So, couldn't you keep a database? Many people would upload the same url, whichever ones are bogus would get a low score, like shadowbanning. Say, use a dht with proof-of-work and things should work? Obviously I'm oversimplifying, but I see it as a solved problem by using a blockchain.

Also, ethically speaking, aren't we at the point of considering the idea of trusting random people smarter than trusting huge corporations whose only goals are to make more and more money?

People love bringing up the UDHR. Normally I would be happy.

But they are misusing it. There are articles besides the 19th.

Tweeting content disagreeable with Twitter, Inc. cannot be a right under the UDHR because of Article 20.

Article 20

1. Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association.

2. No one may be compelled to belong to an association.

"An association" doesn't mean an organized body like a club, political party, or union. It means any tangible or intangible connection of any type between two parties.

The twin freedoms of speech and association means a newspaper can't be forced (in civilized countries) to publish content against their will. The owners of the paper can't be forced into an association with ideas or speech that is not their own.

Same goes for Twitter. If Twitter wants to delete or prevent the dissemination of any tweet for any reason at any time-- that's their right.

If this was not true, then my local newspaper would be violating my rights for not publishing my letters to the editor. Are they?
Had to look up “hypersonic,” so consider this back of the envelope math from an interested amateur.

Hypersonic is the term used for speeds over Mach 5. Mach 1 is equal to the speed of sound, however the speed of sound varies at different elevation.

Sound travels slower in mediums that are less dense, so the higher you go in elevation the slower Mach is.

Mach 5 is about 6,125km/h (3,805.9mph) at sea level, and about 5,339 km/h (3,317.5mph) at 35,000ft, which makes is where you’ll see lots of commercial airliners.

> And, there are other countries and healthcare systems in which they internally take care of the stats/metrics so that they make a decent amount while you pay a reasonable amount that they tell you before you choose to get the procedure.

That's a difference in the financing system, which hospitals have about as much say in as consumers do.

The insurance companies (including government payers like Medicaid and Medicare) don't just control reimbursement, they control what providers can bill to customers, too. And that includes (by usual and customary charge rules) influencing what they can and need to charge to customers that aren't even being reimbursed by the payer in question.
I wonder how many of the deleted databases are just people learning with databases of dummy data?
Presumably it's a matter of how they combine aspects of the results, focusing on being more useful, as the article explains.

I was thinking exactly this when I stumbled upon your comment, except I figured it should work for any private tab and it'd also need a browser that makes tabs private (and contained) by default.

It's a solution more easily solved by vc companies or government laws, because we're not seeing Google doing that in this lifetime, while FOSS solutions simply won't get the needed traction.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Thus I have no business telling you whether you are wrong or not in your assertion.

However, both its grammar and spelling is incredibly ad-hoc. To someone who is a fan of structure (such as a programmer like myself), this is frustrating. I was going to make a comparison to a programming language, but I came to the conclusion that there isn't really a programming language out there that absorbs everything without making it natural in the adopted framework.

Like you, I learned English as a second language and even though I can speak it reasonably well, I'm constantly annoyed by its idiosyncrasies.

I'm not really sure what I'd find more fulfilling in the day-to-day of salaried employment. In an abstract sense, sure, I could build websites to help orphaned puppies find forever homes instead of to help people find mattresses or whatever. However, if overall impact is my objective, I'm better off keeping the highest-paying job I can (consistent with my values) and donating my salary to charity.

"There is one consensus prediction that is emerging...[WFH]... good thing for workers and welcomed by all."

No such consensus is emerging where I am.

Our computer intensive workplace ran a survey and 90% liked WFH and 80% wanted to do it all or part of the week.

Top reasons for, were time saved commuting, saving $250/month parking fees and ability to deep dive for hours without interruptions. Top against, was young people missed social interaction and impromptu teaching/mentoring moments. (I've told them all I am happy to talk, just line up a time, most do)

The bosses are packing death; they signed a long lease on a building even deeper into the CBD of our city. Also they have to write an email detailing what work they actually want done, not walk over and reel off half a dozen brain farts leaving no evidence of what they asked for.

> Just granting it at random or equally is probably very very far from optimal if it means that an exceptional PI cannot even do the things to push his/her research to the next level.

What does "far from optimal" mean? Let's pretend the allocators are not god-like decision makers (if they are, let's fire all the scientists because our god-like decision makers can do the research for them).

Let's just accept that if we have a large bunch of diverse potential researchers, and limited funding, the best way to get a breakthrough is by funding a random sample of these researchers.

Maybe this sample should be stratified, but it should not be stratified in such a way that it incentives chasing grants (effectively making the grant-allocators the real PIs - with all their flaws and biases systematically driving the process, but without any accountability or management effort on their behalf).

We can't get optimal without unlimited wisdom, and if we had unlimited wisdom we wouldn't need scientists.
I've heard everything he said. I'm well aware of the concept. Again, everyone knows that all mice come from the same place (because it's written in the papers), and that they are very different to wild mice or mice from elsewhere.

I also didn't say we don't have proof that it is a problem. Again, all models are imperfect, but some are useful.

I am telling you what I see as the significance of Weinstein's findings as someone that works in the field.

