SpaceX and Tesla are both doing amazing things, no doubt. But there is a difference in how they got off the ground.

SpaceX did everything it could to collect and leverage what was known about making rockets. They climbed as high as they could onto the shoulders of previous efforts before they started inventing. Remember, Musk started out trying to buy rockets. It was only after he had done all that research that he started to realize that he could make them instead.

With Tesla, Musk did less of that. He allowed himself to think that since automakers couldn’t see the obvious opportunity in electric cars, they were hopelessly outdated in everything. Turns out that was wrong; carmakers do actually know how to make cars. This is evident in Tesla mistakes like buying a production line and not proving it before trying to use it in production.

Musk is extremely smart and Tesla is full of smart people. They are making huge strides and maybe their manufacturing ops will pass existing automakers someday. But they haven’t yet (despite the hype), and I think they would be in even better shape today if they had been a bit more humble and done a more thorough job of tapping what was already known about automaking.
The objective of this research seems to be understanding the mechanism, not just the result. That is something worth studying.
Not all fats are created equal.

There's data pointing that Omega-6 fatty acids (primarily vegetable/seed oils and trans fats) are harmful.

It obviously doesn't. It's not that black and white.
I would be shocked if the social workers riding around in vans are allowed to commit people. Social workers are kind of like nurses in that very few of them hold a PHD and they generally aren't allowed to diagnose or prescribe(varies by state and education level). They can provide all sorts of support, advice, counseling, etc to people in crisis, but when it comes to people who need to be committed, social workers mostly call 911 and hand it off to the cops, same as the rest of us. They can refer you for a voluntary psyc eval with a psychologist, or advise the judge that it might be a good idea to send you for an involuntary one rather than just sending you to prison, but they have very little power to decide anything for you. And if they're even remotely competent and you're not a blatant menace to society, then they're generally trying to keep you safe, stable, and out of institutions as much as reasonably possible. The whole ethos of social work is very different than psychology or law enforcement. It's very much focused on what concrete, practical things can be done to improve your health, happiness, safety, and quality of life. A lot of times it's simply hooking people up with services that they aren't savvy enough to find or access without help, or helping them get through stressful situation without falling apart and going to jail, using drugs, etc.
Food supply is not the problem with world hunger. There's more than enough food to go around, and if there weren't that's actually a problem that money would solve very well. The problem is getting the food to the people regardless of circumstance, such as war, repressive regimes, natural disasters, and other problems.

Vaccines are similar: vaccinating the world will be logistically very very hard. But vaccinating first-world countries is a lot easier, and supply of vaccine in rich countries absolutely is a problem that can be solved with more money and resources. The fact that we've had so much trouble solving it is a political problem.
> File under shit we didn’t need to study.

At first glance this seems very obviously wrong. Can you elaborate why you think there is no value in understanding the impact of things like diet on development and beyond?

Another thing that doesn't seem to line up with reality is the idea that they might convince Nvidia to make their stuff FOSS enough to be included in this project.
> Their situation is a bit stickier being hardware brands,

I agree with your general point but not this part. Apple products still find their way into countries with no Apple Stores. I don't think selling physical products really makes the situation much sticker. If Apple chose to be a pure hardware company and refused to do any business in Pakistan, Pakistanis could still purchase Apple devices through the usual resellers and/or [black/gray]markets. Pakistan would have no leverage over Apple, as you point out, and Apple would not be a participant in the implementation totalitarianism (as they presently are.)

Chiquita/Columbia/FARC after Sept 11, AFAIK the actual crime they were fined for was the bribery (past payments to govt side), though they had the new problem of terrorist lists (any future payments to FARC side).
Apple is not against sanctions, so there is no comparison.

If the US government includes technology restrictions as sanctions against Pakistan, I expect Apple would comply.
If you're telling your friend about your dinner last night, you probably say "Chinese restaurant" but if you're trying to discover new restaurants through search you probably use "Asian restaurant".
RISC-V has a huge effort behind it to run all available open source software. Even though there’s a MIPS Android port, it just doesn’t have the amount of backing that RISC-V is getting from hundreds of companies (basically all big companies)

You're right that if they ran open platforms where they don't have the power to ban apps this never would have happened: someone else who made a basically malware-free experience for phones would be in that position instead.

An "open platform" where every inexperienced user can install whatever they want on their device is a world where most every phone has several remote access malware/spyware packages installed on it.

Centralizing these functions is good, in some respects.

Hello! Great product and congrats on the launch!

I wanted to pile on a little bit here and say this paragraph isn't really comforting to me:

> While unlikely to happen, it is possible for a savvy user to open their browser's developer console, obtain your MagicBell project's API key from your website's source, initialize the widget on their own website with your API key but with a different user's email (if its feasible for them to guess one) and start viewing notifications of that user.

I suspect this was done for developer experience reasons? You seem to know it's not secure to pass in an email directly, especially if anything sensitive is coming across in notifications.

