How so? Your own link seems to support that reading.

The Wikipedia page says:

> "The chemical has received attention due to litigation from the PFOA-contaminated community around DuPont's Washington Works facility in Washington, West Virginia, along with EPA focus."

That litigation was handled by Robert Bilott, the author of the article and subject of the NYT piece[1] that confirms the story of Tennant bringing up the issue.

Perhaps you thought the article was saying that the harm of fluorocarbons is known at all because of Tennant, when it instead seems to say that it is widely known because of him.

On desktop yep.

Finding solutions on mobile isn't as straightforward (unless it is and I'm an idiot) and I would wager a decent amount of YT traffic comes from mobile users via the app.
There’s nothing wrong/concerning with Tyvek housewrap, unless you just don’t like the idea of using DuPont products in general.
This seems like an obvious result of demographic changes. Assets like a farm, as an example, become more valuable as the number of people that need to eat grow. If you need to feed fewer people your farms are less valuable.
Just to be be clear I'm not supporting the low value of the bounty.

My point is that there's more to it than just that. Aside from the subjective point 1 in my comment, I think points 2 and 3 are very objective and don't really depend on the pay of the bounty.

If they find the bug and try to sell it on the dark/grey market, you risk litigation. If they are smart they can derive more value from it than just the bounty, although the bounty being bigger would be nice and would encourage more white hat hackers to invest their time on these programs.
"The amount we still don't know about the long term effects of being infected with COVID-19 is terrifying"

The amount that we do know about the potential long term effects of various other illnesses, including some that most of us have already had in our lifetimes, is also terrifying.

Let's not forget that many illnesses can, in some percentage of cases, cause serious and ongoing problems. COVID-19 doesn't appear to be bizarrely unique in this respect, it's just new and receiving a uniquely massive amount of attention (obviously for good reason).

> The virus could potentially be blocked by melatonin.

I was sleeping an average of 4-5 hours maximum a night. Once in a while I slept 7 hours, that was the maximum I could and I felt really great about it. Then I accidentally started intermittent fasting about 6 months back to see if helps with lowering cholesterol. But surprisingly I started sleeping more. Now, I eat my meals between 6am and 1pm. After that I fast. I sleep well and I can feel my body producing enough melatonin. For some reason, melatonin supplements never helped me when I tried before. My urge to drink alcohol has also lowered since even though I am an occasional drinker and I sleep for at least 8 hours a day. I can feel my body healing from at least 10 years of insomnia.

The old 'if we keep analysing the data we can draw any conclusion we like from it'. I'm reminded of the classic book 'how to lie with statistics' and the perils of staring at graphs to determine stuff like this.

We're one financial scandal away from a crash, one pandemic resolving drug away from a bull market.
Agreed. I was thoroughly confused after reading the linked page. I assumed it was a new review product (the concept of which does sound good) but was confused with the lack of a call to action on that page.

Only clicking through to the home page did I realise that this “review system” is not a product in its own right but a new feature of an underlying platform.

Totally agree with you that this would have been better served as a call out to the wider platform, which I might add, does look great.
Assuming you want to cancel frequencies up to 1kHz, you're going to need mics every 30cm at least for a useful sound field. For a 787 fuselage, that's about 60 around by 190, let's round that down to 10000 microphones. But of course, then you need electronics for them, and a way to carry the signals back to somewhere for processing. That's about 10 Gbps of data, fine, doable, but then you need to process it. Since you need to cancel separately per passenger, that's 2.4 million filters (10k mics * 242 passengers) to process. Nevermind that since this is a plane, there is a huge amount of overhead due to safety requirements.

This is all assuming this whole idea works, which it probably won't, because it's not just about the microphones on the fuselage but also how sound is transmitted inside the plane and other noise sources.

Healthcare in the US is not expensive. I am in Europe (Czechia), paying $3500 monthly while making $100k yearly before taxes and healthcare/social insurance deductions (over 48% of my income in total, and that's still low for Europe).

Healthcare in the US is relatively expensive for poorer people. That's it. It's not expensive in absolute terms. It's cheap for a programmer, any programmer in Europe (except Switzerland) is paying way more.

And don't get me started on the quality of care here, because you can't just compare costs 1:1... It's extremely bad. Even the worst options in the US are miles ahead. The healthcare providers here will treat you like the worst scum of earth.

That's from personal experience. I'll be moving to the US soon - healthcare is one of the big reasons.
For me SO could be more powerful if more answers would link or refer to documentation/github landing pages supporting/documenting their solution.

Often I see some weird way to implement something in the .NET world, especially Core/.NET 5, search Microsoft docs and find an 5-10-min read article updated last Wednesday that explains in-depth (relatively to a SO post) three different newer way of doing it.

