Yeah, I've noticed in the US that we've lost sight of the old way of ensuring care for your elders and it makes me sad. I understand that "proper" first world countries should take care of them through social programs, but I'm just surprised it only took us a few generations to completely abandon the obligation to take care of grandma, grandpa, mom, and dad when they get too old to work.

My buddy is a latino and as soon as the elders got too old, they just moved in to the family house and their needs were met.

* I do understand that some level of care is unable to be met by normal families but I'm talking about the situations where its really just room, board, food, and love.
That's a total straw man argument.

It doesn't take "a month of fiddling" to add an integration like this. It's already readily available[0] and has been for half a decade. It's also $24 per month — not $5 — at their current scale. These aren't amounts to be sniffed at either. The $720 a year they're paying for "frontend hosting" is not far off what I pay my accountant.

I find Jira, Aha, etc to be mediocre for in depth planning. Most the tools are geared towards either individual task management, or gants/timelines that have more to do with defining deadlines. And both are clunky. I want a tool that lets you easily define complex dependencies, edit them frequently, and do bulk operations easily.
One thing I'll be interested to see if there are any heavy elements in the samples.

Why? Because anything from the Uranium decay chain effectively dates the creation of those elements.

I belong to the school of thought that believes that spacefaring life is relatively rare. By "rare" I mean we may well be the only one within the Milky Way (within our light cone). There are lots of reasons for this but a lot of people have put a lot of thought into this but it's a whole separate topic.

Anyway, this then raises the issue of the Fermi Paradox. One angle might be the relative abundance of elements heavier than iron.

Elements up to iron are relatively common in the Universe because they're created by nuclear fusion. More specifically, nuclear fusion of elements up to iron produces energy.

Heavier elements are produced by supernovae or the merger of neutron stars and/or black holes (as we've detected by LIGO in recent years). It seems like a neutron star merger is almost required for the relative abundance of such elements we have on Earth. That might be one reason why spacefaring life is "rare".

I've seen some discussion of this for Earth-bound materials suggesting they were created 80-200 million years (IIRC) before the Earth was.

So I'm curious how old samples like these. Are they from the same event or do they have a different origin? Examining such samples from other parts of the Solar System may tell us about the relative likelihood of such events on cosmic timelines.

I suspect Jews don't allow the same errrr "advertising" in Israel that the largely-progressive Jewish media is renowned for in the West. Our kids experience such hyper-exposure to themes including LGBTQI+, interracial relationships, career > family, promiscuity > monogamy, etc that it's a miracle we're having any kids at all! Things will change though, they always do.
That's funny--I grew up in a suburb and always wanted to be somewhere else. I didn't want to read books about places like the one I was already in. (I now live not far from where my great-grandparents lived when they first came to this country, so I guess I made a big loop).
> there are still over three times as many apartments currently listed for rent in San Francisco than there were at the same time last year with an overall vacancy rate that’s ticked up to around 10 percent (and climbing).

In terms of prices, rent is "sticky" whereas the price of something like apples is not. Meaning if apples are not selling, the price is cut quickly. Rent prices go down slower, but high vacancies and high supply are a leading indicator that prices will go down more.

That's one of the biggest issues some developers have: We pride ourselves in the wisdom to see "bloat", but as you say, a lot of complexity arose out of necessity, even if the developer themselves doesn't need it. Privileged minimalism.
This is a pretty sweeping generalization. The suburb I grew up in was and still is plenty walkable (though it is admittedly even more bikeable/driveable) and has plenty of places for kids to have adventures. Of course, I've definitely been to many suburbs that are completely unwalkable by design, but not every suburb is like that.

(My sense is that more recently-built suburbs tend to be more heavily designed around a presumption of car ownership, but that's just based on my own experience.)
This is an extremely complex topic that would likely require political and societal reforms. I'm curious why you are suprised there aren't more more people working on this?
Not sure how Peergos is a relevant alternative to Keybase? Maybe you're just thinking of the file sharing aspect of Keybase?

Keybase as it's core was that it's a key directory that's publicly auditable. Everyone could verify the chain of verification of each other in Keybase. On top of that infrastructure, files and chat was added.

