Putting aside your insult to medical researchers, it's not that they couldn't account for 20% of body weight. They knew there was fluid around cells, but the tissue sampling method would not preserve it so they couldn't inspect it. With the new sampling method they could see the structure, and realized these are more like connected spaces filled with fluid rather than small individual pockets.

>Although researchers already knew that there is fluid between individual cells, the idea of a larger, connected interstitium — in which there are fluid-filled spaces within tissues — had been described only vaguely in the literature, Theise said. The new study, he said, expands the concept of the interstitium by showing these structured, fluid-filled spaces within tissues, and is the first to define the interstitium as an organ in and of itself.
They invested more, which is not the same as it costing more.
This just shows the importance of day 2 operations. The first step is simply having the ability to collect the metrics, making those metrics actionable is the "leveling up" that it takes to run an application on Kubernetes.

Also, big +1 for the prometheus queries in this post. I still am trying to get my head around PromQL
That does not sound low-code at all. Sorry if that sounds critical, but does it really work well?
Multi-container will break any SSO experience that depends on cookies, where the sso domain (abc.sso.com) is not pinned to a container, and the destination domain (abc.com) is pinned to a container, due to the correct behavior of not allowing cookies to be copied into the container when the SSO chain of requests traverses from abc.sso.com -> abc.com.
But being an SPA I'm sure it's a billion times more manageable for them to maintain instead of a javascript hack nightmare.

> Reinforcement learning is Turing complete [1], so if AI is possible at all, then it can be realised through RL.

This seems like overstating your point. Nobody has been able to rigorously define "AI" yet, so there's no way of saying whether it's possible with a Turing machine architecture. The human brain, at least, doesn't seem that similar to a Turing architecture. Neurons don't carry out anything like discrete operations.

Maybe it's possible to run AGI on a Turing machine, maybe it's not, but there are more options than simply "possible with a Turing machine" or "completely impossible".

RapidAPI Testing – Test APIs from Development to Deployment
Sure: First run Talon on both sides. Then go to your talon home directory (click talon icon in tray -> scripting -> open ~/talon). There's a draconity.toml file there.

On the Dragon side, you need to uncomment and update the `[[socket]]` section to listen on an accessible IP.

On the client side (Mac in your case), uncomment / update the `[[remote]]` section to point at your other machine.

You also need to make sure both configs have the same secret value.

From there, restart Dragon and look in the Talon log on the Mac side for a line like "activating speech engine: Dragon".

To prevent command conflicts, I recommend setting Dragon to "command mode" (if you have DPI), and only adding scripts to Talon on the Mac side.

If it doesn't work, you can uncomment the `logfile` line in draconity.toml on the Dragon side, restart Dragon, and look in the log to see what's going on.
> The US has voting directly for the head of state

No, it doesn't. The US has indirect elections for the head of state, but the body which directly elects the head of state literally does nothing else.
I think this hits the core of the problem on the head, that Katzenberg and Whitman thought they knew what millennials wanted, but they simply did not.

They thought millennials wanted "shorter" based on the success of tiktok/instagram/etc. But their content was too long to be short. And the "golden age of TV" we are in basically proves that people don't really want shorter in scripted content. If anything, we want deeper stories. Novellas have never outsold novels. Movies were an outlier for a while, based on the fact it was so hard to produce content, but even movies are now becoming trilogy's+. Youtube is hugely successful because it satisfies niche content, the length is irrelevant.

They thought it should be "mobile", but by limiting it to mobile they meant that you could only watch part of the time. Netflix is perfectly fine on mobile.

The switching back and forth thing feels like a novelty like 1 time then you just do whatever you want and stick with that. Its also hard for creators as you don't know how people will use it, so you have to make it "worse in landscape" and "worse in portrait" so people can watch on either method.

I absolutely LOVE people taking big risks on ideas. This was just a bad idea from the start. I wish they would have blown $1.8B on some shoot the moon healthcare idea or something.
> go ahead and dictate to users the exact manner in which they must interact with your product

Well, Netflix did that for a long time, too. Last time I tried to watch Netflix on Linux it was still impossible (supposedly you can do it now, but I haven't tried in a few years). Restricting modes of access isn't necessarily a death knell.
> the rpi4 is hardly the best in many ways, but it is the one board that likely isn't going to be abandoned in a couple years.

That might have been true once upon a time, but not any more. Once a board is supported by the open source community, it is no longer dependent on vendor updates. I think Armbian has a good track record of long term support, and mainline Debian has a fantastic record of it. The RockPro64 (which I mentioned above) doesn't even require any vendor blobs.

> the ODROID-H2+ kicks the pants off all these devices

That device uses an Intel Celeron processor, and probably more power, and costs nearly twice as much. I don't consider it comparable to a low-power ARM board outside of a superficial sense. (Nice to know it exists, though; it seems like an interesting middle ground.)
> It was mobile first, so I could see how you could argue that a pandemic was bad for a platform built around mobile

This argument would have to ignore the massive success of TikTok during the pandemic.

