The odd resolution display (2256x1504) will likely require that your OS have good high DPI / fractional scaling support, making this not really an ideal candidate for running linux :/

The Third Party Doctrine is one of the things that is so obviously out of date, and needs to be changed. When so much of our lives (to the point where it is our lives) are online, why is there no expectation of privacy?

Increasing hospital capacity costs a hell of a lot more than $5M.
I didn't know you could write SQL directly in Rmarkdown like this, very interesting. Thanks!
Ohh sh*t. Sorry if i offended anyone by "Maybe in India"!

What I meant is that there are some sane companies where promotion or rise is more about motivation, and its not driven by "up or out" mentality that you can see in Accenture and similar companies exploiting their workers in poor countries.
I think the shift in culture is directly correlated to being better off for the average person. Dublin is very different from rural places, that have changed more slowly. Its modernisation, for better or worse. Politics is as crooked as ever. Some serious sennanigans were had well before the multinationals were big
You think $5M will make a significant dent with regards to hospital capacity? It seems too small an amount for that end

I also don't think this is about hospital capacity but about inching the state closer to herd immunity (assuming this is possible for COVID); to me it seems a smart investment but I suppose time will tell

> ...arguably less secure as it is downloading code from the internet...

Don't essentially all the options involve code downloaded from the internet? And you have to trust the source that it isn't malware or too buggy or insecure?

Are you making a case that the maintainers of this package aren't trustworthy? Or maybe the operators of npmjs.com?

I'm just not understanding the claim this is less secure than various other options.

I think it is a multi dimensional problem. You have programmers who are insightful, and those that need insight provided. You have fast and slow. Ones who document their design and code, and those I have a name I do not use in polite company. You have ones who do a great job exploring a customers detailed needs. Others who are good at debugging other peoples stuff. I am sure there are more aspects that you can rate people on. As to which to hire, depends on availability, money, and need. Do not hire a super star if you need a help desk techie.
There's a fabulous book called:
"BEING WRONG Adventures in the Margin of Error"

It's an entire book about the cognitive experience in the moment of being wrong. It's dotted with examples of how humans hate to be wrong and how they deal (for better or worse) with their aversion to being wrong.

I don't have a problem admitting I'm wrong (I think I did when I was younger, but I've been wrong a lot since so...). However, I find that this type of deep, cerebral meditation on what it means to us to be "wrong" really helps later on when you're dealing with it in real time.
That's actually probably the best approach: make some Citrix hosts running IE11 and let people use those when they actually need to touch the legacy software. Then you can upgrade everything else.

We completed our sharding migration almost a month ago (https://twitter.com/jitl/status/1383235281457876993?s=21), and are now using >1 primaries. The project took a long time and really made the “changing the engine while the car is doing 200MPH” analogy true for me.
If you design them outside of the coding environment, you may find you actually save time overall.
This is literally the Auth0 first contact sales pitch designed precisely to scare you out of even trying to assess the risk of building it yourself.

The reality is, though, it's never been easier than it is today to build secure auth - yes, it's still hard to do it right - but less hard than it ever has been before. So many security features are now a checkbox on a cloud provider's web interface that would have been a manual implementation of the underlying protocol a decade ago. So many languages have matured battle-tested OS libraries for handling the especially sensitive parts like crypto.

This notion that it is a "no-brainer" decision to happily trade your customer database and a % of revenue to remove the burden of stewardship seems crazy to me.

>Isn't the benefit of cheap/free services far outweighed by whatever arbitrary "abuses" that are alleged to have been perpetrated?

No, because pluralism and a robust and diverse ecosystem is more important than cheap shit. Handing effectively entire control over what is visible on the internet to one company is anti-democratic madness. You're basically pulling a "but Mussolini made the trains run on time"
Depending on the outcome this may be the best $5M spent by government this year. If enough people are motivated by the jackpot a lot more than this could be saved from hospitalizations prevented alone

> C can very roughly be treated as a subset of C++

Well, 99% of the time this holds, and you can generally use the same tooling in different modes for both. And they share a preprocessor.

> It's generally very easy to call C code from C++ code, yes. It is not easy to call C++ code from C.

Significantly easier than almost any other pair of languages, though. Especially if you take a little care on the C++ side (extern "C") or use COM or similar.

Again, C is more compatible with C++ than python 2 is with python 3. But not the other way round.

If you're not, you're going to endlessly frustrate yourself when this doesn't do exactly what you need it to.

I guess I'd be more interested if the tool generated python code or something, and then I can manually edit it, or one of my friends could send it to me so I can edit it. Don't get me wrong if this idea worked in practice I'd be all over it, but I don't think it will.

