Kosher laws have nothing to do with getting into heaven. They're about community. Jews are the people who keep kosher. It's not a sin to fail to keep kosher. You're not jeopardizing the afterlife; Judaism puts far less focus on the afterlife than we're used to swimming in a Christian world view.

That does sometimes lead to a weird performative "more kosher than thou", which I don't believe is really healthy but every community has equivalent behavior. The finger wagging isn't about protecting their immortal soul, but merely making yourself to be the best at the arbitrary rules and therefore somehow to be most beloved by the community.

That says to me that this is a search problem. Could we build a search engine that favors indie/personal labors of love over commercial sites?

Exactly. Many times following the facts can paint BOTH sides as wrong, and those who espouse "follow the facts" often only mean "follow the facts I want you to follow and discard the rest".

A zero interest (or low) interest rate doesn't have to equal stagnation. The free flow of money could also kick start an entire generation of entrepreneurs, solely by reducing capital risk.

The performance of the Nikkei is significantly more complicated than just a low interest rate. For example. the lack of productivity and population growth in Japan is another set of pieces that also impacts the rate of return.
I agree with the prioritizing and need to be rounded, and have thought a lot about the details of that. I have written a bunch, hopefully skimmable and detailed at my simple (no JS still) site: http://lukecall.net/e-9223372036854760791.html

This just pretty much comports with what we're coming to understand to be the case around the vast majority of human decision making. That is, we choose first and then justify. The process we call "deciding" is really backfilling with reason.

This data is intended to be used in concert with manual contact tracing, not instead of it. The problem with contact tracing, as people get more mobile, is that while you can say "I was in contact with my friend X" you probably can't tell the contact tracer the name of the person sitting behind you in the restaurant. This will help with that, potentially.

On sorting dropped decks:

"You may have heard the story of the operator who dropped a whole box of cards. Wanting to put things right as quickly as possible, he sorted the cards, without consulting the user. As it turned out, that was the worst possible response. Up until that point, the box had contained a sample of random numbers."

I'm curious to hear what you mean when you say the entire market works in cooperation? I mean, strategic partnerships happen, and companies work as suppliers for other companies. But that's not the market - the market is where someone wanting to buy something goes and evaluates competing products and picks the one they want to buy. It's pretty comparable to natural selection, where the fittest animals survive and the fittest companies get bigger marketshare while the least fit companies go bankrupt, and the least fit species go extinct. So I guess you could say that the market functions as an ecosystem - maybe the word you were looking for was 'symbiosis' rather than cooperation? Cheetah's aren't cooperating with lions, they are competing - but relative to the rest of the ecosystem, they exist in a form of symbiosis.

5G is definitely changing the way cell networks are built although traditional towers are still a part of this. my understanding is that traditional towers will operate on spectrum that reaches out for miles like a traditional tower, while the smaller towers built on lampposts and street corners will be operating on higher bandwidth spectrum that doesn't reach as far, requiring more small towers in densely populated areas. open RANs are the key to making sure all the operators can use existing infra instead of overbuilding each other. sure we'll have a ton of small 5g towers in dense areas, but imagine how many towers would be installed if individual telecoms had to build their own networks.

Thanks for the comments! So the radar solution is great for touring riders, where one doesn't see a car for half an hour or a couple hours. It mentally wakes them up to the presence of a car.

It's not intended for use in commuting though... as in commuting you don't care about the 500 cars that will pass you safely on your ride (and you don't want 500 alerts), you care about the 1 that is on a trajectory to kill you.

So with computer vision you can tell that trajectory. You can also with radar, but only with super-expensive radars ($100k+), wheras you can do this w/ computer vision for $50 or so.

There's been a few youtubers who've tried to go elsewhere with their content. My guess is that given a viable alternative a huge number of them would jump ship entirely. The challenge for alternative youtubes is that they don't have the tight integration into their own ad network which is how google can afford to host lots of long-tail media and provide a sustainable service.

However the flip side is that youtubers are all fighting with ridiculous cuts in revenue over time, bans, copyright strikes on the wrong content, and so on. And the number of videos of youtubers complaining about this comes in huge surges.

In other words a lot of youtube content is creators talking about problems with youtube.

Texas Covid ‘Spike’ May Be Fake News
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2020/07/ron-paul/is-the-texas-covid-spike-fake-news/

In a Commissioners Court hearing for Collin County on May 18th, it was revealed that while previously the determination of a Covid “case” was a confirmed test result, the definition was suddenly changed to count “probable” cases as “cases.” At the same time, the threshold for determining “probable” was lowered to a ridiculous level.

