Within 20 years every newborn will be gene edited.

Likely, human intelligence and world view will end up being derived from a handful of genes, thus further blinding humanity to data outside of our worldview.

Imagine a world where everyone has the same level, and type, of emotional response to data, feels the same as a result of environmental stimuli, eg cold/warm/wet etc.

Imagine a world where if your next door neighbor cannot figure out something, no one ever can, for there are no geniuses or dullards.

The sameness of thought will make future society dull, compared to the Amish.

(Think it won't happen that fast? Laws will prevent it? Imagine your neighbour flies off-shore, and comes back with his child gene edited for appearance, intelligence, health. Now you are about to have a child. What do you do? Compared to the neighbour's child, yours will be dull, sickly, ugly. What will you do?

Now imagine the rich and powerful do this, bit you cannot afford it?

1%er indeed.)

I prefer virtualization of Qubes OS. It allows to use any browsers and even has Whonix working out of the box.
There is nothing in the article to suggest Amazon broke the law or interfered with the union vote other than someone who saw security open the package locker. Nobody saw the ballots being handled or moved. Nobody saw fake ballots being added. And based on the final vote, it would have had to been a massive fraud for the final vote to be 70%+ "no".
I think there is some evidence that lockdowns at least offered partial mitigation, but my memory is fuzzy on that. They certainly didn't stop transmission but they may have blunted the rate a bit.

I also looked into the mask literature when the pandemic first started and agree there is no evidence to support their effectiveness (unless they are N95s). Even the meta-analysis published by the WHO stated there was no evidence for their effectiveness but tentatively recommend their use as the cost of mask usage was low.

I will add that most of the studies had healthcare workers wearing masks, and did not test the combination of both parties wearing masks. It is entirely possible that everyone wearing masks + distancing + limited contact duration may be "effective". In this case it's less about being actually protected (N95) and more about lowering the probability of transmission events, which our common leaky/crappy masks may be able to accomplish under the aforementioned conditions.

I doubt(/hope) no one believes that if I take a healthy and infected person, give them both surgical masks, and lock them in a small room together for a few hours, that the masks will prevent the healthy person from contracting covid.

Should ICANN open up ccTLDs, .eth is going to have a collision with Ethiopia. Whether Ethiopia is interested in operating a TLD is another story.
I agree that it is weird to go on a rant on UI design on a site which clearly leaves as much to be desired as this one.

It often amazes me how little barrier people seem to have to point fingers instead of first reflecting on themselves and their own actions. Because let's be honost, this isn't some constructive feedback blog post on how he thinks they could improve it. It's a rant after someone nearly ran out of gas.
I'm not sure about that, I can't remember having experienced it. I also think it's dependent on the region.

That is very theoretical. In practice, petroleum markets go to great pains to deal with transportation and storage. Look up "netback pricing" as a start.

Crude is not an identical commodity in the sense that is assumed by the Law Of One Price. There are some crude specifications that certain refineries prefer not to process, either due to sulfur or viscosity or other characteristics for which the refinery may be ill equipped.

https://www.mckinseyenergyinsights.com/resources/refinery-re...

Crude transportation takes time and money. Transportation prices rise in correlation to crude prices, but they matter if you are determining the relative marketability of different products sourced around the globe.

Arbitrage works worst when transactions are lossy, costly, delayed, and unique, as is the case in the petroleum market.

> You can't really expect the general public to use the command line (anymore).

Yes, good point. I started reading the linked OSM wiki page, and the more I scrolled, the more I understood why Ben had this service.

However the energy he spent on the service, he could've spent on a single, simple, downloadable app, but what do I know. I don't build anything.
Why should roads have to make a profit?
Glad to hear it. One of the goals was to make it as easy as possible to get started with.
There are two extremes here. One extreme is excessive work while the other is no work. In between the two lies a range of working hours which is tolerable to humans.
> magic cures like HCQ

There are a number of studies where it seems to have been used quite effectively (and other studies with different outcomes). To label it a "magic cure" seems quite ignorant.

