The problem is you guys are marrying the wrong person.

My wife and I do everything together, including late night code sprints.

Find a best friend and marry them when you have that feeling you had as a kid when you had to go home after a sleep over.
Everyday feels like a sleepover.

I'm a workaholic, but I work from home right beside my wife so we can still chat and hang out.
I have personal reasons to hate the current administration. However, even an incompetent government is better than no government during times like these. I hope we can stay united in our plight against the common enemy.

No, absolving engineers from responsibility is the wrong move. People are responsible for what they make: hiding behind "oh it's the system's fault not mine!" is morally bankrupt. It's literally being a coward.
> then have time to switch back without a loss of combat capability

It's not that easy. You loose knowledge and vendors and people. Going from 0 unit production per year to 10 per year is more difficult than going going from 10 per year to 10000 per year.
`...would rather lose a lot of good drugs than approve a bad drug.`

Thanks for saying this, and rightfully so! Approving a bad drug in the world where distribution channels are very well set up could have disastrous effects.

We can point to things like the opioid crisis in the USA right now - a drug that is so addictive it should have never been put into use the way it was.
> I wonder if there is something inherently wrong with online business models that doesn't allow good old sites like Quora to sustain their quality.

For content sites, definitely. You get value from reading things relevant to you. But they get paid when they distract you from that and trick you into reading whatever advertisers want. From a short-term revenue perspective, the optimum is just enough content to trick you into visiting the page and staying there long enough to get distracted by an ad that you click on.

This is in contrast to sane businesses, where there's a close correlation between delivering value and getting paid. E.g., a coffeeshop makes money when you buy a cup of coffee, and continues to make money when you like it enough to keep coming back.
That is unfortunately no longer realistic. The skills and supply chains needed to produce high-end military equipment are too different. The production lines have to be kept continuously running or else they would take so long to reestablish that in any serious conflict it would be too late.
One more thing, if I want a webpage, I will just write plugin for this: https://github.com/netdata/netdata

Datalog is such a delight to use especially since queries are just data structures are just code. Once the basics clicked I felt empowered to do anything in Datalog, while I feel like I always have to learn or remind myself of more syntax when I want to do anything fancy with SQL.
It's bizarre though, because the latency problem is self-inflicted.

If you were going to build a brain-computer interface, why on earth would you scatter parts of it across three different countries like this? It's not exploiting a vast data center or anything, just a VLSI chip that happens to be far away. If you did have to do that, why wouldn't you directly connect all three centers instead of having a Python script(?) in the middle handing off information.

The membrane time constant of a biological neuron is also about 30 ms, which gives you a fair amount of wiggle room even in the face of lag.

Their solution seems clever, but other than a vague mention of "IoT brain implants" (please god, no), I don't see what problem it really solves.

Taking advice from someone on social media is very risky. There's no reason to trust that whomever is giving the advice is an authority on the subject at hand. Not a lawyer, not a doctor, not a financial professional, just a hobby programmer with really strong opinions, not a partner in a VC fund but talking as if I were, etc.

On the other hand, doing something professionally also doesn't imply expertise. My god have I paid for doing business with alleged professionals.
In practice though, how easy is it to find an investment for an expensive venture you don't intend to directly profit from? Investors will want their returns, and they'll likely push for the same means the project was started to circumvent in the first place.
The downside is that putting money into those makes it harder to withdraw for when you do need those funds. Savings accounts makes it much easier to pull available funds. Other than that, you're right.

Swimming is weird, right? Imagine if whenever you took a step outside you had to remember to put your foot back down or else you'd drift off into the vacuum of space. You could jump and fly around like a balloon but if you went too high you could never get back down. Swimming is that but upside-down.

Years ago I wrote a series of educational iOS apps for kids:

http://www.tommyteaches.com/

After a few years of Apple --for no good reason at all-- forcing code rewrites and maintenance I could no longer justify keeping these apps on the App Store, so they are now gone.

Anyhow, the Tommy Teaches apps used a combination of spaced repetition, genetic solvers and other software witchcraft to improve the rate of learning.

I mostly developed these out of personal need, when one of my kids was having trouble with a few letters of the alphabet (I forget how old he was, very young obviously). I downloaded a few apps to try and solve the problem only to discover they really didn't know how to teach a kid anything. The simple example being that they would keep repeating letters he had absolutely no problems with and gave the trouble letters equal treatment.

Tommy Teaches worked extremely well. Our local schools asked me to develop a version for Special Needs kids, something I started to do but ultimately could not complete due to Apple making it impossible to make money to fund such development (which, I learned, is very expensive).

Just a quick note/anecdote to say spaced repetition, perhaps along with other techniques can work very well if applied to a domain that might benefit from the approach.

These are antiviral drugs that may partially lessen the effects for some people who are already demonstrably sick (Remdesivir is administered intravenously to patients who are already hospitalized and is only in very first stage of initial trials). They will do very little to stop the spread of the virus.

