Perhaps someone should deploy the UN committee on hard line wrapping to the site this document was authored to investigate possible crimes against humanity.
Any attempts to create a consensus or scientific basis would, based on our current society's views towards science, only further to harden people's stance that science is wrong. Especially if it agreed with the principle that fewer people would be better for the environment.

Which makes sense, logically. Fulfilling a human's basic needs involves world-wide supply chains filled with oil-guzzling vehicles. Fulfilling their entertainment needs requires even more of the same.

RISE was born out of peer reviewed research, shaped working with elite athletes, and today helps anyone with a smart phone improve sleep, have more energy, and take advantage of it.

Sleep is a $100bn industry and growing. Most products on the market sell you slick wearables, pretty data, bunk readiness and sleep scores, but don't actually help people get more sleep or achieve what they really want: to feel better. RISE does because we follow the science.

We're are scaling fast and backed by world-class investors who have invested in companies like Peloton, Fitbit, Facebook, Spotify, and Twitter.

Run a local vpn like netguard! https://netguard.me/ I leave mine on deny by default.

That said, I completely agree. Google's approach to permissions on Android has been wildly user-hostile, and full of nonsense bundling like (relatively harmless) device-ID and (very much not) access to all call logs. Stuff like XPrivacy[1] demonstrates how they could have done this with far more user control and far less app interruption, but they haven't.

[1]: not the UI, the UI is terrible. but "send fake contacts" or "block outright" for every API is excellent, and doesn't require changing apps to support. the fact that the apps can query the state and I cannot lie about it is a problem, because they often require lots of bullshit that's not required.
The maximum that you can get charged at Coinbase is 1% for a buy & sell transaction pair (0.5% each way), if you don't trade much... so half of webull : https://i.imgur.com/IohYn4o.png

Well, (a) just because they invested in Coinbase, which does crypto, doesn’t mean they have as much confidence in crypto as they have in Coinbase—betting on Coinbase is a bet on the volatility of crypto + Coinbase’s ability to win, not a bet on the price of crypto, (b) you have to pay taxes in dollars, (c) their investors probably want dollars.
Coordinated Mars Time (MTC) is an actual thing [1]. The abbreviation follows from UTC, which is abbreviated that way because English speakers wanted CUT (coordinated universal time) and French speakers wanted TUC (temps universel coordonné), so we compromised on an abbreviation that works in neither language (I wish I was joking).

The commit going on to call the config TZ=MCT could totally be a typo that will persist for eternity, just like the "referer" header.

I hear you. I get where people are coming from in a general sense. On the other hand, it strikes me as a kind of provincialism. I feel like the same argument could have been made in 1930s San Francisco: “ok everybody, time to hit the pause button, I like it here now!” But on the other hand people should have a say in what their cities are like and how they develop.

Gut microbial taxa elevated by dietary sugar disrupt memory function
Abstract:

Emerging evidence highlights a critical relationship between gut microbiota and neurocognitive development. Excessive consumption of sugar and other unhealthy dietary factors during early life developmental periods yields changes in the gut microbiome as well as neurocognitive impairments. However, it is unclear whether these two outcomes are functionally connected. Here we explore whether excessive early life consumption of added sugars negatively impacts memory function via the gut microbiome. Rats were given free access to a sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) during the adolescent stage of development. Memory function and anxiety-like behavior were assessed during adulthood and gut bacterial and brain transcriptome analyses were conducted. Taxa-specific microbial enrichment experiments examined the functional relationship between sugar-induced microbiome changes and neurocognitive and brain transcriptome outcomes. Chronic early life sugar consumption impaired adult hippocampal-dependent memory function without affecting body weight or anxiety-like behavior. Adolescent SSB consumption during adolescence also altered the gut microbiome, including elevated abundance of two species in the genus Parabacteroides (P. distasonis and P. johnsonii) that were negatively correlated with hippocampal function. Transferred enrichment of these specific bacterial taxa in adolescent rats impaired hippocampal-dependent memory during adulthood. Hippocampus transcriptome analyses revealed that early life sugar consumption altered gene expression in intracellular kinase and synaptic neurotransmitter signaling pathways, whereas Parabacteroides microbial enrichment altered gene expression in pathways associated with metabolic function, neurodegenerative disease, and dopaminergic signaling. Collectively these results identify a role for microbiota “dysbiosis” in mediating the detrimental effects of early life unhealthy dietary factors on hippocampal-dependent memory function.

