Are you willing to vote against your own interests in the short-term (ex. your wait times for your non-emergency doctor visits due to Medicare for All may increase, but in exchange everyone has healthcare) to help those that are less fortunate than you in the long-term? I don't blame anyone for playing the hand they're dealt, minimizing their taxes, not donating money to charity. Those are the laws and norms we've agreed on - maximize your quality of life from there.

Related note I've been thinking about it a lot recently:
Will & Ariel Durant wrote an 11 volume history of the rise and fall of Western Civilizations (after touching on China and the Middle East) called The Story of Civilization
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story_of_Civilization

It was written in the 1930s-70s so it has some fascist, racist and pro-eugenics overtones. Different time, pretty expected - you'd have to be pretty high on Western Civilization to spend your entire life, all the way to your deathbed, writing about it. Conveniently, he wrote a summary of what his takeaways were after all of his research The Lessons of History https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008GUIEYU/ref=dbs_a_def_r...

After studying the rise and fall of hundreds of states and civilizations, he credited excessive wealth inequality as one of the most consistent causes of a failed state - Romans, Greeks, Chinese, etc. Once you hit a certain level of inequality - norms fail, and it gets redistributed anyways. Since capitalism inherently concentrates wealth upward (returns on capital are higher than returns on labor), controlled income redistribution (e.g. The New Deal) is necessary to maintain stability.

It feels like a lesson that humans have repeated thousands of times, and we've managed to forget again.

While I agree in a sense, it doesn't seem useful that people keep pointing out how facts don't matter. Not only is it debatable whether they ever were relevant, but I've heard this sort of phrase used too often in a way that is dismissive. No one even replied that COVID isn't real, or whatever nonsense, but you're already arguing against some nameless side of the COVID debate.

The pandemic, like everything else, must have its costs weighed against benefits, even if it involves people dying; for that reason alone, whether or not people think the pandemic restrictions are justified, the debate should be ongoing. It should never be considered a settled issue because the facts often come out long after it has passed. I'd be concerned if everyone agreed on anything in unison.
These are the same. Your link brings me back here.

Don't these numbers show government is incompetent?

10 gigabit is slowly becoming more practical, led largely by Mikrotik making a 4 port SFP+ 10gigE switch for $140. I just upgraded my home network to have 10gig on my NAS and my primary desktop workstation, the possibilities it opens up are really amazing and the whole project was about $400 including switch (my existing main switch already had a 10gig uplink but I needed another), 2 NICs and cables. Still not within reach of everybody, but when I priced it out 10gigE ended up being cheaper than 2.5gigE.

You hear a lot about the day 1 pop in share price but I really think the price is just the tip of the iceberg. I'm not sure what the trading volume is but I doubt that you could fill the entire IPO at the highest price on the IPO date.

From what I understand, supply is constrained as employees typically can't sell shares, and retail investors who were lucky enough to get in on the action are typically locked up for 60 days. Institutional investors are happy to hold on to alot of their shares because they can mark them to market and make their returns look great.

Have an external focus. Don't think about what you want, think about what you want to give. This plays into knowing your customer (or whoever you are doing whatever for). Know your customer, and give them what they want. Notice that doesn't mean "create what they want", but understand their goals, and then help them reach their goals.

This is very work focused, but can also play into other parts of your life. Why do you want to be healthy? Maybe so you can be around for your children or parents. Why do you want to be sociable or funny? So you can enjoy your time with your friends, etc etc.

Externalize the goal.
The study to which you refer is based on citations in newspapers as found by Animals 24-7. Animals 24-7 describes itself as “ ANIMALS 24-7 is especially noted for our in-depth coverage of attacks by pit bulls, other dangerous dogs...”. Who knows how much their bias affected their “study,” but I wouldn’t rely on it for the basis of my argument.
>It's the bare minimum of a website, a template and images with non-transparent backgrounds.

To be honest, if I were doing a pretty bare bones but legit web app that was of the more informative type and did not have to have much customer engagement, a template or an unoriginal design like that is likely something I would use.

I just don't think this is true as a generalization. It may be true of American culture today, but it doesn't follow from even the past 50 years of broader human innovation against death. Consider the number of lives saved from:

- antibiotics

- seatbelts and other automotive innovations

- CFC rules

- anti smoking legislation

- etc...

Whenever I hear a new language announced here I ask "what does it offer over OCaml?" Disappointingly often the answer seems to be nothing. At least in the post-Rust world most of the ML featureset is now part of the baseline for people who think they need non-GC or "as fast as possible".

I’ve worked in four emergency departments in three states this year. All of them have been overwhelmed by patients with covid, and not patients with overdoses, suicides, or domestic violence. Granted the incidence of those non-covid pathologies are likely higher this year, but they are no-way elevated at the scale of covid-19. I haven’t seen, or heard from any colleagues, hospitals brimming with suicides and overdoses to the point where they are filling an entire icu with those patients, or having so many domestic violence cases that they have to shut down operating rooms and convert them into icu beds.
> Russia has no logistical capacity to move any of those weapons far beyond it's borders like it had in Soviet Era. They could do single assault with 50-70k troops 300 km from their borders but they could not rotate or supply them or provide enough air cover.

