Some of these choices are bizarre in my mind, including the new number 1, but I can take all of it just to see that they moved all of U2 out of the top 100.

Most overrated band of all time.

I personally like Al Green "I'm still in love with you" (306) and Curtis Mayfield's Superfly (76) more than Marvin Gays' What's going on (1)

To be more sympathetic, perhaps this is more representative of 2020's music critics' demographic shifts, evaluation of pop music history, and changes in the way music is presented to listeners?

Keep in mind that voters are likely to overweight the music they were exposed to as teenagers and young adults (and the influences of that music), and that in the last 40 years pop music has become much less racially segregated than it was in the 30s-70s.

In the time since the 2003 edition, there's been a full generation of turnover; the largely white, rock-oriented baby boomers who ran and were the target audience of Rolling Stone from its founding have largely retired, to be replaced by millennials who, whether or not they are more diverse, had more exposure as teenagers to music by black people that was once relegated to the R&B charts.

To use the albums you listed (which, conveniently, came out within 5 years of each other), of course a reduction in rock's mindshare among critics is going to hurt Sgt Pepper the most. Looking at the Hot 100 today [0] (9-26-2020), and ignoring the electronic music whose forebears haven't had long enough to filter into cultural influence, I see a lot of confessional singer-songwriters and a lot of R&B.

TL;DR: Baby Boomers have lost influence at Rolling Stone in the last 20 years, so the rankings have shifted to meet the tastes and influences of a generation of music critics that were exposed to a lot more music by black people as teenagers.

Both this article and the original post talk about the different "strains" of CoV2. I thought there were no real strains; and that the L/S strain reports from earlier weren't correct?
I agree that we'll see the boundaries between Windows and Linux blur, but I don't think we'll ever see Microsoft give up the decades of backwards compatibility that have kept people on Windows since the beginning. There will always be demand for running older Windows apps (games, legacy business software, etc..) on a modern OS, and I don't think Microsoft will cede that space to a competitor (and with good reason!) It will likely continue to shrink as a proportion of revenue, but it will be worth much more than that to keep it as a toehold to deliver other software and services: Xbox game pass, visual studio, azure services, etc...

> People not being selfish idiots would help one hell of a lot to speed the process and lower risks

In my opinion, not quite. What it highlights is that non-pharmaceutical interventions like quarantines and lockdowns are at best tools (very blunt tools) to slow down the virus. But you can't win against it with them alone.

In this case, negligence, but you can imagine that errors can and will be made simply because we aren't perfect. And the spread will start again.

It is a completely unsustainable strategy on the long run, and that's why countries (at least the ones which can afford that) should look more into pharmaceutical development and therapeutic options.
That’s kind of the kicker. Many are communicating all day every day with the assumption of equivalence to mappings of words to abstractions and largely get by but it is inconsistent.

More or less consistent enough is certainty.

Nuances exist, as well as unknown side effects.

It’s a weird space.
That is the whole point.

If Manning and Assange think that a recipe for fruit salad is a hash of a root password for some U.S. Government computer and then attempt to identify a collision for it, with the goal of allowing Manning unauthorized access: that's still conspiracy.
The mind behind Linux – Linus Torvalds
EEE is not going to have any impact on Linux (and also, EEE hasnt been Microsof's strategy for a while). Once they start extending with proprietary additions, you basically just end up where you were with two operating systems, a proprietary windows and an open source Linux. They can't force the kernel to accept proprietary extensions.
This is mainly an UI issue. Browser vendors were disincentivised to offer straight authentication API both easy to implement for websites and easy to use for users, because it was seen as threatening to users' privacy.

Maybe it is harder than I think, like, why can't the browser maintain an identity/profile and allow me to use it to one-click sign in to any website? But I don't see anyone really trying, only saved passwords hacks. Or it is supplied by Facebook and Google instead of your browser.

I've never used one of these fully automatic coffee makers that didn't make terrible, weak coffee.

Making good coffee isn't expensive and it isn't rocket science. It doesn't even have to be that fresh to still be good. But there are two corners you absolutely can't cut: if you skimp on the quantity of coffee, you waste all you've used; if you skimp on time, you waste all you've spent.

Though I've been drinking black coffee since my teens and never found it bitter when made right. The cream-and-sugar majority might disagree.

Lenders have been doing great lending against btc and other digital assets. They all set up systems to immediately liquidate the borrower and also sell the asset (or hedge against it).

Its the borrower that amplifies their risk.

But if a borrower collateralizes well enough it is much more tax efficient for them.

These are solved problems for 2 years.

And yes, that is an additional example about why assuming there is a capital gain or loss merely from seeing the flow of crypto through a Coinbase account is misguided.

Could be just a tax deductible interest payment to service a business debt in a sole proprietorship. Its simply not up to Coinbase to determine or the IRS to assume either.

