> there's also Feynman the egotistical misogynistic alleged wife beater

I find it rather unlikely he was a wife beater considering what I've read about the relationship with his ill wife. It seems far more likely this is gossip spread by folks on a mission to slander great men of the past. If you can't provide any actual evidence backing that claim, you should really refrain from spreading such things IMHO.

I got a pair of Pros as soon as they came out. The fit was weird (maybe I got used to regular Airpods), but what made me return them is I ALWAYS got nausea after a few minutes with the noise cancelling turned on. It’s anecdotal of course, but maybe there was something on v1 that added latency/something to the external noise, thus inducing motion sickness? (Never got to try the new firmware to confirm the theory)
> it just makes it easier for you to share the data with health care providers

I don't want to share any more information with these corporate heath care providers based on real world experience with them. Is that "allowed".
I’m wary of “countercultural” sites run by a “small crew” not identified soliciting emails with no privacy policy in place. If it isn’t a honeypot it’s indistinguishable from one. Assuming it isn’t, the email list itself is ambiguous regarding GDPR compliance. It seems counter-intuitive to me that the intended audience would sign up for such an email list under such a cloud of uncertainty. With anonymity comes avoidance of accountability. Why would I visit such a site if I have nothing to gain and so much to lose from interacting with a site whose operators have inscrutable and seemingly paradoxical intentions?

I’ll ask more directly since I was vague before. Are you associated with thoughtmaybe.com? I only ask because you seem to be advocating for using it under the guise of a user or fan of the site, and not as operator or staff of the site; to not identify yourself as staff when commenting on the site could be interpreted as commenting in bad faith. If not then please disregard this paragraph.

Hi! Lucky 10000: Exodus likely didn't happen [0]; there aren't any obvious good dates or corroborating evidence, and lots of contradictory [1] and countervailing [2][3] evidence to the standard assumption that Ramesses II was the Pharaoh. Additionally, Luke's pretext is flatly contradicted by historical records [4] and based on a comedy of translation errors [5]. Hope this helps!

If it actually costed $20 everyone would be playing Taleb on much of their portfolios :). It is not cheap, and also not so easy to size everything properly. Hedging is not user friendly at all.

Robert Shiller often complains about the lack of general public awareness when it comes to hedging. Rationally, if you work in an oil company you should be short oil, but the opposite is much more common to be found in the real world. Similarly with real estate - if you have a big mortgage maybe you should somehow be short on the real estate market elsewhere, just in case your city becomes the next Detroit.
Another idea.

Show who is talking currently. If there are more than 2 people in a convo it would be nice to have a visual of everyone there and who is talking when.

Also this would be an interesting feature for people who do podcasts and want to involve their listeners, however, there should be a way to limit or a way for the owner of the channel to grant privileges to when people can talk so not everyone jumps in at once.
I gotta agree here. UX seemed so simple just ten- twenty years ago... and still I wonder how the hell people programmed 16 bit video games in a tiny system.

And everything on the web front is so bloated. Yes, I can make a pretty UX with that, but at what cost? I think that the faster and cheaper computers that we have today have made it easier to overlook how bloated everything has become.

Upside is, it does make a lot of things easier. Downside is, everything is slower and fatter. Mostly because of new frameworks, languages, etc that all aim to accomplish something, just easier.

And I get it. I understand why we want to make it easier. But again, what are the costs?
Well there was the killdozer guy, who did just that with what was basically a homemade tank. Which in a way proves that a sufficiently motivated individual isn't going to be stopped by silly laws against owning this stuff.
Good point. I was thinking that in a case of an oppressive gov you wouldn't be able to wear these things anyway.

The problem are the major costs that are out of your control when you have a family like the cost of an apartment in major cities with more than 1 bedroom or family health insurance etc. When you're single that makes things a lot simpler but people with families...
great ideas. Already have something in the works along these lines!
Nothing stops you from running multiple instances of a monolith on different servers.
It really, really, really needs to be stated that the thing that triggered this whole discussion is not a "new feature", it is not even an RFC, it is a blog post written by a prolific Rust developer who also turned the idea into a library, and wanted to share the merits of the idea.

The fact that it's controversial and "doesn't fit with the rest of the language" means it will very likely never become an RFC in its current state, much less become part of the language.

There is no need for the author to make constant changes to his code. It will continue compiling just fine. Moreover, new "editions" come along with nice documentation on what changed and tooling to automatically fixup code, and are totally opt-in. You can simply wait for a new edition to come along to update your code -- or not, it doesn't ultimately matter that much.
Yeah valid points, some companies do that, but I don't think that scales to every candidate who doesn't have a project that isn't protected IP.

