Small but important side-note: it is not the researchers that dedicate their lives developing the treatments and earning the 'salary' that decide on priorities or businessmodels.

It's interesting that you bring up morality. Our socio-economic 'market' system is 'a-moral' (I'm specifically not saying 'immoral'), so any aspects in which there is a strong 'moral' component should not be left to the market.

What about flu vaccines? Even govt runs ads urging people to get their flu shots, even though they have been shown to be useless.
The crux of his thesis is this: "Nothing tied to a user’s identity should be used to serve them a particular message."

But is pseudonymous behavioural data the same as a user's identity? Google can make a guess about your gender based on your search history without knowing anything about your identity. Would that type of targeting be banned? You can geolocate an IP address trivially - would location-based ads be banned? The notion of what constitutes "user identity" could tie up court cases for years if ads are banned and companies challenge it.

I would like to do the work and get paid for it. If you don't want a job like that, don't take one.

The reasonable defense of sorts of restrictions is that workers are stuck in some sort of collective action problem; none of them want to work overtime, but they can't coordinate. But that argument is dead in the water if it can't account for different preferences.
I thought the relevant statistic was deaths per kilometer traveled? Otherwise you get countries where people simply drive more skewed higher despite any given ride being just as safe/safer.
You need to turn off email notifications but carefully select which groups to leave notifications on for (and some you can use the “highlight” setting). Then every day or two you can use the “notifications” tool (the link on the left side bar) and quickly check all your notifications exhaustively and be sure not to miss anything (and as you do that refine your list of groups).

Used this way it’s an amazing tool for cross team collaboration, way superior to Slack which I used in my previous job but couldn’t keep up with.

>"Alcohol has risks. The article discusses some and reasons why they may not be adequately appreciated. If that isn't useful as advice while forming an opinion about alcohol as part of your lifestyle, maybe the problem is less the article and more that you're not interested in making that decision based off an understanding of the risks."

I set about intending to share it as advice to those females in my life it could help. It laid heavily in to the notion that moderate alcohol consumption might have health benefits in other areas (heart) - strictly suggesting all the researchers had been bought off by the alcohol lobby.

So then I was searching for the references to the studies excluding prior users ... and viola the smallest confession that recent studies that they don't cite contradict their diatribe.

Alcohol has risks in "public health" including violence, drink driving, etc., but they're not personal risks for a middle aged woman (say) and so are irrelevant.

The professor who said basically that even if alcohol would benefit you they wouldn't recommend it is looking at wider public health, fair enough, but that doesn't help an individual make choices on their lifestyle/diet.

I don't mind drinking, I drink occasionally in part due to papers linking it to better outcomes wrt heart disease.
It does not say "companies should not bother with curing Hep C like illnesses since there's no money in it."

Critical reading skills and leaving out strawmen/non-existent arguments like "there's no money in it" are required.
That's falling pretty strongly on the nature side of the nature vs nurture debate.
But that's the fundamental issue, it's not actually employment. Why does everyone seem to ignore that the job of "professional driver" already exists so anyone who does want full-time employment can already do it?

Every single driver I've ever asked (in 1000s of rides taken over 7 years) has always said they prefer the freedom of being able to work when and where they want. Students, retirees, stay at home parents, and others who specifically do not want to have a FT job.

This is the kind of authoritarian bullshit that putin does to keep the oligarchs in line. You can be sure that if trump remains in office, he’ll keep going after wealthy people that criticize him using any lever he can reach in the federal government, and there are a lot of levers. And he’ll use different levers to reward people that fall in line.

It’s bullying, mob-boss tactics.
Yes, exhanges is where you can buy companies that meet certain criteria, such as publishing earnings forecasts and many other things to the public and not to anyone ahead of time. Devices to protect small fish against being ripped off by company insiders.

A sale isn't forbidden, but soliciting is. SpaceX cannot solicit the general public. If they can explain that they reached you because you're Elon's former secretary's cousin and you met Elon at a birthday party, they may choose to include you in a financing round. Otherwise, they'll just say no, because you're not worth the risk/cost of having to answer pointed questions from the regulator.

