I don’t see how the college bubble continues as-is after this. What we had before was basically a common knowledge problem. Everyone knows college is a ripoff and, aside from a small number of degrees, the students are mostly just getting subsidized by taxpayers to drink and smoke pot for four years while the rest of us work and pay taxes. But, we didn’t all know that everyone knows that. There was also a coordination problem in that even if everyone is skeptical of the value provided by the experience, the pool of college graduates was still some combination of smarter and more conscientious than the pool of non-college graduates, so there was a signaling effect to going to college. But now a lot of smart, conscientious young people have an excuse to bail out of the system at the same time. I think many of those young people will end up doing something with this time that sounds better to employers than “I spent $80k a year living in my parents’ basement watching ungraded online lecture videos that were inferior to ones I could watch for free on YouTube.”
I assume you are aware Apache does not pay for any kind of software development.

They only spend money on some minor infrastructure to have JIRA and the mailing lists and build servers running; plus administrative / legal personnel.

All the new "Apache" software is written by volunteers, the mirror system is provided free by 3rd parties, code hosting is almost all on GitHub.

So, what would they need the extra money for? Another JIRA instance?

By comparison the FreeBSD foundation does hand out grants to fix parts of their OS which they deem relevant and in need. Would be nice to see something similar in other foundations.
Every time I see OpenCore I feel like trying to make a Hackintosh again, but then I remember that my GPU is an Nvidia one and that it will never have drivers on any recent macOS releases.

My laptop is another contender, but that has an Intel wireless card so that will never be supported either. The network card issue can probably be worked around through some virtualisation, but the laptop CPU is too old to do IOMMU properly so doing a KVM Hackintosh is impossible as well.

Out od curiosity what we're biggest things that you noticed or annoyed you? (I am woman programmer who was stay-at-home few years and I am curious.)
At my previous job I created wrappers around QSqlQuery that don't work with string keys in operator[] and instead used template argument pack decomposition. So given a function

DbResultIterator<int, QString> getUserNames()

I could do something like this:

for(auto [id, name] : db.getUserIdsAndNames()) {
// id and name are type-safe int and QString
}
vector<QString> v;
ranges::transform(db.getUserIdsAndNames(), [](int id, const QString& name) {
return name.toUpper()
}, back_inserter(v));

Internally the iterator would wrap QSqlResult and decompose the template argument pack, calling specialized functions such as

result.data(0).toString()

knowing the index and type due to the definition of DbResultIterator<...>.

Unfortunately I cannot share the code here because of copyright, but I can recommend it.

If anyone has an Intel NUC that they were thinking of turning into a hackintosh, there’s a really great guide/set of documentation out there for a project called HaC Mini[1] which is based on OpenCore. This was my first exposure to OpenCore after being a long time Clover user and it was very good!

> they're really attempting to use sophistry to shift the argument away from what was otherwise a straightforward case of them knowingly breaking the law and ripping someone off

The other side of that coin is that terminology like "intellectual property" and the equating of copyright to theft are actually tools embraced and popularized by those who seek to extend copyright indefinitely, so they can grow their rent-seeking profits. They're successfully planting the belief in people's minds that ideas should be treated like physical property, with rightful permanent owners. That's a dangerous belief imo, but it has now become widespread.

Also, it's my understanding that copyright law exists more to spur society-wide creativity than to protect any individual's right to profit from an idea. Yes, the mechanism by which copyright law operates is of course to grant creators limited monopolies. But I don't think we should get the law's mechanism mixed up with its moral purpose or even practical purpose. Calling it "theft" is an attempt to do just that, and is entirely unnecessary.
People who build software by gluing together libraries and frameworks written by other people, they don't need a CS degree.

People who write libraries and frameworks that other people use, they need a CS degree. This person wants to be good enough to go to a FAANG so s/he's in this category.

Plus we're about to enter a recession that will make 2008 and the dot com bust combined look like a wet firecracker, so this person really, _really_ needs a degree.

Your post still reads like marketing-speak — it is not immediately clear how you differ from other home builders.

Anyway, I’m not really sure the point of your criticism of VCs. That you eventually found investors is good, but your grouse is that you don’t have prominent venture capitalists among your investors?

Venture Capital, by definition, has a different appetite for risk than private equity for instance, so it is understandable why your idea may not have been interesting to them.

Why? Because it is inherent in their name: venture, noun; ‘a risky or daring journey or undertaking’. Building an energy efficient home is an innovative undertaking, but I’m sure many will agree it hardly qualifies as risky the way social-oriented startups like GitHub, Slack, Pinterest were risky before they matured into going concerns. Social businesses live and die by the power of network effects, so those startups had no choice but to seek out venture funding to fuel their hockey-stick growth and in exchange they promised their VCs high returns.

Home building OTOH may not benefit from seeking out venture funding compared to traditional funding since the risks of construction are pretty well understood. Also, there are no network effects to ride on to massive growth, as is abundantly clear from the WeWork story.

