From a completely objective and scientific viewpoint, I think it's incredibly difficult to posit that life begins at any other point other than conception. After that it's just a matter of how "done" they are. The Human gestation period has been known to be as little as 22 weeks [1] or as long as 53 weeks 4 days [2], while the standard time is 37-40 weeks. Given more technological advancements, perhaps the time could be even shorter.

I would say that given only this information, a fetus is a full human being at a minimum by 22 weeks. Now, by 10 weeks "all major structures are already formed in the fetus" [3]. So, if a fetus is not a "child" until 22 weeks (as it has viability out of the womb), but by 10 weeks has all the major components of a human, can you tell me at what point in-between does it suddenly become a child, and have a guaranteed right to life?

I don't think you can. If you use conception, you can point to the precise moment in time where every single human being that has ever lived or will live becomes a human being. I'm not sure how you can get any more scientific than that, but apparently it's easy to ignore for the sake of justifying abortion.

> For me, the main benefit of typed notes is that you can search them better. I don't imagine you can search for hand-written text among all sketches on your tablet.

You'd be surprised! OneNote's handwriting recognition is a killer feature for this.

As an example, searching for "rotation" finds all my notes about matrix transformations https://imgur.com/a/dJ4hTSZ

> Also, if I ever needed to take notes on a classroom setting, typing also brings the benefit of being able to do it without having to look down. Or at least, it's easier and faster to type blindfolded than to hand-write blindfolded. You can keep your attention to the front of the room that way.

It's true that you can keep your attention off the computer while touch typing, but my experience is that I'll just zone into typing what I hear without processing it, and end up not internalizing anything as a result. I don't think I'm alone in that:

>Probably not as ergonomic, I suppose. If I ever needed to draw sketches electronically, I would prefer to do it on my convertible laptop simply because the ergonomics of a tablet are not enough to outweigh all other benefits that a laptop bring. Realistically speaking though, when I (rarely) need to sketch or hand-write, I use a paper notebook. Different people have different needs.

I use paper a lot too, but the iPad strikes a great middle ground for supporting memory better, being able to search back through things, keeping everything organized and accessible across years worth of data, and giving me more free-form input than I have with a keyboard (for diagrams, graphs, tables, etc).

You also get great apps that support things you can't realistically do with paper, like Procreate's perspective assist tools. It's like working at a full size drafting desk with a big straightedge packed into something that you can toss in a backpack.

Like computers, it has more potential for distractions than paper, but when I really want to focus on something I'll just put it on airplane mode.

From ArsTechnica:

> To register a .com domain on behalf of a customer, a company like Namecheap or Dynadot must pay Verisign a $7.85 fee. Registrars typically add a few dollars on top of this fee, but fierce competition among registrars limits their ability to raise prices. But Verisign itself doesn't have competitors; if you want to register a .com address, you have to do business with Verisign.

> To prevent Verisign from abusing this monopoly, ICANN caps the fees Verisign can charge.

> The new contract allows Verisign to raise the current $7.85 price by 7 percent per year over the next four years

These examples show the system being very tightly coupled to the actual html. IME this leads to very brittle tests that fail due to restructoring/reorganizing/redesigning.

My two cents: I've never seen automated visual regression testing that wasn't terrible to work with, and where the most common result (by a large margin) of a test failing was someone would update the expected file/image so it would pass with the new visuals. It's a hard problem, and one that I've personally decided isn't worth doing for the customer facing software that I've been involved with.

The problem with everyone talking about NA statistics is most of the people who moved into the forests in the 1800's killed most of the wolves and so using NA as a statistical basis to say why reintro programs are ok and assuage fears of attacks is disingenuous at best. It would be much better to compare to countries/places where wolves have had a sizable population for a long time. Thus, see:

> are blind people more likely to be living in a circumstance where their mental health troubles are more easily managed/ignored/suppressed without the involvement of doctors who would otherwise diagnose schizophrenia? That seems not at all unlikely to me.

This could be a simple survivor bias. These are two highly debilitating conditions, chances are that they simply don't live long enough if it's severe, or if they do it just remains without diagnosis.

Wait, what?

That seems like it could have a lot of unintended consequences, to the point of invalidating all of the benefits from having tons and tons of new names. I have a lot of follow questions about the potential for abuse.

From the squatter/troll angle: if I'm a troll or I'm trying to steal good names before anyone else can get them, what stops me from monitoring the current auctions and stealing domains by bidding above the statistically most likely market price for that domain? Users have to guess in advance how much a domain will cost?

From the decentralized, anti-corporate angle: if I'm Comcast, what stops me from monitoring the current auctions, and blocking anyone who tries to register any variant of `comcastsucks`? With the current system, that's prohibitively expensive since there are tons of variations that I'd need to preemptively register. With the system you're describing, it costs me nothing until someone tries to register a domain that triggers my Regex, and then I just outbid them and block any domain that criticizes me, because as a company I'll always be able to trivially and safely outbid any single person.

From a general user angle: does this mean I have to wait 5 days to register a new domain? With the current system, I can set up a brand new website in a single evening, and all I need to do is find a name that isn't taken yet -- I don't have to worry someone else will see what I'm doing and snipe my purchase. With the system you're describing, I have to wait 5 days to discover whether or not I'm actually going to be able to buy the domain I want at all, and if I don't get it, then I need to repeat the entire process?

