I'm surprised you had trouble finding Fravia. When I was writing my own Internet search guide ( https://www.gwern.net/Search ) recently, I had no trouble finding Fravia. Unfortunately, his guide is obsolete at this point and I didn't get much out of it.
Isn't http://curlie.org/ (ex-DMOZ) the most Yahoo!-style-like directory?
Now that I look, it does seem like a lot of them are open air cards. I have a mini ITX case, so I only ever look at blower cards since I don't really have the airflow to carry the GPU heat out.

Several books could be written on the subject. My personal recommendation is Francis Spufford's "Backroom Boys" https://www.theguardian.com/books/2004/aug/14/featuresreview...

A lot of this needs to be seen in the context of post-imperial decline, and (in the 70s at least) serious financial difficulties. We could probably have made some of TSR2, Black Arrow, Magnox, APT, Concorde, Trident/Polaris, etc big successes with adequate funding, but we could never have done all of them. It looks like Concorde was one of the ones that was chosen to be funded to completion, partly due to the personal intervention of Tony Benn.

(Possible counterexample: the three V-bombers)

A lot of things were funded to the first failure but not to the first success. A common problem - NASA would never have been able to do what SpaceX did because the funding would have been pulled on the first failed landing, despite this being an anticipated part of the development plan.

In the private sector, any history of this would have to cover the class system and industrial action. Also CP Snow's "Two Cultures".

I would probably also list the UK's small mindedness towards immigration; the US was a magnet for fleeing scientists and intellectual refugees after the war. Much of SV's success is due to immigration or internal migration: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/30/us-tech-companies-founded-by...

This doesn't replace the fact that I never wanted my headphone jack taken away in the first place. They broke a perfectly good thing in the name of $200 wireless earbuds.
Good thought experiment.

We need a transition and repair story, not a "stop civilisation" story.
I have non-anecdotal evidence that people definitely buy the Lightning to headphone adapter. We sell them in our stores and it's one of our biggest accessory sales.

You know why people buy them all the time, though? Because, frankly, it's a terrible design. It's tiny, easy to lose or forget, and they break easily. That's why it has such terrible reviews in the Apple store site--it's not a good product for what it is.

I deal with Apple products on the daily, and the removal of the headphone jack is still one of the things that irritates me most about Apple.

The others would be: the whole battery scandal where Apple slowed down older phones without explaining that the battery, a replaceable component, was the issue. And the 2016-2018 MacBook keyboards, which are an absolute travesty.

The headphone to Lightning adapter may be a "marvel of engineering", but it was a completely unnecessary one. It doesn't create more room inside the phone, and Samsung had water-resistant phones with headphone jacks. It's basically designed to force you on to more expensive wireless headphones.
>If the change doesn't actually result in a therapeutic benefit, then doctors shouldn't prescribe the new drug over the generic. For various reasons, doctors have little incentive to do that. The main thing is that neither the doctor nor the patient are paying for the drug. When you're not paying, you have no incentive to prescribe the "older model."

The golf trips, lunches from drug reps, free samples for poor/indigent patients, and speaking fees paid from drug companies to doctors sure doesn't hurt either.

This is way off topic but how far did you get with Haskell? I was a Python programmer, contributor, and speaker for ~10 years and felt I was way more productive in it than in Haskell -- but after spending the last few years with Haskell I now find the opposite to be true and hardly write Python anymore.

Haskell let's me encode more of the business logic at the type level. I've finally been able to experience what people mean when they say a type system as good as Haskell's allow you to make sure invalid states are not presentable.

I can do the same in Python, Javascript, etc but it's much more work by writing thousands of lines of test code and still not being certain where the edge cases are.

That's one area a rich type system helps with...

but I think more to the spirit of your comment: it's the behaviors that are most important. No language is sufficiently expressive enough to define what those behaviors should be, and more importantly, which behaviors are not allowed. I totally agree that whether Haskell or Python, when it comes to this problem, neither are effective! There are no compile-time or run-time errors and yet we observe incorrect behavior! That's something I've only seen formal methods able to tackle.

