A couple of quick comments:

1. EDITING! Especially because of #2, but not just because of that. I should be able to edit a ToDo, e.g., to add a task or deadline after the fact. Sometimes ToDos start w/out deadlines but grow to need them. Sometimes all I know is that I have a ToDo, but don't know the subtasks yet.

2. Hitting ENTER does different things in different fields, which violates my expectations. E.g., hitting ENTER in the title SAVEs the ToDo (and, because of the lack of #1, that's it, I'm done), while hitting ENTER in DESCRIPTION or TASKS adds to them - and it is inconsistent: ENTER creates new tasks while only giving the appearance of creating paragraphs in the description.

3. If I enter a non-date in the Date field, the results are inconsistent and lossy: If I enter "tomorrow" or "next week", the right things happen (more or less, see below), but if I enter "fred" that information disappears - there is no validation, I can live with that, but throwing away my information is wrong.

3a. If I enter "next week", I'm not sure the date should be 7 days hence - it should be "next week", as in "the week of xxx"; in my mind, this is something I want to see next week, not on a specific date. I'm not sure how to handle this smoothly, but I'm pretty sure it's not by forcing it into "7 days from right now".

4. If I had editing, I would want cloning, that is, copy-paste-and-edit, to use a ToDo as a template.

5. Recurring ToDos.

6. Expand All - by default, ToDos are collapsed so that descriptions are not shown - I'd like to be able to see all descriptions without having to click on each title.

7. It's not obvious that clicking on the title is what is required to bring up the description.

8. Hover functionality? E.g., have a compact "minimized" view that shows ToDo details in a "popup" when you hover the mouse on the item (like how Wikipedia shows you a summary of a target page when you hover over a link).

9. Search. Table stakes! Must have!

10. Multi-select. If I finish or get tired of a bunch of ToDos at a time, I'd like to select them all then apply a bulk action, e.g., delete, mark done, without having to drag-and-drop each one or delete and confirm each one, etc.

11. Is there a trash/archive for deleted items, just in case? These days, that should almost be table stakes, must haves.

12. Clicking on "create one" should do the same thing as the "+" button - it seems odd to read "create one" then have to find the place on the screen that allows me to do that.

More as I play....
I believe the subtle point is that Struensee did these actions for the good of the people, only for the people to then use these new tools against him.

I'm not sure we know of Struensee's motivations, but we can see that he advocated for and temporarily obtained some outcomes that can be seen as almost universally good for the people.

Regardless, maybe one takeaway can be, just because you have given your life towards something good for others, don't expect to be thanked.
Now you are the one raising non-serious arguments. The probability of quantum fluctuations unlocking your phone is indistinguishable from zero.

On the other hand, the probability of a skilled adversary introducing a back door that evades known methods of detection is very much distinguishable from zero. Heck, the probability of a bug introducing a back door that evades known methods of detection (at least for a while) is distinguishable from zero! That's why jailbreaks are possible.
Many departments do standardize their note formats. The problem is that the note is directly connected to billing, and the billing requirements are absurd. I'm a medical student, and I recently visited my PCP for a medication refill. I have no significant medical history whatsoever, and the visit took no more than 15 minutes as expected. A month later, I was given a bill for $330 stating my hospital visit was level 4 acuity (there are 5 levels, with level 5 being ICU-like care). I looked into how the billing level is determined, and I found this article explaining how components of the notes are tied to billing levels [1]. Basically, by including 6 elements to the physical exam rather than 5, you can bill at a higher tier. There are several other areas that are tied to billing like this, including the family history, social history, etc. My PCP had completely filled out her standardized note to include every little detail I had mentioned—many of which were totally irrelevant to my current issue.

I talked to some other physicians about this, and I learned that hospital departments use their standardized notes to include as much detail (i.e. bloat) as possible so that physicians can bill at higher tiers since billing is tied to the number of details included in the note.

>They're saying it's difficult to get people to install an app even to test drive them, and saying it's easier to get them to visit your webpage.

But getting people to visit your website being easy does not mean that is where you should host your app. I don't believe people are going to say "Wow this website was useful, let me pin it to my screen." I believe that is a niche thing that nerds do, and has awful results for the rest.

>The claim is that they aren't even downloading apps to test them in the first place.

But there is nothing here to show that a PWA is the solution to get someone to download the app! The assertion is that the download is the issue, which there isn't any evidence for. If downloading apps was such a problem, why would people constantly be test driving apps? They may uninstall because of space or tracking concerns, or maybe it's a cleanliness thing, but I am refuting the base claim that "space on your phone" being a deterrent means that PWA is a solution.

Get the download through marketing, hold the download through value.

And rightfully so. When pretty much everyone benefited from lax climate controls and externalities that are not directly included in the price of a product or service, why should only on special group pay for it? If there were a global move towards pricing in climate change into the end price, however that may work, I would strongly suggest that everyone has to pay their share. Or am I missing something here?

There was an interesting discussion earlier on here about the potential emotional harms of suggesting to a patient that they are likely to develop Alzheimer's within a few years (an AI based early detection system).

