To an extent yes, but there are limits:

> OxyContin, introduced in 1995, was Purdue Pharma's breakthrough palliative for chronic pain. Under a marketing strategy that Arthur Sackler had pioneered decades earlier, the company aggressively pressed doctors to prescribe the drug, wooing them with free trips to pain-management seminars and paid speaking engagements. Sales soared.[26] The drug was marketed as "smooth and sustained pain control all day and all night" when taken on a 12-hour schedule and as having lower abuse potential than immediate-release oxycodone because of its time-release properties, even though there was no scientific evidence backing that conclusion and the addictive nature of opiates had been known for thousands of years.

> In August 2019, Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family were in negotiations to settle the claims for a payment of $10-$12 billion. [55] The settlement would include a Chapter 11 filing by Purdue Pharma, which would be restructured as public beneficiary trust and the Sackler Family would give up any ownership in the company. Addiction treatment drugs currently developed by the company would be given to the public cost-free. All profits of Purdue would henceforth go to the plaintiffs in the case. On top of that, the Sackler family would contribute $3 billion in cash. The family would also sell Mundipharma and contribute another $1.5 billion from the sales proceeds to the settlement. However, the Sackler family would remain a billionaire family and would not be criminally charged for contributing to the opioid crisis.

What does "github.com/godbus/dbus/v5" mean in a golang import? I've only ever seen the standard github.com/user/repo. I'm not sure what the v5 means. There is no branch/tag called "v5" in that repo, but there is one called v5.0.

Later in the code there is a line like

conn, err := dbus.SystemBus()

but how does golang it know it's referring to the dbus package if there's a v5 at the end? I thought it infers the name from the last part of the URL if it's not prefixed with an alias.

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

I suppose they detecting that you're using a VPN and equate that fact with you being a non-UK user.

The same databases that allow you to resolve geoip location typically also would get you ASN for free and then you can try to filter out obvious non-residential IP blocks. Just looking for M247 alone (major bulletproof hoster frequently used by VPN companies) would probably detect at least half of all commercial VPN IPs including most of Nordvpn's.

Naloxone isn't orally active, so it isn't actually inhibiting anything for people who aren't abusing it. The opioid blocking effect comes from buprenorphine itself, as it is a partial agonist with a high binding affinity. It binds preferentially to the mu-opioid receptor compared to many opioids, and as a partial agonist, it has a weaker effect than some other opioids.

Strange to have non-researchers or non-mathematicians like Lewis Carrol, Ada Lovelace, or Anna Easly included while world-impacting researchers such as Shigefumi Mori, S.T. Yau, Yuri Manin, Stefan Banach, Simon Donaldson, R. Bott, M. Morse, H. Lebesgue, O. Heaviside, J. Leray, J. Tate, E. Calabi, M. Gromov, <strike>G. Perelman</strike>, F. Adams, H. Kunneth, are left out. Where are they getting their lists of people? It seems they classify anyone famous who was "technical" as a mathematician, which is the only reason why I can think of including people like Einstein, Lewis Carroll, or Ada Lovelace (none of whom made any contribution to math) as mathematicians, but leaving out those who made major advances.

Why is it abhorrent? FLoC doesn't compromise your privacy. It does interest inference client-side, away from bigcorp servers. It doesn't leak any information about you. But all the "privacy" people are totally against it anyway.

Why? Because they just hate advertising. The whole "third party cookies are bad" thing has always been a sham: it was never about privacy. It's always been about killing advertising itself.
This is a tautological definition of altruism that, if accepted, renders a useful concept meaningless. To be clear: I am not saying your attitude is wrong, I am saying it is useless.

i figure that alone was worth more than the entirety of all my 'carbon footprint' actions (or non-actions) over the previous 30 years - riding a bike, etc. imo.

the whole idea of 'individual actions' -- personal consumer choices -- like not driving and recycling -- contributing to a solution, is bogus, imo.

i get that the idea that individual actions are near-meaningless is not necessarily fun to think about, but...

my guess is greta, and all serious scientists, would agree.

we need 'actions' that get us to a carbon tax and other measures that will address the issue with the seriousness required.

Doubt it. I've worked for a SAAS company in the past that practices the incentivized review behaviour. Genuine (organic) reviews were indistinguishable from incentivized reviews. Poor reviews, which are the most valuable for this type of research, were always removed.
This question is just a call to personal worldview, so happy to agree to disagree.

I hope people are keen to weed out all corruption even though sometimes it is not possible but I think we should try.

If you go to the doctor and their “remedy” might cost you $100,000 in lost time chasing the wrong cure so they can make an extra $50 that day I’d say something smells off.

