I like the idea, but the author doesn't seem to care enough for the root cause of dissinformation. That is, at it's core, the existence of conflicting interests. Because if literally everyone was on the same page, there wouldn't be a reason to lie about anything (of importance), right? Although distributed fact checking sounds like a good idea (however problematic it could be, even in a world without interest conflicts) how does the author prepare for the inevitable moment when a lie will get the seal of a Fact™ because big players push towards that direction? How would you protect your ecosystem against that? You are back to square 1.

Communism and nazism (national socialism) are two sides of the same coin. Both rooted in the same collectivist ideology where life on an individual is meaningless, always ready to be sacrificed for the "greater good". Both have a class of people who are undesirable (nacism: inferior people, communism: rich and educated) and need to be exterminated. Nazism left behind millions of dead people and communism tens of millions of dead people. I have no idea how you can compare economic liberalism to either communism or nazism.
Yes -- that made the article instantly unbelievable. The person in the first paragraph is a boy, not a girl.

The entire premise seems rather shaky. The benefit to trans surgery is that a person can live their life; the downside is that sometimes the diagnosis will be wrong. But we can apply the exact same argument to every single big choice in this world.

Are ready completions strictly determined by continuous polling if there's no system call involved? If lots of applications end up using this method, will it increase power consumption due to many processes actively idling until a new consumable shows up in the completion queue?
Why does it seem like McKinsey is impervious from their pseudoscience mistakes? This is one of many instances where McKinsey acted in bad faith, and flat out lied about their numbers. If any other business did that, they’d have a tarnished reputation. As an “elite” consulting firm, shouldn’t that be the nail in their coffin?
You assume that Trump is not just deliberately lying. While Trump might or might not be smart, he is surrounded by people like Pompeo and Cotton who certainly are.

They lie and mislead too.
A couple of the questions were multiple-choice, e.g.:

> If I was granted one new language feature today, I would ask for:

They commented about it:

> This was a tough question because only one choice was allowed, and the order in which the choices were listed may have influenced the replies. In retrospect, multiple choices presented in a randomized order would have been better.

This is actually one of my pet peeves about many surveys (and indeed, electoral systems)--they often use single-choice answer format (plurality voting i.e. radio button) when they should really be using multi-choice format (approval voting i.e. checkboxes). I said as much when the results were initially announced:

> There’s no reason to restrict the question to only one option, and allowing multiple choices (i.e., approval voting), allows people to express preferences in a more nuanced way so you get a more accurate overall view of what the community is interested in.

Also macros do not capture their caller AST! They operate on the code passed to them. Another important point that removes any friction. This way nesting macros works with no problem, they're expanded in order. (I can think even more reasons why your argument is unbased, like "hygienic" identifiers, operating on AST level versus ugly string concats, etc but whatever.)

Now with Project Reunion, for those that don't know, is basically merging the Win32 and UWP worlds, by moving the UWP stack outside of the kernel into Win32 userspace frameworks.

It feels like going back to Windows 7 development stack, alongside an improved COM runtime and eventually in a few years down the line pretend that Windows 8 linage never happened.

Yes, this is more like a thought experiment and it will require lots of efforts and money to realize it smoothly in a wet lab.

However, it is far more realizable than some other DNA implementations described in papers.

The idea to publish DNA code on GitHub with CI, tests, linters, badges etc. is obviously a form of joke, but the project itself was done like a serious applied maths research.
> Firstly, there are basically no potential colaborators for the areas i work on

That's correct. On the other hand, this is a network effect, and the Nest, in its current incarnation, is only 3 weeks old. It's getting better every day, though.

The two main features I'm working on at the moment are:

- CI/CD. This is almost ready to go, it is "sort of" working. One issue that I fixed recently is that Pijul versions are tricky to compute: change A, followed by B, is the same state (guaranteed by design) as B, followed by A. Our version identifiers handle that now (try `pijul log --state`).

- Social features, like discoverability, recommendation of collaborations. We're really just getting started at this, and figuring out what works best.

I should add that until two weeks ago, the Nest would stop accepting connections at random times, or crash. It's much more stable now, and we can finally think of adding features.

> Secondly, it is much less mature ass a platform

There are tags for issues. You can configure them in the "Admin" page of your repositories. They're not used very much for Pijul itself, because most issues so far have been closed within minutes or hours after their creation.

> Which is a mind twise of an idea. But they say they solved it, so nice.

As one of the authors, I can tell you it wasn't easy to get everything to work together, especially for conflicts. But the theory is clear and sound now (and I have good confidence that the implementation is, too): any two patches that could have been created independently can be pushed to a remote repository independently from each other.
Your Life in 2044 [pdf]
I think the biggest problem is that much is said to be fact-check but is, indeed, opinion verification.

People have many degrees in how they express themselves and many times an opinion use words that resemble factual statements. Then others read it as facts and want that someone give a validation or rebuttal of it.

Add some partial fact-check, some political inclined, some strong words, and then everybody has opinion of the credibility of it. Be it centralized or distributed.
Serious question: does McKinsey have a track record of success and what we see in the news is a small number of failures; or are they just really good at selling the C-Suite?
As with any sufficiently popular proprietary file format, gonna bet it was reverse engineered a dozen times by different people independently. But maybe there are official specs, I'm not sure.