It's super exciting, but the JIT in its current form doesn't offer the kind of speedup that something like FFI into Rust or C provides. Also there are lots of great libraries in the Rust/C ecosystems that sometimes you need. Fortunately FFI is not hard, and with the relatively recent addition of dirty schedulers and with the Rustler library, it doesn't block the schedulers and it is safe, which were the two biggest issues.
Did something similar a few times when I needed that.

Here’s an open source example: https://github.com/Const-me/vis_avs_dx/tree/master/avs_dx/Dx...
It’s mostly in C++, just a few offline pieces in C# in T4 templates (they produce C++ code).

In regards to video hosting; Should they? When you go to Mcdonalds, should they provide (or be force to) the option for you to buy a Whopper, if not, why should YouTube be forced to? Nothing is forcing users or content creators to use the platform, they simple do because they know that is where the customer base is, and user know that is where content is.

And I agree that most "common" users could use Bing and not know the difference, but then again that destroys the U.S's whole case of a "monopoly" market.

> It blows my mind how you can be smart enough to use Linux

Please don't overstate the intelligence required to use linux. It's not that high.

> ...and still use a proprietary closed source "password manager" on it.

People run plenty of proprietary closed source software on linux. This can include password managers, because perhaps they prefer it. Also a password manager of all things is something most people will need to use cross platform, not solely on linux.

> If it was something unimportant, like a game, ok. But a password manager? The key to all your digital life and secrets...

Games being another proprietary closed source application people run on linux. Games still present meaningful risks to your computing and privacy.

AgileBits is a Canadian company.

A company can be involved and concerned with regards to open source without releasing a product that is open source. Microsoft releases and contributes to a lot of open source software but Windows and Office are both closed source.
The AGPL is designed to be impossible to comply with if any modifications are made to the program which are GPL-incompatible.

That's the purpose of the AGPL.

It's a political tool for the GNU ideology whose intent it is to prevent the free software from being used for building services that are are also built on proprietary software.

Those situations cannot comply with the license, by design.

The AGPL is not about the user freedom at all. The user has no freedom because the user has no administrative access to alter the service software.

The software can do bad things that are harmful to the users, yet fully comply with the AGPL. The users have to accept that, or not use the service. The FSF wants it that if the users are going to be abused by an online service, at least this should be done with entirely free software, and that's where the AGPL comes in.

The AGPL (and copyright licensing in general) is completely the wrong tool for actually doing something to combating the social problem that people are becoming dependent on SaaS that is out of their control.
Pardon my scepticism, but ...... NASA has to get back to the Moon first.

And then it has to do at least one landing per base-station (if not two or more).

Better to install a bunch of satellites to cover the whole of the Moon's surface. Just like the synchronous communications satellites for Earth.
> I not a huge fan of non-obvious acronyms in writings that are intended for a general audience

Yeah, I'm also not a fan of the use of non-obvious acronyms for common phrases, but I think this case is different in that it's more of a concept. It even has a Wikipedia article[1]. Even if they provided the expansion of the acronym in their comment, one might feel that they should also explain a little about the concept before referring to it, since the general audience cannot be expected to know about it. However, that would distract from the point the comment is meant to make.

Since the comment is not about what BATNA is, it's better to focus writing on the point it's trying to get across, even if it ends up limiting the intended audience. Those that are not familiar with it are better served by looking it up, anyways.

uBO/PB make you much easier to fingerprint uniquely due to not loading advertising content on all web requests, which could be considered harmful in a scenario where you don't want to be tracked. Facebook Containers extension offers the same fingerprint as "doesn't have a Facebook account and uses a browser that blocks tracking by default" outside of the container, which is far less unique these days than it used to be.

Note that this doesn't diminish the effectiveness of uBO/PB at blocking requests — but I think most of their users don't realize how much easier it is to identify who uBO/PB users are, relative to the rest of the world on less obvious setups.
This so much reminds me of my company's approach to innovation. First, let's create an "innovation group" whose job it is to innovate. They'll have their own budget. See investors? We're innovating!

Make sure the innovation group isn't comprised of anyone with any experience or expertise in the industry vertical, or any other vertical for that matter. After all, we don't want them tainted with experience! That may interfere with their innovation! They can't be constrained by existing knowledge!

Create a plan for how the innovation group is going to innovate because, you know, we need to show the investors what's being bought with their money. So, let's look at the set of problems that have been bedeviling us and everyone else in our industry for years and lay them out on a roadmap! We're going to solve all these problems!

What you end up with is a group comprised mostly of recent college grads having next to no experience and a group of older grifters who've decided to make a career out of "innovation." Those poor college grads have no clue they're being conned and that the grifters are blowing smoke up everyone's ass until 3-4 years later when little to nothing has been "innovated" they're all let go. The grifters know when to bail, those poor college grads don't. The grifters move on to con somebody else, the college grads meanwhile struggle to find another job.

I've seen this play out several times at several different companies. You'd think people would catch on and it would stop but no one wants to admit they made a mistake. So the grifters con on.