But again pure worldview. Some people would say it’s up to the individual to gain the knowledge of the doctor (could be via a proxy eg a friend) and let the free market decide. And that’s fine that’s probably how we lived before large governments existed.
Can you think of an example where there isn't an associated industry that would be able to serve ads?

My questions about FLoC are who controls the definitions of cohorts? Is it possible for someone to take advantage of cohort information in a way which leaves Google completely out of the loop? Do users (and system administrators) have any control over what cohort information is saved or transmitted by the browser? If they do have control over it, is it enforceable? (e.g. The DNT header is useless because services are not compelled to obey the request.)
Fair criticism of my phrasing, but at the same time you can't put day traders, HFT, or most hedge fund strategies in the same bucket as Berkshire Hathaway. There is a distinct difference in time horizons behind the strategies.
You're going to drive yourself crazy if you try to make sense of "privacy"-advocate objections on an object level. It's not actually about privacy. No matter how much FLoC or something FLoC-like preserves your actual privacy, advocates will be against it. That's because they don't actually care about privacy and have always used concerns about "privacy" as a pretext for killing ads.
* Brave is derivative software. In case of security issues, there might be some lag from when the issue is fixed in Chrome to when it'll be fixed in Brave.

* Brave adds custom code that generally has less eyes on it.

* The business model is potentially problematic. Which can lead to incidents such as this one: [1]

* I don't know how good are Brave's security development and operational practices.

* Trust is something that is built over time. Brave hasn't been around so long, so doesn't have an established security track record.

At face value, this sounds ridiculous. When I buy any device, what I am looking for is "available over LAN" and "HTTP API documented". It's either entirely documented and lovely, like Hue and LIFX. Or difficult and third-party like Nanoleaf. Or it's ridiculously impossible with deliberate Chinese cryptographic blockage and "Identity verification" at every turn, like Tuya. I'm happy to add a plugin or reverse-engineer an API if I need to. The latter I scorn at every turn. And my plugins are used by thousands of people every day, so hopefully the tide will turn.

Postfix is incredibly intuitive. It's much simpler to read than alternatives. Your proposal is wrong.
What makes it hard to believe in its mathematical significance is how slipshod the scratches are; and the object's physical usefulness.

I expect a thing meant for arithmetical precision to be itself precise -- not perfectly, but moreso than a random object scratched for other reasons. Also, that it was a tool makes the scratches seem much more likely to have been intended to maximize usefulness of the tool.

That said, when Comock and his family returned from their island to mainland north Hudson Bay peninsula after ten years, Comock's wife had kept a tally of months on a tool she had carried and kept through many privations. So, it's possible, if it was a tool important to someone.

I can have up to about a dozen on one screen at a time in i3. Granted it's a 1440p ultrawide and some are stacked behind one another. This is of course also a rare occurrence, which indicates I'm trying to work on too much at once.

Usually it's more like 4-8 (4 columns, with columns spot one up one down) depends on what I'm working on at the time but usually at the lower wned of that range.

I'm a DevOps type so it's usually Terraform which could be a mix of working on a module and "main" TF codebase.

One nice thing about my setup is that it gives me 4 side by side 80char wide terminals/vim instances.

Right, but at what point does some of the burden of making a website accessible fall on the screen reader application used by those with disabilities? Like, if there's nothing technically preventing the screen reader from reading the website, it's just that the site does not do things the way the screen reader wants them to, why does the onus fall on the site owner?

If nothing else, it was deliberately ignored. The customer contacted support last year via email, then in February, and again in April. Then we get to reviews (left by different users) for both the iOS and Android apps, stating this is a problem. Fortunately, the devs commented on the feedback! They replied with "Thank you so much for your suggestion, [name], feedback from users like you help us!"

Note none of this is implies they're working on it, just that they acknowledge the issue; which, to me, is absolutely incredible.

I'll give my opinion as someone who holds several patents, has filed for protection internationally under the PCT, and whose business is based on proprietary technology as well:

The entire system is useless and should be abolished.

1) You can get nonsense patented if you are patient enough and keep going back to the patent offices over and over. The people who are reviewing the patents aren't in any way expert enough in the subject matter to meaningfully judge whether something is new. They should just as well issue everything that comes in the door because they aren't a meaningful block to the issuance of garbage patents. When they send back objections they are usually non-sequiturs (>90% of the time)

2) "Holding the patent gives you the right to exclude". This is useless for a small fry anyway because patent litigation is so costly that unless you are in a huge industry it will never be worth it go to court anyway.

