I had the same thing happen. I sat down to do the long-form and it asked fairly invasive questions like what chronic diseases I had, and IIRC even how many sexual partners I'd had.

I pitched the thing, but they came to the door several times until I did the short-form.
Most batteries have shelf lives under 10 years so the typical AA probably wouldn’t last for 13 years. That said, it would be pretty incredible.
They tested that drug against Feline Infectious Peritonitis, and it was highly effective (turning a cat death sentence into a 80% cure rate), but decided not to commercialize for that because the market was too small. I bet they're kicking themselves now.
> Don’t fall for their “mission” nonsense. It’s a monstrous lie designed to keep funneling tremendous amounts of money to the people at the top.

100% For some reason, it is so easy to believe in it but the fun part will eventually come in a form of VC asking where is the money. "When someone says "I am not doing it for the money" he (she) is doing it only for the money." - Nassim Nicholas Taleb.

My opinion is that it is some form of common sense going around in societies that contains binary statements like money = root of evil or save humanity = a good deed. Reality is full of nuances though.

From history, the best businesses always have a good business model first and "mission" always was only a nice side effect.
Eternalism: The Fixation of Meaning
Alternatively, allow people to suggest corrections to a message, a lot like code review tools allow line-by-line feedback or questions on code.

In order to prevent people from abusing it as another way to get their reply seen by everyone, you could make it a private communication between the comment author and the user giving feedback. Or make it possible for other users to see it, but make it hidden by default.

That way, if the author wants to correct their comment, they can, but nobody else has to see the clutter.
As opposed to what, being a financial engineer or wealth manager? Or maybe he should be a real entrepreneur and open up a well managed brand of gas stations? Or build a better kitchen utensil? Or maybe leverage political relationships for tax abatements for major real estate deals?

Vs pushing people to strive for grand ideas, restructuring the greatest accelerator in SV history towards big, bold ideas.

As a Marine who has gone through many, many building and leaning cycles, I call BS on this. When you drop that fat, you aren't actually losing muscular tissue (at least not much). I've gotten down to Olympian levels of body fat, 9-10%, and what you are losing besides the fat is water weight. Your muscles shrink because they hold in less blood; your body regulates this to keep blood pressure normalized with all the decrease in fatty tissues. At less that 8% (on average, for men at least), most bodies will start to break down and metabolize muscle tissues (started happening to me around 9%, and was NOT a fun experience).
Remember everybody, accounts of democrat voter fraud are fake news.
Stupid question (or maybe not?) but theoretically speaking would someone who's willing to take the chance (~96%) benefit from intentionally contracting COVID now, while hospitals (in the US) are still no where near capacity, get treatment, recover and be immune?
Clearview AI Client Data Breach
I tutor for time management and study skills at my University, and I tell this to students a lot, especially when they ask about computer science courses in particular. I had someone ask how to get better at debugging (she was taking our C course which is known for giving people a hard time). I struggled to give her an answer besides knowing the right resources, how to properly search and troubleshoot, and raw practice.

It made me realize how much of software development is just natural to me because there's years and years of practice under my belt.

Practice makes perfect.
Microsoft was ahead of its time in this. In 2020 we are ready for it. Moore's law has caught up.

It would be less efficient and more wasteful to continue things as normal where every program has its own Electron. People already use Electron type apps. New ones are being made every day. That's not going away. If Microsoft and Apple put this in the OS, it would decrease the user's resource utilization. It's a net win for everyone except maybe chip manufacturers.

As for desktop Linux, GNOME3 already works like Active Desktop did. The whole shell is JS (and the GObject mess down below). I have used a lot of desktop environments. I've been skeptical of the JS eating the world trend. But I have to admit it's smooth. I had bad experiences with KDE (Qt/C++). Not only does it look ugly, it segfaults constantly.

Would it have been better to make a desktop environment in something more, uhh, professional like Go or Java? Of course. But that's not what the crowd decided. There's nothing quite like React for native desktop GUIs. Regardless of your opinion of JS, you have to admit that the React way was a game changer. Since there are no alternatives, the path of least resistance is to simply use React as is for desktop applications, which is exactly what has happened.
To be fair, your argument does not quantify precisely. At all. Your argument claims Bernie wants to "nationalize as much economic activity as possible". Health care is the first thing that comes to mind. What activities, in particular, are you concerned with nationalizing? Your argument is emotional and lacking in facts. A better argument would be: "Bernie has proposed nationalizing <X> which would have consequences <Y, Z> and those are consequences leave us worse off than <other option>".

Saying he "wants to nationalize everything" with no further detail, is a logical fallacy: appeal to emotion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_emotion

> As for Medicare and Social Security and all the other federal nonsense, yes those existing programs are problematic.

A lot of people don't plan for retirement. Do you think giving people in old age no money to survive is better than having a Social Security program?
Sure, they know this now. But if they don’t even know what passages exist, how can they be sure one that leads outside doesn’t exist?

