> However given what we now know for sure we can safely say that border closures without an eradication policy (strict lockdowns and mass testing until the cases are undetectable followed by contact tracing) would not have changed anything.

How do you make the conclusion that without a policy reducing travel wouldn’t have helped? That doesn’t even make sense.
In the same way you handle all people who actively publish hateful comments about protected classes of people, by firing them so they cannot inflict their beliefs on other workers.

I feel like you think you’re posting some sort of gotcha. Do you not believe Apple would’ve done the same thing in those cases? Based on what? Do you have a single example of that happening?

If we don't have a moral right to appropriate unclaimed and abundant natural resources, then we don't have a moral right to our body.

Our common sense, which favors functional societies, sees the granting of a right to appropriate unclaimed and abundant natural resources to reconfigure it into higher value economic resources for our own exclusive use, as just.
That's what I meant by circus as well, but it seemed like the person replying disagreed with me. We have some massive societal problems to deal with relating to wealth inequality, housing, and public health, but none of it seems to matter as a large segment of the population is convinced that, e.g. transgender people wanting to use the restroom that matches their presented gender is the largest ongoing attack on our collective well-being. The "circus" distracting from the general public's lack of bread (healthcare, labor rights, etc.).
I did... I made a decision tree. It's really that easy. The hard part is deciding what requests are sensitive and which aren't and that's a business decision not an engineering decision.

Adding redis or some crazy pub-sub crap to deal with logged out tokens.... that is truly making it far more complex. JWT is all about you deciding which pages truly need real-time "this token is invalid" and which don't.

Once you decide all requests need real-time you either are lying to yourself or JWT truly isn't the correct answer.
Larger sailing vessels (10m+) are actually moving towards solar + hydroelectric with lithium batteries (48v) to power electric engines and generators. Sailing with wind power uses the hydroelectric generators and solar. Motor sailing uses solar and you regen a little bit from hydro or a wind turbine.

WHO bears no responsibility (better word: accountability) as it is comprised of member states who define and fund it, that do. Findings, medical experts, doctors come from member state contributions.

Given conflicting reports, underreporting, unknowns, denials, how this virus transmits, this could only be handled better with crisis policies.

The world didn't operate in crisis mode until now.
No. Can the person do the job includes their obvious drawbacks ( like tendency to steal ). I do not consider writing a book, however salacious and 'wrong' it may be, to be in that particular category.

The guy is an asshole, but it is hard to argue he does not know what he is doing.
I have read no Klingon philosophy but I have no doubt it's way more consistent than Continental philosophy - possibly because it describes a made-up world, which can be shaped to the philosophy, rather than the other way round.

With all continental philosophy, my general attitude is that the best approach is to see it as an attempt to narrate the human condition rather than to theorize about it, in the strict sense. And yes, it's impossible to know which mode a particular Continental philosopher is in. As in, just how seriously is this dude taking himself? (it's mostly dudes.) We can tell from accounts of their lives that they were pretty serious in their pursuits of course - maybe not the French as much, certainly the Germans and Scandinavians.

Comparing this philosophy to demagoguery is a bit of a cheap insult mostly because the Continental philosophers weren't trying to rile the masses up. Maybe Nietzsche made the most serious attempt at doing so, though I think most of his work gained prominence posthumously.

I think the comparison to sci-fi is apt - SF writers perhaps are the most self conscious about the metaphysical implications of their subject matter or storylines, out of all writers, I'd say. But seeing as so much of that era was really a response to the vacuum left by the decline in Christianity's influence, it couldn't help being somewhat bizarre and self-contradictory. It's a tough act to follow if you aren't going to let yourself rely on divine intervention, and have to be the bastard child of Enlightenment thought as well as a millennia of Christian metaphysics. So of course, so much of it sounds like some kooky alien story.

No - it's pricing the value of what the next guy will pay and spreading false narratives to build the bubble/capitalise on more people joining in. You're actively penalised if you don't play this game because you'll miss out on the temporary gains and shorting is dangerous and pointless with such irrational valuation methods.
Two things come across in that interview alone.

He seems temperamentally totally unsuitable to being a manager at a mainstream tech company. Bluntly, he seems like an asshole. Possibly the kind of asshole certain people find funny. But an asshole. To that extent, I'm surprised he got an offer. Possibly he's very good at pretending not to be an asshole in job interviews.

Secondly, the quote from his book in that interview is exactly the kind of thing that, yes, makes you unhireable for management jobs at mainstream tech companies. Hiring people who not only believe that stuff but say it in public, on the record is an insanely big risk. The first female or non-white report who had a bad experience with him would find it extremely easy to sue Apple for discrimination or hostile work environment or whatever and they would win, and Exhibit A would be that quote.

