Wow, thanks for this. Around 2005 or so I was super into synthetic biology but have paid almost no attention since. If you told me this was a speculative "letter from 2020" written back then I would almost believe you, it's so jam-packed with the kind of thing we were expecting. (The obvious stuff, anyway--that the Baker lab's protein design work would be an enabling technology. That some kind of design parallelization was needed to replace hand-construction of gene circuits. That logic and sensors would find practical applications in something like cell-based therapeutics.)

Interesting thing about these revolutions and their makers. Back then I actually went and did a first year grad school rotation in what I thought of as a synthetic biology lab--they had published one of the two back-to-back Nature papers that kicked off the hype in 2000. Surely this was the place to be! But pretty quickly I was confused and puzzled by the lack of any late night bull sessions about the future of synthetic biology, the lack of interest in the stuff that Drew Endy and Tom Knight were doing, and the lack of anyone mentoring newbs in the secrets of the field. People who had done synthetic biology projects seemed to be wrapping up or leaving. (Though I later learned that one guy who almost never talked and worked by himself late at night was doing kickass work--he eventually became an MIT professor.)

I even saw the lab attract another wide-eyed synthetic biology enthusiast--who coincidentally I knew from del.icio.us ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23986789 )--as a junior year intern, assign him a non-synthetic biology project, and then regard him as kind of a flake for being so interested in synthetic bio (he later founded a science related nonprofit that got some press.)

Anyway, it took a while for it to really sink in that the same lab could help kick off the field and yet not be "all in". Turns out the lab was basically a vehicle for its ambitious and very politically savvy PI to branch out into different fields. Which is a fine environment to work in! ...For other, more career-minded people, especially ones who bring their own expertise to the table (as postdocs, etc).
To be fair, ZeroTier isn't just "some tool". It has a solid reputation. The founder (api) is actually here in the thread.

Many of the immigration restrictions in america started around the time the first welfare programs were introduced. Before that, it was a bit of a free for all. I don't know if the same pattern holds anywhere else, but I'm suspicious that might not be a coincidence.

Here's a list of radical actions, even if you think these were good ideas I don't see how you can argue they're not radical in the sense that it's outside anything previous presidents have tried to do

- increased military spending to Iraq war levels during peace time
- trillion dollar deficits during boom times
- fired dozens of cabinet members and other top officials whenever they didn't display dictator levels of obsequience to him
- got impeached for using US diplomacy for personal political gains
- tried to kick millions off of SNAP
- had DOJ help states kick people off voter roles
- reduced confidence in the election process
- changed DOJ's long standing definition of civil rights to instead protect religious people and white and asian discrimination
- pulled out of major international agreements with little notice including the Paris Agreement and the Iran deal
- attacked european allieas and weakened NATO
- cut legal immigration in a bunch of ways including cut refugee by 80% and cut H1B. And implemented draconian inhumane policies on illegal immigrants.
- appointed hundreds of extremely ideological judges

(hopefully d ang doesn't slap us down for discussing politics)
That line doesn't prove the point you are trying to make. Where does it say they are opposed to one and not the other??

I think some people have an inherent need to gain influence. To have power over others, tell them what to do. Due to monopolization and centralization, there are fewer and fewer spots to do it in a constructive way (found your own company?).

Except if you claim that you're offended, you're suddenly given the right to control what others say. If you claim that you are fighting racism/sexism/etc, you're shielded from 90% of critique. So this "safe haven" has attracted all kinds of opportunists that just enjoy attacking others to feel better about themselves.

Look at your typical BLM protestors. It's not Black doctors protesting against being treated differently from White doctors. It's unhappy people from both races that have found an uncriticizable cause to justify their own disappointment in life.

I haven’t seen what you’ve seen, so I’m not going to deny your experience/impression, but my opinion is that the only case where the races of those involved in a crime matter are when the crime is racially motivated. And that’s the standard I’ve seen major media adhere to, but obviously there’s grey areas.
If you want every crime tallied up against the race of the perpetrator, I’ve got bad news for you; that’s what the kids are talking about when they take to the streets against good ol’ racism, my friend.

