I was laid off in December… from my job researching the origins of pandemic diseases and developing mitigation methods. ¯\(°_O)/¯
> If true, it would go against all priors for how humans build immunity to viruses - especially coronavirus (common cold).

Another possible implication is that there could be multiple strains in circulation, not that the first strain wasn’t immunized against.

You are totally right that we need more evidence and this is very unlikely to be happening. But, I am trying to convince OP to continue to be cautious even if they appear to have recovered, both for themselves and for others. It seems reasonable to be cautious. People have presented apparent recovery only to go on to appear infected again.
"How are people supposed to rise up and depose or vote for less tyranical governments if they cannot access information"

I mean yeah, that's the idea.
If you follow the email thread through to the end, nobody was trying to intentionally break userspace. An internal error code was being leaked to userspace accidentally. That was the bug. The original patch was actually fixing a different issue, where some V4L2 devices were returning the wrong error codes! So userspace was already seeing an inconsistent API.

I don't like this email thread, because some people are clearly trying to carefully find the breakage and fix it, but Linus yelling at people is all that people ever see from it. So the conversation changes from fixing a bug to insults and anger.
As with most of what Sabine writes, the book is very one-sided, in that it gives the reader the impression that a free-thinking person can only come to one reasonable conclusion, i.e. complete agreement with the book. It also gives the false impression that the field is much more single-minded than it actually is.

And honestly, even if you do agree with the book in every detail, "just make correct predictions, bro" is not at all helpful advice for actual physicists. There is a massive set of possible predictions, only a tiny fraction will be right, and everybody is already incentivized to look as hard as possible for that tiny fraction, in as many different ways as possible. You might as well show up at a floundering startup's office, lean back in a comfy chair, and say "just make more money, bro".

Sabine acts as if the correct approach is obvious, but on the very rare occasions where she actually does mention what ideas she thinks are promising, they're just as contrived or difficult to test as everybody else's, and often more so.
> I have seen no evidence of this in practice. This is only true if you design is basically a skin of these frameworks. If you have anything remotely custom you end up overriding so much you might have well just started with a normalise/reset style-sheet. So for some internal application that never seen on the outside, you can use bootstrap and slap something together quick sure. However if you are actually building something with a unique it just doesn't really work.

I had the opposite experience. I've build a few projects with Tachyons and Tailwind, and I rarely have to create custom CSS. In one of the largest ones (that actually had a 100% custom UI toolkit with over 40 widgets) we only had about 120 lines of custom CSS, pretty much just overriding colors and adding some utility classes for animations, custom drop shadows and some weird hover states.

The reason we need so little extra CSS that is that those frameworks use the same defaults that designers use: everything is a multiplier of 4px/8px, font sizes are proportional, and it follows design principles. Actually, if you work with a designer chances are most of your CSS is already very repetitive, because designers love patterns.

When regular diplomacy fails to resolve an international dispute, what further options do you believe exist? As far as I can tell, generally speaking, you have economic sanctions, and war. I know which of those I would personally consider to be more humane, but if you have a case for war, then please make it. I’m also not aware of any sanctions that have been put in place because a government sees the citizens of another country as second tier humans. But if you have any rationale to support that ridiculous claim, I’d be interested in hearing it.

Yeah, YAML can also embed arbitrary code in the original Ruby incarnation and that clearly cannot be translated to JSON.

And is the only country to have ever used such weapons in wartime, and on a civilian population, nonetheless.
The original argument for CSS from 20 years ago was:

Instead of saying: `<font size="20"><b>Some heading</b></font>` 100 times, CSS proponents would tell you to just write `<h2>Some heading</h2>` 100 times with styles defined separately as `h2 { font-size: 20pt; font-weight: bold; }` so if you need to change it to 22pt, you can make one change instead of 100.

Components give the same benefit. Just write `<Heading>Some Heading</Heading>` 100 times with the definition `function Heading(props) { return <h2 style={{fontSize: 20pt; fontWeight: bold}}>{props.children}</h2>; }`. If you need to update it to 22pt, it's still just one change; not 100.

* replace `style=` syntax with your CSS-in-JS framework of choice for better performance.
There is a curse there though.

I've found fluency with how the computer actually works creates a great deal of friction with regards to trying to communicate with other people.

I'm so tuned to there always being an underlying cause that even my day to day communication takes on aspects of subconscious Neuro- linguistic programming; I end up trying to constantly tease apart or divine the nature of the underlying semantic/experiential construction of relatively high level communication done with a new person. It's gotten so bad, I can't really comfortably engage in small talk, because to me, it feels like I'm fuzzing the other person and being fuzzed by them in return to the point I end up getting frustrated at the complete failure to set up meaningful communication.

What this ends up looking like, is that with someone I know I can get into high throughput, deep conversations. If I don't know someone though, I end up having to noodle around and pry to desperately scrabble together enough information to put forth a credible attempt at meaningful communication where we both come out saying the same thing about the same thing to a high enough degree of confidence that I"m comfortable we formed a shared understanding.