An excellent point. There's even plenty of room within many religions for some degree of differences in belief. The buffet-style Catholic comes to mind. But I think a fundamental difference between religions & corporations is that religious institutions have fewer incentives to make decisions that favor the short term over the long term. That, combined with the flexibility to change (even if at a glacial place as religions often do) may be the key to their longevity.
taxation is the backbone of most if not all governments, no argument there and most rational people would agree, but the foaming in the mouth "blame the wealthy for all the ills facing the world and go for their bone marrow" is what I'm totally against YMMMV. At some point you run out of the billionaires and guess who is next in line to get strip mined in the form of additional taxes? the middle class and finally the poor.

It's more an isolation strategy than an actual shortage. If there is news of an outbreak in my immediate area, there will be a run on the grocery store, and they will sell out of items immediately in stock. I'd rather not stand in line, in close contact with strangers in my community, at that moment.
Hey, can you point me to a good guide for repackaging extensions?
I went from using AdBlockPlus to uBlock because of the latter's soliciting fees from advertisers in their Acceptable Ads program, so yeah I'm uncomfortable with the conflict of interest from the same party being on both sides and profiting from it.
It's not.

"It's not that crazy to hold 2 weeks of drinking water in your pantry/garage."

The recommendations I've seen have been for 1 gallon per person per day.

That's 14 gallons for just one person for 2 weeks. 56 gallons for a family of 4.

Not that crazy, I guess, but that's still a lot of water.
It may be technically illegal, but when I worked for the 2010 Census we were told that it's fine if someone doesn't want to answer a question, and that's what I told people when I interviewed them.

According to this article, no census failures have been prosecuted since 1970.

A little off topic but what happened to that other recent security "incident" last year? I forget at this point what even happened, I just remembered they just let it blow over and I haven't heard anything since.
A comment I'm sure you expected you'd get on this forum: you're gonna have to elaborate a bit on/defend a bit that opening line there about being one of the best options traders in the world.
Internally, i mean, thats how it was originally built and it generates code much in the way that C would, if you would have manually coded it. Maybe not jump on my head without thinking first!

I was turned off to Tailwind at first, but after watching the screencasts[1] the workflow started to make sense. I personally find writing good CSS/Sass from scratch very tedious. For something as "simple" as styling, there are many decisions to make regarding naming conventions, modularization/file structure, specificity, design systems, etc. I almost always opt for pre-built frameworks like Bootstrap or Bulma, but as my projects grew in size, I find myself battling with the framework to customize the components.

I don't think Tailwind is perfect, but find the benefits of consistent naming, easy modifications, and the "instant" design system, more than outweighs the negatives of utility classes. The framework also feels very light since there's no need to preprocess potentially hundreds of Sass files and I can just modify the view template or component directly. PurgeCSS also works amazingly well with Tailwind.

This article is mostly FUD

This is particularly funny - "Edge contends that many of the deaths at Grenfell Tower were likely to have been caused by toxic emissions from furnishings"

But there are issues around this, and the way forward I think it getting pollution meters into peoples houses.

We need to reduce PM 2.5 but VOCs also seem important, allow people to measure these.

Start with the upper class and clean air, bottled water shows this is possible, make it cool.
At some point in the near future photos are irrelevant. https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ is flooding the data, and its pollution renders it useless.
People use 'racism' to mean 'bigotry' in general these days. Whether you accept this or not depends on your stance on prescriptivism vs. descriptivism.
Tea leaves, charts, greeks - why should word of mouth be discounted? Like poker, you play the people not the cards.
Easy. Take any politician involved in embezzlement. Even if they will do decades of jail, during their trial they never wear handcuffs. Yes maybe they are VIPs. But this kind of shows that Assange is treated as an anti-VIP.
Before flinging labels, you should have read the part where I said the opacity of the algorithms is a problem. The opacity/non-determinism definitely does not wash away responsibility, and in no way did I imply that it does. The problem is that now people end up being responsible for something they don't fully control or understand, and that's a sure recipe for disaster. Promoting further misunderstanding by putting your own words in others' mouths is not the solution.
Cloning has its pros and cons, that's why it exists in the natural world. An obvious advantage of cloning is that a successful variant can spread faster.
If this is reflecting onto a different channel (frequency) then it shouldnt interfere with the original signal (except perhaps by reducing its effective power output by a small amount).

It is a general FCC rule that radios and certain other types of devices are not supposed to intentionally cause interference, but in this case there shouldn't be any. Even if there was same channel interference, its not necessarily considered intentionally harmful - for example, its not illegal to use the same WiFi channel as your neighbor as long as you are within other specified technical limits such as transmit power or antenna gain. But doing so for the express purpose of interfering with them would be.
Don’t get me wrong, I agree with you that it’s an amazing scripting language. But I think one of the reasons Electron has been so popular is that web devs can take all the skills they already have, including JS, and make a native app. Learning a new language is a barrier to adoption, to hiring developers in the future, blah blah.

But I want to give you credit for an absolutely phenomenal project! If I had the cash lying around to finance it as an open source concern I would, but alas.

Meh, I've worked 15 years almost entirely at companies using almost entirely in-house technology. Maybe it's because I don't interview for web-tech roles, but I really have never had any problems getting opportunities, and I don't think I'm unique. I think buzzwords are less relevant if you have any amount of specialist skills or significant experience.

