It's such a pain. I've had all kinds of oddities when using type="password" for private data. A lot of password managers would see that and assume a password and fill in the email in whatever the form element before it was. You can't tell them not to, either!

I've also had to scrub data when users somehow put their credit card numbers into public fields. Still no explanation on that one, but it happened with enough users that our only guess was browser auto-fill gone awry and people blindly hitting submit.
We can now make the safest, most effective vaccines ever in 2 days. We're making huge advancements with mRNA. CRSPR is still a new technology that is being rapidly improved. Last years big biotech story was that we have more or less solved the protein folding problem, which effectively gives us strong predictive power. So yes, it's happening now. We're still in the early stages of it, but it is without a doubt happening.

Edit: adding from a comment below, there are real world instances of lab grown tissues being transplanted into patients. That is also in the early stages, but has evidence of real world progress.
> For me, this is a textbook consequence of a "free market" based system.

Free markets plus regulatory capture (and/or collusion). Unless you're arguing that those additional constraints are inherent to free markets then I think there exist other viewpoints which allow one to be self-consistent.

> Everyone everywhere on the internet thinks that the "other side" lacks critical thinking skills.

This point cannot be emphasized enough. I have encountered people on the opposing side of an issue who have stronger critical thinking skills than people who I agree with (and probably even myself). The differences come about due to a differences in the foundations of our knowledge or on pivotal points where neither side can claim to have an definitive answer.

I’m not an expert by any means, just trying to reason this out logically.

I don’t know too much about COVID, so I’ll use Flu as an example.

Let’s say your statement is true. You get antibodies for the specific strain of Flu that you caught and the response was greater than vaccine. Flu vaccines include multiple strains. So even if your premise was true, you should get the vaccine to protect against other strains right? Unless you are advocating for catching every strain of Flu?

You'd probably do it under the table. I once spent a few months working from Spain. Prior to departure, I also wanted to do things by the book, but my tax and visa questions to the Spanish consulate kept getting deflected in that "I'm going to misunderstand your question in a way that makes it clear you should simply use a standard tourist visa instead of making your life harder, but I'm not going to come right out and say that" kind of way. IMO, it becomes a real issue when your travel pattern becomes more "expat" than "digital nomad" (stay abroad much longer, don't move around as much).
> Looking at the graph, I can see points along the curve, where a line would only intersect with 2 points on the curve.

I always start out under this impression too, but then I think some more and realize that there are only two conditions where this is possible:

1. The line is vertical

2. The line is the tangent of the curve at one of the points

1 Is illegal by the rules of picking points, and for 2 I believe the tangent counts as two points, and in any case, for any arbitrary point A, there will be only three other points that will allow the line to be a tangent (one when where A is on the tangent and up to two where B is on the tangent, I believe).

So once you've picked an arbitrary point, and you don't move vertically, there will be no more than three lines that don't follow the three-point rule, and every other possible line will follow the rule.
It almost seems like a lot of people don't want the data to indicate that natural immunity is strong and long lasting, even though the data shows that reinfection is extemely rare.

Similar to how so many people have been unwilling to even consider a lab leak was a possibility, until just now it seems, because that idea was heresy to the orthodox dogma that ordained Scientists are Saviors.

Humans have equated sickness with Sin for thousands of years, and catching covid has been no exception.

Many people can teach, but to do it successfully they must come from a place of respect and trust. If someone I know wants to teach me about their field of knowledge, that will be successful. If an anonymous stranger presents information with an attitude of "I think this will interest you as it interested me", that will be successful.

If an anonymous stranger comes to me with "Let me tell you that how you think is wrong" - yea, I don't think I'm going to buy that.

Somewhere at Apple, I swear they have an internal Terminal iOS app. And I want it. It would be one of the biggest “Pro” things they could do.

I don’t want a lot of the incumbent developer tool apps on the App Store. Third-party devs suck at creating good Apple ecosystem apps.

I’m constantly appalled by the amount of low quality apps on the App Store because so many developers fail to either 1. Create good designs for their apps or 2. At least use the Apple Human Interface Guidelines[1] if you’re unable to come up with your own good branding and UI

This is such an odd article starting with the title. I get that a lot of people consider being nomadic because of the tax implications but I strongly recommend people who are doing it just for tax optimization who are U.S. citizens think twice (if your liquid net worth is under a few million) as it is really complicated and one mistake can hose your plans. For reference, I am an American but worked for the Estonian governments e-Residency program where we made it easy for people to set up and run a business remotely and most of our users were nomads and so I dealt with a ton of tax issues... it is insanely complicated and risky.

