"For good" is often used to mean a permanent change, but the context here is using "for good" as in an improvement which isn't necessarily permanent. Either way, that is sloppy writing and the intention should have been made clearer with a slight rephrasing like "for the better".

Hmm, okay, thanks, that's reassuring!

To share more on where I'm coming from, one example: when I look at things like Yesod's "Hello world" section in "Getting Started", the first thing I see is 4 pragmas: https://www.yesodweb.com/book/basics and I just don't have much information on what those are, how commonly they're used[0], whether (and why) I need them to use Yesod, etc.

I have a kneejerk reaction to that since I want to be able to understand the code I'm seeing and I'm not sure what's going on behind the scenes. But kneejerk reactions are bad, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt next time!

[0] Well, I definitely understand OverloadedStrings and TemplatHaskell to be very widely used, and think I get their gist.

Do you seriously think he's against encryption for his own class of unfathomably rich peers?

He's against encryption for the commoners, the 99.999% of people not part of the transnational elite, who as we've seen in the Epstein case can fly around and do more or less what they want with both people and money because of connections to "intelligence".
> “There was an expectation when we launched this that it was not a law-enforcement system, Says Erik Caldwell, deputy chief operating officer for the City of San Diego. “That’s true; that’s not the primary purpose,” he adds. “The primary purpose is to gather data to better run the city.”

The doublespeak is comical.
Looks perfect, thank you!!!
Is that so? There was a period during industrial revolution, where people were hopelessly overworked but before that most people must have a had fairly well defined work-life boundaries.
The only association i have with the drink is Roald Dahl’s autobiography Going Solo, in which he alternates among flying against italians and germans in the battle of athens and trying not to die, getting strafed in his own airfield by germans and italians and trying not to die, and getting absolutely shitfaced with other RAF pilots on a hillside with retsina, and trying not to die.
So what you’re saying is that being against encryption is somehow aligned with the interests of child molesters? How does that work?

The patent application process should at least allow the public to come up with counterclaims. Far from perfect, but imho it would solve a lot. For example: Amazon files a patent application for one-click buying; the public however responds with a small script showing how to implement it, nullifying the patent.

I'd also like to see an official public database where people can post inventions, source code, etc., or an official way to timestamp/sign them. Such services exist right now of course, but afaik they're not official.

This is the absolute minimum that the government can do to make patent law future-proof. A law will only work if people think it's fair.

> And that makes me feel like, for the rich world, we should largely be able to end this thing by the end of 2021, and for the world at large by the end of 2022. That is only because of the scale of the innovation that’s taking place. Now whenever we get this done, we will have lost many years in malaria and polio and HIV and the indebtedness of countries of all sizes and instability.

It is traffic to an extent, but honestly, it is also not having fixed hours now that you remove the traffic. It's easy to just start working whenever you wake up, and not stop working until you go to sleep.

So on one hand I get what you're saying, I personally spent 3 hours per day commuting and I'm so grateful to have put that behind me now, at the same time if I'm overworking now it's mostly because I don't know when to stop the day.

If you’re sure you can make $100m on your idea, it should be easy to find an investor to give you $2m. If you can’t find an investor to give you that much, maybe your idea is riskier than you thought and therefore not actually worth that much.
Yet another take. If this is, as you state, just a call for proposals, why in the world are they asking for an irrevocable and transferable license to participants IP that could last up to two years?

> A fifth of the US population lives outside of big cities. That's not a big fraction, but it's a small fraction of a very big number. Being able to capture that market even for a decade would basically bankroll SpaceX's Mars goal by itself.

That's about 25 million households, or about $150 billion gross revenue (not profit) over a decade at the price assumptions you give.

If SpaceX’s public estimate of total Mars program cost of $10 billion was reasonable, that might plausibly fund the program. But it's highly dubious that that is even on the right order of magnitude.

