I'd rather not have personalized ads because I'd rather there not be an incentive to harvest my data to leverage for personalization.

I may be an outlier since I generally try and turn this stuff off everywhere. I also pay for a lot of ad-free content that I like (Stratechery, Stay Tuned with Preet, Persuasion, etc.).

I think the incentives from ads are a corrupting influence in building stuff that users want. I think the 'personalization is good for users' argument is often just a rationalization.
Yeah, I really hated the standard IBM font too... trying to look like a serif font and having to "fall back" to sans serif most of the time anyway because there just wasn't enough space for the serifs... why?! And the patterns drawn with the standard background "pattern characters" looked horrible in the 80x25 mode which was used most of the time, because the hardware inserted an extra column repeating the 8th column, so the font matrix was actually 9x16, but the font didn't account for that.

Actually back in the bad old DOS days I went as far as realizing that it was really easy to replace the "default" font (at least on German/non-US machines, which installed a different font from a file which contained the correct characters for the German code page). So I wrote a small program to hack this code page file and insert my own sans-serif font. An additional realization was that 8 = 3+1+3+1 - so if you designed your "pattern characters" to have 2 "patterned" columns 3 pixels wide and 2 empty columns 1 pixel wide (so the repeated column would be empty too), the pattern would look nicer when shown in the 9x16 matrix. I wonder if I still have that laying around somewhere...
You've likely given this far more thought than most people. The majority of people just use what's installed by default and don't ever even look at Google. Defaults are powerful. This is doubly true now that Apple Maps is as good as it's gotten.
This is a good assessment. And Dr. Smolke (the author) is actually at the very forefront of combining and mixing up many pathways in one system to create a new compound. Her skill at engineering multiple pathways at the same time is at the edge of the state of the art.

So that can be taken two ways - either she's one of very few who can do it, so she's overconfident in how well others can follow. Or, she is uniquely aware of the challenges yet sees a path through them heading into the future.

Thanks, that’s an important though subtle distinction. People merely crossing a border don’t constitute a “war”, much less “invasion” in any sense and I hadn’t intended to imply such.

I edited it to “mass migration” with the intent of addressing both refugee population as well as associated, perhaps “non-civilian” is the term, people either/both pushing and accompanying.
Same can be said of the media's coverage of Covid-19.
I am your exact same age and have exactly what you described except for the potassium levels. It really sucks. It's weird to realize that most people out there don't feel their heartbeat constantly, because it's been a background noise almost my whole life.
That‘s because it turned out that the range of the Concorde made it so that a 3-hour supersonic bus ride was competing with a 6-hour flight that was a meal service and then a sleep in a lie flat bed.
It all depend on electricity prices. There is a point where it is profitable regardless of the cost. As long as you can sell cheaper energy in a more expensive market.
Cases are lower still or zero in many other places with far too few cases to have achieved herd immunity. The only plausible explanation is that containment measures have some effect.

Rule of Law upheld scenario:

I'm fine with either approach, you decide.
>At the same time, the low barrier of entry and hype has resulted in a huge amount of people downloading Keras, copying a bunch of code, tuning a few parameters, and then putting their result on arXiv so they can put AI research on their resume. This has resulted in so much noise and low quality work that it really hurts the field.

This seems extremely short-sighted to me.

If the barrier to entry (on an already relatively young technology) has come down so far that there are a bunch of noobs running rampant right now, does that not bode extremely well for future advancements in the field (assuming some non-zero conversion rate from noobs to productive members of the field over time)?

Also, let's not pretend that people with relevant degrees don't make shitty contributions to arXiv all the time.
I think Shoelace would be roughly equivalent to if Bootstrap offered web-component versions of their components, so instead of

<button class="btn btn-outline-secondary">...</button>

would be like:

<bs-button outline color="secondary">...</bs-button>

While this doesn't sound all that useful, I think this would be very handy for the interactive components like popovers, tooltips, carousels that need a lot of tag soup and javascript:

Hello World
</bs-popover>
Just a second anecdata point. I was looking for a plot of land for the past few years. I'm not going to say where, but let me just summarize that I have been monitoring pretty much all the areas I've travelled (roughly 1/6 of the US) to just in case something nice popped up. The available land options have quite astonishingly disappeared starting in February. The ones that remain are bad ones (next to trains or under an airport landing) and even those have prices going up. In some areas there is literally nothing left, and when one does pop into the market, the price is about DOUBLE what it was a year ago.

