I was thinking of that post or similar. Thanks for finding. I struggled w/ the decision to use Rust or Elixir.
This is how I feel about it as well, although if I think about how slow my current old car accelerates maybe it's not enough of a difference to matter.
So if they're sharing everything, why is not BioNtech mentioned in the submission's title?

This America first thing is becoming really annoying for the rest of the world.
Germany and the EU funded much of the vaccine's development. It's the EU who is supplying the world with vaccines. The US only stand out by blocking exports.
Does Apple excluded Mail.app from their privacy focused strategy?
The situation is changing in the CLR land, now that they can just say that legacy codebases can stay on .NET 4.x, and .NET Core is where all the fancy development is happening. There are already some C# language features that are Core-only because they require the corresponding runtime changes.

The other thing is - people always forget that, unlike JVM, CLR has more than just the object layer. By design, it has enough low-level constructs to compile a language like C++, complete with multiple inheritance, unions, varargs etc. Obviously, you can do pretty much anything on top of that - the only problem is that you won't be able to interop with other .NET code, except through C-style FFI. But, hypothetically, it would be possible to establish a higher-level ABI without baking it into the VM as an object model, thus allowing a reboot without throwing everything away.
This is like the ultimate example of this, coincidentally at the very beginning of the pandemic (before anyone could know how bad it would be) the previous administration proposed to cut SNAP, or what is commonly called food stamps by ~30%:

It would also make work requirements for adults to be eligible.
It probably depends on the industry.

Some of the biggest companies in Europe use Outlook the desktop client, with said external resources disabled.

May differ in technically more advanced countries, of course.

I think it's been tried and what you get is Tokyo. I wouldn't say dystopian but it's also one of the most expensive cities in the world. Apparently the average apartment is about $2000/month.
They achieved this by putting the ladder on the opposite side of the channel from the locks.

So the think with salmon is that they orient by sound. If they don’t know where to go next they head toward the sound of running water - the next rapids upstream. To get them to traverse a dam you have to make waterfall noises in the correct spot and not make them in the wrong spot. I believe I’ve read of people using this to trick salmon into going through locks, but the ladders seem to be simpler.
> I don't think the demographics of this platform fall under that umbrella. If someone on here is asking for more information and articulating their reasons for it well, there's no reason to hide it.

The data is available. No one is hiding it. No one is treating people like idiots. Those with expertise in pandemics may not consider every single internet comment made by every single internet random, but honestly, it would be ridiculous to think every internet random’s comment should have the same weight as those with expertise.

The data is not hidden, we’re all free to analyze it.
I've been reading about the "imminent" collapse of the SF housing bubble for essentially my entire adult life. Even the actual housing bubble implosion in '07 barely put a dent in it.

Hey. I really like the sound of your company. Are you only interested in US based applicants?
Yeah, property _ownership_ not property renting. They work differently for a reason. When housing prices rise, owners are incentivized to sell. When rents rise on rent controlled buildings, renters are incentived to stay put, even if they don't need the space. This incentivizes building owners to not maintain the buildings since they know renters won't leave anyway.

There's tons of ways to make housing affordable without resorting to policies that have been rejected almost unanimously by economists.

I'm not sure I could classify any of 23 items in the default dock as as crapware.

None are demos or trialware. Hell, I use all of them except for FaceTime, Podcasts, Pages, TV and Launchpad.

I do remove most of them from the dock since I use spotlight to launch things, but removing System Preferences from my dock hardly makes it crapware.
Wouldn't any concatenate language fit the bill?

We went to absurd lengths to make Wormhole fast and performant, without sacrificing security. All of the technical challenges we faced came from trying to accomplish these two goals simultaneously:

- Build the absolute fastest way to send files

- Deliver end-to-end encryption without any compromises

Here's a bit more of the technical details:

We use streaming encryption (specifically, the Encrypted Content-Encoding standard also used by the now defunct Firefox Send) so that we can keep memory utilization flat, no matter how large the file.

Then, we take the end-to-end encrypted file data and simultaneously stream it to browser storage and our servers.

When a downloader shows up before the file is fully uploaded, we use the browser copy of the data to stream your files to the downloader directly. This means that they can start downloading even before the files have been uploaded.

For the direct peer-to-peer transfer, we use the WebTorrent protocol (which I created). All file data is end-to-end encrypted before leaving the device. It's encrypted yet again in transit by TLS or WebRTC, and also while at rest on our servers.