An excellent, detailed discussion of this is in "Overcharged: Why Americans Pay Too Much For Health Care". Drug prices are only one aspect of the problem. The root is that government involvement focuses on the demand side and proactively reduces the supply.

what seems to happen is the drug is trivially tweaked or a new delivery system is created, they get a new patent, then dump marketing & lobby dollars to secure the revenue stream.

The new patent on Ketamine for depression is an example.

Ketamine is already used to treat depression and it’s a cheap generic drug.

The nasal spray being touted is many times more expensive and is really just a marketing play.

The guest expectation is that hotels and rentals don't have any hidden cameras. Stating that there are no cameras, while it is truthful, it has the opposite effect of what you are trying to achieve. This is why you don't see low-fat/low-sugar ice cream proclaiming that it won't make you fat on the box.
I picked up one of the belkin adapters that lets me charge and use headphones - I mostly use it with an over the ear headset, for conference calls, as I often have to dial in for multi-hour conference calls, which kinda beat the endurance of most bluetooth options.
ddgr is a cmdline utility to search DuckDuckGo from the terminal. While googler is extremely popular among cmdline users, in many forums the need of a similar utility for privacy-aware DuckDuckGo came up. DuckDuckGo Bangs are super-cool too! So here's ddgr for you!

Unlike the web interface, you can specify the number of search results you would like to see per page; more convenient than skimming through 30-odd search results per page. The default interface is carefully designed to use minimum space without sacrificing readability.

A big advantage of ddgr over googler is DuckDuckGo works over the Tor network.

ddgr is available in the repos of many distros as well as on PyPI.
I actually used this recently in a small personal project, it's pretty good. It's not like Elastic or Solr, more like Lucene - which may very well be good enough for your use case. The index structures are stored in BoltDB (which stores in a flat file.)

There are some issues, though. For example I think it's currently not possible to use the built-in query language to search Boolean values. So you might run into some minor issues even in smaller projects.

Yeah heroin gets used too.

There seems to be a cognitive gap here: on one hand acknowledging these widespread comments from folks with no use for these services, and then insistence that everybody uses them. At the risk of repeating myself, its trivially easy to see the point of view that they're not useful to a large portion of humanity. The irony is thick.

What difference does it make to me? Nothing, except pointing out contradiction. A hobby of mine.

The term AI seriously muddies the waters of this conversation. None of these technologies have the slightest whiff of independent agency, autonomy, or the ability to learn/adapt without the considerable talent and prodigious effort of people or teams of people. No one thinks that Photoshop's more sophisticated tools are AI, but effectively these tools are Photoshop for video and audio. These are sophisticated tools to be sure, but ultimately the problem has nothing to do with AI: They're fundamentally problems with malicious human actors exploiting the broken epistemology of the internet, which has been happening for decades. AI is, however, a great way to get clicks/pageviews for non-insights.
I've been using Mac products since I was a child (thanks, dad) more or less happily and the removal of the headphone jack and the requirement that you have these adaptors has been the first thing to make me seriously consider going elsewhere. I probably won't, due to years of lock-in, but to rephrase it's the worst experience I've had with anything Apple in my lifetime. I've had three adaptors, two Apple ones that broke in separate ways (one would keep firing commands randomly from the control buttons on my headphones, the other lost the right channel entirely) and a crappy third party one that just fell apart. Even when the adaptor works, having a dongle sticking out of your pants pocket is a total pain that nobody really asked for. It solves no problem, it's in no way better than the previous alternative, and it really just reads like a massive "fuck you, pay me" from Apple to their customers.

I settled on non-Apple bluetooth headphones, which have their own set of problems but at least I can reliably listen to music during my commute (for the most part).

One point I would like everyone to keep top of mind in this conversation: a patent monopoly is not a market. Prices are dictated by the government, which will arrest anyone besides the patent holder who tries to sell. In this case the price is set to "whatever the drug company wants to charge", but it could as well be set to $0 if the government so desired.

It's already been a few years and people are still annoyed by it. Airpods are great, but they're also expensive. Saying wireless is better isn't a fair comparison either, because wireless is an option even with a headphone jack, and most people still use wired headphones anyway with a much less convenient connector.
But if there are rolling blackouts during the summer, and giant batteries can mitigate blackouts, I don't see how her wanting to kill it is going to stop it. It is simply inevitable.

