They could be if they wanted to. My address is printed on the cover of some of my magazines - so the capability of person-specific printing exists it's just a matter of extending this to the ads too.

Realistically, I wouldn't expect targeting more granular than a zip code. But that's still pretty decent as far as advertisement targeting goes. Definitely better than broadcast radio, as one example.

I am truly sorry to hear about your mom's dementia progression. I can only imagine. Wishing you and your family strength.

A few of my customers have mentioned it's helping them. I observed first-hand that going through fresh photos seemed to help my grandma too. She had dementia, although hers didn't progress as far as your moms. Maybe the photos didn't help but instead it was the frequent interactions with her loved ones that did. Also, maybe products like NanaGram help in the early stages of the disease but not later on.

I'm not a psychologist and dementia is an extraordinarily complex disease. I'm most definitely not trying to mislead. I drafted a few different variations on the title and ended up going with this one to get the point across.

It's all definitional. If you define socialism as "the government does a thing" then practically everyone is a socialist. If you define socialism as "the government influences industry for the benefit of the people" then quite a few people are socialist. If you define socialism as "an intermediate stage between capitalism and communism wherein there is a dictatorship of the proletariat" then very few people are socialist.
Good thing, since America has had a variety of socialist policies in place since before anyone currently alive was born and continues to.

The KKK and the nazis managed to form and grow without the help of the internet. Also, finding other people who enjoy talking about cars or writing fan fic doesn't have this sort of harmful in-group/out-group dynamic.

So I'm a bit skeptical of the narrative of the piece, especially because there's no actual evidence provided.

My skepticism extends to the broader narrative of this newsletter.

Illich's alternatives -- especially the conviviality stuff -- always struck me as dangerously Utopian: if only we were all the same, then everything would be great.

He's like that well-meaning stoner who asks "why can't we all just get along" and sort of shakes his head and tells you that you don't get it if you ask how, concretely, we're supposed to "just get along" in Gaza or Darfur or Kashmir or any other place where there's a lot of zero-sum resource/power allocation underlying centuries of conflict. The dismissal of real and concrete harms on both sides of conflict is at least unhelpful and possibly harmful.

Conviviality is a nice sentiment, and the world would perhaps be a better place if everyone shared that sentiment. But sentiment is a starting point, not an actual solution. The world's problems are usually too complex to be solved with pure sentiment, and things will go wrong in unexpected ways if you try.

One concrete example: the modern commercial internet's ad-driven information economy elucidates a major flaw with Illich's "Learning Webs" from Deschooling Society: the company that owns the platform just happens to be an ad company. It's a flaw that even the strongest critics of Illich could never have anticipated in the 1970s.

The point is more general: convivial societies only work if everyone is convivial, and there will always be insanely inventive non-convivial people. Even people who are more-or-less decent folks and even people who adopt slogans like "don't be evil" will end up throwing wrenches in your plan.

> As far Chicago, that city is a mess, too. I was there just last year. It sucks there for all kinds of reasons.

How long did you spend here to reach your conclusion that Chicago sucks for all kinds of reasons? I've been here for 6 years, and I like it better here than anywhere else I've lived (Detroit, Indianapolis, West Lafayette, and New York City).

>You know what Chicago and Mexico have in common? Failed liberal policies.

Chicago has a bustling tech scene. My rent for a big, nice apartment is only 23% of my take home pay each month. It's a fine place to live. I assume you're saying that it's a dangerous hellscape because we have a lot of homicides annually, but per capita, about 10 US cities are more violent. And the violence is really still a residual effect from the redlining practice codified in the National Housing Act of 1934, which forced black people to live in bad neighborhoods regardless of their income. Redlining was legal up until 1977, which was only about 1 generation ago, which is not long enough for a significant population to save enough to move to better neighborhoods and give their children educations that enable social mobility. And redlining was a racist policy, which is hardly "liberal" (although both major parties supported racism, until the Democrats reversed course).

So I guess I don't see the basis you use to arrive at your conclusion.
It's also likely a pressure tactic of sorts. Samsung shows that it could leave the reservation if it wants to, so Google doesn't push too hard when it comes to standardization, modifications to the base system, and preloaded apps. (For quality and monetization reasons, Google would likely prefer that all versions of Android were shipped as close to stock as possible.)
This is a really mature introspective thought to articulate...

