You'd do that by going long in all stocks that Berkshire owns, and short Berkshire itself. The problem with that is that Berkshire also has a bunch of non-listed subsidiaries you can't buy.

Actually, there is some good news. Many types of prions diseases do not spread from animals to humans (so far). There have been some studies around this with CWD, but also Scapie has been around for hundreds or even thousands of years and never made the jump. Even in areas with CWD, we see that herd numbers do typically rebound. It's believed that there is some genetic factor that prevents the onset of the symptoms, like the body's proteins are less likely to fold in that way, so you only accumulate what you eat, or that the body can clean up the misfolded proteins. So it's not like it would wipe out everyone. I think I remember reading that some people are also researching prion treatments with some limited sucess. I would imagine they would come up with something even more quickly if there was a epidemic type of situation, similar to how medical researchers around the world focused on covid.
Perhaps he gambled on the options being worth more. I don't know about all the companies mentioned, but Sumo IPO'd last year.
I’ve been bumped into SLA hell when incorrectly filling out a form as well.

Go fill the form to make the request - it’s got a 3 day SLA so it shouldn’t be a problem. Day 3 - form rejected due to missing a small detail / something they could call me about. Day 4 - I see the notice the form is rejected and either a) have to resubmit and wait 3 more days or b) escalate because now this is an emergency.
The Fora people even developed a prion that confers resistance to kuru:

> researchers [...] discovered a naturally occurring variant of a prion protein in a population from Papua New Guinea that confers strong resistance to kuru

> This community [...] has developed their own biologically unique response [...] this genetic evolution has happened in a matter of decades
I have seen awk be used for really cool stuff but I usually find myself just using sed and cut anyway. For example I would probably write the git ls-tree part as this:

You're wrong. Computer "worms" as people think of them are not the problem here. They're actually well understood. And while propagation seems like it could be so fast it's overwhelming, I think there are a lot of reasons to consider that exceedingly unlikely. These "worms" are the equivalent of catching a communicable illness that is *physically manipulating* the car (even if it's just software).

What's the bigger issue?

Adversarial manipulation of the sensor inputs. This can be equated to verbal or visual manipulation in humans, something that becomes much harder to detect. While most of these attacks would be against a local target, I could also see a widespread deployment that goes unnoticed and slowly degrades many neural networks, and those being erroneously propagated.

The latter is a much bigger problem than "worms" because it's effectively invisible. We can audit and identify malicious code, there's an entire industry built around that. But, neural networks are for the most part still a black box solution. How does one detect and solve manipulation in a black box solution?

【Event Review】Third HDG Event in Italy on Gaming, a Striking Success
The article is quite unclear as to why a new collection of code points is needed to represent a handshake.

It is in fact so unclear that I halfway through ended up confused as to if the author was trying to add handshake into Unicode or to add color to an already existing handshake emoji.

Reading through comments here, it seems that

A) there does indeed already exist a handshake code point.

B) Unicode does not allow adding two colors to a single code point, so author needs to invent a collection of code points that can represent an already existing emoji, in order to allow for different colored hands shaking.
It’s a neat idea but as outlined in the article, you have to control the culture. If you don’t, it would be possible for factions to develop or efforts to influence salary votes with kick backs. It’s fine when everyone has some appreciation for the other workers and not too large of an ego, but one selfish person could throw things off.

My dad used to work a machinist job where they were paid piece rate. He thought this was great and systematically improved good own production to the point where he was making twice what most others on the shift were. They resented him and others who succeeded under piece rate pay. Eventually the company took an employee vote on eliminating piece rate pay and going hourly. The low output workers would make more with hourly pay but my dad would make much less. The hourly pay faction won the vote and my dad and others ended up on new jobs.

This is realistically solvable.

1. First, by Mozilla analysts & developers making a good job at rolling out a potential implementation in a safe progressive way, with the easiest stuff first (`fbclid`, `gclid`, etc), and then going deeper / per-site, maybe re-using (part of) existing filterlists.

1.1. Also, note that ClearURLs is quite aggressive (as noted by a few commenters, and I confirm): it strips lots of non-URLbar requests, strips ETags, etc. A sibling comment mentions that alternative NeatURL is less aggressive. As with all cat-and-mouse games, this is a trade-off, and an implementation in core Firefox doesn't have to go as far as ClearURLs, at least initially. Offering a strictness knob to users is also an option.

2. Then, Firefox already has UI to disable Tracking Protection and work around sites broken by it: click the shield at the left of your URL bar, then toggle off "Enhanced Tracking Protection is ON for this site" to see if it was ETP that broke the site. This UI maybe need adjustments / more granularity (and maybe not), sure.

Although yellow seems like it's good for everyone (since no one is actually yellow), it ends up still representing the majority. Just look at the Simpsons - all the characters are yellow, but not Apu.

Also skin tone options are extremely popular with people of colour - probably because they feel the default yellow doesn't represent them.

> I believe that marketers should feel free to use those to measure the effectiveness of their campaigns

I don't. I believe marketers should have exactly zero ways to measure the effectiveness of their mind hacking efforts. Any data they try and collect should have negative value by virtue of being completely randomized by the browser.

Actually I believe marketers shouldn't even exist. Nothing they say is trustworthy by virtue of conflict of interest. The internet would be much better off without these constant attempts to subvert it for their purposes.

They are widely used, which is actually more important than them being used well. Because it's much easier to fix the problem you described than it is to adopt a new communication style as a species. Unicode may be silly, but it's clearly a step we are taking together in communication style.
And before anybody had come up with all of these bits about how to use formalized experimentation and reason to arrive at truth? You had people doing things based on intuition and whatever means of gaining and transmitting knowledge that there was at the time...