I'm reading this claim every day across so many subjects now—that the goal was racist in origin. Not knowing anything about SF myself, I am however tempted to ask if __classism__ is the better culprit. Classism can masquerade as racism (as in this example), creating the same outcomes, but it requires a different antidote to treat.
Snapchat's snap map, but they are on a delay, not live.
> “It got really ugly,” said Silvia Baca Garcia, 33, a Phoenix resident from Honduras who scrambled to feed her three children and granddaughter during months of unemployment caused by the viral outbreak. “It had been a lot easier when my two boys were in school and getting their hot breakfasts and lunches everyday.”

It's not explicitly stated, but many of these examples are very, very likely to be non-legal immigrants, who do not qualify for SNAP aka food stamps. That is a huge political hairball. I'd be pretty surprised if many citizens fell into a similar category.

(with older adults I'm not sure what's going on, but my guess is communication or service literacy problems are a large part of it. ie, just getting people registered who don't know that they are eligible.)

As far as what is feasible, Apple does a very good job with their iPhone/iPad security. With both hardware and software. You can read about it how it all works in their platform security guide.

On the Android side, Google makes good software changes to Android, but ultimately the security is dependent on the handset maker (e.g. Samsung) and SoC maker (e.g. Qualcomm). Security will vary between Android phones. The bigger Android phone makers are more able to make security investments than the cheaper phone makers.
Because Android doesn't take security and privacy seriously. No one who is worried about those two things should be using android

>it's too OOP-y for me, I can't really see what it's doing

Eh, Rust doesn't have OOP. What do you mean? I get that Rust is a bit hard to read if you aren't used to it but apart from that it's fine for me. Don't forget that Rusts verbose-ness also stems from dealing with the borrow-checker which in turn gives you memory safety. Almost every C-project has memory bugs somewhere.

The thing with cargo: In general cargo is really painless, the first build does take long but after that build times are ok for most projects. You only run into problems with projects like servo which are huge.

build.sh scripts have to be managed by the author while cargo run magically works in basically any Rust project.

>Am I too stubborn? Or should a terminal emulator really be not such a massive project? (No offense meant).

Depends, this is not only an emulator but also a multiplexer. A simple terminal emulator that supports basic commands is a small program, I mean look suckless st. But if you get into suporting ligatures, UTF8 etc. you will get a lot more complexity that in turn adds code and dependencies.

I imagine properly supporting UTF8 and Ligatures in C would be a huge pain.
Why? Anyone who would be investing in companies would know it's Biontech if they did 5 minutes of research. I think they'll do just fine after developing the vaccine. The people who matter to their future will know their name.
For me, beginning of July is probably the relevant date, I usually go up to Maine then. So I'll have my vaccinations but probably won't change behavior all that much through late May/June and will (rightly or wrongly) expect more or less back to "normal" (doing heavy lifting) in July.

> Even insofar as that’s true, don’t people also experience happiness and joy, and isn’t that preferable to non-existence?

Unless you're implying an argument from personal incredulity, it seems the quote in the 2nd paragraph of the article fully answers this question.

So can you walk in and say "give it to me German style" ?
Your analysis is interesting and far from exhaustive, It would be nice to have a collaborative feature matrix for languages, on github.

Kotlin solve the following points:

null - we all know, so I'm not going to bother expanding except to say that @NotNull is NOT a solution and it doesn't guarantee shit.

I don't hate checked exceptions as a concept, but the fact that you can't be "generic" over the exceptions in a function signature is frustrating. This is why everyone says they're "incompatible" with Java's closure APIs.

No unsigned ints.

No concept of `const` or immutability.

Kotlin allow to specify either variance or contravariance so I guess it fixe this point too?
* The fact that arrays got type variance wrong*

* interfaces are extremely lacking compared to type classes and lead to verbose and cumbersome patterns such as "Adapter".*
Interesting, can you link to an example?
Kotlin has first class support for delegation as an alternative.

* Type-erased generics. Why shouldn't I be able to implement a generic interface for multiple types? E.g., class MyNumber implements Comparable<Integer>, Comparable<Short>, Comparable<Long> {}*
Kotlin has support for reified generics to some extent.
The JVM is currently getting state of the art support for it too and for specialization.

* Dates and timezones are still insane, even in Java 8+.*
I always hear that Java has got the best Time library, what is the complaint about?

* JDBC sucks. JPA also kind of sucks.*
Do yourself a favor and use the JDBI or so many other sexy alternatives.

Of all your points the only unaddressed are:
* interfaces are extremely lacking compared to type classes and lead to verbose and cumbersome patterns such as "Adapter".

And
Silent integer overflow/wrap-around*

Strong agree about stockolmization and cargo cultism of language constructs.

