Sounds funny but it works like a charm.
Bezos has a very large amount of unallocated capital, which means that if he had a mission, he could move a lot faster on it. Musk has none, in fact, has heavily bet the farm more than once in pursuit of his stated mission. If Bezos has a mission I can not find what it is based on his actions. If I didn't know what Musk's mission was I could make a pretty good stab at it based on his actions so far.
I don't think so. My understanding is that being overweight always makes some health problems more likely, especially long-term. Even if it's muscle. And that's not even considering the effects of taking excessive growth hormones / steroids etc common to body building.

Being fit is something else altogether, and produces better health outcomes AIUI.

This is really shitty. How do students put up with that?
I agree on the principle: being able to openly protest is better than not. Once this has been said, there is a big difference between a tyrannical government that keeps people in poverty and an authoritarian one that has brought many hundreds of millions to a western standard of life and made the country a credible competitor to the only other world super-power.

I perfectly understand a Chinese being proud of their country, their government and their CCP- as much as Americans are proud of their country despite their 2 million imprisoned people, dual-party system that allows no competition, police violence, decades of wars waged around the world and support for dictatorships and coups to overthrow democratically elected leaders. Things could certainly be even better and hopefully with time they will be- but this attitude of fixating on one aspect to justify a black-and-white view of the world- in which your side is the good one- is damn stupid.

Any chance you might be able to dig up that link? I think it might be interesting to read it.

And that's the scary bit. Most people know they are evil, very few truly understand the depth of it.
Just to add to what everyone else said: I’m in Miami right now and most of the clubs (the ones that open at midnight and close at 0500) basically work such that if you don’t spend $1-10k for table/bottle service you might as well not even go.
I'm surprised you don't see more vendor lock-in presented as an alternative to this. There was some amazing integration available by the 1980s (i. e. the RCA Dimensia system) but it relied on using a single manufacturer's products sold as a suite.

"Oh, we grudgingly and wrongly support HDMI-CEC, but if you just bought the BrandX AVR, DVR, Blu-Ray player, cable box, and waffle iron to go with your BrandX TV, they'd all use our exclusive BrandX Link (TM) and work properly." Well anyway until you replace one component in a couple years and it speaks BrandX Link 2.0 (R) (TM) (GMbH)

I suppose the one good thing of the fiasco that is cable/satellite STBs is that it forces some level of interoperability. No manufacturer can promise the end-to-end integrated dream when the local cable service uses some box sourced from some random unrelated firm.

I think part of it is also that we have a clear master-slave heirarchy, but no way to enforce it. I could see the TV, AVR, or set-top box being the "master" of different entertainment configurations-- as defined by "this is the primary remote you use." But you can still sit on the wrong remote and switch the sound to a different source than the picture. I could imagine a back-panel switch to toggle the other devices to a "slave mode" which would do things like disable input switching or put it in "listen to CEC commands only" modes.
It's not even just a larger societal problem, but something on altogether different scales of magnitude (pun not intended). People suffering from health issues due to bodybuilding are a rounding error of a rounding error in comparison. Getting anywhere close to that is an arduous task that will put off all but the most dedicated, so the problem solves itself.

I'm all for a more informed population on health matters, but I don't see the point of going after the practitioners of a specific hobby on account of it potentially hurting other people's feelings, as implied in the post I was originally replying to. Reminds me a bit of the mindset criticized in Harrison Bergeron.

At scale it would have some significant hurdles to overcome WRT TLS

Proxomitron and other MITM proxies have been doing this for years --- you do need to generate your own root CA and change the TLS config of whatever clients will go through it so that it trusts your root, but after that it works perfectly. As a bonus, you can do "HTTPS upgrade" with applications that don't even support HTTPS or only old TLS versions.

SpaceX was launching large batches of satellites by 2019, two years later! And even in 2017, they had proven mass launch capacity.

Yes, sure, give Amazon the same treatment. Start orbiting large numbers of satellites in 2022 or you lose it.

In between I am slowly moving to Firefox on Fedora, but mostly because I can watch HD videos there, not on Chromium. Firefox is also much faster than Chromium.
Your post only makes sense if we consider a person who wishes to switch careers.

There's a bit of a chicken and egg problem here. Those excellent returns were extremely unlikely to happen had there been no TARP. Much like leveraged buyouts often end up in bankruptcy due to extensive debt, excessively onerous terms on TARP would have blunted its effectiveness at restarting the economy.
Pump it. There is very little difference between DOT and ETH 2.0. They are both sharded classical consensus. ATOM is also classical consensus and once the IBC will be up it will also resemble sharding. If you really want to look at something different in terms of consensus than Avalanche is something to check out. They claim they have introduced 3rd category in consensus protocols, but we will have to wait and see if it stands up to scrutiny and real life usage.
> You can't be both.

Why not? It's not like both of those are full time efforts.
Yeah, it also seemed a bit jarring to me how modern China is portrayed so positively in the trilogy. Perhaps this is also how books by Americans are seen in China? One could make a case that, say, Tom Clancy novels are pro-American cold war propaganda. (That's not really my view, but I could understand why someone, especially a reader from one of our cold-war adversaries, might think that.)