3) The patent doesn't meaningfully put any real ideas into the public domain. The info in the patent itself is the tiniest fraction of what you'd need to know to make a working product. The useful stuff is the trade secrets and know-how. I could see this being not the case in a few select fields like biotech.

4) The system is a net drain on the economy. Big corps have to keep filing their nonsense patents to protect themselves from each other. None of these filings are adding value.

Funders like to see patents. But I think this is because they don't appreciate the weaknesses of the system.
The only issue I take with this article is their seemingly blase take on the risky investing behavior of Gen Z. Sure, if that's the lay of the land then use it to your advantage. But it seems a bit predatory.

Risky activities tend to hurt more investors than they help, and lead to a small number of big winners and many losers. You can't just increase risk and increase reward for everyone.

Regarding the predicament Gen Z is in, just remember that the older generations - one of which is very large - will need to sell their assets at some point. I know it's hard to hear, "Be patient" when you are young and have already been patient, but demographics is working against asset values in the next twenty years or so.
> 1) that's not what this study calculated.

I know that.

> 2) They weren't trying to say anything about catching the virus. I understand that you really want to use this paper to make the claim, but it's just not relevant.

I know that, and I wasn't talking about catching, I was talking about the risk of death if you catch it.

> The equivalent study would be "of young people hospitalized with ebola, what percentage of them die?" (and BTW, the answer would be: "a huge percentage of them"...unlike Covid.)

> It does tell you that if you're young and not obese, not diabetic and don't have heart disease, you are overwhelmingly likely not to die from it.

I'm not sure what your definition of "overwhelming" is so I'll put it this way:

Of young people hospitalized, the percentage chance of death is still pretty high. The numbers you quoted were 10 percent! I'm pretty sure you quoted wrong and the real number is 3 percent, but that's still a very real chance of death that you should try very strongly to avoid.

The original quote was "Young healthy people have never been at risk."

Your amended version was "the risk is quite small indeed".

Neither of those fits a 3 percent death rate, even after taking into account the risk factors and focusing on patients without them. That chance of death is something that might be acceptable once or twice in your entire life after great consideration.

The only way to get a "small" risk here is to factor in a sufficient number of people that catch it but never end up in the hospital at all (if there are enough of them). Going purely by the hospital numbers it's not something to brush off at all.

I didn't bother to explain that part because I didn't think you were actually suggesting that 343 out of 3222 is quite low risk! I assumed you were talking about a different number.
The derivation that in total the passives outperform the actives is not a statistical result from historical data and doesn't require efficient market assumptions at all. It's just basic arithmetic that holds over any time period that the passives as a group will have the same returns as the actives as a group but spend less on fees. Sharpe's webpage on that gives a simple rundown of the calculations:

https://web.stanford.edu/~wfsharpe/art/active/active.htm

That doesn't mean there haven't been long-running active strategies that have worked. But those have overperformed by grabbing returns from other actives underperforming, not the passives.
They are nobody's choice of provider. They are the provider you use if you are poor or cheap. That means they don't need to compete, including on security.
Brilliantly put.

And I think the same goes for talent development, too. Career ladders, carelessly applied, incentivize everyone to do all the same things to check the boxes for the next level. This can lead to a lot of mediocre impact.

I would suggest that we really want is well rounded teams, where individuals are playing to their strengths. It takes a more nuanced approach to evaluation, because not everyone is doing the same things in the same way.
I know that we don't like her here but Ayn Rand had another explanation to that which seems plausible as well - that both are extreme manifestations of the same concept - collectivism.

As someone else notices above, both Far Right and Far Left have quite a bit of disregard to personal freedoms so Ayn Rand may be onto something here...
Guilty. I had no idea Kanban was about this. At my place it's a virtual board and you pick things off the top right (highest priority work needing review) and move left (bottom left is lowest priority work not yet started).
Correct. What they are selling you is an asset allocation, this turns on it's head all the innovation since the early 90s...and the performance you likely get will be indistinguishable from what most people could achieve on their own.

One of the big advantages that savers have today are open platforms (there was a time when fund managers ran their own platforms), low dealing costs, low spreads, and ETFs. All that investors need to do is just work out the asset allocation themselves and they will save huge amounts. And I would guess 95% of people reading this are able to do it.

Just to be clear, we are looking for a least bad situation. Asset allocation is very complex, there is no way most investors can get an amazing result themselves but what most investors don't know is that WealthFront have zero chance too. So the aim is to equal what they do without their mad fees (I have no idea how they charge so much, marketing? I don't know, I know small advisers that were profitable charging lower fees...it makes no sense).