(The regulator might not punish them, but just having to answer questions quickly eats up expensive lawyer hours. And then there's the whole question of who you are. If you're a shareholder you're entitled to answers, so pedants owning a single share can be a real bother.)
This is probably the worst idea I've seen materialize in a long time.

As a Sydneysider, I see it as the state government giving up, and trying to sell their ineptitude as a good thing. Successive governments have botched transport to the point where it is no longer possible to commute between large sections of Sydney. For years now, I've had to accept that the locations of my potential employment are limited within Sydney, if I want to have any waking time overlapping with the rest of my family. Now we are being told that it's our own silly fault for expecting that if we live in Sydney then we can have a job in Sydney.

I'm guessing that this declaration will have little real effect. The government will try to create new job centres out of Parramatta and Liverpool, as they have been for decades, but the new efforts will he just as effective as the old and people will continue to commute to the CBD and North Sydney arc, where a big chunk of the jobs will remain.

It's not a world leading bit of town planning, but the results of poor planning.

All ads on TV are based on user identity. Banning ads would be nice :D.
I recall listening to an LSE presentation by the mayor of Lagos, where they split the city into several CBDs so people could commute and work around one of those rather than having to come into the single centre. I think this is the general idea where a city would have several central areas so that each of them becomes a functioning city in its own right and it would lessen the peak hour intensity of travel for each of them.
Indeed! Conceptually REDIRECT is _very_ similar to TPROXY. The subtle difference is that REDIRECT seems to rewrite the destination-host-and-port while TPROXY keeps it the same, only does the routing earlier.

In practical terms to recover original target in REDIRECT you have to use the obscure SO_ORIGINAL_DST, while for TPROXY getpeername() will just work.

By this token TPROXY is a bit easier to use. This is for TCP. UDP is a bit harder.

>There are no good or evil regional powers, only national interests and the smaller nations which either get in the way of those, or help you achieve them.

Be that as it may, it still matters how the people in power think and behave. Some systems of government are better suited to reduce violence than others. For example, a dictator is probably more likely to order military intervention than a person who has to justify their actions to advisors, a congress and eventually a whole nation.

Obviously as you say things get murky when there are large interests at stake and no side is wholly good or wholly evil, but still some can be more wrong than others.
This is going from the assumption that ad companies target ads based the potential value they create for you. The only goal of any targeted ad is to persuade you to voluntarily transfer your money to the company that paid for the ad. The only relevant metric to determine the usefulness of the ad is how much value it creates for them.

I think you have to be pretty naive not to see that the incentives that determine which ads you will and will not see have nothing to do with your best interests.

I hate when people do this, what if I download the app and it will be garbage ? Id lose money, that's also a reason for pirating content, when I search for a book on a certain topic I usually would discard 3 or 4 matches before choosing what I need, and the only way to discard these matches would be to read part of the book, the part which usually doesn't get in the previews.

Piracy is not just a way of getting content for free it's also a way not to lose money.

Low quality content is being intentionally sold to you. Just look at some books on programming, they trick you on thinking that they do have quality info, but in fact are just lazy rewrites of specifications or man pages. I also remember reading from HN about a guy who made millions by selling total garbage books on amazon.

Eventually if I found a good book I buy it as a way to thank the author, but buying books before reading them it is just a way to motivate people to produce more mediocre content.
This is a very narrow view. The usa is not the world
I don't think It's a problem of level of investment from Microsoft. They have quite a good chunk of top level engineers working across the board on .NET. They are making lots of progress in performance area in C#, including the work on AOT on CoreRT...

No, in my opinion, the critical issue that .NET has been facing is not to be able to enter the academic circles. I remember to work in Java 20 years ago in my engineering school, and Java was already there... going to the same school a few months ago to present .NET and Unity... and students were literally discovering .NET! The amount of complete misinformation is very scary there... That's the unfortunate backslash of years of Microsoft not being friendly with the Linux&OSS community (closed source, no OSS, proprietary APIs to lock users to their OS, trying even to play not nicely with OSS...etc).

