Yes. The number of content-creating humans on this planet with access to the internet is still growing exponentially. Eventually it will level off, but for now, the Internet is growing faster than Google can index.

You can't compare that as it's a paid enterprise on-prem version not something you can self-host and keep running as long as you want. You won't get community fixes for it like it would be the case if Google were to abandon Gitlab if an acquisition would be the case.
This is not random. We live in the enlightened times with technology that allows us to build eternal machines, called programs. The ease and elegance we enjoy to build eternal things is something many old creators would envy us for. Many churn through closed, power-taking and -preserving junk software and The Web©®™, but the possibilities to do greater are here more than ever.

Staying for more than six months is usually one of the main measures to determine if one is resident and should pay taxes in the country, so there is at least a very good reason (although I don't know how much this applies to the USA specifically).

Stop peddling meaningless hype. Current 3D rendering technology is lightyears ahead[1] of these AI toys and you can trivially parametrize it. Many games already do. So if you want to generate people, you already can do that while having full control, instead of some glitchy sliders.

Something genuinely useful might, perhaps, be achieved by applying GANs to parameters of those 3D models to allow easier customization, but I haven't seen any work in that direction.

Hi jppope,

Tried to implement some of the advice in the time I had left. Does feel better already.

Also, we are live on PH! I would really like to see you there. Trying to gather as much support as I can to stay on the first page, so any feedback, comments, or support is much appreciated. https://www.producthunt.com/posts/courseroot-share

Thanks again for the elaborate feedback, and hope to see you there!

Take care,

you would have passport control if you exited the country through some other non conventional ways.

The airlines are giving out all the information, that's why there is no need to do an exit passport control.

Might be a good idea to have a throwaway SIM and a phone for travelling, not logged in into any cloud or social network services, and not tied to your main google account. Maybe just a couple of chat apps to stay in touch with your friends/relatives. Switch SIM back to your main number and reset phone once you're beyond the border... It seems exactly what EFF recommends by the way. With a laptop it's more complicated.

Both are as branded or anonymous as you want it to be and I've seen both used for either. I really think the key component for both is how easy it is to share and discuss content that the sharer didn't create with people they don't know with as much or little privacy as they want.

That makes it different from Instagram which is focused on original content with little discussion. Reddit which is focused on new content with much heavier focus on discussion. Facebook which is supposed to be for personal content with familiar people.
Imagine that you have a 99.99 chance of death. There is treatment that appears to work in 50% of people, but it's early days, it's only been tried on 10 people. What do you do? Do you want a bear certain probability of death or a 50% chance of a cure? I think it is entirely proper to allow people with the money to pay for it, to take that gamble. It's their life, not ours. It's their money, not ours. Sure, we need to be sure that the correct data is presented to the client, they mustn't be mis-sold. But otherwise I have no issue with people being free to take a gamble. I would absolutely furious if this chance for life was withheld from me. And so would you be.
Also depends a bit on the thing you work on. But we have used local arts funding for this. It helped us be a little bit more formal, while having a small amount of money for the people helping out. It does comes with its paperwork/obligations though

It is astounding that Hepatitis C is the only viral disease that can be cured with medication!

We have antibiotics primarily from fungi derived substances, but there are no other class of substances we’ve been able to appropriate for our own use to treat viruses.

I find it amazing that viruses, which are supposedly “simpler” aren’t more vulnerable.

But thinking about it, prions are even simpler and have no know treatments.

This demonstrates, then, that complex systems can be quite fragile.
But if the cause is genetic and is due to a particular combination of otherwise harmless or even beneficial genes, as it has been speculated here in the comments, then autism itself won't disappear. What would disappear is the need to care for such a child or to watch it deteriorate and die early as with Tay-Sachs. I.e. basically a Spartan way to deal with this. Is this what you meant?

Yes, Mastercard and nearly the entire financial industry is effectively a government program. If your industry is based on a legislative cartel (monopoly federal reserve feed monopoly big-banks feed monopoly payment networks), you're already unaccountable to market forces. If that same industry can count on the taxpayer to bail them out when their incompetence uproots the entire financial system, they are morally equivalent to a government institution. Mastercard and all other monopolistic financial institutions should be forced to uphold the Bill of Rights so long as they benefit from this level of government privilege.

