Sure, but the floor is not the efficient price level. The efficient price level balances the cost to the public with creating sufficient incentives for drug companies to invest in new drugs, thus maximizing long-term welfare. Driving prices to the floor doesn't do that.

Yes, drug companies don't want drugs to become a commodity. Nobody wants their products to become commodities. And we have to acknowledge that, at least maybe, the public shouldn't want drugs to become commodities (at least, not during the period of patent protection). Companies in commodity markets don't innovate. Look at where innovation is happening in the PC market. It's happening in companies that can make a big profit (Google, Apple), not companies that deal in commodities (Acer, HP).

But put that aside. Maybe the best thing is for drug companies to be like Acer rather than Apple. At the very least, honest reporting should acknowledge that we're talking about trade-offs. In the last few decades, new drugs and medical devices have revolutionized treatment for things like HIV, breast cancer, leukemia, Hepatitis C, prostate cancer, etc. The 5-year survival rate for prostate cancer has gone up from 68% in the 1970s, to 99% today. HIV went from being a death sentence to a chronic condition. Many leukemias went from being death sentences to being extremely treatable. That progress wouldn't be possible without the tens of billions of dollars a year that drug companies invest in R&D. We can choose to slow down that pace, in exchange for making the existing treatments more widely accessible. That's a totally acceptable choice. But it's deception to make it seem like it's not a choice.
This post makes me think of the Railway in US. So late compared to Europe haha.
A Task for Training a Human-Imitating System as a Benchmark on the Road to AGI
I don't support the way women are treated in SA, but I don't really see why Apple should get to be the global moral police. Those applications are presumably perfectly legal where they are used.
It's needed just to build the front end on dev machine. The front end HTML JS and resource files are embedded into the binary executable during compilation.. so i literally just copy over a binary
Because, as simple as that advice might be, it's not all there is to it—and we don't live in a vacuum.

All things in moderation—including moderation.

My takeaway from many mental health discussions has been to:

* Look after your body/love yourself by being good to your body (this includes your takeaways)

* Try to see things from others' perspectives

* Relax and just have a damned beer if you want a damned beer. It's not all that heavy—it's life and life only.

(just an aside/tangent: I'm not for fasting in the way you've prescribed. From what I understand about it is that it won't hurt you, but it doesn't gain you anything either unless you're having difficulty managing your caloric budget)
This is...a very weird situation.

> “Over the last year, we became aware that several of these parental control apps were using a highly invasive technology called Mobile Device Management, or MDM.

> “MDM gives a third-party control and access over a device and its most sensitive information, including user location, app use, email accounts, camera permissions, and browsing history.”

They make this sound like MDM is some scary third-party attack on their platform, neglecting to point out MDM is a system they designed. There's always been some schizophrenia from Apple around MDM (publicize new control features to admins in one release, add a big scary vague user-facing warning when that feature is actually used in the next release), but their general stance has consistently been that you, as a company, have a right to enforce whatever restrictions are available on devices used by your employees so long as you own them, and so long as you accept whatever user-disclosure features they decide to implement. Likewise, you have a right to enforce a more limited suite of controls on your employee's personal devices, so long as it's all opt-in.

I would presume any parent intending to enforce restrictions on a child's device also purchased that device. So Apple's stance here is really that parents should have less control over their children's devices than employers have over those of their employees? Or are they really talking about some exploit of the MDM framework? Because the way it's phrased here clearly seems to be framing MDM in general as a nefarious tool.
I have been experiencing this set of problems in one form or another for the entirety of my adult life. I can think of ideas all day and have no problem getting them started but inevitably always reach the same conclusion, an abandonment of both the spirit and implementation. Something I heard recently from Jordan Peterson on this subject has really got me thinking more discriminatorily about my efforts. "If you want something, what does it mean to want it? And what it means is to sacrifice whatever is necessary to get it, because otherwise you don't want it. You don't want it unless you are willing to sacrifice for it. And if you don't want it, you're not going to get it, because you are scattered." It's a simple truism that is easy to forget, but Peterson is reminding us that anything worth pursuing will require a necessary sacrifice of time and energy. Getting to the heart of what is worth that sacrifice could be key to finding success in your endeavors. Godspeed.
Why not let the users decide, do Apple consider the users incompetent ?