Peergos doesn't seem to show any chains or in fact auditable information at all. You can add/remove friends that is supposedly cryptographically verified, but there is no information about it, nor is there any information about where the data is actually stored, how you can get it to your local machine, how to re-verify the claims, how to add devices that have access.

I don't think monkey patching is required. Although without a dedicated interpreter, you can just do what sbcl does under the hood and maintain what is essentially a tempfile and keep compiling that and reporting the output for every new line/block of code. (I don't know how sbcl actually works, being a lisp I presume it doesn't actually use a tempfile but instead a list in memory of the code the user submitted and then invokes the compiler as needed for new input including the output state as available symbols.)

A cycle that went something like:

1. Write the line to a file
2. Compile file with default flags
3. Run binary in gdb causing gdb to dump certain interest info (stack info, variable contents, etc)
4. Read the sections/symbols and merge this data into the gdb data (maybe get it from gdb)
5. Dump this data into your reply and refresh waiting for user input.

You could have a few basic commands in the repl:

Modify the compiler args
Add/remove/edit a line
Attach gdb.

Emacs or vim could easily do this, and I suspect there are people who already do almost exactly this.

You could also just use any editor/ide with debug integration and keep a scratch file around...

I’d add that researchers should eventually try to commercialize their research. I understand that it’s not possible for all the fields, but I think too many life sciences PhD end up in e-commerce and finance.
True, they aren't really in the spot light. I do hear a good bit about them through the stock market news as opposed to mainstream news. Also in science/tech focused publications for the break through news.
> I mean we could have this argument about how dozens of ancient / partially POSIX-complient / unstable kernels have had low footprints. But that's not really a credible argument if you can't actually use them in any practical capacity.

There are modern microkernels that are POSIX compliant and have a much lower footprint than linux. That's not the problem. I think the most prominent issue, people points out here is performance. However, it's very obvious to me that the extra abstraction of having a kernel vs having no kernel on an constrained device costs performance, and it's always a trade-off, both solutions can be found and both solutions are valid.
> what small daily targets can you set that are strictly about removing friction and reinforcing the behavior you want to see?

For me this has proven to be absolutely true. Goals take a lot of will power which, for me, is exhausting and affects other areas of my life.

On the other hand, making it easier to to what I want to do has actually enabled me to enact those changes.

I want to be more tidy? I'll get the boxes/bins/containers that I need so the effort to put something away is minimal.

I want to wake up earlier, I'll setup a light alarm and have my bedroom at a comfortable temperature by the time I want to get up. (I realized that a big issue for me was leaving the warm be for the cold bedroom, so a warm bedroom makes things A LOT easier!)

I want to recycle? Get the proper bin and make as effortless as possible throwing a plastic on the recycling bin as it is on the regular trash bin.

Those landlords don't try to sell that small kitchen, they DO sell that small kitchen. When I was shopping for an apartment in SF 2 years ago there was no spot that did not have at least 2 other parties looking at it. There was no room for negotiation or to even take a day to think it over, if you walked away from it, there were 2 people right behind you to take it.
UAP. There is clearly a phenomenon occurring that is completely unexplainable and well beyond our current understanding. We have countless credible witnesses and multi-witness events in our armed forces alone. I don’t purport to know what the phenomenon is or why it is happening, but it seems important on a variety of levels. Meanwhile, the vast majority of the population doesn’t seem to care.
If an engineer with 20 years of experience is intimidated by a new grad then that’s not ageism, and not what this thread is about. If a new grad performs better then there is literally no point in hiring that engineer. They don’t bring anything to the table and there is no room for growth. If you’re in your 50’s then ideally you’d be at least a principal engineer at a big tech company by then.
That's because charter schools intentionally decline expensive students- students who need occupational therapists, school psychologists, social workers, special education programs, remedial schooling, etc.

When you look into what it means to have a public school system it really means that the system is expected to support everyone, including the neediest and most expensive students. So of course by declining these students charter schools can boast being much cheaper.

