> even if most people don't stick to it, the important step is that every company in the world is now remote-ready when needed

Yes, exactly.

> It's already cracked: second life does it

Maybe, but Second Life has been around forever and the percentage of the population that uses it is really, really tiny. And it doesn't make billions.

I'm talking more about Facebook levels or Zoom levels of popularity, the kind of thing that everyone in the world would use. Something that my grandmother or mother or my neighbors and non-technical friends would actually download and install, use from their phones every single day, and be afraid that they're missing out on something if they don't use it.

I'm explicitly not talking about a game (or game-like "virtual world").

Put another way, right now everyone is on Google Hangouts, Zoom, or FaceTime to spend time socially with one another. You're right. It's boring and not a great way to interact. But face-to-face is better than avatar-to-avatar for the general public, for people like my mother and friends and teens, and once someone can figure out to have a party atmosphere with friends via video at scale, they'll make billions.

> PC sales are already going up. There will inevitably be a trend towards better desktop apps, games will benefit

You misread that section. When I said "mobile first", I was talking about tech but that section was not about tech. That section was about how, like tech went "mobile first", other industries will have to start thinking "delivery first" or perhaps more accurately "no foot traffic first". In the last decade, tech companies have had to be prepared for 90% of their customers being mobile, and now brick-and-mortar stores must start preparing for 90% of their customers not ever setting foot in their store.

In other words: How will a shoe store stay in business if nobody goes in to try shoes? How will a comic book store stay in business if people don't come in to browse comics? What's their strategy? Will they beef up their online presence? If you're going to open an art gallery, how do you share it online and get people to buy expensive art online?

Can you compete with Amazon or Etsy or eBay?

> Tourism is seeing a major earthquake. There are entire countries dependent on it. I think they will switch to interim solutions, like long-term stays, advertising their covid-safety etc.

I agree with the last bit. Being COVID-19 or "pandemic safe" is going to be a big thing. I'm less sold on long-term stays, but who knows, really?

Another solution to this, suggested by many when iOS 11 came with this design, is a three way toggle. But Apple plays to its tune, and rarely listens to users (or even to power users and popular people who write about it).
You have missed the point I'm making. I actually agree with what you say, but I'm suggesting taking a different point of view, and placing ethical and moral value on speech, by dropping the clearly emotive "free" and replacing it with "privelege". Why privelege? Because living in a society that values expression wouldn't function without being able to express ideas openly. I'm suggesting that the majority of people misunderstand the responsibility that comes with freedom of speech and that is what needs adressing.

GDScript is reasonable once you've picked it up and Godot shines for 2D games because of simplicity compared to Unity. The main hassle that killed it for me is the effort required to integrate all the 3rd party libraries from ad companies, analytics, etc. There's not really good support on wrappers for common 3rd party libraries on mobile. If you're serious about game dev I'd focus on Unity because that's where the ecosystem is.

>> And in this case you can be your own CA and verify your own certificate

If you want encryption for yourself only when accessing your own website, sure you can add yourself as a CA in your own browser and then you also get he benefit of authentication... That is a very niche use case though; not a typical/general use case. Also where the attacker is located doesn't matter. If your browser doesn't have the origin server's CA added in its certificate list then the attack can also be done in close proximity to your machine (e.g. WiFi endpoint). So while not always incorrect, your argument is generally incorrect.

>> It does not defeat the point because your regular HTTP server can be MitM in the same way so not having self-signed HTTPS because of that is moot.

For a typical use case, you add almost no security by having a self-signed certificate compared to using plain HTTP. The only difference between an attacker who is able to carry out a MitM attack over HTTP vs an attacker who can do the same attack over self-signed HTTPS is a few additional lines of code in the attacker's software to proxy the fake certs; basically they can break it just as easily just by having better software. It doesn't matter at all where the attacker is located; whether closer to the server (like an employee of an ISP) or the user's machine (like near a WiFi endpoint).
No, the ideal way for it to be solved is for the U.S. government as a collective to give a shit about science, which they don't, and I doubt will within my lifetime.

Care for one of my issues is only conducted as Stanford and Cedars-Sinai. There's a little more specifics/a split subgroup to it, and Stanford cares for the subgroup I'm in. The majority of the rest of healthcare in the U.S. claims that it does not exist, is impossible, and that symptoms are completely psychosomatic.

Care for my second large issue is an incredibly misunderstood surgery that is led world-wide at Massachusetts General Hospital. 10 years ago, the condition wasn't really accepted as being real across the majority medical community. 5 years later, things are a bit better but many doctors believe some hoo doo it's only X because Y and definitely not Z.

8 years later, vascular surgeons are still basically at war with each other on deciding the correct course of surgery... Despite 1 of 3 being successful in over 80% of cases and the other 2 of 3 leading to permanent disability and chronic pain in ~50% of cases. To be fair, there's about 5 truly good surgeons in the U.S. right now, but only MGH accepts out of state Medicaid, and coincidentally/luckily enough for me, that surgeon is widely regarded as the best.

