This is amazing. I was not happy when my doctor told me I had to do 3 shots, twice a week, for my allergies, with 30min wait time at the doctors, while I could have just had sublingual pills from the comfort of my home if I were in Europe. Those shots lasted for 5+ years... Really hope the best of success to your start-up !

> lifting lingering vaccine bans (the US's ban of AZ is most glaring)

AstraZeneca vaccine was seeing rejections for a variety of reasons even before the South Africa variant which it doesn't work well against began spreading, and that variant is now in a lot of the US. If that's what you are referring to, whether or not there is a special “ban" on it in the US, I don’t see it as something that makes a lot of sense to add to the mix in the US now.

When I first got a laptop with 8gb of ram 10 years ago, I thought it was an absurd amount, and to be honest it was- ever since I have never wanted for ram on my personal computers.

I'm not quite sure where why people seem to be clamoring for more RAM, it seems like a non issue these days. I don't really game these days, and when I do it's on older "steam sale" titles so maybe gamers need it, but even for dev stuff, I just don't see the issue.
If you listen to health economists, they tell you that healthcare as a market has every market failure that has name. It's one of those places where markets are almost always inefficient. You need lot's of of regulation to make markets work even reasonably well.

Just from looking at the diagrams, I'm guessing a competitor to Atlassian/Gitlab/Azure DevOps suites, but seemingly minus the git server and binary artifact repositories (which Atlassian also doesn't offer). So Wiki with diagramming tools and something like scrum or kanban boards. A persistent digital whiteboard, basically.

Looks like they also have CRM, but to be honest, I've never understood what that even is.
That makes sense. I guess the real trick is to figure out what the key distinguishing factor for that particular subgroup is...
This is a great example of how our biases can lead us to make mistakes like this. If they had looked at this and the numbers pointed the other way, they would certainly have looked at the denominator in hopes that the number of people identifying the specimens had gone up by more than the amount of observations. Just a great lesson to everyone when trying to do science.
Even if none of those things existed, at a price point of over $800 this seems completely DOA.

Can't imagine the battery life is much, either. I'd be shocked if it's more than an hour or two.

All of that to run poorly at 800p.

Why do you think Hal would have been Satoshi but then also been the first developer using his real name?
No. If you read the top-level comment, it sounds like the response directly indicates that these days it would be useful to use the defunct multiple classes (IN vs CH) functionality to instead reference different IP types (v4 or v6) in today's Internet, hence "nowadays". That isn't needed because we can already mix v4 and v6 records within the IN class itself through A/AAAA records.

If I misunderstood the comment, then my bad.
In the states, LTE Cat M1 is most frequently what's used / available from my experience for IoT. In other places NB-IoT is more prevalent (which is way slower, but also way simpler)

That's true. They do have outbreaks, about half a dozen people this time, perhaps related to a job at a laundry working with quarantine facilities.

For several days Auckland residents couldn't go to the pub.

Normally of course they can go to the pub. Or a night club. Or a packed stadium to watch sports.

But it's true that for several days last week in Auckland they weren't allowed to do that. And the same back in... September maybe? And according to you that isn't "mostly back to normal" so we can assume you believe it isn't "mostly back to normal" anywhere and never will be. That's just not a very useful benchmark.
This thing is clearly meant to have great specs for its form factor, but it doesn't even have 1080p on a 7" screen. It's slightly better than 720p, which is what I expected on my smartphone 5+ years ago on a smaller screen (and even then you could find that on a budget phone).

This feels like a worse PSP. It's meant to be powerful, but the battery life will suck and it won't be powerful enough to matter. The fact that I can pull out my phone and have a substantially better screen (resolution and quality as OLED is preferable to LCD) just makes this a nonstarter for me.

This is the sort of thing I'd salivate over when I was a teenager before I understood tech specs don't make a good product. In fact, it reminds me of this thing which I was excited for over 10 years ago (I don't remember when it launched, but it took forever and by the time it happened I'd lost interest).

Did you have expectations of good games coming from Google? Do they have a track record for that?

Shutting down a Google game studio seems like a good decision. Stadia should be trying to make it easier for publishers to publish on their platform (or paying for exclusives); not trying to build their own games.