That quote alone is such an obvious and insoluble problem that I can only assume Apple HR is trying right now to figure out why none of this was caught before the offer. He wouldn't have gotten to the onsite if someone had been paying attention.

He's not unemployable. He's not been cancelled. He's a fabulously wealthy public figure. He'll be fine. He'll probably write a book about this experience. And no one has to work for him. Everybody wins.
>or if they voluntarily shut down their international ports

Huh, isn't that unprecedented and would mean involuntary detention of non-citizens by preventing them from leaving?
I think the answer is different - the reason is because it is an 'Industrial Complex' regardless of any actual industry. Essentially if it works in a feedback loop of some sort whether it is 'more draconian security theater to help their career' or funneling money to donors then utility is irrelevant. If it is an end to itself then it is always 'competently done' even if it is a millstone around the neck of a nation.

If your definition of global leadership consists of 2 world wars, several pan-Asian conflicts, war and conflict in areas like the entire Middle East, much of Africa, and large chunks of Central and South America for practically the entire 20th century, then it is clear that our definition of leadership differs greatly.
I don't know how your government handled things, but here they waited until it was clear that the healthcare system was going to implode if nothing was done to implement serious restrictions.

If we had stopped travel, we would have hit that point maybe a week or two later. Travel is linear while community spread is exponential.

In the end, given the incredible efficacy of lockdowns, the total amounts of deaths and infected would have been the same or thereabouts, because the point at which it was clear a lockdown was going to happen would just have come sooner.

If you base your public health measures on number of infections, and if community spread is exponential, then adding a dozen cases from travel doesn't change the point at which cases start to decrease, because the cases decreasing is contingent with them reaching a certain amount to begin with.

Of those making the minimum wage or less, 62% are women and 38% are men.

If we have to think about women in the workforce, then let’s start by considering that the majority of people working awful jobs for awful are women and that even if they leave those jobs they still have a wage gap inflicted upon them.

The minimum wage is meant to help people by enforcing fairness, and in this case it will likely help women.
Also WHO told people not to wear masks and that it could actually make it more likely to get covid (CDC echoed this as well). “But it was justified lying to protect the mask supply!”—some people already had masks, and didn’t wear them because of this. I had someone literally get mad at me and block me because I said wearing a mask was obviously a good idea, and an N95 is more likely to protect you than a cloth mask.
I'd suggest Popper's Paraphrase needs some deeper thought, as today it has been reduced to people trying to end arguments by yelling "KARL POPPER!" at people who step out of line.
they do. Apple is mainly marketing and lawyers with a splash of engineering in the back room.

they mainly removed apps around covid-19. They essentially made themselves the arbiters of truth the moment April was there.
One of the movies in which they mention men are overrepresented is Pirates of the Caribbean (2007). I don't think overrepresentation indicates gender bias in that movie. It's a movie about pirates in 1728. Most of the characters in the movie are pirates, and only one pirate was female, if I remember correctly.

I wonder if a completely unbiased movie industry would still have an overrepresentation of men simply because historically, a lot of "exciting" jobs, such as pirates, were done mostly by men. It would be hard to make a historically accurate film about gangsters, bank robbers, politicians, war, etc. without a lot of males roles.

Well it isn't unprecedented, especially not anymore. For one they could technically fly in Iceland but with the ash in the air it was dangerous to do so. While people were certainly annoyed nobody tried to call it a crime or denied its necessity.

In practice it is more "Send them to their home country's embassy and it is their nation's job to take them back safely. They'll likely be a bit cross but if they mess up and infect themselves repatriating without proper quarantine procedures you can't blame us."

> Equating all Jews with Israel is anti-Semitic because Israel does not represent all Jews and isn't exclusively populated by Jews.

I think I agree with at least the letter of this claim, but I'm very puzzled at what you mean to say by it. I'm not sure whether we have a real disagreement or are talking past each other.

Throwing the word "anti-Semitism" around in the context of the politics of the Holy Land robs it of meaning. The present Israeli–Palestinian enmity has fundamentally different bases, only tenuously connected to the Western tradition culminating in "anti-Semitism". To call one by the other's name is a rhetorical trick to point at an outward similarity (hostility directed toward a majority-Jewish group) to equate Palestinian grievances with a more familiar form of Jew-hatred, to paint them as illegitimate and thereby dismiss them out of hand. And this has never been such a simple black-and-white conflict.

> For eg. Obama admin had narrowed down Ebola and contained it[1].

