Yeah, never in my lifetime. I remember a college prof in the late nineties telling me she though Reagan was the worst president in the country’s history. I remember thinking at the time, “jeez, that’s a bit much for a variety of reasons”. At the time though there was as much vitriol against Clinton.

I guess a difference may have been that legislators weren’t as accountable in the same way as they are today, and had more room to negotiate and engage in generalized reciprocity.

Today, politics has a very distasteful air of religious zealotry, where “sinning” against the orthodoxy of the true believers on both sides is shamed, purity idolized. So everyone is fighting tooth and nail for the barest majorities and procedural tricks to let them manifest their will with nothing more than that.

On one hand I find the accountability good, but on the other I wish as a nation we cared less about “national conversations” and thought/acted more locally. National solutions are rarely a well-suited or efficient fit, so in a way, the harder it is for party zealots of either side to enforce their will across fifty different states, the better, IMO. The threat that either side will be successful is what keeps everyone overly-anxious and hyper-engaged/enraged. In a way, having confidence in the inefficiency is good medicine.

Prior to 2013, it was commonly cited as having happened about 65 million years ago, but Renne and colleagues (2013) gave an updated value of 66 million years.

My first thought reading this is, here they are casually adjusting the date by 1,000,000 years, and meanwhile homo sapiens is 200,000-300,000 years old. Helps illustrates the timescales a little.
That isn't a very good argument. You might as well ask why do people invest in ETF's and mutual funds. The answer is because they view them as assets that will increase in value.
The real problem with this is federal preemption. What happens at the federal level isn't just that they don't do anything good, it's that they actively do something bad or ineffective, but in so doing wade into the swamp and throw out the ability of the states to do anything better because of preemption.

Which implies that the problem is still that it's too easy to do things at the federal level. Let them actually do nothing so the states can do something.
You will like this presentation by Jonathan Blow [1], I feel the same. I am in grad school, but since my bachelor, I felt more like a craftsman than a student, I always spend more time in order to make my code 'look' beautiful to me, and be performant. I would like to work somewhere that puts emphasis on writing good software instead of chasing feature after feature. Speaking of which, speed is an oft ignored feature [2]. It is really frustrating to have sluggish apps and I often end up avoiding them altogether.

There's a global pandemic on. Lots of people are cranky as all hell because they are out of work (or working from home, etc), have hardly left their house for months, relatives have died and they live in fear for their lives and so forth.

Lots of random BS on the internet is getting lots of hatred because the entire world has a metric fuckton of stress on its plate and access to a global platform called "social media" with which to try to vent about it as the only thing they know how to do to get through the damn day.
Yep! but the dates are suspicious. There is no record of this happening anywhere before April 1st.

Youtube, SSL, domain, everything. April first. Also, humorously hosted on google.
This might be out of date, but this is my usual go-to for ideas or chances of actions regarding climate change.(http://worrydream.com/ClimateChange/)
But not everyone's time is valued equally by the market. Yet commercial software has the same price regardless. So yes a lot of time it is more economical to pay in time than money.

The change is that in the last 10 years all of that information has gone online. The creeps love all of that information. It has also lead to people trying to escape things be haunted by it. I know a guy that moved from CA to ID to escape someone trying to murder him. He said he's seen the guy's car drive by his new place...

A drunk driver hit my car a few months ago. He got out of his car and denied the whole thing. Tons of witnesses backing me up. He was fucking scary. I'm just some dude that pulled waaaay off the road to avoid getting hit and now I have to be scared of him coming after me because my insurance is going after him.

I'm sorry you still live in the bubble but revenge murders happen all the time. And 1/3 of all murders are totally unsolved.