We use a combination of browser storage options, depending on which is fastest and the amount of available disk space. We choose from the following storage strategies:

- Storage Foundation API (fastest performance, experimental API, Chrome only for now, https://github.com/fivedots/storage-foundation-api-explainer)

- Filesystem Access API (extremely fast, Chrome only, other browser vendors have expressed interest, https://wicg.github.io/file-system-access/)

- Cache API (pretty fast, wide browser support, comes from the Service Worker spec, https://w3c.github.io/ServiceWorker/#cache)

- Indexed DB (slowest option, wide browser support, https://www.w3.org/TR/IndexedDB/)

- In-memory storage (fastest performance, high memory usage (obviously), used as a fallback when disk is full or in private-browsing windows where storage is limited)

The browser has become so powerful – with WebAssembly and powerful new browser APIs – that we think it's time to use some of that power to make web services more private and secure. It's a lot more work to build a service this way than the normal way, but we think it's worth it.
I don't think that there is any plausible scenario where China takes Taiwan chip fabs intact - if they are not disrupted during the conflict, I strongly presume they would all be intentionally blown up as soon as invading forces get a beachhead.
It is more about literature than his bio. I like it, even if I find it very sad.
Easy. I want a headline that accurately reflects the content of the article. That is my, and perhaps a few others, personal definition of a "good" headline. That is not being measured.

Given that definition, I may not go read the article because it doesn't interest me. It is still a good headline. I didn't waste my time. On the other hand, if I am interested in the content, I would have read the article and would not be irritated that I had been mislead about the content. The metric being used in the article here in no way leads to this definition of a "good" headline. More likely the opposite.
This is already happening via the Five Eyes agreements - the UK already has access at will to any data that Facebook or Google store.
Believe it or not, America is a welfare state and while not as generous as Europe, no one is lacking for $3 to buy food unless they are blowing their government money on something they shouldn't be.
Non-profits can accept assets of any kind, and it takes fifteen seconds to sell $10,000,000 worth of FIL for USD.

It is likely that a majority of charitable contributions are transfers of assets with a wide spectrum of liquidity, mostly illiquid. Accepting an asset is not an indication of interest or speculation or bullishness, any contribution towards a non-profit only tells you that the donor was accepted.

You extrapolated a lot for something you will never have information on, as the subsequent transactions will never be reported.

If people collectively opt to take some risk, then ethically that's fine. Your car and CO2 emission examples both include reciprocation: everyone benefits and takes risk more or less equally. The problem comes when you participate in putting others at risk when they don't want to reciprocate.

For example, what if 90% of people on a flight would prefer for the 10% of unvaccinated-by-choice people not to be present on the flight at all? They would presumably be fine if the airline put on special "unvaccinated" flights for unvaccinated-by-choice people - except that probably wouldn't be viable as a business model. Since there isn't reciprocation, why should the vaccinated people be forced to be put at risk by you?

What if, instead of flights, we were talking about access to your local grocery store?
I don’t think so. It’s a form of constrained writing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constrained_writing).

In such writing, the challenge is to construct beautiful texts despite of artificial constraints.

They wouldn’t understand the constraints, so they wouldn’t be able to understand why nicer texts wouldn’t satisfy them.
Would Elixir's pipe - https://elixir-lang.org/getting-started/enumerables-and-stre... - or Haskell's function composition - https://wiki.haskell.org/Function_composition - fit the criteria?
Yeah, people are reading the effective number wrong. It is very close to 100% in protecting against hospitalization/death, which is what we really care about. If we could vaccinate 100% (perhaps at some time interval), this would be over.
How creativeneous!

I think the answer to your question depends on the conclusion that may come after it.

Like if it's "therefore, past May 15 we should all just act as we did pre-COVID", that's different than "therefore, that's overall very good news for society".

There's a quantitative/qualitative thing going on here. We could be mostly "back to normal" in a broad numbers sense, while immuno-compromised people are left with a much more dangerous reality than they faced pre-COVID. They're left hoping for test/trace/eradication.

Personally, I'll feel pretty safe hanging out, even in closed-in areas, with other vaccinated people. But out and about, the decision to wear a mask will be more predicated on the actual disease prevalence numbers in that area. And we'll all continue to wait on data of how long the vaccines last.
Like you can probably guess, people tend to disable JS not because it can technically enable a good user experience.

Rather, they do so because it enables a majority of websites, and this includes big names like news websites, to create an absolutely horrible user experience - even if, or seemingly because, the content profits in no way from JS.