I have so many questions about this system now. There has to be something you're leaving out here. I can't imagine using a DNS registrar that made me wait 5 days to discover whether or not I got to have the domain, or that made me guess how much it would cost at the risk of losing the entire domain. If there aren't other details you're leaving out, that's a strictly worse system than what we have right now.

M4/M7 was already making convincing arguments against TI/ADI DSPs. If you went and replaced the DSP block inside the ADAU chips (integrated codec + DSP) it would be even more convincing.

The tooling for proprietary DSP ISAs sucks, and with the dominance of ARM and available toolchains for cross compiling various languages over LLVM on basically any OS, it's just so much nicer than dealing with whatever garbage, dated, and poorly documented toolchain/IDE that they charge you to use for their ancient designs.

When “Grow Your Revenue ” Is Wrong
> My use case is that I work mostly from home and want something mindless to play in the background while I'm working.

XM used to have a clever little device specifically designed for this use case -- the XM-PCR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XM_PCR). It was a little XM receiver that plugged into your PC and could be driven from there via client software. And the protocol for communicating with the device was pretty open, so hackers quickly put together really good native clients for Windows, OS X, Linux, etc. that were miles better than both XM's default client and their Web player.

It only lasted for a couple years, though, because those same hackers eventually figured out a way for clients to just rip every song that passed through the XM-PCR into high-bitrate MP3 files on your hard drive. So what went from a neat, hackable little device quickly turned into a music pirate's dream.

There was a gentleman's agreement for a while between the developers of the major clients not to take advantage of this capability, as they all knew that if it ever got exploited at scale XM would shut down the PCR and all their work would instantly be rendered worthless. But inevitably someone shipped a client with this "feature", and XM predictably stopped selling the PCR and remotely disabled all existing units. Boom, so ends a scene.

(Here's a contemporary story from Ars Technica with more detail on the shutdown: https://arstechnica.com/uncategorized/2004/08/4147-2/)

It was all too bad, as like I said, if your use case was playing music while you worked the PCR was a really cool little device. I suppose this is why we can't have nice things :-/

> can you provide an example of a pre-money society doing this?

Can you provide me an example of a pre-money society becoming a post-money society? I can't name any. Unless your point is that any theory would be speculative (which is correct). I think even if we were to see the same evidence our conceptual models would be different but I'd very much sincerely like to see evidence which allows me to rethink things.
Answer from one European individual - USA of course. It doesn't even require a split second of consideration for me.

The major and decisive difference between USA and China is not what they have done, are doing or might do. It is simply that the USA is a democracy and China is not.

In the USA, most of the people in positions of power /have to leave that position/ and /can't do whatever they want/ even when they have it.

That fact alone makes all the difference and is so substantial that it in my mind totally invalidates any whataboutism in this question and any other comparison between the USA and any dictatorship.

Even if a democracy happens to do more evil things in a period of time than a dictatorship, they are the better choice simply because they are a democracy and thus enables the people to both protest and also actually end the evil, through the legal system in the nation. (This does not mean that evil actions are OK when democracies are guilty of them of course, I'm not saying that.)

If and when the day comes that China has had at least two transfers of power to new leaders as a result of internationally observed and validated democratic elections by the people of China, then it would be something to think about. But not as of now.

Based on the premise that I have to choose a spying nation, of course, which I'd rather not do in real life! :)

I don't think this is known or knowable at the moment. Hence the worry.

You are right that airports are probably a greater risk. Perhaps they should be closed. On the other hand, that would be far more disruptive.

As for basic hygiene, yes, we all should. At the same time, we all know that a significant fraction of the population can't or won't do this.

Edit: Here's the proper method: https://www.who.int/gpsc/clean_hands_protection/en/

A significant caveat is that the sink/restroom must allow proper handwashing. Many lack paper towels, for example. If you have to touch the faucet handle or the door after you start washing (which takes two minutes), the method has not been followed. It's harder than it looks.

Let's check back in a few decades and see if this still holds true.

> The problem to me is that the applicant pool doesn't always represent the best

True, which is why I made the statement narrow -- we hire the best applicants. I make no claim that the applicants are the best devs available in the industry overall. "Best", after all, is context-dependent. A top notch engineer may not be the best for a given position due to other factors.

The point I was trying to make is that we hire based on ability, not based on unrelated factors such as trying to hit arbitrary diversity goals. For these companies, the diversity comes naturally as a result of not caring what the race/gender/age of the applicant is. I have no idea, and make no claim about, whether or not the experience at these companies is an exception or a norm. It's just what I've personally seen.

To be fair, due to inflation, prices need to rise each year to continue the same real revenue.

And your assumption that no new services will be added is likely untrue. Over the past decade all registrars have had to add significant security measures to combat rising domain theft scams among other features added.

Granted, 7% is high, but expecting prices to stay fixed for for the same goods goods is not reasonable.

Why not? It's certainly not definitive, but assuming a correlation between number of sensors and dataflow is certainly a reasonable starting point. If you really want to suggest the number of raw sensors is meaningless with regard to data volume, that seems like a much bolder claim. Especially when, as here, it's a 4-5 order of magnitude difference.