On the one hand, you might catch it and treat it earlier. On the other hand, it will color every interaction you have with others and cause stress every time you try to remember something. The potential harm may very well exceed the harm of not telling the patient (up to and including suicide).

If a doctor suspects something but lacks evidence, they may simply make a note to look for more signs at subsequent follow-ups. A patient seeing that may read more into it than is there, and subsequently suffer undue stress or paranoia.
> and both resulted in times of prosperity

Both occurred during (some) times of prosperity. That's an entirely different premise than giving the tax rate credit for the prosperity. FDR never once saw sustained economic prosperity during his tenure in office. That isn't a statement on his policies, rather, his time in office coincided with the great depression and WW2. He died before the post war boom took hold.
She cites Lincoln and FDR as evidence that radical ideas can be good ones. But "there have been radical ideas that have been good" does not imply "this radical idea is a good one".

Her idea may in fact be good, but on this point, her logic does not work.

As for the idea itself: IIRC, there seem to be significant second-order effects that keep the federal government's income at 18-22% of GDP, no matter what the tax rates are. So raising the rates like this may provide significantly less new income than she expects.

What's more, if you have a pot of new money, there will be competing ideas for how to spend it. This green initiative may be a good idea. Somebody else may have a good idea - say, Medicare for all. And a different somebody may have another good idea - say, guaranteed basic income. The problem is, even if raising the taxes provides the expected money, the money is only enough for one of these ideas. You can only spend that pot once. But Congress being Congress, they're going to want to spend it three times. (Note well: This specific paragraph is not a criticism of Ocasio-Cortez's idea; it's a criticism of Congress in general.)
At my workplace, all attributes in the database are encrypted. In fact, we are contractually obligated to do so. This does not limit the use of the database. Rather, it changes how we use the database. i.e. We decrypt, store working sets in memory, re-encrypt prior to storing in the database.
Some provider organizations hire medical scribes to sit in the exam room and do real time EHR data entry so that the doctor can focus on the patient.
In the absence of deliberate algorithms a site like YT has few things to fall back on:

- Sort by time.

- Sort by creator/channel.

- Sort by creator selected content type (fallible).

- Search (a la Google, which sucks on Youtube).

- ???

I wonder if these would be sufficient? Maybe something like Reddit/HN is necessary; some human aggregation and interaction. Would a Reddit style interface work well for video?

A landing page with trending videos (upvotes, comments, threads, etc.), links out to popular subjects/sub-reddits, and so on. Perhaps with an interface like HN which forces people together in one kind of communication (in threads), generous wait periods for new members, and so on...

I suppose that only considers the viewer's use-case. What about monetization? What about creators?

I'd assume that we have a lot of data with cannabis now. I'm guessing that it is a significant net win.

Drug use is so demonized that it will take a lot of time and easily messaged education to change that.
"given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow" is a reasonable theory but it includes some dubious assumptions like the distribution of eyeballs over code being or uniform (or proportional to use), frictionless planes, and spherical cows. We may be stuck with spherical cows, but hopefully something like this can help smooth over the eyeball distribution assumption.
Or on tax reform.
This sounds identical to our workflow with git for all practical purposes. 1) New story gets a branch. 2) Branch gets squashed and rebased on most recent master before PR. PRs are generally under 1,000 lines changed. 3) PR is merged to master after code review.
These days, I mainly use three old i5 boxes with 8GB RAM and SSD RAID10. Two with 4x128GB and one with 6x256GB. They're all VirtualBox hosts, and run various pfSense VPN-gateway VMs, Whonix VMs, and other workspace VMs.

I also have some old rack-mount servers. But their fan-control systems are all Windows-based, and they're impossibly loud with Linux. I keep meaning to do some crude electrical hack -- basically a manual speed control -- but just haven't gotten around to it. And there's also the fact that I don't need that much muscle locally. Because I like to keep my network activity minimal.

Everything is on a 0.25kWh UPS (3kW maximum load). With a kill switch on my desk. The UPS and a pfSense perimeter router/firewall (and a rack with the old servers) live in a well-ventilated closet.

In federal accounting how does one allocate tax revenue to a project? Is it not just a big fungible resource that then gets allocated? To me the funding doesnt seem to be the problem in so much as making tackling climate change and allocating actual dollars.
I'm impressed that the MLB, with ~2X the number of games, manages to travel less than the NBA. I wonder if it's a venue availability issue or a better traveling salesman algorithm.
Assuming the game had no server component beyond the distribution itself (i.e. no online multiplayer or similar) there's no reason you couldn't just save the distributed files and open them in an appropriate client (namely wasm-friendly browsers as of right now).

It seems like the method assumes stationarity, can anyone comment on how this might be useful if one has brown spectrum?

It also seems like it requires some normalization of the data, this should counted as an effective parameter of the method.

In any case, it’d be useful to a GLM with these profiles against bug or outage reports, log rates etc.
Not a word about the logistics of making such a huge change in such a short amount of time? Surely AOC realizes that money isn't the only obstacle, but also replacing an enormous amount of infrastructure. When you think about how ubiquitous our usage of gasoline, home heating oil, CNG for heating and cooking, and on and on, it quickly becomes clear that while finances would be very difficult, that's dwarfed by the amount of physical change that would be required.

