I agree all that about jvm. It had considerable impact on industry and it is nice piece of software.

But you missed my point entirely. I did not call JVM a steam engine in derogatory way. On the contrary, steam engine is awesome piece of technology which had tremendous impact on industry.

But JVM has issues which recent runtimes have learnt and solved in different ways.

There is absolutely nothing incorrect about this post. And what's worse, while the media (and left leaning doctors) were amplifying papers like the OP, they ignored the positive studies and set back the entire pandemic effort by turning public opinion against a promising drug.

It is a dereliction of social duty for the media to act in such a dangerously partisan manner. They owe society better for the power that they are allowed to wield.

I will also point out that estates benefit from step-up basis which avoids Capital Gains taxes on unrealized gains, which is hugely beneficial to most estates. This way of taxing is meant as a compromise to allow fairly large estates to pass tax exempt --currently up to $11MM if held by a single person, $22MM for a married couple-- while applying taxes to estates that all but guarantee that you could retire instantly collecting an income that puts you in the top 1% of household earnings in the US with highly favorable capital gains tax treatment. Also, the IRS will work with anyone that has a large illiquid estate and allow taxes to be paid over a decade after an initial grace period, with an appropriate interest rate.

Bingo. I served for the financial incentives (though I enlisted from a misguided sense of patriotism immediately after 9/11). My father, my brother, aunts and uncles, and even cousins who served; All of us from small rural towns in the midwest. I needed to obtain the means to pursue higher education and this was my path. What you so succinctly said here is completely spot on.
It's a feature not a bug. Things that were figured out in the 30's (such as Keynes) were actively fought against by people who didn't like the policy those economic conclusions led to. Mainly because those policies interfered with their plans to gobble everything up.

Entire erroneous economic theories were concocted to wage their war.

Are startups that have collected data on 50% (or even 10%) of the US population still small enough that complying would be burdensome?

Agree. On science taking its time, one thing that baffles me is that in the US and the UK, HCQ trials are only starting, as we reach the tail of this pandemic. Would someone know what is the rationale for waiting so long?

I also love the fact that I can still run an unmodified Windows app that I wrote back in 1996. Try doing that on any other platform!

I was, however, probably the scraggliest customer in the showroom when I bought it.

UK is a unique situation as well as because of Brexit.

It's looking certain that they are going to crash out of the EU single market without an agreement and without replacement trade agreements in place with other countries.

Now recently China punished Australia by cutting trade as a result of Australia pushing for the COVID-19 investigation. Which given how sensitive they about Huawei and their need to teach the world a lesson gives an indication of how severe their response is likely to be.

UK can hardly afford to impact trading relationships with their number 2, 3, 4 and 5 partners all at the same time as they are dealing with a pretty incompetent COVID-19 response.

Do you not believe that the federal government has a role to play in helping solve significant state level issues?

I mean - I’m pro-cop. I have police officers in my family, and I wish the solutions were as straightforward as you seem to believe everything they are; however, the fact that we have the same reoccurring concerns - year after year, decade after decade - strongly suggests that this is not easy or straightforward.
But on average a few percent of people will be unemployed at the moment the survey week is conducted. And that is what the unemployment rate is measuring.
Normally, I'm a fan of doing the math...

Subtract the population that supports the current police's actions. And the (large majority, I'd guess) that don't care. And the ones that can't physically get involved or won't. Then add a force multiplier for superior training, tactics, organization, and equipment.

The result is not a pretty calculation.
Why in the world would the NSA care about a street fight?

I have the opposite opinion: it is trivial and inexpensive to create and store an indexed archive of text from speech in audio, and to run image recognition models on video and pictures. There's value in having that data archived, so that they can go back and go through it should whoever created the data become a target in the future.

However, I doubt the NSA would waste resources investigating a street fight, but I'm pretty sure the video would be mined of any valuable data that could be gleaned from it.

I don't think that any of the surveillance powers that the state is demanding with respect to electronics actually map that neatly to what was possible before electronics emerged. We're talking about conversations rather than physical effects, and it's not like you could obtain a warrant to retroactively obtain the contents of a conversation a marijuana dealer had with his client yesterday: once the vibrations were gone from the air, that data has been erased irretrievably. To listen in on the conversation you actually had to go there, which naturally forces you to be judicious with your surveillance powers by virtue of limited resources, whereas the electronic version scales indefinitely. On the other hand, as long as the people who are of interest to law enforcement still exist in meatspace themselves, everything that used to be possible is still possible: just as you could obtain a warrant to bug someone's room to listen in on a conversation, you can obtain a warrant to bug someone's room to observe their phone (or bug the phone itself, with physical access! Maybe that would be one rationale to finally force Apple to make its phones "repairable" by individuals :)).
>Why do we only care about public safety in one circumstance but not the other?

