I have a general distrust of device manufacturers nowadays. Seeing how far some other devices go (phones and smart TVs especially), I think it's a healthy attitude to have.

To give you an example, I recently implemented an allowlist on my firewall so only approved devices can access my WAN. I immediately started seeing frequent dropped packets from my wireless access point (Netgear Nighthawk AX200) and switch (Ubiquiti UniFi 8-port PoE) to Netgear and AWS IPs respectively. While some of that is probably them checking for updates, the volume didn't really seem warranted.

Going back to Apple though... sure, that's the exact reason why I switched. They already charge a premium, so they have less of an incentive to pad their quarterly earnings selling data. But they're still a company, still responding to shareholders, and they already collect certain amount of analytics. There's not that much of a jump from there to selling it, so being careful and mistrusting is probably a good thing IMO.

I've become more cynical about CA (and the US in general) lately. By reasonable costs it would, but I think the various corruption interests would find their way to increase the price tag until it is only half done, while they enjoy their $40 billion.

There always will be certain percentage of people who will take advantage of return policies. I am sure at Amazon's scale, they can detect abusers easily. Most people hate to return stuff, and I think retailers take advantage of that, in general. That's why you see obvious lies in advertisements. Tesla's Autopilot mode? If society accepted returning defective or subpar products, then I doubt retailers will over-promise or sell subpar products.

Another option might be no returns at all. This way buyers will need to do their due diligence before buying and less likely to impulse purchase crap. Probably better for the society as a whole. Also things will be cheaper as retailers will not need to account for any returns.

Even 80 characters could be too long for some screens / font size. Long lines could be broken (like white-space: pre-wrap does), with an indicator that the line has been broken at the beginning of the continued lines.

> Studies show that more than 99% of Americans 40 years and older have had chickenpox, even if they don’t remember having the disease.

I'm a little surprised that the quoted age of most Americans having it is not less than that. The chickenpox vaccine was only authorized for use in the US in 1995 (I was born a bit before that, my siblings after that). That would make everyone 28 or older at least 2 years old before the vaccine came out in the US, which is the most likely age people got it.

(Assuming that immigrants in the window of 1988 to 1995 from nations who authorized in that period do not make up a substantial fraction of the present US population).
Why shouldn’t a country fight back against US coercion on its soil? And Hong Kong has been a part of China for centuries.

How many countries had the US invaded and is still occupying? How many were threatened into extreme exploitation? How many people are in the ICE run concentration camps?

The two countries don’t even remotely compare.

Basically, it's nothing to worry about. On an average year, about 2.5 million people die in the US, with at least 600k from cancer. Another data point is that something like 2.3 millions sit in the US prisons right now, so if the 900k number makes you terrified, you should be 3x more terrified about ending up in a prison one day and Nx more terrified by cancer, as for each cancer death, there are tens living in misery fighting that cancer.
My understanding of 10x was basically a programmer who is 10x more productive than the average. I assumed the myth was dependent on the output, not necessarily the process...
It's my understanding that there are two different factions, Machines and Androids. The Machines were built by aliens and the Androids were build by humans.

I don't remember anything in the game about Machines rebuilding YoRHa. Did you mean Androids rebuilding YoRHA?

I don't remember anything suggesting this has been "literally" an endless cycle, in fact I believe they say the aliens were only killed 600 years before the events of the game. (Specifically the YoRHA commander says nobody has seen the aliens in 600 years and then the main characters find the corpses of the aliens and Adam says he killed them.)

So absent any further plot twists (and I don't recall any) the events of the game would have to be at least a bit different from previous cycles before 600 years in the past, and I don't believe there's a suggestion that the exact events of the game ever happened before.

I googled this very quickly and don't see any consensus that your interpretation is correct, but my search was hardly thorough.

I don't think implicit counts as "too many features" or as something complex. Basically all it does is finding a canonical value in scope for a hole of certain type.

(spoilers spoilers spoilers)

The androids make a choice whether to help some remote, future civilization they'll never know, or trying to go on with their own life. Which is kind of the same thing you do when you delete your save: it's almost impossible to complete ending E without outside help, and deleting the save file afterwards is a selfless, sacrificial action.

