformly in different areas.
No, Yarvin's thinking does not have merit, and his entire approach is to exploit attempts at good faith debate with his own bad faith behavior. It's similar to the approach a lot of creationists use. There's no reason to indulge it. Here's a piece that's mostly about the Star Slate Codex drama, but covers the issue well: https://modelcitizen.substack.com/p/climbing-the-bell-curve-...
Wow the SSDs are soldered. Thats a big yikes from me. Like soldered RAM is bad enough.
Also, Coinbase isn't legally decentralized. If someone wanted to subpony them or serve them a court summons they still have a listed agent for service of process.

A truly decentralized company, in the ideological sense, would have none of that.
Yeah, definitely. Though note that LINQ is new syntax (at least with "query" syntax; see https://stackoverflow.com/a/823155/68707), whereas this co-opts existing Python syntax. LINQ is quite a lot nicer in that it gives you the syntax tree (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-g...), whereas PonyORM has to be a huge decompile-the-bytecode-back-to-a-syntax-tree hack.
I remember reading that some countries did. That said, there are shortages of doctors everywhere in the EU, and no country in their right mind would send out staff and supplies knowing they'll need them all back in two weeks.
They send him messages via a channel I assume. Don't overthink it.
I think there are many more cars on the road today, and I suspect they are more dangerous to pedestrians (new cars are generally more powerful, so tend to accelerate to dangerous speeds on small streets. Not to even start on smartphones).
Can you quantify that? I've been under the impression that outdoors transmission was extremely rare and the vast majority of transmission was indoors. I've been meeting with people outdoors for walks thinking that was mostly safe. I've no sources unfortunately.
> The Democrats even introduced several election security bills the last couple years that all got blocked by the GOP..

I totally could believe that.

But, be aware that just because you saw it in a left wing site (NYT, CNN, Vox etc), doesn't make it so.

Unfortunately, the few times something got me upset enough to actually try to track down original sources, I found the sites to be representing falsehood, on both sides of the spectrum.

Like, the complete and total opposite of the facts. Some twisted logic, omissions or half facts, but other times it seems they just said "facts be damned".

So, would be curious if you actually have sources, and if you actually looked up the bills and the riders, and the deals.
Do not they have e-mail? That seems like safe default.
In France, it is well known that the president and a lot of members of the leading political party are personally using Telegram.

I like a lot Telegram, even if I'm a little bit sad that they don't do more to push end to end encryption. One can have a look at cryptpad to see that cloud storage and e2e is possible.

But still, so far, for so long, there never was any proof of any deceptive behavior of the telegram team.

Not a single private message leaked to a gov, company or anyone. So I kind of trust them for the moment.
> Could you live without whatsapp? Yes. Then by definition it is not critical.

Can I live without heating in London? Yes I wouldn't die without it. But without heating it's extremely uncomfortable. I'd say it is critical for me because "dying/not dying" is not the criteria for deciding.
Honestly, this is my choice as of now. I don't really use IM all that much, so it's not a big deal for me from privacy standpoint, but I'm not going to switch to yet another centralized service. I'd probably be alone there anyway, I doubt most of my contacts will care about this.

I'll wait for a distributed E2E IM or death from old age, whichever comes first.
Yes, radio, charity, and other raffles are regulated. I encourage you to search for [your state] raffle statute. Or [your city/county] raffle statute.
My car has "cutout valves" on the exhaust which can bypass the muffler (making it louder), and I've noticed an interesting phenomenon: the car actually seems faster (to it's occupants) when it's in the quieter mode. I've dynoed it in both modes, the torque and horsepower curves are nearly identical, so it's not actually faster.
Because I make things I WANT TO USE!! I'm not making them to put on my resume, or to show people, I'm making things that I actually want to use and they don't exist yet and they would make my life better/easier/whatever. Sometimes I show others and they like them because if I want something made generally there are others that want something like that as well. But sometimes I don't release them as well. But I find that to keep me motivated.
I feel like this is a security nightmare. How do you handle that consideration?
I actually have no idea, this is something I had to work around in my twm, since the windows always spawn on the primary monitor
> Getting rid of advanced classes does nothing to solve the real problem

The people doing it aren't interested in solving the real problem, they are interested in not having to expend effort dealing with political fallout of one particular symptom of the problem, and they are willing to exacerbate the problem if it achieves that goal.
Like coronavirus, it's not a binary but a question of how well or badly we cope with it.
The best way to better yourself financially is highly individualistic. It depends on your wealth, skills, education, abilities, location, opportunities, etc. In any case, I don't really see how a blanket abolishment of income taxes is going to magically incentivize the "right" things and deincentivize the "wrong" things.