Outside of armchair theorists online, I'm not convinced anyone in charge of car design actually cares about car safety at all.

Car accidents are the leading cause of death for people age 15-29 and the second leading cause of death for people age 5-14. Nearly 3,300 people die every day in car accidents, and double that number are permanently disabled.

If people actually cared about car safety, it feels like these numbers would have gone down in the last 30 years. They haven't. [1]

I see this analogy quite often, but I think it isn't very useful. Horses didn't have agency - horses weren't able to apply for other work, couldn't retrain themselves, weren't able to move to somewhere where they might be employed, etc. Saying workers are like horses and are helpless to do anything to help themselves isn't accurate.

This isn't to say that all (or even most) workers will be able to adapt to losing their job to automation or what can/should be done to help them.

Aha! I'm a huge fan of positional voice audio in video games. Mumble has a positional audio feature[0] that is relatively straightforward to integrate via mods. I built a mod[1] recently that adds support to Raft, and I attempted to list some of the benefits in the readme. In my experience, it completely changes the feeling of talking with people online; they become their avatars. I'd love to see it come to discord or zoom, and be lifted out of the video game space.

I haven't looked at Mumble's actual implementation, but I imagine it's possible with the web audio APIs.

It seems to me that your map is far too detailed to use practically. You spell out every algebraic step, including stuff as simple as "divide both sides by T", so that deriving f = 1/T from T = 1/f takes about 10 nodes. This is like building a model train to a larger scale than an actual train -- what is the use?

Education research tells us that what you actually want to do is the exact opposite: chunk as much as possible. You should learn algebra separately, and then use your preexisting knowledge of algebra to group f = 1/T and T = 1/f into one conceptual node. If you need 10 nodes every time something that basic is done, then your map will contain a vast amount of redundancy and be too large to use to get anywhere...

But I keep hearing that the definition of good science is "peer reviewed" science. So you are right that it is not the peer review that makes the science, but what about the science us laypeople can rely on? How else can we tell a serious claim from a fantasist one?
Those are loaded terms. When you conspire to conflate protesters and looters as the latter, then it doesn't make a difference.
I disagree, this will save us from situations like Brexit, because if referendum is not an expensive and slow process, you can hold it multiple times, until the vote stabilizes, you can require significant difference for decisions changing status quo, and most importantly you won't have to vote on a huge number of issues as one thing, people would be able to vote on small issues they care about, and use vote trading as described in the link to find a better compromise.

Now it is easy to spend lots of money to mislead many people right before the big and expensive referendum, but if a new referendum can happen any day, spending lots of money on campaigns would become unviable.

I think that the greatest barrier to the adoption of OSS in administrative circles are pivot tables. Once there's a strong open-sourced alternative in this matter, or administrative folks learn to use databases, then the transition will be much easier - we are almost there because many services are web-centric and platform-agnostic already.

I agree, and the voice control implementations I've seen leave a lot to be desired. But they do work without taking your eyes off the road, or hands off the steering wheel.

I think the most common commands can all be mapped to buttons on the steering wheel, which similarly is as close to possible as "negligible reduced driving capacity to use" without the tediousness of voice control.

But I do think the theoretical safety benefits of physical buttons that are not on the steering wheel as compared to touchscreens for features beyond the ones commonly used while driving are probably overstated.

This is well known issue since Ken Thompson’s trusting trust paper and not what am I getting at it

It is degrees of trust . Trust is not absolute , neither is security . Depending on your threat models you have to secure yourself. More transparency improves security does not solve all the problems just makes it costlier for an attacker . If cost outweighs the benefit they will not attempt to do it.

Https does not magically make your communication 100% secure ,however the number of people who can issue a certificate from a comprised root CA or control one is considerably less than the number of people who can monitor your plain text traffic .
Well, there are definite benefits to being in full control of profile segmentation.
You have no idea what the extension is doing unless you audit it. And even then, there are second-order effects that could surprise you [1]. Plus, the extension writer has to maximally cover the set of possibilities where a site can store/retrieve data. These are a lot of unknowns you're trusting and assumptions you're making.

It's far simpler to treat the profile directory as contaminated waste and nuke it at will.
The only assumption you're making is that the browser implements a profile in a given directory properly.
