Why? What customers is this meant to serve in the commercial airline market? The Concorde overwhelmingly catered to high end business travelers, which made sense at the time. Every hour you were in the air was an hour you couldn’t be doing business. Time is money so if you need to get across the Atlantic, making the trip as short as possible was worth the price. Now we have airplanes with WIFI, we have laptops, we have smart phones. Now you can remain comfortable, productive, and connected on your flight. Secondarily was the rich persons market.

You also gave up a lot of comfort to ride the Concorde. That would be even more true today with excellent business-class options on most airlines and many world-class first-class products like the Etihad A380 “Apartments”. Are high end business flyers or rich tourists really going to trade that to save 4 hours between New York and London in high enough numbers to sustain a regular route?

There is also the exclusivity factor, but that is already highly served by private jets. Then finally, just the experience. But is that enough to fill the seats every day?

Supersonic flight is a really cool idea but the reality involves a lot of tradeoffs. When it comes down to people actually buying tickets and looking at the customer base, I just don’t see it as some slam dunk product.
For me, as an exaggeration to being understandable to an American, it could be this example from Regular Car Reviews (time: 02:20):

Sounds like you're describing an additional system.

After reading the article this was what I wanted to say. The article says that some researchers are worried an investigation will cause tensions. Tensions are a constant between nations and working through them is one of the major responsibilities of leaders. The other problem with the article is it already discounting the “lab leak theory” as founded on “unsubstantiated claims” and instead refers to a report released by WHO in March of 2020, over a year old that basically set up the wet market theory. That report is completely outdated and no evidence of a wet market animal or even that the disease is contagious in bats has been found since then. I’m disappointed in nature on this one. In this article they blame journalists, republicans and talk show hosts for promoting a theory, obviously using the source of their news as a reason the theory is not sound, rather to reviewing the theory itself.
Fair enough. I don't think I made my point exactly how I wanted on second though. Let me clarify.

The term in and of itself is not racist. But the way it was used in American media, and the negative connotations that were fed to us along with it, are very problematic.

The term 'wet market' has never really been used in the American lexicon. The first time the majority of Americans heard it was in regards to the pandemic. And it was instantly being using in a derogatory way. The media and day to day talk was filled with negative and inaccurate depictions of what these places really are.

They were said to be dirty, filthy places, where people are eating bats and all kinds of weird animals. And if only those Chinese people weren't being filthy and eating weird 'dirty' animals in their 'wet' markets, we wouldn't have this pandemic! I can't tell you how many times I heard this lane of thought early on last year.

And how many people still believe this to be the case? Probably a lot. Meanwhile, these places are just normal markets, where many people go to buy fresh meat, seafood & produce. And they spray water on the floors to wash them off (this by the way is my understanding of where the term 'wet' comes from, it doesn't have to be a seafood market).

This was what I was really trying to say, it's not the term 'wet' itself, but the way it was introduced to an audience who was not familiar with he term.
Consider GP's position: they wrote some code for their old employer, and therefore had no copyright over it (I hate capitalism). Point is, they had very little stake, beyond personal pride and ethics.

So now they see that their code has been stolen from the previous company, and they're being asked to work on it, what will they do? Refuse to use the code and risk being fired for being too slow? Report the crime and risk being accused of attempted to cover their own tracks? Talk to HR and being hated by one's closest bosses?

I see no way to really win here. At least, not reliably.

" In summary, if SARS-CoV-2 was created in a lab — which the evidence does not favor — this virus somehow won the generic lottery on multiple, complex fronts, each one of which is an active research area in virology to this day "

I'm not entirely sure why this article is being pushed up. There is reason to believe that it could be still born from a lab, as reality is stranger than fiction. And i also think that labeling it as a conspiracy label is very sensational too. Another odd thing is that this was written by an astrophysicist.
>Last year they consciously lied that masks were ineffective to preserve them for health workers.

I'm tired of hearing this meme. A lie implies they were hiding their intentions, but leadership was transparent about saving masks for healthcare workers from the start. It's just that nobody bothered to listen, and now people want someone to blame for not listening. Here is a video from Fauci from early March:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=PRa6t_e7dgI

In it Fauci says that masks are primarily ineffective at preventing you from contracting disease and effective at preventing its spread. At the time, it made sense to save the masks for healthcare workers and sick people.
What if the police steal your private key?
I do understand that winning something can definitely lead to happiness but is it just momentary or long lasting is the bigger question.
I can empathize with NIMBYism if someone is trying to build a coal mine upstream of you, but for native plants and animals? Frankly these are the sentiments that take away my faith in the future of our species.

There are economists who are working on ML and causal inference. I know of no courses but I can refer you to some papers...

(These titles are from memory bc I am typing with one hand as I hold a sleeping infant with the other.)

