Not likely. Why would the groups subject to this effect be defined at the relatively artificial level of the nation state, and not at any other subnational (states or provinces) or supranational (EU or cultural sphere) level?

Furthermore, watch out for confirmation bias: why is Japan a possible exception rather than a counterexample?

Not a biologist or chemist either, but I'll try to give my layperson understanding: basically, many molecules exist in two different versions which are mirror images of each other (enantiomers). Most drugs are actually an equal mixture of both enantiomers (called a racemic mixture), but often only one of the enantiomers has the desired drug effect, and the other doesn't actually do anything. It is possible to create a drug which has only the effective enantiomer; usually, a pure dose of the effective enantiomer will be effective at half the dose as the racemic mixture. Medically, there are some advantages – both forms need to be metabolised by the liver, so being able to use half the dose to get the same effect gives the liver less work to do, which can reduce the risk of drug-induced liver injury. If the racemic mixture is already being widely used, then the risk of the pure effective enantiomer is likely to be low, since it is basically just a more effective form of the already used drug, and the side effect profile should be similar to the existing drug. Chemically, the manufacturing process is more complex, which adds to manufacturing costs; however, the main driver of additional costs is that you can get a new patent for the active enantiomer even after the patent on the racemic mixture is expired. For example, the common SSRI anti-depressant citalopram is the racemic mixture, whereas escitalopram is the S-enantiomer. Similarly, esketamine would be the S-enantiomer of ketamine.
What I am still looking for, is for a boot os that can boot a normal .iso/.img file from its own device.
This will be the perfect usb boot stick.

1. Flash boot os on the boot sector, place any iso/img file on the stick.

2. Boot from the stick

3. select the iso you want to boot

Don't know it this is possible though...

Where Hilbert erred was looking for foundations in first-order logic. Univalent foundations are laid on high-order logic.

It's the distinction between top-down and bottom-up thinking.

If you are into philosophy/epistemology - it's somewhat of an attempt to shift Mathematics from foundationalism towards structuralism.

I recommend this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O45LaFsaqMA

Hilbert's dream of Metamathematics has sort of come true in the form of homoiconicity in programming languages.
You meant index.php, not .html - FB is still largely based on a variant of PHP. If you try both constructs, .html will return their equivalent of 404, whereas .php will display the main page without complaint.
When I was young - before 18 - kids wound up in juvenile all the time for being out after curfew, which was 11 during the week and 12 or 1am on weekends. you were supposed to be allowed out to work a job, but folks got harassed nonetheless. There was no other crime other than being young and out past a certain time.

Now in Indiana, supposedly one is supposed to be allowed out with parental permission, but I don't know if it is like this in the rest of the country or if places have re-written their juvenile curfew laws to account for this sort of thing.

In addition, folks on house arrest or parole often have curfews as well.
The difference is that reordering is not observable with just one thread. Both language optimizations and CPU OOO don't change semantics within a single thread. If you use higher-level primitives like mutexes, they come with fences that also preserve that illusion.

It does become observable when you try to do synchronization yourself with atomics, without setting appropriate ordering requirements. Lock-free algorithms are usually tricky, and implementing them with minimum ordering requirements makes them even more puzzling.
I think people with severe treatment-resistant depression deserve treatment that is safe and effective.

The problem is that we have a drug that has a similar mechanism of action, and that we know is more effective than eskatamine. That's ketamine infusions.

We don't use that because it doesn't have a licence for this use, and because infusions are expensive and time consuming. But also, it's off-patent and so it's hard to make money from it.

Eskatamine only exists to bring a patentable medication to market, and so far the testing we have show it doesn't work particularly well.

There are some real differences between and within the different single Services (Land, Air and Martitime), many of these differences exist for functional reasons (consider s/w devs, testers and ops). Forcing everyone into the same uniform doesn't make the differences go away. The Canadians tried this and reverted back after several years [0].

It turns out that what's important is to to ensure that operations are commanded Jointly, even if the forces are generated separately. It's also important to ensure jointness in training, e.g. for littoral ops and air/land integration, so that people know what to expect when they come together. Many countries rediscover the need for jointness the hard way, when the different components are forced to integrate during a war.

>out of incremental improvements to the iPhone

So, how they always did it -- from the iMac (1997) to the iPod, iPhone, and iPad?