Just this AM I had a call with a citizenship by investment firm (happy to make recommendations in this space as I know a few people through previous work) and we were talking about tax implications for remote workers and various programs. All I can say is, get ready to pay an accountant a lot of money. If you want the simplest break as an American, I would leave the U.S. on Dec 31 this year and go establish physical residency somewhere with no local income tax (or via a program like Barbados Welcome Stamp) and stay there long enough to pass the smell test (e.g. open a local bank account, have an address for a few months)... should be at least 3 months, probably more like 184 days. Then you can move on and go other places (not the US) for under 2-3 months at a time, not creating roots. Of course there will still be complications if you're doing this while employed somewhere but I guess if you're an independent contractor or with your own company you can spin up an overseas entity somewhere.
I don't know why you keep using the word "right". It's a beneficial situation for the individual and the US.

Because institutions and environments matter. Einstein wouldnt have been able to contribute nearly as much to humanity 5000 years ago as he could 80 years ago.
In India, this would mean enforcement of recently invented Indian values such as fascism, communalism, anti miscegenation laws, segregation laws, denaturalization, casteism, arrest and murder of journalists, and faking or withholding of numbers of national importance such as covid19 deaths, farmer suicide stats, gdp numbers and other economic indicators. These topics are not accountable to a certain minority of Indian families of privileged upbringing.

> I find it more interesting to ask the question "why do people spend so much hobby time writing interesting programs in Rust?".

Probably for the same reason people spend so much hobby time writing interesting programs in other languages: because they either already have experience in that language and like it or they’re looking for an excuse to learn a new language.

Personally I don’t find it an interesting question to second guess why people have hobbies. Sometimes people enjoy challenges because they’re easy, but sometimes people enjoy challenges because they’re hard. My wife relaxes by watching TV. I relax by writing OSS. Everyone is different.
Compiler class in college 20 years ago - my professors code was horrible. Var1, var2, etc… random formatting and misleading names… I learned it’s not what the variable name says or how it’s formatted- but rather what it means… to this day I believe that class is why I believe the most beautiful code is the code that works.
Side note: not sure if I just haven't been paying attention, but I noticed the slider pagination (with option to click one page at a time) and thought it is really neat.

Looks like the Naval variant costs around 720k, with more baseline variants running ~340k. Considering the weapon was designed in the 90s I'd be curious if a modern version could be done for less money with off the shelf components. Given that China's military costs roughly half the US's for the same gear this also puts this glide bomb in the cost range where anti-missile missiles start to look expensive.
I agree. I would go even farther. I think that governments should be funded by investment funds that are financed by revenue from resource utilization. Ideally, the investments are in local businesses and resource development. I am from Alaska. If Alaska had also set up a government fund at the same time to finance government the state would not be in financial trouble now. Alaska didn't do that and oil revenue was directly used to fund government. Now that oil revenue has decreased substantially there is nothing to fall back on.

The greatest tool for building wealth is time. That is an asset that organizations have that individuals do not. Look at the endowments of top tier universities. There is no reason that governments can't do the same and benefit from the long lifespan of a non-human entity.

This has the benefit of aligning government interests with the interests of the people. It also makes government more supportive than punitive as revenue only increases by cultivating an environment for business to flourish.
You get "gaming the system" with any strategy, so pointing that out isn't very helpful. We should focus on weighing the specific tradeoffs of the various approaches, instead of dismissing them outright b/c they even require tradeoffs.
Twitter is such a garbage platform. If you browse the web page with your mobile it will eat up your battery pretty quick. Sometimes it rescrolls the page so you lose where you were. Or rerenders everything so you lose context completely. And because it renders quite slow it will misregister your thumb clicks on something else, like the back button. Or try to thumb click on a single line tweet, you will hit everything else. Pay for this? No, thanks.
>The intent of someone who causes a car crash is rarely malicious.

And yet it happens, which is to the point and (depending on locality) people are still held accountable. Adopting nascent technologies almost always comes with risk tradeoffs because we don't yet have a solid understanding of the latent risks. Look at aircraft statistics if you need an example. To your point, over time they will improve, but not without accepting additional risk in the near-term. The last point is false only if you believe we understand the risk profile enough to unequivocally say autonomous cars are safer in all conditions. I don't think we can claim that yet.

What you're advocating is like someone in the early 1950s being told "Just make everyone fly in a de Havilland Comet! Don't you know air travel is going to be the safest mode of travel per mile!?" While true over the long run and in the aggregate, that individual on the Comet is being told to take an outsized risk. I'm making the claim that some people (not even necessarily me) would have a moral issue with being told at the individual level they need to take a larger risk for the betterment of society in the future.