Now a lot has changed at Microsoft for the past years to improve this situation, it is definitely not the same, a lot more open. But still, look, .NET is barely visible in the academic circles. It will take years of education to re-balance things. In the mean time, the Java community has been working so closely with academic circles for years that they have been able to bring many interesting breakthrough... not counting the super large ecosystem that Java has, directly and indirectly because of that. There are a lot more Java OSS friendly developers... while a large part of .NET developers are more corporate-closed-source developers that are not sharing anything... despite the .NET OSS movement that has been slowly growing in the past years... yet, not at the level of Java.

Though, luckily, the design process of the C# language has been a lot more streamlined than Java (faster evolution in many areas, better choices at the beginning - value types, a lot more control of memory layout, no generic type erasures...) and in my opinion, been able to bring more interesting features than Java has been able to bring.
Also, performance wise, Java is today, in many tests, behind C# and .NET Core. So things are not that bad after all.

About the Jit Compiler, I'm really please to see this Graal initiative in Java, as it can help to further bump the idea that it would be very relevant for .NET as well!

Going forward no one would consider Kafka a suitable system for any kind of production systems. Immutable persistent data already caused issues for HIPAA compliance, but now it is virtually illegal.

While I find it difficult to align myself with the idea of a ban on anything without thoroughly evaluating repercussions, I find the following argument tempting.

"Companies would have to make all ads on its networks publicly viewable and searchable"

Ability to specifically search for "promoted" or "sponsored" information on a network based on keywords, texts, labels can transparently display what has is being displayed and to how many users, and maybe even what demographics. Leaves enough room for whistleblowers and regulators to spot foul-play.

Flu vaccines aren't useless, but they also aren't 100% effective. The CDC reckoned they reduce the risk by about 40-60%.

Flu is a variable pathogen, which means that it evolves to look different from an immune perspective over time. It follows clustered patterns, where the flu strain will look pretty similar (and vaccines will be more effective), then it "jumps" to a new cluster every few years or so (and the vaccines will likely be less effective). There's a whole bunch of work goes into predicting what flu strains make most sense to use for the vaccine in a given flu season.
90% of the article is about forward/backward facing child seats. But also the article spells out the the paper it was based on falsely claimed there was a significant difference between them and was retracted, restudied and agreed to not be statistically significant. Then it goes on to say, that Sweden does use rear-facing seats as though that somehow proves that there is a statistical significance.

Seems like the article could have been cut down to these two paragraphs:

> Because accidents are inevitable, Swedish regulations aim to make them nonlethal. Roads rely more on roundabouts, less on intersections. Cars are not allowed to turn at all when pedestrians are crossing. There are national camera enforcement policies. Sweden also focuses on pedestrian bridges, and separates cars from bicycles and oncoming traffic.

> Far fewer people drive under the influence of alcohol; stricter policing has reduced impaired driving to less than 0.25 percent of tested drivers vs. about 1.5 percent of American drivers. (Sweden also has a more stringent definition of driving under the influence, 0.02 percent vs. 0.08 percent.) The speed limit in areas where cars might come into contact with pedestrians (think all of New York City) is less than 20 m.p.h. Speed bumps and other traffic-calming interventions are common. The average cost of obtaining a driver’s license is the equivalent of more than $1,800.
Our 4 year old daughter uses a Swedish rear-facing car seat, and she seems fine with it. I'm sure she would prefer a front facing one because she'd be able to see more, but since she was 3 she's been able to see pretty well. It's definitely not uncomfortably small for her.

A woman asked a friend of ours "how do you get your kid to eat brown bread?" and our friend replied "she doesn't know there's any other kind". I think the same applies here - we've never had a problem with the seat because she almost never goes in a front-facing one. Even when she has used a friend's seat for whatever reason, it's never been an issue getting her back into hers. And she's a pretty argumentative kid.

Parramatta already is a functioning CBD with infrastructure issues that have been present for the last few years as its become more and more popular for realtor companies to develop. This is the one area that I could see benefiting from this plan.

>Impose Interbreeding

Sorry, too extreme for me. I do not subscribe to your reasoning that any form of racism is acceptable - "because scientific purity".

If you can't see what it is with 'racial cleanliness', I suggest you go have a look at the places its been happening for, say .. the last 300 years. You'll see plenty of reasons why there should not be any kind of racial policies, enabled by science, that allow "cleansing of so-called undesirables".

I mean this sincerely, humans cannot be trusted with their own race.
