That's a little of an oversimplification. DNSSEC is indeed limited to authenticity. But the idea of DNSCrypt is that with very widespread deployment, you get most of the benefit of resource integrity, in the same way that we do with TLS even though no system in TLS explicitly "signs" HTML pages.
How does the concept of linking translates to a deployed database that is interfaced using some SQL endpoint or REST service?
I'd be perfectly happy if the takeaway companies got from this is to let people get away from the desk and do some thinking about work during work hours.

Let me take an extended walk and think about where I'm stuck on a problem during the work day, instead of forcing my butt in a seat for 8+ hours, and interrogating me if the time-tracker at my computer drops down below that.

>I think the core problem for most people is that they are attached to the wrong outcome. Their goal is the high GPA.

Likely to be true for many people. I remember my uncle, who was a prof. in the US, bemoaning the fact (and this was way back) that some of his students used to come and ask him "What do I need to do to get an A?" His point being, of course, that those students did not have a genuine interest in the subject for its own sake (which tends to lead to better outcomes anyway).

Canada only allows something like 300,000 long-term residents to move into the country per year, of which about half those slots are reserved for refugees and family reunification. They're immigrantion process is just as bureaucratic as the US (if not slightly more so), and they are very selective about whom they take (favoring the wealthy, those with advanced higher education, and French/English bilinguals).

Over the counter cough syrup is a weird category. It is an old drug, and some of the studies are mixed. The FDA regulations weren't the same back then, and so it still has the approval. It has some issues when kids take a whole bottle, which means some places restrict its sale - but overall, it hasn't proved harmful to folks either.

Cough drops are another one. There isn't much evidence they make you breathe better, yet people report that they do. They think this is likely due to the reaction menthol has on mucus membranes - it feels cool on the air one is breathing so they feel their breath. Yet, menthol is considered a drug and as such, it must have an FDA approval.

Edit: I know these aren't prescription, but they were the first ones I thought of.

China’s Embargo on VPNs: Harsh Fines for VPN Users in Chongqing
> You can revoke a license at will, but I'm not aware of any case where someone took something that was open source and successfully retroactively closed it.

Revoking a license means that permissions previously granted are no longer applicable to any acts taken in the future, so no action requiring a license under copyright (such as copying) would generally be permitted (promissory estoppel protects, to a limited extent, those who initially relied on a promise that the license would not be revoked before it actually was revoked, but generally only to the extent that they had reasonably expended resources in that reliance and would be suffer unjust loss due the violation of the non-binding promise.)

> You can close your future development but if someone takes the old code under the old license and continues work on it, I can think of no case where that was stopped, or even challenged.

Thats because no one has ever actually revoked an open source license on code in significant use, rather than merely not offering it for future versions. And there's a good reason: most people offering open source licenses, even if they change their mind on a particular work, want open source to keep working, which actually relies very much on the shared belief that gratuitous open source licenses won't be revoked, even though the law of gratuitous licenses clearly allows that.

If it ever happens (and courts don't just completely rewrite the law on gratuitous licenses in defiance of precedent to save open source), the whole illusion of safety comes crashing down.
My problem with Telegram is I want to use it but they wont let me.

I'm skeptical that pharma companies should require equally high levels of marketing spending as other industries. After all most expensive pharmaceutical products are bought through an expert (ie. your physician). There's not a huge discoverability problem to be solved for those companies - or at least there shouldn't be - after all there's a national drug directory run by the FDA. Furthermore the US is one of only two countries where companies can advertise for drugs which require prescriptions.

Thanks for weighing in.

Decoherence is great at explaining the loss of interference. It may even address the "preferred basis" problem (though there seems to be good reason to believe that it might not). But ultimately what I want to know is why I experience just one outcome, and decoherence doesn't really help here.

MWI partially resolves that ("you don't just experience one; there are many of you!"), but not in a way that satisfies me.