If you have ever tried to surf on an older laptop recently, you will get what I mean.
Disappointed this headline wasn't crafted to perfectly adhere to their own definition of an ideal headline (11 words and 65 characters):

>>> headline = "100M Posts Analyzed: What You Need to Write the Best Headlines"
>>> len(headline.split())
11
>>> len(headline)
62

So close!
Texas is getting ready to spike again. There are counties where people are actively refusing to get vaccines because Trump told them not to. City folks are actually driving an extra hour or two to those areas to get vaccinated because they believe in science and that the vaccine can help while the locals scoff at them. I think texas will see a huge surge in the rural areas where they don't believe in science within the next month-ish.

I used to wonder this too, and it's a much more nuanced (like everything!) problem than just money/calories. But the point you make is more or less addressed in any literature or documentation on food issues in the US should you care to find it. I suppose here's the modern starting point for most people engaging with a topic they don't understand: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunger_in_the_United_States
I don't think it's hard to take seriously, and at least one of the claims you make about TFA is factually incorrect.

Lol, so many questions :). I myself only use linked list when I do not know in advance how many items I will get. Otherwise I do allocate an array.
Wouldn’t it be more interesting to find a prime number where changing any single digit (maybe besides the least significant one) would still be a prime? Call it a sturdy prime.

I mean, it must be nice to believe this, but the lived experience of millions of Americans would beg to differ.
For obvious reasons, you're not going to see mask mandates for flu season. It's simply not contagious enough. I think there will be more social pressure to wear masks when you're not feeling well and an increased acceptance of staying home when sick though.
IIRC, that was the exact argument for disabling image loading when it was first introduced.

The responsible thing for services like gmail and o365 to do would be to eat the resource costs and just open ALL external content within a privacy sandbox, thereby polluting the data. Then you can re-enable displaying of images for everyone and the experience for designers and end users gets better.
There is no consensus or scientific basis for the claim "we need fewer people".

Pure opinions such as this should, IMO, come with an argument for holding such a view, especially when presented as a statement of fact.
Heh, I get those.

Accord | Founding engineer | Auckland, New Zealand | https://accord.so/

Accord is a web app that helps startups build legal documents lightning-fast from free templates.

Accord handles then entire contract building process for users from beginning to end without them having to leave their browser tab. First, it helps startups generate contracts by asking a series of simple questions. Second, it allows users to edit their contracts through a rich-text editor. Third, it helps users sign their contracts and keep them stored and organized in their account dashboard.

I want the process of building legal documents to be as fun and unintimidating as possible. This shouldn't be an arcane, "dark artsy" process. I think we can help companies become less reliant on legal service providers generally, which is an $800B+ industry.

I was a former lawyer at a leading New Zealand law firm, and I've built the entire product so far myself. I've launched a beta and have just started onboarding my first paid users.

I also recently raised a seed round from Daniel Gross (investor in Uber, GitHub, SpaceX, CoinBase), and I'm recruiting a small team of engineers to take the product out of Beta and reach product/market fit. You can read the announcement here: https://accord.so/blog/seed

Accord is built on React, Next.js, Firebase and Tailwind CSS. Please send me an email at minkyu@accord.so if you'd like to know more!

Do you live in the US suburbia? Because that is a unique place in the world which is built to support big houses for middle class people, where everyone can have a room for their home-office for cheap.

Most of the world is not like that. For example[1], avg apartment size in Bangalore 1260 sqft and in Mumbai is 700 sqft. Most of the knowledge workers live in dense cities around the world and it is not feasible for them to move to the US suburbia.

somewhat long opening but probably a necessary intro. the title scared me but it does end up about being shared stewartship. I still wonder if that's enough to ever make more than an incremental slow impact, whether it really begets a bigger, interesting form.

the metaverse needs robust distributed un-concensus based ways of letting opinions form & present themselves.

we need less stewartship & more people trying to actively explore steering their own boats. a lot more "create more value than you capture", by far, for the tech to ever be able to richen itself & become a primordial place that endless good new ideas & collaborations can spring from.

last shout out, I hope projects like aframe help blend the webverse & the spatial ybernets a little better together. I want to see a page like a room in a mud, with things in it, people mulling about.

I think May 15 is a bit early, but if you say for example 4th of July I think you are correct. At least by that date everyone who wants a vaccine in the US should be able to get it. And they do work incredibly well, enough to lift all restrictions and even start traveling again. I fully expect to be able to go home to Europe to visit family and have some vacation by the end of the summer.

It’s technically even more complicated than just scaling the day/seconds by to match a Martian sol. There are relativistic corrections that add up over time (Earth clocks would observe Mars clocks ticking at a different and non-constant rate). Good thing this is real :)
