Isn't that what taxes are for?
Average spending isn't very meaningful here because it's just a few people spending a lot - mostly elderly people, which of course has the effect of nobody inheriting anything anymore because it went to hospital bills.

The median person in the US doesn't spend much more on healthcare than the median European and their income is much higher. (Median income in a poor state like Alabama is higher than the UK.)

Plus we have working clothes dryers. Meanwhile in Sweden they're so poor they have to ration the tvättstuga.

Big thanks to all involved. 32c3 for hosting. NYC Resistor for such a great presentation. Always great when others share your obsessions.

Out of the box, ThreeJS has everything needed to get started with Vector Retro GameDev: line primitive drawing, line materials that can be shaded with any glsl function, buffer geometry for arbitrary data complexity, and on and on.

My faves are probably the old school Atari classics from the early 1980s: Tempest and the Death Star Trench Run from Star Wars. So satisfying blasting away down the tunnel ;)
If anyone disagrees, before posting a randomly opposing reply. Do one thing:

Name ONE company that, in the past, say 25 years, chose not to locate their major operations in the US due to our roads, bridges, power lines, government buildings (lighting, construction, whatever) not being adequate. Name just ONE company.

If you do find one --which I very seriously doubt is possible-- explain why it is that they were not able to find adequate infrastructure in any of our 50 states and hundreds of large cities.

After you are done with that bit of futile research, take a look at how many companies are leaving the US and why. Mexico, for example, is costing us somewhere in the order of a million jobs a year.

Why?

Regulatory costs, taxes and, yes, labor costs.

Our minimum wage is $15 per hour. Theirs? About ONE DOLLAR per hour.

If you pay someone in the US $25 per hour you can expect to pay someone in Mexico $3 per hour for the same work.

And we are not even talking about China.

Infrastructure? Really? Like I said, this is demented and, sadly, an exercise in futility.
I was (admittedly poorly) pointing out that the person I was replying to made some effort to share his favourable opinion, which comprises a significant part of the post, while also saying the dissenting ones (mine, Spotify staff) don't matter.

Their logic dictates that none of our opinions matter. That's fine by me; we're squabbling over nothing.
Brave even openly admits this in that blog post announcing their support for native CNAME uncloaking-

> In version 1.25.0, uBlock Origin gained the ability to detect and block CNAME-cloaked requests using Mozilla’s terrific browser.dns API. However, this solution only works in Firefox, as Chromium does not provide the browser.dns API. To some extent, these requests can be blocked using custom DNS servers. However, no browsers have shipped with CNAME-based adblocking protection capabilities available and on by default.

Inherently? Of course not. But in practice it tends to act as a good prior for detecting bullshit. How many of these people would really be making the same argument in this way had the virus appeared in Bonn or Montreal?

And again, to repeat: in this particular situation we have a very acceptable, very convincing, very obvious hypothesis for covid origins that simply does not require trafficking in badly-motivated argument.

At the end of the day there's no strong evidence, we all agree on that. So I choose to believe something obvious that fits the data and patterns previous events, and others... choose to believe that a (literal!) conspiracy is afoot acting to cover up wrongdoing by an evil foreign nation. And that's bad.

That's a better way to put it and that's more what I was getting at.
arbitrary: "based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system."

None of these are by personal whim, there is clearly a process/system in place to determine whether an episode should stay.

unreasonable: "not guided by or based on good sense" and "beyond the limits of acceptability or fairness." Sorry, I just don't see how these decisions could be considered unreasonable. You may disagree with the moral sense of why they are doing this, you may disagree that that is good sense, but that would be best, your opinion, not some empirically correct point of view.
As I speak to someone with a recently created account the irony is palpable but people who are overt trolls or who make a habit of speaking in bad faith are liable to be banned eventually instead of accruing a longer history and karma.

Back in the NE2000 era, I had more problems with thin-net cabling than I did with the cards themselves. It definitely didn't help that the boss had a ton of old 3270 cable lying around and insisted that it was fine for the application. Hello, impedance mismatch.

