“Conservatives are right to be skeptical,” he added. “Take any politicized issue that is connected to some disagreement about scientific fact.

I do think we should add a code sample prominently on the page, however. I've always find it really frustrating when I look at a programming language and can't get a quick sense of how it looks. If a language looked like, say, APL, I'd be reluctant to use it even if it had an impressive ecosystem.

I just wanted to point out that most cheap (and therefore plastic) sunglasses are actually perfectly fine in terms of UV protection. Polycarbonate is UV opaque.

If you Google this subject there are several websites where people went out and bought cheap an expensive sunglasses and had them tested and reached the same conclusion: UV protection does not justify expensive Raybans.

People can keep their old Steam games and still use Discord. That's what people have been doing since Discord came out (along with Epic Games, Blizzard, EA, etc.).

I'm curious to see how the social stickiness of Discord will affect their foray into a games/app store. I believe that, for multiplayer games at least, people first fire up the way they want to talk with their friends and then set about playing a game. From there, you grow the product into managing and buying your games.

If Discord provides some differentiated social benefits to the games bought through their store, then I could see this doing quite well.
Deep understanding of the system, plus personal experience. There is a repository of OpenAPS users' logs, accessible to a small pool of researchers, but (for medical privacy reasons) there isn't any central fleet monitoring. Each user has detailed logs of what their own install saw and did and why, and is expected to monitor it closely. (And we do in fact monitor them--not just as a precaution, but as a necessary part of the remaining decision-making we still do ourselves. The monitoring requirement is much more manageable and less time-sensitive than it would be in the alternative, without a closed-loop system.)

I have, in fact, had incorrect dosing happen, including the worst-case scenario of an incorrect large bolus at night. (That happened because of a bug on the git head branch, not a release version, which is much riskier. As a developer of the system that's a risk I knowingly accept.)

And that's not actually that bad. The important thing to realize is that the point of comparison isn't a zero error rate, it's the error rate a human would make. The worst-case scenario is quite well understood: excess insulin, up to a configured dosage limit. And that's an error which humans definitely make--it's not even a rare mistake, it's a mistake that a human doing everything manually will make multiple times per year, every year.

> Google has root, so it can change how app signing works at any time.

This argument boils down to "what if the government compels Google to infect your phone with spyware", and it's already been established elsewhere in this thread that using a smartphone for sensitive communication might not be the best idea if the NSA is after you.

Regarding advantages of Signal over WhatsApp, I just gave you one in the message you replied to. WhatsApp provides a lot of metadata to their servers (this is necessary for some of their features, like group invite links). And while end-to-end encryption protects the contents of your messages, Facebook can still observe when and how much you chat with whom.

Some further advantages off the top of my hat: Signal has reproducible builds (on Android), the Desktop client works when your phone is off. They're also working on private contact discovery (I don't know how far this has progressed): https://signal.org/blog/private-contact-discovery/

The only way to really fight something like this is to make GMO's and the people who produce these plant varieties into some sort of boogeyman, no? We see this happen all over the world, not just in the US. The current level of misinformation about the safety of GMOs is already very overblown in the world. Don't get me wrong, GMOs are being weaponized for monetary purposes in, what I believe, are very unethical ways. But those arguments are not what you see most when arguments against them are made.

I just don't see any other angle to attack nitrogen fixing corn other than to make some sort of GMO boogeyman out of it. It is really amazing the amount of misinformation that is populating the world for the purpose of protecting cash cows.

I'm not saying the "one milligram" number is to be believed. I'm saying they had a large pill, packed with a curious amount of powder, which a handful of people shared.

Sugar cubes are a commonly used substrate.

I could readily imagine someone in the 1960's, somewhere along the supply chain having a quantity of prepared sugar cubes looking dubious after changing hands too many times, and repackaging them one-by-one into capsules (maybe packing more than one cube into a single large capsule), with a pestle and mortar, and topping them off with regular powdered sugar.

I think you're expecting other people to operate with a degree of precision and mistrust, neither of which stacks up against the way people really operate on the ground.

California progressives have a sort of "feast the beast" strategy. Provide massive benefits on loan. When those loans come due, raise taxes to pay for them. Repeat until the government fails due to overconsumption.

I worked in an medium sized research lab while I was doing my graduate work in BioEngr. While I was doing research as an undergraduate I felt I had much more leniency to be free-thinking and out-there with my research/papers.

Once in grad school the reality of winning grants in 6-12 month cycles meant that the most successful PhD's were really much better at marshaling undergrads and master's students to do their work for them, rather than being elite, creative scientists themselves. I saw a lot of time being wasted tweaking previous research into something 'novel' so we could cite ourselves as much as possible and still put up a good introduction about doing something to improve society.

Ultimately, the lack of long-term vision coupled with a pretty unstable PI made me reconsider the academia route. As an aside, I was doing all of my advisor's "peer-review" of articles, reproducibility is a huge issue, I saw a ton of funky stuff submitted that I personally didn't have the time or budget to check, but couldn't in good faith outright reject, because I was also sending out papers to be reviewed.

With Steam comes the achievements, the trading cards, etc. Sure, you can copy all of that, but the challenge is that Discord isn't fighting Steam on day one, they're fighting an established library. How do you convince someone with 99 games in Steam that their 100th should be bought through Discord instead?