I don't have like any analytics on this, but I'm sure Zillow could easily produce something.

Also just in case people are wondering, for land with a house, I see a trend where the listings are marked up about 100k more than it was a year ago. The actual sales price of those listings isn't kinda available yet for much of the pandemic (since that data lags behind the when it drops off the market a few months). But a year ago if you saw a house at 200k it will sell at 200k. 300k will sell at 250, 400 will sell at 320, 500 will sell at 400, 600 will sell 450ish (you get the idea). I have the feeling that the speed at which 500k rural homes are selling that they are going for very close to asking now.
No, that's not the correct interpretation.
1/3 of children who are tested test positive.
The children who are tested are (probably) ones who are more likely to be showing symptoms or to have been exposed.
The rate of infection in the broader population of children is (probably) lower, though it's hard to say by how much without doing testing on a random sample of the population.
Super cool, thanks for this!

Now regarding the results: Are there any actual usecases where one would choose Angular over some other library?

From what i’ve seen from before and now this, i am not aware of a single reason why would anyone choose to use it, if they are not constrained by legacy codebase or if there are no stubborn developers who swear by it.
If there's a silver lining to this pandemic, it will be an end to the 20+ year trend of "you have to be in one of 10 cities to have a real career."

This is terrible for the majority of the country. It leads to brain drain and IMHO is a major force in political hyper-polarization.

It's also terrible for those 10 cities, as it leads to real estate hyperinflation in those areas that makes housing unaffordable. People who aren't "white collar" can barely afford to live at all, and even people who make comfortable six figure salaries must strain to get into housing and it negatively impacts their ability to build wealth.

In short it leads to: no jobs, unaffordable housing, pick one.

The reversal of this trend would be a win/win for everyone.

I've also seen the negative aspects of "new urbanism." To those who don't see it yet, I'll leave this here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_rent

In short: urbanism tends to enrich present day property owners and can worsen wealth distribution. If people can't own property they are at the mercy of the law of rent and are shut out of the primary mechanism for middle class wealth accumulation.

As far as the environment goes, 20 years ago we did not have affordable high performing good range EVs on the market. Now we do. The suburbs could be fully electrified, and suburban roofs are good enough to supply a minimum of 50% of the power required (and often more) for a typical suburban home.

Land use is IMHO only a concern in very dense countries and regions. The USA could experience a quadrupling of the size of its suburbs and still only a small percentage of land would be used for this. The vast majority of land (and water etc.) use is farming, and urban/suburban settlement patterns have no effect at all on how much farm land is needed. If anything urbanism may slightly increase farm land requirements as it encourages people to eat at restaurants rather than cook food at home. The restaurant system is incredibly wasteful of food, while eating at home tends to encourage less food waste.

Is there any evidence you can re-contract Covid-19? If not, I'd fall back to the following argument: Some health care workers have been exposed regularly for six months by now. It'd be very news worthy if someone was confirmed to be re-infected. Given I haven't seen that news, I think I can conclude that immunity lasts at least six months in working age people.

Also, if I understand correctly, it has recently been shown that people who were infected with SARS 17 years ago still have memory T cells for SARS. (And, I think SARS is one of the viruses most closely related to Covid-19, and therefore there's reason to expect a long immunity period for it too).

"Memory T cells induced by previous pathogens can shape the susceptibility to, and clinical severity of, subsequent infections. <snip> We then showed that SARS-recovered patients (n=23) still possess long-lasting memory T cells reactive to SARS-NP 17 years after the 2003 outbreak." - from https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2550-z
> with only a small handful of anecdotes of kids having bad symptoms.

