Thanks. I think there's a whole interesting discussion about classes of intellectual work like writing and photography that are less respected in the digital world (from the standpoint of copyright) than software and films.

Your comment also highlights another aspect of theoretical arguments of the sort ddevault gives that I think is interesting. If you take them seriously, then there ought not to be any intellectual property at all, so someone should be able to just set up a website like "get your stuff here dot com" where you can download whatever you like, with no legal prohibition or moral inhibition.

If this were true, the piracy landscape would look vastly different than what it looks like today, and I think this seriously undermines the kind of pragmatic responses my comment has gotten along the lines of "actually, piracy is helpful to the industry". Because in all likelihood, that can only be true (if it is true) up to a point.

The ultimate question is, do we see the point of making sure artists and creators have a way to live off the work they do for us? A copyright system may not be the best way to ensure this, or it might even be outright unethical! If so, let's come up with a better one.
To be fair, those studies were done in a world where software piracy is against the law in many places, considered wrong by many, and can have real consequences to those that engage in it. Those facts have direct impacts on the amount of piracy that happens. If piracy were completely legal and the average person was comfortable doing it, then the impact on the sales of software would likely be much higher.

It is not unreasonable to argue that some piracy is not a big deal and may, in fact, be helping developers (and producers of other content). However, as soon as you start arguing that it should be legal, expected, and normal to do so, you change the entire landscape.
People are free to disagree with and act against the developers. That's more than you can say for, for example, the United States Government; if I disagree with tax policy or federal monetary policy, I (may) have the option to leave, but changing the system would take a lifetime, if its even possible. Creating a new system without moving countries would inevitably end with the police at my doorstep.

Miners want money. Ethereum, like every currency, is worth what it is because of people. The value of Ethereum goes where the money velocity goes; in other words, where the users go. The critical question is not what the developers or miners support; its what the users support. Well, barring any major conflicts of interest, they'll/we'll probably support the developers; their power comes directly and only from the trust that the collective democracy of ethereum's users has in them. If Vitalik demonstrated extreme prejudice against ethereum's users, then the users would (probably) revolt, and new developers would be installed, but critically: Ethereum, like all blockchains, enables that in a way which doesn't involve the war, death, and bloodshed that overthrowing governments typically requires.

Miners want to have their cake and eat it too. They don't give a shit about Ethereum's users. They want a high ETH token price, wholly and totally supported by Ethereum's users, but without this RFC, which both the developers and most users support. They could fork, give the middle finger to the users, and their secondary TRASH-ETH blockchain would be worth nothing, because it doesn't have users, but at least they'd have proof of work. That's why they'll lose; not because the developers are on the other side, but because the users have put their faith in the developers, not the miners. And that's a very healthy position for ethereum to be in right now.

7000 people ages 18-39 have dies of covid19 in the U.S. [0][1]. There's at least 75 million people in that age group! (maybe more, sorry no handy/easy/exact reference)

That's 1 in 10,000 odds of dying for that age group. They are 20 times more likely to die of something else.

I think it is unreasonable that any of these people are restricting themselves out of fear. The 1 in 10,000 odds don't justify missing out on loosing the enjoyment of 1-2 in 20 years of their youth.

For those who are healthy and not old the numbers do not appear to back up the prevailing fearful narrative around this virus.

I misread the parent post and I was interpreting the clue correctly after all. Thanks for helping clarify. It was a fun puzzle.
I think the helping with progress rationale is probably part of purchase decision, as well as the product feel and performance itself, but there is also the fancy tech coolness aspect. It seems to be viewed in a similar way to Apple products. There are lots of positives with products from both companies but they also seem to be viewed almost like fancy tech jewelry.
I am so tired of these sorts of articles. Even in a piece proposing that "autism is based on genes that are 70,000 years old and we are basically pattern seekers" they fail to really make the point "Maybe it isn't, per se, a defect at all." I imagine the author is going for that, but the article doesn't really get there. The article comes across like "Autistic guy likes his defect and wants to prettify it by claiming it's a feature not a bug (while we snicker up our sleeves behind his back)."

