Lacking empathy is a defect of the mind I would say, and clarity refers to the whole of it, just like health refers to all of it. A person who has healthy fingernails but has cancer isn't healthy, and a person that excels at specific technial problems, but isn't even bad, but completely absent, when it comes to other very basic ones, isn't brilliant.

> morality is highly subjective

And the word "brilliant" is not? "Highly" is just padding: Morality is subjective, and so is everything else, ultimately. It's not a magically different kind of thing to think about, it's just one of the more basic ones.

I definitely agree with you that things are better than they’ve ever been.

However, much of that security, it hinges on a delusion that this security will go away if we address climate change, which is of course mostly untrue. If we address this soon, it’s a matter of scaling back on a few luxuries while keeping other luxuries and the basics which keep us healthy and fed.

One example of many, how many suburban homes in the US touch much of their space more than once or twice a year? How many have multiple completely unused heated and air conditioned bedrooms? How much of suburban home’s storage is used by stuff which is bought and never gets touched again?

My house currently, about 2/3rds of the space is rarely touched, the storage in the garage and closets is full (organized, i’m not a hoarder lol) but full of projects and stuff which was bought because it seemed like a fun idea at the store, and all of that space is heated and cooled all year long.

The thought processes which go into the type of “need” for this much wasted space is just a norm readjustment which on a fundamental level mostly won’t impact our daily safety issues and still allow actual important luxuries.

If we wait, well, that’s when difficult decisions will have to be made, many of which will greatly impact fundamental life changes.
Permethrin and DEET have similar efficacies and the EPA says they're both safe to use. The main difference seems to be DEET is applied to the skin and permethrin is applied to clothing.

If WeWork is valued similarly to its real (no pun intended) sector - which is not tech - it is worth 5-10% of its supposed market cap.

I was thinking about being able to write regular HTML with code <?php ... ?> and variable expansions like <?=$foo?> with uses like having a for loop over stuff (like, e.g., table records) and inside the body including another PHP file that is the HTML to write with <??> tags that reference to the object looped over.

It has been a very very long time since i used PHP for anything serious (or did any web programming at all) but to me that sounds like templates. Perhaps you are referring to something else with the word "template"?

This is becoming increasingly impractical for certain ecosystems as packages depend on packages, which depend on packages, etc. It's less of a problem with the bundler ecosystem, where larger packages with relatively few dependencies is more standard, but in the JS world installing a package means that you're likely installing tens or hundreds of sub-dependencies.

> In its dry powered format, Vainikka compared Solein’s nutritional profile to that of soy, algae, or some animal-based proteins. It contains 50% protein with all the essential amino acids, 5-10% fat, 20-25% carbohydrates, as well as Vitamin B.

I am more concerned about the health implication of such foods. I don't think it's enough to say an artificially produced food does not contain any harmful substances. The specific ratios of micronutrients and amino acids and such have unknown impacts on our health, so, this is as scary as it is exciting.

There is a fine line to walk between outreach and including marginalized groups, and discrimination. There’s many great groups out there that don’t discriminate to this effect, but it’s not surprising that some have swung the pendulum too far and should be reined in.

It is bothersome, but in many cases it’s not policy/law experts who make these programs, but small committees made up of 3 or so people who put out these scholarships (I serve on an alumni board which creates/grants scholarships.) There are definitely non experts who make these programs, and not much oversight.

Being so pluggable, a file system should even be fuzzable inside of a highly sandboxed environment.

1) compile fs code into wasm

2) generate in-memory disk images

3) run fs code over in-memory disk image

4) use a neural net to search the fuzz space

At that point one could couple something like profile guide optimization but branch predicted adversarial input differentiation. This would automatically find patterns between on-disk data structures and the code that is executed from changes in those structures.

Zero syscall, zero vm exit file system fuzzing all in user space. One could easily get thousands of cores working on this problem in short order.
I used a twiddler and a frogpad for wearable computing, but decided on inputing through morse, voice or on screen keyboard (like oculus go/quest or daydream) and do the rest with a regular tweaked dvorak keyboard
NetBSD has been sort of doing this; they have rump kernels to run kernel pieces in userspace, and testing/fuzzing is a significant use.
So it's completely unbelievable that working from home makes some people (some, not all) slacking instead of working? I believe in remote work but it's not just for everyone like so many people seem to believe. I'm a living example of a dysfunctional remote worker.

> Perhaps it just comes down to having a team that can communicate effectively

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if you are working in a more functional team than the one I'm consulting/contracting with right now. I'm not going to name the organisation when I'm bad-mouthing them so much, but there are systemic problems going right up to the top.

If you asked me to name somewhere with smart, competent people throughout the org, working well within a lightweight but functional agile delivery process, I wouldn't name the folks I'm with right now. There are a handful of competent developers (all the devs really) and one or two decent ops guys, but everyone from the PO to the Security Architect, to the QA folks is a walking disaster zone, poor communication being a big part of the problem.

I'm just glad delivery comes relatively soon and I'm not trying to build a career with them...
My understanding is that DEET is a generally effective repellent -- but Permethrin is a highly effective insecticide and a generally effective repellent. It's also nice because you can generally treat a set of clothing with it and the treatment lasts for weeks at a time.

A similar vaccine is still used for dogs.

