I partially agree, but I think a good middleground is for default configuration to be in a place like /usr/share/, and allow for admin configuration to happen in /etc/. This way, if you upgrade, you don't need a complicated merge to merge new defaults + old configuration. I've seen a lot of configuration migrations gone wrong in my life.
Pioneered is the key word here. The way Amazon does reviews has become something of the industry standard.
A quarter of a century is certainly long enough to buy something, use it for a good long time and then pass it along to your now adult children. Maybe it was time for an upgrade, or they just don't use them any more? And in another 25 years maybe they will do the same.

None of this defines what source is reliable and what source not.

What it does do is list some properties that do not immediately disqualify a source from being reliable, and what makes a source automatically unreliable, but that's it.

All other definitions are circular, in the vein of Academic research is reliable, if it be published in a reliable, reputable journal..
"Most" is a bit hyperbolic, and reflection can be supported in the VM for AOT code, as evidenced by the Android Runtime (pre-JIT).
It is kind of funny that conservatives have been working to privatize every aspect of the 'public square' for decades, so that this very thing could happen--'public' spaces would be subject to corporate control, and therefore rights normally protected by the government could be constrained. This has been the project for decades now. Lax enforcement of antitriust regulations, siphoning public funds to private institutions, selling off public resources, etc, etc. Now they are crying when the result of their own ideology is biting them in the ass.

If some western countries start to purchase it, we will see much better behavior by the approved suppliers.

I will be ok with getting even the sputnik vaccine; I will be ok with J&J, Pfizer or Moderna or whatever that is approved. They are playing games in distributing the vaccines though. They are selling vaccines that they don't plan to distribute while playing territorial wars.

> you still support prisons that try to "rehabilitate" prisoners

You don't get to declare by fiat what I support and what I don't. The fact that I can make choices does not make me omnipotent. You are simply failing to recognize the fact that everybody makes choices--including the people who set up our current prison system and who keep it running. If the prisons they are running are abusing people, that is their responsibility, because they are the ones that made those choices.

> you should embrace it like some us do and learn to operate in this new mental paradigm

I don't understand what "new mental paradigm" you are even describing. But even without understanding it, I can still ask an obvious question: has this "new mental paradigm" enabled you to fix the prison problem you describe? If so, how?

The fuel isn't even "a real big part" of the launch cost. It's well under 1% even for SpaceX [0]. But rockets are already just about as big as we know how to make them: the expensive thing is not filling the tank 10% fuller, but building a 10% bigger tank.

Why would you expect a large gap, that's not how statistics work.

Any study of a sufficiently large population, like the phase 3 trials shouldn't vary much at all when scaled up to millions of participants.

That's assuming the error bounds are small with the clinical trials, but I think that is universally the case here.

Hello, my name is Ari and I'm a type addict.

Thankfully, the impulse to waste time trying to come up with the most precise typing possible for everything hasn't been as strong with TypeScript as it used to be with Haskell for me. In part that's because TS's type system is so ridiculously expressive that I can say what I want to say without spending too long on it anyway, in part it's because the system's proud unsoundness and the ability for typings to simply be wrong means that I know not to stake my life on the types anyway. Besides, in my experience, the more precise I try to make the types at an interface, the more I need to cast in the internals. Better to find a balance that keeps both reasonable.

As opposed to USA companies having data come from outside USA?

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.

Russia didn’t have enough resources to even distribute it to their own people back then.

What a waste for Russia, as usual, with both PR, mindset and completely botched worldwide sales campaign. And so many people could have been already helped around the world.

Meanwhile the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have a huge fawning press telling people a ton of “maybes” and saying basically nothing concrete but urging everyone and their dog to get it, even if they have antibodies, cause you know, stuff and maybe and trust us this is better! Here is a typical example of the cringe:

Your body normally doesn’t have anything like these little spikes. So the spike protein appearing inside your body can be like a Kanye West fan appearing at a Taylor Swift fan party. Or cottage cheese inside a hot dog. Your immune system then is supposed to say, “hey, this doesn’t belong here,” and generate a response to the spike protein.

By exposing your immune system to a very specific component of the virus, your immune system may be better able to focus specifically on this component, rather than fire off in random directions when it first encounters the virus in a natural infection. This could then potentially lead to a stronger and more persistent immune response than what may occur after a natural infection. Since the immune system is rather complex, more studies are needed to confirm this possibility.

No, not really, and your link shows that. It is certainly too high of a rate and more needs to be done but it's not "the leading cause of death for certain groups". According to the study you cite, for young Black men, police violence accounts for 1.6% of total deaths. For all young men 25-29, here are the rates.

Accidents: 76.6 deaths per 100,000,
Suicide: 26.7 deaths per 100,000,
Non-police homicide: 22.0 deaths per 100,000,
Heart Disease: 7.0 deaths per 100,000,
Cancer: 6.3 deaths per 100,000,
Police violence: 1.8 deaths per 100,000

I'm thinking more and more people will eventually realize that it's not so black and white: corruption is a matter of degree. Boeing getting the 737 Max past the FAA. Total inaction of the SEC on the stock market manipulation by the hedge funds. These cases show that corruption is alive and well in the USA. Is there less corruption than in Russia? Sure. But human societies the world over have similar ailments, and corruption is one of them. Sticking on labels is harmful whether it is done to sick people or countries.
As long as they have no shared supply chain.
Russia is still more democratic than many of the US’s allies, and certainly more democratic than it was under Yeltsin. I don’t think it’s true that everything in Russia is state controlled.

