> English ... didn’t fall because it lost funding or because business leaders promoted STEM fields. It fell because the dominant schools of thought stopped speaking about the truth of literature.

I've wanted to know if this was true myself. The fact is that we can't know how it would have turned out.

I am completely in agreement with the author's thesis: "When theory killed literary truth, it doomed the discipline." But, simultaneous to English departments making themselves irrelevant, there were major changes in the global economy that were also making STEM degrees more valuable. It's hard to believe that an English degree would be worth as much as it was in the 1960s if Derrida et al. hadn't taken over, in any case, though I do genuinely think the world would be better off.

Well... the government couldn't even really fix anything besides catch the hackers. At the end of the day it was the limited scope of the attack and some preperation on the companies part that restored functionality as I understand it.

Alternitively, these industries are already heavily regulated including extensive safetly regulations - so perhaps a basic level of security practices should also be required. We regulated how high of a ladder an employee can climb without safety equipment but we don't really do anything if a company reuses passwords, runs known vulnerable software, etc. Occasionally there are fines after the fact but that is too late.
Yikes, read through to the end to understand why the FDA approved this drug despite no support (ten against, one uncertain) from their advisory panel:

> Dr. Stein also defended the agency’s decision to approve the drug for such a broad group of patients, saying it could be relevant beyond the early stages of Alzheimer’s. "Because amyloid is a hallmark of the disease through its entire course, the expectation is that this drug will provide benefit across that spectrum," Dr. Stein said.

That expectation was not borne out as clinically significant in the trials, yet the beta-amyloid hypothesis lives on.

Based on my minimal understanding, viruses are too small to be seen under an optical microscope regardless of lens quality. Interesting imaging is done with an electron microscope. I would therefore guess that slide is focusing on tissue damaged by smallpox, not of the virus itself. It is therefore likely that the virus was rendered inert as a result of the same processes that were used to preserve the sample.
This already started happening in some European cities such as Amsterdam. Other places are seeing a huge number of small office locales for sale, such as those you might have seen accountants or lawyers.
At the extremes, this is known as cargo-culting. People who have only the most shallow understanding of the rules in my experience also push back the hardest against anyone who "breaks the rules", and get locked into the 'one right way' even when it's actively harming the delivery of a project.

Me too, but I think perhaps that you and I are several standard deviations above the median in terms of reading comprehension and ability to write clearly.

Not everyone is capable of this, as I learned when I tried to run a whole-ass engineering org like I previously ran more informal teams on irc.

Most people are bad at reading comprehension. It's why they tell people to repeat and rephrase their points when communicating, to give their readers a second chance at getting it.

On the mobile app, go to the booking page, click “help centre” at the bottom, scroll to the bottom of that page and select the “Still need help option”, then you should be able to select the booking it’s about and get a phone number.

You can then keep ringing that number without going back through the app. First person you speak to will likely be the first line support and you will need to be transferred to their resolutions team, you only seem to be able to escalate 1 level before being told the decision is final.

I would record everything because you will get given contradictory statements and the transcriptions if you request them are inaccurate.
Best advice I've read all year.
Likely years ago somebody at Biogen used a spreadsheet to calculate NPV under a range of scenarios, and from that decided to license this drug from Neurimmune. So it’s this or nothing, unfortunately.
The manufacturer, Biogen, is ordered to continue studying the efficacy of the drug as a condition of approval. The results of this continued investigation are due in - seriously - nine years. Meanwhile, anyone with any stage the disease will receive treatment; fortunately (?), Medicare is expected to bear the burden of this expense.
All the photos are real scenes but with unusual perspective or clever distortion. Except for the one[1] that looks like dominos laid out in rows. It turns out to be more of a pattern rather than a single scene.

I don't think we should be wildly experimenting with cures for terminal illness in the elderly. I don't think we should be putting much effort into them at all, in fact. The elderly are going to die soon no matter what you do. We should be focusing our efforts on things that are terminal at a young age.
I hedged my portfolio in January. You didn’t need a declaration of pandemic by the WHO to see the risk — that’s a trailing indicator. I exited my initial hedges in mid-March.