There are other records that are abused too. Manta - my favorite company to hate. This place had the habit years ago to purposefully mess up your "public" business listing. Wrong address, misspelled addresses, wrong phone number. It was on purpose because I was able to look at (at the time) all of the unverified businesses and compare it to Google's data. Every single Manta listing that wasn't claimed had a small mistake. Their goal was to take public info and mess it up a bit so that business owners would be frustrated enough to claim it and fix it. I really think we made a huge mistake making public records easily re-publishable online. I just think that each record needs to have a transaction associated with it.
Ah ok, I thought Letsencrypt was the only available auto-issuing CA on Google Cloud but that must have changed with GKE. The 1e100 address is probably pointed at a gke load balancer then.
Just to add to the post-viral syndrome chorus, this happened to me when I was 20. I caught what seemed like a pretty normal flu, but it eventually morphed into bronchitis and then pneumonia because I was an idiot who thought he was immortal and continued going out clubbing and staying out late with friends and it was four months before I finally saw a doctor and took the advice to rest and get blasted with high dose antibiotics.

I was down for about two additional months after that, in which I caught another flu twice, and could barely get out of bed for a while. And then I proceeded to have complications from colds and flus that evolved to bronchitis or pneumonia every single flu season for the next 8 years.

It took nearly a decade to really recover from that. I see no reason to think any sufficiently bad respiratory infection with high enough viral load wouldn't do the same thing, especially to people much less healthy than 20 year-old me, a two-time state champion cross country runner in high school.
The parent describes how to do this with tmux right out of the box -- you don't need anything in your config to get this to work. Did you start tmux? If you haven't set up iTerm to connect to a tmux session by default, any new tabs/splits you make won't be running it. You should be able to tell by the presence of the status bar at the bottom.

Not in the PC market that's for sure. I tried Mac and Linux few times for work and I always found Windows to be far better, at least as a desktop/laptop OS.
Consensus by humans doesn’t mean that it’s fact. By presenting the asteroid theory as fact is doing a disservice to science. It should be taught as a theory with pretty good evidence. I personally think this is the most plausible explanation but it’s when people call it fact or near-fact it makes me bristle.

It creates massive groupthink and stifles discussion on the topic which is worse, because it becomes politicized especially in this day and age.
False dilemma. This doesn't require a long standing conspiracy (or one at all), just a willingness to benefit big business, which generally doesn't favor the citizenry.
"They run their own OS and can stay on independent of the rest of the hardware consuming very little power."

It's worse - there's a second, independent computer inside your phone that you have no control over: the SIM card.

The SIM is a standalone computer with its own processor and memory which your carrier can communicate with and upload programs to run on it without your knowledge ("OTA updates", etc.)

"Universal" means just that. This isn't universal, nobody should be calling this UBI.
I think there's a lot of potential for tools like this that live on either side of the spreadsheet, i.e. that build on top of spreadsheets to provide more functionality, or that create more powerful ways of creating spreadsheets like the tool described in the article. For example GRID(https://grid.is) also works with existing spreadsheet software instead of asking people to learn a new tool in order to become more productive. It is essentially a presentation layer on top of spreadsheets, allowing the user to create custom web apps by using a proprietary, browser-based spreadsheet engine to run all of the spreadsheet computation on the fly.
Full disclosure, I am closely affiliated with people that work there.
There's a distinction between technology level and time disposition, I think.

Compared to a self-sufficient small-scale agrarian society (say, 10th century Europe), what would have caused famine in their time would not for us.

At the same time, we allocate our time differently than they did -- few of us actually farm for ourselves.

If we allocated time more similarly + applied current technology, it'd be pretty hard for people to starve (between improved long term food storage, GMO crop yields, and environment mitigation).

Side note: the always educational Bret Devereaux lays out a solid argument for why famines were the result of an underdeveloped monetary and trade system, that led to fragile choices being optimal for individual farmers. [0]

I had forgotten about that scene.

I wonder if the authors of The Expanse were consciously or unconsciously riffing on that. Writing truly original stuff is hard.
Some options trading is gambling. Not all. Options can be a very useful tool to increase revenue and reduce risk in a portfolio.
Same story for many businesses shipping from Japan at the moment. Japan Post has shut down most of the usual avenues for shipping overseas from Japan, leaving only cost prohibitive international courier and freight forwarding options available.
The VHS tracking is what makes me suspicious (and of course the date, the lack of any mention of it at all)

If you've waited for 25 years to announce something, you're going to get video captured correctly.

