>> Meanwhile, I don't think she has any obligation to investigate terrorism in other religious communities at all. The editor might have an obligation similar to do that, depending on newsworthiness. But I don't see how it applies here anyway. Once ISIS/L established territory in Syria they became the most newsworthy topic of the decade.

This is pretty circular logic. Her topics are newsworthy because she is covering them, and adjacent un-covered topics happen to become not-newsworthy because she is ignoring them. The NYT editorial staff is def at fault, but she is she, as their designated "Terrorism Reporter [who only covers a certain type of terrorism]" She literally gets to define terrorism by example and undefine it by what she ignores to cover.

As an example, most people in the US I've spoken to dont consider the 2011 Norway attacks "terrorism" because they have not been covered as such. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Norway_attacks) The coverage makes the news and everything else disappears into history when the supposed paper of record conveniently ignores part of the narrative.

As an another example, consider the Russian-Chechnyan conflict.

If the newspaper decides to cover only Russian atrocities, that becomes the news and that is how popular opinion forms and that is what drives US foreign policy.

If instead the newspaper decides to cover only Chechnyan atrocities, that becomes the news and that is how popular opinion forms and that is what drives US foreign policy.

Did you go with full event-sourcing? That is, not persisting domain objects at all, just reconstructing their state from the event store?
Rarely. Over a long enough time period though, the probability of a portability event nears 1, and the cost of such event is enormous. Right now there is a credible challenge for the x86 domination in the server, laptop and desktop markets raised by ARM, via AWS A1, Apple M1 and many others. Would be foolish to bootstrap an ecosystem locked-in to the loser, and we don't know the winner / loser over a 5-10 year timeframe.
> Work makes a mockery of freedom

Being embedded in a flimsy sack of meat controlled largely by deterministic chemicals makes a mockery of freedom. And yet here we are, embodied. Makes a mockery of fairness too.

That paragraph is taking a stand against large organised bodies, without taking a sufficiently nuanced opinion on what 'freedom' means. If we take part in a larger body than ourselves, we lose a bit of ourselves (quite a lot, really) to the larger body. That is forced upon us by the inescapable fact that individual humans are delicate and feeble, so there need to be a lot of us to get things done. It is impossible to gain freedom from that.

We don't get sewerage systems, international trade or defence forces by people acting individually. The only point of contention is whether joining specific groups is mandatory or not (eg, opting out of the control of a state bureaucrat is largely impossible). Even the most hardened individualist has to admit a company gets a lot more done than an individual.
It's not missing the point if TS is a bad fit for WASM, which it kind of is.

Frankly, it's not really TS, it's an odd, unofficial subset of it - kind of like hacking some nice things about TS to 'make it work'.

Not only is there the fact that it's OO, it needs a VM, it doesn't even support Strings ... so many questions marks.

V8 as it turns out is a pretty good black box. Every one of us runs completely untrusted code on our machines ever day.

Pretty most (all?) Shopify staffers and devs are, every day, running untrusted JS code on V8.

So it's nice to see progress, and I can't wait to see more details, but it looks tricky from the start ... and TS was never going to be the obvious starting point for WASM.
That’s quite an unhinged simile.

A step in the right direction, but we need more legislation than in this area. My current ISP won’t let me use my own modem for their fastest consumer internet option. The one they graciously provide for rent has no web interface exposed to LAN.
"Prayer Plants" all do this; it's called nyctinasty. Usually it's plants in the Maranta or Calathea family.

There are several theories why they do it, such as water retention or discouraging predation, but they don't really know for sure.

> Slavery jumpstarted the US economy, and much of the early US economy (even that of the North) was only successful due to slavery as an institution.

That's a very bold claim to make, especially given that the half of the country that was heavily dependent on slavery lagged far behind, economically.

> That means that, as a reasonable guess, 20% of America's workforce wasn't compensated for their work on a national scale, and that was true for decades. Think about what a massive transfer of wealth that would be, compounded over the century and a half since.

It enriched a relatively small but very wealthy planter class, but there's a very strong argument to be made that it prevented economic development in the South. At the very least, something has to explain why the northern states economically developed so much more rapidly than the South during the first half of the 19th Century, and slavery is a very likely explanation.

