The cautious thing to do is vaccinate the entire population with two doses. Oops, we don’t have enough doses for that.
Attitudes towards same-sex coupling have much to do with birth rate, health and population shocks.

Much of the regulation of sex comes down to population & birth rate fears (this is the history of abortion in America: initially only discouraged because immigrants were outbreeding white people).

The religious origin of anti-samesex prohibitions is just a part of techniques to keep birthrates up (since, historically, 20% of children died before 10).

With massive death rates up until 1940s, it is only in the very modern era that we have the pill & tiny childhood mortality rates.

In this environment our sensitivity to "reporductive freedom" has decreased dramatically, drastically tapering off these prohibitions.

If we were in a pre-40s world of high infant mortality, etc. MANY would regard homosexuality as immoral, precisely because it would seem to limit the size of the future generation (seen, here, as a "misuse of the body to serve the needs of pleasure vs. society").

Activists haven't "moved the window", they are precisely a symptom of forces they are profoundly ignorant of; here, laregely technological. Once these have taken hold, activists have only to prod at the now meaningless tradition.
I have a similar but slightly different take. Though it was announced with tons of media hype and attention, this project seemed doomed to fail from the outset. Amazon, JP Morgan, BH may be giants in their own industries, but they're relative outsiders to the healthcare industry. We aren't used to seeing Amazon flop like this, so when it was announced, I think people expected that it would succeed. I think they're finding the limits of their long term strategy. Ultimately, Amazon is a supply chain, logistics, and tech company. JP Morgan Chase is an investment bank and services co, and BH is a holding company. IMO if they're really keen on upending the healthcare industry, they'd need to involve an industry player like Kaiser, who have existing infrastructure stood up and tons of relevant expertise.
This should be an easy choice. Award huge amounts of indoor spectrum to a consortium that requires a SIM card to use any of it? What are they thinking?
There’s a difference between what is legal and what is morally correct.

Is there any new way to circumvent the play and app stores so you can still download an app and use it? This throttling at OS level feels like checkmate versus free speech to me
"Can" is probably the wrong question, Google has control of the Android project itself and many system level services found on nearly every Android phone so the "can" do a lot of things if they so decided to but unlike e.g. Apple they don't/haven't went past actions in the Play store ecosystem. This is only a suspension from Play though so the answer to "is it still possible to use the website or sideload the app" is "yes".
So do we need a DMCA type thing for courts to file injunctions against illegal content? What is the solution?

The fact is any moderation will be subjective and imperfect. How can making more complicated subjective rules help at all?

Eh, I don't think a person can ever write enough articles and rewrite their layout enough times that search+replace overhead ends up bigger than the upfront time it takes to read jekyll/hugo/whatever docs (plus debugging idiosyncrasies, etc). And even if search and replace was slower overall, you might be looking at a difference of minutes over a period of decades (i.e. it wouldn't actually matter in any practical sense).

Far too often I see people spend days to save 2 seconds (and then proceed to not realize the savings over a long enough timespan)
In school I was thought: with lower demands, come lower prices

Neither of which improve with more n, and are completely unrelated to the discussion of "significance".
Yet another reason why working with or talking to RMS is impossible. I think we can apply many of these arguments to Taxi cabs as well.

Taxis run "non free" software to process credit cards.

Taxi destinations can be subpoenaed by local LEO and the government, along with credit card receipts, just like Uber.

Taxis are a regulated market, but the medallion market is largel unregulated and a near-monopoly.

Taxi drivers complain they are underpaid and beholden to the medallion owners.

And so on...
> I can't think of any large program that has ever been forced to a drop a feature

I have to anecdotes of having to drop features in a large python program due to memory leaks.

The first one was when someone introduced an endpoint that consumed data from a gRPC service. After weeks of effort trying to find where the source of the leak was, we decided to drop the change as we could not find the cause in a reasonable time.

The second case was when introducing jaeger for distributed tracing. Similarly to the previous story, it was cheaper for us to drop the feature and use something else than to figure out where the memory leak was.

