> so we have data for 12m+. As a comparison safety data for Covid is only 6m older.

We have data for 12m, but only for a very small population (22k in Pfizer, less in others IIRC). You are unlikely to see a 1:20,000 general population risk (as indicated by the Israeli study) in a 22k "volunteer, must be quite healthy" experiment. Unsurprisingly, there are no deaths in the pfizer trial - neither vaccine nor placebo arm (and no severe disease past day 73 in the placebo arm) That's the 12m data we have.

No, we have 6m real world data for the vaccine, and 18m real world data for the virus. That's .. quite a difference.

> However to detect two rare events, say narcolepsy and 5x narcolepsy, you need a lot of data.

Indeed, which is why I am puzzled -- given that you are very much aware of the details -- that you can keep claiming that "the vaccine is less dangerous than the virus". You have proof from just 11 years ago where it took over a year of real world use to figure otherwise. What makes you think this time is different?

> That's not the conclusion of the paper and hopeful speculation

True. Also, the long term safety of covid vaccines is not a conclusion of any research and is hopeful speculation. And yet, people get no challenge for assuming that, despite counterexamples like Pandemrix.

> you are currently engaging in lifestyle choices or are taking medication that are way riskier than current Covid vaccines.

While that's true, that's also true for my subjective risk from COVID19 (and that's also true for the vast majority of 20-40 year olds). Would you consider that a good reason to ignore covid completely, and not take any precautions? If so, then - why do you care about the vaccine?

If it isn't a good reason -- and I don't think it's a good reason to ignore covid -- then ... why is the same argument not applicable to the covid vaccines safety?
This doesn't take care of the aspect of parents wanting to spend time with their kids. It's just "we need more daycare options so that mothers can focus more on their careers".

Or, of course, copy the keys.
I would argue that anybody who thinks "Why bother getting the vaccine if I'll still have to stay locked down/masked/etc" probably would be avoiding the vaccine anyways, and this is just a convenient excuse.

It's different, but similar. We do actually care about other property ownership -- we tax various parts of its production to encourage the outcomes we want. That might be taxing based on country of origin, of materials used, of cost to dispose of, etc.

But land is intrinsically tied to housing and food production. We should be strongly discouraging allowing usable land to lie dormant because someone wants to speculate on it. Land should be taxed in a way that encourages maximizing housing/business/service utilization. A city block dedicated to surface parking provides almost no utility compared to placing a forty story mixed use residential building on the same lot. Even worse are property speculators who purchase abandoned sites and do nothing with them for years in hopes that property values will rise considerably in an urban core.

Clickbait headline. He did not say it's a long way from use, but instead that it's challenging to ensure models translate well to real world conditions.

I think that it totally depends on the definition of 'behavior like this today'.

If 'behavior like this' is creatively toying with lab equipment that you have been given physical access to, bending the rules a little bit in the process, to participate in an academic challenge? If it would be up to me then a slap on the wrist would suffice, now just as well as presumably in 1993.

But if 'behavior like this' means breaking into computers, which nowadays are essential parts of a university's infrastructure, in straight violation of rules and conventions on hacking that have been in place since before you were born (say 2000), just to get some computer time to, say, mine whatevercoins? Then a little more than a slap on the wrist would be completely fine by me.
Oh and it wasn't. That was the least of the school's problems though.

They also used a surveillance system called LanSchool, which sent out all of its commands entirely unencrypted and unauthenticated, so people would spoof the remote takeover command and steal exams from teachers' accounts. It ended up being a whole thing my senior year.

It is not that simple. You could use the exact module in different environments: browser, NodeJS, React Native.

Ah yes, good memories. I'm having a really hard time right now remembering the name of that program that blocked access to the Finder; I think it was "Easy"-something. Google fails me on the name too. Breaking it was a hobby.

Some school labs had left access to Hypercard available through that program, so you could just pull up Hypercard and make a new stack that would tell the program to quit.

The other way to get around it -- or around many other misbehaving programs in the cooperative multitasking system -- was to bring up the programmer's interrupt like the author describes, and enter "SM 0 A9F4", followed by "G 0". This would set memory location 0 to the _exitToShell function in the OS ROM and then resume execution from there, which immediately terminated whatever was in the foreground.

The rest of the system would often be a little unstable after that though, so you only had a few moves left before a restart would be needed.

To youths with curious mindsets, an anti-authoritarian streak, and seemingly limitless amounts of free time, little restrictions like these only improved our skills. Systems with challenging but imperfect security are a great way to foster new young talent.

Oso | Software Engineer, Developer Advocate, & Eng Manager | New York City (NYC) | Onsite or Remote

Over the last 15 years, companies like AWS, Stripe, and Twilio have helped developers offload anything not core to their apps so they can focus on what matters to their users. Despite a lot of progress in developer tooling, most developers still roll their own authorization.

You might start with something quick 'n dirty – some IF statements and roles in a database, which may not be pretty but gets the job done...until you need to add more features, and more features. And inevitably every team band-aids onto this system until they do a big refactor. This is lost time for an area that's not core to what most companies are trying to solve for their users, and what's more, no one on the team is feeling great about this work.

