I agree. The Project Trigger Team studied this:

Then came the air war over Vietnam, and the fighter crews there soon realized that AIM-7 shots beyond visual range were often more dangerous to other Americans than to the enemy, because there was no (sure) way to identify the target as friend or foe.

For a more "modern" war:

During the Gulf War, the US Air Force launched AIM-7M and AIM-120 medium-range air-to-air missile for BVR attack under the condition of "one-way transparency", but the hitting rate was less than 30 percent.

A few years ago, while browsing the feeds from my country, I had spotted a camera showing a bedroom with a young child playing. The camera in question was using UPnP to enable port forwarding by default – with a standard password.

After looking up the ip address, I notified the ISP which in turn notified the customer and the camera was taken offline within hours.

While it may not be unexpected to us that such insecure cameras are sold, less tech-savvy users simply don't know about the risks.
> Tell me, do you still use the term Negro? Or did you side with the change-the-language movement on that one? Because the logic you use sounds identical to the logic used to resist that change.

This has connections with the right of a particular group of people to decide how their group gets named. Wikipedia indicates that "black" was once considered the offensive term: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negro#United_States . However, most black people today prefer either the term black, or for some Americans, African-American.

This is similar to the issue of whether it's ok to use master/slave to relationships between people, but not whether the usage in tech relates to people or is unacceptable because it parallels historical relationships with groups that in the United States were seperated by race
Bacteria are self-limiting. Their offspring compete and they don't reshape their environment to be more friendly to their existence. They don't plan for space colonization either. They're a bit of a toy model for a maximizer, not the real threat of an intelligent, self-modifying maximizer.
If I were sampling perceptions of Bill's effect on the company, I'd obviously place a higher value on your experience than my own short time at SRA. Didn't know about the stacked ranking thing; I'm not a fan of it (and I'm glad people have started to believe Jack Welch's implementation of stacked ranking at GE wasn't such a brilliant move that should be copied elsewhere).

But if I were CEO of a big company one day, I'd definitely want to interact with the rank-and-file the same way Bill interacted with me.

>Getting the feeling China has blown it and successful companies looking to expand into Asia are now looking at India instead

Chinese leadership priced this in years ago. If you follow ongoing political debates in China more closely they were already talking about the next 20 years being rocky as China climbs up in the world stage five to ten years ago. Why do you think China's Made in China 2025 industrial policy program was started in 2015 and OBOR in 2013?

For a small startup team, we now simply do this as Markdown files in our monorepo.

Some such Markdown files correspond 1:1 with code, and (for things like devops processes with a script component), are named the same, or with the same codename, often with just the filename extension differing. Other Markdown files have names like `ops/aws.md` and `20200713-foo-braindump-meeting-notes.md`.

Normally, these are in the git main branch (unless some documentation addition/change is really tied to changes in a development branch).

Just putting it in the repo means one fewer place people have to look (or not see) for important info. GitLab handles all the version-preserving, awareness of changes, etc.

I usually use GitLab Web IDE for quick changes, and my favorite file editor for bigger changes.

I do this after previously using wikis for key information, and decided that the monorepo is simpler, and seems more likely to be kept updated. (I previously loved wikis, and wrote an Emacs mode for one of the wikis when I used it at a well-known company, but I'm liking the monorepo approach even better for the current startup. https://www.neilvandyke.org/erin-twiki-emacs/ )
Well, the stats on life expectancy over time, cases of infectious diseases and analysis of vaccination programme efficacy are acceptable evidence.

You don't need to understand the mechanism of vaccines, to see data of the effects. Luckily the effective application of science frequently allows us to see that the consensus did in fact improve something, and that even if it's not 100% correct or you don't understand all the nuance, the fact that repeatable and extensive datasets are available for many scientific claims will work in its place.

Of course there are huge exceptions to this, but it's not always true that you need to understand to have an opinion else it is simply faith. It can be knowable and verifiably effective.

You don't need to understand combustion engines to know that they transfer energy. You don't need to trust that scientists made them more efficient when you can measure distance travelled and volume of fuel required.

The CDC is full of doctors. Who, when asked "does <x> help against <y>?" always think of bloodletting or lead-against-malaria and answer "no", unless they have empirical evidence (studies) rejecting this so-called "Null Hypothesis".

That approach wasn't particularly smart in this case. But it's so fundamental to medicine today, precisely because the alternative killed an untold number of people over centuries, that people steeped in it were not able to overcome these priors.

