> Tomorrow's Kaczynskis will be able to concoct harmful viruses and insinuate them into the food supply, or perhaps release pathogens in public places. You'll need to be ready for them.

TK was heavily in the news back then so it's no surprise they predicted more people like him may be causing mayhem at a far bigger scale. I don't think this kind of terror is likely though since people rather commit suicide before going down TK's path.

They mentioned TK but didn't go into what drove him to criminal insanity: environmental destruction due to systems thinking (TK got heavily influenced by Jacques Ellul's "La Technique" and references him throughout his writings).

Difference from 2000 I see today which I wouldn't have imagined in my worst nightmare is environmental destruction. The places where I went diving in the 90ies: like Great Barrier Reef, Gulf of Thailand, Indonesia's "ring of fire", that were full of life back then, they are now underwater wastelands. The primal forests / jungle I trekked in North Sumatra are nearly burnt down and forests of Borneo under threat from total destruction thanks to the new capitol they want to buid there. Apes such as Orang-Utans (Malaysian for "forest-man") nearly extinct. The beaches where I hung out in my early 20ies are now full of plastic and need to be cleared daily otherwise tourism there wouldn't be possible at all.

I'm not TK but I do wish humanity wouldn't be "making leaps and bounds globally" because we destroy our own home and therefore ourselves for no reason other than pure greed.

When the human race makes leaps and bounds it also leaps further towards its own demise. And I wonder if this is unique to humans or if other species given enough time would also race towards their own destruction in such fashion. And if capable of language would they describe their leaping as progress or would they be smarter and see it for what it is?

We need to think of ways to reduce our population back down to size for the planet to recover and in correct proportion to our surrounding. Because thinking that we can just use smarter-Tech or geo-engineering will destroy us. The only way to get there is less of us. I already had kids so it's too late for me. But I hope I won't be a grandparent, and I hope other people also stop reproducing. I also cheer for this virus to wipe out as many as it can, even it means I or my loved ones die. Not because I'm a lunatic but because it's the only fair way (without a human deciding who is removed from the gene-pool). I also hope people will voluntarily opt not to have children but I think that's just a fantasy and example of dangerous systems thinking (who would enforce such insanity?).

Thank you for Caddy, it has saved me a lot of time and it's a joy to work with. Running it on about 8 boxes.

Is there an admin UI for v2? Seeing the configuration changes, it was the first idea that popped, would be great for the selfhosted community - maybe someone picks it up as a side project if it's not in scope.
The Oxford University team think there's a good chance they'll have a vaccine available as early as September. A university team, so not big-pharma.

E.g.
https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2020/04/23/a-...

Human trials have already begun, so they seem reasonably confident that it's safe and works.

I think a lot of the time taken to develop vaccines historically is due to lack of resources. That's not a problem in the current climate.
this is interesting, don't you think music videos were good also after the '80s?

In my very modest opinion they peaked somewhere in the '90s: basically everything by Michel Gondry until "Let Forever Be"[0] is awesome and some artists (Prodigy, Bjork, Fatboy Slim, Korn, Marylin Manson) have made their clips almost as recognizable as their music.

It seems these days they have become fairly boring but then again, maybe I've just become older and uncool.

I remember him writing somewhere that he does not have another startup in him - that, at best, he can now do the YC. It's kind of a hint that doing a startup sucks.

BTW you may want to try reading Jacob Fisker's "Early retirement extreme". He's an ex-astrophysicist who became disillusioned with the way modern society is organized and wrote what is essentially a philosophy book about how one can live differently.
Thanks for the article to remember me of the existence of this project. I decided to do a setup in my home network using an old Raspberry Pi 1 that I had. Mainly because the router of my ISP screwed up really hard in its DHCP server, so I decided to disable it and use Pi-hole's one instead.