I believe that it is a matter of balancing effort vs, benefit. I would not be surprised if someone working on their free time on an open source project decides to drop a feature because they cannot find the time to make it work properly.
Can’t figure out what this has to do with TFA?
Reddit was started with fake content and fake users, I think.
As someone who interacts with people wearing legal wigs on a semi-regular basis, it is very interesting to see the origins of wig wearing in the UK and the reduction in size over time. I love to see these sort of historical fashions; it shows both that people over time are very similar to us, but also, at least cosmetically, very different.
I made alias of git to g, and git aliases for functionality, so you can use it in the same way just shorter,
for example git status -> g s, git push -> g ps etc.
>In 1927 The US Supreme Court, in Buck v. Bell@ (274 U.S. 200) decided that 'compulsory sterilization of the unfit' does not violate due process. That decision has not been reversed.

I really do not understand this. How can you call it a justice system if they can decide to mutilate you even though you've done no wrong?

The more I learn of how 'justice' systems seem to work the more it seems to be propaganda. A just system is based on principles. One of those principles seems to be bodily autonomy, except when it isn't. There are so many exceptions to it that it really doesn't seem like a principle that's upheld. And somehow people don't consider this to be wrong enough to affect change. Instead, what's repeated over and over is: "The law is the law and everyone is equal in front of it."
Work is ongoing on that front too:

A date specifying a day is a Duration. A date that is a truncated/rounded timestamp is the same as the millisecond at the start of that date.

2021-02-27T00:00:00.000Z === 2021-02-27 if truncating.

But the day 2021-02-27, first of all starts and ends at different times, depending on your local timezone, but for me it's (in ISO8601 format) 2021-02-27T00:00:00.000+11/P24H.

To cover the whole world, it would be

2021-02-27T00:00+12/2021-02-27T23:59:59-12 or

2021-02-26T12:00Z/2021-02-28T11:59:59Z which is 48 hour duration :)
Yes, nicely put.

Since the only tool they have is a hammer,
they see everything as a nail. And, as
legislators, judges, prosecutors, and
litigators, they like to see 'problems'
everywhere; like some English major,
and many lawyers were, who looks at formula
fiction and sees good against evil, white
hats against black hats, where the point
of the story is for good to defeat evil
and get the girl.

Here as often elsewhere in our society, the
lawyers should just go drink something
sickening and just get the hack out of
our lives, out of our way, and quit being
dangerous, destructive leaches on the
work of good and productive people.

Time for a lawyer joke:

Q.
On the highway
is a dead skunk and a dead lawyer. What
is the difference?

A. There are tire tracks ahead of the
dead skunk.

No one wants to run over a skunk; they
are cute, sweet, harmless little animals
and fun until threatened and turn and
raise their tails. Lawyers, however,
....

Lawyers, just quit causing trouble
for normal, harmless people. Stop
it. Please, just stop it. Go do
something else. I'm putting this
nicely. However, if I win a big
bundle in the lottery, maybe I'll
fund the ACLU, EFF, and even more
aggressive legal organizations to go
after any lawyers making trouble for
harmless people, e.g., Aaron Swartz.

Lawyers need some insight into people.
Well, here's one: From grade school,
high school, and college, it's not good
to have everyone else in school think
of you as worse than a rabid dog. And
if people think of you this way, then
there's nothing the school principal,
teachers, and rules can do really to protect you.
Instead, you can get hit in the back on the
playground, on the way home
find some tough, angry kids who don't
like you, never get invited
to parties, lose your homework and find
it in the toilet, etc. Adults don't
do such things, but the feelings can be the same and
still you can
be ostracized, rejected, hated,
pushed out, scorned, avoided, friendless,
etc. Really, you can be alone and learn
what essentially every baby mammal knows
from birth -- it's not good to be alone.

Net, again, once again, either
be hated or just quit, stop it,
hurting harmless people. Dutch
uncle advice. Word to the wise.