Apple never did "revolutionary" improvements. They put out a great product, and did incremental updates for it -- in older times the updates where even smaller.

Back in the day people went to WWDC and cheered for minor design changes or a new "now in color" screen on iPods...

This is something I have seen getting a lot of rise since the introduction of the GDPR on German/European sites.

The law text of the GDPR on the other hand is kind of strict in that you really have to agree to something by clicking and this "accept by doing nothing"-method is explicitly not valid.

In the 90s people used to bemoan Microsoft using their OS monopoly and force IE6 on everyone

Many tech people don't seem to care about Google and the Chrome monopoly

Maybe it was the same in the 90s, but the only tech people I knew were on usenet and slashdot, and thus it only seemed everyone was against Microsoft's behaviour.

Either way, we know how bad that behaviour was

My girlfriend recently moved in with me so we've done a lot of research. It's relatively easy to move here from within Europe, as in, if you move from an EU country you have a right to work and live here, and you get the same rights and responsibilities as soon as you register yourself as living here.

If you want to move here from outside of the EU it's a whole other matter though. It boils down to two things though: Can you look after yourself (for example have a job ready; just as long as you won't come here expecting a handout from the government), and can you integrate (you have to do a language and culture certification in your country of origin).
Ignoring climate change for a second and looking at things from a public health perspective, electric vehicles give you much cleaner air, even if you don't generate the electricity with carbon neutral tech. We should be converting vehicles to electric anyway, as vehicle fumes kill a hell of a lot of people. Large utility generation is far more efficient than small combustion engines and it is much easier to scrub the exhaust.
I wish someone would put together the "basic math" resource for people like that. I didn't do any maths beyond 16. I was an maths idiot at school (me? the teacher? I dunno) but since then I've worked 20 years in programming and had to learn more and more maths just to make a living. However, my maths is a rickety hodge-podge house, with no real foundations. I can't be a total idiot, because I've done some decent work in distributed systems, even research in CRDTs (which made me learn some math) but still, I'd love a self-study plan that took me from 16 to today with the _real basics_.

Thanks for your comment, it made me feel less alone.

I have been unemployed in a major part of my life, I live in france and am 34 now, and honestly, the fact that we still have welfare here that allows people to live a decent life is a lifesaver.

What I'm scared about, is how people often look down on welfare recipients, and how politicians could decide to force me to work somehow. As long as slavery is forbidden, nobody can force me to work.

What is weird is that in order to receive welfare, you have to be registered as unemployed, and declare every month that you're looking for work. Of course it is difficult to check if all those people are looking for work and you cannot really cut their welfare if unemployment numbers are what they are.

If you're a politician, you understand that welfare policies are buying the "social peace", but it's a paradox because most people will feel guilty for being unemployed, and people who work will accuse the ones who are not working.

Giving it to everyone is the cost reduction.

Leaving aside the question of old age and focusing on healthcare for people of working age, it is almost always cheaper to intervene earlier, and it helps people get back to work sooner. The case is even stronger in children where healthcare gets to determine if they get to live a decent life or not.

Not to mention the benefits of time saved fighting back and forth over bills.

A little bit of cost control pushing people onto the cheaper versions of insulin and things like that, in the manner of the UK National Institute for Clinical Excellence would help. This is also what every private insurer does, but people go bananas when contemplating the idea that the government might do it.

Oh, and pharma marketing needs reining in. Some of the people who were marketing opiates should be jailed for the damage they've done.
If you're going to pretend to be TCP, you probably need to look like TCP to middleboxes. When we investigated this a few years back, we found that on port 80, only 85% of the client locations we tested would pass TCP if there were holes in the sequence space. In fact this heavily influenced the design of Multipath TCP (MPTCP). The paper is here, relevant section is 4.3:

I've generally been opposed to the whole concept of animal "rights", as opposed to having laws that prevent humans from abusing animals, which I support. Animals having "rights" would seem to imply that we have a duty to protect animals in the wild, which we can't do, and, more importantly, don't want to do: many conservationists would be strongly opposed to us preventing predators from killing prey in the wild.

On the other hand, there seem to be a few humans in the wild: Sentinelese, Amazonian tribes. We deliberately don't enforce the human rights of individuals belonging to those groups. Perhaps we regard the rights of the groups as taking precedence?