Edit: Is Apple offering similar applications? if yes are they using private APIs to implement the features?
I found myself in the cycle that you described up there for about 2 years almost a year ago especially with side projects. A couple of things I took away from that period:

1/ Being truthful w/ yourself on whether you are building something for yourself or building it because you are insecure and feel like you're falling behind people in the community (ie I'm building this because 3 of my friends are startup founders and I want to be one too because I'm just as good as them). If it's the latter, usually your willpower will fleet. I fell for this trap in my last project.

2/ Being truthful on what skills you have and can utilize for whatever you want to build. For my last project, I was working on a website and had no prior web skills besides HTML and basic JS. I took it on myself to learn React, Redux and the whole shebang. By the time my willpower fleeted, I had learned a lot but was maybe 50% through a project and I lost interest.

3/ Dividing your project up into small chunks. Take a subset of those chunks, throw it into your product and alpha/beta test it with friends and family. If you have nothing to show for your work after n months of work, it's very easy to give up.

4/ Constantly show people and get feedback. If you show people what you're working on and they give you insight, it'll energize you to build and continue down the journey. Otherwise, you'll feel like all your effort is wasted away towards a dream that seems more and more unreachable as time progresses

In closing, I do think some people are more disciplined and motivated than others but everyone falls into the same traps. But I'm sure the folks you site as more disciplined and self-motivated have fallen to these problems; just earlier in their lives.

TLDR: Understand your motivations, make sure what you're building makes you happy and tell folks about what you're building to get energized.
You don't. In the long run, you build a habit. Discipline is a short term solution to stick with something long enough to become a habit.

How do you "stay disciplined" to brush your teeth every day? Chances are you just do it without thinking much about it. You don't hem and haw and read a bunch of motivational memes to gather up the willpower to brush your teeth. It's just something you automatically do.

I highly recommend the book Atomic Habits for advice about how to build up habits. The main key is to start small. If you want to get in shape, you're not going to start out working out for 90 minutes every day. You start with 5 minutes or something so easy that you can't not do it. Then you keep doing it until it becomes automatic and build from there.
Slightly off topic:

Has anyone made an exhaustive table that contains prescription drugs on one side, and their supplement equivalent(s) on the other side, where applicable?

For example, I am using Berberine (supplement) [1] instead of Metformin (prescription). In this case, the supplement may be superior to the prescription. I would love to find the equivalent to my blood pressure drug losartan potassium (an orally active, nonpeptide angiotensin II (AII) receptor antagonist.)

I've noticed this issue a lot more recently. Developers who live in a language / platform bubble that assume that the large majority of paid developers are using whatever trendy language and less than 24 month old framework they're on etc.

Listen kids. A colossal amount of the software engineering that takes place on this earth is paid development for closed source apps and services. It's not on GitHub. It's not written in JavaScript. It's not done on Node.js. A great deal of it doesn't happen in California. And it dwarfs the amount of software on GitHub or GitLab.

It happens in Java and C++ and C# and Visual Basic and other not-sexy languages and involves writing crappy enterprise interfaces and tons of backend code.

The great thing about TIOBE is its a good indicator of what jobs are being hired for. That's why it doesn't match whatever trendy expectations most people expect to see in a languages ranking. That's why Visual Basic is always ranked so highly. Because the actual world of paid software engineering and your mental view of that world are wildly different.

Personally I think TIOBE is very valuable for what it's for. I tell young developers to use its top 10 list as a guide for where to invest your time IF you're taking a "safe" approach to career skills and employability. If you use one of the other guides for that, you may decide that learning new and exciting languages might be optimal for employment. Generally speaking that's not the case.

If one wants filter bubble expectations met, I recommend sticking to language rankings that are solely based on GitHub and other publicly available source code.
Distributed networks from the early days to the Zettabyte era
I use it all the time. I have a Lenovo Yoga book and it (Termux) gives me the ability to use the device much like a linux terminal.
Of course. But people's respect for customs and laws isn't infinite. They'll put some effort in, but they're less likely to if it's less convenient and doesn't really seem like a matter of great moral weight.