Coinbase is getting better about it if you use their own products for staking and earning. (1099-Misc, 1099-K). But they are still doing it wrong for people that use crypto properly and keep personal off-exchange custody of assets.
I think they're overrated but I also like them still. I bet a lot of this is attributed to the fact that it's harder for big labels to monopolize our music choices. Distribution is much flatter. In 10 years I hope this list looks different with more older stuff being rediscovered and new stuff rising to the top.

I think you can generalize this phenomenon to Buddhist enlightenment.

In the UK executive directors and non-executive directors of NHS Trusts need to be "fit and proper persons".

There's a rough guide to what that means here: https://nhsproviders.org/fit-and-proper-persons-regulations-...

In my opinion, companies need to start being more selective about who they appoint. Directors will say they need to be paid so much because they bare a huge amount of responsibility, so it seems fair enough to remove that responsibility for poor behaviours.

> Gutenberg is moving a lot of disparate concepts under the same roof now, and it provides / will provide a uniform, standard way for editing many parts of your site.

yeah, and i hope it'll make the myriad mutually-incompatible page builder plugins die out. yuck. [1]

i'm a bit torn about GB... the goal of allowing tree-ish structures that map to nested DOM elements is great (and something TinyMCE, the old editor, didn't really allow). but the editor needs work. right now, it simultaneously goes too far (everything is a block => editing simple linear text is annoying) and not far enough (editing nodes and moving them around still feels clunky).

and i wish they'd gone with "everything is a node" instead. right now, inline elements are very much second-class citizens – they have to be "formats" within a RichText, a separate non-block thing [2]. they work fine for bold, italics and even links, but they're much more limited than blocks (can't remember specifics now though)

If travelling by ship takes more than 2 weeks, there is very good reason to assume, that they are Covid-free. Also they could be allowed to dock and be required to stay on the ship until cleared by testing. So yes, they have broken the word of the law, but the form of transport should make a difference.
Frankly, I'm more interested in the evidence that it will take five - six years for the travel industry to bounce back to 2019 levels.
That people are so interested in this kind of propaganda is puzzling. No politician goes around conceding or talking about losing during a campaign. Yet a refusal to concede before votes are cast is blown up as if it were a threat of violent revolution. Hillary says Biden should not concede “under any circumstances.” I don’t think she seriously means Dems should rise up in armed struggle. Why create problems that don’t exist?
Yes, the latter escapes any legal accountability to its corruption.

Rolling Stone ratings are made by old timers who rate the music they grew up with higher. It is heavily weighted towards 60s, 70s and cultural impact more than musical value. And I am saying this as a (relative) old timer myself. Sure, music is subjective, and that is why I don’t view ratings like that anything more than a curiosity. More targeted listS like “20 Greatest Death Metal albums” are of much greater value and interest to me because they are more relevant to me personally.
I haven't tasted cola in years; back when I drank it I believed I could tell the difference but today I doubt I ever could. I can tell a pilsner apart from a stout. All whiskey tastes like whiskey, but whiskey doesn't taste like gin.

I don't believe I have an impaired sense of taste. I'm just highly skeptical of the objectivity of my sense of taste. Marketting and branding probably has more influence than anything else when comparing two drinks in the same category (wine-to-wine, coffee-to-coffee, etc.)
No, actually.

Let's say that you've been given a key for a locker at Grand Central Station and told there's a gun inside. We agree that I'll use the gun to shoot someone. You give me the key and I go to collect the gun. In fact, the locker is empty.

The gun doesn't even exist and yet there's still a conspiracy to commit murder.
If it were true in my case for instant coffee, I would be ALL over that.

Instant coffee is not even in the same category as brewed coffee. I am by no means a coffee snob. I do grind beans right before I brew, but they are the lowest priced beans I can find that taste good to me (which is reasonably cheap).

I'd love to just microwave a cup, but that stuff tastes nasty.

This is one of the lessons of TikTok.

Virtually every SV startup asks you to sign up now, provide a ton of information about yourself, and then spam you relentlessly with marketing email.

Part of TikTok's genius is that you just open up the app and you're immediately interacting with the content.

> The way you're talking about it, you make it sound like there's an active vulnerability, not just a defense in depth improvement. They're vastly different.

Please note that I never termed it a vulnerability (whether active or not). I merely called it a security issue – which it was/is because it gives users a false sense of security. I also made that point very clear in my post on Github.

> My previous offer is still on: $500 bucks that you can't exploit this if I link you to a traefik configured in this way you refuse to run it.