Let's be clear that the elephant in the room is that the current head of the EPA denies that the global warming we are seeing is caused by people and, potentially, a threat to our own existence, and will definitely cause lots of suffering and death and ecosystem collapse/damage. And that the current President of the United States also denies these things.

I think it's disingenuous to discuss the EPA's decision without acknowledging this context.

DNSSEC provides no privacy. In fact, DNSSEC provides in the real world very few benefits of any kind, which is one of the reasons it's seen so little uptake in the 22 years during which the IETF has been working on it. Its most credible technical application is as a replacement for the CA system (which is a terrible idea).

https://sockpuppet.org/blog/2015/01/15/against-dnssec/

In the real world, for privacy, there are essentially two competing approaches: DNSCrypt and DNS-Privacy. Both are unrelated to DNSSEC. DNSCrypt uses a custom protocol to encrypt DNS transactions, and DNS-Privacy uses TLS. Neither require, or even benefit from, deployment of DNSSEC.

If you're living in a high COL city for work, a Roth seems silly. My marginal tax rate (keeping roughly 55% of my bonuses) is decidedly out of whack with my standard of living (barely affording a 1BR). I'll do whatever I can to tax-shelter money in this environment.

In retirement, I can raise my standard of living while halving my spending by relocating to somewhere that's not a high-end job center. That would mean a much lower income tax bracket.

I thought the latter part of the article did a good job of getting out of standard incentive-thinking.

Why is someone good at doing something? Maybe they've responded to incentives to develop themselves to satisfy market desires. But it seems more likely that the person has themselves been part of some positive feedback cycle of self-development. You can call that feedback cycle "passion" or "a love of the craft" or "flow" or "talent" or a bunch of things – and there probably are many distinct reasons to enter into that cycle, they aren't just words for the same thing – but in the end there was self-motivation and a personal desire for improvement. Why would that stop? If you got to be good through that motivation, wouldn't you want to keep satisfying it?

Unfortunately that process is a lot more complex than one might think, like everything else involving medicine, government, or even worse, a combination of the two. Safety and efficacy are not a binary condition, either.

Questions you might ask are, how effective does a drug have to be to be approved? Is it better to have false positives or false negatives? Who pays for and conducts the studies, and who reviews them? How many FDA officials used to work for or lobby for the companies they are regulating?

> Though automatic driving should increase capacity...

Even if the advent of autonomous cars results in any increase of road capacity there is not likely to be any difference in traffic congestion. Things are likely to be the same as they are now, if not worse.

In general autonomous cars are a nightmare scenario for people who fight against the spread of automobile oriented infrastructure and urban sprawl.

The main problem is that autonomous cars massively incentivize car use, and the result of this will be that more people will choose to drive cars. This factor, combined with induced demand and combined with the unchangeable physical constraints of our built environment and car size, means that the roads will be just as gridlocked as they are now if nothing changes, and they'll be worse if politicians make the wrong decisions and expand road capacity.

Some of the main things that discourage car ownership and use are costs, such as parking costs and insurance costs. The author points out these things are decreased or go away entirely with autonomous cars. Additionally the total potential group of drivers is increased, as you no longer need a license to drive. Now the very young and very old can also drive and the total potential amount of drivers increases.

Urban politicians are best off pretending autonomous cars don't and won't exist because it's not going to be a solution to any of their problems.

> What exactly are the differences in traffic dynamics between a Lyft Line shuttle with 5 passengers and a municipal bus with an off-peak load of 10?

I'm pretty sure transportation experts already know the answer to this given that independent small bus transit of the sort Lyft Line replicates is the norm in many third world countries. Given that first world countries have universally moved to centralized routes of large capacity buses it's surely more efficient.

Tech companies should really at least talk with some people in the field they seek to disrupt before working on reinventing the wheel.

Sorry but the baby boomers are a huge part of the problem, and they have been voting for a long time. They've gotten exactly what they've been asking for, for decades. They've got the lowest tax burden of any generation. The silent generation had massive taxes, they built massive private and public infrastructure. The baby boomers built next to nothing in comparison to the silent generation. They've gotten Republicans and Democrats to pander to them.

