Hell no, lock that down hard
Undecipherable signals in strange places present an interesting challenge that the ham radio community does rise to explore. During the cold war ham radio operators spent years analyzing and characterizing over the horizon radar systems (The Woodpecker) and other strange signals like numbers stations.

Its especially common these days with the advent of software defined radio, spectral displays and large amounts of storage for operators to come across a strange transmission and record it for further analysis, often posting in forums and sending the recordings to other people for them to try and analyze it.

And some times those recordings are sent to the FCC and the FCC sends out strongly worded letters.

If it really gets bad, the FCC will act and IIRC they average about 20~50 or so fines a year.

What a ridiculous language C++ is.
Honestly not really, because I’m so disconnected from the first generation that I could project that out to 3-4 generations after me and realize — who am I building this for, who even _is_ that person? Maybe they’re awesome and they use it for good, maybe they don’t. It’s capricious, almost like how taking all of that money in taxes would be capricious.

It’s a fun thought exercise I guess but I wouldn’t greenfields a system like that.

Squatting + Vandalism != peaceful protest

If a group of people peacefully protest on my lawn, they are not Constitutionally protected to do so, no matter how "peaceful" their assembly. If I call the cops to forcefully remove them from my property, I would be acting within the bounds of the law.

If a group of people spray-paints my business, and I call on the police to reprimand them, that is again within the confines of the law.

The President tweeting about doing the same is a simple extension of this. You may disagree with the law in question (as is your right), but it's a bit silly to suggest that tweeting about enforcement of the law (no matter how unjust you think it is), should be considered beyond the pale on a global platform.
Completely accurate. The ads were even touted as somewhat of a feature. Something along the lines of "Gmail has ads, just like the other services, but our ads will be relevant to your interests."
Its amazing every time I come across one of these people on youtube that believe they are being gang stalked or e harassed. Even though I am pretty sure they are not being stalked to them it IS real. That must be a terrible existence. If I were to try to convince them otherwise they would assume I am in on it.
That sounds like an interesting idea, I assume the move from (1) to (2) involve decrease in salary/prestige and that's also something to consider.
How much of a percentage of revenue is that subscription model vs ads, and how does that hold up to the historical split?
A personal anecdote deffo is though.
>>> Ah, yes - because of course we want people to spend all their money before they die instead of investing long-term for their children.

>> I can't think of another mechanism from preventing a permanent aristocratic class from passive investment

> I can! Spendthrift children.

Well, in that case, it's all gonna be spent instead of invested anyways, so GGP's argument is moot and we might as well just tax it instead of having employees of public sector companies subsidize the layabout.

Identifying and understanding the core problem from the user might seem trivial for an experienced entrepreneur(who might have got burned couple of times earlier for not doing that).

But, you'd be surprised how common it is for a first time entrepreneur to not care for the problem, but to build something just because 'they can' and later find out that nobody wants it. PG has written an excellent essay on the same[1].

I've been thinking a lot about 'solving the problem of not identifying the core problem' in my work as a startup coach, which lead me to the creation of needgap[2] - A problem validation platform. Of course, creating another platform is not going to magically solve anything; my personal goal with the platform is to understand the 'language of the problems' to differentiate it with the 'ideas'.

So far, I've understood from the platform that - Identifying the core problem, is much harder than coming up with a solution aka the startup idea.

There's no need to rewrite a system that works and that you're not gonna change. While programming languages go out of fashion there will always be people who are capable of writing them. The median age of a cobol programmer has not changed in 20 years because more people keep learning the language.

Demand in this case, will likely create its own supply.
Chrome OS has an entire Linux VM integrated natively on your machine.
Pixel phones get 3 years of full OS updates, not 2.

The difference comes out to be negligible 666JPY/year. And Samsung phones get even cheaper after launch, couple that with their 4 years of security updates their cost/year is substantially lower than Pixel or iPhone.
OLEDs also cost about $100-$150 more than IPS even now.
You're right that you don't need CRISPR for genome engineering of S. cerevisiae (baker's yeast) or E. coli.

However, having worked with both prokaryotes and eukaryotes it definitely makes life easier. During my PhD (about metabolic engineering of S. cerevisiae) CRISPR started to get traction. Before I could incorporate one change at a time. Using CRISPR/Cas9 I could do up to 6 (at different places). That's a big deal!

I also PoC'ed CRISPR in a bacterium (C. glutamicum). Also there it opened up new avenues.

He wants to change young people's mindsets and make them become open-minded and have a different view of technology and the opportunities it contains.
> Whenever my mother-in-law provides childcare, the government should tax me for the money I would have spent on daycare.

