Punishment is meant to deter others from doing the crime (whether or not that works is another issue), so I think you're correct.

If people/organizations are committing a crime, then one reason may be that the punishment/deterrent is too lax.

(There's of course other reasons, like the law making the act a crime is bad in some way, or the individual/organization has no, or knows of no, alternative.)

Is there a track and tracing app in the West that has not been a failure by any reasonable metric?

IMHO, these apps required clear sanitary objectives, centralised data handling, and governments' leadership. Instead, everywhere it seems that people got sucked into debates on privacy, "innovative solutions", and governments' involvement, with private companies without any prior experience of the domain (public health and infectious disease management) developing their own apps in a completely haphazard way and with a great lack of political courage from governments.

I had predicted many months ago these apps would end up nowhere for the reasons above and, unfortunately that's exactly what happened.

We could have looked at how China did it for example. But then one of the issues politically is that anyone suggesting that would be pilloried for wanting to "turn the country into a tyranny"...

Regarding your point about technical issues, they may be an "innovative startup" but what is their experience about large scale systems? This did not require to be innovative, it required a large scale, robust, and centralised system in order to deliver the most results in terms of public health.

I feel this was the moment idealism crashed into reality.

How have I never seen this before? This is amazing! I've been looking for something like this for ages.
First, I am probably as much as a layman as you. But from what I have read and some quick googling now, there is no additional risk or appreciative difference. Although I did find a few regulations that the general public should not be exposed to any sort of radiation higher than 10 µSv per hour. However I believe that is to prevent regular people unknowingly being around high radiation sources that would add up to a high cumulative total, since the general public does not have any way to track their cumulative exposure, not a problem with that level of single dose radiation per se.

Ionizing radiation damage is overwhelmingly and almost exclusively in its cumulative effects, namely the cancer it can cause. Each “unit” of radiation has a certain likelihood of slicing through the DNA of one of your cells, which has a certain likelihood of causing a mutation, which has a certain likelihood of being a cancerous mutation and not a “kills the cell” mutation, which has a certain likelihood of being a specific type that can evade all the body’s natural defenses against rouge cells. It is a long chain of dice rolls that have to all go just wrong.

So, unless the dose is concentrated to a physical location, e.g. radon in the lungs or sunburn on the skin, then it doesn’t really matter if you get a given dose over a month or a year. It will still start the same number of cascading dice rolls.

If someone that actually knows what they are talking about feels the need to correct anything, please do.

Why would people be discontented? It's just numbers. West coast office work would happen 11a-7p USA Time, while the Midwest/Texas does 9-5 and the East Coast does 8a-4p.

“Although chronic effects of remaining in daylight saving time year-round have not been well studied, daylight saving time is less aligned with human circadian biology—which, due to the impacts of the delayed natural light/dark cycle on human activity, could result in circadian misalignment, which has been associated in some studies with increased cardiovascular disease risk, metabolic syndrome and other health risks. It is, therefore, the position of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine that these seasonal time changes should be abolished in favor of a fixed, national, year-round standard time.”
It is not. It is absolutely not neurotoxic nor have any other measurable physical detriments.
It's not about the number of decisions they've made, it's specifically about decisions to ban Apps that were already approved to the store.

How many Apps are banned after having been approved? I would certainly hope they haven't had to ban thousands, millions or tens of millions of Apps after they had approved them to the store. That would speak to a very big problem with the initial review process that admits an App into the store.
> Now, Iranian people hate the Islamic Republic and would get rid of them if they could. But the Islamic Republic has no limits. They would shoot and kill and many as it takes.

That's the problem with dictatorships. The only way to purchase a democracy again is with a lot of blood. Hopefully you had some sort of 2A rights (probably not since they are first to go under dictatorship) or else you'll be relying a lot on foreign provided weapons to break free in the future. Good luck, bad governments almost never "natually" become better over time. Power will continue to be consolidated.

Basically your whole comment amounts to "yes our government is evil, but we can't do anything to change it without people dying, and we aren't willing to do that so... just remove all the sanctions because people are suffering and it's better to have an evil government prosper than to prevent it from prospering by making its citizens suffer"

That said, I don't think Iranians should be barred from GitHub. Free exchange of ideas and code should be available universally.
This is misleading at best.