If only it were so easy to do that with modern web technologies. Instead, you write dozens (if not hundreds) of lines of HTML/CSS/JS just to do a simple form post. And it feels like it's gotten worse over the years.
Not sure if the 1/3 is correct or not but consider this- that's the rise for April. Even people who live paycheck to paycheck can often find a way to scrounge together that money if they just lost their job. I'd say reserve judgement until we see how many people pay their rent in May.
This is interesting. Anywhere I can learn more about this or if you have the chance, would you expand?

Um, you're posting this on a site that's basically the polar opposite to "bloat" on the web. Badly-engineered systems have always existed somewhere; even the COBOL-based proprietary solutions referenced in the OP are a fairly obvious example of that.

RFB isn't RDP
These are all real cost reasons, but there is an important reason you are missing: people. Firstly, pilots don't receive much training benefit from being cannon fodder for other pilots; they are not learning to operate their system (whether Super Hornet or JSF) but emulating another aircraft (e.g. a Sukhoi). The situation is slightly different for the agressor squadrons, as they are emulating the most dangerous threats (like J31 or PAK FA). But for everyday readiness training, spending time as the red force is not a joy.

Second, the USAF has a pilot numbers problem. The more experienced pilots are getting out as fast as they are able; there are many reasons for this, and COVID-19 will slow it down, but it will continue. To compensate they are trying to ram more in at the front of the funnel. This will cause other problems, not the least of which is a massive shortage of training personnel, causing overwork, causing more FCIs to leave, and so on.

The ex-USAF (and ex-RAAF) pilots flying these jets are enjoying not being sent overseas to shitty bases on long tours, or having to move their family interstate regularly, or dealing with braindead administrative detail and mandatory fun exercises some Colonel dreamed up. They are some of the best pilots around, and normally they would be lost to the airlines.
I was severely disappointed when it turned out the Hyper-V Linux enhanced session relied on RDP and the experience was pretty bad. Was hoping for something from Microsoft that was a step up from VirtualBox and VMWare in every way and particularly the latency department. Maybe this new release of free is a major improvement?

Thanks. This helps
Who's pretending anything of the sort? I hope it doesn't really need to be explained that saying this is a reason why some people switched to Chrome doesn't preclude other people doing it for other reasons, or that once there, they're likely to stick instead of going through the headache of switching back again.

None of this needs to be taken on faith. There were Mozillians here and elsewhere talking at length around the time of the change about why it was necessary, and maintaining market share against Webkit browsers and especially Chrome was a major reason. I don't care enough to spend any of my Friday night digging up those references from a couple of years ago, but they shouldn't take all that much finding if you do.

>I think the idea that most people are nice to some people, and not nice to others is a generally accepted premise.

Nothing I said implied I disagreed with that "premise" and it seems bizarre how what I did say could somehow lead to your non sequitur of an answer. At any rate, what should have been obvious I was taking exception to was the idea that "plenty of people are overly polite because it inflates their ego to be perceived as polite." That comes across as reductive. The same argument could be used to criticize anyone's motivations for practically anything and anything's opposite. So and so does x because it inflates their ego to be perceived as doing x or so and so is overly impolite because it feeds their ego to be perceived as someone with a gruff demeanor. It's too easy so I was looking for some kind of article that at least made a convincing argument for its application in at least this specific context. I'm still waiting.
It's an interesting hardware bug, but the author's writing and saying "This story should not be allowed to die" makes me see him as a huge self-important first world prick.
> Wasn't part of the problem in the 60s that the generals were training to win the next war, which they though would be fought at stand-off distances with guided missiles (i.e. suicide drones) carried by planes with little need to maneuver [1] [2]? It turned out they were wrong, and had to subsequently rethink their tactics and procurement requirements, which led to stuff like Top Gun and the F-14.

Yes but not really. They were preparing to use the technology of the time to fight a total war against a peer adversary, a la WWII, and in that kind of war those tactics would have been effective. As it happened, Korea and Vietnam were a very different type of war: the RoE were such that BVR engagements were rarely permitted, and it became necessary to develop tactics that would work in a counter-insurgency situation where distinguishing hostile targets from civilians or friendlies was more important than winning the engagement. It so happened that WWII-style dog-fighting with cannons was one of those tactics, but that feels like more of a coincidence than a generally applicable observation.
I agree. Messing with the system can be fun even if ultimately futile. Also the fact that AI can sometimes be stupid can sometimes lead to good trading opportunities.
You seem to be complaining more about the browser than HTML per se. Why not use another browser ? or even a lynx like browser then ?

