What I can recommend is invidious as an alternative frontend to the official youtube website. It is free software and can be self -hosted but there are also many public instances readily available (e.g. invidio.us). There are even instances for I2P and Tor users.
A similar thing called nitter also exists as a substitute for twitter.

There are browser add ons and apps available which automatically redirect youtube and twitter links to invidious and nitter!

Safe probably yes. Economically competitive is much harder.
> The United States does actually have government health care programs for low income and disable people (Medicaid, covers approximately 23% of the US population) and for elderly (Medicare, covers people 65 and over).

That's wrong.

Medicaid covers the poor, Medicare covers the aged, blind, and disabled. (You can be both and be covered by both—and by either or both plus private insurance in some cases—which is a contribution to high healthcare administrative costs because of coordination of benefits.)

You don't need to use indexes like that in Go. You would append to the new array.

The thing is that in practice such loops usually goes beyond just filtering on a boolean basis, so you combine whatever you want to do with that array in a single full iteration.

Quite ironically, these days you can get audio processing plugins for DAWs (digital audio workstations), which lower the quality of your audio to emulate the lower audio quality of cassette tapes.
Very similar Brian Eno's Bloom app in both design and sound. Except the GitHub data backend.

Some of my most productive work was done while listening to that app (and a lot of Brian Eno's ambient output).

There's an interview where he talks about how Bloom will never repeat in our lifetimes (or Reflections, one of the two). He wanted to achieve that with music for airports 1, but was limited by available technology.
Definitely. Python is hugely popular now.
I think that’s an unfair assessment. It’s difficult for anyone to fundamentally challenge their thought processes with the near absence of facts.

When you consider that the flood myth is almost a universal story across cultures, and that human population was dramatically smaller, and left behind little, it’s difficult to Have a position on pre-history.

I recall taking classes on this era in college, and the professor spending time talking about what we don’t know — which highlighted the importance of small details of ancient cultures that allow us to infer knowledge.

In the last 30-40 years more discoveries have been made that challenge even our understanding of Ancient Greece, we’re learning and eventually people will reach consensus about new discoveries.
Drunk driving had to be banned because it's just too dangerous. It had to be eradicated at all costs even despite many people violating this law. On the other hand there's no indication that texting while walking is more dangerous than walking while drunk. Walking is a low-risk activity which doesn't require a license and people routinely do it while being under an influence.
To an extent I think the web provides separate contexts for information. I go to certain websites to find news and others to find entertainment. I'm intentional about it. For aggregator sites like Reddit, separate feeds (multireddits) are possible if you spend an extra 10 minutes to configure them.

Most social media makes it easy for people to land in one place and use that as a funnel for consuming all of their information, and provides no tools for curation. True as ever, the majority of people find the lowest friction way forward. We have the tools to empower people to be careful and intentional, but only a small subset of the population actually use them. That's a behavioral issue amplified by technology, and well beyond my ability to diagnose.

I wonder about the desire to consume information wrapped up in a social context. How much of sharing an article is actually about sharing information, and how much is about presenting an identity associated with that content? When everything is your social media feed, everything is on some level about building your identity.

I want there to be technological answers to these problems, but the older I get and the longer I work with technology, the less answers I find.
An arbitrary technical limitation. You could preload any site you want. Google wants to push AMP, so they only preload those.

Well of course it's cheating if you compare load times between pre-loaded sites vs. not preloaded ones. And then argue that "AMP is faster", which is obviously wrong because the conditions are not the same.
> The insurance company serves as an educated advocate for the patient (they employ doctors and pharmacists) to reduce over billing.

Insurance company profits are capped at a percentage of payout, and they are part of oligopolies protected by high barriers to entry, why would they reduce overbilling or advocate for patients?

My point was that this law makes 12% of pedestrians illegal, which is too high, not that nobody does this.
Sure. Mind you, my argument wasn't comparing Windows to these sorts of "lightning-fast" systems—(modern) Windows isn't even a contender. Nor is macOS, nor KDE or GNOME.

