I've never had "toxic" bosses. I've had bosses that treated their underlings like tools that they owned, whose purpose was to enact the plans that they had made. Maybe some people are ok with that but I'm not. Sometime I have my own ideas and I want to try them out without being questioned. Fortunately most of my bosses have been easy going "if you have a good idea and it's good for the company then do it" types.

I actually counted recently and it's 6 out of 8 bosses that have been good like that. Fortunately we're in a seller's market. People really do quit bosses.
I kind of agree... although I still think F# is a win over C#. IMO the syntax is much nicer and idiomatic F# is still pretty fast.

However, I wish the compiler would more aggressively optimise things so that I can dip into this style less often. I shouldn’t have to write the imperative stuff if the translation is mechanical!

The C++ compilers do far more work for the user, despite F# being a language much more conducive to being optimised.

It would be great if Microsoft Research could sponsor a project in this area.
Thank you for the response.
I come from a country, that is still strongly catholic, and it does remind me a lot of what I'd seen there with some devoted catholics. I think your diagnosis of "proselytizing" hit the nail on the head.

"Any company that hires a lot of young people / entry level developers is going to have way more of the activist types. Especially if they're right out of university. "

I think you might be right, in my previous job, it was a fresh out of the uni junior programmer who literally transformed the whole company that way.
Those impulses are the reason we care to investigate crimes, capture criminals, put them on trial, and then punish them.

Something in the region of 13% of the U.K. population already own crypto. I expect it’s similar in many other countries.

What happens if the government forbids owning crypto in that situation?

My best guess would be capital flight. Anyone with any money, in crypto or not, would immediately start to look at options to get money out of the country.

Many governments just haven’t realised this and will learn the hard way.

Not really. Expanding rights to religious freedom means taking away certain right for others, see eg the gay wedding cake debacle. Expanding rights to "gender self-ID" treads on certain women's rights, see eg single-sex prisons and rape shelters, or the case of Jessica Yaniv in Canada. Expanding free speech rights means reducing people's right to not hear speech they find threatening or offensive. And those are just the obvious examples I can think of immediately.

If no-one's rights were ever in conflict then politics would be much easier than it actually is.
From the article (towards the end):

> If the vaccine induces an immune response in the blood, then it almost certainly induces one in the mucus lining, but the reverse does not hold. So a positive blood antibody test means it definitely works, a negative antibody test is a weak update against.

> So, we’ll do (up to) two more blood tests. The first will be two weeks after our third (weekly) dose; that one is the “optimistic” test, in case three doses is more-than-enough already. That one is optimistic for another reason as well: synthesis/delivery of three of the nine peptides was delayed, so our first three doses will only use six of them. If the optimistic test comes back positive, great, we’re done.

> If that test comes back negative, then the next test will be the “more dakka” test. We’ll add the other three peptides, take another few weeks of boosters, maybe adjust frequency and/or dosage - we’ll consider exactly what changes to make if and when the optimistic test comes back negative. Risks are very minimal (again, see the paper), so throwing more dakka at it makes sense.

> Consider this a pre-registration. I intend to share my test results here.
If I recall correctly, that instruction doubled the clock speed of the M6809, usually at the expense of making it go out of sync with the woeful 6847 video chip, putting colorful garbage on the screen.
My slightly different look on SPACs:

SPACs are more like Handshake deals.

When two people trust each others, you can save a lot of time and money with a handshake deal. You agree on something, and then (optionally) get lawyers do the paperwork.

I find SPACs similar because investors and the SPAC owners have a mutual trust about smartly using that raised money to bring a great companies public.

You can totally get burned, but personally I trust someone like Chamath to make great decisions. So, in my view, I've got a handshake deal with him where he smartly uses my capital to bring great companies public. It's a win win.
I don't know why but performance issues have become very common in modern games. Lots of games fail to scale to significant multiplayer populations. I still remember playing San Andreas Multiplayer/Multi Theft Auto and Just Cause 2 Multiplayer. In all three the multiplayer support is provided by a third party mod and they still managed to scale to hundreds of players per server.
It's these sorts of things that make me realize that people just don't care about the health of the open web, or about protecting their privacy.

Ultimately this is a super minor issue (and turns out there's a way to fix it, per the sibling comment), but everyone just has their own pet excuse why they "can't" change to a browser that is objectively better for the web in every way.

Tragedy of the commons, I guess.

US companies won't be running Uyghur reeducation camps in China even though that is lawful in China and may be their best way to source the right labor.

Is everything happening anyway and with more cost by keeping a separation between US companies/nationals and crimes under US law? Sure. Is it still better? Mercenaries that come back having done "legal" things in foreign countries are a social plague and their connections to groups the US considers criminal are problematic.

To not pick only on China, any US national who works with spyware for the Saudi regime is a criminal under US law, and that is important because they need to be watched when they return to the US to prevent them from assisting in assasinations in US/Canada. Does it matter if the crown prince made their actions in Saudi Arabia legal?

In China, at least in cities, glasses are cheap. And so are eye tests (or at least tests to check the level of myopia in each eye).