> Academics have uniformly rather low salaries, increasing our tendency to focus on social status as a measure of success. Salary gradations are useful for disrupting mimetic effects because they tie effort expended directly to units of universal economic value — convertible to kilos of rice, oil, and stuff in the physical world. A price is a lifeline to reality: all else being equal, the job with the lower wage is probably less valuable. Without this signal, the goals of a peer group are easily decoupled from the outside world, making it easy to drift into time-wasting pursuits.

What a concept, endeavors detached from price signals and the specific distortions he faced in his academic “market” if you will.
If Apple prioritized it by putting resources into it, they could have good documentation. Same route and same barrier for anyone. But it's not like Apple can't afford it.

Seed with: "Why does my dog speak poor English?"

> It's possible your dog has a rare genetic condition called dyslexia, which puts him or her at risk for learning difficulties. If the problem has progressed beyond a certain point—say, if your dog has been in the hospital for over a year—and when you go to bring him out of the hospital—not for exercise or exercise training—he may not speak English in the proper way. Your veterinarian will work on the problem while you are in the hospital.

What should I do with a dog with dyslexia?

It's important to be vigilant and familiar with what is going on with your dog in hospital. If you find that your dog may be learning, take him home and have him trained as soon as possible. It may take a while for your dog to learn to associate the letters of English with words.
I always found this approach strange. It's like closing your eyes and pretending you don't see parts of the patient's body.
You know, as someone else living in Mexico, these topics always bait me. The kind of people these topics attract that weirdly brag about how radicalized they are by news always blow my mind.

But in the end it's not so bad. It keeps Mexico interesting and unadulterated by tourists.

Some of these commenters you'd think walk around with a helmet on because they might trip and they won't risk that possibility. I'd love to see someone like that look where I've lived for five years in a beach city and tell me how bad I must have it and how much I must fear for my life in this war zone.

Some people need the air conditioned sense of suburban safety that bores me to fucking tears. Other people like a little bit of ruggedness and adventure and maybe even adversity in life. Or something in between. To each their own.

Been on a Pixel 2 XL, ordered pre-release (my 6p died around that time) and I viscerally hate that it doesn't just have a headphone jack. Keep thinking of moving to a 3a XL, just can't bring myself to, not worth it... hoping the next release keeps up the trend though.

Also glad to see a return to mid-range class phones. It's what the Google line (Nexus) had always been. One Plus has been pretty close too. I just don't think it's worth more than $500-600 for a phone. I honestly don't like paying more than $300, but there's nothing close to that of decent quality it seems.

Holding onto my current phone for at least another year. At least the battery tech seems to have finally matured.
No, it’s due to the existence of high demand.

Great point from a brilliant mind. You should decide for everybody what ideas they can and can't see on the internet, and what applications they can and can't download onto their hardware. Thanks for watching out for all of us.
Ah, yes. Apple seems to almost spitefully change document URLs on a regular basis too. (Which would be a little less terrible if you could simply re-Google the replacement link but you can’t.)

My favorite experience was looking for virtual key codes. A few years ago, there was a point where the only place you could find the values of (arbitrary) virtual key codes for input events was in a printed copy of Inside Macintosh for System 7. Was this some ancient Mac? No, it was needed on OS X, by their “preferred” Cocoa/NSEvent no less, and their modern hardware was sending the same codes. They eventually “fixed” this by putting the information inside Carbon.framework header files (which will most likely just disappear in the next OS update).
They should also clean it up in my hometown's backyard:

I am skeptical that CAR-T therapy will go anywhere with solid tumors. Blood cancers and solid tumors are extremely different - they are basically different diseases. First, blood cancers have very few mutations (< 10); solid tumors may have tens of thousands. This means that blood cancers are a lot less heterogeneous than solid tumors. CAR-T cells are basically like a very specific kind of gun - you can say, "kill anything with protein X". But we've tried targeted therapies in solid tumors; they don't work, because the tumors usually have enough genetic heterogeneity that they can just evolve around the therapy. This is likely to be the case with CAR-T therapy as well.

Solid tumors also have the advantage of not being in the blood (obviously) - this makes them much harder to target with anything, especially circulating cells, which would have to extravasate and infiltrate the tumor itself. Blood is very accessible - you can just inject stuff into it. Heck, we have machines that can take blood out of the body, spin out whatever fractions we want, and put it back in all in one go.

Finally, blood cancers also have no microenvironment; they are circulating in the blood. A solid tumor can recruit and reprogram all sorts of quisling cells to cloak itself. These cells do all kinds of immunosuppressive things that we don't understand.