When do I get to see some headlines asking "Are they really defective? Or did the world just go and get all busier and noisier than in the past while humans kind of mostly stayed the same?"

Re sensory issues (which are often associated with ASD):

My parents couldn't stand noise. They were tyrannical about keeping things quiet so they could sleep.

No one accused them of being autistic. They were just old and set in their ways and spent all or part of their childhoods on a farm where things were quieter than the modern world.

Kids used to be called shy if they weren't social butterflies. Now we take them to a specialist and get them labels like autism and selective mutism and treat them like defective weirdos.

Not everyone is a social butterfly. The human race was never mostly social butterflies.

Also also: social skills are learned behaviors. If kids get less attention from other people and spend all their time staring at a TV or something instead, is it really shocking that they don't have much social savvy these days? Won't this show most obviously in those kids who innately need to work at it to learn it and don't naturally soak it up like a sponge?

(Edited because autocorrect is sometimes an annoying butt.)
Personally I think it's more likely that we are grouping a bunch of distinct disorders under the "Autism" label right now, because psychiatric diagnosis is still quite crude. Origins, mechanisms, etc. could be widely different while still causing some overlap in symptom profile. Imagine if we had to distinguish between different infections using only fuzzy behavioral definitions for example.
Capatilism will produce the desired kettle.

It's an open contest, the first to produce it will stand a chance of rich reward. Right now the article's author has a headstart on everyone else on the planet, if he truly understands what people want in a kettle. (If he doesn't, then he's at the head of the line to waste some time and money).

Installing an OBD2 adaptor on Tesla Model 3
Such a system would be considerably preferable over cloud for things like backup of your phone files and photos (bandwidth), direct sharing of voluminous files (bandwith, no need to wait for upload to complete), videoconferencing (latency)
The argument here is insufficiently clear on the mechanism by which priors get trapped. I'm thinking the argument goes something like this:

a Bayesian updater takes in new evidence, and the adjusts their priors based on that evidence. Crucially, the information that is fed back into the Bayesian machine should be independent of the prior.

People do not have direct access to evidence. They only have their perception of that evidence, and the content of those perceptions depend in various complicated ways on people's priors. Therefore, evidence that should move people's priors may move them less than they should.

Sounds plausible. I think reinforcement learning algorithms like temporal difference learning are probably a more accurate description of how people learn tha Bayesian update, but the issue described would apply regardless.

Exactly. It may take only 25 minutes.

But how many of the people making up this average leave home an hour earlier than most of us just to beat traffic?

How much buffer time is then also factored in, and wasted?

No even taking into account the cognitive and emotional cost of the commute.

i.e. the subway in Paris is full of stressed out people, stinks, is more or less reliable and makes an awful lot of stressful loud noises.

I’ve switched to cycling 2 years ago, and even when I get home drenched by the rain and frozen by the wind do I still not miss the "métro". At all.

And I’d bet driving can be quite stressful too.
How would you know to trust the platform you are running on with some sort of hardware key and attestation?

I don't know of any way to do this, period.
Showed Queenly to my wife, and it clicked with her instantly. She reminisced about having to get several catalogs to find the right prom dress.

We both love the name, although if I'm being honest I think the brand colors and fonts could be elevated in order to more meaningfully distinguish yourself from eBay and your other non-verticalized competitors (who all seem to have kind of tech-y, too-fun brands).

Some feedback on your positioning:

1. It wasn't immediately clear whether Queenly was a marketplace, a store, or some mix of both. This matters to us because it helps set our expectations around the buying experience.

2. Since some photos were stock photos, we wondered whether a seller could send you a dirty dress (or nothing at all). We found the answer (dry cleaning!) in your FAQ. In our eyes, this is a big differentiator vs eBay or similar. Might be worth highlighting that more prominently.

In general, it looks like you have a great product that solves a real problem. I know homepage real estate is at a premium, and you probably want to highlight inventory, but it might be worth doing a little more selling in the early days to explain why you're different. On a hunch, I checked out what StockX did to thread this needle a few years ago. I think their approach is elegant: https://web.archive.org/web/20170216204356/https://stockx.co...