My points were under the mode of thought where you look at a modern system already aimed at being "fast because it's lightweight" (e.g. XFCE), and then you ask why it still feels laggy compared to BeOS/AmigaOS/etc.

Where such "lightweight" DEs do have perceivable latency, that latency mostly comes down to operations hitting the disk where these older systems didn't. (Also the input stack, yes, but that's not universal: modern hardware still has PS/2 ports, and modern OSes still access those with rather direct reads. Many gamers swear by PS/2 peripherals—though probably mostly for cargo-cult reasons.)

Some of the minimal-est Linux WMs, e.g. Fluxbox, are run entirely from memory once started, and so are comparably fast—but need an explicit restart/reload to do anything. Plus, the apps launched in the WM aren't designed with the same paradigm, so most of your experience there is still slow.
More than you probably as at least many of them contributed much to their families and societies. Fear not though, when the super valcano goes it will take most of the world with it!

if the capture and separate elements can be decentralized,
then distribution and one storage phase are eliminated.

In other words, if a refueling station can do solar or wind capture and electrolysis on-site, the economics are better.
This would be unlikely for stations in urban or high-density
areas, but for rural and suburban locations it might be a win.

The idea related to the OP is that JWST can actually image distant exoplanets without depending on spectrum and/or transit analysis like it's done today. In a way, JWST will be able to give us visuals of exoplanets we only dream about today, much like what Hubble did for some objects previously only imagined. At least that's how I understand what JWST can do for exoplanets hunting.
Only a true American patriot who is deeply devoted to the nation's ideals would zealously protect a system of units that has been thrown in the dustbin of history by the rest of humanity.
This feels hard to answer, and I feel like you're making some fundamental category error. Having a type system doesn't mean "don't do suspiciously-dynamic-sounding things", it means "don't accidentally mix up data with incompatible structure". Rust, C++, Haskell, etc. are all perfectly happy with polymorphism, and a typical ECS certainly is well-typed. It's just another way of doing mixins.
Just make a regular old HTTP(S) site. You can host plain text files and they'll work just fine in any modern browser. Or you can use a subset of HTML and CSS for accessibilty reasons (screen readers, etc).
Already years ago the legal department of the Heise Verlag, publisher of German's biggest IT news site (which is interestingly also one of the biggest German internet sites in general), came to the conclusion that it's actually legally not possible to embed "social widgets" on their site as those widgets would send personal data to their US based "mother ships" without explicit user consent.

To circumvent this problem they developed a kind of wrapper around those widgets that won't load the widget (which will than of course inevitably trigger transfer of personal data to the social network in question) until explicitly clicked by the user. This solution was than published under an open-source license so it can be used by any interested webmaster. It's called "Heise Shariff" and can be found on GitHub [1].

> You link somewhere, the other site owner a month later decides they want to use Google Analytics, now you're linking your readers back to the web they're trying to avoid.

What if instead of a direct link, there was an intermediary that verified that the source and target of the link conformed to spec? If either side didn't conform, the link would just not work. Ideally the intermediary would be built in to the source's web server for privacy reasons. If the target site decided to quit and break spec, people could still access the site from links posted outside of the network.
It's quite astonishing to see the US actively reject the people and the talent that other countries would be taking with open arms. Indian and Chinese immigrants in particular in tech constitute a large part of the workforce and the former increasingly in leadership too.

With the rapidly developing national sectors in India and China and the increasing racism and deteriorating condition this could very well the point at which many people consider to actually go home. What could have been decades of comfortable technological lead for the US may evaporate within a decade or two if human talent is rejected like this. Crazy to see a nation do this to itself honestly.

100%. You picked up on something that I thought about but didn’t write in the post in the end. All through undergrad I had one friend in my program who was laid back but also interested in math. Trying to find more people like this. I don’t imagine it has gotten much easier, but hoping that being online and not limited by physical location would help.
This substitutes the challenge of inventing a warp drive with the challenge of inventing a limitless free energy machine. An antimatter fueled rocket can't keep up with what "1G, indefinitely" demands. Not even beamed power propulsion driven by a Dyson swarm can do that.