I really don't miss thin-net.
To be precise, Spotify and other platforms have been cowed into dropping episodes and people because they are afraid of the anonymous histrionics from small mobs. The same goes for every other platform. They directly enable and reward the very people they seem to fear. Do the platforms think these mobs can be appeased, or that they will relent once you satisfy them? They've negotiated with terrorists and compromised everyone else in the process. This is their meekness problem.

Why does it have to be a "we" vs "China" discussion at all? Why don't we think non-politically about it for a minute and recognize that as a global species we have a chance to learn as much as we can from a pandemic that affected us globally so that we can try to do better when the next one inevitably comes along?

And yeah, maybe China doesn't wanna think that way, but let's find out first, and second find out why.

On the other hand there are some great ways to think about this politically. If by "we" you mean the U.S. we don't really have a leg to stand on as far as respect from the international community right now anyway, so any fight we bring to China is basically one on one.

Other countries besides the U.S. would be able to wring significant concessions from China if they chose to a) believe collectively that it was China's malfeasance that caused the pandemic, and b) stood together to demand a response.
And I don't think the three letter agencies are on AWS anyway...
Where do you think taxes come from?
Yes, I can't edit it though. Unfortunately, I got my 50B number from another UN report (http://www.fao.org/economic/est/est-commodities/bananas/bana...) which in retrospect is maybe not the best source when the issue at hand is a different inaccurate UN report. Other sources place it somewhere around 80 to 150 million tons.
I really wish AWS would figure out multiple accounts on one session.

Even with multiple containers, it still means logging into AWS SSO multiple times and selecting the right account.

I found and downloaded Jill of the Jungle, which is a free game that uses dosbox and is available on mac.

By the way, I've never seen them shipping boxer, although I have moved some games to boxer because it is much more in-tune with macos. It's really good if you have midi roms.
> And despite the tens of thousands of people rubbing bat turds in their eyes the first cases come from people living in the middle of a massive city.

Uh... yeah. Because massive cities have, y'know, more people mixing together with more varied activies. It would be very surprising indeed if a new pandemic just happened to pop up in a tiny hamlet in rural Tibet. But cities are absolutely where we expect to see this happen.

Sure. But why is this celebrated?

Today it's seen as almost quaint and cutesy. The history of it all is anything but. The monarchy originally would have gained power like most other cases in world history where someone raised an army and took it by force. That, while not my favourite thing, is legitimate. After parliament became a thing and the monarchy was no longer running the show, what legitimacy does it have? What's the need to keep it? Who would stop anyone getting rid of it? The monarchy themselves aren't in the position to raise an army and conquer the nation again.

What it is today vs. how it originated leave me feeling like there is a big disconnect in how it's viewed. Ask anyone "should we get rid of it?", plenty say no. Ask those same people "should we get rid of parliament then and go back to monastic rule" they will say no. Ok, so you _dont_ like what it used to represent but you like what it represents now? What the heck?
Thanks for posting this - really interesting and valuable in my view.

> The reason you will find extremely few people with actual credentials in the science we're discussing in these discussions is that working scientists don't have the time or will to get into these debates with people who wouldn't have the faintest idea how to actually conduct the research they're criticizing.

We have such a big problem with public perception of science. I think many people are willing to be educated, but internet forums tend to degenerate into arguments between people who think they know a lot more than they do (even in (especially?) places like HN).

Controversial idea: I think in the future we should pay researchers to spend x% of their time just interacting with people on internet forums answering questions and correcting misperceptions. The amount of disinformation out there is staggering.
I thought roles were compensated based on the value they bring to the company and based on the market. Does this change mean that the roles that produce more value are subsiding the other roles?

It seems to me that the people in the 'male dominated' roles should start asking for more money (regards of gender).

I went to try this out, but didn't want to change the proxy settings for my entire browser (I'm interleaving work and screwing off here, need the "real" internet to still work).

So, feature request for Mozilla: Can I specify different proxy/DNS settings per container? All sorts of cool stuff could be enabled if I allowed one container type raw Internet access, and another one restricted through piHole type filtering, or a full on proxy server.

Using the port to specify year is neat. Although there is a Y64ki problem.
> Expectations that other people can perform like you do if they just put their mind to it is so blind to the reality of human experience that it's hard to respond.

I never claimed that was the case. In fact, I specifically cited examples where no amount of hard work could close the gap to top performers.