A big weakness of SO, as I see it is aging. Most upvotes and marked-as-answer is most likely also the oldest.

Maybe the page could warn for old answers or highlight newer answers that are gaining traction.

Maybe questions and answers should be encouraged to specify version of tools. Asking identical questions for V1 and V2 of a tool should not be met by "POSSIBLE DUPLICATE" warning or get downvoted to oblivion. Posts shouldn't need "EDIT 1 updated for V1", "EDIT 2 updated for V2", as this is OK with 2 versions but what about 10?

Maybe points (or some score system) should decay over time? Idk. But I think something needs to be done.
> Just because someone used Yandex as a hyperbolic analogy doesn't mean we're talking about Yandex.

But my point is that email itself is an insecure technology, and not even Phil Zimmerman bothers with PGP [1]. If you want to avoid something like 5 Eyes eavesdropping with a Russian/Chinese/etc. email provider, at a minimum you probably won't be able to email anyone with a 5 Eyes-based email account, and even if you do that some fraction of your mails may still get hoovered up in transit somewhere else. Sticking to only emailing accounts on the same provider seems like the most "secure" implementation of this idea, but even that is suspect. The PRC hacked Gmail ten years ago, and it's not unreasonable to assume the NSA could have an APT in Yandex.

IMHO, this equipment really only helps with security concerns unique to the Russian government itself. Regular people in other countries have better options for their use-cases.

I have felt the same thing for some time. With the rise of automation I expect this separation to get even worse. You, can't help but think that now might be the last chance to get on the right side, lest you get left behind in "digital serfdom".
I just don't understand why Apple won't offer their own cloud offerings or just straightforward partner with some public clouds and offer servers more suitable for developers than forcing people to use desktops as servers.
I've lived in California my whole life, and I have to agree with the sentiment that our water fixtures are not what they used to be 40 years ago. For example, the shower head we wanted to get is illegal in California, because the flow is too high. When we bought a new toilet we had to get the low flow toilet, which definitely clogs more than the old ones did.

What I don't agree with is that this bad. These are minor inconveniences. Sometimes I have to use the plunger, and the shower is less relaxing. Not a big deal. I'd rather that than water rationing.

Back when Doohan died, there was a flurry of stories about him, and his impact on people.

I was moved by some university publishing incoming engineering student answers to the question, "Why Engineering?" And that's not the exact question, but close enough.

They got a ton of one word answers: Scotty.

So many romanticize the captain of whatever it is. And no judgement. It's a fine romance of the mind.

But, what's cool to me is many also romanticize making it happen too. Pushing it in various ways, making the machines sing, and all that goes with engineering solutions to problems or to reach some goal.

Getting what bit we have of him up there is symbolic in the very best of ways.
It's important to note that jurisdictions in the South Bay refuse to build more housing. Both Google and Facebook tried to but were blocked by the government.

This particular comment feels more like a rant that's not aimed at anything in particular. But with the previous comment you tried making a clearer point:

> So in the end men who never father children are being taxed for other men's children. Is that moral?

Don't those kids grow up, enter the working force and contribute with taxes? Rough math would suggest a father with 2 kids will contribute together via taxes over their lifetimes more than a single person (no kids) would. I'm sure most governments already made the same calculation.

If at 50 or 60, when some parents have their offsprings already contributing, they got 2-3 times more than you get from the state (pension, welfare, subsidies, whatever else you can imagine) you'd probably not be happy with the explanation "you contributed alone, they contribute together". If you don't care for contributing for someone else's kid, why would someone else's kid contribute anything for you?

This can be taken further with anything that works based on pools of contributions like insurance, pension, schools, public transport, internet, etc. They're all working exclusively because not all contributors actually need to benefit equally from all services. Some need more education, some need more health services, some need more transportation. Trust me, you get plenty of things you didn't pay for.

Perhaps. But it's rare that an industry just sits around and stagnates to the extent that 20+ year old knowledge is applicable to current day problems. Even in the graphics industry, 20 years ago we were still discovering perspective correction and shaders were but a pipe dream.

The problem set keeps evolving, and the tools we use to solve those problems keep evolving as well. Handwritten HTML -> vanilla JS -> jQuery -> Angular -> React, etc. It's not just the languages, it's major paradigm shifts in solving problems.