For instance, I constantly head hunted for jobs with Unreal Engine and/or Unity, and the fact that I haven't used them significantly doesn't really affect that much.

"why? What is the point?"

A government or something with similar power wants to "improve" their society via eugenics. It's vastly more efficient with cloning.
It sounds like this technique won't work for realtime communication, but that doesn't rule out much of the IoT use cases. As for the 2 APs requirement: when's the last time you've been in range of just one AP, with the 2.4GHz band otherwise quiet?
So locks are only good because they don't actually work? And encryption is only good if it doesn't work too?

That logic kind of makes sense. However, locks at least delay intruders and make it harder for someone to go undetected if the break into your house. The intruder is either at your door for a little while, makes noise trying to break in, etc.

If the police bust into my house there will probably be witnesses and I will know about it. If they steal my data, how is anyone going to know? This gives them way too much power.
You seen to be conflating a household's actual expenses with a city's relative cost of living. Gitlab (along with my own employer and most remote-friendly companies I know of) adjust's pay based on the latter, not the former.

If I wanted to move to San Francisco I'd have to get my manager's approval, and I'd get a raise.

If I decided to have more kids, buy a bigger house, eat out more, start collecting vintage cars, etc I don't need my manager'd approval, but I won't get a raise.
So in theory, I should hold off on answering so someone gets paid to come to my house?

Do they have a quota to hit, like if I take my time with them do they get punished?
Probability 101 and Face Masks
Proposition: face masks are effective when you're sick, but aren't when you're healthy.

Is this not a basic misunderstanding of conditional probability? The prior of
coming into contact with a sick individual is sufficiently low such that yes,
whether you wear the face mask or not, you're unlikely to get sick walking in
public. Conditioning on your being sick however, you bet your a we're gonna insist
you wear that mask!
Short term thinking can occur within the same institution that also fosters long term planning as well. Indeed, the fall the Catholic Church's influence within the developed Western world may be a failure to recognize long term trends that required more multi-generational plans for adaptation. Similarly, their treatment of abuse perpetrated by clergy represents a solution that maximized short term gains (they didn't have to deal with the issue for a while) over longer term massive loss in faith, trust, etc.

I'm not even saying these institutions were even very good at multi-human lifespan planning, I'm saying their longevity at least allowed for that possibility. And in the case of many religious institutions, they did indeed embark on projects that lasted hundred of years (some of the largest cathedrals and other religious buildings took many human lifetimes).

So, whether or not the longest lived organizations on earth have themselves executed multi-lifespan projects, their longevity nonetheless represents one of the necessary conditions for such projects, and in that respect they deserve some consideration for how they achieved their longevity.
I know we're all stressed right now, and you make some good points, but your post would be a lot stronger and more welcome here if you took out the ad-homonyms and insults.
Small and orange?
This is worth quoting here IMHO:

"However, even if you don't get fined for not filling out the census form, there are some good reasons you should do it anyway. Seats in the House of Representatives seats are apportioned by population, with the most populous states receiving the most seats. Federal and state governments rely on census data to budget for social welfare programs that assist the poor, elderly, disabled and veterans. Cities and private industry use demographic figures to plan new hospitals and housing developments, and to assess the need for new schools or new strip malls. So, not filling out the census form may cost you something in the long run."
And Wine. Don't forget Wine.
It's backscatter tech, which was literally invented for surveillance (see Great Seal Bug [0]) -- modern(ish) versions of which are prominently featured in the NSA's ANT Catalog [1].

This is the same technology as UHF RFID (now Rain RFID).
Using dedicated RF carriers rather than ambient WiFi signals, we've demonstrated 100Mbps at 10uW using QAM Backscatter signalling [2]. Similar tech was used to read neural data off of dragonflies in flight [3] or self-contained implantable devices [4].

It was reported in the news. Also Bayer donated a bunch to China from their stock in Pakistan. It's possible that HCQ, which is widely available, has similar effectiveness.
But those companies have been bought and resold over time and even possibly moved. Which probably imply mortgage on some buyers. Not sure land owning is such a big deal.
These guys are wonderful. I built their shruthi mono synth kit a few years ago, and it’s still one of my favorites.

Wait, what?
Equating criminals should be punished with some people are more deserving than others is not the point - the deserving poor was a kid victorian justification for selectively providing assistance to a (conveniently limited) number of people while letting the majority of poor rot away in plain sight.

It was a means of ignoring the systemic issues that created and sustained grinding poverty - and is IMO something we are doing still - the underclass has shrunk, yes, we have lifted many people out of overfly in the West, but prisons are populated mostly with men with poor backgrounds, educational low attainment, mental health issues and drug problems - waaaaay too out of proportion to be confidence, thus making those issues part of the modern day systemic faikures that mean some of our fellow citizens have the odds stacked against them.
Exactly. I can't believe I'm supposed to pay for taxes for this. The government is supposed to be for the people, not control the people. I don't remember ever having voted on or agreeing to be spied on for no reason.
Don't forget the "Quickstart". For example if you run a weather forecast/historical data API most people probably only want "how to get weather on X day" which should be up front and center. The rest of the options such as filtering or finer tuning comes later.