Anyways, now I'm just rambling off topic in this thread. Yes, I agree that society cannot continue this way. I'm actually in the realm of wishing we said fuck medical ethics for as long as it takes to figure out how to cure most of disease/conditions that can be seen before birth. Would probably happen fairly quickly in the grand scheme of things if the medical community had the funding and ability. But, that's something that will also never happen. Science is the only way forward to have a civil society (which the U.S. claims to be, but is clearly not), but the bulk of the U.S. populace, especially those who vote, seem to be quite anti-science and willfully ignorant in a time where we have near all of thousands of years of knowledge condensed in the palm of our hands. And then there's the sociopathic portion of the government masquerading as "civil servants" who exploit that for money...

I'm honestly happily awaiting the downfall of what the U.S. believes itself to be. I expect it within my lifetime.

Inkscape is a lot more versatile than Affinity Designer. So it all depends what you need to do. But also how you like to or are used to work.

Inkscape is more of a CorelDRAW than an Illustrator clone. People who come from CorelDRAW, like me, usually disrelish the way curves are edited in Adobe products.

As much as I like Affinity products (I own both Photo & Publisher), I prefer Inkscape any day over Designer (or Illustrator) for this reason.

The other reason I simply couldn't use Designer at all until approx. six months ago was that is lacked snapping of curve handles to grid intersections. It took Affinity years to implement this essential feature for people who do typography or logotypes[1].

As others mentioned: the Carbon native Inkscape (beta and now release) are even slower than the XQuartz version. Which was already slow, compared to running Inkscape on Linux on the same MBP.

For this reason I now use Vectornator[2] (free) as much as I can. For the missing bits I go back and forth with Inkscape.

Not ideal but it's only recent that the macOS version of Inkscape has seen more love from the developers. I hope that soon performance will improve and I can do everything in one app.

Charging more is harder than shopping for ways to save money and less pleasurable than dreaming of new MacBooks. Yes there is risk. Mostly of rejection. And rejection is painful and saving money sounds like what a responsible adult does and charging more just because you can doesn’t come with universal social approval. Your clients know this if they are hard negotiating on fees they are using that knowledge to their advantage.

The premise of the scenario is the freelancer is absorbing the risks of currency exchange. The client is not compensating the freelancer for the currency risk. The only way the freelancer gets compensated is by charging more or placing the risk on the client by requiring payment in the freelancer’s local currency. Neither creates a dependency on a third party, their API’s, business model, or terms of service. All of those are a distraction from doing the things that are the basis of the business.
A train between Houston and Dallas would be practical: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Central_Railway

I think the biggest blocker on high speed rail is being able to get places once you arrive, without a car. The Northeast Corridor works because you can get anywhere in New York, Boston, and DC with public transportation once you arrive. A lot of cities with intercity train service don't really have that option, so you end up driving to the train station, taking the train, and renting a car at your destination. At that point, you might as well fly because the steps are the same, but it's faster.

Sure, you can tax carbon, especially passenger automobiles... but you will cause a much larger recession than Coronavirus as people suddenly can't afford to go to work anymore. The country was built on cheap driving. It has a disastrous climate impact, but it's too established to just will out of existence. It is a tough situation, which is why nothing is being done. (We can't even get our train tunnel between New York and New Jersey repaired, and that brings 200,000 people to and from work everyday.)

They don't charge spread. That's the entire point of Transferwise.

My understanding is that Interactive Brokers allows access to the forex market , indeed with a low fee, however Transferwise will use mid-market rate which is unattainable via the forex market.

It's trivially visible on Transferwise what are you paying, where can I see the same for Interactive Brokers ?

For a good example of this, see Social Security (OASDI) in the US. The funding method is very regressive, taking a flat percentage of income only under a threshold (12.4% of income under $137,700 with half paid by employer and half paid by employee). People who make more than that pay less tax.

But then we use the tax to directly fund one of the most progressive programs in the US, which directly pays people who need it most.

I think most people would think of Social Security as a net progressive policy, even though it has a very regressive funding model.

John Cornyn, Republican Senator from Texas, writes:
> could we have a good faith discussion about the uses and abuses of "modeling" to predict the future?

I feel like Republican national leadership, which includes Cornyn, has not acted in good faith since the Clinton administration.

The entire Ken Starr investigation seems to have been a large smear of both Clintons, with a gloss of "principles" to get the media to repeat it endlessly. Yes, Bill Clinton committed perjury. But that was subsequent to a very long, apparently politically motivated investigation of a lot of other stuff that turned up nothing.

The N Benghazi Inquiries seems to have been conducted to smear Hillary Clinton, again with a gloss of "principle" to get the media to repeat Republican claims uncritically.

The entire Republican Tea Party seems to have been a propaganda effort to capitalize on Obama's race.

McConnell seems to have kept the Obama administration from doing anything effective about Russian interference in the 2016 elections.

You can dispute these things on some technical grounds, but there's nothing other than "bad faith" that explains all of them.

So why should anyone try to have a "good faith" discussion with Cornyn about scientific models? Beyond that, what models are we going to delve into? Biological/epidemiological only? Thermodynamics? Mechanics of materials? These latter 2 topics are filled with models, and they work reasonably well, allowing modern engineering. I think Cornyn isn't really even acting in good faith asking for a "good faith" discussion of scientific models.
