I think people are saying that we should have done challenge trials regardless of Remdesivir availability because if for example those trials shortened the pandemic by 1 day for example it would saved tens of thousands of lives.

I don't see how taking supply of drugs away from someone in need to support a trial that could save more lives is 'obviously' unethical by the way - ethics aren't obvious and it's not at all clear to me that taking medicine away from a few people in an effort to save many more is inherently unethical. This is effectively the ethical debate between Utilitarianism and Deontology.
Living organisms can’t survive in their own waste products (Alan Kay, 2020)
From my understanding of the period, one might describe WWI as "anticipated, but not comprehended;" one of the catalysts for the war was a general understanding on the European continent that France and Germany were going to re-litigate the Franco-Prussian war at some point, as well as an understanding in Germany that time was not on their side due to the demographic changes in France - higher relative population growth - and economic changes in the Russian Empire allowing for more rapid and effective military deployment.

However, the types of wars in which the Great Powers of the time were involved - and from which their military planners derived their assumptions about war with modern weaponry - were mainly colonial conflicts against relatively under-armed opponents, eg. the Boer war, which the Great Powers typically "won." The outcome of the Russo-Japanese war (1904-05) was shocking enough to change the calculus for planning the European war, as Russia was now seen as a less able ally for France... and on and on such analysis could go!

With respect to this article, I would take the lesson of the early 20th century and WWI and ask:

Is there any major geopolitical development that is generally assumed to be inevitable, and how might modern technology upset the assumptions of the powers-that-be in their planned response to that event?

You're wrong about this.

The SQLite data format includes the schema, in plain ASCII. This self-documenting nature makes it an excellent data format, I've taken advantage of it numerous times in making use of SQLite-based application file formats.

SQLite is put forth as a basis for an application file format, and by definition it must be sufficiently flexible to accommodate any application. But by including the schema, it is self-documenting as to what the structure is, which ZIP isn't and can't be. QED.
> It's no more elitist than an electrician telling someone that they can't wire their house themselves "because construction and safety organizations have studied this for decades and understand it more than you" when burning down the entire block is a very real possibility.

It's a big difference.
I always thought that "cloud" was overhyped and never understood why you would want to use stuff like EC2 over a dedicated server somewhere.

Honestly, the idea that the new services have a "higher level of abstraction" and that old services are an insufficient extra level of abstraction is something I could never articulate properly.

Thanks.
Regarding the compensation section, at a large company you're either underpaid or overpaid. The ones who overwhelmingly create the stock growth through their work are drastically underpaid. Everyone else feeds off of it and is basically overpaid. That's why its a great place to rest and vest.
You can buy a PinePhone now (well, when they are back in stock). It's a decent phone with a completely open Linux stack. The UI might be a bit sluggish, but it is a fully functioning smartphone.

Re: For example, you need food, but you don't steal food usually.

I'd argue the biological craving for sex is stronger than hunger in most men who are not outright starving. It's why men often end up ruining their careers over libido slippage but not stealing physical property. Think about that. Why do many ruin their careers from X but not Y? It's not upbringing.

Re: I can't but help think that this is an incredibly patriarchal attitude.

I'm honestly thinking hard about why you see it that way, and honestly can't. I want to "think right", but my logic seems perfectly sound so far. If you are surrounded by people who have a weakness for something, one shouldn't unnecessarily tempt that weakness. That's blatant common sense to me. Don't turn work life into a discipline contest WITHOUT a good reason.

> they moved over to having a slide show on the screens that alternated between glamour shots of the food, and the menu.

I've seen this problem elsewhere. I don't get why you wouldn't display the menu on some of the screens and the photos on other screens.

One thing your theory is not taking into account is that some secretaries were willing to sleep for fun too. Women are into sex too, it’s not a male thing.
You're not the only person in the world, though. But even more importantly, you shouldn't just think of Apple owners, but the entire economic landscape. The businesses that have to raise prices, the startups that have to fight for app store approval, the people wanting to get out immediate fixes, the experimenters wanting to push the platform further than they're allowed...

Nevermind the "famers should own their equipment" argument that states that all general purpose computing devices should allow their owners to run whatever programs they want. The fact that Apple controls banking, dating, email, and a million other economic and social functions should be even more reason. That's an unhealthy amount of power.

Apple shouldn't be able to force literally every company in America to dance to their beat to reach 50% of American consumers.

Really think about it.

Apple controls access to 50% of Americans.

That's monopoly. Only the US Government is more successful in its taxing and regulation regime, and this is theoretically used for the betterment of all citizens rather than just shareholders.

Apple subtracts from our whole industry to add to itself. They're acting like a republic of their own. They're downright impossible to avoid if you want to build a successful business.

Give up your Apple fandom for a moment and think about this.

Is this healthy?

Would you still be happy with it if it were Windows Phone instead of iPhone? Would you still defend it?
Theorist Guy Debord spoke of the Mafia and the recording industry.

In the United States at least, it is already in the
recording industry, as in every other activity where
publicity of a product depends on a quite concentrated
number of people. It is easy to apply pressure to them,
with bribes and intimidation, since there is obviously
quite a great deal of capital and hitmen who can not be
recognized nor punished. By corrupting the disc-jockeys,
one thus decides what will succeed, from equally
wretched commodities. [1]

ok, thanks. Yeah I'm trying it out now. It seems like it will be useful for non-technical musicians. And the GUI is "just enough"...has a mixer and configuration for my audio device and a few things like record and metronome, but isn't overdone like JamKazaam.