Which isn’t to defend or justify insider trading by Congress. There were intelligence analysis reports floating around Washington DC in 2019, so it was a known risk. But you didn’t need to be a beltway insider to see that possibility when insuring against that risk was very cheap.
> My personal view is that vax vs anti-vax views are shaped by the person's relationship with 'Authority' in the past.

If a person excessively distrusts authority, they are vastly more likely to have a poor interaction with authorities. For instance, a person who believes the government is trying to trick everyone into subjugating ourselves to them by getting and using birth certificates and drivers licences is going to have a very poor interaction with the police and perhaps the courts. (I don't mean to say that everyone in some class are Sovereign Citizens, but that at one extreme you have Sovereign Citizens, and you have people who are more or less like them in between them and the person whose mistrust legitimately started from an interaction with authorities.)

I wouldn't want to use those experiences as the basis for concluding that an antivaxxer is antivax because of their previous poor interactions. Both events are caused by the original distrust.

If we know who's had poor runins with the law and we're trying to find the antivaxxers, then yes, I think this is a useful place to look. But it's just a correlation, not an explanation.

Consequently, I want to place much less weight on your reasoning:

>If someone felt that they were mis-treated in the past by the government or by say a university bureaucracy, they are more likely to be anti-vax; because appealing to authority has no meaning or relevance to the way they process and assign weights to the information that they rrceive.

(Also, I'm not convinced of your argument even with these objections resolved. A lot of people seem to distrust the government because they view it as associated with one party, even when their preferred party is in charge. This distrust seems somewhat confected. And in America, distrust of government is a widespread ideology/mindset, even embedded into the culture. Neither of these forms of distrust are rational or understandable (over)reactions to trust-forming interactions.)

> As I write this I can imagine a cryptocurrency marketplace for insider information. The insider asserts some fact about a company and stakes an amount in crypto. Buyers see the potential - e.g. "Amazon insider staking 1 million for X% return" and can choose to take on the deal or not. If the buyer does take on the deal they see the information and if the information is borne out then the buyer must return the insider's investment plus X%. Otherwise the buyer gets the insider's stake.

We don't have to imagine it too hard, something very similar already happened! https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-03-22/fake-i...
If you are an insider at a company you work at, they tell you and you have to adhere to additional rules and blackouts around announcement and earnings time.

This is not common. In the story, the guy's wife worked in finance so had confidential info about earnings. The rank and file can trade whenever the hell we want with whatever stock we want, including our employer's. No one bats an eye.
This is actually a very compelling theory.
Used Model S's I'd agree with you. The new ones where you're apparently going to need to drive with a yoke, and without a turn signal stalk or wiper controls outside of the touchscreen... not so much. Tesla has a great electric powertrain and charging network; I just wish they'd stick to that and leave off all the nonsense. (See also, falcon wing doors, and air vents you need to adjust via a touch screen menu.)
But there's one fundamental truth about URLs: there is a single owner of a URL that decides what content appears at any particular address.

So it's less a street address and more of a mobile phone number.

Your grand should probably understand that metaphor better since I'm sure she's had multiple experiences with phone numbers changing hands over the years. And called people on their cell phones while that person is in different places. Or had different people answer the same number if the owner of the phone has entrusted the phone to another person or maybe even forwarded their number temporarily.

I kind of take the opposite view. I suspect all of the analogies - the clockwork, machine, computer, network universe - may all be right. I think all of these advances and corresponding analogies better help us understand nature, and I think people making these analogies did so for good reasons. The development of the technologies opened the door to new types of system conceptualizations.

I do think these types of analogies don't really work for the brain, though, or at least only scratch the surface. (Clearly the brain networks and computes, but there's much more going on.)