Rich people tend to have mothers-in-law who are well off and don't need to work for money, so have time for unpaid childcare and other care work. Poor people tend to have mothers-in-law who are less well off, need to work for money, and don't have as much time for unpaid care work. Poor people might therefore have to spend money on childcare that richer people get for free. This is one of the ways in which wealth begets wealth, and an example for how expensive it can be to be poor. This is an important societal issue, and it is good of you to call attention to it.

Child care should be free (as in, financed by progressive taxes) everywhere, for everyone. The government should absolutely tax those who have more disposable income more than those who have less. It's simpler and more economically efficient (you are in favor of economic efficiency, I can tell) to do this based on general income and wealth levels than by sending inspectors everywhere to determine whether they "would" have spent money on daycare.
I had a guest lecture from a couple of researchers working on bioproduction that mentioned crispr let them speed up their design process for new e coli strains, but yeah in general it's not too difficult to hack together a pathway with a Gibson (unless you want to do more than 5 parts in the assembly which gets finicky). Or a golden gate if you can get the sequences for the overhangs right. But I will say I've worked in a lab with at least one person who wasnt able to perform a relatively simple gibson somehow, so the principle that the universe will always find a greater fool still applies

The idea of 'right wing ideology' doesn't mean anything, it's actually just mostly pseudo-intellectual nonsense created by the academic left.

Consider that the right are supposedly in favour of free markets and small government but also supposedly in favour of strong submission to authority? These positions are incompatible.

In reality most historical movements labelled as "right wing" were left wing, yes, that means fascism and Nazi-ism too. The latter of course even had "socialist" in the title yet decades of the academic left insisting that against all common sense and obvious observations, Nazis were actually right wing, has left the world hopelessly confused about this so-called spectrum. You can't be both supportive of a dictatorship and state-controlled industry, and a believer in small government, free speech and free markets.
> actual planting, growing and harvesting of crops isn't the thing that they are trying to innovate on.

There are enormous problems there, such as a heavy reliance on human labour for picking and processing.

The problem with going after waste reduction is that the tab for that is picked up through subsidies. The inefficiency is in policy.
And since you mentioned "perspective" - I find walking or cycling both provide much more perspective than a car: the distance covered is earned. A car is just a comfortable teleportation device.

Well, there's a difference between passive and active investment...
I'm curious to see how many of my friends will stop using Google Translate on their phones and just go with Apple's new translation app coming in iOS 14.

It probably will be like Maps where the first year or two were just a joke and then  Maps became faster, easier to use, and just as good as Google Maps.
You seem like the right person to ask about this.

My sense was that hydroponics were so expensive that they really only made sense for one crop: marijuana. If your plant is selling for $1000, then spending $50 per plant to increase its yield and 'baby' it so that it sells for $1200 makes sense. But for most plants, it doesn't make economic sense. (Tomatoes, maybe. But they're going to have to sell for a higher price point, in more expensive markets).

Is that accurate? I'm an amateur so if this is uninformed, feel free to correct me.

But for those who have children, isn't this the whole point? i.e. ensuring your children have a better life than you did yourself.

In that view, surely passing on an inheritance is a good thing.

Obviously, passing on $5bn to your kids is different than leaving them a $800k house mortgage free.
Sounds like bullshit. Doesn't most of CO2 (in aluminum production) come from all the production of electricity that you need to smelt?

Thanks. I’m not exactly tilting at windmills. I’m part of a much larger organization.

I’m also tough as nails. I’ve been doing this for nearly 40 years.

I have, in the aggregate, made significant inroads, but there’s plenty more needs doing, and one of my more important capabilities, is the ability to step aside, and let the next generation take the reins.

I am now actually looking at doing training of software developers. It’s a different venue, but I also have a great deal of experience in that arena.
Can't companies already be compelled to push updates to select devices adding a decrypted sidechannel to "e2e encrypted" apps, effectively providing a wiretap when a warrant is in hand?

There's no need to weaken the encryption at all when end-users don't actually control the software they run day-to-day. Just replace the software while they're asleep.
Really interesting, thanks for posting.
It's not only 'first' but also immutable as a way of life.

You walk structures to extract information and derive a new structure. With immutable types and automated constructors this becomes regular enough to be baked in the language. Other languages like memory mutation so the main action is setting a variable to modify it.
I think you might be underestimating the fact that your marketing copy is a good proxy for your product commitment in the long run. I am having difficulties adding you to the short list of "platforms to be considered when starting out a new project" mainly for this reason alone..

Best of luck though, i just wanted to give honest feedback
>"a prize for anyone who can come up with a way to access encrypted data while protecting privacy and security."