I don't steal playstations out of shops, regardless of how fun it could be, because it's illegal and I'm likely to be punished for it, and because I have some moral qualms about it.

Piracy? You're not going to be punished for it, and it's qualitatively different from taking a thing away from someone. With no enforcement, all that stops people from pirating all the time is the comparative inconvenience and moral qualms.

When the entity involved is some big, faceless company, and it's a lot more convenient to pirate than buy (even disregarding the money you'd have to spend to buy!)- you could imagine not having any more moral qualms about piracy.
How to Build a Web App with React Native
The issue is who controls the MDM profile. In the case of these apps it's the app developers instead of the parents.

So by using it, you're giving some complete strangers access to snoop on everything in your child's phone. Even if you trust the developer not to abuse that, you're trusting them to keep their own systems secure and to not hire an employee who might abuse it. We know how that worked out for the NSA where they had people using their surveillance programs to snoop on exes.

If you want to use MDM to manage your child's phone, the way to do that is with a service where you manage the MDM yourself like a company would do with their fleet of phones, not to hand the keys off to an untrusted third party.
So the cost is giving up one's existing friends. Has this factored in the increased cost of making new friends as one gets older?
Why can't we have both? I loved the idea behind Sling TV, which let you buy buckets of channels. I wanted that, but more granular. Ideally, I'll have a single platform that I like, and I can subscribe to producers, individual series, or something in between (curated buckets of series?).

For example, I like Netflix because the interface is pretty good and I've never had a problem with buffering or lost connection. I want to be able to pay a little extra to get access to, say, Disney or HBO content, and perhaps buy access to some other series. I hate jumping between streaming platforms, so I've gotten to the point where I just don't watch things if they're not available.

I pay for two platforms, and that's about all I'm willing to do. I just can't watch some things I know I'll like because I don't want to have to remember which platform has which series. However, buying individual series/movies also too expensive IMO. My budget for video entertainment is $20-30/month, and I watch maybe 1-2 hours/day (mostly my kids, but we have movie night twice a week); that's about the cost of two unlimited services, 4-6 movie rentals, or 1 season of a series. I could consider spending up to $50 or so if it was good value (e.g. don't have to jump between services), but that's not a thing, so we get 2 subscriptions for the family and spend the rest of my time and money on immersive video games, which ends up being far cheaper per hour of entertainment.

The movie/TV industry is just ridiculous, and I'm getting tired of it. I'm not surprised that piracy is getting more common. I can afford to spend more, but I choose not to, and I completely understand the mindset of pirates; if I wanted access to more content, it would be less work to pirate than work more to be able to afford more content.
Whatever Europe's crazy data privacy laws, it's ridiculous they'd apply to the case of a parent keeping track of their kids. The kid's right to wander into crazy elsagate videos and have covert online conversations with predators unsupervised is more important than the parent's right to protect their kid, and Apple is justified in ripping the monitoring capability out of parents' hands? Is that what you're saying?

Hopefully the parents either switch to Android if such a thing is still possible on Android or just get them flip phones with no data plan intended only for emergency calls. Where they can get a list of sent/received calls at the end of the month from the cellphone company at least, I assume.
If Apple really cared about developers, they should create a new set of features that allows developers to recreate the same functionality in their apps without having to use MDM tech, instead of banning them without listening to them...
I can’t imagine growing up in a time like today where some parents think it’s their right to know every single thing you do on your devices. It probably would have stunted my growth as a person in many ways.
I'd be down for this, if they were only available in my country.
And then you start thinking, "what even is this desire I feel for these future possibilities? Where does that come from and why is it so?" Will people in the future even share our current preferences? What happens to us when science advances to the point that we can hack our own reward functions (preferences)?
Ontario/Toronto already has a lot of folks who are under employed and under payed in Technology. Hence the drain brain to the Valley and USA. I know so many Canadians who are in the US working for companies like AMZN, Facebook, Google, CSCO, etc that couldn't find meaningful work/salaries in Toronto. If these folks are bright enough to work for the top of the tech pyramid in the US, why couldn't they find a job in Toronto?

This is companies looking for cheap labour, plain and simple.