- taddy, et al “deep IV”.

- Greg Lewis at Microsoft research has work here too... the title of that paper I cannot remember.

- Farrell, Liang and Misra, “neural networks for estimation and inference” (econometrica 2021)

- For non neural network based ml informed approaches to causal inference, victor chernozhukov, alexandre Belloni and Christian Hansen have a long series of papers going back to 2011 (sometimes with other coauthors) which are generally based on the LASSO in settings with many instrumental variables.

- chernozhukov, demirer, duflo, et al have a paper on “double machine learning” which is relevant. I think there is relevant work in biostat by Jamie Robins, but that is not my field.

- athey, imbens and wager have papers on random forest based approaches - at least one is in JASA. Might be called “causal forests” ?

- since economists frequently estimate in the GMM (generalIzed method of moments, not Gaussian mixture model) framework, there is some recent work by... Kallus (?) on formulating GMM as an adversarial game. Greg lewis and
V. Syrgkanis have also worked on this problem but the title of the paper escapes me.

I would like to teach this material myself so there will one day be a class (inshallah) but so far have not had time to organize it yet!
How does SF crime compare to neighboring SF Bay Area cities that don't have such an experimental DA?

The author attributes rising crime, homelessness, and anti-Asian violence to the policies of one DA in San Francisco. Yet, sitting here across the Bay in Oakland, I note that those things have been on the rise here as well, with a noticeable uptick starting around the time lockdowns began and many people losing their jobs and/or radically changing the way they spent time in society.

Is it all because of Chesa?
> there would not be a single functioning nation on earth

Holy hyperbole, Batman.

No, it would just mean that there would be a homogeneous corporate tax system, which is what people seem to always argue for.

'Parasites' is also a ridiculous description.
Maybe it's time to redefine what "successful" means. If people are getting poorer or remain the same while a small number of people are getting richer, it's hard for me to understand that as "successful" in any way, unless you only think about the money.
Im still curious what you think this article really reveals. It makes a lot of unsupported claims. Fox News Is mainstream news. It literally is the most watched network, well beyond all those you listed as being “mainstream news”. Yet they serve the same biased, lack of balanced coverage as the sites you listed. In fact, the article even points out how White House advisors (on Fox, OAN) put out the WIV origin story over and over again using bad research and sources.

And again, I still don’t even know why this is more important than the task of dealing with the pandemic first. Pointing fingers directly led to a simpleton policy of blocking flights from China, which was the extent of public health measures for weeks. Cases were pouring in from italy without anyone doing quarantine follow up or contact tracing. It took months to get PPE and adequate testing in place.

Even today, as variants occur (hey, but nobody seems to care that those have origins too right?), there are literally Republicans fighting measures against public safety and calling into question the efficacy of vaccination.
Also agree. While insects stings are part of growing up, I think I only had a tick on me once as a child. Now the "tick check" is part of the bath routine for my kids... even when they stay in the mowed area of our lawn (out of the adjoining woods). I'm in Central PA, for reference.

That said, I chipped a big portion of the lawn for a berry patch/orchard and maintain the wild black raspberry and wineberry outside the wire. Current status: strawberry overload!
Can you please explain how Apple’s Find My is anonymous while Sidewalk is not? As far as I understand, Find My collects device location information through other iPhones and then upload them to Apple’s cloud where it can be viewed by you. Apple states that this is done in a privacy preserving way by using rotating identifiers.
In the case of Amazon, they state that all the device information being relayed through your device is encrypted and capped at 80kbps.

I am not sure I understand why one is a concern while the other isn’t.

Recently we were doing interviews for a job. We had one gentleman from India applying for the position. We have hundreds of people with Indian English accents at our company, so it’s not like we are unfamiliar with the dialect. But this person… none of us could understand more than one word in ten from him. We persevered with the interview, each of us assuming that it was just us and everyone else could understand him. It took me nearly an hour to realize that he was pronouncing API as “ape-ee”.

Or even the home's lawn. Next door neighbor's home is being sold (they're renters) and the lawn is in awful shape (not just weeds but large dead sections). It's still being sold over asking and way over what the owner paid 10 years ago. The price is in line with better maintained homes on the street that have been sold. The yard doesn't seem to matter at all.