The idea of this having been a strategy to ration limited supplies is rather widespread, obviously. And if you look at a timeline, you will notice that it was mentioned in the mainstream press in the very first articles reporting about the guidance on masks.

So I believe what happened actually went the other way around: experts were looking for arguments to support their guidance against mask usage. And because the argument above doesn't satisfy many people, they came up with their own conspiracy theory about their "true" reasons. Mentioning it, with a wink, allowed them to use the one argument that people would understand. And everyone ate it up!

Of course, it doesn't scale very well, as the article describes.

VC Partners Make All the Difference
VC Partners have cultivated their own unique brands, freeing them to raise their own funds after building a cachet at tier-1 firms. Some examples of this are Mary Meeker, Lee Fixel, Theresia Gouw and Ophelia Brown. Is a partner's own brand becoming decoupled from that of the VC firm?

Knowing how to use raw SQL has been a major differentiator for me in tech interviews (I've been told by employers). It seems people jump to learning web frameworks and they either skip this part or worse, are told they don't need to know how to use it to be become decent and land a job.

I call bullshit, do not listen to such advice, grab a SQL book, install a SQL database management server (postgres for example) and start playing with it. Create tables, do left joins, learn about indexes, try playing with pivots, and some more advanced stuff like, try building a "data warehouse" type of structure. I can guarantee you, from personal experience, it is worth it. Bonus points if you do all that from the terminal, using psql for example. It makes you feel more confident when debugging a real issue and really impresses in interviews.

Honestly, this is kind of an arrogant response. The phrases "user error", "designer error" and "user friendly" were a direct result of the investigation into the B-17 mishaps, which were many, and unexplained until investigated.

Yes, good design is an old phenomenon - such is the nature of technology. But the article didn't make the claim that design started after WW2 - just that the importance of the designer / user relationship became better coded in the language of industry which followed the post-war period.

We had generational shifts in UI design pre-war. But we didn't have computers, which have manifested every design flaw ever, and still are pretty crap to use.

The point of this article is not to make boisterous claims about contemporary design - but to point out that the user / designer relationship is still more relevant than ever. Also, people are still crashing planes, metaphorically in their user interface designs. The age of dark patterns is upon us.

The B17 crashed because of dark patterns.
Sure it's called for, and you're being irrational and hysterical, too.

Exactly who besides you says "slavery based on race that is the biggest motivator to changing the term" and why? Give me some evidence, or retract what you said, because it's outrageously wrong. And where did you get that ridiculous unfounded belief? And what motivates you to propagate it, despite it being false? Just because it "seems to you" doesn't mean there's any truth to it.

It seems to the person who I was replying to, and many other people in this thread, that slavery no longer happens, and they're terribly wrong. Do you also falsely believe there is no more slavery, too? (Yes you do, I see from your other comment: "Nobody is enslaving anyone" -Dylan16807) Is that the basis of your false belief that "it seems to me that it's slavery based on race that is the biggest motivator to changing the term"?

It really puzzles me what motivates people like you to make such unsubstantiated statements whitewashing slavery, and then feign outrage at having your feelings hurt, while so many human beings are currently suffering from slavery every day, more than at any time in history, that you refuse to acknowledge. Can you explain why?
Content is easy to get for publishers, and they have to often invest significant time and money to get the book to market. They often take a risk on printing X copies, and they don't sell, the publisher eats the cost. You can say to just print on demand, but that is costlier per book. They often have to provide editors to clean up the book, do marketing through their channels, and promote the book.

Most authors don't do all this guy did. Most simply write the text and leave it there. Publishers do everything else this guy did to move the book.

Once you find someone willing to put in the level of work required (probably 80% of people simply will not work hard enough to finish), the most common mistake is targeting the advanced/experts in their field. That's great to flesh out your following, but if your goal is revenue, beginners are going to be the key to driving that. That doesn't necessarily mean actual beginners - you can write about microservices architecture for mid-level and advanced software developers, but target those who aren't familiar with microservices. They're beginners in that respect. You'll have 10x the revenue from a "Microservices 101" type product as you will from a product of similar length and quality talking about all the different ways to structure your messaging topics, for example.
But still, a greater intelligence brings greater risk.

