Depends on the default Zsh configuration file they provide. When I used Zsh in the past with just the default config I found some Bash 'features' missing. Stuff like reverse-i-search (ctrl-r) and tab-completion. Most of them are simple config changes but they don't make a default Zsh a drop-in replacement for Bash from a user perspective. I think this is also the reason projects like Oh-my-zsh.

"Replace" is a loaded word, this is blogspam. In Catalina the default login shell for new users will be Zsh, but Bash will still be on the system (and likely still the default shell for upgraded users). So in practice, if your bangs are correct and you upgrade your systems, nothing will change.

And thus, the problem with for profit insurance. I know nothing of economics (so I'm not making claims how insurance should be), but it's a shame that we have to fear insurers knowing that we'll be sick and rejecting our quality of life.

As a "modern" civilization I just don't think you should be concerned with for-profit entities deciding you'll cost too much and denying your basic quality of life.

Both and more. (Linguistics, physics and genetics can chime in.) History is a big umbrella study domain, not one science. For example, it also embraces epistology, studies of warfare and studies of art. It builds hypotheses based on output of harder sciences and sparse evidence, which is also evaluated for veracity, as examples of low quality examples taken as evidence are becoming more visible all the time.

Or better: take classes where they e-mail you the slides afterward. Taking notes is archaic.

Just my personal experience, but taking notes was always horrible for me -- as my brain was busy trying to think "how do I write this down in a way that will make sense" as the article suggests, I was missing the next few sentences from the lecturer and getting progressively more lost.

And when the lecturer is making a point, it's not always clear until later whether it was an irrelevant tangent or a main element that will be on the test later.

Taking notes in class distracts from effort that could be better spent learning and comprehending.

On the other hand, taking slides from classes and transforming them into your personal notes and study guide at your own pace -- that's immensely valuable.

No, because the syntax of zsh is mostly similar to bash. Yes, because it's only mostly similar. For scripts that start with `#!/bin/bash`, no difference at all, because they will still run with bash.
As far as I'm aware, this applies to the person filing the documents. If a person does this on behalf of a company without referencing the company, he's personally liable. If the company is listed on the paperwork, they'd be flagged.

There's a big difference between sending something personally at the post office, and registering as an exporter/importer. If you're registered, you use your broker account number.

Can the company have thousands of employees attempt to send packages personally? Sure. But if discovered, the company would itself be shitlisted, with probably no way to undo it. The executives and any company that helped facilitate the fraud would be investigated.

I can't speak to whether the CBP maintains employment data or affiliations, but my guess would be yes. I'm sure they have back-office integrations with the NSA.

Misrepresenting information is lying under oath to a government agent. Even honest to God mistakes will get you fined, and flag you for closer inspection in the future.

As a non US citizen, the CBP is scary. I've been to exporter training sessions put on by them jointly with brokers and lawyers. I can't stress how seriously they take this, and how far their influence reaches. Even as a US citizen, I'd find them scary.

There are other ways to get your affairs in order. If I knew I was going to die at 65 I would have an extra 25k/year to spend on having fun now (401k+IRA savings). My family history suggests I will live until 75-85, so I'm saving that money to enjoy retirement, but if that won't happen.

Of course advances in medical science happen all the time. If I know that in 30 years I'll die of X, putting $50/month into research on a cure for X can make a real difference. (My contribution alone of course means nothing, but with all the other people who like me know X will get them doing their $5-$100/month - depending on what they can afford)

An auto-auto (I'm using that term unabashedly for "self-driving cars", you can too) has to be able to perceive and understand that the car in the next lane with the mattress poorly tied down might, at any moment, suddenly become two large moving objects. And so on.

If we set it up right the whole fleet will learn from the experiences of each member, likely in near-realtime. More than just traffic conditions, this will help with things like emergency response.

(We should be making self-driving nerf golfcarts with a top speed of maybe 15kph. Duh! We could make those today and sell a million and then incrementally make f'ing sportscars and sh!t.)

My brother did a real-time flight around the world (with something like 5-8 hops). Every time he'd reach a waypoint and get his next bearings, he'd set autopilot and watch another show on TV, because it was boring to just stare at the blue ocean. :)

Plus, he'd cheat by slewing if he messed up a landing (instead of just turning around). I gave him a lot of grief for that.

> It’d also be conducive to his wallet if they get born before Jan 1st.

Agreed. Also, being born even on December 31 2019 qualifies you for having another dependent in your household for the entire 2019 taxes, so it's a double whammy.

A due date after September-ish ensures you're only paying the medical treatments/screens/hospitalization/etc for that year and that year only (vs, as you mention, a due date that happens potentially anytime between Jan-August).

It's tricky. Unfortunately.

Utter nonsense. That kind of deregulation fixes everything always assumes a perfect market with perfect information, ie consumers who can actually judge the quality of the product their receiving. Drugs most definitely do not fit into this category, how do I tell if the drug I'm taking is actually working? Would I feel worse or be getting sicker faster if I weren't taking Pepsi Insulin (tm) or is it just a placebo and I'm just going through the disease normally (or tricking my self into feeling better because I'm taking something). Ok, this drug does make me feel better but it turns out it makes mutant babies if I happen to get pregnant while taking it (see Thalidomide or the warnings on basically any acne medication).

On my laptop, which is my only macOS device, the only scripts I use are a few python ones. Anything more advanced is on a linux desktop or server. Otherwise, on mac it's mostly ranger, vim, and ssh.

>No matter how fucked up these things are you don't want to lower yourself to their standards, you'll lose all grounds for discussion.

This is the classic centrist liberalism argument that we have to maintain civility at all costs.