And X and millenials in effect have higher tax through a massive national debt, chosen as policy by baby boomers for us to pay (or be dicks like they are and kick the can down the road to the next generation).

I definitely am in the camp of compulsory suicide by age 65. And I'm also in the camp of 100% inheritance tax.

Millienials have hard choices ahead.

Resists changing the price in the country that is imported into.

Let's consider this hypothetical scenario. A popular drug is sold for $100 in the U.S., but the Canadian government subsidizes it to the degree that Canadians pay $50 for it (and Canada has negotiated a price of $80). The drug can by and is imported into the U.S. and sold for $60.

There is no incentive for the manufacturer to lower the price. Even if they lower it to $80, they are losing out on some purchases who choose to buy at the higher price. They either make $80 or $100 depending on where they sold, but for ever unit that is imported, Canada is losing $30, which is partially going to subsidize the price for U.S. citizens, and partially to import/export costs.

With open export regulations on drugs, there is effectively no way to subsidize a drug for your own citizens without subsidizing it for others where it is lower than another country that allows importation as long as the combined import fees and subsidized cost are not more than the cost in the importing country.

> While Twitter is making these changes as a means of trying to simplify its service for users, it’s really just swapping out one set of rules for another. And that can be super confusing [link a].

This is spot on and buried further down the article. To me, the UX of this change just makes Twitter even more complicated now. Their UI/UX is getting so bogged down with rules that it's incredibly hard to explain Twitter to a new user. It's even confusing for a current active Twitter user to keep track of what's what.

I recently helped a friend get setup to use Twitter and until I had to explain it out loud for the first time to someone who didn't already use the service, I never realized how confusing all the rules are. They are not black and white like they used to be, and it's not easy to follow.

> The easiest way to fix this is to have cost controls like every other 1st-world country in the world on drugs

Ignoring the incredibly loaded term "first world country", that's not true. Not all other "first-world" countries implement price controls on drugs.

Secondly, as explained below, the only reason that works for them is that the single largest consumer of patent-protected drugs (the US) does not, and thereby ends up subsidizing medical research for the rest of the world. (Half of all medical research in the world is funded by the US, and even many European pharmaceutical companies fund their research from the US).

I had PRK done from a popular surgeon who has done sports stars and even NFL quarterbacks (there are many good surgeons around) and it was successful and I am happy with it but I don't think you should evangelize so much about these surgeries. Some people have terrible outcomes and their vision is completely ruined. I personally think a flap with LASIK is just too dangerous and PRK (maybe LASEK) is much safer, but even people have issues with PRK (less than LASIK).

Following the BottledWater-Pg link through to the Confluence blog [0], there's a hilarious illustration of what we're doing to ourselves.

The first flow chart [1] is simple. It shows a user, an app, and three separated data volumes that each serve a separate use case (db, cache, and index [assuming for OLAP workloads]). The chart is headlined with the adamant imperative "Stop doing this".

Instead, Confluence suggests that we start doing this [2]: user -> app -> DB -> extraction -> Kafka -> (Index <-> Cache <-> HDFS) -> monitoring -> samza. Ehhh, no thanks. I like the other option.

We need to understand that good engineering is not about making more work for ourselves. It's about simplicity and elegance, and being able to accomplish complex tasks WITHOUT wrapping ourselves up into some intractable mega-contorsion. More moving parts means more fragility and more waste. Simplicity means beauty, power, and flexibility.

Now, I'm not suggesting that such architectures are never justified. I just want to highlight that the complexity should be eschewed, not celebrated.

If you find yourself writing a blog post that converts a simple 3-step process into a complex 5-step, 9-destination process, alarm bells should be ringing, and you should be talking about why your organization (see Conway's Law) and/or the state of computer science sucks so bad that the 3-step process isn't good enough.