That’s a summary of the purpose of VC. In practice, the fact that VCs herd towards funding the next big cat video sharing app that would surpass TikTok is a different story. More of a failure of imagination of the VC class as a group.

Reopen a small percentage of things, yes but not go back to normal. It provides minimal gain which is import only when the case reproduction rate is close to 1.

Remember, virus still doubles every 2-3 days under normal conditions. Without a vaccine or herd immunity, contact tracing alone does very little. It’s enough to reopen dental offices possibly hair salons, not schools.

Not sure why you are getting downvoted. What you said is actually true for many that go to community colleges. Do people disagree about this?

I think there are many positives to attend a community college first but there are also several drawbacks that need to be acknowledged.

Another path you can take is to enroll at a community college for a year or two to demonstrate your ability to succeed in coursework. Check with the school to be sure that the coursework credits you earn will transfer to a larger school of your choice.

A relative of mine took that path (due to the crappy school he attended as a teen) and graduated as a chemistry honors student from a State University.

Reliance on ACT scores (yours isn't all that low!) is a mechanical, shitty practice. Route around the damage.
According to [1], Skiing is 0.7 micromorts, whereas driving is about 400km per micromort. Therefore, the break-even point is 140km (0.7 * 400 / 2 way trip). If your local ski resort is < 140km away, the skiing is more likely to kill you.

Your assertion was, "At the very least, proponent of this theory should be able to provide evidence that bats or viral samples from bats were present in the lab before the outbreak".

Yes, it's clear they were working with live bats of the species that most scientists, even those who believe in the pangolin hypothesis, believe is the natural reservoir of SARS-CoV-2. Multiple papers published from BOTH Wuhan labs describe such bat research. The Wuhan CDC did so much live animal research that they employed collections expert by the name of Tian Jun-Hua, whose work collecting bats is described in a number of pre-pandemic media reports (including several times he quarantined himself after being exposed to gross amounts of bad urine or blood). You can see him doing his work, including live bat collections, in this (government produced) documentary about the Wuhan CDC: https://youtu.be/ovnUyTRMERI

But to your question, here's a paper from the Wuhan CDC lab published in a well-known international journal that I happened to have open:

Guo WP, Lin XD, Wang W, et al. "Phylogeny and Origins of Hantaviruses Harbored by Bats, Insectivores, and Rodents" PLoS pathogens

Before you stop reading and respond, "those are hantaviruses they were studying. Covid-19 is a coronavirus.", let me stop you. My hypothesis, like others who believe this is a possibility, has never been that they were studying SARS-CoV-2 specifically, but rather that the lab, or a lab-adjacent facility, was where the virus accidentally "spilled over" from bats to humans. That said, they were studying bat coronaviruses in both labs.

Also, the Wuhan Institute of Virology was doing live bat research. See the many articles about the Institute's "bat lady", Shi Zheng Li, and her research.
That is not the commonly accepted definition of "efficient" in English. It would be more like "making good, thorough, or careful use of resources; not consuming extra."

The distinction is important because one can be very efficient (using resources carefully) while being ineffective (not achieving desired results).

In this context, the distinction is relevant because it is not clear that mass surveillance is a useful tool for preventing unlawful behavior (what most of us consider to be the desired result of law enforcement). Mass surveillance is effective at mass population control (e.g., subverting opposition political movements).
It’s amortization, which tends to work pretty well from a scheduling standpoint. You don’t have to get everyone to “Make the change easy, then make the easy change.” Even a few people doing that can fight a lot of entropy. It’s enough if everyone makes the change easier, then makes the easier change.

Every feature added to a section of code is new information about the shape of the project. Making better decisions as new information arrives is a perfectly reasonable way to stay between drowning in tech debt and deadlocked in over-engineering. YAGNI (yet) comes up so often I think it should just be YAGNIY. Also gets around the people who want nobody to ever enjoy their work by poo-pooing every single attempt at improvement.
Hi Edwin,
I sent you the emails some minutes ago ;)
American healthcare should absolutely be criticized, I just meant that it’s too early to say, as Joe Biden did two months ago, that a socialized healthcare wouldn’t have helped COVID because Italy has socialized healthcare. We haven’t seen the full destruction of COVID to make an valid comparison.

I think Apple had a stupid idea to become more luxurious and hire Angela Jean Ahrendts for 100M. God bless they realize, if they go for volume and price aggressive (as Steve Jobs said), more people can benefit.

I want hackintosh to work so well that indirectly, it will force Apple to develop way cheaper computers for the whole world.
I have seen City of God, but it was a long time ago and before I was seriously into BJJ. Have not seen Suburbia. The 'safety in planned suburbs' concept is utilized in so many countries though, literally all of South & Central America, Africa, the US in the past.... I just couldn't believe this whole discussion thread was going to pass by without someone talking about safety
Reading through the paper I can't see what the authors mean with "reliable transmission" there, and how they achieve it.