Same here, it is actually how I got into computers, my writing was so bad (I have dysgraphia) that they put me in a special computer lab in the 3rd grade. I am 45 so, that was not a common thing back then. My grades improved and I did well in school, but I am functionally illiterate when it comes to actually hand writing anything. I can tell what something says when I read back something I wrote, but if you where to look at it, well it might as well be hieroglyphs, it is completely illegible to anyone else.

But when it comes to typing I do OK, I transpose letters here and there, but I get by and I can read just fine, it's just in my writing that one can really tell there is something off.
Will second this, Arch Linux is by far the most user-friendly distribution. It lacks a lot of the kludges and oddities that are especially common to Debian distributions, and the rolling release more often than not prevents you from needing to install a third party repository just to use the current stable release of a package. The documentation is actually helpful, and if you do have an actual novel problem, the community will be there for you (though, like any healthy community, it has defenses against lazy people who won't read the documentation).
One can also forbid Internet or just computers, because one can do a lot of harm with them...

Maybe you could simulate this by asking the reader to highlight on the page as they read (another commenter with dyslexia mentioned using this strategy)? Then hold the words immediately before and after the end of the selection constant. And maybe instead of randomly shuffling letters, swap out whole words with likely mistakes (given the number of dyslexic people in these comments, you could probably start with no substitutions and crowd-source a list of actual mistakes. To prevent the visual motion of swapping words from being distracting, you could make all non-selected words be very low contrast with the background. And if you wanted to be really fancy, maybe you could only make selection persist for a certain amount of time or words, so one can't simply select the entire document to fix it in place.
Not sure why you are being downvoted. China is clearly the one investing in foreign countries now, for instance see belt & road initiative. It is also clearly conpeting with US, with Trump administration exacerbating the conflict.

> but from a more objective view, the fax is really a very reliable form of communication

I agree with you, but.

When healthcare professionals use fax machines they normally have a protocol that they work to. This lets them know that their telephone line is working, that the fax machine dialled the other number, that the other number picked up, and that the fax was sent. Some of them for urgent stuff include a final "make a call and make sure they got, and read, the fax".

The problem is that these protocols were created when fax machines were on POTS lines. Now many machines are using weird fax-to-email and back again gateways, so we get all the disadvantages of fax combined with the flakiness of email.

Fax is everywhere in healthcare, and someone designing a better safer communication tool that addresses the reasons fax is used could make a lot of money.
Most Indians care only about the cheapest workable plan, product, service, while making a purchase. It's not about Jio, it's about the 500 rupees free call, free SMS, free 4G plans. As long as Jio offers it they'll use it. They'll drop it as soon as something cheaper comes around.

Mukesh Amabani, is mostly raising money because he had simply too much debt, and he is also getting old. It could also be a part of larger succession planning. His kids are not that much hands-on into business as much as he was with his father. It makes sense to have a Tata Sons Trust like scenario where professional managers runs the companies while the companies are owned through a holding trust owned by his children.

The experiment with Anil Ambani's mismanagement and the state he has left his business is a lesson for Mukesh to not let it repeat with his own children.

I think your rule of thumb is correct, but I don't see how this implies your corollaries.

I think Corollary 1 assumes 100% infection at T_0, which is clearly not true. It's debatable what the correct curve would look like, but even in the worst do-nothing case I don't think it could possibly be this steep.

I don't understand the logic for Corollary 2. Even if we assume Corollary 1 (which I'd argue we shouldn't) why would uniformly doubling the average death rate reduce life expectancy by less than 1 month? I can't say for sure that it wouldn't, but I don't think the math is obvious. Could you flesh this out?

Your final sentence seems possible, depending on what "much more" means, but I'd like to see more proof. Adding $3T would be equivalent to doubling current US health care spending.

The whole "correlation does not imply causation" thing is completely misunderstood.

The issue is with the meaning of the word "imply"; when used in the formal sense as it appears is Classical Logic, correlation does indeed not imply causation.

In common parlance however, "imply" is often used to mean "provides evidence for", and correlation can indeed provide (potentially strong) evidence for a hypothesised causal link; the problem lies in people reading "correlation does not imply causation", assuming the informal meaning of "imply", and then going on to reject any notion of causation which uses observed correlation as evidence.

Pretty much every empirical science uses notions of correlation (in its various formal statistical guises) to provide support for causation, indeed to reject such reasoning would be to invalidate huge swathes of mainstream accepted science; half the battle in these instances is making the leap from correlation to causation in a manner which is considered scientifically sound.
