No system is perfect, nor is any system free. At least taxpayer funded costs are ones that can be budgeted by the citizens and it'll be affordable. Not like what you get making 25-30k a year in the US.

I'm in Norway (immigrant). I've had no issues finding a family doctor. Other immigrants have had no issues at the hospital emergency room (I've not personally needed it). They even send me reminders to get cervical cancer screenings once every 3 years. Sometimes the appointments aren't as fast as some people would like, but I ran into similar issues in the states with some doctors and most definitely with specialists. And most times, it has been tolerable. When I've really needed in, my family doctor worked me in to see her.

The cost isn't that large. Especially not compared to what I got in the states: Folks spending 2,000+ on maintenance medications for different diseases. Going without care for things. And so on. These aren't exaggerations - these were myself, friends, family, and pharmacy customers.

Perfect here? Nope. But I'll take it.

When I was younger I taught myself HTML and started helping out on the XOOM support chat (forum?). They noticed my passion and sent me a job application form and seemed eager to bring me onboard. I was pretty excited and promptly completed it. Unfortunately I did not get the job. They had absolutely no idea I was only 14 years old and assumed I was much older. Man, I miss the innocent days of the internet.

Vulkan is owned by Khronos. Every single company you mention is a member of the Khronos group: https://www.khronos.org/members/list

Aside from the strong contingency Khronos Group carries, Vulkan's cross-platform support is in part due to its very good codebase, which enables easier integration.
"There is no allegation in the indictment" has nothing to do with what anyone believes and even less to do with what is actually true. Further, anyone definitively claiming that the outcome of the election was or wasn't affected by Russian interference is peddling partisanship and not facts because it is impossible to know.

I'm not sure English would have "retracted back to the UK" even if the US spoke Navajo as its preferred language. It's not realistic expectations of doing business with the US or watching Hollywood instead of Bollywood that explains why English became the alternative to Hindu dominance of language in Indian education, commerce and civil service. The much earlier decline of Spanish colonial influence didn't diminish the pervasiveness of its language in certain parts of the world (most where English is seldom spoken) in any meaningful way, and there really aren't any obvious corners of the globe English hadn't already spread to some extent before American cultural influence kicked in.

There's a reason why people haven't been aggressively learning Chinese despite it being the language of the world's #2 economic power, and that's because all the boots on the ground work to set up civil services, education systems and trade networks and associate their language with prestige and power had already been done by colonialists speaking other languages.
Bret does mention this at the top of the article.

This is aimed at people in the tech industry, and is more about what you can do with your career than at a hackathon. I’m not going to discuss policy and regulation, although they’re no less important than technological innovation. A good way to think about it, via Saul Griffith, is that it’s the role of technologists to create options for policy-makers.

It’s about technological options rather than policy or social ones.
In regards to wartime type effort, there is that quote at the top of the article from Saul Griffith:

People say “this is a Manhattan Project, this an Apollo Project”. Sorry, those are science projects. Fusion is a Manhattan Project or an Apollo Project... The rest of this is more like retooling for World War II, except with everyone playing on the same team.

I do agree though. Being serious about climate change is much more “war” scale than “Apollo” or “Tesla” scale.

Operational test of the LaWS weapon. I believe what they're building is meant to be a permanent installation laser weapon.

Wikipedia has this additional information:

"Following a review of several ship classes to determine which had available space, power, and cooling, it was decided that after the Ponce's planned decommissioning in 2018, the LaWS will be moved to the new amphibious transport dock ship USS Portland (LPD-27) for indefinite testing, it will utilise the space and power connections reserved for VLS to house the LaWS power and control modules while the laser itself will be bolted to the deck. As its a trial it will not be integrated with the ships Warfare Centre command & control systems."

"In January 2018 the Navy announced a $150m contract with Lockheed Martin for the production of two more LaWS units to be delivered 2020; one will be fitted to USS Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) while the other will be used for land-based testing. Further contract options could bring its value to $942.8m."

> Why do people need to persist the same culture as their parents and grandparents?

What if they cannot specify a logical reason, but still feel like it? Isn't that enough?