> The reason it won't converge is that a very large number of the points will ALWAYS lie off of the line.

No they won't. It moves zero distance horizontally and zero distance vertically. All the points of the infinitely zigzagging line are on the hypotenuse.

Of course, now we're back to Zeno; if it's not moving off the line, and it only makes progress when it's off the line, how can it get anywhere?
Thank you, I've discovered this... (un)fortunately, my business is beginning to grow rapidly, forcing me to make decisions I doubt I'm able to make. We shared the business, unofficially, but decisions we're mutually made... and now I'm making them all... for the first time.

It's incredibly terrifying.
But thinking about doing work is easier than actually doing it - and as an added bonus I get to feel productive.
My heart goes out to you. I can't imagine what that must feel like. As others here have said, it's perfectly understandable that you've been in shock and grief.

I think the best suggestion I could give is to be easy on yourself. It's good that you're starting to feel ready to begin moving forward, but don't rush anything. Be glad for what you can do, and don't worry about what you're not ready to do yet. Taking a long walk every day might help.
35k is what a graduate would get in the UK for somewhere like Google or a tech consultancy, but you wouldn't get that from most non-tech firms.

You're right most jobs are clustered around London though and due to the high rent of London it's definitely less affordable than Canada.
If I owned a company, now is exactly when I'd take on debt.

Now, "stuff" (advertising, equipment, factories, employees) is cheap.

Now, borrowing is cheap.

Now is the time for a business to spend.

The US government is more like a business than an individual. Both are interested in generating wealth rather than consuming it.

But in the case of "my friend"...if he were looking to borrow in order to generate wealth, say buy a house for rental income, I would completely support him.

It is beautiful and it's a tough problem to solve--the login/signup is a big cause of friction and confusion to users.

I would wonder how many users notice the "Sign Up" link or read it as "Sign In" and not understand how to proceed.

The distinction between username and email is lost on a lot of people, unless you expect accounts to outlive emails and the value of having an account is worth this friction (think Dropbox or online banking) then use an email or phone instead.

I do wonder if for most apps a two-step process is easier: enter your email/phone to continue, if that exists ask them to logon or otherwise create an account. I realize there are concerns about account enumeration, which are valid, but end up being overly hostile to the user (plus most registration flows leak anyway).
They can't just say "hey, we're publishing this, and this is now prior art" so no one can patent it in the future?

(Is this a difference between the US and EU patent systems?)
If you're statically linking, then LTO would give you cross TU visibility to do the same optimization at link time, not post link when you've lost a lot of fidelity.
That's my point. If you're designing a suit that should stop yourself from being electrocuted it sounds weird saying that copper has "excellent" conductivity, it's not really excellent in the context you're talking about.
This is very interesting. Fitbit and such have great opportunity to contribute.

Virus fragments. The ability of the virus to infect decreases quickly.
Kudos to Google for not buying then.

Note that the alleged value of Sun's patents is based on essentially suing everyone supposedly using the technology and so the money put into such an investment essentially forces the buyer to either write-off the investment or go out and do the suing.

It may be that Google has decided it needs a business model based on the end of (or diminution of) software patents - ie, they could not buy enough patents to not have other entity siphoning off their revenue on a per-byte basis (see the WebM fight that's brewing).

Here's where the analysis of Oracle-shill Florian Mueller is especially insidious (http://fosspatents.blogspot.com/2011/01/google-is-patently-t...). Any "patently strong" corporation, any coroporation that builds-up a large "war chest" of their own "profitable" patents has a strong incentive to keep the whole patent racket going (otherwise, the lose the value of that "war chest").

Again, kudos to Google for not taking that route (and, they're doing this to make money, which is great too...).
Of course it does.

But I do think it's worthwhile to take measure of how important a particular piece of software is to our collective security and privacy. It's not necessarily a bad thing for interested parties to not completely trust their systems. Risk mitigation is all about quantifying probable events relative to their damage.

I think a lot of people will take a look at the IPSEC code and that can't be a bad thing.
Wouldn't installing some arbitrary CA's root certificate open me to someone attacking me with say… a Paypal cert signed by them?

Personally, I agree with you: pair programming is not suitable for everyone. After a day of pairing I definitely want some quiet time.

We recently had an energetic internal discussion about whether we are simply selecting for extraversion in our process.

I suspect we're probably filtering out very strong introverts, but I've honestly seen a wide band of personalities. I've worked with men and women ranging from those who are chatty as I am, to the downright laconic. Some who want to socialise after work, to others like me who just want to go home for some personal time.