This is all to say you can't plan innovation, just like you can't plan inspiration. You need to have a company culture where people can scratch their own itch and have time and resources with which to innovate if they so desire. It's the same with science - you can't plan discoveries and breakthroughs. You don't know a priori where all the blind alleys are. Failure is useful - it communicates to others where not to look, but no one wants to admit the failures so they don't tend to get published. Therefore we only want to put our money on what we're reasonably sure will succeed, which is risk-averse and here we are. More and more money going in and fewer results coming out.

I feel like the 21st century is all about going through the motions and not caring about the actual results.
They had to go out of their way to prevent videos from playing audio in the background. They're objectively gatekeeping basic functionality behind a paywall, independently of whether anyone feels entitled to those features.

> Yeah, go ahead and dictate to users the exact manner in which they must interact with your product. Don't allow any alternatives.

Apple?
"Mobile first" implies that there's something second. Like a webpage that's optimized for a mobile experience but is also viewable on desktop. This could have been Quibi: they made vertical videos ("optimized for a mobile experience") but they could have also allowed users to view those videos on desktop. That would have been mobile first.
I've been watching Netflix on linux since late 2018~early 2019 (can't remember exactly when I opened an account). Not sure when it's fixed but I had no problem.

Criterion Channel doesn't work on linux though, which I realized only after buying their product and watching a few movies on my Mac. Had I known it I would never have bought since I spend 90% of my time on linux.

The risk to PayPal is that Visa/MC no longer allow PayPal to transact on their network if aggregate chargebacks exceed some percentage.

I don’t know how the exact details iron out but this was a concern when I worked on a payments platform. PayPal enables transactions for merchants who don’t have a relationship directly with Visa/MC and thus are themselves responsible at some level.

The can brag about this as much as they want, but there are huge gaps in connectivity on major routes. Like literally 2G connection.

I ride Luzern-Zürich daily and there are major parts where its terrible, and I believe this is one of the densest lines. Even right in front of Zürich where there is lots of population.

And this not the only place by far, even basic low quality video doesn't really work well on my routes.

Edit: I'm using a different provider, but I am fairly certain you would have the same problem with that one.
And make them GPS while you're at it.
Yes. I think we're agreeing... The costs are prohibitive, so why do check? And if you know you aren't likely to get checked and you're running a study that would be very nice to have a particular outcome, well, wouldn't it be nice to get that outcome? Only, that's not how science is meant to work.
I didn't say I was entitled to it. I said they keep basic functions behind the paywall. They're equally within their rights to make non-Premium viewers watch all the videos in black and white or stop non-Premium viewers from using fullscreen.
I don't think that's the default setting for git merge at least.
From a plane you're usually in direct line of sight to many, many mobile network towers at once.

Mobile phone use is banned on planes because of the interference this could cause with ground based networks.

RIP James Randi, and thank you!

I often think about how brilliantly and carefully the setups were designed, thought through and explained. For example:

Interviewer: “Which pipe was the water running through?”

James Randi: “Well, I'm not supposed to know that! I'm supposed to be doing this in a double-blind fashion. [...]”

Interviewer: “Did he get the right one?”

James Randi: “I can't tell you that.”

Source: https://youtu.be/cqoYrSd94kA?t=1405

The setup in this case was so well designed and explained that the participants themselves praised it:

James Randi: “The tests that were done, were they adequate to the purpose?”

Participant: “The testing, as far as I was concerned, and I think as far as the rest of the diviners were concerned, was done as fair and as square as could be.”

> YouTube doesn't owe anyone a free experience.

Then they should not advertise it as such. I have not looked at youtube ads for a while, but earlier it was definitely advertising "host your videos free, let your friends watch them free from anywhere in the world, yada yada".

If one advertises "absolutely free email hosting" but means "we will read your email, analyze your behavior and sell your information to those who can effectively hound you with ads", people should push back. And "it isn't free to run" is not a valid defense.

> They could lock the entire site behind a paywall to paid subscribers only tomorrow

Sure they can. But that would likely drive most customers away and be a very bad business decision. My 2c.
Isn't the whole pitch that they're bite-sized? So you'll watch a clip on the toilet or while waiting for your turn in the covid test line. Mobile games and most apps are doing better than ever. This whole thing had a very "fellow kids" vibe, so I think the content must have been the main sticking point.
This is all accurate, but people still expect reception and speed when travelling between those dense population centres by road or rail.

Much like Australia, this means providers build the infrastructure to supply those areas but then the cost is recovered from the dense population areas.

Theres also some capatilism nonsense oligopolies thrown in there, but that's the core issue.
All this to build a web app? Useless!

The reason Magic Leap was called a scam is because they demo'd technology that seemed too good to be true and then never produced a consumer product that delivered that demo. That's why people described it as a scam- there was no good faith understanding they could deliver what they promised. Compare that to Quibi where they have a platform, they have the content that they paid for. The problem isn't they promised something they can't deliver, the problem is they delivered something no one wants. It's not difficult to see how you'd pour billions into original content and a distribution platform. Netflix does that. It's difficult to understand how a company can show you a fantastic demo, spend billions on development and then produce a product that doesn't even slightly live up to the demo.