That said, I'd have a lot more enthusiasm if I had better than 20 ms ping to my first hop.
AZ has been withdrawn in South Africa because it doesn't work well against the South Africa variant, which is also now known to be experiencing community spread in several parts of the US. So, whether the US (which wasn't alone in not approving it) was right to reject it based on information available in the past, it doesn't seem like it's something we want to try to gear up for now.
We use C++17 to make our professional 3D printers go. We look forward to C++20 features when they become available. We shed a few hundred lines of code when we upgraded to 17 because we could drop hand-rolled stuff. It works. Nothing is meaningfully faster. And if you try hard it’s faster still.
yes you are absolutely right, these are more oligopolies not monopolies.

I think the oligopoly term hasn't really entered the North American vernacular. Even I think about Russian oil companies when I hear it.

And yes, we're still creating more of these every year as Big Tech expands to eat the world.
Thanks a lot. I will.
Wow, reimplementing printf is like pre-heartbleed OpenSSL level of NIH insanity.
Sure, but being able to use hardware controls is a big plus and opens up a lot more games. Touch screen controls can be okay, but I never found it great (the little I tried). (Edit: of course you could use a bluetooth controller, but for on the go that gets a bit cumbersome to prop up the screen and bring a separate controller. No perfect solution either way.)

Good link, Adrian Zenz is not big on the 'gays' and stuff, off topic but -

Although it must suck having a Chinese army dragging out info on who their opponents are, I personally are critical of someone who looks at Christian documents to pin down technical data on the Rapture. I don't care if someone doesn't personally approve of homosexuals or believes in the Rapture, but when they publish on it, I use that to judge their other work. And this is were we differ, your 'good' sources are simply not my 'good' sources. The first thing on Wiki or Goggle is not a source to me.
> Not sure if a troll given I address this in the OP. You can't just upload images. Internal dissections, DNA sequences, imaging at SEM scale, all of these are not rare requirements, they are the norm. Specimens have to be meticulously collected, preserved, and vouchered in Natural History collections as part of this process (Science should be replicable to some degree).

Take the comment a little more gently. You didn't really address that by just saying "many of which require internal dissection, or molecular methods". And even with this followup, it's not fully addressed. Dissection takes an expert, sure. But DNA extraction doesn't require deep knowledge about the species. And preservation requires skills but not taxonomy skills. Does SEM imaging for this purpose usually require species expertise?

I'm not saying you're wrong overall here, I'm just saying there are pretty obvious points where the average person won't know the answer or which of these skills end up mattering the most.

> It's a wonderful aspiration to live in a society where anyone will have the free time to "level-up" to a taxonomists level of experience

I don't think that's what they were suggesting.
I am certainly not saying that it's 100% a "natural" example of this either. In particular, the money invested there is a lot less than a Series D startup. But, I suspect (which I cannot yet confirm) that if you did it in an attempt to maximise your gains, you'd wind up with vastly better returns than if you've chosen to run all your money on a single bet.

The most important thing here though is, that it's very likely that some of those investments will eventually yield big returns that you would like to share with your team. As that becomes a reality, your investment becomes your team's. You could then use those returns on another team as a way to further leverage their collective capital (e.g. to fund their employee hiring efforts by paying them) and they could then use their own capital as their own way to increase their employee morale (e.g. by creating a startup, selling it to a VC), without being obligated to be on the team's side.

This sort of model will likely be extremely attractive to founders to use, but it's still likely a very conservative way of approaching building a team in these types of models. This is something you can see in a lot of other sectors of the industry and it's something I have not witnessed here with the exception of maybe the big VC's. Also, as a company grows and its employees get larger, you may simply become an important part of the team and have less room to invest in your own capital as they grow. This is a fairly common phenomenon in tech circles right now in general but it's not something you might see in the tech industry with a lot of companies in general.

It was GitHub who wanted to make this change. I don't think they can impact how the git command works. GitHub has a separate desktop UI client but afaik the git binary is from a different organization.

I think if you look at arbitrary religious restrictions, those also probably trace their origins to an overactive neurotic mind with too much time on their hands. Those guys then develop nonsensical restrictions.
This is what people call "luck" when talking about successful startups. Unfortunately some people are just more "lucky" than others :)

Yes, only governments and private companies should be allowed to have these tools. They are notably less powerful than the dangerous masses. They have never abused or harassed anyone. They also wear some of the most tasty boots.

> So this is how you justify it to yourself? Honest question.

Sounds more like a loaded question.
in the past 3-4 decades Taxonomists have done a poor (some would say terrible) job at describing to the broader world why they are important

Without disputing your claim, why is this taxonomists' job? Imagine spending 10-15 years of academic work to get a PhD and become the world expert on something important but obscure, and then being told you need to market yourself to the general public and devote a significant portion of your time to answering stupid questions (as in 'who cares about this boring stuff' as opposed to 'what is the airspeed of a pigeon').