That project was inspired by a pusher trailer built by JB Straubel[1] (co-founder and former CTO of Tesla), and in Straubel's write-up he addresses this:

> Dynamics:

> Despite the facts that I shortened the trailer of the Gen-2 pusher by two feet and added more IC horsepower and much more pushing force with the ability of the AT to downshift...I have still found it basically impossible to get into a condition of oversteer. (This is where the car would want to turn into the direction of the turn if you take your hand off the wheel, normaly if you release the wheel a vehicle will straighten itself out of a turn) Even in relatively tight turns with the trailer at nearly full power, the car wants to straighten itself out. The shortened trailer also drafts behind the EV much better further improving the mpg.

Permethrin is vastly more effective than deet. It lasts for weeks, even across washes and kills basically any insect that touches the sprayed areas. Its so harmless to mammals(1) that ranchers spray it directly on cattle.

It is extremely toxic to marine life and indiscriminately kills insects including beneficial pollinating insects. Use with care.

Agreed - makes perfect sense, too. In more than one sense, music is about patterns, and part of the draw is the tension between being able to predict what's going to happen and being wrong in the best possible way.

Purely electronic, cleanly gridded music has its charms, but adding those imperfections often helps a lot!
I'm glad Ben laid out the bull case simply because nobody else is doing that. However, the analogy to AWS isn't compelling. First, running data centers is a much bigger challenge (technically, organizationally, and financially) than running your own office space. That's why AWS can maintain 30% gross margins and still be cheap at the price. By contrast, it's hard to imagine WeWork getting that kind of margin for repackaging leases (and adding beer and smugness into the mix.)

With the rise of serverless computing and similar technologies, there's also the question of utilization. Setting up your own server for an occasional request is expensive because you end up using some small percentage. of the capacity. AWS can make a lot of margin by pooling and smoothing demand for those occasional services. I don't think there's a good analogy in the office space category: maybe shared kitchens? Your average small business is much better at managing it utilization percentage for office space than for compute.

I am better now but still have some aches here and there but its nothing like what it was before, like the person above mentioned I would recommend a fast first and foremost just make sure its a controlled fast and she has a doctor monitoring her overall health while she does it, esp. if longer than 3 days. Me personally I didnt know about the fasting at the time but the doc had me on a combination of the following:
1.Cats Claw
2.Oregano Oil
3.Thorne ATP Formula
4.Corvalen D-Ribose
5.Thorne Adrenal Cortex

This was in combination with a strict diet, I cant seem to remember all the details anymore but it was something along the lines of 0 sugars, 0 carbs, high fats, lots of greens, protein via white meat only. I would also take a look at Stephen Buhner's protocol, the article below is a good read as well.

So, this brings us to the possibility that WeWork is a symptom of a broader problem, which is that all that money which central banks have been printing since 2008 has mostly gone into doing stupid stuff. Eventually, the reality beneath the accounting always comes to the fore. In 2008, the reality that spending so much labor and resources on ever bigger houses for people who already had houses, didn't really produce much benefit (probably not even for the people living in the new houses).

The money glut printed since 2008 has mostly not gone into new productive capacity, it has gone into a lot of software-related hooey like Slack, WeWork, Uber, and various new social networks. I don't even think these have improved the target sectors that much, far less have they been worth the labour and other resources put into them.

It feels like another Fiscal Crisis is coming.

That's where I got this information! Great episode.
2006 was the year that Amazon launched Amazon Web Services, a computer hardware business that leveraged the commoditization of hardware

I’m not sure that’s true. IIRC AWS started as a way to monetise the excess capacity that Amazon had to have on-hand anyway to cope with spikes.
One thing I must have messed from the article is: why are we not already serious about it? There was this comparison to AIDS, but AIDS had the whole horrible “moral” stigma against diagnosing and treating it. What ax to grind do people have with Lyme disease? Why are doctors misdiagnosing or deliberately ignoring it? What are the incentives? I don’t understand.
Do you think the Chinese regulator would have backed down so easily (or in fact at all) to such a challenge to its authority?

That does not mean he did not do it. It means that if he did do it he was then essentially fired over it and Cathay Pacific then complied and provided the information.
Isn't this why all the companies are IPO'ing currently? Lyft and Uber hit the 10-year investment marker and were essentially forced to exit, but all the others I feel just see the writing on the wall and know they can't outlast a multi-year recession.
If everyone is thinking the same thing, then someone isn't thinking. (This time, I wasn't thinking, but I agree with the sentiment.)

It's a pretty standard interpretation that the Softbank funds are a vehicle to deploy capital that is otherwise hard to invest (because of political controversy, dubious origins, etc). That's why they can afford to throw cash around so liberally.
I... don't know how I feel about any of this. But I feel like we are missing critical information from the article.

For example:

> In California, for instance, 11 colleges and universities reviewed offered 117 scholarships for women and four for men

At first glance that seems drastic, but I am curious about the breakdown of the students within STEM during this time. Did these scholarships cause a closer to 50/50 breakdown or did it swing the other way (more woman then men).

Ultimately more diversity (not just sex) is incredibly important for the industry, but I struggle with finding any information that correlates these programs with the graduating diversity.

You are incorrect. They are going to begin charging a small fee for public IPs (i.e. IPs that can talk to the internet), not static IPs. They do support NAT as an alternative, but they charge for it (and are slightly lowering that cost as a part of this change).

To be clear, none of this is going to have any measurable impact on me, I'm just pointing out the fact that they didn't really hold true to the promise of the free tier.
