People don't make these decisions for technical reasons only. Career wise it is a bad choice to spend your time working on pre-existing technologies. You don't become a distinguished engineer by iterating on existing technologies. You become one by being the creator of something new.

I think QUIC is great and does a good job solving the problems it was designed to solve. It is disingenuous to pretend these decisions were made only for technical reasons.
Many cases when you want cert will probably be nostd anyway so it is definitely worth pursuing given all the other advantages the language has. I'm just being grumpy because I love the language but I am a fan of batteries included languages. Or at least a thick stdlib and a boost-like thing. That is partly influenced by my primary dev environment being airgapped, and my secondary one being behind nexus/solarcube.

There is some precedent for a fresh (though limited) copyright in previously unpublished manuscripts for example, and it is common for museums to control the copyright for the only high quality photograph of otherwise out of copyright art works and as such charge for it.

Yes, but in this case that was just good luck. As the article mentions, the low-altitude behavior is because of concerns regarding dust. It was not intended to provide robustness in the face of glitches in the optical navigation system.

The entire history of web browsers, from just about day two, demonstrates the folly of this approach.

The strictest, most standards-compliant browser in the world dies a quick death, every time. The most widely-used and popular browser play fast and loose with everything. If they're powerful enough, they retroactively get their fast-and-loose playing recognized as a standard.

It has been strongly asserted by the scientific community that Covid-19 bears no hallmarks of an engineered virus. In fact, no one in this thread is even suggested it was engineered. That's the whole point of the article. The "accidental leak" theory is being conflated with "engineered weapon theory". The only options on the table are "animal -> human" or "animal -> lab -> human". Both are plausible and we have no conclusive evidence one way or the other.
I love all knowledge management attempts, but i often feel that something has to exist to help me also retain some of the knowledge - ala Spaced Repetition.

Ie i think we need a tool that helps manage knowledge, but then also help you pick a slice of that knowledge to ensure you have memorized, retained. A cold storage warm cache sort of approach.

Does Innos help at all with retention?
Pop-science article? This is Nature, one of the most respected science journals, and they have linked to the full peer-reviewed paper in their journal.

Besides, in contrast to your background of 'someone who has some mates who are doctors who once kind-of described it to him', the journal article in Nature was actually written by 13 PHD's who specialise in immunology.
I got a rapid test after getting the first vaccine -- I was told that there were more than one type of antibodies, the vaccine only provides one, so they can test for the others to see if you had the virus proper.
And to me this is the root of the problem. Developer experience is awesome so fuck the users, the usability, the performance, the scalability of the business, the time it take to build anything, the stability, the security, the robustness, and whoever will come in 2 years after we left to maintain this. I'll be gone by then.

Sounds like a plan. Developer experience rules!

An idea that I really like is to do what countries like Singapore and the Scandinavian countries do: create a public sovereign wealth fund, and then do what States like Alaska do: divert the dividends from the fund directly to the people.

Alaska's Permanent Fund is only allowed to invest in Alaskan companies and is "only" $75B in size (https://www.alaskajournal.com/2021-02-24/fund-continues-bull...), and even then an Alaskan resident would have received $2,000 in 2015 simply for existing: https://pfd.alaska.gov/Division-Info/Summary-of-Applications...

By scaling up the size and scope of the fund, you can conceivably get to a place where the dividend can work out to $10k+ per person per year.
I'm totally with you on this.
Following the Politics, Not the Science: Lab-Leak Hypothesis
I think OP is saying they're testing to see if they have COVID now. Hoping not to be reinfected.
PCR tests only detect live virus, not antibodies.

there are several antibody tests for covid. As far as I'm aware, the vaccines only trigger the anti-spike protein antibodies, so if you test positive for other types of covid-19 antibodies, you've probably had it.
Your suggestion implies that the source country owns the brains, not the individuals involved.

Should people really have to swim upstream all their lives in societies they don’t want to be in?

As an emigrant, and the owner of a brain, I find that idea abhorrent.
At a blush I agreed with you, but then I thought a bit more, and now disagree.

The presumption is that the local intellects will be developed, if just developed nations would not take them. This is not as likely.