If I understand your 3rd paragraph correctly, maybe the real problem here is university administrators ending up actually in charge of things rather than as mere functionaries whose job is to facilitate the academics' goals, mysterious as those may be.Every single academic person I know loathes the administrators of their institutions (as a class rather than at the individual level, though I can think of exceptions) but seem helpless to displace them.
Source reconstructions efforts are one of those things in programming that make me realise how little I know and how bad I actually am at this job!
BSV is a small cryptocurrency, the market cap is smaller than the joke coin Dogecoin. $4B is less than half of a percent of the market cap of Bitcoin.

Furthermore, an investment in BSV isn't necessarily a validation of Craig Wright's claims.
Just a random thought regarding activation: they could also have a channel broadcasting all new activations, so that you could put your radio into an activation mode while you're finalizing your subscription. Or they could give you an activation code that you could enter manually somehow (it could just be a simple message signed with Sirius' private key).
We are talking about research code here. And from many of the comments, it seems like the biggest hurdle is not understanding requirements the first time around. This is incredibly common.

I work in computational biology, and my normal thought process is that by default, you should expect to write the code three times (especially for less experienced developers).

The first time, you don’t know the problem.

The second time you’ve figured out the problem, but don’t know the best way to do it.

The third time, you’ve figured out the problem and a decent strategy to solve the problem.

With more experience, you can narrow that to just two iterations. But really, especially with research, you rarely have a good feel for the problem domain the first time around. And when you have the expectation that you’re going to throw the code away, you don’t get quite as hung up on implementation details for the first two rounds. And because of that, the process is easier. And you don’t have to worry about refactoring bad code. Just accept the first round as an experiment and take what you’ve learned about the problem to write better the next time.

I'm fairly confident that since the lookup table fits comfortably in L1 cache, both algorithms will be about equally fast. You may see a difference if you have to case-fold the entire Library of Congress several times per user operation. The other case where there may be meaningful difference in performance would be embedded devices with small caches and slow memory.
I wish the article said how he was caught
In the past you wouldn't put your money in something you believed it would grow faster than. And if you get a chance to make it, you'll be able to make it, with a higher level of risk than before. If you're worried about investing in this thing, I'm afraid the world is much less scary than we thought! To me, investing on a market is like investing on a stock or bond where there is a risk component, but it's also a good way to increase value through the investment of your time. You can make big investments when they are easy, but if the future is uncertain, then you'll have a real life time risk to be managed. If you have problems on your side and are not able to solve it, there's very little chance of a positive return (or loss). So a market is not a guarantee of being a good investment. And in any case, most people (including me) are afraid of risk in the markets in general.
Flight frequency is still less than half of normal. With reduced frequency you wouldn't expect a years worth of total engine failures in a week.

I disagree. It is the business owners who are requiring their customers to use social media, not the social media companies. That same business would just as easily only accept cash and not have any website or social media at all.
This seems like it'd be easy to test and important if true. Has there been any follow-up?
It's a rubber stamp like many other things in this development model.

Not saying their QA is useful, but it's not tough to imagine their QA being many layers removed from decision making. ie: Program Manager -> Product Owner -> Project Manager -> Business Analyst -> QA -- not even mentioning reporting lines.

That person in QA at the end of the chain is likely following a script written & approved by the layers above them to a T. It's highly unlikely that they are empowered to go off script or raise tangential issues. Doing so may even cost them their job.

"I also think measures of price inflation are almost useless over the long run, because a person today consumes a very different bundle of goods than one in, say, 1950."
I agree with this wholeheartedly. How do we put a value on the fact that, for the cost of no more than a day's labor, most in the US can have a handheld device with access to nearly the sum total of the world's knowledge and entertainment? No one, at any cost, could've had such a thing even 30 years ago.
If I’m going to use “JSON with comments” that I have to run through a preprocessor before parsing, why not just use a language where comments are explicitly allowed (YAML, TOML, etc.)? Crockford’s answer is not a solution. His words can be rewritten as: “you want comments? Use a different language that looks and feels like JSON, but isn’t.” All that does is add confusion.

The only reason JSON is as popular as it is is because JavaScript parses it natively (JSON.parse is defined by the JS spec).

Yeah, they definitely must do decryption on the device, which means they must have some tamper-proof chip that has never been broken (as far as I can tell, there's no leaked decryption key). That's actually pretty surprising to me.