One thing I find funny is that the production rules engines that we have today (Drools, Clara) are dramatically better than the ones we had when production rules were popular (e.g. CLIPS, eMYCIN) Today we have improved RETE algorithms, hash indices, etc. Production rules only seem to survive in a few niches, one of which is inside banks, another is complex event processing.

i use to use these a lot but now it's just useless
I know you're forming a rational argument, but of course what it "means" is obvious from the video: It's just the arbitrary punchline in the typical bit: "I'm going to support [murder|violence|hatred|oppression|racism|sexism] against my political enemy - but it's just a joke! If you criticize me you're dumb!" He could have chosen anything for the "it's just a joke!" part - he happened to choose a strained analogy.

However, note well that, aside from his obviously being immoral, it doesn't ultimately matter what he "meant" as much as what his crowd heard, and how they reacted. This particular crowd's lust for killing democrats is above board, and this may be a tiny sample, but it mirrors the stream of hatred and desire for violence that we normally only hear in such undisguised words on the internet - and occasionally in person - from "normal people" (i.e. not leaders or other speaking personalities).

I sometimes wonder if there are leaders who, upon doing or saying something evil, hear the reaction of their constituents, and feel any remorse/disillusionment when they realize exactly how "not a joke" the hatred is. Another example was the guy who viciously attacked the journalist who was persisting aggressively - did he feel any guilt inside? What about when he saw his constituents explicitly applaud his violence in the following days?

I find I learn a lot from Twitter, HN and Reddit

Are these learnings useful in your daily life and career? I too have learned a bit from these sites but I really do not know if that knowledge is useful in practice. Sure one can argue that our ability to think and connect things improve, any knowledge is useful etc and there is some truth to it. But at what cost though? Looking at the amount of time I spent on Reddit over the years, anything I might have learned seems miniscule. ROI is so low.
Thanks. That thread wasn't very good - perhaps because of the hacky title (which the thread duly complains about). Let's see if this run is better. Early results are...mixed.
By “attack” the authors mean figuring out ways to trick the network into classifying things incorrectly. For example, you might attack a network that recognizes faces by determining certain inputs that still are recognizable as faces to a human, but not to the network.
I agree. It's not just cars, it's also smart phones, expensive watches, clothes, and so on. At the same time, it is what provides a fake boost of the ponzi-scheme economy. Without all of this wasteful consumption there would be no SP500.

For me standup meetings are not a part of agile. The latter is more of a minset, how you go on about things. Everything else, standups, scrum boards, epics, story points, squads, retros etc. are just tools that might or might not be useful for a team. You can be agile without them, and you can not be agile with the entire array of buzzwords.

I think there is an useful status update component to standups. Not to your boss, to have a shared view among the team what the state of the product is. But this has to be aligned with how fast to product is meaningfully changing. Some times this might indeed be daily, but otherwise it quickly becomes just noise.

Of course some managers think the product has to or can meaningfully change every day.

I agree, that if you do them you should make them about exposing problems.
Yeah, for me. But it is definitely not true for lot of people. My friends would drive long and through traffic to get some rather average restaurant food but cooking is pain.
Well it's all pretty muddy, but so far i think Epstein was expendable.
As i just wrote there are a myriad of links to "intelligence" and a larger structure.

If people are interested go to the Epstein subreddit take deep dive - most likely it was a classic honeypot operation to blackmail high ranking politicians for political gain or for some industrial complex - not a lone wolf with a back story that makes no sense in isolation, suddenly getting rich without anyone knowing why.

Fusion splicers are very expensive, under $10k is the cheap end. ISPs own them of course for field work but home installs are often done by small independent contractors (one-person companies are common) without the budget. The situation has improved a lot over the last few years, but historically fusion splicing was such a delicate process with sensitive equipment that ISP crews would pull around an air-conditioned trailer just to house the splicer and its operator. Actually these trailers are still the norm, but the machines have also come down in price and up in flexibility so they aren't so necessary any more (but I'm sure it still really helps productivity to have your tools on hand and not be dripping sweat on the workspace if you do this all day...).

But in any case I find it more likely the installer was using an inspection probe/microscope to verify a field assembly connector than actually splicing. Most field assembly methods don't require a microscope but it's common to use a specialized type of microscope to check the correctness and quality of the face of the connector before use, to avoid future callbacks, which said independent contractor will be penalized for.