Sure, people can use Discord for chat while playing Steam games, but Discord really doesn't benefit from that. They need to convert chat users into game buyers, and I think you'd need something like Games Anywhere (or more simply, like GOG Connect), to bridge in what people already bought to start the process along. Bonus if you can find a way to bring over people's achievements and other progress.

The blog mentions that Julia is supposed to be a general purpose language, and not a language built specifically for scientific computing. Is that wrong?

The first impression does leave me thinking that using Julia for different programming domains like distributed internet-facing servers or web services is not something it was built for.
People in tech tend to take extreme positions in the debate about supplying tech to the military. But the extreme positions -- whether they be pacifist and assume all military engagement is bad, or militarist and stick to "my country right or wrong" -- ignore the real issues.

Even the author seems to present a false dichotomy: either tech is benevolent to society or it is driven entirely by the profit motive. Tech can have several motives at once, and one of them may include ensuring the national security of the country that allows large tech companies to operate smoothly and peacefully in a relatively uncorrupt and democratic society.

Does tech make money off of defense? Of course. That should come as news to no one. The DoD is the Fortune 1, the largest customer in the world. There's nothing wrong with selling to them per se. And there's nothing inherently wrong with being "compliant", even though the author seems to consider that a fault.[0][1] We should assume that all major tech companies are fully compliant. The exist in a matrix of laws they must obey.

One of the important questions we should be asking is: Do we want the US defense establishment to run on good, modern tech or crappy, outdated tech? Large sections of it still run on VAX and Cobol, and they will for the foreseeable future.

It's my personal belief that society is engaged in a global asymmetric war against militant groups, in a technological context where individual actors have access to more and more powerful weapons of destruction. I would hope that the organizations in charge of defending civilians would have the best technology at their disposal to detect and prevent attacks.

It's also clear that Western liberal society in particular is under attack by hostile state actors intent on destabilizing the EU and the US democratic system. The field of battle is online, and if you don't have good tech in that fight, you lose.

I'm not saying the US military is right all the time, or undeserving of criticism. But I would ask people who think good technology should not be supplied to the US military: what outcome do you want? Have you considered the scenario where West liberal democracy loses, and we replace the imperfect system we have with a much worse, authoritarian system without democratic feedback loops. Because that's the endgame if we lose, and we lose without good tech.

True, but the point is more about that the government (and the people) went after the producer of the drug, despite that producer not really having screwed up, and left the ones that had screwed up (state, mothers and doctors) alone.

Furthermore, the law did not really support these cases. But when you cripple 10.000 babies, law does not matter. Plus we all know they went after the company, not because it was at fault, but because they could band together against it.

If that were to happen to an open source project (and that seems a reasonable guess for open source "biohacks"/medicine when they screw up) ... the authors will go to jail for life and die bankrupt. It doesn't matter what license, it doesn't matter what contracts say, it wouldn't even matter if you have personal videos of every user saying they will never hold you responsible with a paper around it signed in blood by both the user and a public notary.

THAT's why we have the pharmaceutical industry we have.
Hmm. If I've been in the dark for a while and then pick up my phone, the brightness hurts my eyes for a moment until they adjust to it. When I put the phone down, it takes a moment before I begin to be able to see things in the dark room. Doesn't that indicate that my pupils were initially dilated in the darkness and then constricted when I began looking at my bright phone?

I wonder how significant the difference is between pupil dilation while looking at a bright phone in a dark room and while looking at a bright phone in a bright room.

There's an enormous federal investigation into the political operatives of only one party. The counts of corruption are far higher for one party.

When news comes out about indictments and criminal trials of those in only one party, it's not because the media outlet has abandoned neutrality.
> Having a cellphone != understanding the technology and how it works

That wasn't the assertion made, nor related directly to the assertion I responded to. Having an understanding of "how it works" is a weak way of couching a ton of assumptions without explaining what you mean. There's no point in trying to argue about what's in your head.

The statement I take issue with is:

> Are computerized elections understandable to laypersons?

Yes. How they work at a cursory level of practical operation and effect, is less sophisticated than any cellphone since flip-phones.
Same - I have flux setup to be active during work hours (at work) and evening hours (at home) so it's filtering blue light on all my devices. When I accidentally close it or turn it off for a movie, I feel like a vampire in sunlight. I have such an easier time falling asleep thanks to flux.
> Why can neither side just follow a sane general strategy of setting taxes and choosing the best benefits to fit under the revenue generated?

Why be reasonable when you can get benefits for yourself and have someone else down the road pay for them?

I wonder when this will break though. California has had it comparatively easy with a surging economy (at least in the Bay area), but the next recession will likely send all the pensions even further into the red.

At least on my phone (LG G5), the lowest brightness setting is still incredibly bright in an otherwise dark room. I use Twilight[0] to dim it further, though unfortunately Google changed Android so it can't affect the soft buttons.

> People who are into more secure communication do not randomly click on anything

I think you overestimate people. I told my wife to install Signal because she needed a password for something and it was way to complicated for her to remember. I know what the signal app is and could likely avoid fakes - she would not. I think it is often the case that only one party of the conversation is security minded, while the others just trust that person.

> And the ressouce-abuse. Can this really be a thing?

You know NTP, the protocol for sharing what time it is? That gets abused badly [1]. If you have an open service, there are ways it can be abused. This would without a doubt lead to DDoS-like resource abuse where lazy clients don't cache things properly and just hog server resources. There are ways to limit things like that- but they aren't always simple. Also, like I said before, Signal isn't in the API business.