It's outside of my technical wheelhouse, and most of what I know about graph theory is from trying to get a better handle on my domain problems, and as I get older I'm increasingly reluctant to get stalled on toolmaking.

But what you're discussing is a frequent problem with graph visualization - it's very easy to end up with 'hairball charts' that may be meaningful to the person who generated them but only because of familiarity with all the steps it took to get there, and the more inclusive the graph, the more time eaten by clustering algorithms, the more clusters produced, and the more of a cluster...well you get the idea.

As you're at an early stage of development, perhaps this technique, which trades away completeness for clarity and is relatively novel, might let you leapfrog some of those problems: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?arnumber=8896846

The Guardian view on Julian Assange: do not extradite him
For the sake of accuracy, FB's recent margin has been 28-35%, and the $70B number was 2019 revenue, not profit. They made $18B profit in 2019, and look to do around $25B profit this year.
I don't think it's a leak as such. Crafted items are unique so when they're created, their attributes/name have to be recorded.
This was already illegal. The problem is that prosecutors don't generally go after individuals committing large scale fraud if they are working at large, established companies, and especially utilities.

Unequal application and enforcement of the law can't and won't be solved by more laws.

> Calling work non-voluntary reveals more about the author than it does about the system they describe: that they feel that they have no choice.

Assuming I don’t want to starve to death, what are my other options?

I could beg, although that’s still work in the sense that I’d be trading my time for money. I could go around to places that offer free meals to homeless people, but that seems unreliable. And I could steal money or food. That’s about all I can think of.

I suppose that’s technically a “choice”, but only by the most ruthlessly literal definition.
I am still looking for a decent Google Maps alternative. And not about navigation, I never use that, what I care about it's reviews. TripAdvisor is okish when it comes to restaurants but Google just have the advantage of having review for ANYTHING. Still haven't found a competitor that does anything close to that.
The trick is see such things, gain that information, and then choose to use the data in a way that is nice for the person. That is one element of kindness.

For the facelift example, you notice it, and then remark about how youthful the director looks in that new shirt. For the shoes example, you notice it and then remark about their good fashion sense. For the hair example, you go to them and see how the home life is going (colicky kids, a new medical diagnosis, a death in the family, or pure unawareness, etc)

It may seem like 'pandering', but only if you do it to people who can give you a raise. You have to do it for the janitors, bus-drivers, and bar-tenders too. Because you want everyone's life to be a bit better that day.

It's kinda like being a culty-mad-scientist. You have to have all the knowledge, the years of experiments, the cash flow, the ancient texts, the elaboratory. It takes a lot to awake the elder god from it's slumber. But the most crucial step, and the last one at that, is the smarts to know to not to wake up the eldrich world ending demon at all.
I distinctly remember calling my ISP a few years ago to remove my modem charge, which they promptly replaced with a "no-modem" fee that was $1 less than the modem fee.

You could probably use something like Xvfb instead of running a full window manager.
I really like this idea and would encourage you to pursue it, perhaps in a fictional context. You don't need to have all the answers to produce good science fiction, just a willingness to explore what the implications of something might be. You could also explore the idea from the perspective of people who believe in astrology but have not yet been conditioned to think of a computer as an everyday object.
Crisis is coming. Will country X have it in control? Let's ask some top politicians and government agency directors, do you think you'll have it in control? Of course they are going to answer yes. Let's run a big story: "Country X has crisis in control". What is the value of news like this?

What if in March, a Finnish news agency had interviewed US president Trump's office and maybe US CDC Director Dr. Redfield, asked them if US has the pandemic situation in control, and after they replied yes, then ran a story "US has pandemic in control"? Would you say that's ok – after all they'd be honest about the limits of their reporting, and are just citing their sources.

Perhaps this bespeaks a lack of imagination on my part, but I can't imagine many (or really, any) other bank transactions I'd want to conduct while hunching over an ATM rather than in person or online from the comfort of my own home.
I mean, the hospitals are full. Staff are catching covid every day. The staff are getting patient sick, they're getting their famlies sick. The hospitals are shifting workers who don't normally work with Covid patients to start working half days with covid patients, ensuring as many people as possible get exposed.