It's a little strange that they didn't even mention in passing plans or even thoughts about single-passenger vehicles.

Because their sort of car-pool thing with no wheel or place for a driver is going to make people think twice at least with Covid right now. Maybe that's why Kyle's video is at the bottom and not mentioned in the article.

I feel like a big issue holding back small pod transport is the fact that vehicles are generally all designed for many passengers and 3000 pounds. And I think a big part of that is safety. The likelihood of death for a really small single passenger vehicle is just much greater with all of these massive cars on the road (generally with only one occupant).

In my mind there is room (especially in places like Texas) for new types of smart cities. And you can build them from the outset with autonomous single-passenger small pods in mind. In my scenario the regular vehicles would need to be parked away in a commuter hub and the transportation in the city would be fully automated. This will save a lot of energy with very small single passenger vehicles as compared to the 5+ passenger vehicles normally taken by individuals around town. And in this city there is no danger of the small pods running into a larger vehicle driven by a human since it's not permitted.

I am actually thinking some of these companies may be doing a redesign where the shared space of the pool cars are broken up into little airtight compartments. Personally I would prefer that even if there wasn't a pandemic.
Not to be insensitive, but we obviously don't know the ones that have killed themselves when they were teenagers or hide their identity and suffer silently.

Transgender people face many issues, sadly with debilitating psychological consequences for many individuals. This isn't because any of them are more fragile, everyone else would struggle just as much in their shoes. But the 'suffering breeds strength' narrative is a very romantic one.
The article also says that he thought the Twinkie looked fine before he ate it. So it seems that by checking how it looked and ignoring the age of the product he was in the middle-ground between his mother (respect the sell-by date) and his father (happy to eat moldy foods) :)
There isn't a requirement, although impossible-to-guess rules tend to be not fun and may lead to complaining, and I think it's common wisdom that the person who devises a rule is often surprised at how difficult it is for everyone else to guess, and simple ones are generally encouraged. (I think that, even among a group of strong mathematicians, a rule like "say 'lucky' whenever you play a prime-numbered card" is medium-high difficulty.) Some difficulty comes from having to remember a growing set of new rules; when playing for a long time, I think people tended to say "start afresh with the base rules" after every 4-7 games.
Linux distributions might be a lot smaller if a) the kernel only included drivers for a single hardware platform, single file system, text terminals, and no network devices or protocols, b) /usr/lib only included libc, and c) everything was still 32-bit.

There are certainly examples of very compact Unix-like OSes that nonetheless offer memory protection, paging/virtual memory, preemptive multitasking, and a system call interface.
These comments remind me of my favorite Reply All episode, in which Alex and PJ team up with the Barenaked Ladies and a studio band to bring one man's epic earworm to life and search to see if the elusive song actually exists. https://gimletmedia.com/shows/reply-all/o2h8bx/158-the-case-....
I also worked on Turbine blades. Specifically did studies on trailing edge dump and pressure side bleeding holes, the air is bled from 7-10th compressor stage for cooling.

3D printing would massively benefit it because more than structural loads, the part is at its thermal limits and structurally it becomes weak as a result. If they can just cool it by 200 degrees, it would be groundbreaking. The trailing edge of the blade is by far the most critical - thicker and aerodynamic efficiency will take a toll; make it razor sharp and it will just melt away.
As some one currently doing an internship this is wait I don't like what COVID-19 has done the workplace.

The question is who defines that threshold. In this case, its a few people at a few tech companies, and I don’t feel like it’s controversial to say that they all internally inherit the progressive/leftist/whatever Bay Area culture they’re largely based in.

