As far as I can tell, the person who actually leads the Gates Foundation health division is Trevor Mundel. Even then, the work of the Gates Foundation has been in funding projects lead by other organisations, rather than in implementing those projects themselves.
I imagine because they've been focused on GraaalPython https://github.com/graalvm/graalpython ?

From what I can see in ZipPy it's leveraging Jython at least partially, whereas graalpython wasn't (presumably written as a fairly clean implementation?)
It’s strange to me that more domain-specific search engines haven’t been created. There must be value in a programmer-specific search engine for instance. Or why aren’t there search engines that specialise in news, social media, Q&A websites or events, to give a few examples.
I also recommend The Shadow Peace, a short 14-minute video analysis on the utility of nuclear weapons and their role in our modern era of relative peace: http://www.fallen.io/shadow-peace/1/ (unfortunately no HTTPS)

It's a slightly more optimistic take on the tragedies of the 20th century.
* A rousing public speech is very different from actual policy. A sibiling comment to yours make reference to a plan by the Japanese, made in secret and actually started, that was known to cost millions of Japanese lives and wasn't even meant to secure victory but just better surrender terms. Your quotation doesn't come close to showing that the British would be prepared to do something similar. (In fact I'm sure I read about a plan Churchill had to surrender if Germans did make it onto British soil, but I'm not going to search for it now - the burden is on you to show that the British wouldn't have surrendered.)

* Aside from broad policy, the difference in attitude is clearly shown by actions of individual soldiers. Individual Britons in theatre would usually be prepared to surrender if their situation was hopeless, as shown by the number of actual British PoWs in WW2, whereas this was much rarer for Japanese soldiers.
Parents connection doesn't mean you will get the business out of personal experience it can even lead to the opposite to avoid being blamed for nepotism.
It mostly happens using "site:" queries which I use frequently to limit things to local websites (by domain) or for searching sites that have poor search engines (Amazon, for example). It rarely happens the first query, but often by the third or fourth modification or by the third or fourth page of results you visit, it will show a reCAPTCHA if it doesn't have enough "randomness" or doesn't think you're actually browsing Google and third-party sites the way others commonly do. (Robots are more likely to use search operators, for example, and more likely to pretend to be iPhones so they don't have to move the mouse, etc.)

My earlier query triggered it. Without a query, I can make the following text show up by going to https://www.google.com/sorry/index which when a relevant query is attached to the URL, it shows a reCAPTCHA for the search query, and also shows your IP address, etc.

The annoying part is that my account has never been whitelisted based on good behaviour. Instead, I end up seeing such reCAPTCHAs thousands of times a year, to the point where I stop counting them. Roughly half the time I'll answer the reCAPTCHA and the other half of the time, I'll close the tab and go do something else. Cloudflare site loading captchas are even worse, though. They delay the site by 5 seconds while they "check my browser", and then show an hCAPTCHA to solve, even when I'm already signed in with the first-party site. Very annoying, though the captcha is often easier to solve than Google's. The Cloudflare block often on streaming media websites. Ironically, Cloudflare's captchas have never prevented me from using commonly available Python scripts to watch streaming flash videos in VLC, they only block my web browsing...

I can only assume that Safari's excellent ad blocking and tracking prevention is causing my browsing traffic to stand out compared to others', enough that it prompts these CAPTCHAs more frequently.
His foundation is one of, if not the leading actors in the world in this field, and Gates himself is very involved in the work.
Regardless of how entitled and axe-grindy a reviewer is, if they post a screenshot of an email written by the sole proprietor of the business telling them to fuck off and die or something similarly toxic, don't you think a lot of people would consciously avoid doing business with a person like that? It probably wouldn't help.
there are tons more than 5 styles for guys (workwear, techwear, superfuture, dark, etc)
but strongly agree that there are enormous differences in male vs female clothing trends.

Male fashion is on something like a 10 years cycle and you can find tons of brands focusing on quality or durability.

Female fashion seems to obsess about the latest trend and change dramatically every 3-months to a year.

Probably lots of cultural bias there, not sure how much this applies in all countries.