I tried to make this setup as robust as possible, using OverlayFS [1] so root is read-only unless I remount it (to change configuration or upgrades) and with a watchdog so it can auto-reboot in case my Raspberry Pi is unresponsive. Pretty happy with this setup and it my internet seems more responsible than ever.

In my field you're describing "playing the game", ironically.

In academia the aim is to get a proof of principal, write a short paper, and move on. If you care about reusable code you are building a foundation for someone else's success, but not necessarily your own.

Neither side is wrong, it's just a different game.
It is decent for getting the concepts, but the number of practice questions (about 5 per mini-concept) are far too few to reach the kind of mastery GP is talking about. You probably need to do an order of magnitude more questions to get to the point where you stop having to think when doing these things.
> It's always a head scratcher for me why people building open source tools would put time and effort towards telemetry.

It's not completely the same as telemetry, but as an administrator of a free open source web service, I have to say that web page analytics (1st party for us) are a huge motivator, when you see how many people from all around the world are using it.
Not sure why would I, a "Golang person", be upset (also a Ruby person, even though I've never used Rails, lol).

The study that showed 21% positive antibody results came from self-selected testing of people physically shopping at grocery and big-box stores. Unfortunately, that ultimately doesn't effectively represent the overall population of NYC at all.

A lot. For personal projects, I'm going with RoR (though I'll be giving a shot at Phoenix in the near future). Sometimes I also miss static type checking and many other things Java enforces, but I feel compensated when I don't have to compile/recompile when I change something small. JUnit is faster, but RSpec looks better (just have a look at it). About template engines, HTML/ERB is the default but you can use HAML, or even better, Slim. I don't think there's something similar to replace Thymeleaf with. About ORM, I have mixed feelings, Active Record feels too magic, but this magic enables you to easily integrate your models with the database and not worry much about it. Finally, securing Rails applications is pretty straightforward. Rails doesn't bring in by default something like Spring Security for authentication but the Devise gem is good enough in this regard. IMO, Bundler and Ruby Gems is better than Maven/Maven Central. Also, IMO, when comparing major dynamic and interpreted languages, Ruby has the best OO model, Python feels lacking in this regard.

In general, IMO, RoR is about going fast while producing a good product in the end, and having enjoyable experience in the process. RoR is great for prototyping, but its good enough for a final product too. Java/Spring is rock-solid and time tested, feels better suited for really big projects with really big teams, as Java strictness and verbosity begins to help instead of eating productivity.

For my average web development needs, RoR is better, at least for now.
"The great bulk of evidence' in this situation would mean the data on the duration of presence of Neutralizing antibodies in the blood stream of people who got rid of the virus.
But this data is not there yet,as I said before.

Scientists are currently working to figure out how long the antibodies stay in the body and if they are potent enough to fight re-infections.

There is 'no great bulk of evidence' yet. Unless I'm wrong, and I hope I am.

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...
"For any country contemplating these issues, another crucial question is how solid is the assumption that antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein equate to functional protection?Furthermore, if presence of these antibodies is protective, how can it be decided what proportion of the population requires these antibodies to mitigate subsequent waves of cases of COVID-19?"

"Furthermore, studies in COVID-19 show that 10–20% of symptomatically infected people have little or no detectable antibody."

We need more data, which I understand scientists all over the world are working relentlessly to deliver, to believe that 'you won't reinfect once you get it'

Huh, doesn't seem to be in DHT for me, not really sure what going wrong there. Are you sure it's not marked private (aka is a corrupt or invalid infoblob)? And no, none of top three results on duckduckgo has a working tracker for it.
This argument make no sense. Rights don’t exist in vacuum. The person occupying the Presidency swears an oath to the country and in the process he assumes both the power endowed by the State and the responsibility to use it wisely. Yes of course he can’t say any damn thing he wants to say publicly if it engenders the institution of the presidency he has sworn to protect. The right to free speech is not absolute.