It was great that they contained Ebola. But, containing a disease that makes you literally bleed from your eyes and requires bodily fluid contact and has an outbreak that starts in a low-density area of Africa, is much different than containing a disease where people who have the disease may only have a fever, and has airborne transmission, and the outbreak starts in a heavily populated city in China.

I think the COVID-19 pandemic has shown a lot of us that actual physical isolation from others can be much more detrimental to our mental well-being than we thought, even for those of us who were already used to being on our own for prolonged periods of time.

I've been wrestling with this as we work on finalizing the new "RTK Query" APIs for Redux Toolkit. I'd love to have some auto-generated TS API docs embedded in the hand-written Markdown pages. My biggest questions are things like how to present reasonable details on some of our typedefs, which can get insanely complex and readers don't need to see all the internal sub-types.

I recently opened up an RTK issue asking for suggestions on TS API ref integration:

This. Anachronism is not the answer. These newly built tall ships will never be anything more than in essence a vanity project for brands that want to highlight their environmentalism.

If you want an efficient modern cargo sail ship, you should start with freestanding self trimming wingsails. These have roughly 3x more lift vs drag at the same sail area. But far more importantly: they can be controlled entirely by deflecting a small control surface, similar to the rudder on an aircraft. This can be automated nearly trivially with commodity hydroelectric actuators, redundant electronics, etc.

Making those out of a sustainable material vs the common composites is an open project. But I strongly suspect even using modern materials, over the lifetime of the ship, such a ship would have better net carbon footprint than modern tall ships, if you're honest about the staggering amount of labor that goes into building and operating tall ships, and the footprint that has.
I will be perfectly honest. The way things are now, I would not be surprised if people just signed w/e petition was waved in front of them. Save the whales, kill the snails, can I go back to work?

You keep parroting "complexity", yet in your original argument you stated that for "sensitive" requests, you should just hit the backend anyway.

So that implies that you already have a database setup and you are already using it in your app. That means there is zero extra operational or deployment complexity (compared to implementing a completely new and different bloated system.)

As for development complexity?

Feynman wasn't ordinary - https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/finding-the-next-e...

"Feynman was universally regarded as one of the fastest-thinking and most creative theorists in his generation. Yet, it has been reported-including by Feynman himself-that he only obtained a score of 125 on a school IQ test.

I suspect that this test emphasized verbal, as opposed to mathematical, ability. Feynman received the highest score in the country by a large margin on the notoriously difficult Putnam mathematics competition exam, although he joined the MIT team on short notice and did not prepare for the test. He also reportedly had the highest scores on record on the math/physics graduate admission exams at Princeton.

It seems quite possible to me that Feynman's cognitive abilities might have been a bit lopsided — his vocabulary and verbal ability were well above average, but perhaps not as great as his mathematical abilities."

That is an extremely matter-of-fact reply, and I salute you. I disagree with "WHO bears no responsibility" insofar as the leadership of organizations ought to be able to be held to account. You might need to elaborate on what "crisis policies" you would find acceptable.

So, Trump (or any American president) was supposed to dictate the response to Covid for the entire world?

I recall many “powerful” people and news orgs ridiculing Trump’s actions early in the pandemic even so far as claiming in some cases to never even use a vaccine created under his administration. A vaccine that the same people now herald as a savior once the current administration took charge. Is that the leadership that you are talking about?
> Our common sense, which favors functional societies, sees the granting of a right to appropriate unclaimed and abundant natural resources to reconfigure it into higher value economic resources for our own exclusive use, as just.

Just as our common sense, which favors functional societies, sees taxation as just. But just because we see something as useful and just doesn't mean there is an inherent moral underpinning to it.

> if we don't have a moral right to appropriate unclaimed and abundant natural resources, then we don't have a moral right to our body.

Maybe we don't have this inherent right? It is a fairly recent development for most humans. That's not to say that we shouldn't uphold this right, just that it's not inherent.

Whenever I install a new distro, I never format /home partition. Also, I rename my home directory to <username>_old and create a new one. I start with mv of the most common files/directories like .bashrc/.mozilla etc and gradually move more as I need. This way after 2-3 months, I've left the old/unused cruft behind and can remove the _old home directory (in practice I keep them around because the size is small since I keep most of my documents in a separate partition and just symlink to that). If I'm changing computers, I restore the home from daily backup, rename it to _old and do the same thing.

No, admittedly Apple needed to a little more background research to know in advance that if he joined them then they would be successfully sued by the first female report he had a problem with.

Examples of the background research they could have done:

1. talk to any of the employees who organized the petition

2. read his book! It's widely available! This is a guy whose hiring was literally a positive news story yesterday https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-hires-chaos-monkeys-au.... When you hire people who are going to be news you do a little background. It's a short book! Apple screwed up!