As for the effects of the second act of the game, I was just stating the fact that it's a heavy-handed artistic choice, like more or less everything in the game.

It is totally a coincidence not worth investigating that the covid outbreak started in a city with the lab that holds the world’s largest collection of bat coronaviruses.

> People wouldn't give the Macbook shit if it was twice as thick but had HDMI and USB A. Nobody cares about a thinner product, our current devices are about as ergonomic as they can get without sacrificing durability (if not compromising it, in Apple's case).

Isn't this statement a bit of a blanket? Not too long ago I purchased a laptop specifically for being tiny and lightweight (X1 Nano). Ports and expandability were an afterthought. Certainly many wouldn't mind increased thickness and bulk but there is absolutely a market for portability, at least in laptops and other mobile devices.

That said, the X1 Nano at least has removable/upgradable storage, which can't be found on heavier MacBooks, so there's absolutely an argument for adding expandability where it doesn't negatively impact portability.

> Having the highest memory value 0xFF on the top seems...odd

Dunno ... the highest being on top feels very normal ... . Isn't that more or less the definition of "highest" and "top"?

We have conflicting conventions in all kinds situations:

Numbers increase towards the top in a class Cartesian coordinate system, in the numbering of floors in buildings, on calculator keypads, ...

Numbers increase towards the bottom in coordinate systems in many computer graphics contexts, in numbered lists, on telephone keypads, ...

Sometimes these conventions meet and clash and there is no one right way to handle that.
We would have reacted more assertively because that would have been a much bigger problem. We're lucky it was this way.
They didn't have national lockdowns, and neither did the US.

They had regional lockdowns early in the pandemic. The US... Had a patchwork of half-assed regional lockdowns, that came weeks late.

> All those countries have tight border controls. We get hundreds of thousands of illegal border crosses ever year. We'd have to deploy the military along the Mexican border and probably Canada too.

The overwhelming majority of border cases in the US did not come from illegal crossings in Mexico. They came from legal crossings through controlled borders, because the US did not implement any quarantine control on inbound travelers. It asked for travelers to self-quarantine as a courtesy, with no verification or enforcement, with predictable results.

It's true that lockdowns without contact tracing just delay the problem. The US has failed at that too. If you caught COVID in April, chances are, you'd have no idea who you caught it from. It would have been difficult to engineer a more spectacular disaster, if we tried.

You need two parts to this equation. Lockdown, and contact tracing. Both are required, and it's disingenuous to say that lockdowns don't work. It's fair to say that they don't work as we implemented them. Our implementation of them is not the only implementation of them.

I’d prefer the blog shut down or just self-host or find some alternative. Donations work well enough. I’m blocking the ads anyway and if they block me because of that, then that’s fine too.

Ad blockers are a godsend though. I either get to opt-out of ads, or I get to opt-out of sites that rely on ads (for the most part, caveats aside).
The IP I'd say is the core of the problem.

There are only so many way ways to skin a cat (in nuts and bolts engineering). When constrained by physics, everyone is going to converge on the same fundamental designs. You therefore have two or three options. Take or leave the licensing agreement of the IP holder, which need not be reasonable or effective; say screw it, use the IP and hide the schemata behind enough trade secret bs red tape that no one is comfortable leaking it, or give up.

I wager the second option contributes to things when number 1 fails. At least, it's the only reason that holds water for me, then again, I haven't gotten into that industry enough to vouch for the presence of skeletal remains in the closet.
HyperCard did get a fairly substantial upgrade with HyperCard 2.0. Indeed, the second version of The Complete HyperCard Handbook included another interview with Bill Atkinson, discussing some of the changes made and the direction HyperCard was heading in.

The real trouble for HyperCard came when it was moved to the Claris subsidiary, who started charging for it [1]. No longer was the full version bundled with every Mac sold, which had helped HyperCard become ubiquitous until that point.

“I am still shocked: months after research has shown that SARS-CoV-2 is airborne stable in aerosol form for over 3 hours, we still aren’t telling the public that room air purifiers are a ‘good thing’ (for making indoor air like outdoor air - in regards to virion density per cubic air volume)

The filter technology is essentially the same as in the N95, orders of magnitude more effective than cloth masks.