Most programming languages are pretty awful Correct, hence why Kotlin stands out.

>> So you are going to vote for someone who says they will fix this, and that is about all you are going to do?

Yes I will. I pay my taxes, it's not my fault the government wastes my money on the military and law enforcement. When there are candidates that pledge to fix this I donate to them and vote for them.
> Here, his sweatshirt lists the first 20 digitally delicate primes.

Isn't the first digitally delicate prime simply 2? Or are single-digit primes excluded? Or am I missing something terribly fundamental?

edit Or is it that, because we can replace 2 by 3 and still get a prime, it doesn't count? Which is to say, replacing any digit in the number by any other digit, must always result in a non-prime?
The article also doesn't mention that the experiment simply involves lofting 2lbs of chalk
That's their quote for casual users. You get much tighter spreads on coinbase pro.
> Are you looking at a different world than me?

I mean, yes? You seem to be focusing on what's happening today, whereas I was pretty deliberate in my framing of my idea as something "within the next century".

And no, just because people are slow to adopt new technologies doesn't mean those new technologies never were developed. We have the technology today to connect every major city - and probably most minor cities - throughout the Americas or throughout Europe/Asia/Africa with high speed rail, and we probably have the resources, too. Hell, both were arguably true 50 years ago. Our reasons for not doing so are political, not technological.
That's not what happened.

Just think about the mass of all microscopic organisms outside the labs that suffer mutations all the time. Worrying about innocuous bacteria turning into something bad on accident within comparatively very limited environment of a laboratory doesn't make much sense. Think also of the many free floating bacteria cells in our environment that die due to various factors, whose bodies then have to break apart. Compared to what may happen in a lab, I imagine that those pieces of dead cells floating around freely may pose a greater risk of falling and fitting somehow within living host cells altering their function. (That's one of the mutation vectors, BTW, be it constructive or destructive.) The only scenario that makes sense to seriously worry about when a lab works with/on a virus or bacteria is if the material they started with carries inherently a high risk, or (worse) if they focus on weaponizing it (but that would not be "unknowingly" as you mention).
I assumed this was an April Fools prank.
It also says something about people thinking they are good communicators but are actually just afraid. I guess both can be true.
I'm not arguing against the points you are making, but they are subtly different from what OP implied. It's hard to make specific claims against a vague analogy that just seems to embody a mindset, but that's what I'm trying to do. And it's not a strawman even if it would happen to miss OP's intent; you see this mindset everywhere.

My point was that OP appears to would have rejected this hypothesis out of hand, and that this approach that would be wrong if everyone that matters did it. Obviously there were people who mattered who did not, as the experiment demonstrates.

A posteriori it's difficult to put numbers on it, but I'd say this experiment was worth doing even if your heuristics put it at a 0.1% chance of succeeding. Obviously that's not the case for Mad Morty's 1000th garage-built perpetual motion machine, but multiple physicists obviously evaluated this hypothesis as less shitty than that.

All in all we would probably agree if we could just zero in on our key points, so I probably shouldn't have spent four paragraphs on this.
> I've always thought that it would be nice to have variables which you don't name, which only live over a couple of lines, where it's clear the variable is just for some plumbing and doesn't need a name

Android collecting 20x the amount of data compared to iOS [pdf]
If money was truly debased, you'd see wages and product prices rise. The asset classes we've seen increase in price are stocks, bonds, healthcare, education, and property. What we haven't seen increase are food, consumer goods, or wages. You can say that the currency is being debased, but the numbers are the same for 2010 as they in 2020. The issue is that there simply is no way to accumulate wealth on the amount earned -- there's nothing left after expenses. Inflation or deflation wouldn't help this.

I am a US medical student so I am in a hospital or clinic almost every day. Our hospital is a tertiary care safety net hospital and all the patients are sick as hell because they have poor access to healthcare. So I know what that looks like, and I'm not arguing that the American "system" is good. I just think you can't say that patients present with higher stage cancers in America based on what's presented in that paper. America likely has worse health outcomes for lower income people, and my guess based on what I've seen is that that's driven by untreated diabetes, hypertension, and higher rates of smoking leading to increased incidence of MI, stroke, and kidney disease, but I have no data to back that up. I would also guess that the reason you're not seeing higher stage presentation in those papers is that poor people who would have had those later presentations are dying of heart disease and CKD before they can develop those cancers. Just my suspicion and I am happy to be proven wrong by data. It is just frustrating to me when people on this site who are generally more educated than your average person will toss anecdotes and unsupported claims around, particularly about healthcare.