The counter, where foreign educated people come back to home country is. This way the birth nation gains the foreign nation's intellect.(plenty of anecdotal evidence)

Will this be the case all the time? Of course not. The follow up question is, how many will return, where is the break even, where is the educational level, etc

Taken to the extreme is the US Government's TreasuryDirect website, where individuals can buy savings bonds. Instead of allowing you to type your password, they render a "virtual keyboard" that you have to use your mouse to click the keys one by one.

PCR tests don't detect antibodies, they detect active virus. Antibody tests may be what you're thinking of.

See: https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/coronavirus-d...

I don't know the answer to your question, but it would make sense unless the antibody test(s) look for a specific type of antibody to COVID-19 that is produced naturally when infected and not just any antibodies that might be produced when vaccinated.

>> Who knew such an admiral goal: "having women entering the workforce en mass" would have such a depressing result: "it is now much more difficult for a family to survive on one income"

That's kind of expected. Our society/economy/marketing are designed to get people to spend 100 percent of their income or more. So when families get 2 incomes it causes inflation or enables people to buy more stuff (iPhones) or whatever until they're spending the same percentage. Aside from not actually saving the extra income, the obvious downside is to screw single people by raising prices without raising their income.

No idea what the solution is. I think in general we need better ways to save for retirement and also need to reduce the cost of living/rent. Doing both those things together seems to go against nature - if people have it they will spend it. BTW by "people" I mean in general, there are obviously individuals who live differently.
When they say thing you don't agree with it most certainly is.
I think that what this ignores is that if anybody has clout over behavior, it's Google. They don't have to break their own Angular Material autocomplete or burden devs with unpredictable behavior like this.

Well the alternatives may not be perfect, this clearly isn't either. They can create videos rebuking disabling password fields, or put warnings in the webmaster console, or apparently just release a vague statement about how "disabling password fields or disabling pasting in to them will now majorly detract your placement in search results" and turn the Marketing/SEO team against bad security contractors.

I think that most companies that sponsor projects are companies that are using the projects. IIUC https://github.com/nidhaloff/igel is your most popular project. Who is using it?

Don't expect the companies to pay. You can not force them to pay. It's a project with a MIT license. (Perhaps this is obvious for you, but a few days ago someone posted a rant by another developer because some companies were using his MIT-license project and only making a $500 annual money contribution.)

I think one possibility is to write blog post about examples of using the project to solve interesting problems. It's important that they are interesting to get traction here and in other platforms. At the bottom, add a remake explaining that you are the main developer of the project and you'd like sponsors. (I can't guaranty that this will work.)

Also, this helps as an extended documentation of the project and to get more traffic from google and to get more users. All of that can help to increase the user base and hopefully find an sponsor. (I can't guaranty that this will work.)

Yeah, I dealt with COM/CORBA at its tail end too. It was horrible, but could be made to work. Was forced to use it as a key piece in a collaborative testbed and simulation framework running and communicating at 4 research centers (UK, US east, US west, AUS).

> a cheap jab at consultants

Understandable, I'm among the first to admit many consultants deserve it. One time a co-worker and I travelled from NY to our corporate mothership in VA for meetings. We got there and our first meeting was delayed. I took out my laptop and started working, trying to get some code in while we waited. My coworker took out his newspaper and read that. Same coworker told me 'He always makes sure he comes out ahead on expenses.'

> moving up the seniority ladder also meant more PowerPoints, presentations, and buzzwords.

I hear that. I get to code maybe 20% of my time now as a tech lead on a bigger project. Previous tech lead positions were on small projects where everyone needed to code as well as wear their other hats. It's a step up in pay and, in a way, impact, but I question whether I like it. I may stay pure technical. I am at least getting to code Rust in my personal time.

> get people to love my ideas, just not speak out against them

I wish more people knew that. We tried to convert people to the OASIS XDI specification, but I think W3C and others saw it as a rejection of their approach. Arguing with them to convert them just made them more vocal in their objections and eventually the standard's ratification failed. Was a decent spec, though it did need a fair bit of supporting specs still.