The full title of the article is “The 17 coolest custom mechanical keyboards we’ve ever seen”, not “The 17 most ergonomic mechanical keyboards we’ve ever seen”.

Pretty disingenuous to judge an article’s merit over a subject it was never meant to be about.
There are two problems with this line of reasoning of the type of muddied thinking you're replying to. The first is that it can both be true that supply and demand as a phenomenon can be used to meaningfully explain the world and applies to housing, AND that an individual can denounce landlords morally with the phrase "greedy". However, the OP cannot reconcile the two concepts, they said.

Next, the idea that landlords are a unified group with a common set of designs is itself a premise that requires a little bit of legwork. Here's one. What are landlord expenses versus their expenditures. Are they large or small landlords. etc. To hell with nuance, let's create an Us v Them type of discourse, and see who bites.
How would we go about proving that a news source claiming to be those things are actually real, truly unbiased, truth seeking, and fact checking?

The same for in house employees, because you aren't paying additional $1000's to give them a spot, desk, heating, cooling, bathrooms, break rooms, parking space, or cleaning crews nor security. Remotes save you a schmitt ton of money, you just need to recognize this.

Well, people are working actively on Chrome and Firefox, and people are building new browsers on top of webkit often enough.

If you mean an alternative browser not based on the 3 major rendering engines, well that one is not really surprising given that you need a large team to concentrate on it.

My mother in law is 89 and lives alone in Japan. While it's not perfect it's amazing the difference between the system there vs the system in America. I think one of the problems with Elder care in the US is that it's hard to talk about Elder care while we are still arguing about universal health care. It's also hard to talk about how we could create a similar system in the US, because the basis for the system is adult children care for their parents, and mandatory long term care insurance provides coverage where that is not possible.
My point wasn't about the pay figure exactly, just that if you want more money than they want to pay, that's not ageism it's wanting more money than a position is worth to someone.

> companies refuse to hire them (I don't know if that's ageism but that's certainly something)

What is it then? Nobody is owed a job as a human right, and companies are under no obligation to hire a specific person.
>Generally, he’d get the same kind of answer: the industry had run out of “low-hanging fruit.”

>In the course of his own later investigations, Scannell began to focus on a serious technical problem called “model validity,”

(Sentences adjacent in original.)

The problem, here, I think, is backwards. I have a little window into the world of drug discovery by a decade-long interest in nootropics (tl;dr: I don't take them anymore).

These statements aren't wrong, but they obscure the history. The way we discovered antidepressants was mostly like this:

- tuberculosis patients treated with hydrazines become "inappropriately" happy

- modified hydrazines first used to treat depression

- hydrazines shown to increase serotonin levels by monoamine oxidase inhibition, now called MAOIs

- serotonin hypothesis of depression developed

- serotonin-targeting drugs developed for depression

There are a few more steps here, but the point is: the low-hanging fruit was the hydrazine, then we climbed the tree and got SSRIs.

The problem is that we started climbing all the trees with low fruit but never developed a way to find new trees. We also stopped looking for low-hanging fruit, in that we don't test random drugs on people the way we used to in the '40s. Everything has to be justified by an existing theory even though the existing theories are nowhere near comprehensive or complete.

I don't think we should start testing random drugs on people, but I do think we need to avoid this framing of the problem. We don't understand human biology that well. Our primary focus needs to be not on developing drugs per se but on understanding the extremely intricate hydrogen-bonded nanomachines they're supposed to modify.

But relative to that, our efforts to find drugs should be tempered by a certain humility about the validity of even our most "well-understood" theories. Most of them were developed by accident. The whole risk-averse investing and management apparatus wants reliable theories, so researchers need to be louder about the fact that in many biology problems we don't have reliable theories. We have moderately supported working models.
This seems true in 99% of cases, but it seems the rule is not quite as simple.

"If you are an American citizen, you must enter the US on a US passport" is true for air travel. If you travel by land or sea, it is possible to enter with other documents (driver's licence, birth certificate... see https://help.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-3618?language=en_US).

This is especially important in times of pandemic when the US government elects to stop processing passports and dual citizens may hold a passport of another country to be able to travel out, only to have re-entry problematic upon return...