I know; I know; in law school you
were proud to be taught how to "think
like a lawyer". Now, out in the
real world with normal humans, you need
to learn again how to think like a
human. Again, yet again, just for you,
quit hurting harmless people;
this advice is good for both the
harmless people and you.
Are you getting this? Got it?

Right, you noticed that this is not
a legal issue. Right; in strong
contradiction to what you learned
in law school,
not everything
in life is a legal issue. Beginning
to understand now?
To clarify, the problem discussed here is methane contamination of water rather than contamination from the process itself (though that's been an issue in some places). Methane is the gas extracted. The fracturing process tends to exacerbate existing fractures in addition to the one intended allowing more of that gas to enter groundwater.
I think things like this will become far more workable when something like electric delivery air drones become commercially viable.
I was thinking about the "sharing economy" yesterday and started wondering if you could approach its underlying infrastructure as a software problem. It's easy, in our heads, to generalize the aspirations of the many companies that get lumped in to that category — but could it be accomplished in practice by building tools?
These are problems and solutions created by a very weak American social fabric that no longer has any meaningful element larger than the nuclear family. See Robert Putnam's "Bowling Alone."

When I stay with my cousins in India, they can borrow anything they need on pretty short notice. We wanted to play chess -- my cousin went a few doors down to borrow their chess board. He saw that the cardboard chess board was falling apart -- he spent about half an hour fixing it up with tape.

The closest that you see in America, since the days of Elks Lodges and bowling leagues are behind us, are religious communities. Mormons, for example, have a very tight-knit community of friends that they see frequently. Forget a power drill -- if your house burns down, your fellow Mormons will be there in an hour to get you housed/clothed/fed/taken care of.
I can run Ubuntu on my Nexus 4 and Android wishes it could run that smoothly. Even in beta it is incredible smooth, it just a shame it can't really do anything since the apps are all just filler.

Linux is superior for mobile platforms. Even Ubuntu with it's bloated software and UI can run. Someone just needs to develop a good ecosystem for that merges Desktop, Laptops, tablets and other mobile devices where you actually develop for them sort of simultaneously. Or your framework can be designed to incorporate all factors of computing and even make them interoperable.
Comex rules are stacked in favor of larger investors. CFTC regulators catch about as many cheaters as the SEC, probably fewer.
It's a surprising default - for better or worse history made the convention that SQL KEYWORDS be uppercase (when pretty printed). I assume it stems from case being irrelevant and a time of green screens and monochrome printouts - but it's still the most common formatting/presentation of sql?
How often do you find yourself forced to use bash? ssh/machine init scripts/etc. I could never use an alternative shell full time because I need to stay good at bash.
The source article is pretty explicit about its goal: it's trying to inform readers on how a specific group of people think, which is important because many powerful people are in that group. Describing only the parts of their ideology that are "newsworthy", the parts that are strange or shocking to a typical NYT reader, is going to present a picture so distorted that it ends up being simply false. It would be like a human interest story that studiously refused to mention anything normal about the subject.
Mostly just less contributors.

Also time of day.

Why there are less contributors is a harder question.
I would give it a try if there was an Android version. I don't have an unused iPhone, basically because their value in the second hand market makes it worth to sell it insted of keeping it.

I find Schneier's blogs infuriatingly annoying, mainly because to me it feels like he doesn't interject his own ideas, rather focusing on content from other locations (even if some of those locations are references to himself).

I feel that the point of a blog should be to present your own ideas, rather than leaning on content from others. Give me the entire story on one page; don't make me click to 3 or 4 other sources.
Executions are more about theatrics than being a reasonable punishment. There is basically no reason someone who's in custody and not posing or posing an /immediate/ threat to life and limb should be killed. And it won't have the effect you want anyway- you'll end up martyring them.