Is there a way to intercept data between the Switch and online Fortnite services?

I recently bought a Switch and have been playing Fortnite online...noticed more and more "online gamers" have been behaving like bots, so I'd like to take a look at the data if possible (to see if I'm playing against actual people)
Ethical and moral are synonyms. I don't understand the difference you're trying to draw.

Definition of ethical

1 : of or relating to ethics
// ethical theories
2 : involving or expressing moral approval or disapproval
// ethical judgments
3 : conforming to accepted standards of conduct
// ethical behavior

Definition of moral (Entry 1 of 2)

1a : of or relating to principles of right and wrong in behavior : ETHICAL
// moral judgments
b : expressing or teaching a conception of right behavior
// a moral poem
c : conforming to a standard of right behavior
// took a moral position on the issue though it cost him the nomination
OT: Imagine "experts" from our industry explain the mainstream our world: e.g. what's the right programming language, or database technology, why types matter, or not?

In my opinion this is the exact reason C# was picked. Almost everything C# is either Windows-only or Console/Server app. This is neither and that's what's interesting to me.
> People give Trump shit for his statement that, one day, the virus will just magically disappear. He deserves it, but not because it won't disappear; it will disappear, but it won't be because of magic.

The "magic" part, I think, was about perception: Infection rates have been dropping almost worldwide for two months (more, in some places), but people seem to think infections are steady or still increasing despite vaccinations (concern about variants, old messaging (we still have signs up from November here), etc). For a lot of people, it will look like magic when it's suddenly no longer a concern.
What an amazing collection. I'm having fun just browsing the directory
> It's not very nice for a package to stomp on that.

Yes, sure. That doesn't stop hundreds of vendors with custom install scripts who will use /usr and /opt which is the current state of things. Systemd actually provides a workaround here which stops that package from changing those hierarchies globally, which... seems like something you'd want?

> you might introduce a bug/condition that doesn't show up in a recovery boot scenario

Why would you try to run anything but recovery tools in a recovery boot scenario?

You can reproduce the same environment using the same overlay configuration - that setup is not hidden from you. It's not any more confusing in forensic than a docker service and we deal with them (including bind-mounts) just fine.

Not sure if anything exists but I wish something would do in memory compression + smart disk spillover. Sometimes I want to work with 5-10GB compressed data sets (usually log files) and decompressed that ends up being 10x (plus add data structure overhead). There's stuff like Apache Drill but it's more optimized for multi node than running locally
The general consensus in the field is that 4x is an overestimate for the reasons you describe, but the "ground truth" would still be increased prevalence in men. Interestingly there are even some mouse models of Autism where the male behavior is what one might expect from an ASD model, but the females don't really behave differently from controls. There are of course also some models where you can get erratic female behavior. Ultimately I think there's just a lot we don't understand yet.

I don’t think it’s correct to say ADHD is being suppressed. People with ADHD take amphetamines to make daily life easier, like actually being able to stick to a schedule, or maintain a clean house.

I guess I'm just skeptical that anyone can be truly sure of which exposed epitopes are conserved (I haven't seen data on this residue or drug, these are just my thoughts). Given that we're talking about a three dimensional structure, you really need a number of conserved residues in physical proximity to have an inescapable monoclonal antibody. It seems quite possible that there aren't any targets like this and that only a polyclonal immune response, or maybe a cocktail of monoclonals, can be effective in the long-term.

Ha, I actually watched that video earlier today. I'm definitely hoping that they get this into full production, as it really does look like an exciting vehicle.

We had gone a long time without any new successful car companies, and now maybe we can have two launched this century? Maybe even a few little boutique makers can make a go of it too... I really what Aptera is doing right now.
Quoting the paper:

> In the past, acute health problems were reported in mountain climbers who had prepared their beverages with melted snow that was not supplemented with necessary ions. A more severe course of such a condition coupled with brain oedema, convulsions and metabolic acidosis was reported in infants whose drinks had been prepared with distilled or low-mineral bottled water (11).