IIRC, myopia is less prevalent in rural China than in cities, presumably because kids in rural areas spend more time outdoors. So perhaps people with glasses are more privileged on average, but maybe not because eyecare is unaffordable.
I feel you, I have currently the chance to start a greendfield project,

That's right. We're only interested in quality professional work, as any business would. Sub-par work just causes the rest of us problems.
Meanwhile, offering high quality FMT transplants is a huge startup opportunity. People who need FMT are very sick, desperate, and willing to pay thousands of dollars to get it done. Recently, I have spent $2000 to order poop from the internet.

Finding a high quality doctor is extremely difficult for a normal person. You have to find someone who is young, athletic, very healthy, never taken antibiotics, and then do some medical tests on them (pretty much everything that's wrong with a person can be transferred through FMT). Finding such person, bringing up the subject with them, and getting them agree to help is very hard.

A company who could find and screen high quality FMT donors could make thousands of dollars just selling poop. Hundreds, if you're willing to drop prices to help people.

All you have to do is find a healthy person who matches the criteria, and spend $2000-$3000 doing a number of blood/stool tests (and retest them every few months). Also figure out how to freeze/package/ship the transplants in a way that does the least harm to the microbes.

If you are a healthy person who fits the description (or know someone who is), and are willing to help - please send me an email - fmthelp@protonmail.com

It used to be pretty common for RAM or peripherals to have wait states, or REQ/ACK handshakes, or similar mechanisms that would allow the peripheral to request a variable amount of time to respond.

It lists the total population for each age group. Just the 35 to 44 age group is above 99.98% (given the death counts in younger age groups it's obviously still true if you include them in the calculation):

(1-7057/41659144)*100=99.983%

I expect the individual probability of surviving infection is not that high for each member of the group though. It's not clear if that meaning is intended anywhere above.
The lifetime risk of getting colon cancer is 4% for men. It's the third leading cause of cancer deaths.

I bought a ridiculously cheap Android tablet from AliExpress many years ago, and didn’t even know that Android on MIPS was a thing. Until I received the tablet in the mail and learned that it had a MIPS ISA CPU. Many apps on Google Play would not install on the device, because they were for ARM only. Things may have changed since then idk, I haven’t used Android in many years. But the experience at the time was, well... The tablet ended up in a drawer and has been sitting there since.

I should add though, regardless of whether app compatibility is a problem or not still that app compatibility was not the main reason for relegating the tablet to sit in a drawer.

The main reason was battery life. Not surprising given how cheap it was. And it was really slow. But those two things aren’t meant as a knock on MIPS. They obviously put in the cheapest CPU and the lowest capacity cheapest battery to make the tablet as cheap as it was. Just adding this to explain why I ended up not using the tablet for anything at all.

Oh yeah, this is so true! Ten years ago, when I joined the project, it was just Pierre (Spyder's original author) and me. Then, in 2016, Anaconda gave us the resources to hire three developers part-time to work on the project, which was a huge boost (between 2012 and 2016 it was mostly me and three or four volunteers).

Now we have a team of five people working part or full time on Spyder, all hired by Quansight: https://www.quansight.com/

So you can expect lots more good things to come in the future.

Almost all of the news media were cheerleaders for the Iraq War:

"It’s been forgotten this was actually a business-wide consensus, which included the enthusiastic participation of a blue-state intelligentsia. The New Yorker of Remnick, who himself wrote a piece called “Making the Case,” was a source of many of the most ferocious pro-invasion pieces, including a pair written by current Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg, one of a number of WMD hawks who failed up after the war case fell apart. Other prominent Democrat voices like Ezra Klein, Jonathan Chait, and even quasi-skeptic Nick Kristof (who denounced war critics for calling Bush a liar) were on board, as a Full Metal Jacket character put it, “for the big win.”

The Washington Post and New York Times were key editorial-page drivers of the conflict; MSNBC unhired Phil Donahue and Jesse Ventura over their war skepticism; CNN flooded the airwaves with generals and ex-Pentagon stoolies, and broadcast outlets ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS stacked the deck even worse: In a two-week period before the invasion, the networks had just one American guest out of 267 who questioned the war, according to Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting."

The reason SPACs work has nothing to do with hype. People hype shit on the Internet all the time. There's no insight here.

One reason SPACs work is that Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Berkshire Hathaway and (to a lesser extent) Microsoft are sitting on huge cash piles and not doing acquisitions. For almost a decade. So of course high quality mid-caps are going to be "cheap." So while I appreciate your appeal to stuff that isn't fundamentals, it seems like the imbalance between supply of midcaps and demand for acquiring them would be an opportunity.
What's the difference between a cancel culture Twitter campaign and other Twitter campaigns?
That's what I had assumed too, but there are several factors that dominate, statistically:

When you do a crime close to home you blend in, you are more likely to know about the opportunities, and you can more quickly/easily escape home.

Crimes of passion and opportunity are by definition done where you happen to be, which is likely to be where you typically are anyway.

Many "crimes" are really defined to control populations, so the people committing them aren't really criminals and of course such "crimes" are enforced where the target population lives.

Of course crimes are also committed by people who don't live nearby, but they seem to be a small minority of crimes, though a large majority of book/movie crimes (otherwise...how boring those stories would be)