I think the most jarring bits are plot points where some ideology crops up that's contrary to whatever goals the countries of the world have decided to pursue, so they just make that opinion illegal and that's the end of it. And then I'm like: "that's not how that works in most of the world". In North Korea that might work, and maybe in China, but not anywhere with reasonably well-established human rights.

It was also interesting how China was always saving the day. That's sort of expected of any author to make their own country the heroes, but I couldn't help but wonder if that's really what he wanted to write, or if writing a story that could be construed as a criticism of modern China would get him in trouble in some ways.

On the other hand, a big early part of the first book was about how awful the cultural revolution was. Is it considered politically acceptable these days in China to acknowledge the past failings of communist government, even if criticizing the current policies often is not?

talent (τάλαντο) is a Greek word to describe some quality or charisma that some people may possess when they do something.

It comes from the ancient times of rulers and peasants when people actually believed in unspecified innate qualities that differentiate people from each other.

"talent" is so much ingrained into culture that people take its vague existence for granted. I think that "talent" is used as a praise for the purposes of attracting/luring someone to do all the work.
Oh stop the hand wringing.

The US doesn't recruit child soldiers.

The very few who actually sign up when they are 17 are almost all 18 before they go to bootcamp, and of the extremely rare ones who aren't they are 18 before they go to their first command or do anything at all. They are not allowed to deploy outside the US or participate in any hostilities until they are 18.
Hindu mythology had a story similar to this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinaka_(Hinduism)

Pinaka bow was like the thor's hammer in hindu mythology. It was placed in dashratha's palace. One day dashratha saw sita lifting it casually when playing with her sisters, so he declared the bow to be a test for those who wanted to marry sita.
Certainly not in this case.
It's a concept, not even a proof of concept so far.

Also, how is this better than existing ion thrusters? Isn't it just a bigger ion thruster?
What's even more interesting is that, despite being a recent phenomenon, everybody seems convinced it's absolutely normal to think in these terms. And yet I am sure than only four or five years ago people were talking about China in an entirely different way.
Seriously? It's monopoly over the ideas and culture of our society. It's monopoly over the speech that the citizens consume. The culture and ideas that people consume on daily basis obviously affect their actions and ideology.

And yes it is a monopoly. You can tell me that I can go in a town square and spread my ideas if I don't like Facebook, but we all know that means my ideas are effectively unheard, when compared to facebook being able to instantly reach millions of people. You can tell me I can create my own Facebook if I don't like it, which is such an insincere comment, as it's prohibitively expensive to do so, and even if I did, we've decided as a society that it's also fine to then just censor, ban, shut down any system that promotes competing ideas.

But honestly I don't know how you can say with a straight face that facebook/twitter/etc have no bearing on your life. They massively define and shape the society you live in, to a point that has never even remotely existed in all of past human civilziation.
The article fails to anticipate significant improvements in AI and robotics.

That is shortsighted, given the progress we have already seen.

Many researchers are aware of the shortcomings in AI and beginning to work on them. And that wave of research is growing. It is strange that people discount the possibility of this research paying off. I think they just aren't aware of it.

As AI and robotics improve, it will disrupt the workforce more and more. How that plays out is something that we should consciously direct with foreknowledge.

IDE-USB adaptors exist, but on bare metal (like this) drivers might be a problem. I expect it would work if you're running an emulator on top of something with the drivers (ex. Linux).
This is wrong. Here is a counterexample from my experience. At sports I have no talent. At chess I have considerable talent and can remember large fragments of games I played decades ago. It's easy for me to remember opening variations I study. When I teach others some opening moves, they soon forget. I worked hard at chess to become an international master, but the ability to remember and apply what I learned motivated me to study. Most people do not have the talent to become a chess master.
I was surprised and happy to see this also being open sourced. As a developer of OpenLieroX (http://www.openlierox.net/), we also took inspiration of Soldat. The main difference is mainly the way you control the game, i.e. with mouse aim cursor in Soldat, and purely with keyboard in Liero. And also the ninja rope.

Once we added mouse aim support to OpenLieroX as well, but the Liero community didn't liked it, and basically it became another game. Network play between both versions would be unfair. It would really need a different name.

Teeworlds (https://www.teeworlds.com/) is also a more recent very similar game, also with mouse aim, and ninja rope.

Interesting also that Soldat is implemented in Free Pascal / Lazarus.

This seems less like an argument and more like a loosely connected list of things that the author doesn’t like, everything from Diversity and Inclusion departments to Bernie Sanders’ appointment to the Senate budgetary committee—the main commonality is that they’re somehow left or left of center. If you already dislike these things, maybe the idea that they’re all related is convincing. But if not, it just seems like recycled complaints.

Maybe there is a deep connection to mediocrity in each of these examples, but he doesn’t really make that case, only that the status quo, which he asserts used to be about excellence, is changing.
Very interesting comment, thank you for sharing your thoughts. I particularly enjoyed your depiction of security products.

Years ago, I advocated strongly for threat modelling and bringing the process "to the masses". I was a security consultant, it was easy for me to tell others what they should do.