The entire surface area of Mars is less than 5x that of Siberia plus the Sahara desert plus the Australian outback, areas currently not worth developing.
This is likely one of the most cost effective methods for increasing vaccination rates. VAT receipt lotteries are becoming a common tool to help increase VAT compliance among merchants. Consumers ask the merchant for a receipt so that they can enter the lottery, thereby forcing the merchant to pay VAT. The allure of a big payoff can motivate people to change behavior.
I honestly don't know what you're suggesting. A data point isn't motivation, and there is no real way to convert it. This isn't something that can be resolved by making a decision.

It's not that I worked on the wrong project, it's that most months I worked on no project.

I feel like that's pretty normal but it's still bad. I could be just as happy and make more nice things.
Suppose that everyone has raised their house up on a pile of dirt. The rain comes down. It fills up the large ditches between people's houses, and leaves the houses dry.

Suppose I implement better, but imperfect, security. It now costs an attacker $6 million, in salaries, paying for exploits, whatever, to hack my system. They still can only get $5 million in ransom. The attack isn't worth doing anymore, so they find a different business.
This is a great idea, but does need some more hand-holding and fine points. For example, chapter 3 goes into turtle graphics. Great. However, the book doesn't tell students they need to use the Repl.it Python-Turtle repl rather than the standard one they'd been using. Also, the 2nd example in chapter 3 attempts to set the title in the UI:

wn.title("Hello, Tess!")

This fails in Repl.it's turtle repl environment.
I would conclude the opposite. If in fact Earth requires terraforming, that would be the strongest possible argument against any human influence on other planets. Our current irresponsibility should be proof in and of itself that we should not try. To me it feels deeply wrong to use Mars as some sort of testing ground when it is currently pristine.

Also, with a rich and privileged life raft available on Mars, there is no incentive to preserve the world we have now. Elysium comes to mind.
If your incentive is distribution of the money, potentially yes. But like a real lottery I think this is about taking advantage of people's low statistical knowledge banking on hitting it big. I quite like it
It has a lot of additional features that a plain git repo won't provide, such as alternate files based on OS type, hostname etc: https://yadm.io/docs/alternates#
According to nearly everyone - Amnesty International, the UN, the EU, the WHO, Oxfam, the Red Cross, the UK, etc. - Israel is occupying Gaza by virtue of all the control they have over it, even if they don't have troops literally living there. Israel itself says it's not occupying it, because that would be illegal, but they're hardly unbiased. In any case they control all airspace, territorial waters, what goods can be imported, they enter with troops at their leisure, etc. Then there's the West Bank, which even Israel acknowledges it is occupying (except Jerusalem, it still disputes that).

>>>...Israel is rarely the aggressor.

This completely depends on whether you consider military occupation aggression. I certainly would. If Israel stopped occupying Gaza and the West Bank and removed the settlements, then it would be a very different situation. As long as they're occupying Palestine, I don't know how you can see them as not being aggressors.

>>>If I was under occupation I would target the military

I suggest that if you were under military occupation, and you saw fellow civilians injured (or killed) and their homes destroyed, you might consider any methods that could stop that acceptable.
Couldn't the previous user have rigged the app to not send the logout request, or way more plausibly installed a keylogger to get your password, which allows them to log in again at will?

I'm not disagreeing with you, it just seems to only cover a very specific type of attack, if someone else can mess with software. And of course if they can't it is unnecessary.
This is just one state. Count up all the money that's been spent on other 'awareness' propaganda, we could have built dozens of hospitals and provided scholarships for 100's of students.
Famous last words.

As an AI practitioner, I want us invest in research to manipulate other AI military systems but not use AI ourselves.

Take a page from the HFT book.
Focus on “good enough”. A $200 RO system for your drinking and cooking water will manage nearly all of your exposure to water borne contaminants. Then move on to the next item. It’s better to hit all the items with “good enough” solutions than focus time & money reaching perfection on just one.
Are you arguing that the surface area is too small or too inhospitable? What does the development of those areas have to do with Mars?
I completely agree, and as an ML researcher, having that opinion feels heretical. So many people are of a “do no harm” mindset that I worry it means “or I won’t work with you.” And I quite like working with various researchers.

I mentioned it publicly once, and I’m bracing for the day that some established researcher quote tweets it and says “we do not need this kind of thinking in our community, and we have a duty to exclude it” or some such.

I don’t care much though. You seem right, and that’s good enough for me.

Like I already said, inheritance is an advanced programming language feature that is easily misused. To give a specific example out of context would just leave you open to inventing context that would yield inheritance as an improper choice.