Unless they can build a staging ground at a leisure pace in an ally country. Not to say that it was building up its already significant military logistics.

Now, why do you think such a such a force needs even bigger logistics buildup, far exceeding defensive use scenario?

All past of your comments on military strategy give off so much of youthful maximalism. In conflict, always expect the worst past holistic comparison. All things that "could never happen" according to military analysts do eventually happen.

A saying is you never expect the enemy to attack where you expect him the most.

You still have to be more wary of the government. The government has almost all of the power. Corporations only have power if people choose to engage with them or if the government forces you to engage with them (lets them engage with you - eg pollution).

The reason enterprises don't want the government to interfere is that often the government is used maliciously to deal with competing enterprises. It's still the government doing it though, whether a corporation influences the politicians or not. And if this is on the table then corporations will fight over getting politicians on their side rather than improving their product. After all, if you can outlaw your competition then that's a better investment than marginally outperforming your competitors with a slightly better product.

And they’d be right:

Someone over 70 is 270x as likely to die of COVID as someone under 50. For anyone under 50 without co-morbidity, then this is just a yearly flu — and destroying your economic future over the flu doesn’t make sense.

Having a blanket policy that ignores those differences is unrealistic.

One of the reasons “Pit Bulls” are attributed for so many attacks is because it is not a breed and on police reports when it is a mixed breed that looks vaguely like a terrier breed they assign “pitbull” because it is not like they are going to do a DNA test to determine breed.

It is also true that many people who want a tough looking “pitbull” are terrible owners who want their dog to attack and to be aggressive as a form of personal and home defense and raise them accordingly.
People risk harrassment, deplatforming, censorship or even violence for having knowledge of facts that are inconvenient. Careers are ended. Families are stressed to breaking point.

And the people exercising this power then dare to exploit the morality of sceptics by demanding that they adhere to government facts when aligned with government policy? It's wrong.

I have had a comment removed just recently for citing FBI crime statistics in a relevant discussion about race and criminality.

Do you really think that the lockdown and its effect (the bankruptcy, unemployment, reduced social activity, delayed treatment of other illness, etc) could not cause increase in death ?
Either. Or both. :)

Generally the projects I've felt best about have two features:

1) The API knows how to represent resources across multiple media types, usually including at least markup and JSON.

2) UI is well-annotated enough that developers and machines find it easy to orient themselves and find data.

But you're quite right that this isn't common. I have my own guesses on the reasons why. My observation's been that the workflow and stakeholder decision making process on the UI side places semantic annotation pretty low on the priority side; most places you're lucky if you can get a style guide and visual UI system adopted. And there has to be cooperation and buy-in at that level in order for there to be much incentive to engineer and use a model/API-level way of systematic representing entities as HTML, which often won't happen.

And TBH it is extra effort.
Disclosure, I have no specialized knowledge or experience.

I wonder if he's already worked a deal with the investor? If he's offering the investor half of your stake to push you out (for example), you might be able to turn the tables and offer the investor 3/4 of his stake (or all of it) to push him out. This depends on your ability to have a frank conversation with the investor and their faith that you can continue to drive the company. If that's the case it also means the investor is probably toxic which doesn't bode well for the future relationship but it might at least prevent your co-founder from getting away with this.

People are rarely aware of all the details of their contracts. I know that must sound funny to those who won't sign anything without reading it and understanding it but it is't rare at all for someone to be handed a 'standard' contract and signing it without fully understanding all the implications. Hence my first advice to hire a lawyer.
A bit of rant, but the observations in the article just confirm what I have felt about WiFi in the past decade.

> When I tested the Compute Module 4's onboard WiFi 802.11ac chip, I got up to around 80 Mbps, even when using an external antenna.

> But when I tested the speeds, I was disappointed to find the upgraded card could only pump through 300-400 Mbps on the XPS 13, due to the two-by-two antenna performance and configuration on the Dell. My MacBook Pro, which doesn't have WiFi 6, can get speeds up to 900 Mbps over 802.11ac, so the design of the entire system is extremely important.

The landscape of WiFi technology is a complete joke. The consortium and the manufacturers market this crap about 802.11ax being faster, but that's only under ideal, lab conditions. In real-world environments, it's worse than black magic that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. 5Ghz has such terrible penetration power that it's almost useless. You can barely use a single 5Ghz router to serve a 70m^2 home at acceptable performance. Unlike many houses in North America, homes in Hong Kong are typically built in concrete with rebar, and 5Ghz signals just get absorbed to oblivion within 3 to 5 meters. If you want top WiFi performance in your whole home, you need multiple access points and wire through the wall. But wait, what was the promise of WiFi again? Less wires! The irony!