Do you never feel a joy and pride in following in your parents' footsteps, in having the same traditions as older ancestors, or in feeling the same rain, walking in the same forests, and struggling on the same Earth as many others from generations ancient and recent? It's when I do that that I see them, those who I know have lived, appear from the mist, that I may greet them, be in their midst, and know that I am one of them.
It’s becoming less true in the USA as well. As population densities go up, it will be difficult to afford everyone a permanent physical memorial.
That's a great idea...perhaps a quick weekend project there we'll talk on!
It's obviously quite tricky to decide such things with complete accuracy, but -- reading Popehat's account -- it's not so much Eng's actual statements, but just the disconnectedness of thought that really leaps out. (See also the YT video someone posted.)

Robert Sapolsky also has an incredibly interesting couple of lectures on YT on schizophrenia. As it turns out it's actually recognizable in vastly different cultures, though not necessarily by concrete behaviors or mannerisms, but by persistent extremely erratic and destructive behavior. I can't recall the exact example at the moment, but I think it was something like "you killed the goat outside of the 'slaughering' season and covered yourself in its blood".

Why is there not a national public social platform? Certainly this has been discussed, yet in all my years of geekery, I haven't come across a conversation about it.

Whenever the topic of YouTube/Facebook/Twitter censorship comes up, it always ends in "Well, it's their platform so they can do what they want". That's true. But don't we need a platform where they can't, that is owned by we the people?
I think the key question of the article is finally asked explicitly near the end:

> Why are we the way we are? Is Kenneth Eng a schizophrenic whose illness finds expression through florid racism? Or is he a racist asshole who is also schizophrenic?

In psychology there's the assumption that mood disorders and antisocial delusions can be distinguished from non-pathological "being an asshole." I'm not nearly well enough informed about psychiatry to say how this is done clinically, or how quantitative these methods are. But cases like Eng show that as a society we barely even try to make the distinction, or that our ability to do so is profoundly lacking.

There's thousands of homeless people who are on the streets because they're incapable of getting along socially or holding a real job. And a substantial portion of humanity is prepared to leave it at that; they didn't do anything to earn money or companionship, and they don't have what they didn't earn, so all is well. But when you can quite clearly see that one of these people is where they are because of an illness that, in better conditions, would be treated and leave them a productive and happy member of society, that rings hollow. The fact of the matter is that an amount of what we call "motivation," "agreeableness" or even "talent" come down to the functioning of relatively simple, purely mechanistic biochemical processes, which can be subject to incidental malfunction just as you can dislocate a joint or get an ingrown toenail. If you want to assign blame the individual for one and not the other, you have a lot of philosophical explaining to do.
Neat fact: the publishing of this article has caused its headline to stop being true. Since CEO equity vesting schedules are public, all it takes is a few algorithmic traders acting on this to make the strategy stop working.

Yeah, most pharma companies have clinical trial disclosure teams whose sole responsibility is disclosure to various registries. Most public universities and hospitals with large research facilities usually register studies, but the data is crap and isn't maintained with the same rigor as a pharma company. That being said pharma companies are more likely to omit confidential information regarding thier products.
I disagree with your reading. I certainly did have time for personal projects. I was a better developer than many of my current undergraduate senior peers before I ever started college, and it was because of personal projects I did while working more than full time. The internships I've had, like my future career, required that I be going to school, but in an alternate reality there's no reason I couldn't have started directly as a very junior software engineer working full time rather than only in the summer between school terms.
Oh, wish I knew the name of that phenomenon as well.
But there's very little middle ground between "there were bad people on both sides" (i.e. What Trump said after Charlottesville, clearly implying that Nazis deserve some kind of consideration amidst a protest in which people's blood was on their hands) and the outage people rightfully feel in response to comments like that. Sorry but there is no debate to be had with people like that. None. Zero.
You're assuming with certainty that there was a causal relationship. Given that assumption you were comfortable in proclaiming the counterfactual to be true. You "knew" it was true because you "knew" the mechanics of the world, thus could predict the counterfactual truth-value.

Did you use something like Hill's criteria for causation[0]? To establish anything? Like in epidemiology? It's how they can make such statements.

I do take your point about how one can be somewhat certain of a counterfactual. You couldn't be though; because you've got no criteria by which to judge the causality.

I almost registered Google.com using namezero. I could have changed history...