I kinda hope that fast fashion is not what's going to survive, between ecology and employment practices, they are not really my favorite.
What about fairness to existing residents.
My preference is to buy full black jeans and shirts, 10 at a time. They look good and don’t go out of style. No insecurity when going outdoors and tons of cognitive load freed up for other stuff every morning. Instead of having to choose an outfit every morning... It’s too exhausting to keep up with trends ;)

> It’s deeply unrealistic to expect customers to change their viewing habits and buy new devices for this.... People using Roku devices to watch HBO on a large television are not going to switch to a tablet or phone.

How do you know this? are there any statistics on this? Are you going to bring your Roku TV on the tube on the way to work? You can use your phone to watch HBO Max. I had no problem switching between my laptop and my iPad, I just did it today?

> “Just get another device” absolutely is not a feasible solution for most customers affected by this.

Well, it solved my problem, what is yours? because I don't see yelling at HBO to support 4% of a userbase a productive use of my time. I normally see people watching their devices anywhere they please, it isn't like they are shackled to Linux are they?
What if it becomes so commonplace you no longer have a choice to buy a device not connected to the internet? and if it's not easy to disable the modem?

Right now it's already hard enough to have a smartphone's software not spying on you.
I’m curious about this. Can you give an example of the kind of query you are talking about where Google assumes you are a bot and not a human?
My thought was more of the dramatic shifts in fashion which can follow a sudden political and economic shock, as with the French Revolution.

Fashion evolves toward ever greater complexity as a Veblen status-signalling good, then recapitulates. Often it is lower-class wear which emerges as the new standard, then progresses through the cycle again, often being elevated to the status of elite wear: dinner jackets, morning coats, longe suit, three-piece suit, dungarees, designer jeans, button-downs and khakis, etc.

Several of those transitions followed major shocks: WWI, Great Depression, WWII, the Civil Rights and anti-Vietnam movements especially. The 2001, 2007, and 2020 economic panics similarly, though the last most notably IMO.

(Arguably Fast Fashion was a business response to the 2007-9 crisis.)

The fast-fashion trend seemed heading for a fall. Covid-19 delivered the kick.

Worth pointing out if you do some of these crafted operator searches quite quickly, you'll end up getting blocked or having to complete a captcha. I haven't done so in a while so I'm not sure what their current behaviour is.

Main reason being there's plenty data mining, e.g. looking for "powered by wordpress" and vulnerable versions, and generally all kinds of data mining that involve very specific requests for information, likely queries that aren't creating revenue, either.

You can organize resistance on all levels. People who put their life on the line for others can coordinate inside the country and with forces outside of the country. This is a huge danger to the ruling group since it is only a small minority and many people get not only their freedoms taken away but also their riches. Therefore before establishing a fascist government you must first control communication to a high degree to be able to suppress opposition effectively.
> horrors of the Japanese war machine, and maybe actually more the non-horrific but relentless robotic support for the war (or obedience towards the emperor, government, etc) among the people

When you think of the black ships of the Perry expedition, and then forward to the Japanese attack on England's Hong Kong colony, the French colonies in Indochina, America's colony in the Philippines (and Hawaii!) - then you see the above blurb is a perfect encapsulation of the western bourgeois mind.
AFAICT, the verbatim option gives the same results as if I'd quoted my search term?
Japan had actually repeatedly offered conditional surrenders. Specifically, surrenders on the condition that it keep some of its colonies (Korea and Taiwan), that the Japanese military government remain intact, and that nobody be charged for war crimes. This is as if Germany offered a surrender on the condition that it keep western Poland and Czechoslovakia, that the Nazi party remain in power, and that nobody be tried for war crimes. This is not remotely close to an acceptable surrender.

And the US ultimately did accept a surrender on the condition that the imperial family not be tried for war crimes (a particularly contentious point for China, since a royal family member was the commanding officer in charge of the forces that perpetrated the crimes at Nanking).
> Really, how useful was a 2g (Edge) iPhone without a wifi connection?