For me at least, allowing the non-HMAC configuration makes me wonder what other security corners have been cut. I'd rather that option didn't exist and the company took a more security-forward stance.
Ok then, let’s say users.
Agree except interview even more often, as soon as minor issues emerge. Interview a few times a year for no reason whatsoever. Interview because you're tired of the way the boss' tie looks, or because maybe you'll get another 10K a year. Doesn't mean you're unhappy, or that you're even interested in these other companies, but it keeps you in touch and you just never know.
Some people and computers watch things, like how long you brush your teeth. Then they tell other people and computers about it to make beautiful drawings of what they have seen. For example they will draw a flower everytime you brush your teeth long enough.

Then the responsibles people look at the drawings and decide what to do, like giving you ice-cream if they see a lot of flowers on the drawings.

You have a lot of people who want to do the drawings and they can work together to make bigger and more beautiful drawings.
Heroin actually gets the job done and you can tell if its working. Not so with this.
I lived in SF proper for many years. The lack of prosecution for smash & grabs absolutely led to an increase of more smash & grabs. Here's an article Google found for me easily: https://sfist.com/2017/08/31/massive_jump_in_san_francisco_c... (and don't skip the comments) - people simply stopped reporting smash & grab because they knew it was useless.
But this very case is an example of a corporate taxpayer getting screwed over by municipal indifference (to the point where they were hiring private security, but even that was not enough).

> I would argue that saying all GMO products are equal and the entire concept is safe is also not correct.

GMO products are as (un)safe as all other products. This label just has not meaning related to safety. You can create harmful products using GM or by x-ray irradiation (which doesn't count as GM) or by using fertilizers. The "non-GMO" label is simply misleading, it doesn't mean what people think it means.

> To me, "GMOs are totally safe" sounds a lot like saying "chemicals are totally safe."

So do you suggest to print on every product (food or not) "chemical-free"?
Well, they could have been reading conservapedia
> A "provider of the platform" should have no power to have any say in what apps are installed on a user-owned device, in which case it would be impossible to coerce them into banning this or that.

What if end users who buy the device WANT the manufacturer to have that power, to keep their device malware- and spyware-free?
Unless you really love the job/company and/or are really getting paid, the cost-benefit of "fighting the fight" is not favorable.

Even getting a peer level narcissist neutralized or managed out can easily take 1-2 years of consistent, coordinated daily effort.

This sounds obvious but it might be differentially applicable across cases.

We have really drastically lowered the bar for what gets called "toxic", "dangerous", "harmful" or even "violent". This has happened steadily and with increasing speed over the last ~3 generations, in my subjective observations.

I think the pendulum has swung too far with emotional and (now increasingly) ideological/theoretical safetyism.

It will be interesting to see where the middle ground is, or whether it just results in collapse of competence and output. I hope I'm wrong but over time it feels like the latter is where we're heading.
For future reference, having done it both ways - finding a good out for yourself(and putting your oxygen mask on first) is usually better for the people under you too, as it shows them what they should be doing AND gives them (often) a place they can reach out to and land.
I worked on holographic data storage in LiNbO3 crystals in the early 2000 years. We had a lab prototype which would store over 1 GB in roughly a sugar cube size of crystal. The technology is certainly possible. However, the amount of optics required made it a huge and expensive system and there was not a lot of funding. Using modern diode lasers, the setup could be minimized a lot.
However, the big limit is the wavelength of light. Green light has roughly 500nm of wavelength, and that determines the smalles features. This value back then was small but is huge compared to modern chip structures. We were losing the density battle even back then. There is one trait still not matched though: stability. Those crystals are about the toughest things imaginable. Unless you smash them with a hammer, they won't rot or decay. Storage times of hundreds if not thousands of years would be possible.
After I got all the achievements I started playing some mod packs. About a year ago I found a nice discord group that does a new map roughly every month. It’s full of mods and different things. Yes it’s still factorio but we have a pretty small group of dedicated players who enjoy hanging out online with each other and factorio is how we choose to do it.

The overhaul mod packs can pretty drastically change the game experience. It scratches the programming itch while being a break from actual programming.

I’m sure the pandemic added a multiplier to those hours that I wouldn’t have seen otherwise. But I’m quite enjoying it.
Ah, I see the "Equation Editor" moniker is now defunct. I've long been in the
LaTeX camp, so I've no idea what's transpired since 1990s when I last used
a quasi-wysiwig entry called "Equation Editor."

How you managed to conclude LaTeX entry is now more popular than whatever

For a small website, double-clicking to open an HTML file in the browser would work just as well as nginx. You’d have to stick with relative URLs for links and image sources but that is a minor limitation.

Agreed. I am actually working on making an app that effectively does all of this natively, that is extremely customizable, for both Oculus and SteamVR systems.

You may want to check out SeeingVRToolkit, which was made by Microsoft to make VR accessible to the visually impaired. Retinopsy Look VR utilizes this.