A conspiracy theory is an argument from first principles (rather than evidence, it is a claim based on capability and incentives). That is very hard to do right, and most conspiracy theorists have more misses than hits.

That being said, it doesn't invalidate the conspiracy theorists. They fill a useful role - public discourse has three unwritten rules. Assume everyone is speaking in good faith, assume consequences of their actions that they didn't advocate for are accidental and assume that they are only working with information in the public sphere.

All three of these assumptions are unsound, so public discourse is always slightly divorced from reality. We can't have discourse without those rules, but the crazies provide a helpful chorus of "but what if we assume bad faith/indirect action/private knowledge". These ideas need to be in the conversation, even if only peripherally. It is pretty obvious that there is a lot of that negative stuff going on, even if we don't know which specific cases are coincidence vs intent.

Specifically, under 10.1:

> Offer the option to display text during entry, as masked text entry is error-prone.

And under 10.2.1:

> Support copy and paste functionality in fields for entering memorized secrets, including passphrases.

(... snip ...)

> Allow at least 64 characters in length to support the use of passphrases. Encourage users to make memorized secrets as lengthy as they want, using any characters they like (including spaces), thus aiding memorization.
Do not impose other composition rules (e.g. mixtures of different character types) on memorized secrets.
Do not require that memorized secrets be changed arbitrarily (e.g., periodically) unless there is a user request or evidence of authenticator compromise. (See Section 5.1.1 for additional information).

The various non-novel corona- and rhinoviruses that cause common cold don't seem to have had any problems playing catch with the human immune system for who knows how many thousand years.

influenza mutates much faster than the covid family [1] - looking at the other coronavirus family there is plenty of reason to have expectations that this will become an endemic mild seasonal cold.

Kind of weird to think of mining as a way to reduce your carbon emissions but in some cases it certainly can be.

I'll definitely look more into heatpumps when it comes time to replace my furnace or air conditioner, but my understanding is they perform quite poorly in Canadian winters.

> When it went from being focused on long term stability to a rolling release

The approach to "long term stability" has not changed whatsoever. The only difference is whether the updates are delivered as point-release bundles every 6 months, or incrementally. And it's supported for 5 years instead of 10, which is in-line with other free LTS distros.

I know smaller companies that pay more, give more, have more free time and you're closer to product/service/customer and more engaged - some even pay you to take vacation and reward you for things you do outside of work.
>I was under the impression that any mutations to the spike proteins would make the current vaccines useless and would require changes to the vaccines just like the flu shot . Isn't this the case ?

No, it is not the case.

You don't just make one antibody that targets the entire spike that would be thrown off by a mutation.

>Human Antibodies Target Many Parts of Coronavirus Spike Protein

https://directorsblog.nih.gov/2021/05/18/human-antibodies-ta...

So far, all the claims that a variant (London variant, South African variant, Indian variant) would be immune to the current vaccine have turned out to be unwarranted.
The chart you linked to doesn't support your own point. Immigrants as a percentage of population is no higher after the rise in absolute number of immigrants shown there. In fact for the first few years there, it's signifcantly lower. What I get from that chart is that as a proportion of the population immigration has been relatively constant except for the baby boom period, where local demographics were briefly enough to supply the labour force.

As for your second link, I have no idea what you're trying to get at, but it frankly sounds a bit racist.

Given that for the last part of the 19th century and the first part of the 20th century immigrants could basically get off a boat in New York and enter the US or Canada without much restriction and get citizenship quite easily compared to now, this is beyond silly. Literal boatloads of eastern Europeans and Italians (not "north western Europe") arrived in the first part of the 20th century. And built the backbone of the US and Canadian economies in that period.

Finally, northwestern Europeans stopped wanting to _come_ to North America after the early 60s. There was no need for them to emmigrate. My own father's economic fortunes would have been far better off if he'd just stayed in Germany.

While I'm a skeptic, this isn't much of a debunking video.

He's using analysis of a FLIR video to debunk the David Fravor story while incorrectly attributing it as a video taken by Fravor's plane (which it's not, and doesn't take a lot of research to discover this).

I mean if you're going to the effort of debunking UFO videos, at least try and appear to be more credible than the people screaming "ALIENS!!"