Similarly, the press give up the right to say any foolish claims without substantiation when they assume their official roles as journalists. They promise to back what they say with evidence and facts; that stops them from making baseless claims. Is that restricting their free speech? Free speech does not exist in a vacuum.

> But the previous commenter was explicitly talking about the supposed golden time of rural life a few centuries ago.

No they weren't, like I said in my last comment, they were talking about the negative effects of the modern overcompartmentalization of work. It's not hard to see that there are certain benefits to working for oneself in one's own home vs. being a cog on an assembly line in some factory.

I imagine they were talking about farmers, not peasants. By the way the average medieval peasant had more time off than the average American worker since the work was seasonal. The takeaway there isn't "let's return to medieval technology and start living like medieval peasants again", it's "maybe there's something wrong with our society if despite the enormous technological advances from the past, certain elements of society like autonomy over one's time have regressed, controlling for technology".

Again, the original commenter was not arguing that we should all start living like the Amish. It's a failure of reading comprehension if that's how you interpreted it.
> If you assume a solid, you assume a certain constant thermal conductivity, as Kelvin did, even though with a liquid, that's not true

I think the liquid is a red herring here. The important thing is a that there are two layers with different properties. Would work just as well with an inner highly conductive solid.
The alternative is that you believe !P⇒Q, in which case you could have easily just said Q
You are missing some techniques there. For example, to access any production user data where I work, I have to fill out a lease form and someone has to approve it. So you can technically have no one with admin access on their own without documentation and oversight.

> This makes me wish I posted a few years ago when I first started at a FAANG. I was fresh out of college and worked on an email product which was in an area I was interested but quickly learned how enterprise software is actually made.

A FAANG email product is not enterprise software. I suspect that what you've seen in your product was, compared to typical enterprise software, a pinnacle of human achievement. Get a job in a bank and you'll see.
No, you have misunderstood me. My point was that grandstanding posts from people who have recently left desirable positions should generally not be taken at face value. I was not arguing that his claims about Amazon's policies are questionable. This should be evident from my use of the language "well-known issues" in my original comment.
Sounds like my life story.
This doesn't change that I have to look for the on screen buttons and can't just reflexively change the volume while doing something else. Changing the volume or brightness or whatever now becomes a discete task that stops me doing what I was doing before. This * 10 over the course of a day adds up to lots of distractions ovet time.
> A deficient notice ... doesn’t get to use c.1.A as a fallback.

That is extremely good to know; I hadn’t spotted that provision while skimming through things. I still believe that this was a non-deficient notice, though. Shall we take a look at the required elements as they apply here?

(i) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

The MPA claims to be authorized to act on behalf of the listed movie studios. I see no reason to suspect this claim, and presume the redacted signaturesvare legitimate.

(ii) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.

Exhibit A (redacted) contains the titles and presumably other identifying information of movies owned by the studios represented by the MPA that are allegedly infringed by the Popcorn Time software.

(iii) Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material.

Two specifc GitHub repositories are specifically identified by URL, and further clarified by the statement “ Our request is specifically aimed at the aforementioned repositories and does not concern any other related repositories.” Though not required, they provide some justification as to why they believe these repositories infringe their copyrights in the listed movies.

(iv) Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted.

This is presumably contained in the redacted signature block at the bottom of the notice.

(v) A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law

“ We are providing this notice based on our good faith belief that the use of motion pictures and television programs owned by the MPA Member Studios in the manner occurring via the Project is not authorized by the copyright owners, their agents, or the law.”

(vi) A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

“The information in this notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, we are authorized to act on behalf of the MPA Member Studios, which own or control exclusive rights under copyright that are being infringed in the manner described herein.”