Let's be honest - the viewers of the creation / restoration videos do it primarily for fun too. The common creator / community / lurkers ratio split applies to those videos as well. Who's to say that watching creation of something simple is better than watching a hydraulic press ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My wife and I had a real wow moment with Shazam after we’d taken a trip to Germany and she’d heard some music played on a carousel at a park. She had a video of the carousel running and we played it to Shazam.

It was a really awesome moment of technology working for us.

I never said anything about prioritizing the aggressors over the victims. Certainly not. But I think we really need to start thinking, as a society, about how and why people end up in these dark places and how we can change that.

Maybe - maybe - if it were entirely voluntary, it could be okay. But I think you’ll find that convincing someone who doesn’t trust you very much they should take medication to change their minds is also going to be a very hard sell. People generally think they’re right, after all, otherwise they would have different beliefs.

No I don't believe there are no trade offs, I believe a free society is a vastly superior system despite its drawbacks. I'm sure if the United States government did a strict lockdown and welded the doors shut of COVID patients and left them to die, we'd have a much lower case count.

Agreed. I didn't say it's definite, I said it's a strong signal. Even strong signals need to be weighed against other available data.

Apple Maps shows stop signs and traffic lights on the map. A database like that would be another strong signal, but also not always accurate.

"A theory must be tempered with reality" -- Nehru
But why was this article in the New Yorker in 1944? There were thousands of war stories as thrilling or more as the story of the PT 109. The second sentence gives a clue: "Lieutenant John F. Kennedy, the ex-Ambassador’s son and lately a PT skipper in the Solomons...". His story was told because he was the son of Joseph Kennedy, who had been the US ambassador to the UK. And then as now, ambassadorships (at least to pleasant developed countries) were generally gifts to wealthy people like Joseph Kennedy who had helped the current president (FDR in his case) to get elected.
Hmm. Dont see any white paper or design docs on their website. Did i miss it.

In every country I've been to I've seen the same levels of stupid. It's comforting to know that people aren't so different from each other.

But I think that what you are attributing to stupidity would be better attributed to culture, size, or strength of authority -- the countries that have handled the pandemic well score favorably in one of those attributes. Here in the 'states we are strongly individualistic and historically distrustful of government, and bad actors have been stoking those flames for a while so we are in a particuarly vulnerable state right now.

Now, in my opinion, stupidity is humanity's seeming refusal to not act more switfly about climate change, but I'm sure someone else would argue that's attributable to some other, er, attribute

> Composites are the way to go in Airframes

Well, not really - that's mostly an HN fanboi comment.

- composites are often the same weight as aluminum when all is said and done

- composites normally are only good for subsonic flight because of skin heating

- large-area composites require multiple large autoclaves, etc. when normally there's only one.

- composites are more difficult to repair than metal. If a baggage cart hits your composite fuselage or wing, how do you fix that? How long will that take?

Metal is high-tech to me, not composites.

First off: neither I, nor anyone on the internet, is going to diagnose your problem.

That said, speculation (which is what is going on with this article, and what happens, wildly, on the subreddit you mention) is useless. People have been free-associating between symptom and disease on the internet since long before Covid, and the quality of the conversation hasn't improved in 2020. So it's one thing to choose to believe that a group of people are sincerely reporting symptoms they perceive to be true, and something very different to believe their attributions to cause. You can't do the latter based on stories from an internet forum.

Do you have the virus in your brain? It's unlikely, if only because you're not currently dead of viral meningitis. Moreover, fixation on one limited aspect of the immune response (IgG), ignores the fact that the brain has other immune responses. The immune response is far more sophisticated than IgG alone, and humans have been recovering from viral infections for a long time.

If you have tinnitus, it could be any number of different things, ranging from medication (common!) to hearing damage from loud noises (common!) to stress/tension (common!) to post-viral symptoms (rarely). A small percentage of people are reporting similar symptoms after Covid, but then, a very large percentage of people have Tinnitus, in general. It's like the old saying goes: when you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras.

Point is: if you're worried about it, talk to your doctor, not to reddit.