See: https://github.com/microsoft/SeeingVRtoolkit

With Retinopsy VR, reading dense and long material in VR is extremely easy and immersive. I find it far more enjoyable than reading physical books, even without using a screenreader.

I also have ADHD, and reading in VR is far more immersive (and especially with a screen reader utilizing multimodal highlighting). I can learn a lot better because the text is right in my face, being read aloud to me, with changing colors highlighted to the audio, which I cannot escape and drift off from in VR.

Anyways, I do all my coding in VR using Retinopsy VR. It allows me to really buckle down and focus. I sit on the couch reclined and I have my keyboard and mouse on a very stable lap desk, the Couchmaster Cycon 2. I also have headset strap stabilizers/modifiers from Studioform Creative so I can use my headset for several hours.
Sounds like my recent issue in Java with underlying library icu4j, which gives a nice start error ("Invalid version number: Version number may be negative or greater than 255"). Is an issue on quite a few versions of this lib.

What kind of idiot thought hard enough when doing this to actually create a custom error message instead of letting it go is slightly beyond my comprehension.
There is more to the story of childhood diet than simple narratives of cheap nutrition, though that certainly plays a massive role. Consider, for instance, eating disorders, including some which may be mistaken for playing into aforementioned narrative, such as binge eating (a common symptom among eating disorders in general and often co-morbid with eating comforting but "bad" food) and picky eating (such as ARFID, also correlated with eating comforting but "bad" food). In neither situation is the consumption of the "bad" food the cause or most even the most harmful symptom.

And I know at least one researcher who started looking more deeply into the impact of the gut biome on health because of the demonstrated link between bacteria and ulcers.

At some point, I would expect a fecal sample/biome to be part of one's periodic physical so that we could build a data set of biomes + medical history database that is a bit more comprehensive than the voluntary ones that exist today.
- How many TB are you backing up?

- How frequently do you perform backups?

- How often do you do fulls vs incremental?

- What drive/autoloader are you using, and what was the total investment in drive + tapes?

I keep considering a used LTO but I've only got 20 TB and it doesn't seem worth the trouble. I should just buy another 20 TB of drives and keep them offline when not backing up.
One nice thing with open source is that often you don't have to use a "vanilla" version of a given system. I'm using Ubuntu but I view Unity and Gnome-Shell as brain-dead, tablet oriented interfaces but fortunately, I can use Ubuntu Mate and don't have to deal with this stuff at all.

I mostly like where Firefox is going, I like it's multiple identity tabs and it's general look. But it might help Mozilla to work out various ways to make sufficiently "skinnable" that someone else could maintain a Chrome-like version for all those people who like whatever it is about Chrome that's cool.

RSU grants are afaik usually on a per unit basis based on the price when you start. So if the current stock price is $20/share and you get $20k worth of RSUs then that means you get 1k shares. If the value per share goes up to $100 then your RSUs are now worth $100k. This is why some tech company employees have massive stock compensations, the stock has gone up a lot since their initial offer.
You could probably sterilise it so there's absolutely no live anything remaining and people would still buy it. But yes, it's probably a tough market :-P

Yes; there are similar risks. Working on something for years that might not work, or not pass clinical trials or whatever.

I have suspected for much of the last year that a lot of people are running on an unexamined "Only crazy people think vaccines cause autism -> Only crazy people think vaccines are ever dangerous in any way -> All vaccines are perfectly safe" psuedo-syllogism.

This is false.

Put another way, the very fact that we run such massive tests on them before deploying them is itself evidence that the wrong ones can be very dangerous. (Mostly, as I understand it, "very dangerous" to a small set of people who will have very large reactions, even if most people are fine. The ones that are very dangerous to everyone never gets past the initial phases at all, of course.) We're not doing that because vaccines are all perfectly safe under all conditions, but we just want to hold them back for a year for no reason. We're doing it because we need to be very careful with them.

Though I'd also observe a non-trivial component of that danger is also because we're injecting them. Bypassing the body's co-evolved with the environment's defenses is not to be done lightly. This sort of inhaled vaccine is likely to be much less dangerous. I won't say "safe", but less dangerous; the body already has to deal with essentially arbitrary small amino acid sequences being inhaled all the time. I'd still be a bit worried about sythesizing things that we haven't co-evolved with.

(If you don't know what co-evolution is, I'd suggesting taking a moment to learn about it: https://www.britannica.com/science/coevolution It's a very important part of understanding the disease landscape holistically.)
Why wouldn't they be willing volunteers?

It would be quite possible for it to clearly be informed consent also, at least to the extent the disease was characterized at that point in time.

The reason people keep bringing it up is that the consequences of the pandemic have been much worse than the consequences of allowing a few thousand people to intentionally expose themselves to an infection in a controlled setting¹. It's not guaranteed that challenge trials would have mitigated the pandemic, but it's weird to just outright circumscribe the possibility when the ongoing downside is huge.

1. I use the odd phrasing here because lots of people pretty much choose to expose themselves to the infection anyway; maybe not explicitly, but close enough.