Perhaps it makes sense for animals to acquire "rights" within the context of human society, but I still tend to think it's an abuse of the concept of a "right" because in practice it's just humans enforcing their idea of what's right: the animals are not being consulted and have not expressed an opinion. I don't think humans are competent to decide what is in the best interest of animals in the way in which they are (and have to be) competent to make decisions on behalf of young and cognitively impaired humans.

I'm definitely undecided about these questions.
It's a cargo cult
Again google comes up with this.

I think the google plan is:

1. hide the address bar from chrome

2. make users use google to search instead of using address bar directly

3. google will use AMP for every site of any type. Then google will serve as a proxy
And design ? Google can design well enough. Their interfaces are easy and fun to use. Beyond that, regular people don't care.

I'm coming to the conclusion that some people are more sensitive to design issues than others. If you are then there isn't much choice, Google certainly isn't an option.
Right, of course we should want single-payer, just like Canada!

Never mind that the average wait time to see a doctor in Canada is almost 20 weeks, and that tens of thousands of Canadians cross the border to the US every year to avoid that wait...

There are tradeoffs with everything. Personally I think people should proactively try to live healthier lives - the medical establishment is about making money, not making you healthier.

The other major side benefit of that is our society might be able to afford the overall cost of healthcare - it's not looking too good at the moment!
I feel like it's partly made to avoid people abusing the system.

In France for example a lot of people go to the doctor for the most ridiculous things because 1: it's free (at least at the individual level) and 2: it's an easy way to get a sick leave (sick leaves have been exploding in the last few years). Same with emergency rooms, people don't know what an emergency is, they just use them as walk in clinic.

Every time someone goes to the doc for a small headache or a common cold, just for the doc to tell them "well, just wait it'll go away, here have some aspirin", it cost something like $30-100 to the whole system.

What's gained by people understanding what's happening behind the scenes? We don't expect people to understand the details of how their car engine works, or how digital radio signals are encoded and decoded, why should we make it necessary that they do so for the internet?

Complex compared to what exactly?
Google doesn't need to have their own agenda to do this, they are simply standardizing the usage pattern the majority of users are accustomed to. People don't know what URIs are, they type "facebook" in the large search box at the center of the browser window, then click/tap the first search result. Many even type "google", click the first search result, type "facebook", click the first result.
To an extent although the difference is so wide you have to wonder if it is justified and if it isn't what side is wrong.
Exactly this. But even as the URL is irrelevant for apps it allows the web as a publication platform to cohabit with the one as an app platform. Removing them is actively pushing for the app platform.

Maybe in the future we’ll have 2 different apps with a UI optimized for each usage, ie Chrome for Apps and Chrome for web, even if the rendering is the same.

None of this is correct.

Certificates weren't expensive before Let's Encrypt, several outfits offered free certificates, especially on a "trial" basis that would be adequate for criminals even if it was largely useless to legitimate users.

But expensive certificate were, and still are, available to those with the Apple mindset. DigiCert will sell you a certificate for $218. Lasts 12 months.

And you're probably thinking: Right, that's a _proper_ certificate, that'll assure me of who bought it, and it comes with true security and all this amazing stuff. Nope, that's the same DV assurance that Let's Encrypt gives away, except DigiCert gets $218 of your money, and why not?

If there's a guy wants to buy one glass of water from me for $100 who am I to insist drinking water is free?

Anyway, no, certificates did not require "proof of identity" prior to Let's Encrypt, in fact back then they only required that the CA use "Any other method" a term of art in the rules that meant the CA could use its own best judgement (perhaps clouded by commercial considerations) to decide what was enough to be sure you controlled example.com before issuing you an example.com certificate.

_After_ Let's Encrypt, and with substantial input _from_ key Let's Encrypt people this was reformed to the Ten Blessed Methods (there are not actually ten of them today, but I like that name and it seems to have stuck) in which there are explicit methods defined for how a CA must check that you control the DNS names you want certificates for.

You are living in an all too common fantasy world. A world where you needlessly spend more money to achieve less security because you don't want to be confronted with facts.

My preferred solution would be an open API standard that companies could use to provide independent information about domains, that browsers could use to pull data about domains, and that companies who index the web could use to update whether or not they trust domains. That way anyone could set up as a source of information about whether or not a domain is trustworthy.

I'm not in a position to actually do it though, and Google are (for themselves, without sharing the API), so for now that's the best we've got. Maybe someone who has the resources to compete with Google will step up.