I think despite all of these most of us stick with modern browsers because the tradeoffs are worth it. Removing complexity and unpredictability at all costs has usually worse impacts than being annoyed and surprised. Except if your software drives a cockpit or a nuclear plant.
The one element is the biggest/hardest challenge in what you are trying to do. eg. skai has a partnership with BMW and so on.

Since you're an indie your best bet would be to get your hands on a Mirai or another FCEV and pull it out of that.

Edit: if I'm wrong, pls post in this thread how you got ahold of it.
At $.02/GB you could host a 1 GB video on S3 for about $12.

Based on past performance that price would probably be even cheaper as the per-GB-month price keeps dropping.

The video would be likely be much smaller than 1 GB so you could instead spend the same money to put it on all three major clouds, AWS, Azure, and Google, storage tiers for the same price.

I’m willing to bet $100 that at least one of them will still be operating a cloud blob store in 50 years.

This is the first time in modern history where every developed country in the world has top researchers expediting work on a vaccine. A virus has never been the world's top economic and political issue until now. Comparing it to vaccine research on other viruses is irrelevant.

That isn't what I said. You misquoted me and I posted my source.

To reiterate: Some doctors are concerned the ventilators are actually killing people. They are concerned because the death rate is shockingly high for ventilator usage, much higher than is typical with ventilators.

The evidence is mounting that use of ventilators should probably be an absolute last ditch treatment option for people with Coronavirus and that other treatment modalities should be used first. Some of these are as simple as recommending different sleep positions to ease lung distress, something I talked about previously.

It's not news at all that some positions are harder on the lungs than others. It's been medical practice for decades to put people on inclined surfaces when they have pneumonia to reduce the amount of lung surface being submerged in fluid. It has a known track record for improving survival and it's non invasive and doesn't require fancy equipment or training, etc etc.

Though it lacks the geegaw "ooh, shiny!" appeal of people cooking up open source ventilator projects, so no one is all excited to talk about such simple and readily available interventions that any idiot can do, even from home, even without a formal diagnosis or doctor's prescription.

Edit: My source doesn't baldly state, as I did, that doctors are concerned that ventilators are killing people. It more delicately states that ventilators may be harming certain patients and then cites the crazy high death rate as evidence of this possibility.

I stand by my more bald framing of the issue. I'm aware it's not PC, but there comes a point past which efforts to be PC do a disservice to the truth.
I find I just can't relate to what you're saying although I can tell you're perfectly sincere and what you say makes sense insofar as its coherent and on topic. I get your point, I just disagree. What you're citing as selective fact presentation is called presenting a coherent point of view, buttressed by facts. If the facts hurt, then that's information to the injured party and information they need to have.

To give an analogy, our court system is adverserial and most debating societies follow the similar rules. The reason for this is because the best arguments are just that- arguments. In a debating society both sides present their cases as strongly as they can and the audience (here readers) decide. Asking someone not to form accurate, relevant, and decisive facts into an argument because the facts themselves will inflame people is, let's just say very Europeanish. It's akin to bannning so called "hate speech", which is nothing but speech that pisses off the people it exposes in some way.

I can't support a platform that has hatespeech moderation built into it.

What is going on is that people who do do what you're saying I am doing, attacking with selectively edited facts which distort reality, are ruining your platform. They suck up mindwidth and attention and litter the place with n-nested, tit-for-tat, lastwordistic threads. They ruin the joint. Then it's not an engaging place to be anymore and the Good People leave. Just so you know I know what you're talking about.

It's your place, not mine and you can do as you see fit. I can't participate as a commenter, that's all. There's just zero chance I'll change my approach, so it's better that I just refrain, which I am happy to do.

Reddit got it right btw, and then it went full totalitarian and those two things aren't unrelated. When you let people develop their ideas fully, using all the means their intelligence and imaginations can muster, then complex issues become clear. When that clarity doesn't favor your preferred narrative, as it didn't favor the narratives of the handful of Reddit mods who run that place, then you're put in the position of hosting your own ideological destruction. Not many Sam Adamses are ever birthed in the first place and certainly not enough to keep Reddit stocked with moderators, so, of course, they shut dissenting subreddits down faster than a kissing booth at the Wuhan county fair.

I voluntarily retire my commenting privileges.

Not everybody cares about formal clinical trials, especially when it affects their bottom line. The global regulatory perspective is not even mentioned in the article.