A prize for a cake that can be eaten but will never be consumed.
I was not commenting on the tax issue, simply providing a personal account of what that parent post described about cyclic wealth across generations. Certainly my parents have been exceptional at money management and provided stability and support for their children so they could have opportunity and find their own prosperity.

They told us kids not to expect money, they will spend it or donate it before the govt gets it.

This post is a summary of how I feel about a lot of google products as well. Especially email, yes google has amazing AI to figure out spam but the UX of gmail just feels like I'm still in 2012 or 2015 with email. I've been using Hey for about a week as well and wow, checking and responding to email feels less of a burden and having the Feed, Paper Trail, and Imbox is actually a good way to separate types of emails sent nowadays.
Given the amount of work going into custom DIY mechanical keyboards, it's surprising that there aren't DIY solutions out there. All you need is a $5 MCU (think ESP32) and a cheap display. Would make a fun side project :)
If you check out the official specs[1] scroll down to "5 The text/gemini media type", and especially "5.4 Core line types".

Summary: you write plain text. Use linefeeds to separate paragraphs, not lines of text ("Multiple consecutive lines which are shorter than the client's display device MUST NOT be combined into fewer, longer lines.").

Links go on lines by themselves, like:

=>[<whitespace>]<URL>[<whitespace><USER-FRIENDLY LINK NAME>]

Wrap preformatted blocks in "```", like in Markdown.

Mark headers with "#", "##", or "###", like in Markdown.

Write lists like "* item", like in Markdown.

Write quotes on lines starting with ">", like in Markdown.

There, that's 99% of the Gemini format spec.

Serious question (about practicality, not ethics): people always say that it's impossible to provide government access to encrypted data without opening a huge security hole for hackers to exploit. Why couldn't an encryption scheme be used that, for decryption, requires either a) the user's private key (a usual), or b) some sort of combination of private keys of all the relevant government entities required to authorize accessing the user's data? So that something like the combination of a judicial private key and an fbi private key were required to access the data?

Of course the data would still be hackable if a bad actor were to get their hands on both of those keys, but security could be increased by, for example, increasing the number of parties needed to authorize the access.

(Please don't critique the ethical premise here - I make no claim that this is the "right" thing to do, just that it could be plausible)
Most of Perl's virtues were inherited by Ruby, not Python. Hell, Python doesn't even have a regex operator.
That's kind of a skepticism conundrum. If media can't be trusted about media...

I mean, I agree with you. They're vested. Even if it wasn't financial, journalists must have an insider's set of opinions about good & evil in the media industry.
Don't lie. They left. Read about Gerard Depardieu and many other rich people who left the country.
Let me just break down a slice of your thesis.

> Are there maximum safe doses established for these ingredients?

Yes, there are, like for every material. It's the LD50, and it's in the MSDS. For instance, Aluminum Hydroxide [1]. The LD50 is 2000mg/kg, so you'd have to practically eat your weight in it. Paraffin Oil is here [2], and the LD50 is 5000mg/kg.

Do you really think people are YOLO-ing adjuvants?

> Are doses beyond the safe dose linked to any autoimmune conditions?

You're asking people to prove a negative, which is why you're coming off the way you are. I suggest you find some reason why we should be looking for this, which you should be able to figure out by simply looking at immunized vs non-immunized populations and correlating with publicly available data on disease. Not sure where or if the US publishes this, but Canada has open access to all this on the Stats Canada website.

> What percentage of the maximum safe dose is typically present in a given vaccine?

Less than the LD50, naturally. Jokes aside, that's something you can easily find out.

Mega Nazis, if they should come to exist, are going to seek to hunt people down whether or not anti-Nazis have done so first.

If you are concerned about Mega Nazis, hoping you can convince them to be tolerant Mega Nazis by the example of tolerant anti-Nazis is...not likely to be an effective approach.
I would like to build on top of your point:

- Indoor farming would not have to worry about things like drought. As a water feeding system can be led all the way to the ocean and the salt removed using pure sunlight as power.

- Indoor farming has shown to yield crops with 96% less water in many cases, again solving the problem mentioned previously.

- Many areas don't have ready access to tons of water so these water conservation techniques will be absolutely necessary.

- The lack of need for pesticides and weed killers and other poisons will also have major advantages.

- The indoor operation can be significantly less emitting in terms of greenhouse gasses. Without the need for large gas powered machines for harvesting, these crops can be way more efficient.

- The indoor operations can be built vertically thus allowing cities to feed themselves without having to ship food across the globe, further providing exhaust benefits.

"In this case, however, according to the Detroit police report, investigators simply included Mr. Williams’s picture in a “6-pack photo lineup” they created and showed to Ms. Johnston, Shinola’s loss-prevention contractor, and she identified him. (Ms. Johnston declined to comment.)"