Reference 11:

> 11. Anonymous. Hyponatremic seizures among infants fed with commercial bottled drinking water – Wisconsin, 1993. MMWR 1994; 43: 641-643.

Look that paper up and you will find the two (!) case studies in it were a woman who subsituted bottle formula with water for a whole day and a woman who gave her infant three bottles of formula a day and three bottles of water a day.

This is a reference I picked at random, from a provocative claim; it was so dishonest I didn't bother with the rest.
After trying it out, this is unabashedly a clone of Airtable, but I couldn't find any apps/add-ons (yet?). To me, the apps, automations, and ability to create custom apps are what make Airtable so powerful. I did see mention of support for third-party plugins on the info site, but not when I tested it out; too early I guess.
I'd be wary of colliding with Postel's Law, which I depend on much more often than I'd like. But otherwise agree!
I think that characterization misses some key symptoms in certain profiles of ASD though. Sensory sensitivity can be hugely important. There was a really interesting study where they took a few common ASD mouse model mutations and instead of mutating all neurons, only targeted primary sensory neurons (so nothing in the brain was directly altered!). These mice developed to have very similar behavioral profile to the "normal" models - not just the core sensory symptoms, but more general anxiety, increased preference for objects over peers, etc.

Those new consumer goods are a lawsuit away from fixing whatever dangerous characteristics they are shipping with today.
Pretty much exactly this. I want an autonomous car. I want an electric car. I want an electric car with an extensive charger network. I want fancy doodads in the cockpit. Teslas tick off all the boxes here, and... really no one else is close.

If it was the choice between Musk's offering and a car from a bland manufacturer without an asshole at the helm that still did everything the Tesla did? Sure, I'd drive the Mercedes or Cadillac or whatever. But there just is no such car. What I want is a Tesla, period.
I've pondered this a lot and I mostly agree, though your harsh criticism of the flowery articles is a bit... harsh. Personally, I think when people don't get understood in outright saying their point (eg: "I'm not defective, you being a little bit more understanding would go a long way") they end up having to paint imagery for people, and this is the kind of output you get.

It's also a good reminder that the functional degrees of autism only share characteristics, it is still possible (to my knowledge) that these are entirely unrelated and only related on the facade.
This seems like a pretty key piece:

This separation of responsibilities has contributed to a culture gap between the agencies. As the agency responsible for writing regulations, NHTSA has to trade safety off against other considerations like economic costs, the lobbying clout of automakers, and the risk of consumer backlash. In contrast, NTSB's rulings are purely advisory, which frees the agency to doggedly advocate strong safety measures.

(NTSB is the one “blasting” Tesla). It’s hard to be completely sympathetic to a system-safety-at-all-costs viewpoint, in that slowing down the development of actual full self driving with superhuman performance by even a year due to increased friction on making changes has severe hidden costs - 38,000 are killed every year in the US alone in car-related incidents, and many more are severely injured with long lasting repercussions. And many of those are in the prime of their lives, so it’s worse than an apples to apples comparison with death counts from many ailments would suggest.

I think the NHTSA letting things develop on their own for a bit is actually the smart move here, all things considered.

That said, Tesla’s marketing strategy is pretty borderline.
Seems like you could intercept the traffic with your router.
I would go further than that:

It should be up for question whether the neurotypicals are actually the ones who are "retarded". Just because there's lots of a particular phenotype of a species doesn't mean they have to be the most apt at what they're doing.

- I don't know if I have autism, but I can observe lots of ways of thinking which are deemed as "autistic" by neurotypicals, and to me those are always the ways of thinking which just make the most sense. Or well, at least the high-functioning autism ones to be fair.

The neurotypical way of maneuvering through the world in contrast seems rather childish usually. Things don't have to make sense there. They just are declared as "that's the way it is done, we've always done it like that", and off you go. Sometimes I wonder if such people even think anything at all about what they're doing most of the time.
They have the best electric drivetrain and are pretty bad for everything else.