Very. Lots of sites had mobile versions of pages by the iPhone's release. These were originally intended for Blazor and pocket IE but they worked fine for an iPhone on EDGE. I could do e-mail just fine on EDGE as well.
My experience, after buying a monitor for home for the first time in like a decade and getting a very nice 27" HP z27 4K: it's... fine. I think I'd need like 5 more diagonal inches before I could really fit more on it than I can on a lower-pixel-count 16:10 monitor the same size. Because of the way scaling works, what I want is everything scaled to about 1.5x, but that's computationally expensive and/or looks bad, so in practice I run at 2x anyway, so the benefits in stuff-on-screen aren't really that high. I can keep fonts set a little smaller I guess.

I kinda regret not getting 2x 1440p monitors with similar picture quality for less money.

Meanwhile it makes using Linux a giant pain in the ass, unless you go all-in on a major desktop on a major distro, and then also get lucky. Possibly I'd have a better opinion of it if I were using it with macOS rather than Win10 and Linux.

[EDIT] and OMG lacking auto-temp-control based on surrounding light has me really wishing I'd just put the monitor cash toward an iMac. Way more eye strain.
Sounds like those guys are either fortunate to be able to live on one persons's salary or they feel comfortable returning the kids to daycare.

A tip for surface cabling without major digging for houses with baseboard is to use a router to make a channel in the backside of the baseboard and just run in that. I've seen electricians in the US do this for outlet wiring, in addition to phone/data.

> Commuting is almost entirely driven by city centers and population density that inflates real estate/rent costs so high

It's actually lack of density that inflates the costs. Nearly every major US city has zoning laws that keep density much lower than what the market would support, which artificially restricts supply and increases prices. If city cores allowed increased density, housing costs would be lower in both the city and the suburbs, and as a bonus, fewer people would need to drive.

Reversed Stupidity Is Not Intelligence (2007)
To meet the first American invasion of their home islands, the Japanese had 10,000 kamikaze planes prepared. They had millions of civilians prepared to serve as suicide bomb carriers against the allied ground troops.

Let me know if the British prepared troops and civilians to use suicide as a weapon against a German invasion in any significant quantity.

Thanks for that resource, that is really interesting!

Although I'm quite new to the SAT field I have to say I am quite impressed with the performance of cutting edge sat solvers. Looking at the source of some of them (like Glucose) I don’t see that much low-level trickery. I wonder how much down the stack one could go to try to get more out of their processors.
Why would you get stuck, though? I'd assume that you can jump off. The high speeds part is risky, but if you don't go fast (15-20km) I assume you should be ok?
The “public APIs form an immutable, irrevocable contract” argument means that an api layer with these tenants is always going to be a source of technical debt. Get it right the first time or fight an ever growing compatibility matainance war - even when your instrumentation is saying that old apis aren’t being used, just published, seems like a footgun

Yeah, not a fan of sitting in traffic (commuting is actually entirely fine if not for the traffic), but I LOVE my car- it allows me to go anywhere I want whenever I want, and it allows me to make forward progress by leaving the past behind and going somewhere else (physically and metaphorically true).

I see all the talk of higher density living without car ownership as primarily driven by corporate interests to keep labor more concentrated and more easily controlled (secondarily driven by cohorts of people who haven't experienced anything better than that and therefore wanting to keep status quo), at the expense of quality of life for the average person. The monied interests wouldn't care one way or another in lowering this standard of living, but I'm surprised to see how many ordinary citizens get swept up by the rhetoric.
Would you mind sharing concrete numbers? I can't imagine that Vulcan is going to cost that much more than an Atlas V. Even if SpaceX reduces their prices by 80% compared to what they charged during EELV, a $100 million difference seems unlikely to me.
I grew up in Dorking, but this is the first time (that I can remember...) that I actually read its wikipedia article.

I believe this can work but please be careful doing this! Tool batteries are capable of supplying very high peak current and could cause a small fire. Lithium ion battery fires are not trivial, water alone may not be enough to stop it.
Given that the Japanese military wanted to continue the war even after both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, your conjecture is demonstrably untrue. Remember, the military was the primary power in the Japanese government, second only to the emperor, and were the driving force behind starting the war as well. Also remember that the firebombing campaign across all of the other major cities had already inflicted combined casualties far greater than Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined; immense deaths of their own civilians was seen as an unavoidable necessity to defend their homeland.
not op but brands like visvim are way more affordable if you are in Japan.
Less expensive brands like OrSlow or TCB are also more affordable in Japan (there is a wealth of fashion brands in that country).