Russia is making a vaccine, China is making two, India is also making one. India will also probably do a bulk of the manufacturing. We should be testing it all, including the western manufactured ones too.

Also it’s interesting that say a physics paper from China or Soviet Russia would not automatically be regarded as suspect.

They figured out that they can get away with genocide as long as they do it in slow motion. The end result is the same, the disappearance of the Uyghurs as a people, but it takes decades instead of years. That's why they are sterilizing so many people, while keeping many imprisoned indefinitely with no opportunity to start a family. The torture and rape is just incidental to having a million or so non-persons imprisoned.

The spec distinguishes between "pointer: coarse" and "any-pointer: coarse", where the former only asks about the primary pointer. I'd assume that tablets would leave "pointer" unchanged even if a mouse is plugged in, though I haven't verified that.

And aside from that, shouldn't a tablet where a mouse is being used as the primary input show buttons sized appropriately for a mouse, rather than larger ones? The whole idea of making buttons bigger on mobile is to accommodate thumbs, so it seems like this media query is exactly what we should be using.
Cool to hear from someone who worked at Yottaa! We have seen that solution before, but it seemed like it's mostly timing your third-parties to be loaded with some delay? So more like optimizing when to load a script, but still loading the same script. The website is a little vague. Our analyzer shows that third-parties are slowing their website by 61%, which is way more than the average, so I get the feeling that this doesn't work too well. But yes, you're very right - we're super focused on Core Web Vitals.

Any government funded news outlet is going to be biased in favor of its funders. PBS, NPR, and other publicly funded news outlets are grateful to the liberals and the media establishment for keeping them in business all these years. I imagine there are exceptional journalists at NPR that have to tow the line and not favor, give comfort, shelter, or aide or any positivity what so ever to conservatives. They might lose their job, and I sense it has always been that way.
React examples like this always strike me as a great reason to avoid react, but then I'm an old OO dinosaur I suspect.

In our framework (that has angular underneath) we go..

interactionContext.startActivity(MyConfirmDialog).then(result => ...);

...and the interactionContext handles back button clicks and makes sure the dialog is cancelled and our history is kept clean.

It even works with nested interactions (i.e. the dialog can start a new interaction in place). Again, the user can click the back button repeatedly to back out of the interaction and everything just works.

I've got no idea how you'd do that in React.

Even if it is western propaganda, doesn't mean it's false. Just like any Chinese/Russian/etc propaganda might highlight the abuses of the US state. As individuals, regardless of which country we happen to live in, we shouldn't immediately dismiss any country's propaganda (including our own) just because it's propaganda. Does each side have an incentive to exaggerate or lie about the other? Of course! But if abuses are really happening the opposing side would be dumb not to propagandize it.

It’s really a throwback to the old days of aerospace. From the 1930s to the early 1960s, the standard method was to iterate rapidly with relatively cheap hardware, to learn and fix problems as quickly as possible. The von Braun and Korolev teams operated this way, among others. They all blew up a ton of rockets. What changed was the necessity of completing Saturn V and landing on the Moon by the end of the 1960s. Apollo program head George Mueller recognized that, with the planned number of iterative tests, they were going to be too late. He made the gutsy decision to launch “all-up”: spend a ton of money up front to overengineer the crap out of the vehicle and cut out most of the iteration. It worked!

But alas, the aerospace world overlearned the lesson and has been cargo-culting it ever since. Mueller’s decision was purely a matter of expediency to meet Kennedy’s goal and beat the Russians. It wasn’t a statement that this was the best way to do engineering, absent those constraints. To make matters worse, all-up only works under the funding conditions of Apollo: a massive spike in funding to cover the up-front cost. Without that spike, the costly development phase has to be stretched out, and the whole thing ends up taking longer than iteration. In other words, you can save time this way when money is absolutely no object, but otherwise you lose time. See Boeing’s SLS: basically 15 years of development and they just static-fired it for the first time. Launch is maybe a year away.

We’ve all gotten used to the all-up style of development, and SpaceX’s rediscovery of rapid iteration makes it seem like a new and untested way of doing things. But I think the dominant narrative—that all-up is prudent and conservative while iterative is risky—is completely backward. All-up carries a massive amount of risk that fundamental design issues won’t become apparent until the tremendously costly development phase is done. Iteration allows assumptions to be tested and modified as quickly as possible. Most of SpaceX’s early ideas about reusability turned out to be wrong. If they had committed all the money and time to those early concepts before flight-testing, they would have never accomplished it. The early rocketry pioneers operated this way, and it’s why they accomplished the things they did. Maybe SpaceX will finally free the space industry from perpetually repeating what worked for Apollo, which after all operated under unique political conditions.
We were dealing with the unknown and with deadly consequences. The behavior was correct for the situation. And when we got better information, hopefully we adjusted.

747 can not flip like that; it would stall and crash. The narrow bodied 737s crashed for less. Their fancy flight computer miscalculated because of center of gravity miscalculations. They crashed after 100s of flights.
