I'd like to urge everyone to consider contributing to cost-effective charities that work on alleviating the scourge of malaria.

GiveWell, a charity evaluator recommends Malaria Consortium and Against Malaria Foundation as cost-effective ways to directly reduce instances of malaria.

My whole point is that it is, in fact, possible to have many - practically all important - of those features without complex chips - at best with more simple ones, which don't require latest semiconductor technologies to manufacture.

I won't itemize to GP, but at least remember that onboard computer is a relatively recent addition for cars.
One comment that struck me on Twitter is that others track your eye attention, where Tesla only does steering wheel, which is annoying and kinda pointless...
The page says this is specific to reflowable text ebooks.

Still, I’m confused. Does this mean that plain text files will be the only way to publish reflowable text ebooks to Kindle EInk ereaders? That seems very odd.
I grow up in Africa too, Sudan to be specific. During my early childhood years, I contracted malaria more than 5 times. It was really a very regular disease -- that an typhoid. It was only during college have I learned how devastating and seriously dangerous those diseases are: just to put things in perspective, a doctor once told my friend, after he checked his lab results (and be mused of it), they either have malaria or typhoid.

I'm interested to read more about the possibilities that in africa we contracted so many diseases that explains the rather shocking covid mortality rate. It could be because of mean age too.
And it can also mechanically couple the ICE motor to the wheels at highway speeds, when it is more efficient to do so. For a hybrid it was an inspired design.
Earn it and pay a fee. I think there is at least one case of a person who earned it but didn't pay the fee and ended up without PhD.
We have data sharing agreements with some entities in the ecosystem, and get structured data from them. We're in discussions with others. Various entities in the ecosystem move at various rates, and unfortunately a lot of individual providers are more technically constrained than we are; that's why we effectively put-an-API-on-top-of-them for the rest of the ecosystem.

If the only way they have to publish availability is via faxes well rolls up sleeve I have a fax machine, like any good Japanese salaryman.
I would go for something like Wasabi cloud storage ,

It’s api is S3 compliant.

And also I believe they have minimal cost for transferring data from S3 into wasabi , so initial setup cost should be lower too.

It should be relatively cheaper than self hosting too , when you account for hidden costs that comes with self hosting , related to managing additional employees , having protocols in place for recovering from faults , expanding the storage as you go , maintaining existing infrastructure , etc.

You can compare the prices with respect to S3 at

one thing that ive noticed/realized is that perhaps associating hierarchy with division of labor/responsibility is perhaps an anti-pattern...

what if the ceo was responsible, but was working under the managers "for them" what if managers worked at the same level as thier team whos role is to make the team productive and support them (or even the team could fire thier manager) etc etc

i wonder if disassociating those two (responsiiblity/hierarchy) might be a step towards fixing these kinds of issues...
> situations are unprecedented (where a company builds a market completely controlled by itself)

not really. Malls are in a similar situation. If you own the mall, you get to dictate whether the tenants are allowed or not. They pay rent to remain in the mall, and there's some rules they must follow or they get kicked out (rules which are made clear upfront).

The difference between a mall and the app store is that there can be competing malls (say, right next door!), but currently, apple has made it impossible to create competing app stores. But malls themselves have a natural monopoly, because of pysics - pauli's exclusion principle - you cannot occupy the same space as another mall.

So the law should account for this, and make sure that the app store is just as fair as a mall is today.
> - Start permissively F/OSS project

> - Entice the community to contribute/produce content/market

You can't really do that without every contributor agreeing or using a compatible license (unless people sign CLAs, but even then you can only re-license further work).
Anecdotal, but the pandemic has pushed our mall past the edge to the other side- one of its abandoned anchor stores is now a mass vaccination site.
> She also accused Apple of preventing Tile from using the technology behind Apple's Find My function, giving AirTags an unfair advantage.

I am not a person who uses Apple products so someone please clarify for me. Does Apple grant access to this to other people? Can I create a GPS-enabled product and use Apple's SDK to implement "Find My...?"
I'm wondering what difference you see between the examples - they both seem like self-depreciating humour to me. It doesn't really make sense to be offended on behalf of other groups, especially when they haven't problem with it.
Don’t forget the literature one.
Think about the time in which emacs was written though. In 1985 it was absolutely ground-breaking, and has stood the test of time. I've seen PhD dissertations approved at reputable schools for reimplementing Apache Storm badly.

And emacs is one example of a lot of really valuable contributions to the state of the art Stallman has made. Honestly, his political fame is the least interesting thing about his career, in my opinion.

I have a drive way, and it’s not solved for me. My driving needs would require me to be frequently filling up at charging stations.