If you want to get out of that rat race, then jump on the management track and stay there. Even then, though, you need some familiarity with what your team will be working on.
An alternative would be that the essential workers are just paid more; if they're truly essential, it's hard to see how this wouldn't happen naturally
The stock market is increasingly disconnected from investments in real-world improvements of productivity and even if they manage to invest there in some tiny measure, it's not delivered to most people in the economy. That's the highest risk item in this whole discussion.
You sound like someone who is looking at your opportunity rather than trying to find reasons you can't succeed. :)

It is easy to complain about how hard life is, but I really don't think most people would be willing to trade it for some other time in the past--no matter how bad they like to think things are today. It is surprisingly inexpensive to live like people lived in the 1950s when TV, air conditioning, and even indoor plumbing weren't things you'd assume you had to have.
VC investments are hardly easy money for the limited partners. On average those investments underperform stock market indexes on a risk adjusted basis, especially outside the top tier firms who consistently get the best deal flow. Investments into VC funds are driven more by portfolio allocation policies that target uncorrelated returns.
Would this not make the implementation inefficient?
Rent control ultimately increases the cost of housing by suppressing supply. Price controls don't work.

And how is rent control supposed to follow tenants? They just show up to a unit costing $3,000/mo and say "my rent control rate is $800/mo, so you need to rent to me at that price." No sane developer would ever build in SF if that is the case, thus exacerbating point #1.
> I agree, the bootloader is a massive shame!

It reminds me of my Loongson 2F laptop powered by a Chinese MIPS processor, same model previously used by Richard Stallman. For a while (before Thinkpad X200), it was the go-to choice if one wanted a laptop with 100% free boot firmware and zero binary blob (the original boot firmware codebase is buggy and ancient, but with source, later GNU developers made it run GRUB 2). I got it just because it was an interesting non-x86 machine.

It's a bit disappointing that a would-be Russian equivalent couldn't do the same (an understandable problem, the designers of the board have no control over it), otherwise it'll also be a more hackable and interesting platform, at least for those who are fans of exotic non-x86 systems and don't care about price or performance.
Pretending we have AI doesn't get us actual AI.

Makes you wonder what kind of hardware Apple is using for all their own cloud services (web, mail, messaging, icloud etc.).
Because Apple really doesn't care about anything to do with developers. It's too tiny a percentage of their user base.

I suspect they don't believe there is a market for them or at least not enough of a market to justify the development expense. I know they've tried producing a "server" in the past and even a server version of their operating system, but it didn't seem to go anywhere. Unless they had a way to meaningfully compete with Windows and Linux (really, linux) the only viable market I can see is for build systems, and that's pretty niche.
My sleep was a mess over the summer and into mid autumn. I’ve only just reliably started sleeping through the night again. It’s always taken me a long time to get to sleep but from early May it was taking me a long time AND I was waking up two or three time’s a night which I’ve never had. Was horrible and I assumed a result of lock down and furlough.
Computing tools for non—programmers.

In the early days of computing, we quickly came up with the spreadsheet and the user-friendly relational database (Access, FileMaker).

Then we just sort of stopped. The no-code thing today is a step in that direction, but we could do so much better.

I’m actually ashamed of the software industry that we have done so poorly at this.

He also counts the Curious George books as being not suburban, which might be true of the original series, but there's a reboot by different authors that has a suburban feel. George drives around in a car, and goes to places like a pancake breakfast and a chocolate factory that don't seem to be in Brooklyn. These books aren't great, but my son likes them, as well as most of the other books that this article has committed to the flames.
It also doesn't take into account all the people who might have spent all that money and time and still not ended up with an education or a piece of paper, if the education were just handed to them for free.

This isn't so far from home for me because I had a niece community college scholarship and then my parents' money to pay for my college, and I ended up not getting that degree. Years later, I got serious about it and took out my own loans to get a degree and a job. The first time around I had no plans and no idea what I was doing, but the second time I had a plan and a goal, and I achieved it. And I paid off my debt myself.

The initial money wasn't entirely wasted, but most of those credits didn't transfer towards my degree.

That was just a CC, but imagine if it was a 6 yr degree at a University instead. It'd be vastly more costly.

The people who most deserve to make an impact rarely do.

I’m not thinking small. I wonder if a confluence of several efforts would come together and make a real impact. E.g. make it illegal to charge more then x for an apartment evaluated at y. Make it illegal to raise the rent more the x over inflation (also between tenants). Make it illegal buy housing with the intention to sell for profit. County could buy housing with set rent to drive down the market rate. Make it illegal to own a house that stays empty more then x months.

EDIT: I know it might seem unfair if you are a landlord or in the housing speculative market. But heck, you’ve had your chance to play a fair game, and seriously screwed us over. You’ve proven your self unworthy as a player in a fair market to a point that you shouldn’t be allowed to play it.
Considering how much Apple has been helping MacStadium and the volume of Mac minis going to rack based installs, I'm surprised Apple hasn't made them a little more rack mount friendly.