I only see them referencing having increased socket buffers, which then lead - in combination with the available (and non-congested) network bandwidth and their app sending behavior - to no transmission errors. As soon as you change any of those parameters it seems like the system would break down, and they have absolutely no measures in place to "make it reliable".

The right answer still seems: Implement a congestion controller, retransmits, etc. - which essentially ends up in implementing TCP/SCTP/QUIC/etc
You have some guts to call the article baseless and then claim "we" can trust Apple and Google.

Actually you can't trust them to manage the other things either. Google is notorious for abusing user data for advertising purposes and their dark patterns. Two recent investigations by the Norwegian data protection agency highlights this clearly.

Anything on iOS touching iCloud is assumed to be accessible to at least the government where the phone user resides. Their on-device privacy's much better, but the defaults are to use iCloud extensively.
I have a hard time taking feel good social science results at face value after the replication crisis.

To predict the s-curve for epidemic, you need to know R0.

The upper limit of the curve is 1 - 1/R0. If you use mitigation and effective reproductive number the number is 1 - 1/Rt, where Rt varies with mitigation effort.
That was back when an elite degree meant that you had valuable social connections and not that you spent $80k a year watching ungraded lecture videos in your parents’ basement.
Personally I'm amazed that there still are so many websites with opt-out policies, which are illegal according to GDPR.
It's a metric of exactly what you're describing. Going to a community college means immersing yourself in a community of people who see academics as a more of a luxury and less of a necessity; people who have other priorities in life, and will only participate to the extent that it doesn't interfere with their more important goals and obligations.
Marijuana legalization, etc. The point is that your claim has thousands of counterexamples and so is fairly nonsensical. If anything, net freedom has been continuously increasing, especially for minority groups.
Bingo it's expensive, which is why they set it to every 24 hours.

Also coz they don't want to add the queuing logic, so it takes 4 hours to run is an approximation. Also it messes with other systems so they prefer to run it overnight. This blog doesn't solve a real problem.

2) If you are studying a technical field, even if you are average, a degree has greater ROI than just about anything else. You can pay off your debt in the first few years out of school and continue earning dividends for the rest of your life.

He said the first two years. In a lot of cases you can still get the same 4-year degree with two years of CC if done properly, which would actually result in a higher ROI.

Ah, I understand you now.
This reeks of Hypocrisy. After years of VC companies investing in bat-shit ideas they now cry about not having solutions for bat-borne illnesses. Oh "failure of imagination" when they poured billions into the lack-of-imagination ideas such as WeWork, Uber, AirBnb, and others.

Oh now we need imagination when companies with potential solutions for these problems over the past few decades couldn't get these investors attention, who would much rather throw more money to the same set of well-connected entrepreneurs than ignore the innovation happening all around the world in small cities and mid-sized towns, coming out of universities that aren't in the Silicon Valley / SF are or NYC or Boston.

So, the chickens are coming home to roost. We have societal problems that Silicon Valley VCs haven't done anything to solve. Am I surprised? Hell no. Do I believe this woah-is-us "let's build" BS from the same VCs that have built what we have so far. Hell no.

We need new imagination for investors too. The same class of investors will give us the same class of solutions to the same class of problems. Let's look elsewhere for ideas and inspiration. The solution is not Silicon Valley VC. The solution is not the same profit-driven health care institutions. The solution lies elsewhere. And that's what we really need imagination for.
The problem is your competing against charlatans and ideologues. Who will use any flaw in judgement and thinking to further there own agenda. Can't promise to predict the future? Some confident idiot will.

The civil rights movement came after “the red scare”.

In fact the end of McCarthy came after McCarthy. That particular abomination universally being understood as one the darkest periods is also progress.

I’m also somewhat certain the idea of any net loss of freedom over the last 50 years would be considered a bad joke by anyone not cis/white/hetero/male. Into the 70s, you weren’t allowed to take a job or have a bank account without your husband’s permission.

And if you insist on limiting this to just the freedoms of the all-American white bro: the Boomer generation was still subject to the draft. Spending two years in an Asian rainforest in perpetual danger of dying would seem to be quite worse, liberty-wise, than... whatever you're calling "authoritarianism".

It's never been easier to spread your message to the world, so I would think that the "true", honest, good, non-evil, non-coordinated mainstream media would also exist in some form. Where are they?
The idea of "everyone" owning something, ie a commons, is a contradiction. If everyone owns it, then no one owns it.

Assume the thing has exactly one owner. Then "reciprocity" and "equality" are addressed by the owner charging a fee to use the thing. Currency exchanged by consumers compensates the owner-operator's work.

It’s a damned good technique because it eases understanding.

Turbine blades, impellers, valves are good candidate for printing.

Machining creates chips and I think you need to have variety of metal stock to spin on lathe, with different dimensions.

So if you've simply a bucket of metal to form any shape you want, it might be favourable to avoid uncessary wastage, cleaning, or stocking.

For example, in 3d printing plastic you just need a roll of plastic or pellets.