They provide less than 1% of the worlds energy needs and even if you project up to 2040 they are still only going to be providing around 3% of the worlds energy needs. How is that winning?

So perhaps you are the one who's been too tied to one specific narrative that's not holding up to reality.
If his offer to remove it if the scammer apologizes seems reasonable to me.
Back when I was in high school, nearly a decade ago, a classmate died and her friends were careful to not report it to Facebook because they wanted her account to stay active. At that time it seemed like Facebook had a policy of sunsetting accounts after a mourning period where the family could get the data off it. Is that not a policy anymore?

> The reality is that these chips will run at 95 degrees for decades.

That tends to be less and less true as semiconductor feature sizes decrease - there are thermal runaway phenomena that can absolutely threaten long-term endurance in CPUs, GPUs or other electronic components. At temperatures as high as 95C, you'll also have to worry about endurance in the packaging, due to e.g. thermal stress. This is a genuine issue and the gamers are quite right in being concerned about it - in fact, their rather extensive experience with running stuff in out-of-spec, "overclocked" conditions means that they can speak with some authoritativeness here.
Depending on where your friend lives, you can address it to a post office. However, your letter would still need your friends full name on it to get it picked up.
This reminds me of an old blog of mine.

"The culture of Googling everything is diminishing innovation and critical thinking."

Person A: "I have this great Idea!"
Person B: "What is it?"
Person A: "Well its ______ for ______!. Isn't that awesome"
Person B: (Quickly googles on his phone) "There are already X companies doing exactly that"
Person A: "Ohhh..."(Drops his head in shame and moves on"

The most innovative ideas were mostly created by multiple people independently and not knowingly.

Do the lowered barriers to knowledge reduce our ability for critical thinking? How can we maximize the inherent benefits of the web; while minimizing these negative 2nd order effects?

When Apache published OpenOffice 4.0, there were about a million download per week, for a total of 85M downloads in 2.5 years[1].

Fortunately, that is no more the case. OpenOffice is in maintenance mode (last minor features were 5 years ago). So, even if the project seems alive at first glance, its user base is thinning out.

They're both recreational activities. Doing them well is difficult enough that your ability can be (and is) assessed competitively. Seems much the same to me (at least, if the competition results are consistent between judges).

Yeah - pay the content creators.
If you honestly believe that users make informed decisions when they click through a EULA, I’ve got a bridge to sell you. Maybe if these companies presented the privacy trade offs in a user-understandable way - but that would interfere with their popularity/monetization.
I don't know about you, but I haven't "vetted" any of the software on my machine, in the sense of proving to myself in any strong sense that it's not malicious. I just rely on a loose web of trust and a hefty dose of contextual clues. Piping curl to bash feels dangerous, but it at least equivalent (and probably actually strictly safer) than running ./configure; make on some weird tarball.
Well one possibility is that they will be dealing with even wierder shit than Tide Pods (imagine the horrific possibilities of advanced virtual reality sims). Our current "errors" may seem mild by comparison.
I'd worry about mirroring the images because of cases like this, you'd want some sort of triage process before it gets into your environment.
> I find the decision of the scorned developers to file with the European Union’s competition office amusing... Apple is under no obligation to offer unfettered API access to these companies just because they were filling a market need that Apple didn't want to pursue.

While a bit cheesy, I've always found this diagram to be pretty much correct: https://i.imgur.com/SvsJnyf.jpg

From my experience, finding something that you love doing and can get lost in for hours on end will be the most rewarding activity. Rewarding activities tend to stick longer -- I was good at fiddling with web pages and now it's what I do professionally.

The tough stuff is finding out what you're good at -- that requires a bunch of trial and error and (especially in IT) people tend to think themselves better than they truly are. This is why you should always seek out advice from more experienced people and stay humble. As in chess, the only way to get better is to play against a stronger opponent.

Best advice I was given for persevering at times of boredom/burn out/etc was to simply keep going at it. How much you get done is not as important as is just doing it. Not every workout or coding session has to be at John Carmack's level but it should never be skipped.

Lastly, what other fine folk here already said: don't go it alone! Every person needs a support system! Whether it's family, friends, colleagues, local bartender, or IRC pals is not important - just have somebody to talk to and perhaps get excited about the stuff you do.