“sorcery” is more of a modern pejorative for practices which haven’t or couldn’t be verified with modern methods... before modern methods you had people doing what they could to accomplish things... it wouldn’t occur to you to distinguish (and you couldn’t) between “magic” nonsense and “real” medicine. You got treated with plants and concoctions that had at least some basis in reason and experience, but there weren’t yet philosophies about how to reliably separate what was real and what worked from what was bogus.

Modern medicine still has plenty of nonsense in it which might as well be sorcery.

I certainly think we'll have a new cause of death "computer - AI", whether malicious or not it's something we need to start tracking and keeping tabs on.

I wonder if, as we do at the moment with human piloted cars, we'll just shrug it off and offer a passing "poor human" (in the case of injury/death) and continue with our day.

Death is around us 24/7 and I am not convinced even if cars were hacked and told to drive into objects we'd care very much, we'd probably fix the bug and move on.

If the tax authorities were properly funded? Why not, if the tax system was fair? Or if people were good?

I would suggest that most of the tax system is in line with that odd expression - "The crime isn't what's illegal but what's legal."

Poor people commit crimes because they lack resources and imagination. Rich people use both to make sure they get what they want without putting themselves on the wrong side of the law.
You can use a "scripts" section in pyproject.toml (it's what poetry reads, and increasingly more Python tools are leveraging it, which is good), but in general each repository/project offers what it wants to offer as commands, nothing in comparison with the "standards in use" for npm and similar. Personally I have used it to give easy access to the "main thing I want to execute" for my own weird projects.

I'm pretty happy using Poetry, and agree with your initial point, partially with the second. There can be some edges with packages involving "anything" binary (to be fair, that is to be expected), and a big issue (for me) is locking the resolution of some libraries, like boto (since botocloud has hundreds of patch releases and the resolver can get pretty crazy unless you play a bit of manual bisection). But this only hits you on poetry lock or poetry add when developing, and only in some cases, I think it's a fair price to pay for a reproducible build.

I know little about Teslas, so:

> A hacker who exploits the vulnerabilities can perform any task that a regular user could from the infotainment system. That includes opening doors, changing seat positions, playing music, controlling the air conditioning, and modifying steering and acceleration modes. However, the researchers explained, “This attack does not yield drive control of the car though.”

Two things.

I feel the title of the article should have included this information, eg. "Tesla Car's Infotainment System Hacked Remotely.." to make the headline a little less scary.

Secondly, though, can someone explain how "modifying steering and acceleration modes" does not "yield drive control"? This sounds like it does affect the driving of the car.
I would generally agree, except in wonder what the aquifers/groundwater looks like in that region and also the sea water along that coast (likely more of a biological source than an industrial one in that case, I think).
I think there's a decent argument that 'bribe' still isn't the most applicable category. The gifts are certainly used as a manipulative tactic, but if their value is trivial and they are given unconditionally, maybe they have more in common with practices like hiring attractive representatives and instructing them to be friendly when pitching a product (and also with ordinary advertisements; part of the point of those free pens is simply to get a name or logo into the doctor's head). They're tactics to give the product a positive sheen and 'earn' some goodwill and familiarity, rather than items of (non-trivial) material value used to incentivise the desired behaviour.

edit: I'm thinking of practices like the one referred to in the nyt article -- gift-giving to doctors by drug manufacturers. The top-level comment that started this chain did talk about items offered as part of a direct exchange, which is different.

> As a foreigner, there's a conflict of interest - I'd rather not have children be forced to kill me.

I'm not sure how seriously you meant this, but that seems a little exaggerated. If your kids are drafted into service in another Western country than you hold citizenship, the odds that they would find themselves fighting a war against your country are slim. And even if it does happen, they'd likely find themselves transferred or exempted on account of a parent being one of the enemy.

On top of that, there are an abundance of non-combat roles for draftees - here in Israel you can spend your mandatory service programming computers, driving or fixing trucks, coordinating international communication with countries that are only semi-friendly (maybe that of your parents, since you speak the language!), stapling papers together with no apparent purpose other than government bureaucracy, supervising a kitchen, investigating higher-ups in the military for fraud and corruption (internal police), diffusing bombs, helping with Covid testing/ vaccine logistics, or singing in a choir. (I have met people who did most all of those things. If you don't want to kill people you have many other options.)

On some level, any participation in the organization is indirectly supporting the war effort, but so is paying taxes. Would you be against your children paying taxes to a country other than your own?
Yeah, well unfortunately there are anti-vaxxers but people who have genuine concerns over the long term safety of a completely experimental vaccine will be labeled as antivaxx to.
iOS Development Trends to Consider
Destroying prions is eco friendly.
Consumers value their privacy and don't want to be tracked. Adtech keeps insisting on tracking users without consent. So users develop tools that neutralize the tracking. So adtech develops counter-measures. So users develop counter-counter-measures.

And on and on it goes.

I'm currently working on testing a UI with Selenium that uses Shadow DOM all over the place. It's hot garbage, and I have no idea why anybody thought this was a good idea.

Something goes wrong in CI and you'd like to dump the DOM to figure out why? Too bad, the entire page is sitting inside a Shadow DOM, and you get to see an empty body tag and a timeout waiting for an element to appear.

Want to click that button that's nested 5 Shadow DOMs deep? Have fun creating a monster JS query to manually trawl though the Shadow DOMs to click it, because Selenium has no idea how to access the button. And that's if you're lucky and the Shadow DOM is marked "open". If it's marked closed, you can go sit on your thumb.

It's like someone looked at iframes and thought "hey, that's a great idea!" and never stopped to think why they were considered bad practice already 20 years ago.