It is nonsesnical to me that this particular concept is suddenly so prominent because of Joe Rogan, whereas a multitude of other issues with research and human translation are not talked about at all. To me what this is really about is Weinstein's perception of the significance of his findings. He, like a lot of scientists, thinks his work is hugely important and he deserves more credit. Others do not. This happens all the time. The only difference is that he has found a way to disseminate his findings to a non-specialist audience.
The article seems to be conflating GDP with GDP-per-capita. A booming population is an easy way to boost GDP, but a lousy way of growing GDP-per-capita. Conversely, there's no reason "poor countries" can't grow their average worker income by investing in education and worker productivity. The idea that developing nations are "running out of time" is ridiculous - time has really been their best friend in growing their average income.
The issue with helmet design is likely the same one football players face: that the place the impact absorbing material needs to go is between skull and brain. There’s no wearable helmet that’s going to change the result of skull being decelerated or accelerated as the brain keeps going.

A strap or some padding that absorbs fleeting contact with the ice maybe has a chance to make a difference, but there are so few people involved in these sports that testing changes scientifically will be very hard.

> On Feb. 22, 2013, Morris attached an accelerometer to his helmet, then launched his body down a 1,500-meter track at the sliding center in Whistler, British Columbia, which is considered the fastest track in the world and was a venue for the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Bobsleigh has been a feature of the Winter Olympics since 1924 [1]. Yet it might have taken until 2013 for someone to measure its g force on its athletes' heads.

One would think that when something is developed to the point of an international sport, it's certainly been measured. Been tested. But the disturbing or revealing or inspiring truth is, most of our normality has not been scientifically considered.

Yup. As more and more domains centralize email in the handful of mega-corp hosted solutions the hosts have less and less reason to care about accepting mail from outside the walled gardens.

It's not about setting up perfect signed email and all the new techs. It's not about having the same clean IP for a decade. It's just the same old network effect combined with profit motive. The obvious change in the last few years (I've run a mailserver for 9) is managerial not technical.

I think there should be two pools of money, one that is granted at random to anyone who has obtained a professorship at a university, let that be the first filter for competency. The second pool of money can be given to projects that have immediate social interest and impact, and the government can, in this case, be very selective as there should be some social weight to succeeding here.

The first pool is for idea generation, failure is an option. The second pool is to direct invention for social benefit.

If you're not used to it you'd probably not be upset but having an iPhone and Airpods I'd be upset going back.

I switch between my Mac and my iPhone daily so if I had to re-pair to do that that would suck. My guess is many modern alternatives let you pair more than one device at a time which would be another possible solution (better or worse I don't know). Apple's switching sometimes fails for me and when it does it's infuriating since it can end up taking several minutes to fix when all I wanted to do is use the damn headphones.

The tapping is pretty useful too though the features I use (pause/play/skip to next song/backup) are also part of the bluetooth headphone standard so while I can't change them to something else my other bluetooth headphones have the same standard features that I actually use.

This is also one reason I didn't like the Airpod Pro's. Tap is replaced with squeeze. Squeeze requires 2 fingers, Tap works with a knuckle. I can tap with full hands. I can't squeeze it full hands so they effectively downgraded the product with pro.

> Any NAT would be stateful and the communication would have had to be initiated from the cluster.

Only if the router is configured that way - and you don't need NAT to configure it like that. If the router is open then you just set the destination address to the address of the server you want it to go to. (As for getting it to the router you either find a way onto the same segment, explicitly specify it as a routing hop, use ip-in-ip...).

NAT is not a security mechanism. Often the same device does both, but they are separate functions.

It's exactly like that!

I share your frustration, but the obvious rejoinder is that most people don't agree with you. You can certainly target a relatively niche group of power-searchers, but most Google users probably think that the search engine guessing their intent is part of what makes it "good".
Your second and third suggestions will literally kill all research at anything but the most prestigious universities. It is elitism. Graduate students are not always RAs, they're usually not. They often teach, so you're not giving an accurate depiction of the incentives placed on them.

Becoming a graduate student is not easy, the bar is not relatively low, and making it through the program is even harder. It's true that academic positions are not large enough but you're ignoring the private sector.

Research scientists could not possibly be paid enough by universities. These would be graduate students minus the mentorship. A worse of all worlds.
> small children don't understand why daddy is home but can't play with them

This is exactly correct.

My office did work from home Tuesdays / Thursdays even before the pandemic. My wife stays home with our three kids. I tried it precisely once. My kids were grumpy, my wife was grumpier. There is an unspoken expectation that if you are present you should be helping / interacting. I'm sure we could have worked it out, but it wasn't worth the effort.

Having the entire office (5 people, so nothing big) to myself twice a week was pretty nice though. And it set a great precedent so that I've been the only person going into the office the past four months.
> Conversely, there's no reason "poor countries" can't grow their average worker income by investing in education and worker productivity.

Yes, there is: rich countries, and the vastly higher pay they offer the productive. Poor countries investing this way are largely subsidizing rich countries.
These two guys are super smart. But, how are they planning to make money?!
I would think it is better to start with a smaller amount - not zero just to make sure you are getting users who would be willing to pay the real (higher fee) later. Subsidizing to zero only works for those which either have a network effect or ad-supported.

> Bose deliberately made the battery enclosure very difficult to open so that you can't replace the battery yourself. Why do you need to replace the battery? Because if you use them every day, the battery degrades so that a full charge only lasts about 1 hour, down from 20+ hours, within just 2 years.

I've used my QC35 II's 6 to 8 hours a day for 5 days a week for 4 years. They last approximately a full week on one charge; they'd die mid Friday if I used them a lot that week or early Monday if I forgot to charge over the weekend.