These kind of “it’s solved” statements are very much picking the facts to fit the conclusion, rather than the other way around. Pointing this out usually elicits a “well you should change your lifestyle to better suit the features of an electric car”. If you tried to say that about software features most of us would intuitively know how dumb it is, but it’s supposedly a much more reasonable argument when made about transport.
The irony of Tile's demand was that by Apple opening up Find My to third parties Tile's network effect moat just became irrelevant.

Instead of having one serious competitor with a network (Apple) that's only iOS they're now a strict commodity and the "Tile Network" isn't a differentiated advantage.

Be careful what you wish for.
Yes, it is a monopoly. You can see the effects in software that doesn't even run on Apple devices. The most recent example is Discord being forced to change their entire platform and software on non-apple OSes just to be allowed to have their software run on Apple's monopoly walled garden.

The bottom up vs inside out has always been present - and the robotics Lego build on Technic which always had a bit of the inside-out build going on.

I think a big part of learning to build well with Lego is realizing the refactoring that’s built in - like Minecraft you build a prototype and then continually refine it until the final product looks amazing.
I was referring to the fact that some state ethics boards have said it is a no-no, but as I was reminded in a later comment, others have said, “go at it!” So it depends on what state you lawyer in!
They are indeed simply nothing more than “bad words” in this context.

There is almost certainly no context about race or sexual orientation. They're simply generic words, often not even taken to be negative.

“-fag” is simply a nominalizer, in this sense “Archfag” means “Arch Linux user”, having neither a positive nor negative connotation, and certainly having nothing to do with any sexual orientation.

I hope countries learn from this mess and start working to build up their local manufacturing capacity, even if only to cover their own needs when global disruptions like this hit. It doesn't have to be cutting edge or competitive cost-wise. Even late 90s era tech would do.

Yes. They actually talked about this in the event, and one of Tile's competitors (who's name escapes me) is adding it to some of their products.

Eh like I said I was not as concise as I would like to have been in my comment :

IVF is not creating a completely new, engineered organism. Not really what I am talking about.

And man, the idea that religion has no place in the modern world would be laughable if it weren't so tragic. Religion serves a veokry important role in society and we abandon it at our peril.

I am sorry to hear about your friend, but this is really not comparable to engineering a new unique organism. And I'm sure her pain would be just as great or worse without a god in her life. Christians realize that there are trials in the world. Re: the book of Job.
Fee? This doesn‘t sound right at all. Credible institutions pay their graduate students (a little), not the other way around.
Example? As far as I know, Discord mainly uses React Native on all platforms, with some iOS and Android specific code on those platforms for integration and performance reasons.

If you have a part you really like BrickLink is often he best way to get it cheaply (as you can buy just it) - but if you want to expand your collection I would use BrickLink’s tools to find sets that have as many of the parts as you can find and try to locate those on sale.

Or try the local Goodwill Auction site (if you drive to pickup you save on shipping and can outbid others).
The very fact that RMS has 15 honorary doctorates undermines his argument: if they were at all equivalent, there would be individuals with a comparable number of earned doctorates.

But the latter don’t get offered for the same body of work, over and over again.

While I'm not sure I entirely agree with the point OP made, it's pretty clear that 'creating a sentient being' is the line being crossed. Modding a being already in existence is not at all comparable.
> As for social distancing outdoors, Bazant says it makes almost no sense and that doing so with masks on is “kind of crazy.”

There are very few recorded instances of outdoor transmission.” he said. “Crowded spaces outdoor could be an issue, but if people are keeping a reasonable distance of like 3 feet outside, I feel pretty comfortable with that even without masks frankly.”

^ The important thing that no one seems to be mentioning in the comments here. I'm surrounded with "informed" hyper-concerned liberals in a city and the amount of people wearing masks outdoors quite far away from anyone is making me question their sanity.

> What's that? Some alternative to AbortSignal to gently prevent async code from continuing all the way to its logical conclusion?

Yes, a way to terminate down-stream. It turns out to be a pretty messy problem. I didn't know AbortSignal was in Node now. It's been a while since I revisited this issue. I should read more.

> Also please be sensitive and don't use "kill" in new code. ;) We already have to deal with "abort".

They weren't forced to do it, they did it so they didn't have to have a 17+ rating in the App Store. And then they decided not to.

The second flight, which will carry astronauts to the Moon, could launch as early as 2024

Extremely unlikely. The first Apollo landing was the result of years of research and the expensive development of whole industries and skills. One smallish company has no hope of duplicating that environment in such a short time.
This is why monopolies are no good. With each passing day the search results get worse.
I bet you can get most of the answer by checking for changes in two stats that can be empirically calculated: # of ground tackles and # of true offsides. Both could be algorithmically done provided decent footage.
> 15 hour long song, in which I included a 3.6 minute (corresponding to 0.04% of the whole track) long song by The Beatles

This is posing it the wrong way around. The API is still a tiny subset of Java itself.