There is plenty of advice online already about how to use inheritance properly. In general, inheritance should be used to signal taxonomy. It should not be used to DRY unless there are good extenuating reasons behind that. There are lots of frameworks that require the use of inheritance which is somewhat unfortunate. You are most probably okay until you find yourself starting to form deep inheritance hierarchies. If you do have deep taxonomies, then consider modeling that in data (e.g. widgetType or widgetParent) instead of using inheritance. The decorator pattern is also used a lot when inheritance gets out of hand.
I set up Notion as an intranet for my wife's company and it has been enormously useful for posting company documents, policies, handbooks, announcements, etc. Employees are invited as "guests" at no additional charge.

We also use a Notion database with various views for tracking customers, sales pipeline, rewards, and a lot more.

When we bring on a new customer, we quickly create (from a template) a personalized welcome page for them with an embedded copy of their service agreement and a few other things. Notion can generate a public link so we send this right away and it makes a nice impression.

Performance isn't great but it is so useful for us that I don't mind. I do hope they provide an offline version soon as that is my biggest wish right for it right now.

The point was that relying on marketing messages causes the user having to research themselves what the product is actually good at and what it isn't good at and wasting time because the company isn't upfront the products strengths and weaknesses. The product might be sufficient in the end, but marketing will very rarely tell you what the product is actually sufficient at and what it is not.

The statement wasn't about whether the product is actually good or not, though in extreme cases, yes, the product is worthless while the marketing is all rainbows and sunshine. But relying on marketing is bad for the user in nearly every case, even if the product is good.

And even if you are "one of the good guys", your users won't know that. That's why you should verify from independent sources, or do your own research.

If marketing was really a reliable source of information, reviews, samples, product trials etc. wouldn't be a thing.
Is this really drama? I don't actually care if I'm downvoted. People will always upvote iced cream, and downvote brocolli. It's not hard to see that, or understand why that would be the case. Mostly I find it funny.
There have been a number of recent "mission to Mars" movie all with the same basic plot - a critical system breaks on the long voyage, and they're all gonna die. There's never a backup system for the critical one, no repair parts, either.

It's always either the air recycling system or the water one.

"Stowaway" is the latest in this genre. There, a suitcase size device breaks in this massive spaceship. No backup. Can't fix it. All gonna die.

It's crazy to design a long term deep space ship like that.
What about the practice of letting our five eyes partners collect on Americans, and then obtaining the laundered intel products?

There is a science fiction novel by Stanisław Lem titled Peace on Earth which touches this topic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_on_Earth_(novel)

> The evolution of artificial intelligence has allowed major world powers to sign a rather curious treaty: the Moon is divided into national zones (proportional to each nation's Earth real estate) and all weapons development and production must be moved there to be handled by factories. This is supposed to completely demilitarize Earth, achieving the long-sought dream of world peace. A MAD stabilizing factor is apparently preserved by the ability of countries, in case of war, to quickly ship weapons down from the Moon.

What's your marketing strategy like? I'd try really hard to just get one city to use it or even just one dog park. The largest dog park in my city probably has hundreds to thousands of visitors a week. If you focused on that one park (or one like it) and did fliers and tried to talk to folks in person you might be able to start a "snowball" of a userbase that you could then grow to another large dog park or city.

This would probably be a hail-mary, but I'd even try rebranding to make it hyperlocal to your city. Then build a copy for your nearest other metro area. Then a third before finally coming back to your current branding.
A "signed paper document" or a "treaty" is also meaningless without robust enforcement mechanisms.... or the instant it's in either side's interest to ignore.
No, this merger only affects the vowel in "pen," not "pine." So it would be "pineapple apple pin."

Yes, the movie isn't perfect scientifically, but a) it's extremely entertaining, b) gets people interested and listening to me talking about GR and c) saying Gravity is a better movie (in ref. to science) is imo ridiculous (imo Gravity is a pretentious "sciency" piece of drama set in space, but w/e).

The engineering/materials science/physics ones were fairly easy to identify for me. Usually it would be one or two sentences that were grammatically cohesive but would make a statement that didn't make any sense if you had even a basic understanding of the topic. One that stood out to me was an astrophysics paper that said a planet was orbiting solar wind. I don't have to be a PhD to know that's BS.

The medical and biotech ones are much harder.
I like it. People avoiding vaccines probably have an idea that the vaccine carries a risk that is "low probability, high cost". This is psychologically counterbalanced by the "low probability, high profit" of the lottery.

I think it would be better to figure out how to establish self sufficient colonies capable of growth and replication without assistance. Starting out on planets and moons then in space.
