CFR != IFR. A huge portion of infections in the US are never reported or detected.

I can't believe people are still confusing these. Dividing fatalities by known cases is completely wrong, and is not the definition of IFR.
That's roughly how I started, around 1999. I loved the all text console, multiple screens, and how the shell was essentially the same as my beloved Amiga OS. I went through countless distros - Corel, Suse, Mandrake, Debian, Red Hat, Caldera, Yellow Dog, Mandriva, and leagues of desktops and WMs... KDE, Gnome, IceWM, Xfce, xmonad, WindowMaker, Enlightenment, BlackBox, OpenBox, LXDE, Fluxbox. I'm not sure what effect this total lack of interface consistency has on my psyche. Every time I upgraded the kernel or distro there was a significant chance the audio or video would stop working and require 15 minutes through 2 days to restore. It turned out frequently the easiest way to get it to work again was reinstall. The positive aspect of this masochistic computing experience is that when I launched a startup 8 years later I was quite comfortable filling the sysadmin role.

That isn't the default behavior for NixOS. From the docs[1]:

The installer also asked for a root password when I installed NixOS years ago and it still does[2].

Does your aunt know how to apply bios updates? And that's assuming such updates are available at all. I searched up various Z170 (released mid 2015) chipset motherboards, and the bios updates seem to end around early-mid 2018. That works out to around 3 years of patches. It's therefore reasonable to assume that if any exploit was discovered today, any systems 3+ year old are sitting ducks.

For the record, back when I worked in finance I heard plenty of conversations about margin requirements going up, often forcing desks to liquidate positions that they otherwise wanted to keep. The idea that margin requirements might change is something finance has had to deal with for a very long time, and RH should have been prepared for the possibility. Better still, they should have had the controls in place to cool down the GME trade once it started to spiral, such as reducing the amount of leverage they let their customers have.

$180k is not "working class," period. I don't make $180k and I live in Seattle working in a tech-adjacent field. You claiming that it is is like saying a 14 year old is almost 15 which is almost legal driving age and basically an adult in terms of responsibility, so it's pretty much the age of the majority at 18.

I went to a big state school that was respectable but not Princeton. I still wouldn't say most students there were from the "working class" by the common definition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_class

This is somewhat second hand but I worked with someone who claimed to know the person who owned sex.com (he was trying to buy it from him at the time, and I'm trying to be deliberately un-assertive) in the mid 90s (also fair warning, this was a long time ago and I probably misremember stuff) and said he paid a ton of money in bribes to the search engines/portals back then - which was what most people assumed, but those companies insisted wasn't true, so it fit a narrative people liked.

I don't think sex.com was an expected direct hit back then - and if I'm remembering correctly, even in the later 90s, you would have had to type http://www.sex.com to get it to even load right - there wasn't a ton of convenience and most browsers relied on a heavy set of built-in bookmarks to get people into portals and search engines.

That said, I believe it was totally true that they likely paid six or seven figures for a year or longer deal to guarantee top three for a ton of porn search terms. I assume that area was allowed to be seedy in order to mitigate risk of even allowing that content to be included in the first place, and companies didn't feel bad getting money from porn sites who had a lot to throw around.
I recall reaching out to the customer service more than once pre-2010 or so and they were incredibly responsive and helpful. I guess they just couldn't scale human interactions past a certain point.

I'm reminded of the story of two economists walking down the street. One sees a dollar bill on the ground, and the other decides "that can't be right; if there was a dollar bill on the ground someone would've picked it up already".

> Russia had been first to market in August, yet most of the richly developed countries held out for an American company to give them a vaccine.

They held out for something else because the Russian vaccine had undergone no phase III trials yet. It had only undergone phase I and II trials, which just test whether it is safe to give to people, not whether it actually does anything helpful.
Yeah, I am fully brain washed and I believe the mainstream narrative.

This is an opinion piece with a purposely over-the-top headline in the Wall Street Journal (sibling company of Fox News) by Republican Senator Ron Johnson. Johnson has previously made Covid-19-related news pushing hydrochloriquine as a treatment. He has pushed the baseless conspiracy theory that doctors are pushing to deny access to hcq because it is cheaper than other treatments.

If there is a legitimate news article on the removal of these two video, we should link to that instead.
The media is critical of tech because tech has impaired journalists’ job security and careers. Nothing more than sour grapes, no conspiracy needed.

That also avoids them having to introspect and see how much their deference and connivence with the George W. Bush and Obama presidencies cost them in credibility. If you are going to get crap fake journalism, you might as well get the free one served by Google et al rather than pay for it.

”Currently that runtime is a generic stateful "service" implementation provided by these libraries”

This is how I approached using XState in a proof of concept last year. I created a “service layer” made up of XState machines that handled different high-level aspects of the application behaviour; i.e. not tied specifically to a particular UI element. Things like managing the requests made during an OAuth flow and storing the authenticated user’s information.

This gave me a source of application state with well defined behaviours that I could use instead of “redux” and its usual accompaniment of boolean flags and thunks.

The best part of embracing the separation of state management from React is that I initially developed the application in Angular before lifting-and-shifting the “service layer” over to React and sticking in a “context”. All the application behaviours remained the same, it was just a matter wiring up some JSX in place of Angular’s HTML templates.

