> Surely something as startling and revolutionary as that would have been well documented and explained being any shred of doubt

Against the claim of thousands of people documented as cured, you argue that such a documentary can't exist because if it existed there would be documentation?

I'm not asking you to believe onion juice cures cancer based on an unverified claim that it does, but what you're doing is pre-deciding that it can't and then refuting the claim that thousands of people were cured because if they were, there would be thousands of cured people. Your logic is bad, and unscientific.

But even then - would it be? You'd think if the Catholic Church was systematically abusing children on a massive scale, it would be well documented and chased by the police. But they were, and they were covering it up on a massive scale too. What about the tobacco companies misleading people on the harms of tobacco so badly they agreed to indefinite $10Bn/year payouts, or the 1971 Ford Pinto with a fire risk where Ford calculated that paying out for burns victim lawsuits would save them $70M over fixing the cars and then buried that in mountains of Department of Transport paperwork ... surely that can't be happening, if it was there would be evidence - and there was. The VW emissions scandal? Coverups do happen.

"It's not happening" until it is happening, then "of course it was happening, everyone knew it".

> Greedy quacks develop their own "treatments", which conveniently, for one reason or another, they can never prove the effectiveness of. They always have an excuse, never the possibility that it just doesn't work.

That ineffective quack treatments exist is not evidence that all treatment claims are ineffective quack treatments.

> I think for lots of people it's more comforting to imagine that there's some big conspiracy out there trying to keep effective care from them than the idea that there's just nothing that will save them from their terminal illness.

It's plausible that America's largest killer - heart disease - is preventable with dietary and lifestyle changes, and maybe curable/reversible[1]. A test for non-invasively measuring calcium buildup in the heart as a proxy for atheroscletoric plaque and diet and lifestyle changes which improve that value. Claims that the mainstream medical view is that it can't be done. Maybe he's wrong, maybe he's right, but if you decide that he's wrong because if he was right it would be mainstream, there's no way for your reasoning to allow any change.

Labor is more expensive in Europe because workers rights add significant overhead. A simple example, 37.5h work weeks and 5 weeks paid holiday is pretty standard. Then there are severances.

Also, if you look at the median US wages, it's appearant how much does there is at the top.

Yes, Americans do have higher wages overall, but this is because there are fewer worker rights and less hidden costs for the employer. This does not mean labor is cheaper.

Well, Apple didn't start out making iPads in a garage. Amazon didn't start out renting web services along with books.

I think you're selling some of these companies short -- the thing they might seem focused on now was not the thing they initially got popular for doing. In other words, they innovated outside their expertise to stay relevant.
I think that is a narrow definition of SaaS. But I understand your point.

For instance Basecamp could be down due to AWS. And Basecamp ( and in this case Hey as well ), but are SaaS. And their customer may not always be technically minded. Given the usage of these tools, while inside tech circle, are not only used by technical people.

And At the end of the day it is all about trade offs.

I also dont think anyone ever make a purchase decision purely on brand or not fired for X. For example, despite AMD offering lower price and offer more core and performance. Server Vendors hasn't all switched to AMD at once. In fact, Intel Server still has months of backlog order to fill. This isn't simply because Intel is better connected with Vendors, it is the fact most of those End user / customers are still demanding Intel CPU. Because it is well tested, with more specific libraries, tools, guarantees and support. Many of these factors cant be quantitatively measured, and therefore would only be judged when the final price difference are shown. In this case No one gets fire for using X is another phase for if it aren't broke, dont fix it.

> think we're going in the wrong direction for AI entirely

This direction has produced results that eluded 30+ years of research. What is the evidence that this is the wrong direction?
This is the thing - it’s likely the exact value for a human life varies dramatically depending on the context.

That’s because they’re not usually attempting to assign a value to human lives in any abstract sense.
>Say you have 100 innovators in your company. Everyone comes to you with an idea, as an SVP or a Director, can you agree to all of them?

Yes, actually you can, as long as you control the parameters around how the idea is tested. We used to do a full 2-week sprint once out of every 16 weeks just to prototype people's ideas. In order to pitch the idea the only constraint was that it needed agreement from someone knowledgeable in that area that a prototype could be accomplished in <= 2 weeks.

Why Is the Covid-19 Death Rate Down?
True, my statement incorporates facts not in evidence. Net domestic migration to California is positive for high educational attainment (bachelors and higher) and positive for high incomes (50k/year+). It's negative for low educational and lower incomes. Basically the state attracts high earners and refuses to build housing, so someone has to leave. That's the competition.

Speaking of unsupported anecdotes, it makes sense that the people you meet in the middle of the country express a preference for being there. That's pure selection bias. In terms of revealed preference, the states that are getting more than their per-capita share of California out-migrants are Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, and Washington.
Yeah it's a bit janky right now... it's because some properties change ingredients which impact other properties... for example if you want a lighter color then the brown/white sugar ratio might change, which also changes the the texture and thickness.

Somewhat tangential, but Facebook’s average revenue per user was less than $9 in 2019. I can’t imagine TV manufacturers can eek out nearly that much revenue from the data they collect. Especially considering that almost everyone is streaming or using cable and all of that data is going to Hulu/Netflix/Cable providers and then passed on to advertisers anyway.