Some devs really loved the platform and made fantastic apps for it. I remember really great third party Twitter clients as well, but there is only so much you can do if you are not a first party app. You are not going to be intimated of internal API changes. Limits can be imposed on your apps by the API provider. If I remember correctly there wasn't a good Youtube first party client for a while as well.

> But I really do miss some of the apps I had on my Lumia 920

Was it Lumia 920 itself that had the best camera of that gen? It just feels sad that the Lumia family doesn't exist anymore.

> Now however, apps are made with their own design and not made for the OS they run on.

While great for third party devs, this really sucks. Everything felt as a part of the OS with the really fresh UI.

I didn't end up publishing an app but really loved the developer tooling as well, it was very easy to write apps at that time compared to other platforms. Also, for gaming with things like XNA framework for games which a lot of indie devs were familiar with it would have been a great platform.

I’m not sure I’d describe the multiplayer mahjong games as “relaxing”. Riichi specifically gets into really intense situations.

Certainly, it is a philosophical issue at this point, and we could agree to disagree here. But I would note that

> I do think hard work is valuable ... because building a hard work habit ... is likely to lead to hard work with high value results later in life.

It sounds like you still value hard work because it increases the expectation value of future outcomes, and not entirely “just because” you value hard work. And so, maybe we agree somewhat on the philosophical level too, after all :)

>when children don't question what they're told.

That doesn't mean they accept everything as fact. They may simply not choose to question because of fear of punishment, or for any other number of reasons.

>Then when they're adults they lack any kind of critical thinking skills because they've been miseducated and they're easy targets for disinformation.

That is a giant leap of logic.. or faith. Case in point :- I went to a religious school (though, it was more of a hippie religious school), and many of my classmates became atheists later in life. :)

I think there a large room for even further nuance about how humans develop and all the factors that shape our thinking. Simply forcing a 'critical thinking' class into the curriculum won't give them any benefit any more than attending an entrepreneurship class will make you an entrepreneur.
I get the impression if you're at McKinsey you're basically a "made man" and are impervious to most normal professional consequences for failure, provided that failure does not significantly reduce billing. Also the people who hire you are in the same situation. So things like this are inevitable.
Very interesting.

I often wake up at night or early in the morning to go to bathroom, or take water. I found that the best way to go back to sleep after waking up is to think about the dream I just had. It seems like this 'forced' dream continuity is somehow sleep inducing.

What may be happening to you is the same thing: your firs instinct is trying to remember your dream, as you trained yourself through years of dream journaling. It's a learned behaviour. But what happens is, this induces sleep, and you're caught in the loop.

Maybe the trick is to go back to writing down your dreams when you wake up. This activity may keep you from falling back asleep.

Hope this helps.
What does self-hosted mean? Do any of your nodes have a public IP address? If so then I explained exactly how they can be accessed. If all of your nodes are private and behind some kind of firewall or virtual network then yes you'll have to make a public bridge, otherwise just point the DNS to your nodes. You can use a Deployment with the standard ports 80/443 to avoid any port translation too.

That's all the clouds do anyway, they just run a bunch of load balancers that move external traffic to the nodes of your K8S cluster with the port specified in the Ingress/Service and K8S takes it from there. There's no shortcut, the traffic has to be routed somehow so if you don't use a managed service then you have to do it yourself. It's got nothing to do with "developers keep it enterprisey".

Here's an answer I wrote about skipping GKE's cloud LB to accomplish the same thing: https://stackoverflow.com/a/54297777/173322

Also try using Ambassador as a reverse proxy/ingress/LB. It uses Envoy and is much faster and more configurable. You can set it to use the host network on your nodes and skip the K8S cluster mapping: https://www.getambassador.io/

This game, usually known to us as mahjong, is the solitaire version of mahjong.

But the game known as mahjong is a 4 player game where these tiles are like cards. It's similar to poker in a way, and really fun to play. Usually very fast paced too.

There are mahjong tables that automatically shuffle and sort the tiles, creating "hands" for all 4 players (I am not too familiar with mahjong terminology).
After Project Astoria, Microsoft and Google sign pact to not sue each other anymore[0]. At the time I was speculating that's because Microsoft was using Android code which is licensed under Apache license.

I had no concrete proof over this speculation beyond the fact that using Android code means dealing with Apache license, which forbid the licensee to do patent litigation against the licensor/licensee.

Thanks for sharing. What stocks are you most bullish on at the moment?
Product - market fit was the root cause every time. Every situation is different but if there aren’t buyers it just won’t work.

Interesting enough that the successful exit was because of astute cap table management. The founder was very ruthless about managing the cap table and negotiating to maintain a huge amount of equity, which turned into a fairly good exit for the founders / execs / early engineers despite a relatively low acquisition price. And the reason the acquisition happened at all was for IP rather than customers, so I guess even without strong product / market fit a successful exit can still be accomplished if the founder is clever.

This makes no sense, right? Who would ever choose to spend this money. Even if you are as cynical as possible about the intelligence of NYC public servants, they would never choose to spend money in this way.

Whenever I see something like this, I ask "where did the $27.5m go?" It didn't just enter a void called McKinsey; it was bonused out to people and given to subcontractors. And IME, whenever it makes no sense where public money went when judged through the lens of the good of the people, it ends up making a lot of sense when judged through the lens of paying off special interests and political allies.