Most kids have no symptoms. If a kid has symptoms, they have a risk of them progressing, and COVID symptoms tend to progress fairly suddenly (or, at least, fairly silently, if you aren't continuously tracking O2 says, which results in a sudden-seeming transition from “mild symptoms”, or even no noticeable symptoms, to catastrophic symptoms.) While kids are far more likely to be completely asymptomatic, testing if they are exposed to determine need for monitoring, especially if they are already noticeably ill (and, thus, if you presumed they are infected, equally ought to be presumed to have missed the high probability in their age group of getting by completely asymptomatic.)
If the kid has symptoms, which is very unlikely, that's when you'd seek treatment. But if the kid has no symptoms, which is far more likely, what would there be to treat?
If they only tested children who showed symptoms, then the results mean that 30% of children showing symptoms are actually positive.
What makes you think they want to move back in 6 months? Moving is a big deal, you are right about that. It's not impossible to do in a couple of months if you have the means to put down 20% and get a traditional mortgage.
The most relative units are calculated in turns of the font size of the root element (usually 1rem = 16px). I find it a lot easier to read and maintain units that are based on the font-size of the current element (e.g. `em`, `ex`, and `ch`). “This element has block margins 2 times the size of the font”, as opposed to some magic absolute `px` or `rem`. Also if margins and paddings are defined relative to the font-size (e.g `padding: 1ex 1em;`) resizing the entire element with `font-size` is way more manageable.
GPT-3 has an interesting contribution to this: https://twitter.com/sharifshameem/status/1284095222939451393...

Tell it what you want in plain English, then it builds you a web component in a random language that happens to be React.

The rule of law is not kept by generic authority figures in unmarked vans from a federal agency that hasn't declared itself and wasn't asked to intervene at a place and time where the issue doesn't require it and the victims are seen as the political enemies by the party whose president is in power. That's a dystopia - the opposite of rule of law.
If there is some particular hard evidence that the numbers in the article are incorrect I would expect The Hill to report that. As far as I know it is just hearsay, and that's not news. I would not expect The Hill to try and apologize for the official reported numbers. Florida should do a better job.
> but you seem to imply, given the context of what I said, that you want to prevent people from being able to say things,

Please don't put your words on anyone else's mouth. If you didn't understood what someone said then try do get information instead of trying to attribute to others the absurd and entirely baseless statements that you're fabricating.
> Global CO2 production, which is a good proxy for overall fossil fuel use as steadily risen

Emissions reductions are much slower than the rate at which products are consumed.

If every 10 years your planes get 2% more efficient but at the same time the air traffic jumps by 15% you're still fucked. Which is basically what's happening in every industries
I don't completely follow your second paragraph. Are the Philistines now believed to have been Hebrew? That's a development I wasn't aware of.

I'm also not clear how the use of Hyksos-style chariots by Ramesses II's is linked. The Hyksos rulers in Egypt were a couple of centuries earlier, right?

Anyhow, can you shed any light on the "the elite attendant to the rulers" and the "ethnic group with which they are associated" mentioned in the paper?

'cuz Facebook spent a bazillion dollars to push the developer community towards React? They are really good at––how should I say this––controlling the 'community direction and sentiments'. Even countries for that matter.
The answer for me is no. As I have become increasingly aggressive about blocking ads, trackers, social media, using web containers, and setting up pihole, the ads I do see are hilariously untargeted.

It's been fascinating to get a glimpse of the bigger universe of ad content for women, doctors, lawyers, the infirmed... instead of just the $150 hoodies and baldness pills I used to see constantly.
> I mean, in Wirecard prosecutors literally went after short sellers with criminals charges. For years. They only dropped charges a few months ago after a donation was made to a charitable organization. Seems pretty similar and pretty corrupt to me.

Corruption, or (gross) incompetence? Don't attribute to malice what can be sufficiently explained by stupidity.

Misplaced trust, broken culture, political pressure, or even actual corruption - we simply don't know what happened.
I don't know if anyone remembers Mindpixel. It was a crowd-sourced project to collect common-sense data that could be used to drive an AI. But for each prompt, the only response stored was a 1 or a 0, indicating that the input made sense to a human or not. It never amounted to much, but it seems like GPT is missing the core idea implemented in that 20-year-old project: that some inputs are just not meaningful.
The Health Ministry of Switzerland has said children cannot transmit covid at all. Along with the fact that children being affected by the virus is extremely rare, it would seem like the only concern is for adult staff to maintain precautions with each other, which seems much safer than e.g. working in a close quarters kitchen line, which we've been allowing all along.
On one hand, you're saying their land is going to be more valuable - and then on the other you're saying their land is going to suffer under climate change.

Your analysis seems very politically motivated, rather than objectively looking at probable outcomes.