Being able to recognize and avoid potential security holes and being able to exploit them in practice are two different things. I think I'm fairly good at the former (in the sense that I'm able to avoid the most common pitfalls) but I have only limited experience with the latter. And while I am aware that in-depth hacking expertise would be very valuable even when examining certain security practices (it's definitely on my to-do list), I don't think it is required to point out basic flaws and potential attack vectors. So as much as I appreciate your offer, I don't think me being or not being able to hack your system implies anything with regards to how secure Traefik is.

Infection Fatality Ratios for COVID-19 Among Noninstitutionalized Persons 12 and Older: Results of a Random-Sample Prevalence Study

You should know there is a coffee machine that can be set by a timer, that take raw beans, roasts them to a set level of darkness, grinds them and makes a pot of coffee. I was given a broken one a while back, should probably get it working and hunt down a source of raw beans.
> If it takes 3 minutes, press start, look at the clock, come back in 3 (or ~1 song later, if that's easier).

Sure. And that's how I cope with life, really. My watch has a bunch of timers pre-configured on it - a Pomodoro timer, a "pizza in oven" timer, a "baguettes in oven" timer, an "instant noodles" timer, etc. But the list of timers keeps growing, and it's mildly annoying that I have to do it in the first place. So my argument here can be somewhat simplified to: in a world with working IoT, I wouldn't have to manage those timers.

> if a task this simple is difficult for you to manage on your own

I never said I can't manage it. I only said it's annoying to have to be waiting on the kettle. One more thing to juggle in your head.

> To each their own (I don't know your life), but in my world, attempting to be "fully focused" every second of the day is a perfect recipe for burnout.

I don't mean to be rude, but yeah, you don't know my life :).

I'm not trying to optimize my entire day to the minute (I actually did try that, I couldn't handle it - I'm not wired for rigid, inflexible schedules without space for randomness). But due to nature and nurture, I require a constant influx of fresh tea (I average roughly a cup an hour). I drink tea while doing the stuff I'm doing. So during the course of the day, it does intersect the times where I want to be focused - whether on work, on a side project, or on my family.

My philosophy of life is one of eliminating upkeep and maintenance work - things that distract me from what I want to be doing. So e.g. I use a dishwasher to spend less time cleaning up after cooking (and save some water too). "Eating good food" is the only goal I care about here - the cooking and the cleaning afterwards are both means to an end, and the less effort they take, the better. Under the same philosophy, I'd prefer if my kettle could be filled and triggered remotely, and flashed an icon on my desktop (or better, vibed my watch) when it's done.

And to be absolutely clear: we're talking ultimate "first world problem" level here. I'm not suffering because I have a manually operated kettle.

Depending on how aggressively you want to pursue the war crimes charges, every single member of the 1st brigade, 24th infantry division during the 1991 highway of death could potentially be found guilty of war crimes. They probably wouldn't be pursued because they were just following orders, but there's an actual precedent that disfavors that defense. Actively killing a retreating or disarmed military force is a big no-no, and it has nothing to do with accidental deaths or collateral damage.

That's possibly a few thousand just from a single incident in the first gulf war, mind you. Even if you only prosecuted the officers involved, that is still at least 100. It's pretty easy to imagine the number hitting the thousands, when you add up all the wars and all of the behavior we have excused.

They measure obesity and find it 0.02 vs 0.01 for vitamin d, which seems a decent enough proxy for lifestyle for this kind of study so your underlying point is valid here. Actually i think the biggest missing control is race.

I went in skeptical even though intuitively being deficient in vitamin d makes sense, this isn’t convincing but I agree with with their conclusion that it’s worth a bigger study.

If someone reading is wondering whether to maintain a healthy level of vitamin D to help if you get covid, yes you should. Should have done that before this study ofc.

Martin’s writing and thinking has been hugely inspirational for me too — thanks for highlighting the automerge work here!

Next, regarding your other thoughts, two notes, one on performance and one on “common themes”.

Re performance: while in my initial comment I linked directly to McSherry & friends’ work on differential dataflow mostly because I value it as a principled and effective framework for incrementalizing many kinds of computation I care about, I would be remiss if I failed to also highlight here their complementary “COST” project of using this framework to demonstrate how carefully engineered (single-threaded!) implementations of graph computations in Rust can often considerably outperform more complex but more wasteful pre-existing approaches (at least in the database world).

(Whether the same flavor of result will also appear over time in the build systems or UI worlds seems like an interesting question for future work!)

Finally, re “common themes in incremental systems”: yes! - this and your point about “fundamental principles” are exactly what I was hoping to suggest by linking to the build systems + OT materials!

Thanks!

The microwave was also the first digital clock we ever had in my childhood home, and was prominent in the kitchen. I do remember it fondly, but then again, we also had analog clocks around the house. It was a hassle to keep them all in sync ;).

But the problem I now see is that a kitchen today can have half a dozen clocks in it now, because a lot of appliances ship with one.