Its same in Indian IT. When I joined Infosys straight out of university, my salary was approx `$350` per month.

They told client, I have 2 years of experience as Informatica developer and charged $50 per hour.

Before joining the project, I had never seen the Informatica tool.
Hahaha. NO mate, but good marketing copy (thanks for the idea;)).

I believe Mighty works mighty different. They have a focus on crystal clear ultra fast video streaming of the viewport (I'm not sure of their setup, but I've seen suhail tweet about GPUs and one tweet of an image of a "MPEG compression textbook"). I've considered experimenting with ffmpeg as well, but I'm satisfied with my current solution's usability and responsiveness, and low lag over a range of bandwidths, which I prioritize over high framerate, and for what I originally wanted it for a high frame rate didn't matter.

People have often commented that the frame rate is too low, or they would like me to make them a "co-browsing / remote browser video streaming" system to stream videos or watch them together. I just think doing streaming really well at high volume is both incredibly expensive and very difficult. I do this alone and I'm coming to the end of my (very gratefully received) GCP "cloud for startups" free credits, so "I have no plans to announce at this time" about doing ffmpeg or not :)
>> You're not going to get across the notion of an organization doing the "watching" sinisterly without additional context

> Of course you do. Consider "Do you ever feel like you're being watched?" versus "Do you ever feel like someone's watching you?"

I was talking about in that example. I was not making a claim about every arbitrary sentence containing the phrase "being watched".

Understand that if you add enough contortions and make a sentence jarring enough, you won't get anything across without additional context. (To a human I mean. I guess I have to add that caveat because other you'll post another rebuttal about how a sufficiently strong AI would parse it just fine.)
Made a little money for a lot of time spent. It was fun though.
Same here over in Sweden, I would go so far as to say that it's gone complete genericized trademark. I would have to think in order to even come up with the proper generic name for Tipp-Ex (i.e. something like "correction fluid"), and it feels like nobody would understand me.

Disclosure: I don't use correction fluid, although I remember owning a bottle of Tipp-Ex sometime in the 90s when handling printed paper was more common for me.
What's with all the nitpicking? I just don't get it. What is claimed today is entirely reasonable.

The landing page says SIMILAR to Java. It doesn't say runs identically on exactly all versions of every system that Java programs will run on.

Also, this is a C binary we are talking about. Fundamentally, a C binary will not run on multiple architectures (at least not without some sort of special translation mechanism like Rosetta or qemu user-mode emulation).

"Modern desktops and servers" is still pretty much x86-64 for most of the world. Yes, I know there are ARM servers and I'm typing this on an M1 Mac and I own nearly all kinds of Raspberry Pi's (even the minor revs of some models).

Depends on your use case

I would suggest soufflé (https://souffle-lang.github.io/) if you're batching data through for static analysis.

DDLog (https://github.com/vmware/differential-datalog) if you want a rule-engine within your interactive application, to encode decision procedures and business rules.

If you actually want this to drive the views of a (web-)application, I don't think we're really there yet. We have to wait at least for the next generation of developments. But you can give it a try with datascript https://github.com/tonsky/datascript

My heuristic is that most health issues are non-linear with a "healthy middle ground".

Not everything has a healthy middle ground though - work could be like radiation exposure (linear no threshold model). That's probably more for "work-related toxicity", both mental and physical, rather than work itself.
Last time I looked it was significantly faster. Last stats I saw had Presto in the 1-to-several-seconds range and CH in the 10/100 ms range.
Definitely believable since sustained stress is highly related to sustained blood pressure issues. Sustained stress onto your heart damages your heart and other organs such as kidney and your liver. Ask any doctor who has even remote specialization or expertise with heart disease.

Stress is directly correlational to heart disease.

If you do experience palpitation or risk of high blood, I recommend you regularly check your blood pressure 3 times a day (morning, mid-afternoon, and evening)

Please note that I am not a doctor, but have been consulted by them after expressing concerns after prolonged periods of stress and lack of sleep due to overwork in both work and school/side-projects.