The time for civility was back when the drug companies were doing things like pushing bad legislation (that didn't directly hurt people) or the like.

The time for civility is over. People are dying because drug companies are too greedy and unregulated. The only way to get them to stop being utter vacuous wastes of oxygen is, in the long term, regulation. But in the short term? Harass the fuck out of them. I have exactly zero sympathy for the pharma execs that are profiteering off human misery.
If you’re crashing (low blood glucose) you don’t take insulin, you drink juice or call an ambulance (My partner has had to do this, unfortunately). If you’re so high that you’re having trouble using a syringe you need to be in a hospital.

"...made free 100 years ago..."??? What?

> Insulin from cattle and pigs was used for many years to treat diabetes and saved millions of lives, but it wasn’t perfect, as it caused allergic reactions in many patients. The first genetically engineered, synthetic “human” insulin was produced in 1978 using E. coli bacteria to produce the insulin. Eli Lilly went on in 1982 to sell the first commercially available biosynthetic human insulin under the brand name Humulin. [0]

This process—programming bacteria to generate complex human biomolecules for our consumption(!!)—was a crowning human achievement. It did not occur 100 years ago. Insulin is not simple [1], and making it in the current pharmaceutical form that we expect, at the scale we need, is not some simple, 100 year old thing. We can't take these things for granted.

No comment on how much makers should charge for insulin.

> The US funds the manufacture and research on drugs for rare diseases but only while the drug is under patent. Once the drug is out of patent then there is no regulation. These are called "orphan drugs."

This is exactly the opposite of the case. The FDA wanted to encourage manufacturers to conduct new safety and efficacy trials on drugs (that can be out of patent) to treat 'orphan conditions', which are conditions that exist in rare populations, which could be currently off-label indications. Because it is outside of the scope of the FDA, the FDA cannot incentivise you to help this class of underprivileged people by extending your patent monopoly. What it can do, is to give you the exclusive rights to advertise your drug, which, in the US, is a de facto monopoly. Of course, this regulation is highly abused.

One of my favorite AI jokes:

It would be fetish to actually make humanoid servitor robots. IMO.
To be fair, the connectionist variety of ML is extremely compatible with the majority of the hard sciences (Linear Alg, Calculus, not really much CS/discrete math if you think about it). A physics/rigorous CogSci background prepares you just as well as CS for most of the interesting AI stuff. The fact that AI and CS in general has such a low barrier of entry is something to be celebrated. Be glad that our domain do not suffer from the gatekeeping in Medicine and Law.
"I hope they don't just focus on insulin." is a great point.

One way we have gotten into this mess is going at healthcare in a piecemeal fashion. First we have a program for the seniors, then for the veterans, then for the poor, then we get COBRA and "you can keep your children on your employer's plan until they are 26", then there is Obamacare which can be good sometimes and bad other times.

(When I am between jobs I have a $20 premium and a $15 copay. When I am making moderate money I my premium is similar, but I get high deductible "junk insurance" where I pay more like $150 for a visit. I could buy low deductible insurance but the price difference is about the same the deductible)

Each time they add a new piece to the system, you are left with the remainder that is more intractable. If they do something special for insulin that will somehow cost the government a lot of money and then next time it will be some other drug.

If they really wanted to save money they would start dismantling parts of the system. For instance, eliminate the tax deduction for employer insurance and herd everybody onto Obamacare. "Medicare for all", something like that.

Personally I'd say there is no difference; I've stuck out on syringes in the uk for ages just because I found them lightweight and convenient; but recently moved to pre-filled pens. The cost to the NHS for prefilled pens vs syringes is pretty negligible.

Syringes were fine for me, pens might be less embarrassing to use in public maybe?
There is an even more fundamental blocker to a free market in healthcare: free markets don't work when one of the parties to the transaction has their very life on the table in a transaction.

It's a minor miracle and a testament to the moral standing of health-care industry execs up until recently that the market has worked as well as it has for most of the last hundred years.

Uninformed guess: Maybe it relates to their other success at maintaining and re-releasing their well-known and well-loved games?

e.g. it's apparently been worth it for them to re-release Age of Empires II (as an HD edition in 2013), then Halo Master Chief Collection (2014).
AoE is re-releasing again with a "Definitive Edition", and Halo MCC will be releasing to PC soon.

> Seventy years later, we are nowhere near insect-level intelligence.

That's arguable: For instance, we have the entire connectome of c. elegans mapped out; we can easily simulate it, and it seems to act the same as the actual nematode. So, in one sense, we are at that level.

However, we still have no clue how such a simple system actually works to produce the level of "intelligence" it has. So in that sense, we're not at that level at all.

> We certainly have no idea whether the approach we are now taking (statistical clustering, AKA deep learning) is a path that leads to AI or not.

One clue we do have:

We may not be on the right path with that method; it's something the "grandfather" (or whatever) of AI (Hinton) has mentioned, and which I have stated before about...

That is, the fact that we currently have no understanding of the mechanism by which biological neural networks implement anything like "backpropagation". From what we currently understand, as I currently understand it, we have yet to find such a mechanism that would allow for it.

It's also one of the leading reasons why our current artificial neural networks consume so much power, as compared to biological systems...

"Copying everything down" is not what I would consider taking notes.

That's what (my) notes are for.
No but its better from a start up quickly point of view? I don't really know anything about the startup procedure for a power station that's been off for 6 months, I would guess gas is easier?/quicker?

I'm unsure if its better from a storage point of view. Yes you can pile up coal in a field, but I'd prefer a tank of gas. And there should be infrastructure for storage left after households move away from gas heating.

I'm speaking from a UK POV, the model would seem to hold for Europe and North America at least.
Brilliant idea! Looks awesome.
