> Patients do not demand insurers cover anything, they plead, usually in futility. Insurers in the US are goaled on how little care they can provide for the premiums paid, not how much.

Depends, employees at higher end employers have more say. Since health benefits are "feature" employers have motivation to make their benefits package better to attract employees.

Heck one of Microsoft's defining features as a company used to be their health insurance package. Everything imaginable was covered 100%, no out of pocket costs ever.

I'm still completely confused as to how acupuncture is covered by so many insurers though...
Looks like we're both not entirely correct (and probably both skipped the security blog posts!).

In the security blog post, they explicitly say "An origin will be cleared if it [...] is classified as a tracker in our Tracking Protection list" and "[has] No origin with the same base domain (eTLD+1) has a user-interaction permission".

So it's not a catch-all for any and all redirect trackers, just those Mozilla knows about, and whitelists trackers that are first-party in spirit. I do wish they didn't frame it as "we're blocking redirect trackers" but instead as "we extended our tracking blacklist to include known redirect trackers, unless we have a good reason to think you allow them".
> Bought off by whom?

Of course there's the usual shenanigans re: funding, but anecdotally it seems like most people are "bought off" (or coerced) by their colleagues or their selves, and the payment is career success and social approval.

For example: No grad student will invalidate their adviser's career. Very few people challenge the veracity of ubiquitous model systems or paradigms ("measuring $this means $that"). Results are sometimes tailored to be visually appealing. Unexpected results are discarded. The meaning of results can be overstated. An experiment can be set up which is internally perfect but which relies on completely nonsensical assumptions to inform its relation to salient natural phenomena. Etc.

To behave that way is to be a "bad citizen", make trouble for people, lose friends, and never get ahead. And practically speaking, most people who challenge prevailing wisdom are noob grad students who don't even know how wrong they are.

Of course, this happens to varying degrees in different fields. For materials chemistry of steel, it's pretty obvious when the tensile strength is less than reported. For organic synthesis, many published syntheses are bullshit but it's still obvious if a chemical isn't what it should be. For psychology and some of the newer theoretical disciplines (thinking of one rockstar "network scientist" here!), social consensus carries more weight than "reality" because reality is so tricky to measure.
I see how this could be as much fun as Scream Tracker was in 1992 :)
My third paragraph covered that, although less intentionally than you may have wanted. I don't think you just get things that are monotonically better on the one and single "intelligence" axis. I think you get an ever-increasing number of ways to be intelligent. I can easily imagine am intelligence that is great at solving physics but rubbish at dansaeltenzing. I don't know what dansaeltenzing is... I'm not intelligent enough.

But both in this box and in google docs (and so many more places) you have access to the basic emacs C-* cursor movement and line manipulation bindings.

One should really know both vi and emacs style basic movement bindings. Both work in many places, sometimes it's one or the other.

I think Harari is wrong when he suggested gold is a collective fiction. The first metal humans worked with was gold. This happened 40k years ago. Through gold, humans accumulated knowledge and invented metal technologies. We then progressed through metal ages, e.g., Bronze Age, Iron Age. Gold was an icon of metal technologies. It's not just a fiction.

I think a pretty large number of apps read the clipboard to do things like content detection. For example, most map apps will tell you if you have an address copied to your clipboard, which would trigger that message every time you open the app. Though I understand the suspicion, these kinds of features are so common that I’m not a big fan of reading into it very much. That is, unless you are specifically a malicious developer. I honestly doubt that the majority of these features are malicious. You never know for sure, though.
interesting choice of domain name, any background?
> blazing fast

The thing I'm running into recently is that it gets very slow for large files. Unfortunately, where I work, the norm is to have files be thousands and thousands of lines long, which causes my setup which otherwise works fine to become very slow.

It's probably a plugin I'm using, but as you say, it now becomes my responsibility to figure out which one it is. Contrast this with vscode, which works fine out of the box, and already has most features built in.

Planet are looking to offer multiple times per day. Although I think that requires the camera to be slewed and a site targeted rather than being able to cover the whole earth every single orbit.