The number of inanimate objects that are not gendered must be pretty small. The sun is female (die Sonne), a street is female (die Straße), cars and houses are neutrum (das Haus, das Auto)
American Indians and Aboriginal Australians have been living like that well into historical times, and people were around to document their lives and societies - there's no real reason to suppose that humans at the most primitive state of society were living any differently. In a way, it's the one style of social organization that has truly stood the test of time; everything else has been a glorified self-imposed experiment. We're all guinea pigs living in self-enforced captivity.
Living in proximity to a subway line doesn't necessarily mean you spend more time on the subway than people who live further away, nor does it mean that you use the subway more. Subway commuters who can't afford to live close to a subway line probably live further from their workplaces, too, which would mean they spend more time on the subway and have more transfers between lines. Those people may then carry germs back to their neighborhoods.

The subway is a shared space with poor air quality and many hard surfaces that are touched by many people every hour.

The blog post you are "citing" tries to draw conclusions by zip code in a map that is not granular enough to support the claims. You yourself acknowledge this so I'm not sure why you use that blog post as evidence.

I'm not arguing for the existence of any specific deliberate conspiracy. So please don't misrepresent what I'm saying as conspiracy theory.

Still, there are multiple plausible ways in which these apps and systems can be compromised by malicious actors (from any nationality). The risks are significantly larger than they need to, to a large degree due to lack of transparency and verifiability, and significant trust elements.

These risks are not inherent in the design of the contact-tracing system or the specific companies themselves, but they are inherent in the way smartphone apps are typically developed and distributed to end-users on mainstream platforms today.

Then on top of that, past and ongoing incidents obliterates my personal confidence that large U.S. tech companies will live up to their promises.

The Death of Print Magazines: May I Propose a Vaccine Against This Epidemic?
In 2020, the world is fighting against the coronavirus pandemic, and many people share the same mind that it may be the end of the world as we know it. The virus has not merely infected humanity, but also many corporations and their employees. A lot of magazine and newspaper publishers are not immune either, as they have been suffering from the collapse of the advertising industry, not only since the coronavirus hit, but in fact, as noticed by many, since the invention of the internet. As the race to make a coronavirus vaccine is currently in progress, another race to find another vaccine against this other kind of epidemic is being proposed. https://www.klippingdb.com/
OP mentioned he's in a business owner role. He's probably talking to customers often, possibly scoping projects or features.

In these cases, having notes will prevent scope creep and will be necessary to have customers accept the work. Customers will forget what was discussed and what was agreed to. They will want to add that "one last thing" just when you're expecting to close the project.

Even in different roles (or internally), I think many would benefit from writing down meeting notes because it anchors the discussion and creates shared understanding. Voice only will cause many to forget specifics or move the goal.

I don't think OP is in favor of writing a book for every meeting. Having notes / documentation will make you more effective. It will also lower the frequency of you and the other party having different expectations. It's a good habit to have for these reasons and the many others outlined in this thread.
I always keep in mind this story from 101 Zen Tales:

Muddy Road

Tanzan and Ekido were once travelling together down a muddy road. A heavy rain was still falling.

Coming around a bend, they met a lovely girl in a silk kimono and sash, unable to cross the intersection.

"Come on, girl," said Tanzan at once. Lifting her in his arms, he carried her over the mud.

Ekido did not speak again until that night when they reached a lodging temple. Then he no longer could restrain himself. "We monks don't do near females," he told Tanzan, "especially not young and lovely ones. It is dangerous. Why did you do that?"

"I left the girl there," said Tanzan. "Are you still carrying her?"

Don't carry your work all the way to your temple!
That's true to an extent, but I think this time is different because the millenials have had to endure so much obvious hardships as a direct result of the baby boomers' incompetence (eg. student debt), and because millennials grew up with the internet and all the information that gives one access to. Politicians like Bernie and AOC are more in line with how millennial stand (my Boomer dad doesn't understand what they're so angry about), and if those policies were implemented, that'd be a massively different society than today.

But what is good code? What is bad code? I know what is slow code and what is fast, but not always fast is good and slow bad. So basically, good/bad code is mainly around maintainability. And if you are the only person that maintains it and can maintain it then you only need the code to be 'as good' as your ability to retain the memory of it's structure.