There's simply no excuse for not ensuring everybody in the hospitals, then in clinics, gets the vaccine before anyone else in the offices and working from home.
Would blockchain have been useful for healthcare?

As I understand it, the main reason to use blockchain is having multiple parties intact without any party being trusted, so if you do have some central trusted authority it's pointless. There's also the requirement that the network has enough participants that no single party can gain a majority of the network's compute power, which seems a very iffy assumption with private/permissioned blockchains.

So I don't see how blockchain is useful in a healthcare context. Please correct me if I'm wrong and enlightenen me if I'm missing something.
This argument has a lot of big words, but in the end, we humans run up against the hard wall of reality in a world of scarce resources. To say that the nearly all misery arises from how we currently work is laughable. Let me know when winter stops being cold and food falls from heaven onto our dinner tables.

So, what, Google is bad now, and Oracle good? Funny world.
I'm pretty confused by this take, not all apps are tip calculators or note taking apps. There are entire classes of enterprise apps with sophisticated functionality. I used mine with on-phone AR, which involves computer vision, on the edge. Further, my app (and many others) have multiple user roles (in my case: Patient, Hospital Staff, Admin).

When I'm using 32gb RAM for an app, i'm not actually running the entire app in 32GB RAM. The breakdown is usually:

- 8gb: XCode/AndroidStudio, chrome, slack

- 4-8gb: Virtualized App VM in profile 1 (Hospital Staff)

- 4-8gb: Virtualized App VM in profile 2 (Patient)

- 4-8gb: Virtualized App VM in profile 3 (Admin)

Interactions in one VM affect the other. You typically debug and test UX across all at the same time. Hopefully much of it is already tested with REST API layer testing, but not all, and definitely not QA/UAT. Is this not how it is done? How do other people do it?

I have a friend doing something similar for a ride hailing app, he has a customer app, and a driver app. He constantly runs both side by side while developing. I have another friend doing a food delivery app -- again, he has three profile VMs running side by side: customer, restaurant, admin.

So, yes, it seems M1 MBPs are not limiting, correct, at this time. They probably will be in 2025 after a dozen OS and XCode updates, and I imagine i'll need another laptop then. If none of us did, we'd still be on the 2008 iMac with 4GB RAM and we wouldnt be speaking about the M1 at all.
>The leftist desire to redistribute wealth (which I think is strongly misplaced and immoral)

While not a leftist per se, I've always found this concept of redistribution immorality to be a little strange. Much wealth is already regularly redistributed from value creator to rent-seeker. Laws can be optimized to serve the needs of corporations. Much of wealth creation also depends on the previous work of others in the same environment, whether it's infrastructure or even the work that goes in having a decent place to live where people can afford to be a healthy consuming market. Would your typical software engineer have been as successful in Sierra Leone?

The flipside of that concept is to have privatized profits but collectivized negative externalities. That's not to mention entire industries consisting in intelligent and skilled workers spending their lives redistributing wealth from a wealthy person to another (traders, corporate lawyers, etc.)

That's why injecting the concept of morality feels misplaced: if the there already is redistribution, then workers taking a share through governmental action is just an actor exercising whatever power they had, where they previously did not and other actors did.
Don't forget New York, where Emmy laureate Gov. Cuomo published his book on how he beat COVID-19 mere days before cases started exploding again in the second wave.

Where extramural NIH competing grant application are concerned, I thought PIs were pretty much free to include a staff scientist, or anyone else, in the budget as "key personnel". Anecdotally, the NIH hasn't raised this as an issue in any of the grants I've been involved with. Would you mind clarifying the context in which you've seen / heard of the NIH requiring budget revisions to exclude staff?

Overall I agree that the NIH & NSF extramural funding policy is designed with the sole goal of maximizing the number of tenure-track faculty. The messaging around sequestration, and the Grant Support Index mechanism, made it explicit that the main policy goal was to keep creating tenure-track faculty at the same rate. Even if this isn't sustainable. There are many programs to buoy the supply of (aspiring) tenure-track faculty, but few for any other career path. I'm just not aware of any policies to prevent grant recipients from hiring staff should they choose to do so.
There are a lot of flaws in the article, so I’ll just pick one. The author casually lists a vast swath of jobs that are a priori deemed completely useless, with no reasoning given as to why they have no use other than that they are “paper pushers”. I think that every single one of those jobs is only useless if you don’t think deeply about it at all.