>I think Japanese fashion is less about the clothes themselves than the acceptance to let people wear what they want and and not judging.

In my experience this mostly applies if you are young. At a certain age you are more or less expected to start fitting in the mold.
> AR glasses for example, could totally upend all of this and require 5G low latency

5G "low latency": I'm not impressed with "1-2 ms" first hop latency; 0.1 ms should be achievable by now, surely.

AR over networks: Maybe. But I think having more compute out on the edge nodes is going to deliver more for us in the long term than faster comms.

Every extra millisecond in the rendering pipeline decreases the usability of AR significantly.

I guess the opposite is true if you're the one dominating conversations :-)
> this is really odd but it is even more odd how governments are unable to work on long-term topics unless shit hits the fan.

Not so odd. This is a common human behavior. We humans are very slow in responding to low probability but high impact events, especially if they require coordination.

E.g. upcoming climate disaster ("climate change" is a euphemism at this point), or nuclear weapons stockpile and the military systems which are effectively a dooms-day device for humanity.

At a smaller scale, various preventable accidents like Beirut explosions or most industrial accidents.

Ironically, a well functioning bureaucracy is one of the best answers, as you can see from Taiwan or South Korea's preparedness and response to COVID pandemic.
> walking or cycling cannot cover the distance that a powered vehicle can

The whole point is that in a dense city, you don't need to cover a long distance. 75% of car trips in NYC are under 5 miles, which is an easy distance to cycle with proper infrastructure.

It's cockroach-specific poisons. The building management probably deployed one of the new ones. They're incredibly effective compared to the older style, as much as 500x better.

The problem with cockroaches is that they'll eat a small amount of something, throw it up, and then avoid it. Even if you just barely kill one, it'll just die, and its hundreds of children will replace it.

Modern poisons are tasteless, odourless, and aren't directly poisonous, so the cockroach doesn't feel bad and doesn't throw up. It can't learn to avoid it. These chemicals are designed to be converted into a poison by an enzyme in the body of the cockroach, slowly. This means that the chemical is basically harmless to pets, humans, and other animals, but lethal to this one insect species. It also allows the roach to consume hundreds of times a lethal dose before starting to succumb to the effects. When it does eventually throw up and die, any other roaches that consume the vomit (I know, eww, but apparently this happens) are eating the precursor, not the poison, and once again can easily consume many times the lethal dose. This has a multiplying effect on the efficacy, as roaches will often throw up and die in their nest, poisoning their entire brood.

As anecdotal evidence: I had WiFi and 4G in my previous apartment, but roaches everywhere. I deployed the roach bait gel, and they vanished. My new apartment has 1 bar of mobile reception, but there are no roaches anywhere because here the building management gets an exterminator to put out roach poison gel.

That's probably why you've seen the roaches disappear: the marvels of modern chemistry, not physics!

Offering to surrender conditionally. Specifically, on the condition that it keep Korea and Taiwan (and maybe Manchuria, too), and that it's military government remain largely unchanged. This is was not a surrender that was acceptable to the Allies.

This thread is being rate limited, reply in edit:

Denying Korea and Taiwan is easier said than done. Remember that Japan essentially won the continental war against China. It's best equipped and most experienced troops are there. Japan is also in an optimal position to control ocean access to Korea. Any boats have to travel through the East China Sea, or sea of Japan to reach Korea. Both of which are in range of the thousands of kamikaze planes built for the purpose of destroying vessels that sail close to Japan.

At this point, you're talking about conducting an invasion of a landmass even larger than the Japanese home islands, against better troops, and with more difficult naval access. It would undoubtedly incur substantially more losses than the 100 to 200 thousand inflicted by the atomic bombings. And to what end? A hostile military government would still be in power back in Japan.