A16Z Podcast: Fintech for Startups and Incumbents
Our company had early access to this product and I was impressed by it. Our company had built our own FHIR datastore and I can attest to the fact that it's a more complex endeavor than it seems externally.

The killer feature of the product is its simple connectivity to other Google Cloud products for ML/Analytics purposes. Being able to receive a large quantity of radiology images (DICOM) or clinical data (using tools like Epic Kit/Caboodle) and immediately _do something with it_ is pretty impressive and hopefully lowers the burden for innovators in the space.

Of course, there are other options if you are looking for them, namely:

1) Azure API for FHIR: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/azure-api-for-fhi... -> Focused a bit more on application-workflows currently than ML/Analytics. Also has an open-source version: https://github.com/Microsoft/fhir-server

2) HAPI FHIR: http://hapifhir.io/doc_intro.html Open-source library from the makers of the most popular HL7v2 parser library. We run a bit of this today and it works smoothly. There's unofficial commercial support (same creators, different effort) from https://smilecdr.com/.

3) Vonk: Made by a company that has focused alot on FHIR based tooling. https://fire.ly/vonk/

This episode discusses the incentive structure of insurance companies, drug companies, and other middlemen driving up the price of drugs.

The patent system with respect to drugs is a mess. The proliferation of secondary patents on established drugs has to be done away with. Drugs are expensive not because they’re any better, but because of monopolies gained through abuse of patents.

The 80/20 rule on insurance company profits also has a perverse effect. The only way for insurance companies to earn bigger profits is by increasing costs. If they try to save money for their customers, they would be forced to earn less.

In my opinion, the system needs less tinkering by government and more control by individuals over their own care.

Former Keybase employee here: Keybase has pivoted quite a bit, but I'd suggest it still matches your description: a repository of public keys tied to/verified via social media accounts, with infrastructure to facilitate their use. The type of the keys has changed; NaCl Ed25519 keys are now heavily emphasized over PGP keys. And the infrastructure has grown to include both the proof framework beneath the keys, and user-facing applications built on top of the keys.

I think one of the big takeaways from the legacy of PGP, is that a public key system in isolation won't be a successful base for mainstream applications. Some thoughts on that from the Keybase perspective:

1. Public key models are difficult to understand. Asking users to learn what a key is, and then to manage the way their keys interact with multiple different services, is too much in practice. (Both in terms of adoption, and in terms of avoiding security mistakes.)

2. Public key models are difficult to design. The Keybase model is very different from the PGP model, for example in that it avoids relying on any single "master key". That's a better fit for users who tend to have many devices but who tend not to have a great personal backup strategy. This is the sort of thing that made sense by 2013, but didn't make sense in 1991.

3. After you design a key system you still need to iterate. Keybase added a concept of Per-User Keys (shared by all devices, transported using device keys) while chat was being designed, because it was a better fit for the security model that chat needed. If Keybase wasn't in control of the key model and the chat application at the same time, making that change would've been impractical. There have been many other changes like it -- exploding messages using ephemeral keys, for example -- and I'm sure there will be more to come.

It's really hard to imagine the scale at which we currently produce oil. In total we produce an average of 80.6 million barrels per day. This doesn't sound like a lot at first but consider that there are 159 liters of oil in a single barrel. When you work this out, it means that we are producing 1.7 liters of crude oil per person, for every man/woman/child on this Earth, per day - every day. Had to double check my math there, because that sounds so absurd. But it's correct! So to visualize that quantity imagine every single man, woman, and child on this entire Earth took a 1.7L beaker (about 5 cans of coke) full of oil, and emptied it out onto the ground. That's how much oil we produce, each and every day. Just stupefying!

The problem this reveals is that oil will only be valuable in the longrun if some technology is developed that requires just stupefyingly large quantities of oil. Otherwise, the supply is just far too high. And a catch is that even if this new technology is developed, it's difficult to imagine any usage where 12 billion liters of crude oil per day would not have a massive environmental impact, one way or the other. I would not go long on oil, unless you think it will continue to be used as a primary source of energy generation decades from now.