If that 3.6 minutes is composed of any substantiate part of the Beatles' song, then you'll clearly have a problem.

However, we actually do have case law in this particular case that we can refer to, specifically, around sampling. In which case, we have several instances where samples less than 3 seconds can be considered substantive, as they may reflect the tone and rhythms unique to the original artist.

It's hard to argue with the claim - if you have an iOS phone or tablet, for example, it is a monopoly, since it's the only place you can buy a program for your computer.

The walled garden has real benefits in security and privacy, but seems to require centralized control, and comes at the expense of user freedom.

A solution to the monopoly pricing problem could be to treat app store controllers (currently A & G) to the same type of control that credit card issuers are subject to, and place a limit on the rates they can charge.

A solution to the security vs freedom question could be to require that users have the option to opt out of app store controls for installing programs.

Isn't that kind of how it already works? A software vendor licenses libraries bundled with their software and different people end up owning different parts of the final product?

> My driving needs would require me to be frequently filling up at charging stations.

I don't think $40k electric cars (or even the long-range Tesla models) are for people who use cars for work and require frequent/long distances.

This is more for the guy who does 15-30km/day commute, then maybe few km to the mall and has a driveway in his house. Maybe once in a while does 100km trip to some mountain.

Best you can do for now is a hybrid.
They clearly can, and are in this case used, to communicate information where neither the listener nor the speaker is even thinking about race or sexual orientation, and no comment thereon is made.

If you wish to still call that “racism and homophobia”, then neither of which necessarily has anything to do with race or sexual orientations, or even disdain. — you should also know that your usage of these words is then quite nonstandard, and does not align with what most mean with them.

The word “nigger”, in particular, has been of particular interest of study in how depending on context the word can very much be about race, and negatively so, to a simple form of address that has no implications of race.
I feel like the entire world has forgotten what a monopoly is. Apparently both Apple and Google are monopolies despite being competitors of one another. Programmers clearly talk about developing apps for one platform or another and sometimes give up on developing for one because the approval process was annoying or arbitrary. Consumers have a choice in the phones they buy and whether to even use a phone app for that service to begin with. Maybe this isn't a healthy ecosystem, but it seems we've completely lost the thread on what a monopoly is.
He would have known more than most others...
When I say "key" I mean the blob that gets stored, but I may be misremembering or misusing S3 terms... it was large amounts of DNA sequencing data, and one of the first tasks was to add S3 support for indexed reads to our internal HTSlib fork, and since then somebody else's implementation has been added to the library. In any case, I quickly forgot about most of the details of S3 when I no longer had to deal with it directly...
Phish did that. I pay them. They're objectively the highest paid independent artists ever.
Even if we implemented a carbon tax, I don't know if it would actually make that big a difference unless it was very high.

A quick google search came up with this from an organization that (from the name and content on their site) appears to be an oil industry lobby group:

https://www.americanenergyalliance.org/2020/10/under-bidens-...

> Our Northern neighbor has some experience with a carbon tax as well as other mechanisms for reducing carbon dioxide emissions. In 2019, Canada implemented a carbon tax under the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act supported by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The carbon tax started at $20 per metric ton in 2019, and is scheduled to increase at $10 per metric ton per year until reaching $50 per metric ton in 2022. The carbon tax will stay at that level unless the legislation is revisited and revised.
>
> A $20 per metric ton carbon tax equates to a 16.6 cent per gallon surcharge on gasoline. In 2022, the $50 per ton carbon tax would increase Canadian gasoline prices by about 42 cents per gallon or about 8 percent.

Even the $50 per ton tax doesn't seem like it actually raises prices all that much. I mean, if you're poor and need to buy gas to get to work it's a detrimental change, but gas prices fluctuate more than that just from oil production changes and geopolitics, and it hasn't stopped price-sensitive purchasers from buying gas-burning cars.

Interesting points.
Personally, not sure I agree with 1. Lots of scenarios where creating a sentient being would be bad - like if that being can only experience endless pain.

On point 2 : well you got me there. Let me be more precise : its not the "natural processes" part that is important, but my point was rather that this type of hybridizing results in the creation of organisms which have not been time tested and weathered the refining pressures of evolution. We have no gaurantees of the probabability of a successful organism - could be, as I said, some fucked up abomination which only exists to plead for death. Quite tragic in my view if this is the outcome.

I just think we'd better not even go there.

I highly suggest reading my article on How we should be using Git. It covers a Git Patch Stack workflow, where it originated from and the tooling we built around it.

So nope, nothing is conflated for me and I haven't jumped anywhere. My feet are firmly planted in the land of "4Chan has lots of racism & hate speech". I don't know what land you're in if it's a place where calling someone a "fa--ot [n-word]" doesn't get categorized into some sort of hate speech.