The main problem with the solid tumor is its complexity and its adaptive potential. CAR-T cells are a magic bullet - but the magic bullet can only kill one thing, not the many-headed thing that is a tumor. To beat the solid tumor I believe we need to fight it with something that has the adaptive potential of the tumor itself - i.e., the adaptive immune system.

For this reason I think we're more likely to see success by recruiting the native immune system. So far we've done this via checkpoint blockade. This also has its limits - unhooking immune checkpoints is like unchaining a mad rottweiler. It might kill the tumor, but it might just as well kill you.

Where I'd like immuno-oncology to go is understanding the mechanisms of immune evasion (i.e., what the tumor is doing to suppress the immune system, which should be mopping up cancerous cells, but isn't) and suppressing those. That way we can recruit the immune system to do its job without also causing it to damage the rest of the body.

But we don't even have an understanding of the immune makeup of the tumor yet, let alone how the tumor is recruiting and reprogramming immune cells to suppress the immune response. If we get there I think we'll see some real progress, but it will take a lot of work. It remains to be seen if we have the patience to do that work before we give up and move on to the next drug fad.
Experiencing first hand. I hope at this age, I should have saved enough. But, single income and mortgage means better be realistic. I do take risk though, working for startup on cutting edge tech, than for a large company. Basically insurance for future job security. The risk I cannot think of is starting my own business.

Related - it is impossible to take risks if you or family have crippling health issues.

And when you have both, why even bother to take major risks.

> It is likely that one of the reasons that the measured intel parts are so much faster is because of insecure optimizations.

I doubt it. The cost of workarounds is probably far worse than the time saved from using unsafe methods.
Of course you can decide the type a function returns, to overkill this problem, just run any type inference algorithm powered by unification (e.g. hindley milner). Give undeclared variables the type NULL and you're all set since you can decide whether the function returns type NULL.

Your friend was confused because you cannot decide whether a certain line in your program will be executed. Since this is equivalent to the halting problem. Let's prove this! Assume we have a blackbox B(P,x,N) decides whether line N of program P will be executed given input x. Here, we can solve the halting problem:

```pseudocode

def Helper(sourcecode P, input x):

[0] P(x)

[1] print "What Do We Say to the God of Death?"

def Halts(sourcecode P, input x):

if B(Helper,(P,x),1):

return true

else:

return false

```

This means, given programs like your interview question, compiler cannot decide -- in general -- whether the program will crash or work. Of course, it's not too hard to find "good enough" heuristics that'll catch some cases and/or restricting your language to make it "harder" to encode such programs.

The drug trade is due to consumer demand for drugs. The violence is due to government prohibition driving it underground. Underground markets tend to elevate the worst, most ruthless and violent actors. Legalizing and regulating recreational drugs will likely put violent drug cartels out of business or force them into legal, nonviolent traditional roles.

The 6P was a great phone (charging/battery issues aside). Glad to see Google returning to the mid-range.
Hopefully it works out to be its own reward.
Open distro is definitely creating some pressure on ES. However, there are some misconceptions on what that is.

1) Amazon did not actually fork elasticsearch or maintains any patches against it.

2) Elasticsearch does in fact provide completely OSS distributions and docker images for their products.

3) Amazon has created several OSS plugins for Elasticsearch that they bundle with their open distro that compete directly with what Elasticsearch does in their non OSS add-ons to their product.

So, obviously Elasticsearch is responding to Amazon by ensuring there's little functional gap with the stuff you get for free.

I'd argue most new users are still better off on elastic cloud vs amazon's hosted version of their distro and should not be attempting to run this themselves. I've used both and would pick elastic cloud every time for the simple reason of being more reliable and easy to deal with (e.g. backups, upgrades, cluster topology changes, etc.). Also, it seems they are quite competitive on price/performance.

For reference, we pay about 170 Euro a month for a simple setup that takes care of all our logging (couple of GB worth of logs / day). I'd hate running blind without that. IMHO at those prices, self hosting is not worth the effort (devops time required to do it would pay for several years of hosting).

Thank you for a product that focuses on a real need for the elderly. It might seem like an inconsequential thing to some, but I’m sure this kind of thing can considerably improve the quality of life for older people.

My mom has always embraced technology, but as she gets older, I can see her struggling with increasing anxiety using her computer and iPad, etc. I can imagine some day this being the perfect thing for her.

It’s so easy to forget our older loved ones, and it’s easy for the elderly to slip through the cracks of our society. I’d love to see more companies out there solving problems like this that improve the quality of life for the elderly.

Bravo for a product that brings joy and makes the world a little nicer place.