Remember that cloud cover is really common in a lot of places. The UK in January averages less than 2 hours per day of sunlight. You need enough satellites to image everywhere several times per day to allow for that. And even then you may have overcast weather for several days at a time.

Maybe Ken Thompson and Rob Pike worked on those C++ APIs, too. They certainly don't like C++, but also had to used it, and created Go out of frustration.
For me, writing short prose like emails or internet comments doesn't really require vim keybindings. It mostly requires keyboard for what it was designed for - inserting text.

Editing source code, on the other hand, benefits much more from vim, because inserting text is only part of it.

well no matter what you are trying to say, but without valhalla and other techniques to reduce allocations java will always be slower than the languages the other poster said.

no matter how good a gc gets, if it does need to do double the work of another gc it is not a problem of the gc. it is that too much allocation is needed even for simple things.
java tried to tune their gc over and over instead of just fixing the problem. allocations.

If the rescuing organization is going to ask you to pay for your helicopter flight, they're probably going to ask regardless of whether they got your location from a PLB ping or from "SOS" drawn in the sand.

If you don't use a PLB, you better hope they don't try to charge you for the search flights as well, which don't need to happen if you use a PLB.

> "Status seeking is not going away"

you are correct, but what is high status now may not be high status in the future. For example: it used to be high status to have gout, but not so much now.
Interestingly the international ground air code for requiring help is normally an X or a V.

But I would still write SOS or HELP.

You can imagine the scenario: “Hey Jane check out that - looks like a V in the sand” “Heh yeah”. “Weird”.

or

“Hey Jane does that say HELP?” “Heh yeah. Wanna check it out?” “Yeah let’s take a look”.
links opening in the same container is the default behaviour ... what precisely are you doing that this isn't working?
I will say - I do understand why they did it, because nobody told anyone toilet paper was useful or important with the virus and look at how that went out of control. Just think if they suggested masks or even “face coverings” - people would definitely have saturated the market.

However it did suck as that helped cement some anti-masker excuses early on.

Hard to tell if there is any winning in that situation. :(
> I only end up with 4 dimensions

I think you're right. Even if we classify classical Chess as 3D (2D board + a time axis for game states), time travel re-uses that same time dimension.

If you wanted to shift the complexity into ludicrous speed (this is inspired by archgoon's comment [0]), you could introduce another dimension by putting a classical chess board inside each square of the 4D board. The 4D move only succeeds if you win the game on the mini-board. Just, please, don't bring recursion into this, unless you're captain Kirk and absolutely need to nerd-snipe a rogue AI. (“They've gone to plaid!”)

There's another possibility I've hinted at by calling standard Chess ‘classical’. On second thought, let’s not go to Quantum Chess. 'Tis a silly place. (I tried to imagine what a Schrödinger's king would look like. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Queens checked en passant from the future. I watched knigths glitter in the parallel time-line near the Hadamard Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to resign.)

The power of wasabi isn't really the smell so much as it is a chemical interaction between allyl isothiocyanate and TRPA1. So in that sense it is more similar to the heat from a chili pepper than it is the aroma of something. I'm not positive, but I don't believe there is age related reduction in feelings of heat from capsaicin.
It's not a riddle. We usually give a very detailed explanation on the whiteboard.
Here are some example inputs and outputs.
45 -> 1625
36 -> 936
10 -> 10

Honestly this one is really to help us look at a person's thought process because there are multiple approaches to solve it. Usually people either go some variation of math route or a string manipulation route.

Examples of Programming Riddles I have seen first hand:
How to invert a binary tree.
Implement a binary search algorithm.
Design an app that generates all possible phone numbers that a knight chess piece could create by moving across the dial-pad.

Those are riddles. This is not.
A lot of Linux systems (most as far as I know but could be wrong) actually ship vim but in a very stripped down build and set up to run in vi compatibility mode by default, e.g. vim.tiny on Debian and Ubuntu. BSD systems often use nvi, which is quite close to the original vi, and can feel very weird if you are used to vim.
That ironically isn't true - it can work well for reasons seperate from good decisionmaking even when excluding incentives as a component (democracy gives a wider array of relevant interests in decision making).