Note that your health and life is more important than work or that side project you are hustling on; and you should be able to ask for sick time off, if you need a health reset. I myself feared from taking time off because of fear of getting behind on projects; and it worsened my situation.

Be sure to work out regularly and maintain a relatively healthy life style.

Too much of anything is bad for you; work, success, and stress included.

If you are less than 30; which a lot of FAANG and startups prey on, then your tolerance to working long hours is pretty high.
"fun" in quotes. The tooling around a project may be fun, in the same way that junk food is delicious. But ultimately, it delivers almost no value to you. I think the reason so many hobbyists do this, me included, is that there's no _need_ to generate value from your hobby, and thus, no incentive to push for the actual project completion!

A business that does this same thing will soon bankrupt (or swallow more VC funding!)
You might be right. I don't think that fits with seeing restaurants open and unmasked (since you need it off to eat and drink) but maybe the sum total of meeting in person is still much lower than "behind closed doors". The news (when I used to watch it) certainly highlighted that going to hostess club had a few spreader events like where 80% of the people in the club got COVID. I don't know how common that was, I just know it was in the news last may/june (don't watch the news much)
"Agenda" on iOS does something very similar.

I've never really gotten into it but still paid once or twice because I loved the idea so much :-)
iOS already supports bitcode deployments to the app store, I believe this is the direction they are taking to solve this problem.
I would differentiate between “working” and “sitting in the office”. My grandfather was a passionate carpenter. His workweek was always at least 60 hours. Sourcing wood, visiting clients, organizing everything, etc. He was in good shape and died at 92 years age. Being forced to sit in the office 45 hours a week I don’t think that I reach age above 60 years. This sitting whole day in the noisy environment was destroying my health. Luckily pandemic came and I was able to work from home.
[Update] We were able to solve the T-Mobile issues. The main one left to be solved now is Spectrum.
> JWT is awesome.

That's generally my thought, too. In my career the authentication sophistication was always a trade off (effort vs security) based on how paranoid the org felt about certain things.

Having worked on PHP/Rails/.NET Webforms/Node.js apis/C# webapis the session management techniques are all very different.

Having run high traffic websites also, the ability to offload logged-in sessions into JWT was really, really nice. Not having to prune auto-generated sessions from disk of PHP applications is a nice thing to not worry about.
Remarkable work, I wasn't aware that it was possible to image transcription at the ribosome like that.

Google's translation is not wrong, but the original phrase is too convoluted...

I would translate it as "debería haber estado vigilada". DeepL translate it as "tendría que haber sido vigilada". Both are much easier to understand.
Nice linguistic trick of trying to just mix "homogenous populations" and "good areas/bad areas" as if they're interchangeable /s

There's definitely huge variation in quality of areas in Tokyo (more or less parks, more or less access to services etc). Less so now, but many areas had a good amount of crime too! Loads of people don't want to live in areas cuz of the "bad vibes". People get stuff stolen here too! And there's a "good school"/"bad school" thing for certain areas.

But there's a baseline that is still something you can survive with. So yeah maybe you have a shitty environment but it's not "the entire bottom has fallen out" like chunks of the US. The schools have (some) money, and (relatively) clean water comes out of the pipes. And if you make very little money there is some semi-public housing that can fit a family of four.

And poorer families are given cash, not food stamps with 1000 exceptions to them.

All this sociological exoticism (mainly from Americans) is really missing the forest for the trees. A lot of it is the result of giving people some means to survive, even in difficult times. The US would change a lot if it could adopt that attitude.

It's all good, I enjoy hearing your perspective! To be honest I've never been greatly interested in programming languages as a subject in its own right. As such, and as you correctly assume, I only got into Dart because of Flutter. Since then I've used it for backend services as well, and it's very pleasant to me.

A lot of it probably comes from the excellent devex, but it strikes a nice balance between dynamic get-shit-done-ness that you find in JS/Python, and the more verbose, safe, structured nature of C#/Java.