It almost look like they didnt account for the extra weight or size of the rocket.
Right, but your example has nothing to do with a state machine. Nearly the same code could be written in React. I don't share the author's same view of "finicky useEffect" etc. Using a state machine for a modal is pretty overengineered, but I don't think that's reason to switch away from React altogether.
We do not know everything about the universe, but we know some things. We also know there is not much room in the theories of what we do know to support any claims like this.

It is certainly possible, but it would require a rethink of our current understanding of nature. That has happened, but most of the time when presented with anecdotes like this... it does not happen.

For reference I have a pair of DT-880 (sold as 250ohm but turned out to be 600) and Hifiman Sundara, both about the same price. DT-880 is certainly light and comfortable but it's kind of bright and I've heard the other models are less neutral than that.

It also sounds quite detailed in the treble range, but if you listen to something like Sundara you realize the detail doesn't actually exist and it's more like a sharpening filter. Sundara also has replaceable audio cables and of course it's easier to drive.
I also use captions (even when the TV isn't muted). If someone else in the room is speaking so something on the TV is missed, it will be shown on the captions. Sometimes there might be some word or name I don't know and will want to look it up, and the caption will have the spelling (if the caption writer has spelled it correctly, which sometimes they don't, unfortunately). It could also be used for transcripts and caption scrollback, if those features were implemented, although unfortunately it isn't.

Selective reporting is one of the more sneaky forms of bias after all. No need to blatantly lie when you can paint a different truth with parts of the whole.

> Powerful IDEs can tell you just fine what is a class and what is an interface.

Yes, but if one is simply reading code from a book or code sample online no such IDE benefit exists. Program code should be comprehensible as plaintext. This is why I'm not a fan of overuse of the `var` keyword in C# - or `auto` in C++. (Many people feel forced to use `var` and `auto` in C# and C++ respectively when their program uses horribly complicated generics or template instantiations - this wouldn't be necessary if C# permitted more flexibility with type-aliases.

> List is the general concept of a List in Java

But that's a huge design-issue in itself: Interfaces should not describe what something "is": they should describe what something is capable of - this is doubly essential when using reified generics because of type parameter variance (Java skirts this one because of type-erased generics - which is another discussion). A distinct advantage of interfaces describing capabilities is the "I" prefix can be replaced with a rule requiring interface names to be adjectives (i.e. class/struct = noun, method = verb, interface = adjective+noun).

Rather than having this (invariant) interface:

interface List<T> {
void add( T item );
void remove( T item );
int length { get; }
T get( int index );
}

We'd have these variant interfaces:

interface ReadableList<out T> {
int length { get; }
T get( int index )
}

interface MutableBag<in T> {
void add( T item )
void remove( T item )
}

Which is great because then we can do type-safe stuff like this:

class Vector<T> implements ReadableList<T>, MutableBag<T> {
// etc
}

class Employee extends Person {}
class Boss extends Employee {}

Vector<Employee> list = new Vector<Employee>();
ReadableList<Person> people = list;
MutableBag<Boss> appendOnlyBossesFromHere = list;
Put into perspective that the dot boom happened around 1999-2001 and the dot bomb set in hard by 2003. Between 1996 and through that roller coaster people went through a lot, and since then there have now been two financial crises in the US, one ongoing.

I’m not sure that you understand your own position. Yes, corruption is a spectrum. Color values are a spectrum. Politics is a spectrum. Two examples on a spectrum are not equivalent because they’re on the same spectrum, if that’s what you’re implying. The spectrum itself exists to make distinctions between the cases that lie on it. You can’t claim equivalence between all cases on the same spectrum by that fact alone.

> Each engineering team is unique, so its blockers will be specific. It's not so simple as "more maker time is better." If your engineering team is new or temporarily misaligned on key goals, more meeting time might be the answer. What never changes is the need for measurement and well-considered, deliberate decisions

And we came full circle back to measuring a teams productivity being an art form. Maybe you have a metric now: Hours spent in meetings per week, but nobody knows how much is too much and how little is too little. How do you measure the impact of more meeting on productivity? Or the impact of less meeting? If your measure of productivity is "time in meeting"? This is a circular dependency.

I don't know that it would be accurate to assume that Robinhood was not prepared for the possibility of their deposit requirements changing. I think it's more likely that they were unprepared for the magnitude of changes in a lot of their underlying assumptions. There were 600k downloads of their app on Friday alone, which is roughly 4x the previous daily high water mark, which itself was an anomaly. On top of that, most of those people are signing up to purchase shares in just a very small number of companies. I think there are very, very few businesses that are prepared for a black swan event of a magnitude that Robinhood experienced.

I am just responding to blaming them for not having enough cash on hand to meet the DTC's new deposit requirement, which did come out of the blue. You can say that Robinhood could have anticipated that at some point it may need to back up 100% of the activity of their customers with deposits, given that it is a possibility that is laid out in the DTC rules. But I don't think any brokerage is well-capitalized enough to handle that for every scenario.

But I understand that Robinhood has had other problems (reliability, customer support, etc.), and has also gamified stock trading in a way that is probably harmful. I am sympathetic to those criticisms.