Seems to me a killer feature is the ability to run as a VST plugin inside of a DAW or OBS, so users can incorporate SonoBus into their DAW's workflow rather than setting up a new thing entirely.
If people are genuinely curious, this is the best explanation I've seen of why DARPA worked:

https://benjaminreinhardt.com/wddw

> The Advanced Research Projects Agency model is of an organization set up to maximize the agency and effectiveness of world-class program managers (PMs) who coordinate external research to midwife technology that wouldn’t otherwise happen (Programs.)

> The model has changed over time, but has still produced outlier results over time so it is worth paying attention to modern DARPA with more focus on informal process than formal process. PMs need specific characteristics to succeed: thinking for themselves, curiosity, low ego, vision, and ability to act under uncertainty. PMs also need to be trustworthy because the model depends on their ability to deploy funds quickly and redeploy them as needed. These PMs have temporary tenures, which enables idea turnover, aligns incentives, and enables DARPA to hire people it wouldn’t otherwise be able to. It’s worth deeply thinking about PM motivations because they are so core to the model.

> Organizationally, DARPA is tiny, flat, and opaque. It is set up to combine bottom-up and top down approaches through different-scale feedback loops. It is more ideas limited than money limited. DARPA’s project design and execution framework boils down to first showing that a precise technological vision is not impossible, then showing that it is possible, and finally making it possible. On top of many tacit tools, PMs execute on these steps by building focused networks and using seedling projects to derisk assumptions during a <$1.5m exploratory tranche before presenting a program design to an advisory group to the director known as the tech council.

> DARPA provides a critical ‘in-between’ role in the world. It facilitates cross-polination and derisks wacky ideas for both private, academic, and government organizations.
There now exists hydrogen burning internal combustion engines. It raises the question of how important is the need for a liquid hydrocarbon fuel.
There are many states where you can record audio as long as you were invited to be in the conversation.

Even in all party consent states, a clubhouse session might qualify as public speaking and not be subject to any recording restrictions.
This article has the right conclusion, but it misses nearly every significant technological change that had strengthened the defense - many of which, like smokeless powder, went back to the U.S. Civil War (which also had a lot of trenches by the end of the war.) Think railroad, telegraph, radio.

But it also misses what can change during a war. When the war began, a four-year war wasn't physically possible, because the Axis had no rich source of ammonia (beyond collecting human and horse urine) such as guano islands. But ammonia synthesis was invented during WWI, by a German chemist. Suddenly a long war was in the cards.
A number of bioethicists support human challenge trials [1-3]. The blame shouldn't lie with them. Politicians and government regulators have failed us by not actively pushing for challenge trials. Kudos to Members of Congress Bill Foster and Donna Shalala for trying [4].

This is also the only use-case I have for git sub-modules. However, I haven’t encountered any serious problems. I mostly leave my (few) Vim plugins alone for so long that I forget the git commands to update the plugins when I do decide to update them. Having to check my notes or the relevant section of the Git Book is the worst of the friction.

I’m using Pathogen as it works fine for me. I believe Vim 8.0 introduced something similar but I still have to use older Vim releases on various CentOS 6 and 7 systems.

If I understand correctly, Nx.defn effectively calls a backend compiler for that function, and that will presumably result in only one round-trip of data to the accelerator hardware (e.g. GPU). If you have two defn functions, do you 1) lose compilation between them and 2) round trip twice, or can you nest defn functions and get compilation of the composed function?
> And frankly, there will not be more mobile platforms because even the current two is already much for companies to develop for. Free market doesn’t work that way.

Literally nothing prevents any of the current players in the "non-free market" to develop their own phone. Heck, Microsoft even tried to do it.
Since cancels arise out of conversation and theres no central organizer I don't see how a cancel _could_ have a list of demands.

At the same time, I'm sure the individuals who are opting to not support could conceivably be swayed back into supporting the creator in most cases.

I guess my point is that theres a de facto list of demands in most cancels, you just don't see them because theres no central authority to reiterate it.

I didn't tell other people to stop streaming her, but I learned about the video and chose to boycott because other people were telling me to do so.

> At least one covid vaccine trails has already failed because the vaccine wasn't safe (in the case I know of because you show up HIV+ even months latter which makes those tests worthless - the vaccine might have worked against Covid for all I know).

That may be a good enough to nix development for common cold vaccine, but how can one argue that it’s serious enough problem to cancel vaccine for disease that kills thousands of people every single day? This is another example of how “safety” and “ethics” regulations have little to do, and in fact are counterproductive to achieve safety and ethics in real world.

It's why I am such a fan of Andrew Yang's core policy proposals including his "Journalism Dollars" - which I don't think he coined as such, but has a similar purpose to his Democracy Dollars: $100 every year for every citizen to allocate to a journalist of their choice. This would wash out the money received from advertising by the mainstream media channels, and so the narratives that are bought directly or indirectly and lifted up into mainstream via those ad dollars being spent/received - would open up to many more narratives with much more nuance to them, and stories that citizens actually care about; it's important for Journalism Dollars to exist with Ranked Choice Voting and Democracy Dollars as well - so it's not just the 2 core narratives of the duopoly of the two party system being perpetuated/promoted.