Global imports, method cascading, extensive list comprehensions, named arguments, inference being heavily encouraged, flexible constructors. It's been a while since I did any serious large scale coding in C#, but I just remember it being more of a verbose slog.
Middle English (and Early Modern English) was spelled as it was spoken, to such an extent that there wasn’t consistent spelling, and people would just write whatever sequence of letters would get pronounced as the desired sound.
While having to use either a custom installer, or if you don't trust any third party app [1] alternatively using ADB (or possibly the package manager directly if you have root) to install split APKs, is somewhat of a hassle [2], the more annoying part is that grabbing an APK from a random device is no longer enough to cover all screen densities, languages and whatever other criteria Google uses to split APKs [3], so good luck finding an older APK version if you're using some exotic screen density or (more likely) language.

Curiously enough by the way, Google themselves only recently added a feature to the Play Store which officially allows directly sharing (free) apps with nearby devices. I wonder how that is supposed to work going forward when app bundles will become more and more widespread – can you then only share apps with somebody having the same screen density and language setting?
Or can apps at least still fall back to dynamically using the assets for whatever language/screen density was available just like they would today with a monolithic APK?

[1] As a perhaps more trustworthy alternative, there's SAI on FDroid (https://f-droid.org/de/packages/com.aefyr.sai.fdroid/), which a quick search indicates that it might be able to read and install APKMirror's bundle format, too.

[2] Also the fact that it makes Titanium Backup semi-useless for those apps, even though in other respects I still like it better than any of the other alternative backup apps I've tried.

[3] CPU architecture at least, although there's less variation there because almost everything will be either 32- or 64-bit ARM, and even before App Bundles some apps would already ship separate APKs for different CPU architectures.
That's certainly a reasonable explanation for why they do it. But as part of our critical infrastructure, should we allow them to trade security for potential profit? I'm sure there are all sorts of added risks they could take to increase profits, but that doesn't mean that we, as a nation, should allow it.
It seems like this strategy didn't work so well in the past - do we know the reason why?
The more cases you have, the more overwhelm your testing system is. The difference in death rate is most probably due to the fact that Finland was testing more positive cases (relatively) to Sweden.

Depression?
Umm, what's the mechanism of this bug?
A close person suffered a stroke before 60 because of just that. It's the fastest way to die: Work in an office your whole life. Of course, now he's depressed and feels like he lost out on life by working too much, which is true.

He started training really hard and got very fit. But the source of the depression will never go away.

If you can avoid interface{} you should, ie. by declaring interfaces to types and using them explicitly. You can then mix your own types, and still be protected by the type system.
As well as stress of work itself, overworking makes you time poor, so you're less likely to eat healthily, get a full night's sleep regularly, exercise, get fresh air etc.

& then may be prone to letting off steam with unhealthy habits — e.g. rich meals / takeaways too often, too many beers after work.

Feels like the impacts really compound. I worked a high stress/hours job for awhile & really glad I could get out of it. Certainly wasn't worth the money/quality of life trade-off.
> By that logic, diligent savers who put their money in a savings account to earn interest isn't "fair". It's fundamentally more fair to invest in expensive heavy machinery and dig precious metals out of the ground.

If by “diligent savers” you mean the Queen of England who was given 10% of the total supply of British pounds on day one, then yes, it very much isn’t fair. The Queen’s fortunate genetics in relation to her preferential access to British pounds, and the interest income generated from that preferential access is just one step removed from $BIG_VC getting in on an ICO, pre-ICO or premine by virtue of having insider connections.

Also: of course digging up gold out of the ground is more fair than effortlessly profiting from your country’s political system.
I think your format is closer to ideal than a few others I have seen. Like json, you don't have to prefix size of lists or objects, which is a plus (or in some cases needed) for streaming. Strings can be chunked, which can serve the same purpose for huge strings. The power of json is in its simplicity though. And a binary format should retain that a much as possible. The big advantage of binary formats is not the 'conciseness' (there are compression algorithms that can help with that, where needed) but the reduction in lines of code and CPU cycles needed to serialize and deserialize. Json requires escaping/unescaping of strings and base-2 vs base-10 conversion of numbers. A binary format should mostly solve these and beyond that be as simple to implement bug-free and secure as possible.