Every country that has the ability to enrich uranium is 99% of the way there towards developing nuclear weapons.

Iran feels threatened. Countries that have felt threatened (North Korea, India, Pakistan, Israel) have developed nuclear weapons.

The sanctions are there as a deterrent to Iran having a Nuclear weapons program.

Anyone who thinks it is possible for a country to have Nuclear power but not nuclear weapons is a fool.

Hey jaren hope things are well at Robinhood. Good question, there's a diagram on what a default deployment looks like alongside the M3 v1.0 announcement https://medium.com/chronosphere/m3-v1-0-released-a-productio... and in depth documentation on the website https://m3db.io/docs/overview/.

Storage, aggregation and compute are all separate and scale up/down independently. The coordinator and query services are both stateless and you just add more instances, DB nodes do not do compression/decompression for instance all this happens as part of computation on the query service.

M3DB for storage has a k8s operator that can manage clusters (expansion, etc), and the M3 aggregator can be deployed as a stateful set in k8s and also can be independently expanded.

https://www.thefreedictionary.com/Hypocracy

It's clearly _not_ hypocrisy by any normal definition of the word.

I mean, first of all EVs isn't just about cutting CO2-emissions. Norway is very concerned about local pollution, and EVs is pretty superior there.

And Norway does not believe that they're the good guys when it comes to CO2 emissions, at all. There's a continuous debate about what to do about the oil/gas production though, and there's some pretty strong arguments that cutting oil/gas would do nothing or even be damaging to global CO2 emissions. Cutting production will easily be offset by other countries with worse emissions in their production chain. Cutting off gas to Germany will either push them back to coal or to Russian gas. And most of those other countries are not investing as much of their oil profits in renewables and EV tech. I'm not sure I agree with this line of though, but it's valid because it depends on knowledge of alternative futures that we just don't know.

I mean if you think it's hypocrisy you're free to do so, but it's not very productive. What action should Norway take to reduce the worlds CO2 emissions more than they are? The Norwegian green party wants to cut all oil/gas production by 2035. Is that enough, or should they have cut everything already?

I think they're desperate for short term credibility, both for political reasons and for health reasons.

The "health reasons" part goes like this: If I say "From what we know now, we think the best plan is for people to do X", how many people actually do X? Fewer than if I project more certainty. So even if I know that X is just our current best understanding (say, 60% probability of being right), we still have a better expectation value of the outcome if more people follow the plan that has 60% chance of being right. So I oversell the certainty to up the compliance, in the hope that it's actually helpful.

The problem is that, while this may help in the short term, in the medium term I'm setting my credibility on fire, and if we need compliance in the future on a plan that we're 80% sure is right, we may not get it, because nobody believes me by then.

I am hoping for UX refresh instead of a UI refresh. UI is on the surface, UX is everything else.

I am genuinely hoping for more pen & touch-screen focused accomodations too. The keyboard/mouse experience for windows is already decent enough, but these new input devices need help. This is especially true with the ipad pro becoming more of a general purpose computing device.

Lastly, I hope windows puts more care into revamping curation of various app/program stores/managers. Chocolatey is great, but is a pain to use and isn't as widely supported. The windows store has a few gems in what is a sea f spam apps.

Lastly Lastly, better native tiling, search and workspace management please. (I know powertoys exists, but why not integrate it directly)
People work together on things during the day and also happen to want to be able to visit stores and businesses around the same time every day. Also people sleep at night because it's easier to sleep in the dark than in the light. It sounds pompous to act like the clock is some sort of religious ritual and how anyone that wakes up in the morning to go to a 9-5 job is just a sheep. Most people like being awake when other people are awake so every one can do things together. Just like how NTP helps synchronize devices across the internet, regular clocks help people do the same.

> Whether pilot wave theory can be made consistent with at least special relativity is still open as far as I know

It can be made consistent, namely, adding a foliation (a notion of a canonical present moment) makes it work out fine. The foliation is not detectable, it gives the right predictions, it is mathematically sound, etc.