Put these indoors, multiple per classroom/working space to help the air refresh in sub 5 minute intervals.”

I’m getting more used to this as I age…
Structs with mutable fields is hardly “ultimate low level optimization”, it’s something a lot of programmers still use as a matter of course. (I say this as a fan of immutable data!)

Ultimate low-level optimization in Java would be more like packing your structure into arrays of integers - which is something people actually do in Java. Just because you’re using Java doesn’t mean you don’t want your code to run as fast as possible.
I don't want human like AI to drive cars. I want a deterministic system that we can prove always does the right thing.

I'm not sure that is possible on roads.
> But anyway, i never know if people are serious when they propose the China or Australian model. Those were brutal and Im glad to be voting for a constitutional amendment next week to limit the governor's lockdown authority.

I never know if people are serious when they suggest that a few hundred thousand dead is a worthwhile footgun-sacrifice to escape the draconian rule to which Australians and New Zealanders were subjected to over the past year. I'm generally a bit leery of ideological arguments that necessitate sacrificing those numbers of people for some intangible, abstract good.

But if we are going to go down that road, can I get a say in which people we will get to sacrifice to meet that ideological objective?
Your claims of "vast time series data" would be more believable if you actually linked to some of it.

It's interesting how you can't suspend your credulity to encompass the idea that there are alternative hypotheses for excess deaths, but you are more than happy to assert the existence of "vast datasets" to defend your own opinions.

Here are a few plausible alternative hypotheses that actually have substantial backing evidence, which can be obtained with trivial googling:

* Excess deaths due to missed treatments (we know this is happening, e.g. for cancer)

* Excess deaths due to untreated acute medical emergencies (e.g. physicians in NYC noticed the curious phenomenon of heart attacks disappearing from ERs during the height of lockdown

* Excess deaths due to drug and alcohol abuse (again, we know it's happening)

I'm sure there are many others worth consideration. My point is not to assert that any of these are automatically true, but that they merit consideration, and anyone who doesn't fairly consider them is probably not engaged in good-faith debate.
Disclaimer: I did not opt in to tracking.

However... I'm not sure how the discussion about the technology behind ad targeting is relevant to the end user. The point is that it -works- and that the ads shown to the user are indeed more likely to pique their interests. As an end user, I don't -care- whether the backend is using AI/ML or a relational database—I care that by enabling tracking, I get more relevant ads.

The only argument I can see for its "usefulness" as a statistic is if you want to imply that the old are less useful than the young.

It's not about "usefulness", it's that saving the life of a young person produces a larger benefit in terms of expected future years of life. Take the extreme case: if a building is on fire and you can only rescue one person, would you be indifferent between saving the life of a 10 year old child versus a 90 year old with terminal cancer?

> obvious to anyone with basic thinking skills that "the government of a county" and "the people/nationalities/culture of a county" are two totally different things.

The CCP has invested a lot of energy into making the people of China conflate these two concepts. The party IS China and the two are inseparable according to the CCP.

This is where the topic becomes contentious and not so black and white. The CCP has successfully influenced millions of people into doing its bidding abroad. And the CCP is fully aware of the West's strong aversion to racism in any form, and has been able to weaponise it.

I love the thought behind it, but the sad reality is that browsers prefer minimized code these days. Long and descriptive variable and function names require storage. TypeScript and React generate a lot of verbose code that minifiers chew through (and usually expect that release mode will be minified).

If you want to give your users access to your code, minify (preferably with a minifier that uses newlines where possible) and use source maps.
Care more about your users: use less javascript

Excess deaths could easily be attributed to non-covid factors like Alzheimer’s.

For my country and some others I monitored, the first wave happened outside of flu season, and excess mortality was higher than COVID deaths at that point and continued to track.

Second wave was more difficult since it overlapped the normal flu season.

Sounds like something that would make binary patching easier. Lack of simple binary patching is one of the key bits missing that would make switching to static binaries more viable. Currently one of the big upsides to dynamic libraries is the bandwidth they save in distribution where binary patches would go a long way to addressing this.
