The point is Israel is not threatening Iran. The nakba has zilch to do with Iran, prior to the Ayatollahs (and even briefly at the start of their reign) there was no enmity.

And world peace is certainly not the goal of the current Iranian regime. It is borderline willful ignorance to suggest that.

> It's unclear to me what you mean by the "culture" of Iran? Do you mean their political religiosity? I don't find that a convincing source of differentiation between them and other countries in the region. Israeli Zionism, Saudi Wahabbism, etc.

Why flaunt your ignorance?

Certainly without equivocating to whatever your beliefs might be or getting bogged down in metaphysics and moralities or saying one is somehow better than the other, if you want to understand the geopolitics you need to be able to differentiate between them.

Pakistan, India, and China have all had nukes for decades, and are all mortal enemies, and there've even been multiple border skirmishes between pairs, without it ever escalating to open war, let alone nukes.

No matter how belligerent Iran seems, it's not obvious that their possession of nuclear weapons decreases stability in the region; arguably, with Israel being the other nuclear power in the region, it increases stability by creating a MAD circumstance, where before Israel felt safe taking unilateral military action, protected by its nuclear umbrella.

Olaf Stapledon’s Last and First Men http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0486219623/donhosek presents one possible future history on this kind of time scale. It is very much a product of the 1930s though, with rather disturbing racism, sexism and the kind of casual anti-Semitism that the rise of Hitler made impossible. Once he gets away from contemporary times, though, that tends to fade away and it’s very much a memorable book.
I don't think that's true at all. For example in Japan most suicides are by older men who become single. It's not like they suddenly develop a mental illness.
I opened one of the MIDI files on my Android phone just now, and a little player with YouTube Music logo popped up and played the thing.

I can see having the virtual tours as a first pass to avoid needing to drive over, but they can't replace a physical tour at all. There's no sense of scale or size in the virtual tour, as images on a screen feel much different than being somewhere. You can't tell if the house smells of mildew. You can't have stand in the kitchen while somebody walks upstairs to see how much sound carries through the floorboards.

Note that the tetanus vaccine actually targets the toxin itself, not the bacteria that produces the toxin: https://www.who.int/biologicals/vaccines/tetanus/en/

Anyway, it's a myth that you can't develop antibodies to tetanus/tetanus toxin naturally. Lots of studies have found otherwise, finding tetanus antibodies in both humans and animals that haven't been vaccinated: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1092755/

It's just not a very relevant fact, as tetanus is deadly, and the tetanus vaccine is cheap and works well. In fact, there's evidence the vaccine works even better than we thought, and booster shots may not be needed: https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/72/2/285/5741633

Huh. I’d expected to see ray tracing-based foveated rendering in this article. I’m guessing they started their company assuming rasterization was the only option, and doing slightly different warps to end up with something vaguely fovea-like.

The Wikipedia article [1] is a little light on references (there’s been fovea rendering work for decades), but at least has pointers to the modern work by NVIDIA and Oculus.

It applies to both. Being scared of one's sister dying has a definite cause you can pinpoint to, but that still doesn't explain the racing heart, or stomach sickness, or anything else. There's no "tiger in the bushes" reason why your body needs to dump a whole bunch of adrenaline in you right now.

Learning that you can calm your body down separately from wanting to think about the actual issue at hand is a good lesson.
Those three are "bike simulators". The thing about a device that simulates being on a bike, cycling through the outdoors, is that anyone who remotely has any interest in that can buy a bike and go cycling through the outdoors.

If playpulse does this right, then the goal is to engage the mind in playing games, and have the mind engage the body in achieving results. Disclosure: I was involved with the Exertris bike [1].

A quarterback's mind isn't thinking about doing a tricep extension, they are thinking about throwing the ball to a receiver. A receiver isn't thinking about doing a 100 yard sprint, they are thinking about avoiding getting tackled and scoring. Likewise, when we engage the mind in games where pedaling affects the game, e.g you go faster, or your weapons charge faster, then people workout harder and longer because their brain is playing the game, not thinking about pushing pedals.

Even Peloton is just being shouted at to push pedals harder: keeping the mind utterly aware of doing the thing that sucks. Playpulse is having someone capture your flag, and you chasing after them.

The market is people who know they should do cardio, but hate it. I was actually talking about this very subject with my Physio today, saying how I wished I had one of our old bikes.

It’s cost benefit analysis. Anthropogenic Climate Change will make the world more expensive in the future by reducing agricultural output, submerging major cities, and causing large migrations of people. Putting carbon in the atmosphere for economic growth was like borrowing money at a high interest rate and now that interest is coming due. Do we pay down the principal today or pay the interest later? What will happen, like any debt society accrues, is that the children will pay for the debt their parents decided to create.

I do not agree with wanting to pay before a solution if I don’t know what it is because the US has enough government corruption to dissuade me from wanting to contribute to a “general fund” at the mercy of elected officials and bureaucrats. I don’t care what politicians think. Politicians always find ways to pay for things they want regardless of funding sources (ex: Iraq War) and they do not want to act on climate.