The Problem (Opportunity)
Recently I took 2 new part-time jobs as Product Lead. I also run a small agency and am also added to my client's work calendars. So in total, I ended up having 5 google accounts with 4 work & 1 personal calendar
The Quest began
I immediately knew that I need to find software that will help me to keep my schedule clean and I won't end up having double-booked on my different work calendars. I started searching, couldn't find one. I resorted to Zapeir, it was tedious, messy, expensive. In short, it was an unsuccessful experiment
I can see the first milestone
I absolutely needed this product and wasn't able to find it. So I decided to build one to solve my problem, that's how the best products are born. I was excited to have this moment, which I never had before, it ticked all the perfect product boxes. The plan was to build an MVP, validate the tech stack, test it on me, and then invite early beta users
I am struck by a
1 week in, the tech & flow of the MVP is validated. I opened up Notion, created a task - Design research, started searching again for the keywords, and this time I found the exact product I wanted to create.
It exists!! I went ahead and thought, but it surely would be lacking something right? But it comes out great, great UX & design, features which I have in my 1-year roadmap, users already using for 1.5 years, experienced founders, backed by investors & almost 5 million dollars in funding
Now BOOM , I am stuck in a dilemma
Should I still go ahead and create the product? - I want to because this idea felt so right. I might be sounding stupid, but I really wanted to do this
Will I be labeled as a copycat? - Of course!! I will be
Can I compete with A startup, who is giving away their product for free this whole year? - Maybe
Do I want to do it? - YES!
So the ultimate is
Is this a facepalm moment or a climb-on champ moment?
15 seconds on the shell beats 5 minutes trying to debug a ruby or pythons script.

That said I would agree as soon as something becomes complex or you need to do computation looking outside the shell is probably a good idea.

The huerestic that I use is

1. Do I need to do math? Move out of the shell.

2. Is the logic starting to get complicated enough that I need consider creating modules? Move out of the shell.

3. Is there enough code to fill more than one screen? Out of the shell I go.

4. Is this going to be something that needs robust error handling and that will be used frequently outside of me? Out of the shell.

I've found that as long as I don't hit one of those conditions hacking around in the shell is quite powerful and useful.

When people talk about replacing artists with virtual artists, I think an important missing piece is that people are into performance because a human with a story is doing the performing, not just the aesthetics of the end result. For the most part, great art isn't hermetic. It's situated within the context of the artist's personal story and career arc, an the relationship of those to the audience / fanbase.

We probably will see greater uptake of virtual art and artists, but it hasn't been and won't be a revolution that sweeps away human performance.
That's politics, not science. Politicians absolutely have to play the game with China, or they lose face, and are themselves cornered into extreme measures. Playing the game badly could have worse reprecusions for all of us. Political skill and understanding of culture is crucial in this context.

There's a saying, there's a time for everything. This pandemic is absolutely a Chernobyl moment, and all nations unprepared despite multiple warnings.

Then it now need to become a moment for humbleness, not petty blame games.

Excellent comfort zones.

Total social atomization.

You can't have children through Discord. And why would you? With whom?
Pretty common for me, but I've mostly lived in places with a huge variety of fresh ingredients. That "level of food" is actually not that high in places like Barcelona, Lisbon, Sao Paulo, Sydney, SF, LA, Guangzhou, Bangkok, etc. 60USD/day (~1300USD per month) is not that much compared to how much FAANG employees are making. At the end of the day it's a matter of priority. Tons of people spend more than that on alcohol/cigarette/drugs/cars.
Maybe this is why the job of YouTube influencer is so popular among younger generations, they see where automation will take us.
Can I ask a question?

Zuck has structured the company in such a way that he'll be at the helm until he is 90 or gets bored.

Given this situation why doesn't he attack regulators and politcians who attack him?

In the long run acquiring the reputation of somebody who doesn't just lay there and take it would serve him and the company better.

It seems to me that after 2/3 years of disputes, he'd acquire such reputation and would be left alone. No politician has enough political goodwill to sign off a Facebook breakup and survive, not even Biden himself, so why doesn't he make this clear for the doubters on Wall Street.

By making it clear I mean going on the attack , knowing that they can't do much to hurt him.

As these news drop he should be saying stuff like:

"They are trying to destroy and disintegrate Facebook and Instagram"

Seems to me Facebook and companies in general have to enter the culture wars battlefield

But the actual origin is not necessarily the most important point. I think there's already some evidence that China acted, at best, negligently, and at worst, nefariously, in the early days of covid, wrt disclosure, alerting the world, etc.

For example, why did they still allow international fligths out of Wuhan even after they'd locked the city down?

Thats not how logic works either..
Are there any indications that the Sidewalk network can be used to relay other than device control information?
The same media that was reporting on the lab leak being a conspiracy theory were the ones reporting that Trump and Trump supporters sided with the theory due to racism. There was no proof that racism was the reason, only that they referred to Covid19 as China Flu or Wuhan Flu. Both of which represent the origin and not a race.

No, they advising against suburban grass maintenance in general. This without considering downsides of clean flower beds without the dense root structure homeowners are used to, or snake-friendly hiding places near your front door.

Thick, muddy, pest-filled brush is native, but I have enough of it without it around my house and walkways.

Yuval Noah Harari argues the same [1].