As Judge Hill said at that May 18th meeting, “If you have a subjective fever and you have a headache and you live in Collin County, you now meet the qualifications to be a probable COVID patient. It is remarkable how low the standard is now.”

Even worse, once a “probable” case was determined based on possibly unrelated subjective criteria, up to 15 people in possible contact with that “probable” case were also listed as “probable cases.” And “probable cases” were considered cases.

Repeat that farce across Texas and is it any wonder there was a “spike” in “cases”?

I like the idea of RuboCop, but I don't use it because I think it simply wrong in so many cases (complaining about "if ... then" really gets my goat). I know I can build a set of exceptions, but life's too short.

I think it would benefit from the PEP8 approach of only going after the egregious stuff, to be sufficiently non-judgemental that I'm happy to have it as part of a project test-suite (i.e., where a violation is suite failure).
Don't forget that many of the anti-lockdown protests were also indoors.

Thanks for the compliments, and I appreciate your eye for detail and nitpicking :) I don't even wanna think about how many hours I put into this thing. It was one of those projects when you've got some free time you just keep working on it, then eventually, one day, it turns out there's nothing else to do.

For the Dekatrons, it was simply a case of I had 50mm stainless steel bar already in the shop, but the biggest brass I had was probably 30mm diameter. I bought a whole load of bar stock offcuts from an auction years ago and pretty much everything I make is made from that lot. That being said I broke so many tools trying to work with M2 threads in stainless that I could have just bought some brass bar!

As for the dips/wrinkles in the case, those were caused by my use of an oscillating drum sander. There's a photo in the blog post where you'll see I used the drum sander to bring the lid to size. I foolishly let it mark the previously pristine planed surfaces, and didn't realise until I had coated it with gloss. This is definitely a lesson learned from this project, I won't make that mistake again.

I have no defence for the hand-filed gouges hidden in the openings, and not filling the grain - more lessons learned for next time there. :)

Thanks for the comment!
Isn't that demonstrably wrong as well as a gross oversimplification? Freedom of assembly is not an absolute right; that would be absurd. No 1st amendment right is absolute.

Are you trying to argue that there are no legal exceptions to freedom of assembly? If so, try protesting in the middle of your nearest freeway without a permit and explain your stance to the police who'd show up to ask you to move along.

Young person programmer here. There are a couple of privacy-oriented browsers. If it were really trivial, it’d have been implemented already. Just look at the cat and mouse game between Apple and advertisers around Safari, and the new fingerprinting techniques that show up every now and then. Not much is trivial in web browsers.

There is zero need for standards, which won’t happen anyway because of the power Google has with Chrome.
nelgaard got the gist of it. I've never encountered an area where OSM didn't have the roads and buildings already mapped. I have encountered areas where it didn't have the speed limits and house numbers of those structures (and, once or twice, places lacking a road name, but that's pretty rare).

But, my personal perspective was a little different. It's more like: I want to use OSM, and get others to use OSM instead of proprietary mapping solutions like Google's, for moral reasons. In that context, being able to make sure my friends can always get to my house using OSM is a great boon.

I realize I didn't share that perspective in my original post, which is probably the source of the confusion here.

From the government’s perspective, maybe. People still need to decide whether they want to take on the risk of attending a protest, and they should be informed (by experts) when doing so.
For Testing:

1. Tests aren't necessarily for you, they could be to convince somebody else that your solution is robust enough to be used for their use-cases.

2. Test's aren't necessarily for today. They could be about preventing code regression in the future (some dev comes in and makes "performance" changes for example, not realizing they are breaking the code for others).

3. They can be about testing that the code behaves how you believe it behaves. Sometimes even simple code requires a sanity check.

4. 100% test coverage is likely impossible, but if we do find errors, we can learn from them and try to prevent them happening in the future by adding them to the tests.

5. Tests breaking are a good thing. They inform you that some change you are making is changing the behavior of something you thought to be act reliably.

6. With regards to the same mind making the tests, this could also be a useful tool for ensuring a developer of some code thought of most the edge cases when merging some code. "Ah, i see you didn't add minus numbers to the tests, how are those handled?"

7. We should be able to freely rip out tests and add testing as the requirements of the code base change. Generally though, the goal of much code doesn't really change, despite perhaps how exactly it achieves the task does.
The CCP high officials don't really care about anyone but their own relatives and cronies, while your assumption is mostly right as in the cases like Alibaba and Tencent, ByteDance isn't exactly like them, it has a kind of autonomy and internationalization those companies wouldn't dare to dream of. ByteDance isn't as beholden to the party as those two since it's a startup capitalized on the app economy, it's growth is organic, didn't rely on government policies and protection.

In fact ByteDance already has blockbuster app killed by Chinese authorities.