Politicians are supposed to be “leaders” they should act like “leaders”, if they are not leading, they will never listen to you. For a political answer, best thing citizens can do in a democracy is stop electing incumbents and start electing people who take climate seriously.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I'm not trying to say that their concerns are invalid. They very much are valid.

I don't think you can win by just having a better app. Marketing plays a big role. So something like Signal is going to be a major underdog because OSS and freeware don't have the same cashflow to do marketing. What I'm trying to say is that we need to be that marketing. Talking about data and privacy _is_ that marketing.

Exactly. Valve leads the way on non invasive anti cheat. These scummy anti cheat devs are not people I want with keys to my computer.

This is rather fascinating. I am shocked that such a relatively simple rendering tweak hasn't been widely used in games and movies to date.

I'm guessing that the math is not describable using a transformation matrix. It might have been too heavy for very old graphics hardware, but any GPU from the last 15 years should be able to do this kind of thing no problem.

I absolutely abhor 16:9 on laptops, one of the reasons why I'm using a macbook air is for the excellent 16:10 screen. If you go shopping for ordinary PC laptops in the $1000-1300 (USD) price range at a place like Best Buy and take a look at the quality of the LCDs, it's amazing how many absolutely shit 16:9 1920x1080 displays are being sold on machines at the same price as the macbook air's higher-dpi retina display.

16:9 on a desktop seems to be unavoidable these days, and indeed there's the whole popular trend of ultrawide/ultrawide-and-curved monitors now which go way beyond that.
Just my personal impression based on things like the Wired coverage.
It's not clear to me that the J&J vaccine's supply is large or critical enough that it's going to make that much of a difference (yet). If the supplies of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are such that most people with J&J appointments can just get one of the others instead, that's really not that big a deal.

Walk-ins might be affected, though, but I'm not sure what percentage of the total daily vaccinations are walk-ins vs. appointments.

And as a sibling mentions, the general risk of dying from COVID-19 is not 150 in 6M, because the probability of getting (symptomatic) COVID-19 needs to be factored into that figure. I would not be surprised that if that probability drops to under 1 in 6M after accounting for that, though of course the symptomatic infection risk differs based on demographics.

One thing that I am worried about, though, is that this might make people trust all the vaccines less in general. My girlfriend and I had J&J appointments for this Friday; fortunately we were able to get a walk-in Moderna shot today, but the issues with the J&J vaccine did give her a little anxiety even about the Moderna vaccine. I think that (and worse) might be pretty common, and isn't unreasonable.

I find this interesting, because I feel every time I visit a Silicon Valley tech company’s office, I’m surprised by how diverse the employees working there are. Yes I know certain groups are still more represented than others.

But it’s still more diverse in contrast to the companies I’ve worked at (non-tech old school companies in finance, etc), where the tech employees tend to fall into a much narrower stereotype.
They seem to be more predictable and reasonable than the North Korea regime. It might make things more peaceful in the middle east, since their foe now knows they have the bomb.

>"We put up with slow, bloated, and inadequate software because blah blah blah" - no, we put up with it because the market doesn't care about it.

Yep. Company culture / psychology is also a factor. You can hire a bunch of amazing programmers who deeply care about speed and elegance but unless business pressures exist to incentivize those things and also the company's process and management are set up to encourage those things, it will not matter. A developer can care about speed and elegance, but if his bosses want him to use bloated frameworks because "everybody uses them" and it is easy to find developers for them, or if the feature requirements keep shifting, or if his bosses want him to spend time writing some pointless tests because of supposed "best practices", or if any of a bunch of other factors are at play, it will not matter much.

So I am not sure that a shortage of developers who are competent at those things is the real bottleneck.
A good story, and a good lesson! Thanks for sharing
It's clearly unreasonable for a developer to ask a bug reporter to cite a usability study out of the blue.

However, I don't think it's unreasonable for a developer to do so if the person commenting explicitly claims that not having a feature hurts usability:

Good start, but ideally networks should also be required to provide originator info (number, network, country of origin, as many hops as available basically) to cell phones, regardless of whether a call is blocked or has a different number set as caller id.

So not only would the networks be blocking spam, end-users could then block whatever calls they want. Don't wanna get calls from any VOIP numbers or anyone out of your country? You can block them and chill out.

Writing applications (web apps, jobs, desktop apps, occasionally something worse) that basically act like a front end to a database. By that I don’t mean frontend as in the frontend web stack but the backend is mostly just a series of API endpoints or screens that call an associated database procedure. Often times there’s some light massaging or transforming of the data to be more presentable. Usually with mildly legacy technology (think older .NET, Java, jQuery. Shit I just got finished pumping out a greenfield Access project).

I’d like to do other things, but this is the only sort of thing I think I’ve ever gotten an interview for.

> I'm just trying to understand: are you guys really spending your whole days changing button colours?

Not quite like that, but it isn’t uncommon for me to spend time making minor changes because the business area helping with requirements can’t remember what they wanted one day to the next. I wouldn’t like if I said there are many days I spend mostly doing nothing, just waiting for some process or for someone’s calendar to free up before anything can continue. This has been common at all jobs I’ve had except one, where I was a contractor hired to do an extremely specific task for a very small company.

I’ve started working in other things in my (abundant) spare time, hoping they’ll help me get somewhere, but I’ll see.