I wasn't suggesting that everyone can perform equally if they just work hard enough. The point is that attention, focus, and work ethic are not static traits of an individual. Yes, we pivot around certain biological attributes, but that doesn't mean they're fixed.

We all benefit from putting in the work to improve our attention spans and other learned behaviors, regardless of our starting baseline.
This is a much better, less snarky version of my point elsewhere in the thread.

I do think that tech control of discourse is an important thing to watch. I don't yet believe that it's impossible for people with extreme views to find a host; I am right now looking at a Google Podcasts page hosting an unquestionably white supremacist, Holocaust-denying podcast. When I was younger, you had to go find yourself a dingy mimeographed snail mail catalog of books to get a copy of Ragnar Redbeard's book. It's way easier these days.

But yes. Even if you think that the danger of conspiracy theories is such that it warrants restraints on free speech, it is also true that you should be extremely concerned with how those restraints are determined and enforced.

That said, if you're not looking at trends over decades, you are likely to overreact to the short term.
Why can't these assholes post a list of compatible gpu's, why do I have to install this shit to see?
I love FF. It's fantastic on macOS and the customization beats every single other browser out of the water. BUT, and I know this is controversial, and I know the foundation is not the same as those who manage the browser, after the events on the capitol they released and statements saying something like "deplatforming is not enough" and even though I asked several times, I could never get a confirmation from anyone within the Mozilla Foundation assuring me they would never use telemetry data to spy on "undesirables" or that they would never try to block content they deemed harmful.

I get the situation is different, but my parents escaped from two civil wars in Central America in the 70s and the stories they told me about political persecution were scary enough to make me distrust organizations that don't seem to understand nuance when it comes to politics.

While uBlock inside Brave suffers from the same limitations as uBlock within Chrome, the more interesting question is if Brave's native blocking makes that irrelevant or not.

Brave does have a few intriguing privacy features, like plugging WebRTC IP leaks while still allowing use of WebRTC (Firefox is off or on while Safari's always on AFAIK), so that's not excluded.

The main problem with Brave is that they're building on a browser which is designed to leak privacy like a sieve. It seems that they're being careful and monitoring all the anti-features Google's adding, but who knows.
Fascinated/dominated - take your pick.

Apple had an interesting take on discoverability with AU/X and MPW: you could pull up a dialog box with the available options and descriptions. Unlike man pages, you could select the desired options from the dialog box and execute the resulting command. It's not the sort of thing you would want to use often, but it was great for learning how to do things or to refresh one's memory.

Nah. There are plenty of contributors to V8 that are not part of Google. IBM and MIPS and ARM all contributed significantly to specific machine ports, and we had no trouble keeping them abreast of changes and plans. There are several people who have contributed from Igalia as well. And that's just the people I can think of.

It is harder to contribute to V8 than other open source projects. You have to accept a contributor agreement and use the Chromium code review tools. V8 is a big codebase and slow to build, but it's nothing like what you say.
I just finished reading Arnold Schwarzenegger's autobiography and one thing he says frequently is, "reps, reps, reps, reps!". He obviously got his physical gains through many reps but he also says he would never film a stunt scene without rehearsing it at least 10 times.

This made me think of something I read about John Resig. He had created somewhere around 75 open source projects before jQuery. Reps, reps, reps indeed.

My interpretation was that Damore said that forcing 50/50 outcomes is discrimination, and more broadly the claim that all gender disparities are entirely caused by bias is not correct. He laid out specific discriminatory policies (representation OKRs, coaching candidates for interviews but only if they belong to underrepresented demographics) and asked the company to stop.

The depiction of the memo in the media was that he said women weren't as intelligent as men. Even though he explicitly called out that this is not what he was saying, he referred only to innate factors influencing preferences not intelligence.

> An example of equivocation can be as follows: A performer deals two cards on a table and ask a spectator to select one. If the spectator chooses the card on the left, the performer will hand the card to the spectator. If they pick the card on the right, the performer will take that card as his own and have the other card be the spectator's. In either case, the spectator receives the intended card.

Or maybe you're asking more precisely exactly which forcing mechanism would be used, for the trick in TFA?
