I remember reading years ago about how 2020 was going to be a very significant year of economic havoc and social upheaval.

There were studies from MIT and others that made these predictions based on different models at least 5 years ago. I remember one interesting study that used some kind of model based on predators hunting prey. I think it may have been wolves. Anyway, for the life of me I have searched high and low and just can't find any of them on the Internet anymore. It's like they all disappeared. I have tried to find them because they also spoke of how long this period may last and it would be interesting to see what they said (sadly I have forgotten.

The search will continue.....

Not sure I understand the question.

I have to manage a domain and have a basic understanding of how DNS works, that is unavoidable.

DNS is a bit complicated to describe in short reply but on a very high level: say I register a domain example.com. Registrars usually give you an interface to manage DNS where you can set A records (association with IP), you basically put there 2-5 IP addresses of the DNS servers serving your domain. You can also setup MX records that are used to resolve mail servers for your domain. Setting up fastmail is simple: you tell them that you want them to serve mail for example.com and setup couple of MX records pointing to the Fastmail servers (they give you the full host names).

I'm with you on the dangers of all these things, but I'm going to disagree that they're civilization reset events - although they could spark one.

A massive global famine could kill a billion humans or more. But if the 1 in 10 of us (likely the poorest, most vulnerable people) died, would civilization end? I don't think so.

However, if that leads to all out nuclear war, then we have two enormous correlated shocks to the system. Maybe even that wouldn't be enough, but some number of such shocks could push us over the brink.

Just like an economic meltdown or a plane crash, it's never one thing that goes wrong, it's a sequence of failures.
This is the future we were/are looking to build with https://ayvri.com, but you have to start with a compelling use case first. It's great to be able to create a this incredibly cool tech, but what will people do with it? If you look at Google Earth, it's amazing, it's cool, but so many years in, there still is barely a use-case for the amount of $$ pumped into it.

We're fortunate to be profitable, and have users that love what we do today, but it's a long long road to get to where we want to be.

The vision as I was explaining it in my last funding round was to imagine a world where every photo or video you took had infinite zoom and rotation of every photo or video you took.

Mostly that vision resulted in a ton of push-back on how it will never be possible, which is BS based on the progress of computer vision and AI in computer graphics, or "so what".
I believe the OP is using "market share" as porportion of revenue" of the marketplace and not actual number of users.

I'm highly skeptical that iOS is greater than 50% of the US market based on the endless web analytics I've looked at through my career (and that >50% goes back a number of years in their stats).

I find that if the auto formatter isn't dealing well with a section of code, it's usually an indication that the code architecture is off. Too clever, too verbose, too much nesting, trying too hard to make one-liners, etc.

There's a beauty that comes from simplicity, and code for matters, at least for me, are good of reminding me of that.
Apple has the right to do whatever they want, until the courts come in and remove their rights as a private business. I don't like what Apple has been doing here, but it's their right. If you believe that the government should restrict the rights of private companies, then where does that end? This isn't regulating pollution, or regulating travel, etc. This would be regulating a business's right to charge what they want for a service whose absence will not truly harm anyone.

Now if DHH and others were arguing that Apple should reduce the price gouging from 30% to 20% or whatever they deem is reasonable, I would be completely supportive of that argument and supportive of making Apple look bad until they cave (but right now all the rhetoric I'm seeing is "Gee Apple sure is a terrible person for not giving us free stuff"). But Apple does have to pay money to host the app, provide bandwidth for downloading the app, and manage subscriptions similarly. It isn't a _lot_ of overhead, but it does exist. Plus Apple has spent years building the ecosystem, creating demand, etc. I think 10-15% is very fair, and I can see them going to 20% so that they're still making a lot of money but it maybe isn't price gouging.

Can anyone point me to high-view conversations around reducing the percentage to something reasonable? Again all I'm seeing is, "Apple is terrible, it should be free".
I would say: start by doing pure HTML, then progressively work with PHP to include header.php/footer.php on every page. Then create helper functions for a few things you don't wanna repeat.

You'll be surprised by how good it feels to know your website from A to Z.

This is what I do for my own site: https://www.juliendesrosiers.com/ .
Almost every URL ends with an old-school .php for that very reason lol. But I like the fact that every time i want to modify something, I simply SSH into my dreamhost account and use vim to edit posts and pages. But om your case it could be https://www.panic.com/coda/ .

And if starting from nothing seem scary, you can always start with a basic themeforest theme, or a framework like Bootstrap. Having the html-css already done goes a long way.
I think this is the most acceptable solution for everyone involved.

The people not living in big cities certainly do not seem to want big city techies and their politics migrating there, and it'll be easier for them to start their diverse eateries and bespoke coffee roasters from the ground up in their segregated city.