But it does feel philosophically sketchy and not fundamentally relativistic. However, there is a paper https://arxiv.org/abs/1307.1714 which explores how to derive foliations from the wave function itself and thus would be as relativistic as in theory involving the wave function.

The article also points to other articles with a variety of ideas how to deal with nonlocality in Bohmian mechanics.

This is annoying, but I am not quite convinced that this requires pulling Termux from the Play Store. I mean, to be honest, Android is literally "easy mode" compared to iOS even after this change, and just having access to execmem would be enough for any iOS app to write a very capable Termux–and that's even without proot involved. I'm seeing claims of execmem possibly going away as a reason to not write their own loader (which is basically the only component they need) but that would require banning all alternative web browser engines from the store, which would be a much larger change in policy than banning exec from certain directories.

They discuss this. From the paper: "the fraction of participants contributing to only one fund in the NEW relative to the other cohorts cannot be explained entirely by a shift in the composition of participants due to the substantial effects of automatic enrollment on 401(k) participation."

So the increased participation may have caused a shift to some degree. (Maybe those less likely to participate normally often choose a more conservative investment?) But not entirely.

> Second, it should be the default that the status quo is a bad thing;

> Third, it should be the default to move fast, and value experimentation over perfection.

These two bullets are the same. Rather, the latter is both necessary and sufficient for the former. Without experimentation (implying the evaluation of success and the intent to abandon unsuccessful methods), defaulting to status quo is preferable.

> If you had a real job and donated half your income to the cause, both you and the cause would be better off.

This argument takes as an unstated axiom that the correct way to organize society is by having everyone in a role that strictly maximizes that system's assessment of their economic output. It then concludes that the correct way to effect change is to embrace that system and after the results are in, redirect those economic outputs to desired goals.

As the reader may have noticed in examining that unstated premise, this presents quite a dilemma when it becomes clear that this way of organizing society is in fact itself the main cause of the human misery you're trying to eliminate.
There are two ways to communicate with ppl outside your org without federation (this is covered on the website):

1) Set up a second TMTP service where customers and/or suppliers can create accounts, along with employees who need to interact with them.

2) Have some employees join a third-party service which is open to all involved in your field. There is a risk of phishing in this case, but:

. a) anyone you haven't previously contacted is limited to short, plain-text communications to you (see Ping in protocol), and

. b) such third-party services would typically charge a fee to members and impose a small cost per-ping, and

. c) you know that you're dealing with unknown entities with possibly malicious intent.

TMTP clients support active logins to accounts on any number of TMTP servers, just as browsers support multiple active connections to websites.

> The goal of the sanctions are to make people of Iran so miserable that they would go in streets and start a revolution.

It's not the only or even the main goal. The main goal of such sanctions is to Iranian government to not have resources for war and terrorism. And it seems that in this regard, these sanctions work just fine.

I don't know what else could be reasonably expected from US by all the other ME countries.
I don't understand the sentiment. The reason we're set to follow the federal standard is because we voted for it on a ballot measure. (CA) So we're obviously exercising states rights.

I will say, however, that the ballot measure was confused by the arguments, with both sides arguing against time changes.
Edit: it is indeed Iran, except that it is now fixed relative to the Islamic lunar calendar (so updates can be pushed as soon as Iran declares what is the date corresponding to the Gregorian calendar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_Standard_Time).

Nope, it happens about quarterly because no-one can predict the moon and the cloud cover with such precision (I believe it's Iran, but I might be wrong and it might be another Arab country) among other things.
Hi there,

I created this small tool to mock HTTP endpoints and dynamically configure how they respond to requests, comes handy to quickly test monitoring tools.

More than open to feedback and ideas on how it can be more useful, the way we envision it is a very simple and easy to use version of AWS Lambda with focus on HTTP requests forwarding, manipulation.
The sanctions are meant to put pressure on Iran to stop development of nuclear weapons. A regime change is not a likely consequence of sanctions, it's much more likely that the Iranian government looks at the economic toll of it's choice to pursue nuclear weapons development and decides to change course. Without a doubt these sanctions cause much misery - the bulk of it inflicted on everyday people who are not decision makers in the country. But allowing a country that regularly threatens to wipe other countries off the map to develop nuclear weapons stands to create orders of magnitude more misery than economic sanctions.