>>You might assume that fact that they've subsequently lied and dissembled about the massive premine,

Who's "they". No one has lied about the premine. The crowdsale is well-documented by Ethereum-based information resources and there has been absolutely no effort to conceal or mislead about it.

>> or multiple times reduced the issuance rate of mined coins to prop up the price as they sold their own premined positions might count against them

You're conflating the community, which is the amorphous entity that has reduced the issuance rate, in accordance with a long-standing plan to adjust it to balance the need for security, and the need for token store-of-value functionality, and the Ethereum Foundation, which has no say in the hard forks that the community choose to support or not support.
If Tim Cook met Elon Musk, Elon Musk could have then disclosed the meeting occurred via side channel media leak: “Apple meets with Elon Musk to discuss purchase.” If that rumor got out, it would cause Tesla stock to jump (which Elon Musk likely wanted in the first place). This could then put pressure on Tim Cook to say he does not want to buy Tesla publicly. It would also confirm that Apple is interested in the car business. It could also result in pressure on Tim Cook to actually pursue the acquisition of Tesla or an investment by his own board and the media.

None of the above is really in Tim Cook’s best interest unless he really wanted to buy Tesla and displace himself as CEO of Apple. Face it: Tim Cook is not in the same league as Elon Musk and the Apple board of directors might “Smell Blood” and begin thinking of ways to exit Tim Cook and replace him with Elon Musk if such a meeting ever did occur. It is literally nothing but potential downside liability or distraction for any strategy Tim Cook has for Apple.

Tim also likely has a multi year strategy in place for Apple, all of which has been signed off on and which he does not want to shake loose. A random meeting with Elon Musk sends a signal that Tim Cook’s strategy is not final, which creates distractions - something you do not want when you are running a company the size of Apple. It is VERY HARD to keep executives and the board on track.

If you are not familiar with executive power games, you might not understand why Tim Cook would turn this meeting down. Simply meeting with Musk could set into motion a chain of events resulting in his deposition or serious disruption to Tim’s plans.

Elon Musk could then use the opening to build influence channels into the Apple board and key investors which could undermine Tim Cook’s power.

I know we all love Elon Musk, but he is a very dangerous executive and you don’t make mistakes like this with someone like him, he will exploit them to their fullest potential.

For the user the underlying tech should be transparent. Users just want applications with common "look & feel". How that's done doesn't mater to them in the end.

That's the lesson we've learned by now in the mobile space.

But for the developers of those applications the how makes a big difference: Building apps with the right "look & feel" is much easier when using a tech stack that was purposely created for exactly that mater - instead of hacking something into existence by misusing some technology that was created in the first place to serve completely different needs. Because of this fact people mostly stopped trying to build "HTML apps" on mobile.

The remaining question is why this wisdom isn't taken to its last consequence. Which is, of course, that it also applies exactly the same to desktop applications!

That's actually the last step on our journey before going full circle. As most other comments point out we're straight on the way to "the past", "what's old is new again". What I'm pointing out is that what we're seeing here is just an intermediate step before the full realization of that fact.
The price of stocks decrease if everyone sells them.

>Is it very clear that this pessimism/cynicism is warranted?

Yes, read some of my earlier comments regarding Starlink, DISH, and general telecom schemes. I'm not coming out of nowhere with this criticism.

With that being said I fully understand where their system is better than current MEO/GEO systems for low-latency rural deploys. I'm just not in the cult of Elon, physics/money/practicality have their limits.

I'd honestly be more excited with Starlink if they were primarily using it as a replacement for satellite backhaul on very remote cell sites. That way you don't need residential roof antennas and a ton of power to communicate with the network, just need your main power at the cell site. That's more practical for poor rural countries but isn't as big of a writeoff, doesn't look as sexy.
I currently work with Zig, which is one of the C-like languages. C has a ton of footguns, and is not easy to parse (due to a lexical macro system). Because of these (and other) properties, I made Zigler (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIxNEILcNGM), which is an automatically recompiling inline FFI system for the Elixir language, it's arguably easier to write correct C FFI functions with Zig as an intermediate than in C itself.
I think it indicates a new account.
Also, coming from California and living on the Pacific, I have sort of a "too much light" problem. I've got sunrise on side of the house and sunset on the other and skylights in every room. I had an optimized setup in the living room but when I moved my office to the spare bedroom I am totally blasted out by the sunrise over the mountains and shadows come across my face as the sun moves.

I'm experimenting with moving my desk but the trial and error is a pita.

> multiple APs on the same SSID/auth with non-overlapping channels

Would you mind saying more? I have a 2 wired APs and 2 mesh APs in my home network. I would prefer to have them all on channel 11 2.4Ghz Wifi (since I have a zwave system as well, which overlaps with the lower part of the wifi spectrum), but I've been wondering if I should have them all broadcast on a single channel, or if they should be staggered - or spread out. Do you have any advice? Or how can I learn more about this? I think my latency is higher than it should be.

Thanks regardless!