They have been in that stage for like a decade now, with essentially no progress toward "then you win". It is useful and fun for speculators, but there's not much more to it.
F-35 is perhaps one of the ultimate "scope creep" stories, though a lot of military vehicles have the same problems (tanks come to mind). Every big wig wants some bell or whistle for their use case baked in.
The interesting thing is that it seems to be an unfixable and systemic problem. You could have someone come in and try to clean it up but then they'd face the backlash of the entire system that has been built on and benefited from the corruption.
Companies do not have trouble hiring. They have trouble hiring high experience for entry level pay. They have trouble hiring people who know exactly how to solve their abstract set of requirements on a resume.

Your comment embodies the problem. If you expect CS students to have a wide array of specific work experience then you're siphoning experience and not creating any.

Companies should be much more concerned with teaching while building. Most of these students can do the work - they simply need an introduction to the specific special environment that company uses. But those companies refuse. Therefore they don't get workers. It's a self created problem.

It's also in line with basic market economics. Surplus of hiring candidates means you have more leverage.

Another proof is how often big name companies will do diversity hires that are not related to competancy. If there was such demand and competancy required then these would not happen.
I have to wonder if this is because Gamestop stock is making another huge run and people are flocking to WSB
> Just give a damn and focus on passionate students who are actually interested in something rather than the superficial students doing it to look good for a college application.

It's not that easy. Teachers are evaluated on the competency of the entire class, not just the ones who want to be there to learn.
It's unfortunate that this article starts to ramble and become onfocused. The first mistake is pg 10-11 and makes it obvious that the writer is not an insider in domestic and foreign intelligence consulting. It pretty much falls apart after that.

You're talking purely about performance. Sure, you can do whatever you want in a game UI, and it will probably outperform a web UI. But there's a reason game UIs often scale/function badly as soon as you change the screen size or the input type: they aren't built on a platform that has flexibility baked into its bones. In many cases they aren't build on any kind of platform at all. They often have element/text positions hardcoded to a specific screen shape. Which is exactly what the browser spends most of its effort preventing: all sizing and positioning is determined automatically based on rules and content, which can be expensive to calculate, but is what makes it so robust.

Qt still exists. It's still being actively developed and still gets used for some modern software. It's actually a perfect stand-in for the current peak of native cross-platform frameworks. It's a contemporary of the web, it supports all the platforms, it has a rich feature set. It even directly supports several languages, something the web doesn't really do. And yet: it's only used in a very small fraction of the apps out there. Why? Because (if you ask me) it simply isn't as flexible or accessible of a GUI layer. It's a very performant GUI layer, and it works very well for certain types of applications. But the web works pretty well for all types of applications. And that's exactly my point.

I recently started going through the book Thinking as Computation: A First Course by Hector Levesque, and I am finding it rather nice. It goes slow, but I like slow. It uses Prolog as the computational implementation of the thesis that presents thinking as computation.

Other books I have but haven't gone through yet are Adventure in Prolog and The Art of Prolog.

I'm so sorry, I don't remember - I had a demo of an app about 6 months ago which went no where, but, the interface was amazing and they told me they used the Jupyter project's interface.

I tried downloading the source and removing the majority of the bits, but, I just got absolutely nowhere and was hoping there was a library somewhere or a guide that would make this job much easier, however, I'm getting nowhere!
Having laws requiring the state to get a warrant from a court to conduct a search, is not an extreme. Instituting warrantless mass-surveillance, like monitoring every transaction above a certain size, is the extreme.
I support a small business with 3 PC's (XP, Vista, Win7). One of them has an intermittent problem that I have spent 50 or 60 hours tracing. Chrome OS would solve 99% of the support problems that they have - reducing all of the support to just "Are you connected to the internet?" I so wish that all the apps that they use were available as SaaS.

It's not worth the hassle of managing ads, at the least. If you're a developer, your income is probably sufficient enough to not warrant the supplemental money from ads. :P
Depends what your development strategy is, but the Nexus S is the most powerful phone running Android out there, running a version of Android that no other consumer phone is running.

It is so bleeding edge it is barely even a "consumer" edition phone. Therefore, I don't really see it as a good candidate for building + testing apps on if you want something reflective of your target user.