For one democracy is a good pressure relief valve - far from the monarchist fears they were way more stabme compared to the regular secession civil wars of monarchies and rebellions. Election results let a potentially hotheaded minority faction know "you won't win you know, you got only 30% of the vote - let alone what percentage would actually fight for you. You are outnumbered so chill, campaign, and wait for the next election".
There's a good argument to be made for the Internet as not the sum total of human knowledge. But rather a very temporal view influenced by search engines and social media.

Content business models are temporary. Why would anyone keep high-quality, non spammy knowledge freely available? Ad revenue is drying up more and more, there has to be another angle? And who's to say whatever business model they think of won't change in 5 years, the company acquired, or something else...

I mean... Rust literally doesn't have a GC, in the usual sense -- certainly nothing resembling most GCs' generations, mark, sweep, etc. approaches.

Steve lays it out far better than I could, coining the term "static garbage collection": https://steveklabnik.com/writing/borrow-checking-escape-anal....

And to your "without pretty significant extra work" qualifier: I really don't find that to be true with Rust. The initial learning curve was a bit rough, but certainly far less so than other languages/platforms I've picked up (hello, ML). In the end, I find that it's just a nice, helpful, productive, and ludicrously performant language.

Do people really sing the praises of File? Or, do they curse its many and dangerous rough edges?

Like you I read this proposal through that lens, but I actually don't see a line from Google's File abstraction to this. Is this Go abstraction really forward-compatible with cloud-native filesystems? And when I say forward compatible I mean would it work with Google's decade-old Colossus? I think it isn't because it puts Stat in the required interface and Stat returns FileInfo, many of the fields of which might be meaningless in a cloud filesystem (like mode, which is a unixism, and IsDir, which doesn't make sense for non-hierarchical filesystems).

If you can't tell I'm not much of a fan of trying to abstract over filesystems. Mostly they don't resemble each other at all, except in some extremely high level concepts.

And if you still insist on having an app, you should be using a third party one anyway. The official one is simply not a good experience in my opinion.

Although now that I think of it, maybe that's not such a good idea if you're using Android, given the lack of moderation on Google Play. I don't know what the third party Twitter app ecosystem is like on there, but I'd be cautious and meticulously vet the developer of any app you're considering trying.

This anecdote illustrates how the market could be seen as a big society-level pump and dump scheme. The guys at the top invest early at a low price, then pump the investment downstream as much as possible, then dump when things start looking too much like a bubble (i.e. "the shoeshine boys start giving stock advice"). If enough people at the top dump at the same time, the bubble bursts and there's a crisis.

Even if some of the guys at the top couldn't get out in time, they are unlikely to get ruined by playing the game. The guys at the bottom on the other hand, usually end up literally paying the price for their risk-taking.
Presumably there’s enough surface tension from both sides to hold it between the gaps and resist gravity (if it’s a vertical CPU).

Pretty much any Solid-liquid-solid or solid-solid-solid interface will be better than solid-roomTemp&Pressure gas-solid.

The whole point is to conduct heat better than air, and most things will.
The best thing about Go is how things are designed thinking ahead in the future and avoiding hypes.

Instead of a language with more features than one can count, we have something really concise, yet powerful. This is something I miss a lot about Go and I think can perhaps even have a greater impact than generics for most people (at least I feel like this is my case), yet this is only being considered now after ideas matured in the community and people developed ways around it (see https://github.com/golang/go/issues/35950).

The outcome will probably be something that will be robust and stable and once in the language will likely last a long time unchanged without feeling awkward.
Gold is not simply a shiny metal or a collective fiction. I think many historians (e.g. Harari) got this wrong. Humans first learned how to manipulate metal through gold around 40k years ago. It sparked the metal industries that advanced human civilizations. Humans progressed through Bronze Age, Iron Age. Gold was an icon of metal technologies. Its use as money probably predated written history.

If you read fast enough that was a legit thing that could happen.

I also remember how terrible forums were until a few generations of AJAX happened. Massive sites could afford beefy servers to make forums not suck, but everywhere else things were pretty bad.