I'm a physicalist, but I suspect it might take longer to fully understand the brain than it'll take to fully understand the universe. (At least to a feasible level of universe detail; the difference is there'll probably be a point where we'll know we know the brain, but we won't necessarily ever be able to know if we've fully cracked the universe at the root, even if we can explain all observed phenomena.)

not sure what that bigger pay day down the road would look like for sifive. Intel still has more money than God after failng to deliver new processes & lagging ever further behind for almost half a decade. they can make it worth the while today.

you compare the architecture to a Pentium and frankly I hate to say it but that's probably not an unfair comparison. however at semimodern processes that kind of core can be very small and very power efficient. intel themselves have had a number of ultra low voltage "threshhold" processors based around Pentium like architectures. the Intel Quark lines (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quark) was based off the Pentium instruction set, at ultra low voltages, & powered some systems that still, half a decade after introduction & close to end of production are still quite competitive. to my eyes the only reason these chips were abandoned was because intel was used to fast bigger margins, & I think it sad these great chips were abandoned. risc-v has quite a variety of implementations, and I agree that few seem unlikely to be high performance, but that simplicity could quite potentially be a very low power probably highly parallel chip in the making.
The first video perfectly illustrates how the majority of grain bins in Northern California are configured, mostly for storing rice and wheat. I grew up on our family farm and we have several grain bins. They contain a row of augers at the top, with the row width being the radius of the grain bin. The augers almost reach the floor and spin to "stir" the grain, and the entire row slowly rotates around the top. We called them "stirs" [sic] and they were installed 35 and 45 years ago, so it's definitely not a new concept. Very simple and very effective. Grain bins there also have large fans and heaters at the base, which we just called "dryers". Between the stirs and the dryers our area didn't have any suffocation or explosion incidents that I remember, but we knew those were risks and we were careful if we had to go inside full grain bins. It seems like more of an issue in the Midwest with corn and soybeans, and taller silos.

All the vaccines available in the US have completed the FDA approval process, which was allowed to proceed to later stages before an earlier stage was complete, to accelerate development. The length of time passed from last trial until approval was roughly the same as for most other vaccines, from what I recall.
Tangent: There is about a terawatt worth of solar energy dumped into the ionosphere, if memory serves correctly. This large DC current can be modulated by varying the conductivity of a channel in the ionosphere. You can do that (temporarily increase the conductivity) with a high power (megawatts effective radiated power) VHF transmitter such as the HAARP array.

If you were to modulate the VHF amplitude or direction at VLF rates, this would result in your VLF frequency, at about a Gigawatt level, ringing the earth.

I suspect this is what Tesla was trying to do with his WardenClyffe Tower. Effectively turning the ionosphere into a MASER.

Hmmm. Gotta say I did not find that article convincing. It just seems like he's skeptical of a paper that makes some wild claims.

The article also assumes that the paper was withdrawn because of some sort of political pressure. But fails to actually point to any real evidence. I think it's more likely that they made extraordinary claims and failed to produce the extraordinary evidence.

Patient advocacy groups were pushing for approval pretty strongly. From the article:

>In a letter sent to the FDA ahead of the meeting, the Alzheimer’s Association said the publicly released data so far “justifies approval accompanied by a Phase 4 post-marketing surveillance study.”

“The alternative, requiring completion of an additional Phase 3 trial, would deny broad access up to four years while it is completed. A four-year delay is too long to wait for millions of Americans facing a progressive, fatal disease. A four-year delay is too long to wait for millions of American caregivers,” the organization said.

I have a family member who suffers from Alzheimer's, and it's a devastating disease. She's progressed too far for this drug, whether it works or not. But I can understand the desire for all the patients/families that still have some hope to have something, even if there's only a small chance it would work. On the other hand, if the FDA begins approving drugs not backed up by data, then it opens up the flood gates for all kinds of snake oil. It's a pretty tough call.
It's not very practical. We've been able to detect gravitational waves from black holes (or maybe neutron stars? Something like that anyways...) falling into each other, so in theory we could send a message across the galaxy using non-electromagnetic means if we could deliberately cause a similar event.

I'm not sure why we'd want to even if we could, though I guess "hey look at this, I can push a black hole into another one" would likely be regarded as a rather meaningful kind of message on its own to anyone with the technology to hear it.

OK but with the complexity of games today there is no way such a game could be released bug-free. Could games be released better than they are though? Probably. We needed game software updates in order to allow the 10x complexity increase, but developers took advantage of that to also give them a couple more months of development time.
Part of it was also probably that Trump was known for bucking expectations when those expectations where based on "surely this is ludicrous to consider true", to the point that lots of things that would have previously been held back for more verification were allowed forward because things that used to stretch credulity no longer did.

That's not an excuse, just what I think is a partial explanation.