So even while in the long time horizon they may be safer, or even be safer in the aggregate now, you could be subjecting passengers to higher risks in those individual cases. I can't speak for Kant, but I think some people may think it's immoral to draconianly force them to accept that risk. Kant speaks against the hypothetical imperative which is a motivation to obtain certain ends (like forcing policy that reduces traffic deaths in the aggregate).

If you disagree, ask yourself or others a hypothetical: take whomever you love the most in this world whether it's a child, a parent, or a dog. Would you be willing to adopt a rule today that they can never step foot in an ape-driven car for the rest of their life and every instance of travel be relegated to autonomous vehicles? Even if you are okay with that risk, there are plenty of people who would balk at it.
I had the pleasure of flying the Concorde, almost by accident, in the 90s. Yes, I was flying on business, but for some reason I couldn't get a flight on KLM to the Netherlands at all that week and my creative travel agent mused "Hey, do you want to take the Concorde?"

The cost was $3500, which at the time was within a couple of hundred dollars compared to a business-class seat on KLM. Yes, that ticket price wasn't something I'd contemplate for personal travel, and it was a bit discounted at that; but for business travel it certainly wasn't exorbitant.
Am I the only one becoming increasingly annoyed at this whole UFO thing over the past 18 months? Stands to reason that if the American government knows some stuff, other governments do to, why is my government not saying anything, is 5 eyes just out of the loop? Would the Russians and the Chinese not have some information? The Germans seem very capable... Given the evidence in the public domain has become deafening, I find it bizarre the Americans are the only folks we focus on.
I'd like to learn more about this.

Do regulations force ISPs to make people pays more when there are no competitors around? Do regulations set the the price? Aren't duopolies a possible consequence of a free market?

I also wonder, but perhaps some of these may approximate more "utopianish" collective community integration:

- Genuine hippie communes (Do kibbutzes count?)

- Amish

- Indigenous tribes where elders are respected

- Rural/suburban Minnesotans because they tend towards hardy dealing with life and climate struggles and unimpressed by immodesty

- In the old days (80's/90's), my grandparents knew most of their neighbors, grocery store cashiers, butcher, hair stylist, and a number of other people well. What ever happened to that? I don't even know any of the neighbors in my apartment complex despite introducing myself, and one (Louis Vuitton-strutting cliché) woman neighbor next door won't even acknowledge my presence with pleasantries in passing. WTH.
1) My evaluation of free markets is that they are poorly equipped to solve certain problems; IMO protecting/preserving the environment being the best example of this. Otherwise I believe them to be an incredibly powerful tool.

2) I think the whole system breaks down when companies lobby for and receive special governmental protections, which incumbent ISPs have done in the US since before they even were ISPs (phone and cable TV providers).

I believe myself to be relatively consistent.

While it's cool that many people are doing research on extending human life span, I think it's equally important (if not more) to think about how to enhance the quality of life when people get old. A lot people retire when they are ~60 yo. If they live up to 150 years, that is 90 years of retirement, which is ridiculers. I do wish that people can be "young" for longer. To me, that is more important than just living longer.
Actually there's quit a bit of overlap, many H1bs go onto start companies, some apply for an h1b through their own startup. Either way the immigrant entrepreneur almost universally say they find the US just "liberating" (compared to say India).
> Likely coaxial networks will become an antique of an older era. the same way POTS (plain old telephone service) did.

DSL will become the antique thing since you can't go much more than 50 MBit/s outside of urban areas with short distances due to piss poor old cables, while DOCSIS can already deliver 10 GBit/s over way longer distances because the shielded cable allows way more effective transmission.

Upgrades (aka splitting the trunk to provide more bandwidth to the customers on one branch) are relatively easy to do, whereas upgrading 5G capacity is a legal hellhole - you need permits, pay rent to whomever's house you're setting up the cell, and the base station and antenna hardware is expensive.

Don't get me wrong, 5G will be extremely useful for rural areas as it's way cheaper to build out than wiring up houses with DSL/cable... but where there is cable (and the cable is somewhat-ish affordable), people will choose cable over 5G.

As long as the points are not above/below each other, it will always intersect. We can see in one of the linked notes that vertical points are defined as each other's inverses, and adding them results in a type of "zero-element".
The basis of derivative work, even when RMS was bullying projects with it, was whether your code was dependant on the GPL implementation, or say, could just as well be built with another vendor's library - even if that one was GPLed too, so long as it wasn't derivative of the first runtime.

Essentially a case of "coding for standard interface offered from multiple sources where the interface itself isn't GPL" vs "Your code requires rework in order to work without this specific GPLed dependency".

This is all grossly simplified, but among other things, it means that separating GPL code to another binary you talk over any form of IPC doesn't necessarily mean you're avoiding GPL.