At Oso (backed by Sequoia), we're building the first batteries-included library for authorization so developers don't have to roll it on their own ever again. We're designing slick APIs to cut down the amount of time they spend getting their system set up, and building a fully-fledged policy engine and programming language (in Rust) under the hood to ensure they can customize their system however they need. We don't have any product managers – the engineers on the team are responsible for taking broad problems, experimenting with potential solutions and shipping a superhuman experience for our users.

The team members who join now will not only have a disproportionately large impact on the product, but also on the culture and future of the company.

We are based in NYC and hiring folks remote or onsite.

Good to know, thanks! I have a mental disconnect between "1-1/small group chat clients" (for which Signal works perfectly for me) and "group chat clients" (for which Slack works well for work. Discord is some of the buggiest and least-usable software I've ever used, but I appear to be in the minority there). To be clear, I'm not trying to shift the goalposts here - it's very reasonable to expect Signal to be good at both, I've just never done so (which is why I didn't know about those issues, and why I only listed SMS and WhatsApp as competitors).

I definitely see that those issues would be irritating! I've never heard of Matrix, I'll give it a look - thanks!

I've heard that pockets add bulk and warping to the clothing, so this might be a stylistic thing as well. Especially since female jeans tend to be stretchier and more form-fitting.
I don't think this is taking into account the fact that men's and women's jeans are made to different shapes to conform to different male and female bodies. Perhaps the difference in design constrains the effective maximum depth of front pockets on women. As evidence that pocket size differences are not merely because clothes companies don't think women need pockets I would point to their data that shows that women's back pockets are the same size as men's. If clothes companies were giving women smaller pockets for arbitrary reasons wouldn't that also carry over to back pockets?
They don't have FDA approval as a medical device for the HRM, yet. They have a lower "clearance"(?) standard, I believe, which won't meet insurance or other requirements.
I don't believe it's that simple. At least in the past. When you have no options to buy another product then all the trends will point towards that being the consumer demand.

That's like saying everyone loves Comcast because everyone in my area has them. They are the only provider, so maybe sales numbers isn't the best metric to determine consumer desire in all cases.

Within recent years this argument becomes a bit less viable as there are so many ways to purchase clothing and near infinite options, but it then becomes about brand reputation and quality. How many vendors have the capability to meet consumer demand with a high quality, available product. And how easy is it to get funding for this business when, as you say, consumers don't APPEAR to want it?

So this argument feels lazy imo. I don't think it's a conspiracy insofar there is a cabal refusing to put pockets in their clothing for some nefarious reason. But that doesn't mean that the consumers are being listened to, and brands aren't responsible for the lack of available pocket space in women's clothing.
I would guess that this is probably true, but then again I don't have $100M. It's possible that those people look up at wealthier folks in the same way that working wealthy look up at them (and working poor look up at working wealthy).

> Just FYI, 'conservative investors' do understand crypto, they just think it's a bad investment.

That statement is demonstrably false. There are two reasons to not be invested in cryptocurrencies at this point in history. You are either ignorant of the technology (which is fine, lots of more important knowledge out there), or it doesn't fit your current risk profile.

There is not a knowledgeable person on the planet who would say that any investment in any cryptocurrency is bad for all investors.
I DIDN'T claim Amazon is or isn't one.
I'm not sure I agree. This only doesn't disincentive productive activity if you think that secondary financial markets (including speculation and market making on those markets) aren't contributing anything productive.

I'm of two minds about this but I lean towards the notion that speculation is a net value add.

Think about the trillions raised in the secondary market, which is all contingent on valuations set by supply and demand, where these valuations are determined by speculators. The more accurate the speculators are, the more productive the capital is that's injected into the secondary market.

So I think we definitely don't want to disincentive the institutional speculation that happens, which is what a tax would do.

On the other hand we want to disincentive retail hype bubbles like GME, which lead to the opposite to the above - capital going the wrong way. However it's not clear to me that the tax would achieve that. Retail hype seems rather price inelastic. The bitcoin craze in late 2017 was good evidence of this, since fees for trading crypto are very high.

It’s a bit of a circular logic though, isn’t it? Apple can’t be first, therefore they aren’t first and the sensors are useless. Personally, I have no opinion on the technology, but Apple is actually commonly the first company to use some new technologies in mass-market devices.

What they usually do is find a small company with some compelling technology and then either fund it to gain exclusive or privileged access, or buy it outright. The story here (that a small company working on cutting edge sensors has close links with Apple) fits that pattern perfectly.

While this is indeed clickbait as mentioned by others - I am consistently shocked with how little the most common technique for ensuring that a model you trained works on unseen data, cross-validation, is used in the real world.

I had it drilled into my brain that I really shouldn't trust anything except the average validation score of a (preferably high K value) K-fold cross evaluated model when trying to get an idea of how well my ML algorithm performs on unseen data. Apparently most people in my field (NLP) did not have this drilled into their head either. This is partly why NLP is filled with unreproducable scores (because the magically score if it was ever found was only found on seed #3690398 train/test split)

As far as I'm concerned, if you didn't cross-validate, the test set score is basically useless.