Then I started working as an "internal" in an company large enough to offer me both many different perspectives and full access to things that needed threat modelling. Architects and developers I only interacted with as my "customers" became my colleagues. And my point of view completely changed.

I agree with you: threat modelling, as it is "evangelized" today faces strong resistance from business as an expensive and negative activity. The infrequent times it is enjoyed, reasons are not those we think: threat modelling is really a "cool" experience when done correctly, participants learn a lot of things and usually enjoy the activity. Then comes the second round. And the third. And that's where you see it hits a wall: either you repeat the same thing, again and again, or participants don't have the time.

Today, I still do threat modelling, and quite actively. On my own, as you said. My colleagues don't even know I use this process to prepare my internal publications. I write threat advisories, which I then send to a little more than 300 architects, developers and project managers worldwide. My recommendations are the output of a threat modelling process, these advisories fly into the field in a "finished" state. Threat modelling leverages its full strength in environments that can benefit from high capitalization of thought, such as when you deal with a large number of silos/teams that are exposed to very similar problems.

There is a very simple trick to catch wannabe threat modellers: look for threat models that include a "validate all input" recommendation or alike. If you see this in a threat model, you know you are dealing with someone who hasn't actually understood what threat modelling is and is simply repeating some tricks learned the evening before. I could also talk about what I think of security vendors that try to sell threat modelling as some sort of "transferable" skill, which can be taught in one or two days to non-security professionals. But I will refrain.

Now about the manifesto. In my opinion, Adam Shostack deserves full credit, not for inventing threat modelling but for actually formalizing the process in its most efficient and final form (i.e. the 4 threat modelling "questions"). All attempts to complete his work (e.g. books, methodologies, articles, etc.) following his release of the 4 questions are nothing more that complicated "techniques" to derive threats from a diagram or a specification.

The author suggests that talent "doesn't exist", which is pretty clearly false.
We called it a "Chad" (the article says "Mr Chad" - I'm only 50 so the Mr may have been dropped by my time). Popular around early to mid 1980's UK.

I can remember doodling a chad and seeing many chad doodles. If you had a pencil in your hand and no idea what to do, it was a go to. If I had to estimate then I think Chads disappeared in the early to mid 1990s.

An ideal vaccine design should include different viral peptides, instead of just the whole spike protein. And one should also remove epitopes that mimic human proteins, both to increase efficiency and avoid rare autoimmune episodes.

I criticized this design internally at the Department of Medicine in Oxford, where I work, and I was silenced due to the political implications my statement had.

Sadly all vaccines share the same design, or no design at all. Hopefully the others may stimulate a broader repertoire of T cells, due to adjuvant and/or delivery differences, and this can lead to some epitope spreading thus remaining effective.
> The audio stack is fragmented on all operating systems because the problem is a large one. For example, on Windows the audio APIs being ASIO, DirectSound and WASAPI. Perhaps MacOs has the cleanest audio stack, CoreAudio, but nobody can clearly say if they can’t look at the code. PulseAudio was inspired by it.
The stack of commercial operating systems are not actually better or simpler.

Maybe so for developers, but as a user on Windows or MacOS I don’t have to know or care about any of that stuff. Things just work, and work sensibly.
I think the question is also, “good in what sense?”

The really valuable skill (from a dollars & cents perspective) is to be able to provide business value to _the business you’re employed at_. That might not transfer anywhere else.

Eg I doubt my skills apply to a young startup- I’m a specialist (ML research), they need a generalist.

If I work at Google on search & get really good at solving political problems related to search, that’s a super valuable skill set _to Google_ but probably not to anyone else. I’d probably get promoted and/or get big bonuses. It also probably means that, _ceteris paribus_, I’m a worse coder, as I’m spending less time focusing on tough coding problems.
Retard. I have no opinion on the credibility of the accusation.
Reading this, all I can think is that you are just asking for everyone to spare your feelings while insisting you shouldn't put in the effort to spare anyone else's.

Looks super fun, I'll give it a try!

Something like 10 years ago I had a similar idea - a 2D shooter with the feel and gameplay of a FPS, only that in my case I thought of making it top-down, and the plan was that visibility would be a huge thing - your 2D character would only see things from their point of view that weren't blocked by the level geometry or other players.

I never completed that game, for various reasons. But in the course of making that prototype, I did a lot of research about the networking model. I read every article I could find about client-side prediction, server reconciliation, and entity interpolation. I didn't want all this effort to go to waste, so I wrote what I had learned in article form, and put it on my website.

That's the never-told-before origin story of my multiplayer networking articles :)

The article also reminded me of a story from the aftermath of the My Lai massacre:

> In 1998, Thompson and Colburn returned to the village of Sơn Mỹ, where they met some of the people they saved during the killings, including Thi Nhung and Pham Thi Nhanh, two women who had been part of the group about to be killed by Brooks's 2nd Platoon. Thompson said to the survivors, "I just wish our crew that day could have helped more people than we did." He reported that one of the women they had helped out came up to him and asked, "Why didn't the people who committed these acts come back with you?" He said that he was "just devastated" but that she finished her sentence: "So we could forgive them."