The collapse of the fashion industry does not mean the clothing industry will collapse.

People still need clothing obviously (cheap and of good quality preferably).

Also, what do we consider the fashion industry exactly? Most long term clothing trends seem to be dictated by a couple of factors. Consisting of:

- practicality. Jeans are good example of this. It's cheap and practical clothing that lasts a long time.

- cultural "requirement": clothing that is required to fit into social circles. The shirt would be a good example of this, aswell as the tie.

- Enviromental requirements: This one should be obvious ofcourse, No one wears a wool jacket in abu dabi.

Fast fashion and the fashion industry as a whole seems incredibly wasteful to me. Buying new clothing because of yearly trends is way to damaging to the enviroment for what it's worth.

Updating a Mainframe
while living close to work is ideal I've always vastly preferred public transport to driving, because I could use time on the train for reading or anything else really, so it wasn't really a waste of time.

Driving you need to pay attention and navigating traffic and worst of all stand in a smog filled traffic jam on a highway, which is absolutely awful.
No. Why would it? Given how mild almost all infections are, and that doctors/nurses can routinely save lives from much more serious conditions, it's a strange cost/benefit analysis that assumes it's better to lose huge chunks of healthcare capacity than for some people to get COVID.

Asymptomatic is being used as a different classification than pre-symptomatic in the literature. Asymptomatic means you never develop symptoms. Pre-symptomatic means you haven't yet but will. Pre-symptomatic phase is not long though. Typically just 1-3 days, I think, from the latest literature.

Given the tiny window of time that exists when people are infectious and might not know it, and given the very low likelyhood of a PCR test being done in exactly that time, and given that PCR testing has a lot of problems (e.g. triggers even if your body has destroyed the virus), and given that nurses and doctors are pretty important, I can't see it being useful to actively test in hospitals. It's everywhere by now anyway.
Technology impact of Privacy Shield invalidation – the EU data localization
The “sharp breaking” message needs to be signed with a key that is tied to the license plate of the car. I.e. the authority that issues license plates also signs the public key whose private key is needed to sign these types of messages.

The more difficult question is how to know whether the car that sends out the message is on the same road as you, and not e.g. on the opposite direction of a highway.

You conveniently skipped over the part where they require you to grant an irrevocable and transferable license to your IP for up to two years with the express ability of reproducing and using this IP.

That is not a trivial matter at all. For example, they could take your IP and transfer the license to company B. They could then ask company B to make 1,000 of your widgets for "testing"...which really means using. They could do so for about two years. At the end of two years you have derived zero benefit from a thousand of your widgets being manufactured and used to solve a problem, the market changes, someone circumvents what you created (maybe company B) and you find yourself filing for bankruptcy protection.

This isn't a small matter at all. If we remove this requirement your comment might be applicable. Otherwise, you are posting a comment about something this thing is not.
Most cars are not purchased outright so I'm not sure what your point is.
I guess if you can observe the damaging mechanic at the cellular level that is proof of causation. Rather than just statistical correlation.

All tests that just look for end results without understanding the mechanism would be showing statistical correlation. But correlation is good info. In the real world, you are going to be well off taking statistical correlation to heart. The Romans knew asbestos was deadly long before there was any ability to observe mechanics at the cellular level. All they had to go on was that people covered in asbestos died horrific deaths.

A solution for that is for judges to award costs based on the merits of the case and ability of each party to to pay.

Tricky case where both sides have a legitimate reason to believe they are in the right - no costs awarded. Borderline barratry - full costs awarded.

One FAANG sues another - full costs awarded to the winner. Owner of a small corner shop wins against a FAANG - full costs. Other way round, no costs.

Also to set appropriate levels on what costs can be awarded (kinda like the German model). You want to spend 10M on suing a street market stallholder? Knock yourself out, costs awarded = 10k.
If you are the owner or manager, it’s your job to ensure your business is appropriately funded. It doesn’t matters if you commit fraud, you also get to lose your equity for incompetence.