We introduce rational number as native Go+ types. We use -r suffix as a rational constant. For example, (1r << 200) means a big int whose value is equal to 2200. And 4/5r means the rational constant 4/5.

Nice! Coming from Python, I miss being able to use the normal arithmetic operators on bigints in Go.
I hope you’re right.
I run fathom self hosted. I don’t love it and am looking for an alternative. But this is because they don’t update the self hosted version.

I get it that I’m asking for a free service, I just kind of wish they never offered it if they were going to ditch it. I don’t make money off my sites. I wish they had a less than X income version to self host. Oh well.

If you are making money and willing to pay I have a feeling Fathom is great.

In the end the sandbox is there to provide some limited security even in presence of other vulnerabilities.

So I would say it's a security critical bug a sandbox escape and a building blog for an exploit but not a exploit by itself.

Anyway it's sill a security vulnerability.
I’m okay with Apple forcing apps to support in app purchases or Apple Pay or whatever — the fee is the really gross part. If it were nominal it would be more reasonable.
I love the idea of main-less Go scripts for times where you just want to do something simple, fast.

Neugram [1] aimed to make Go a better scripting tool, but unfortunately it seems the project is dead. Although Go+ says its focus is on data science, I think it could fill this niche too.

By the way: does Go+ have shebang support?

You might be right, though if so that would also imply they thought it was great before it was fixed, and I still disagree with that.
The real problem is that success or failure, the real damage is poisoning 1/6 of the world's population against you for a generation or more. What kind of world will that be? If every Chinese kid is taught from birth the U.S. is hellbent on keeping them in second place (which is exactly what looks like now, regardless of what previous administrations thought or how much CCP spin is put on it - the propaganda writes itself these days).

This is exactly the narrative that is held in the mind of every Chinese about the Opium War and the downfall of the late Qing and the Japanese. These things have long historical memories and human grudges really can span generations and generations (look at Hungry for instance).

From there it's very slippery slope to a race war, i.e. Chinese vs Anglos, I can easily imagine confiscating ethnic Chinese property in the U.S. and putting them internment camps in the next twenty years and attacks against the "whites" in China.

Ultimately this is about how to co-exist and share resources on this planet so we can solve problems on the planetary scale. Otherwise we will just become one of those species in this universe that failed to launch because they destroyed themselves on their own planet before inventing starflight.
You can use HTTPS with a VPN. With HSTS and certificate transparency, a modern browser will not let you get compromised by a HTTPS MITM.

I also trust many VPN providers more than my ISP, which actively engages in MITM like compressing images to be a lower resolution on HTTP pages on 4G networks.

It's funny that you list docker and wayland as linux bloat that freebsd doesn't have, when docker works just fine on freebsd and wayland support is also in the works.

Personally I use Ubuntu as a daily driver. No docker unless you install it and comes with Xorg (as well as wayland, but you're not forced to use it).
> I love the API for the materials project!

Ah, so happy it's useful to you!

We're working on a new API internally too (based on FastAPI) that will hopefully bring better documentation along with it, so stay tuned for improvements.

> On the experimental side, how does it compare to ICSD?

We have pretty good coverage of ICSD and other experimental databases, and we continue to process and calculate new materials as they're discovered. We also calculate ordered approximations of disordered structures too, but this is an area where we could improve.

We also provide a capability where users can upload crystal structures we don't have and we calculate those too (with credit going to the original uploader).

Widely known and used in Eastern Asia side. You need to have friends in medical fields from that region to know. The western side is basically disinformation itself because of democratic-republican tussle during current year election agenda. Western countries mortality are significant higher in those countries choosing to not use it. I suggest you contact any of your friends working in medical fields working in Eastern Asian side to know a clearer picture.
I started a project similar to the fictional "skip instructions that cause segmentation violations" for SIGILL (illegal instruction) which tried to implement SSE3 replacements on hosts without SSE3. It had two modes: replace the illegal instruction in memory, or handle it in the signal handler:

Something is seriously wrong if a single right turn lane took 3 million dollars. I'm in disbelief at that figure.

Funny because you poach the Google engineer, and probably they are hamstrung because the startup doesn't have Google's infrastructure. E.g. you are stuck with Kubernetes, not whatever Google now uses. I could understand maybe Microsoft poaching for the long term brain dump value.

I know YouTube premium just charges a 30% up charge if you sign up via IAP in iOS.

I’m not sure if this is in violation of the rules or not.

It is convenient as a user to be able to manage subscriptions via iOS which makes it easy to track and cancel, but 30% seems way too high for this?

Forcing IAP while taking a 30% cut seems like rent seeking when [edit: you control the only place users can get apps on your platform]. Extra problematic in the Spotify case where you compete directly and undercut them.