Edit: After searching archive.org it looks like I was way off. Google.com was registered in 1997 while NameZero wasn't launched until ~1999/2000.
what a naive worldview! it is most definitely their fault. i worked there. there are giant televisions showing surging click counts and impressions. this translates to revenue almost linearly. matter of fact anything you did that had a negative material impact on revenue, such as bot detection would be stuck in reviewboard for eternity.

to a first approximation, all the good kind people you talk about simply do not tweet that often. they mostly spend time with their families, read books, go on vacation, do research, write papers etc -thats where the good stuff they share so infrequently comes from. good stuff takes a while to germinate, it doesn’t pour out of you.

whereas the high frequency impressions generated by 24/7/365 vitriolic hatemongers, the nra & their supporting bots who have the gall to tell the classmates of the kids who died “they couldn’t care less” - those impressions and their likes and rebuttals go straight to the bottom line. Hate needs to be fed. I don’t particularly care if you like or retweet a happy incident I posted. I am already happy, I am just sharing that happiness. Theres no revenue model there. You will actively bankrupt yourself if you believe in the goodness of strangers like me. Whereas if you give a megaphone to the hatemongers, you will be flooded with bots and viral clicks and hate filled imagery and millions of impressions in a few minutes.

i will leave you with a rather strange yet true observation- some of the people whom I’d vouch for without question, incredibly nice and honest approachable engineers, tweeted exactly twice - once when they joined the org, and then on the day they quit.
Not at all. I'm certainly an outlier. You may notice that the person I replied to is also sharing their personal experience. All I'm trying to say is that that person's experience is not the only outcome of going to college. In fact, I would say that they are an outlier in the other direction.
That's always available for individuals who just copy what their parents do. You don't need external effort to save a language for that. If kids can't be bothered with their parent's dialect, why not let them ignore it?

> You are still conveniently ignoring what I said: if you want to install system with ZFS root, you have to make it. That's also the reason why I have it. I just didn't throw it away after the installation.

I'm not ignoring it; I've repeatedly addressed it and pointed out how it's not true (the Ubuntu Desktop example). Want a few more examples? When I installed ArchLinux with a ZFS root I didn't use a custom ISO (read their ZFS wiki if you don't believe me). I also didn't create a custom Ubuntu Server ISO when I installed that with a ZFS root. Both were installed from CD - the vanilla CD available on their respective websites.

Also, even if you did install from a USB key; what's to say you don't then lose said key afterwards? I'm forever am losing them.

The point is whichever argument you're going to make will be full of more exceptions than you can count. So nitpicking one over the other, like you are, is an utterly pointless exercise and a distraction from the original point I was making.

> So when I can choose between freebsd or opensolaris iso and native system that fully support whatever I need (that was the original issue, remember?)

No that wasn't the original issue. The original issue was whether there are an live CDs that can be used to rescue a degraded ZFS system - which I've demonstrated there are.

However I do agree with you that running ZFS on Linux is a little pointless when FreeBSD and the OpenSolaris forks are all solid platforms and have unencumbered native ZFS support. Though installing a ZFS root on FreeBSD was just as painful as doing so on ArchLinux (at least that was the case a few versions ago - things might have improved since but thankfully FreeBSD never really needs rebuilds so I've not had revisit that particular pain point)

> Orwell’s “Two Minutes Hate”

That's what I think of the top popularity celebrity accounts. They show us some message, millions of people see it and then some of them post agreeing/disagreeing tweets. There's no new information in them. It's just shouting into the void, where someone/something sometimes responds with a knee jerk, not because they want a conversation specifically.

It's two minutes of hate with people hating for/against the idea sitting in rooms separated by a thin wall so they can hear each other.

I realize this isn't math, but I've studied the ads that IRA paid for, I am pretty familiar with what the employees of IRA did, I've read about how much money was spent on Facebook ads (100k, and almost half of that was spent after the Nov 2016 election ), I've read about how many CPMs were generated vs how many ads American facebook viewers saw ( a few million vs 16 trillion), I'm pretty sure I know!

You can't be serious. "CNN uses washer machine to spin ..." sounds utterly ridiculous. It is ridiculous. It can only be satire. Who would ever say such a thing and mean it? Answer: only mentally disabled people. And who would take them seriously? Unless you think most people are so disabled, there's no point "debunking" obvious satire, and if so many people were so disabled, then there'd be no point debunking anything anyways.