> There’s the KOMO News footage, which some of us still have on a dusty VHS tape

Does anyone from Seatle recognise the two KOMO reporters?

If the footage is a deep fake over real footage from that time, I'm very very impressed. I suspect that the audio is fake, sort of matches up with the real recording, and the box is digitally replaced.
If crypto crashes or stabilized, Coinbase is still (for the time being) making monster spreads/fees on trades.

A basket of the top coins also includes garbage like ADA and XRP. Crypto is not the place to market weight IMO given the frequent disconnect between price and quality of projects.
Sony has a responsibility to preserve its gaming history – Opinion
These days, Microsoft seems more like IBM: They have a good business supporting stuff they've already done, and have, if anything, a negative incentive to rock the boat by doing anything new. It's the white dwarf phase of a company: Their innovative "hydrogen fusion" gone, they coast for some indeterminate amount of time on their own internal heat.
And yet, the number of otherwise informed, intelligent people I've talked to who believe that the frequently-used image of the Covid virus is an actual picture is astonishing.
Note that the first two are regulations designed to encourage competition and enforce a clear separation between industries. The last one is the rectification of an externality.

Perhaps this suggests a useful principal for government regulation: regulations that promote competition and divestiture, or that force companies to bear the true costs of their actions, are good. Regulations meant to mandate a specific way of doing things are bad, and should instead be structured so that they incentivize entrepreneurs to find the best way of doing things and allow them to bring it to market.

Regulate market structure, not markets.
If negative doesn't make sense then you are saving one bit using this method, but introducing a ton of fun footguns involving things like conversions. Further, the compiler cannot assume no overflowing and must now do extra work to handle those cases in conforming fashion, even if your value width doesn't match the CPU width. This can make your code slower!
They were expensive coasters back then too! When I was in high school, I spent like $30 (was a ton of money to me back then) on blank CDs (like a 10 pack) only to have them all stolen out of my locker. No idea what the thief would have done with them, as CD burners were not common at all.
I don't agree at all. The rise of ICOs and crowd funding provide a strong counterexample. Ideally the best startups would be funded by revenue and bank loans.

The idea of value-added investors is pretty silly IMO. On one side, you add value to your team not by investing but by hiring. On the other side, you never want to have to rely on investment and with interest rates as low as they are, loans would almost always be preferable over equity dilution.

Usually the most significant value an investor can add is by making a raise as fast and painless as possible so the founders can get back to building their business. "Smart money" and "value-added" seem like concepts invented by investors to get equity at a better price. Founders should desire to spend as little time possible networking with investors and the maximum time focused on building products, engaging with customers and networking within the industry.

> It isn't over until it's over. However, COVID and the response governments around the world made it's clear they are NOT treating climate like an emergency.

How does the COVID response have anything to do with the climate response? The governments of the world have all responded differently -- some quite stringently -- and the speed with which we produced an mRNA vaccine (itself a technological marvel) is truly nuts.

>The issue with climate are feedback loops which cause non-linear responses. These are dangerous because they have a tendency to sneak up on you. We are being way too conservative in our climate response and the uncertainty around the future should not make us feel better.

It is true that feedback loops are dangerous, but what do you mean by "sneaking up" on us? There's always uncertainty in modeling and projections of any kind, but the most agreed-upon climate models and projected scenarios include feedback loops.

> I believe Michael Mann is wrong that scary headlines prevent action. Look at Greta and the youth climate movement and XR. It exploded BECAUSE of the dread and anxiety. Yes, it's true people on the sidelines might get scared away, but you only need a small group of REALLY committed actors to make real change. Those on the sidelines will come along after the fact.

Well, maybe. Everyone is different, so perhaps some people will be spurned to act by these sorts of headlines. A majority of people in the US agree that climate change is a problem that needs to be addressed, so hopefully we will see more and more political pressure in the future.
> These are all important steps to keeping Clubhouse interesting and thriving.