I found this struck a chord with me.

The key point of the article is that most social P2P systems (Mastodon, Dat) are fully public and do not hide the user's data from the system administrator or physical infrastructure network.

This is at odds with how these systems are often "marketed" as tools for fighting against The Government" or "The Corporations"-- when the open nature and lack of anonymization mechanisms of these tools expose those who are currently technically breaking the law (to prove a moral point) to be trivially detected by law-enforcement.

I personally have considered running a few P2P nodes for fun, but the amount of moderating and administration I would need to do and the risk of the service being used for illegal purposes pushes me firmly in the camp of watching from a distance.

Black people couldn't participate fully in the LDS church, as a matter of policy, until 1978, and the church has published materials suggesting against interracial dating and marriage in the last 20 years.

Big companies have their own roadmaps, managers have their own agendas. There is no resources for innovative weirdos. Especially in the world ruled by bookkeepers. In my experience not much technical guys make it into middle management. And you can explain 100 times simple technical improvement in the simplest words to a bookkeeper. He will not get it!!! Instead engineers will play another session of design thinking to check innovation box on somebody’s checklist.

It's always confused me how mined lead somehow has more radioactivity. Shouldn't the lead in the ground also have decayed over time?

Also, it makes me wonder why someone enterprising hasn't stockpiled a few tons of the stuff somewhere to let it become low background lead for the future. You'd think that some government or another would be able to drop a million dollars on putting a lead stockpile somewhere safe for the future.
I don't see how that could bring in anywhere close the different prices for certifications.
> So basically like DNA?

Sigh. When DNA becomes human, it doesn't have a-priori access to all the world's knowledge and yet it still develops intelligence without it. And that little DNA machine learns and grows over time.

When thousands of scientists and billions of human artifacts and 1000X more compute are put into the philosophical successor of GPT-3, it won't be as impressive as what happens when a 2 year old becomes a 3 year old. (It will probably make GPT-4 even less impressive than GPT-3, because the inputs vis-a-vis outputs will be even that much more removed from what humans already do.)
And keep in mind the premium price that follows cloud Functions as a Service. Unless you're running a very intermittent batch job with strict control and security policies, most traditional organisations really shouldn't need to build stuff out on this type of architecture model. If you ops and dev team is less than 5 people, maybe consider this to save on ops costs.. But I think it's fair to say for some orgs, this premium just isn't worth it. And they don't know it until they've been billed millions of dollars over years and finally a CFO/CTO is running cost-cutting programs.

Moving away from Seattle after college before I had another job lined up. I quit the job I had in college (it was software dev but in the university) and went on a long road trip across the country. It was the single worst decision I’ve made in my entire life. (Probably)

That said, I couldn’t have known that entry level jobs were going to be so incredibly difficult to get after college. Almost everyone and their mother thought I’d have no trouble cause he’s so smart, has job experience, went to good school, etc. But most of them were extremely privileged and never had issues finding jobs /or/ had completely irrelevant experience.

I’d highly suggest talking to peers who are just a year or two ahead of you. They might shine light. Sadly, I had none to go by. I was entirely alone and had no relatable peers.

I am the kind of person to submit 30 ideas to internal innovation challenges. I was an innovation intern for a bank. I have won many innovation awards from competitions they hosted to find ideas.

How many of those ideas got out of the page/prototype stage? 0.

Because it seems like the important thing for many is to seem innovative. After that part has been done, interest disappears.

Everyone would rather you excite them with a new idea. So much of this "innovation" stuff is about media and being trendy.
I would not read too much into it. I know a surprising number of nominally retired people with plenty of money who are recreationally employed because they enjoy it, often taking those kinds of jobs because it has such low commitment for them. It is a very social activity. I’ve talked to Uber drivers that were wealthy retirees who drove a couple hours per day just to talk to diverse and interesting people, it is an enjoyable routine for them.

Some of my teachers in high school were retired industry executives who taught for the love of it. At least in the US, “retirement” is often about choosing to be a productive and social member of the community without optimizing for the paycheck. It gives them a sense of purpose. I can’t speak for retirement in other cultures but in the US many retirees take an enormous amount of pride in generating value to society even if it doesn’t generate income. My grandparents and great-grandparents were all like this, and they loved it. Sometimes it generated income but they didn’t need it.

I could easily see myself doing the same thing as they did.

Jackets. Hoodies seem to be popular, and come in various weights. Blazers can fit typical “everyday carry” stuff without losing fit (though larger phones or really thick wallets might be a challenge, if you don’t ant them to be noticeable) and come in styles/weights/fabrics appropriate for all but the very hottest or very coldest weather.

To foil potential investigation attempts. You only serve the malicious payload to the intended targets, and everyone else gets something innocent-looking.

In your case, Curl is sending its own user-agent, so not only did you most likely trigger the evasive payload but you also let them know someone is looking too closely at this if they were to check the logs.

Next time, try hitting it by setting the user-agent of the intended device. It's not foolproof either (unlike Curl, a typical browser would load images and run Javascript so they can detect it that way) but should be enough for most purposes (they are not trying too hard to hide their tracks, user-agent filtering is very easy to implement so they do it, but anything else is likely too much effort for them to bother).