(Also, perhaps if you read the article instead of just doing Ctl-F for Remdesivir, you'd have noticed that he said he plans to discuss specific drugs in an upcoming post.)
Have you ever thought, maybe that's how DDG intended it? small time search engines like DDG have no luxury to block any potential routes of people discovering them, especially through Google. I would even bet they are doing "SEO" to optimize their search results for Google.

> Drug development has been very conservative especially in the US for the past several decades

That is actually not what I hear from people who know this stuff. In fact many are very concerned that the FDA is far too quick with drug approval based on weak outcomes. (Big recommendation: Follow Vinay Prasad on twitter, he's spot on on these issues.)

> During WWII design and production ramped up to an unprecedented degree

This isn't production, this is science. There's only so much you can do. You need to do trials to know if things work. You need people for that. If you want to test a vaccine you need to have an at-risk population that you can test and you need to wait till you get the results.
Yeah, there are certain ways to improve that and do things faster. But only so much. There are hard limits. You can't develop a drug or a vaccine over night.

Most people are aware that the word 'Amazon' has two primary referents.

Given the context ("meat company", "massacre") I don't think anyone will confuse the two in this case.
Honestly, the way the deal is structured, it encourages all kinds of minor borderline graft along the way with every two-bit local politician and community organization with their finger in the pie. No accountability is a feature not a bug.

Contrast that with the aborted Amazon deal. The deal was fairly straightforward, but but it was simply coordinated between Amazon and the governor's office. They shot themselves in the foot by not playing with every local assemblymen and community boards -- not that any of them would have had any useful input.
Sure, why not? It depends on the number of elements, of course, but at these frequencies, you can fabricate a LOT of elements for low cost because they're small. Perhaps even chip-scale integration is possible. $1/element is feasible for phased arrays.

The discussion by actually passionate people gets drowned out when subs get too large. It becomes difficult to discuss things beyond an elementary level, as newcomers may not have the experience with a topic that longer subscribers would have.

Istio Circuit Breaker in Action
People do seem to forget how much a privileged upbringing can be a factor in terms of what university someone goes to and their job prospects once they have graduated. I've met software engineers who graduated from prestigious universities who were no more smarter than someone who learned programming and graduated from their local community college.

Its more of who you know than what you know unfortunately.

a vaccine might be 18 months away, if we're lucky and divert resources to the effort. if we're unlucky, it could be four to five years or even longer. remember, there's no guarantee that we can even make a vaccine for any arbitrary viral disease. we can't do nothing while we wait for a vaccine.

placeholder antiviral therapies are also a non-starter. we can't manufacture the drugs at the scale we need them unless we massively expand our production capabilities, and that takes time as well as money.

as things stand currently, there has been no substantive response by the US federal government to the coronavirus which will lead to the lessening of infections or mortality.

china and south korea both explicitly stated that they were transitioning to wartime footing to combat the virus. we need to follow in their footsteps. we need billions of dollars in spending, suspension of normal daily life, and requisitioning of the necessary resources from private entities if needed. and we need to do this today. now. this afternoon. preferably before 5 PM. this isn't a problem to be left until tomorrow.

yet we're still here, conducting life as normal as the infection reaches the exponential part of its spread. people are still going to work, going to church, and riding the subway. hospitals and prisons don't have any special measures in place.

we aren't even testing people after weeks of knowing that we are at risk for local transmissison. we have no extra resources queued up. as of today, our congress can't even agree to pass a funding bill to combat the disease. we have no leadership, and it's going to kill quite a few people.

if you think i'm being "alarmist", please revisit my here comment in six months, when we'll have a clearer idea of the death toll. i don't know if this virus will kill a million americans, or only a few hundred. either way, if we act with more vigor over the last few weeks, i can say with confidence that more people will live.

Never underestimate the power of the human ego or the almighty dollar. It's just unfortunate that in many cases these motivators get used for corrupt purposes.

EDIT - Since not everyone is familiar with the RIOT games example.

In the case of RIOT, they use it to control external discussion about their game and manage PR. Since the LoL subreddit is the largest hub for LoL related discussion in the western world, it's worth it to them to play kingmaker with the moderators (and they've given those mods the same power over Valorant now as well) and place them into jobs, or just outright pay them.

Of course, this turns into corruption because the mods have straight up banned credible journalists from the space, as well push discussion into uncomfortable directions. (Hating on certain people is not allowed, hating on others totally is.)
You could argue they had to because the product was a non product aka not profitable.

> Maybe that belief that I am conscious is flawed and merely an illusion

That's the Dennett nonsense. Of course our sense inputs are an illusion, it's that there is anything being perceived at all that is the mystery! :

DENNETT: So you see, Socrates, consciousness is an illusion.

SOCRATES: I see, but I need to clarify something. What do you mean by illusion?

DENNETT: An illusion is an appearance contrary to reality.

SOCRATES: And what is an appearance?

DENNETT: An appearance is something that is apprehended by an observer.

SOCRATES: So consciousness is something that is apprehended by an observer which is contrary to reality.

DENNETT: But that cannot be, because then the observer would have to be conscious.

SOCRATES: Therefore, consciousness cannot be an illusion!