This is David vs 6 Goliaths with hundreds of millions of users each.

The competitors have caught up extremely quickly, already have an existing Android app audience and yet Clubhouse for Android still doesn't exist and the iOS app is still invite only. And now they are thinking of subscriptions? What a way to already turn off the Android users before even thinking about them.

Given they are still being copied to death, we'll see what happens when every social network essentially has Clubhouse-like features.

Hopefully by then, Clubhouse for Android should be here this month. Have to be sure of this this time right? But then again, users do not like waiting for invites and will try the next best thing. :)

Also, VS Code went from zero to > 50% market share, and Azure, Teams, etc are growing fast. GitHub is adding MS ecosystem integrations at a rapid pace.

Agreed, but they don't need to be malicious to be tyrannical in their impact!
Article: We found 22 white and well-formed calcite crystals brought to the site 105,000 years ago. We determined this using a method called "optically stimulated luminescence", which dates sediments the crystals were excavated from. Our analysis indicates the crystals were not introduced into the deposits via natural processes, but rather represent a small cache of deliberately collected objects.

Nice! seems very practical, is there a plan to detach the language from the runtime? It seems like a validation library that one should be able to embed.

TBH the idea that humans learn anything on a blank slate pure learning architecture is messed up. Our brains are literally evolved to interpret causality into the world. It isn't randomly just "learned" any more than walking is.
The problem isn't the lack of multiple realities for counterfactual testing - it's that the idea that there's a basic root cause for any particular outcome is ill-founded.

The basic idea of 'look beyond immediate causes' is reasonable, but the cult of the root cause analysis is a bit out of control.
I see it as a kind of trade-off. Good GUI apps do make it much easier for commands to be discoverable to new users of that application. What they sacrifice is generally smooth and rapid keyboard control and more sophisticated composable commands. To make use of that, you pretty much have to be a power user and spend a lot of time drilling keyboard commands and how they can chain together into your head. Once you do that though, you can do a ton of advanced things really fast while hardly even thinking about it.

It's a bit situation- and role-dependent. Roles closer to the hardware/drones themselves invariably require some onsite work. But our backend and frontend roles are eligible for partial or full remote work on a role-by-role basis.

Perhaps those freqs allow more compact beamforming? Putting aside that I'm not privy to those companies' research I would bet on LoRa (or another sub-GHz low power modulation technique) coupled with crypto coprocessors. Super low-cost (crypto chip being the majority of the BOM), very long range (over 10km in open ares), highly secure. One downside would be low bitrate (.3 ~ 30kbits/s). With a worst case of maximum range and spread factor, even 37 bytes should be enough to trade unique signatures
But "unsigned" doesn't actually enforce the semantics you want. Missing an overflow check means your value will never be negative, but it is almost certainly still a bug. And because unsigned overflow is defined, the compiler isn't allowed to prevent you from doing it!

This is just enough type semantics to injure oneself.
Why I Moved from Xamarin Forms to Flutter?
Not Tmux, but one of my favourite things about iTerm2 is the search/copy functionality from the keyboard. I often find myself reaching for it, for example

git log - see a commitish I want to fixup
cmd-f type first few letters
hit tab to get to the end of the commitish
cmd-c
esc
cmd-v to paste it

The other great thing is when you have cmd-f going and there are multiple hits in your terminal, hitting enter cycles you through them backwards.
Our team loves using SandyLane.io - it’s a marketplace to hire freelance low code devs. Should fit your need since most of their users are non-developer teams who want to use the end product directly rather than having to loop in devs.
Do you have plans for any of those features, or is it complete for the use cases it is solving?
The problem is not convenience, the problem is the way capitalism treats labor: as just another commodity. Free markets drive the cost of all commodities down to the marginal cost of production, and the marginal cost of keeping a human being alive is pretty low. Which is great if you buying, not so much if you're selling.