Also, any person that outright frustrates that calibration phase, or demonstrates excessive volatility in terms of being able to reliably recall things (see compulsive deceivers/gaslighters/liars) quickly finds themselves on a low priority tier for further communication in many instances. I don't like doing that, but every time I relent in the practice, I tend to get hurt.
I think japan has shown us one thing. The absolutely dominant effect of closing schools. 1-5000 people in close proximity with high levels of social mixing and a very low rate of symptomatic infection. It's absolutely perfect for incubating the virus.
I don't think it's as bad as removing random keywords, but given how limited resources are in medicine, I can see how a provider wouldn't want to explain why every individual's hypothesis is likely incorrect.

On the flip side, misdiagnoses are surprisingly common, and I think it's worthwhile for any provider to take a closer look if a patient has concerns.

If anything, I think this illustrates how much we need to reorganize and improve medicine. It's not like medicine is alone in this respect either, many sectors are inefficient, but when medicine is life altering and can be life or death, it's pretty high on the list IMO.

Could it not have a significant impact on the last mile of providers (which is often a shared medium)?

Deprioritizing Netflix would also solve that, but given that this is illegal in several countries, providers there are likely lacking the infrastructure or know how to implement such a policy on short notice, even if these laws were temporarily suspended.

In a financial crisis every company is at risk, without support, you get a fire sale, and the cascading effect takes down more than just the irresponsible companies. The time to regulate irresponsible action is before the crisis not during the crisis. We learned that in the 1929 Great Depression. There is a lot of research to that effect. We saw that in the recovery from 2008 which used the lessons learned about 1929 to adopt different responses that the 'liquidationists' recommended (google that term and you will see your exact argument used and followed by the government in 1929 and the devastating effect it had on the economy).
GitHub could take the approach of collecting less data and saying that they don't know where their users are. They could drop the IP at the LB, disassociate all location metrics from their user accounts, and thus have no ability to tell where developer accounts are from.

But instead they choose to data mine users for their location and block them. Just like their ridiculous contract with ICE, GitHub is choosing to actively participate in these sort of things.
Maybe tariffs?

I'm not sure if this is practical to actually implement, but if you increase tariffs based on how many of each item you're shipping, it would eventually be cheaper to manufacture some of them in the United States.

Example, first million widgets have no tariff. Next 500,000 are $0.02 per widget. Next 500,000 are $0.03 per widget and now it's cheaper to make those last 500,000 in the US.

And for companies with smaller runs, like 50,000 widgets, the volume savings might not make up the extra cost of dealing with Chinese manufacturing (shipping, time zones, language barriers, etc.)

The biggest trouble would be setting those values at reasonable levels based on different industries. Not sure if you could actually do that in a way that scaled to EVERYTHING manufactured in China.

Before we can ask "is this consistent", we have to understand what consistency means. Basically, underneath axioms we have to have one more underpinning that is yet more immovable than axioms, and that is rationality. If someone has a problem with that, we tend not to engage them in debate. It may be that they thereby they remain unsatisfied, but that is their problem.

The "economy" isn't shutting down, only certain sectors (travel being the most notable). Obviously this has ripple effects on everything.

The original Kings Quest (on my PCjr, at least) had an interesting quirk that anything that was movable was drawn last. So you just had to spot that the rock appeared a second after you entered the screen, or the mushroom suddenly showed up, that it was something you could interact with.

I feel the same way about taxes, medicine, and real-estate: there are professionals out there who are more baseline-skilled than I am, but there's absolutely nobody on earth who cares about MY problems as much as I do.

In the average professional-personal interaction, they are getting... 5% of the margin from their intervention? 10 at most? Whereas 90% of the benefit goes to me. So there's a VERY quick diminishing return to their time investment, in a way that is not true for me. Example: real estate agent. They get 3% of the cut, I get 97%. Should they spend 2x as much time to increase the sale price 20%? No, that's not efficient for them, but it IS worth it for me.

If you're dealing with a professional who is MUCH more knowledgeable than you, it's worth it to take their advice, because they can do a better job. But at the margin, it's often worth investing the time to do deep research.

Nobody will ever care about your problems as much as you do, and it shows.

Why should software or online services be treated different than any other good/service when it comes to an embargo?

It's fine to debate an embargo, but that belongs in the political space and not technical or business realm.

Personally I may not agree with the efficacy of particular embargoes, but I do support the ability of my government to enforce one wholeheartedly. Because by the same token that you want to sell your information services to people oppressed by hostile foreign powers, there are those that want to sell them to the oppressors, and it's generally impossible to tell the difference. I don't want to hear about another IBM selling bookkeeping tools to another Nazi regime to improve the bureaucracy of their death camps, and if that means a few indie developers can't get Iranians to use their front end JS framework that's ok with me.

This debate belongs in the senate, not in the tech world.

It seems like for many userspace applications, the appropriate backwards compatibility ABI would have been at the SO level. ELF shlibs make it easy to version interfaces without breaking old dynamically linked programs. Linux is sort of the odd duck in that it considers the entire syscall surface a stable ABI. It leads to a lot of neat results, but can obviously also cause pain when some older interfaces are not sufficient.

That said — new ioctls could be added and new ifconfig could use those? Old ifconfig and user programs could continue using the old ABIs.