I like the Revelation Space universe, but its fictional Conjoiner drive and the near-light-speed Lighthugger spacecraft powered by it are no closer to realization than any of Star Trek's technobabble. The same goes for the forever-accelerating Bussard ramjet vessel of Tau Zero.

It also depends where the hydrogen comes from. If you produce it from water, your byproducts are oxygen. If you produce it from methane, your byproducts are carbon dioxide. Issue is that water has 2 hydrogens and methane has 4, so typically it is produced by using methane.

Airbnb is a for-profit company with a controversial record, not a credible research institution. If they wanted to do this with no controversy, they would have a) had an institution send out the email to provide credibility, b) provide clear opt-ins, c) not hide behind a "We know your privacy is important" cliché instead of actually acting that way.

> but taking a big public stand against an organization for actually trying to improve things for minorities in 2020 is pretty tone deaf

From the email: "we’ll use first names and profile photos from hosts and guests to help us understand the perceived race someone might associate with them...We’ll use this information to help us understand when and where racial discrimination is happening on our platform."

So if I get rejected for trying to book a room, my brown face will be labeled "minority" and be used as a datapoint to help improve the company. I have every right to disagree with how Airbnb is going about this especially from a privacy perspective, and do so vocally.

If you have a probability distribution of position.

Then increment time by one tick. If you have a second probability distribution (assuming some time dependence) then you have now a distribution of distance travelled and therefore a distribution of speeds.

The alarming thing about QM is that it is fundamentally probabilistic and yet a little classical at the same time.

The business card version, as I understand it, involves splitting our plaintext as bits, encrypt each, pass these 'bits' through a logical circuit equivalent to the desired computation (ex a full adder [0]), decrypt the 'bits', and reassemble them into the transformed plaintext. The advanced math comes in encrypting it by choosing values that they follow a lattice [1] .. maybe .. so that evaluating the circuit doesn't trash the encrypted bits.

Because if they payout too much then they have higher premiums compared to their competitors, which means customers would opt for a different insurer?

Obviously not forcing everyone to go through healthcare.gov crippled the ability for numerous health insurance to exist and compete, but that is a political problem.
The primary goal of ECS is arranging data in a more CPU-friendly way. The secondary goal is avoiding hardcoding the behavior of your model into a type hierarchy.

As a comparison, imagine your bank's lending products. You probably don't want to hardcode them into a type hierarchy with a virtual method AccrueInterest(Date), but rather have flags that indicate which loans accrue daily, which loans accrue monthly, which loans have some secondary interest etc.

Most of my list is available as extensions on other browsers [1] (which I'd generally prefer to reduce bloat).

However, in my experience, the DOM for some sites is such a mess that trying to apply user preferences is a hack. I.E. reader view accidentally loses text. Does the implementation Opera has always work? That would be cool, although I'd still avoid Opera for privacy reasons.

Gemini seems to be to throw away all that complexity, which makes user customization easier. I.E. the problem is HTML/JS/DOM complexity, not a browser or its extensions.

With about 10% of the worlds GDP spend going to healthcare you'd expect us to get there eventually.

Right now the voyager is traveling at 17 km/s which is 0.0056% of the speed of light. We don't have the propulsion technology and given the known laws of nature, it's unlikely we will ever have something feasible to travel at 10% of light speed. But even if we did manage that we'd be looking at 100 years of travel for a one-way trip.

Interesting collection. Between the veritable homages (AV notification included) [0] and reinterpretations for various purposes (e.g., music player [1]), it's a fun mix!

It also reminded me of the Nielsen Norman article exploring flat design and comparing it to three-dimensional design [2].

I wish I'd stop hearing about Hydrogen as a fuel source. It's not. It's just a battery, and should simply be compared to other types of batteries, like Li-Ion. Maybe Hydrogen fuel cells are better batteries, maybe not.

But it's still just a battery, and needs to be charged from the electric power grid (by using the electricity to separate hydrogen from water), just like any other battery would.