If anything, more fertile land will drive immigration, not invasion, and help solve their demographic problems.
This distills the differences into the simplest possible example, which given the number of examples is incredibly useful.

Also if you're in a React project, yes, you would use it for a counter. Obviously you wouldn't use React for just a counter, but it's a great way to show the basics of working with each option.

I'm not sure which hack Tweetbot is using to do this (I think search as noted below), but you can tell it's a hack because it only works for recent-ish tweets. If you go to a tweet a couple weeks old and view details, you can see that it won't fill in the replies.
That's true and you are getting downvoted incorrectly. At first the interior minister wanted to move him to another equally well-paid position, but due to political backlash and also Maasen insisting there is a "radical left cabal" against him inside the government was retired early, which is still very much a golden parachute, but also the intended way for the government to remove political officials from office.

> That means that most likely, the people who are getting tested will test positive

Florida has averaged an 18% positive test rate over the last week. You can get a chart of the moving 1 week average positive rate here [1]. This was with a testing rate of 3000 tests/day per 1 million people.

Compare to 30 days ago, when they were getting a 7% positive rate on testing of 1400 tests/day per 1 million people.

Edit: might as well add deaths. 4.4 deaths/day per 1 million now (7 day average). 30 days ago it was 1.5.

Yeah, and it's possible I'm over-indexing on something like an Erlang-style green thread model, where shared state is (almost) forbidden, and thinking that's what was being referred to.
>Basic shit like wearing masks is now political.

Masks became political the moment the CDC, WHO, and US Surgeon General lied to the public by telling them that masks don't help and would even be worse than not wearing a mask. The world's leading experts made it political, don't blame nobodies with no power for that.

>You should take this seriously because people are actually dying.

"People are actually dying" isn't the adult conversation. The adult conversation acknowledges that there may never be a vaccine or even a good treatment for this disease. Many countries have their infection "under control" but this is only because of fairly draconian policies which cannot be implemented forever. Once the draconian policies are pulled back, the infection will hit them again because there is no herd immunity and no vaccine. The adults in the room are having a discussion that balances the understanding that there is a dangerous disease out there with the further understanding that draconian measures cannot be permanent and at some point the world may just have to deal with the consequences of returning to normalish life. The only question that matters is "How long do we wait?" and that question is not primarily an epidemiological one. For you personally, the answer to that question may be "forever," but it seems pretty clear that "forever" is not an answer most people will accept.
This memo highlights a problem that I’ve noticed recently as the public debates the legitimacy and effectiveness of the media.

This chief editor is basically telling his people to write what readers want to read. But there’s a difference between what readers always want to read and what may be necessary to read.

For example, if people only read what they wanted to read, how many people would really take interest in a possibly boring but important scandal? The Catholic Church sex abuse scandal comes to mind. It’s impact was global, but it’s not really related to domestic political battles or terrorism or whatever else really sells in the media these days.

The problem is worse now because news isn’t sold as a broadsheet anymore, where subscribers might not read everything in an issue, but eyes are on all of the stories. Is that the case when everyone gets to pick a la carte from a website, especially when management like this is telling reporters to focus on what gets the most clicks?
How to Be a Successful Affiliate
There's stories/news articles about psych facilities and hospitals that feed them with patients to get government money and insurance money. Then people are kicked out at the end of two weeks. Some judges are complicit in this, they go along with whatever the medical staff says.
Also contributing ammunition here is there are plenty of actual situations created by random clowns. Anyone can make or buy something off the shelf and be in the air minutes later, with no accountability or training, causing trouble with privacy, aviation airspace, public gatherings, or emergency scenes. The FAA attempted to license operators but it doesn't stop the "anyone" part.

As usual, a few bad actors ruin it for everyone else trying to do the right thing.
How many people hit up google search for news? Doesn't most news come from social media feeds these days?
Vue is great to make small webapp.

No, you can't even say that.
1/3 of those who are tested are positive. But people who go to get a test are more likely to have symptoms or have been exposed. The actual rate in the population is probably lower, though sadly we can't really estimate by how much unless someone runs tests on a random sample of the population.
> If TV was able to cater ads to individual viewers then ad breaks would be a lot shorter.

Or they could sell the same amount of ads as they do now for higher prices. Which one do you think the company would pick?

The length of ad breaks is determined by what 'price' the customer is willing to pay in terms of their time.