Start looking at how all the replacement transportation can be put in place 11 years - either getting all cars off the road, and manufacturing new electric ones; or building other mass transit that can serve everyone (and how long does it take to get a train line built these days?). How are we going to find enough building contractors to install electric heat or heat pumps into every house that uses oil or gas, and to build and install electric stoves?

And of course there's the upheaval of jobs for all the people in the current industries, and trying to find a place for them in the new industries.

Money's not the bottleneck here, we're more constrained by logistics.

iPads with a keyboard are awesome at communication tasks such as email, IM, and A/V calls. Some advantages of iPads over laptops for these tasks.

* Laptops go to sleep when not plugged in or being interacted with. The iPad can provide sound notifications all day on battery power.

* LTE means that the communication lines are always open

* Almost everyone treats iOS apps as first class citizens. Skype on macOS is often buggy. Linux often has outdated clients.

* Instant power on

* Longer battery life

* Notifications appear even when the app is not running.

* A really sane operating system update schedule and procedure.

* A really sane app update procedure.

I moved from engineer to manager around 3 years ago at an SF based "unicorn" and moved up the ranks into senior management. I tend to break it down into three areas: managing up, down, and across. Up: understand your audience and learn to connect your work to the broader picture/business value without all of the engineering detail. Across: manage your capacity (resources on your team), learn how to say "no" with justification, get better at "business" and speaking to non-technical folks, be good at cross functional communication. Down: servant leadership, align engineers interests with their work at the company, help them grow their careers, be firm in ensuring everyone is treated fairly, and stay technical so you can align on the technical direction from others.
> When pretty much everyone benefited from lax climate controls and externalities that are not directly included in the price of a product or service

I think the argument would be that the ultra-wealthy benefited more from a carbon-based economy than the average worker, in the form of their accumulated fortune.
Once you begin with the premise of “I need an open source business model”, it leads you down a path of “I need to monetize my project” rather than “I need to build a product that delivers value”

And where do the resources come from to hire people and build it?
Almost certainly nothing at all.
Human being is fundamentally weak. The worst and mostly uncontrollable factor leading to addiction is not having a friend when you really need someone. It's not someone's fault. If person is assole and that's why can't befriend anyone, maybe it's because that person was traumatized by cruelty or ignorance in the past. We are weak and can't handle our lives alone at all.
Mostly just that the MLB plays series of games.
Everything is centralized on the internet. People quite often forget that most of the internet backbone is vulnerable to all sort of attacks (BGP hijacking) or even just mass surveillance because most of the traffic is going through few devices. Unless I can directly reach your computer on the network without a 3rd party provider which can deny me that access you can't be seriously thinking about decentralization.

Another issue that I see with these projects that claim to be decentralized, for example ipfs.io is that they do not consider worst case scenarios so they cannot have a service level agreements on their service. Most of the customer networks are asymmetric, you have much more bandwidth to download content than to upload so if you are providing services than you are going to saturate your uplink. Nodes can also be turned off, worst case scenario is that all of the nodes are off that has a piece of data that you can't recover from anywhere else.

As of everything going to be built on the blockchain in the future, most definitely not. I think 2019 going to wipe out most of the cryptocurrencies and we are going to see very few successful blockchain (or more like distributed ledger) projects succeeding in the corporate space. Maybe there will be some use cases for blockchain/DLT like food traceability (one project i have contributed to) and customer warranty for example but all this hype that everything will be running on blockchain will just fade.
I've never really understood why there are brackets in the first place, can't we just write a function to calculate your taxes based off your total income?
If you hire someone and pay them lots of money for their expertise, that's the definition of an expert. If you consult someone for their expertise and they pay you (or your party/campaign) lots of money, that's the definition of a lobbyist.

I'm still at loss how that form of corruption is not just legal but apparently completely accepted in the US.
I think this is finally a very insightful comment about a common unspoken approach in the VC industry.

Most tax brackets are adjusted every couple of years for the average person. doubt it's becomes an issue for tax brackets.
There's really not much equivalence to anywhere, other than the different biomes resemble ones you'd see in the US (outside of a side mission to Guarma, a fictional island near Cuba). There's a swamp area similar to Louisiana with a delta city called Saint Denis (pronounced San Da Knee). To the West (yes, West) of that is the 'southern' town of Rhodes with plantations and antebellum houses. Nearby is a former Civil War battlefield. Further west is the typical wild west frontier, with the nothern areas being colder and mountainous down to the more southern areas being grass and desert plains.

In game there is talk about real places (like New York, Cuba, Tahiti) but there is little context to where those are in respect to where the player is.

This isn't about trust, no one cares whether a rich person can handle their money. That's not why they pay taxes or that those who aren't super rich pay taxes because they can't be trusted.

That instead of relying on the christian idea of charity that we instead fund a society that can create a more stable environment.

This would only require a name, not a passport number. A passport number would simply be of no use here, there doesn't exist any¹ automated mechanism for Belarus to verify foreign passport numbers.

¹Well OK, with biometric passports it is possible to cryptographically verify some data.