Not only still in production, but still in production with no failures reported. This is beyond amazing. Triple redundancy and hardware majorization will surely help you greatly, but no failures across those numbers is just mind-boggling.

> With the absence of telemetry, how do you know Linux is doing just fine?

I look at Linux-focused communities on Reddit, Hacker News, etc (there’s always a good rant about Linux’s shortcomings).

But that would, you know, mean you actually need to pay competent people that can understand the discourse and engage with the community, something you guys clearly don’t give a shit about (have you ever seen the Microsoft Support forums? It’s a disaster).
I think that was GP’s point - pricing by the connector means that younger companies with a lot of SaaS services but not a lot of data in each may struggle to find a workable price. (I’m not commenting on whether that’s true, but I think that’s what they meant.)

Usually the grad student does most of the work, but the ideas and direction comes from the supervisor. It's normal that the supervisor funds, directs and communicates the work that's being done.
More often than not, the supervisor has a better idea of the big picture and the implications of the work than the grad student, so it's natural that the supervisor talks to the press.

For example, I'm a grad student, in a department where my supervisor would talk to the press on work that I would have done.
It's been 5 years but I rememeber being in a 2 hour talk (I used to work in vaccines) about the difficulty of coming up with a vaccine for HIV, never mind a cure. It sounded then like it was a long long way off, and we're still only just getting much more simplistic diseases vaccine preventable (malaria is what I'm thinking of, the new vaccine is only marginally effective, which may be enough to cut the cycle of transmission... or may not).

"A good agorist is a jailed agorist" -- my friend

It is already legal to produce your own insulin at home and take it yourself. AFAIK its even legal to give it away for free. The problem is

1. It's expensive. The final production setup is estimated at $10k
2. The R&D non-trivial. We're still building the platform.
3. Production still must be highly self-regulated to ensure that the insulin is safe.

People need a way to fund this sort of work, but the second we try to sell anything we need to go through a multi-year, multi-million dollar FDA approval process or we'll be shut down. We're currently exploring other funding models, certainly open to ideas.
That is untrue. When IE6 first arrived it was on par with Mac IE 5.2 in terms of web standards support. It was a great browser for its time.

The problem with IE6 is Microsoft declaring victory in the Browser war with Netscape, and IE6 development stopped. For years until Firefox and Chrome threatened Microsoft's browser dominance.

Charge is not amount of electric potential.

Charge is a property of matter which causes experiencing a force when placed in an electric field.

Strength of the electric field is electric potential.

And charges arrange in some form under this field which wouldn't be so in absense of this field and how tight is that form depends on the strength of electric field. And this can be used to perform some work but this is not storing charge as the total charge before arrangement is same as total charge after arrangement there is no new charge added. We are storing electric field here.

In all such storage devices, strength of the field goes down after sometimes.

No I don't know how it can help in case of batteries but assuming you use capacitor to store electric field the leakage can be decreased by using better insulation which in many cases is thicker and the capacitor is limited to some specific size, if you can decrease the surface area of the conductive plates, you are able to use thicker insulation which results in lower leakage so graphene can help here as it's just one atom thick.
> I'm not convinced that an idea (or a seed thereof) that is not formed well enough to be written down is ready for discussion with another person. ... Write down whatever you can about your problem ... then send it to me, saying "what do you think?". I will read it at the time when I am most able to give it my full attention ...

Unfortunately, that delay imposes pretty serious transaction costs on innovation. Because most ideas are not worthwhile, it's often more productive to discard them quickly and move on to the next idea than to dwell on them for longer periods of time.

Put analytically, assume there are 2 developers at a company each with plenty of ideas, but 9 out of 10 of them are garbage. Further assume that determining a bad idea is actually a bad idea with another person takes 0.5 hours, but doing it on your own takes 1.5 hours. The two devs will generate far more good ideas (those 1 out of 10), if they talk to each other than if they dwell on them without speaking to each other.
Also the headline is massively misleading - almost immediately they point out that many people don't know their status.