Take one example, real estate. The article states everyone working in real estate is useless.

Ok, let’s imagine we have zero real estate industry. How do we determine who gets to live where? There are 8 billion people in the world, that is a huge organizational problem. We are going to manage that just by doing what we want?
Live in dc and have done the 180 miles of the C&O, it’s absolutely beautiful. You’re in nature pretty much the whole way.

> Now, apply the same kind of idea and feed an algorithm mugshots of all criminals. It's going to develop the same bias and tell you that a black person is more likely to be a criminal than a white person.

No. Nobody training an ML system to detect criminals would train it only with pictures of criminals. And if you somehow did, it wouldn't determine that black people are more likely to be criminals, but that humans are more likely to be criminals than say ducks or fire engines.

Yes, ML models can end up reflecting prejudices in their training data, but this description is incorrect, reductionist and unhelpful.

Does the exchange publish information about the number of TAS shares on each side prior to the close? Like the auction imbalance info published by NYSE, Arca and Nasdaq (among others).

Edit: or even better, do they publish an estimate of the auction price? I think nasdaq calls it the 'near' imbalance price.
Wow this is incredible! Thank you so much for the suggestion.
To put in a simpler terms, they didn’t have to take delivery, because they sold the oil earlier in the day to someone else. Since they didn’t have any oil at the time, they sold it “short”. Then, at the end of the day when they “bought” the oil at the negative prices, it was used to cover the contracts for the oil they sold earlier in the day.
Yeah I'm a little worried about the maintenance burden, tbh. I'm not actually a linux/sysadmin type person, but I was pretty keen to achieve my goal of being Google free by 2021 (which I'm happy to announce with this migration that I did :), though I still watch youtube anonymously sometimes). But I'm not sure it'll be the most ideal solution for the long term. I'll see what the maintenance burden actually is like through next year. Some folks have suggested looking at the docker installation options (as opposed to the snap package, which I use here), since it's apparently really easy to maintain. We'll see.

I’m not saying they were lying. Saying it’s the “most immersive game ever” could mean a lot of different things based on your definition of immersion.

There’s no clear definition of being the “most immersive game”. Every piece of software has a finite feature set, based on time, cost, and a vast set of constraints - whether organizational, technical, people related, and so on.

The game isn’t ever going to live up to the hype.

The two items you listed are inaccurate. I’m taking the approach that the game had practically infinite hype and it had no where to go but to go but DOWN and disappoint people. I’m taking the approach that it’s worth looking at this from a realistic lens. Yes the game is unfinished, but there are plenty of “finished” games that aren’t great or even just good. They are flat out terrible. Why people seem to think Cyberpunk is meant to be some marvel is beyond me.

This IS my field, and I can make that claim. The Starship is designed to operate as a reusable, in-situ refutable vehicle in the regime of <4km/s delta-V trajectories. That is sufficient to get anywhere through staging, using other starships as tankers. It is designed for this.

By analogy it's like pointing out that an off-road jeep is sufficient to get anywhere on Earth, even with only a 300 mile range, because jeeps can carry supplies and/or an extra tank of gas as its cargo instead of people, with staging outposts (gas & maintenance stations) setup and supplied every few hundred miles.
A call to revolutionize the workplace – by working less
This is interesting to me as someone who loves DDD but finds the tactical side hard to implement in Node.

A few questions stand out:

AFAICT implementing tactical DDD involves a lot of boilerplate code. That seems to be consistent with what you've written in your article on writing the book, mentioning "...we even built a Node.js framework as byproduct." If tackling DDD in Node requires so much work on something that isn't the businesses' core domain, and there's a lot of surface area for it to go wrong, why do it in Node?

As someone who writes predominantly TypeScript, static types feel like a much lower hanging fruit for alleviating some of the pain in tackling rich domains. As you've written the book in JavaScript, I'm curious whether you used plain JavaScript on the professional projects?

Also curious to hear from someone who has done tactical DDD in Java or C#: do you find a good supporting framework essential?