I’d prefer a forced IAP requirement where Apple didn’t take a cut (or they just charged some up front fee or something).

What kind of stuff are you building and is it the job of the person paying you to actually use the thing?
I wrap it in shell scripts or batch files.
Thats what im talking about. If you add text to a line, and it goes over a length, it will reformat a jsx element into about 5 lines instead of 1. Similarly, when you add more than it needs because you want consistency, or know youll add more, and the formatter runs, often it undoes your work.
> Also, if, for example, you do your payments or other sensitive pages in a SPA, you're still running 3rd party scripts on those pages for no reason. Let me know when unloading scripts(&their in mem code) is doable.

Are you legitimately worried about unloading third party libraries into memory on the browser??

No one going to any store in LA is able to park in front of it. Even if there were a street parking spot at that artery, it will probably be occupied by someone not going to that restaurant or store. Plus the sidewalks don't close when the city does this sort of work, and there are ample parking garages in every neighborhood with a commercial corridor that remain open. I saw a figure that said LA had 3x as many parking spaces as cars.

Thank you this has been very consoling to read as someone who tried and failed many times with this book when I was young. I thought I was just not smart but now realize most people on the internet who get this stuff are not brilliant autodidacts, they are just educated adults. Even reading a datasheet which is so critical was out of my reach (or patience) without the math and vocab.

Well the bookshelf analogy isn't perfect either because a bookshelf serves no purpose without books while most normal people just use the built-in apps plus a couple more.

Also book authors would be really excited about paying only 30% to have a shelf maker distribute their book because they currently pay about 90% to the publisher and retail outlet.

Yes I am saying "well feel free to not make a mobile app" and I don't think that's a ridiculous position and I'll explain why.

For a start neither Apple nor Google had to allow 3rd party apps, and actually neither developers nor government would have been able to force them to do so. However they created massive industry and that's benefited them as well as developers and users. The two are in heavy and healthy competition with each other. If they colluded to keep the cut at 30% I would agree that some government action is warranted.

The other thing is if you look back in fairly recent history you see that software developers have a pretty bad track record in terms of respecting their users. People regularly had to reinstall their operating systems to rid it of malware and crapware that was really difficult to get rid of. This situation would clearly be intolerable on phones hence all of the restrictions and app reviews.

Apple and Google also bring customers to the developers. They are providing a lot of value for developers, if the 30% was that bad then 3rd party apps on phones would have never become a thing because developers would have never made the choice to develop for them. So clearly it was a good value proposition before the market for apps exploded so it should be an even better one now.

I think your underestimating the value that Google and Apple are bringing here. They've created a marketplace where customers are really comfortable with trying free apps and buying apps and subscriptions to apps. Cancelations are simple. You've got one-click purchasing which makes it really easy to impulse buy. No one has to give their card details to random companies all over the world. Refunds are easy. It's also really easy to delete apps. Users haven't got to worry that the next update of a trendy photo app is going to install some toolbar into their web browser. All of this creates more sales of apps. I don't think it's unreasonable to take 30% of sales in exchange for this.

Finally it's not like developers can't make web apps that are compatible with smartphones. You can even save the web app as an app icon. Okay so maybe push notifications don't work but so what. The issue is that some developers seem to want it both ways. They want the benefits of the marketplace but they expect Apple/Google to provide all of that for free. It's a sense of self-entitlement I think.

Anyway thanks for the conversation I should probably go sleep now. Also I'm kind of tired of defending two of the largest companies in the world. It's not really me.
Not quite the same, but I'm reminded of the short lived show "Salvage 1", starring Andy Griffith [1]

I dont think people want to hear that there are still problems with autoformatting text.

Anyway, my point still stands, drop rules about line length and rules that care about inter line break positions and most of these problems go away.

Very Well Researched and written.Your analysis points out the outcome pitfalls that IB and other educational institutions should consider and correct for.

Here are some of the additional views to consider, based on my sense of data flow thru your model:

- the fact that your model can predict gender, race and socioeconomic status from the historical grades is rightly pointing out that today grades are indeed strongly (and very unfortunately) correlated with these extra-curricular environmental variables. This is a well established fact and many social programs have been designed in an effort to flatten this bias.

- so unless the model takes its own predictions and loops it back as X variables, it should not reinforce the bias. The model accurately predicts along the pattern of social bias that is Actually present today.

- If we are bold enough we can decide thru this model to introduce counter biases (feedback loop) against these factors so that we level the playing field and truly measure the raw intellect and not the Environmentally conditioned intellect - but that is debate for another time!

All in all a great research and write up - wake up call to folks who Blindly assume predictions for truth! I will wait for your next part - “how do we correct for these biases”!
