> The remaining non-trivial challenge is how to turn such EU funding into quality software

This is not a trivial challenge though. It's basically about creating a business climate that would allow startups grow fast and capture dominating positions on both European and worldwide markets.

Funding, with all its importance (look at what DARPA funding has enabled) can only give a first impulse, help a team create a prototype of something innovative. The rest is on legislation, investing culture, taxation etc.

> crypto enthusiasts finding exotic new ways to gamble with each other

Interoprability between cryptos is all DeFi can do. What's the other use case? If I said, "I was going to do X, but thanks to the power of DeFi it makes sense to pay the fees and absorb the volatility risk to do it on a blockchain", what's X?

> seemed like at the time lots of people seemed to want to ascribe anything to definitely having covid. I am not sure why this was - doesn't seem like people do this so much now.

I think the reason back then was that getting Covid was the only way to build immunity. Thus, if you had had Covid and recovered, you were better off than if you had not had Covid.

The big difference now is that we have a vaccine. You can be protected from Covid by getting the vaccine, without having to actually get Covid (Yay for vaccines).

As a team of a dozen of devs, we've been using Axolo for several weeks now. We previously relied on a slack channel where everyone would be notified for every comment on every PR: it's a relief not to be so much annoyed anymore.

There is of course room for improvement (some bugs, latency compared to github integration, very few options) but the gain is definitely here already :) Thanks for this great tool
While all this is true, a huge reason is also the lack of available funding. This is the worst problem imo.
> resetting your default apps regularly

This is my biggest pain points of windows 10. Why is it OK for windows to change my default image viewer everyday, with the some obscure message "there is a problem with your image viewer, we changed it to preinstalled image viewer from Windows"? Why? My image viewer is running perfectly OK, it has never crashed. I don't understand it at all.

That characterization would make the word “involved” meaningless.

If a hospital wants to set their prices high to be able to price discriminate, that is the hospital’s choice.

No one is stopping the hospital from offering the same low flat price to everyone.

US legal system seems less complex than the EU. Thought I admit that I do not have a complete overview of US law.

I see it like having many small US countries at the same time, while the EU law above just directs these smaller US countries to implement custom laws for their own backwater. I chose the example because for each country, all the levels you describe also seem to exist.
Author here: Because T cell receptors (TCRs) can drive cytotoxic and other T cell responses, autoreactive TCRs that recognize autoantigens can drive the destruction of healthy cells and tissues with those autoantigens. Autoreactive TCRs are removed by T cell selection, which protects against autoimmune diseases. We combined high-throughput TCR sequencing and machine learning to predict which TCRs are removed (or retained) by T cell selection. Our trained machine learning models may therefore be able to identify autoreactive TCRs that recognize autoantigens.
They hired a physicist to run simulations to get it "as accurate as possible". I think comments about the achieved fidelity are warranted.

> everyone working on Windows UX is fired. Preferably out of a cannon and into the sun.

I was on the Windows accessibility team, which was under the shell org. Not everything that we did in Windows 10 was bad. The Narrator screen reader built into Windows 7 sucked (my former colleagues and managers agreed); we made that much better in Windows 10. I wouldn't want to go back to Windows being the only platform where the only good screen readers were the third-party ones, and those products had to use ugly hacks to make Windows accessible.

I'm referring to things like "Nicole the Math Lady", "Kahn Academy" and other supplemental education resources. Even Wikipedia can get you on the right track with any topic. Since I homeschool my son I don't know if the schools have gotten better.

I took an accelerated Calculus class one summer. My parents spent hundreds of dollars on a VHS calculus set to supplement the class because it was moving too fast for me. That was the difference maker in me passing. Today, getting that info is trivial and available to everyone.
Before You Left for Vacation
There's a whole subquestion the article mentioned mostly as an aside: version control systems don't facilitate multi-way merging of binary/complex file formats. I don't know that anybody has developed a good solution to this (that scales to large numbers of different formats), and "just use a text file format" doesn't really work for complex models where changes don't appear like minimal diffs.

I invested fully in FreeCAD, it does support pointers and instances for many ops, but the reality is that you have to instantiate all the instances in 3-space if you want to do complex geometry conflict checking.
I haven’t encountered this yet but it could be a regional/luck thing. I do imagine Amazon has worse (for the customer) incentives to dole out nearly expired or unsightly produce than third party supermarket pickers.
Does anyone have thoughts on starting kids on manipulating CSVs or xlrd, instead of turtle?

I was exposed to turtle graphics in school when I was a kid, but I wasn't impressed. I thought there was a huge gulf between turtle graphics and actual programming. It wasn't until 20 years later that I realized there wasn't a huge gulf, I was just one module away from doing real things. When I figured out how to process data, and do useful things, it blew my mind.
Good luck getting a price like this in writing in advance. I have not been able to get doctors or hospitals to tell me what a procedure would cost in advance at all. "So you're telling the only way to find out how much it will cost is to get it done and then see the bill?" "Right".

An actually useful law might be:

Before an elective procedure, they need to give you the price in writing.

The actual price transparency law does not seem to have resulted in any price transparency.
Based on what you know about the system and all parties, curious on any ideas you'd have to speed compliance (without bankrupting anyone).

Would increased fines do it? Compliance bonuses [0]? Something else?

[0] Showing a few of my cards, I was really impressed with the inner workings of the FEP program, from a management perspective. They seemed to have landed on an effective system of fine + incentive that strongly encouraged good behavior and positive results.
Not that I've seen.

It's the 'hot topic that gets eyeballs and talk' but that doesn't reflect the same level of general usage.

A little like Vue got all the articles for a while, and don't get me wrong it's very nice, but adoption generally isn't as high as you might think based on discussion and blogs and etc.
That is kind of like saying, "How dare you listen to me when I am shouting my name in public?!" You are broadcasting your SSID on an unlicensed band, all wifi stations in your area have been listening to and analyzing those transmissions, and your wifi stations (APs and client devices) have done the same with all your neighbors' wifi networks. In fact the wifi standard requires more than just monitoring nearby beacons -- wifi stations monitor all wifi frames being transmitted from nearby stations, even those connected to a different AP, to avoid interference.

You don't want anyone to monitor your wifi network? Either don't use wifi, or switch to a band that will not propagate beyond your home (60 ghz).
My presence on a public street isn't "private" per se, but following me around recording everywhere I go on public streets is definitely tracking me.

Not all wifi networks are stationary. I doubt most people know to add a _nomap to their hotspot name to avoid being tracked.

I'm surprised Disney has been allowed to buy up so many media companies. They control the box office, have a major interest in sports and news, and seem to have an appetite for more.
That's very similar to wait times as in the US.

Fuck, a few years ago I had to switch dentists and I couldn't get even a teeth cleaning without waiting more than six months.
> That sounds pretty decent, but the grouped by age/location/education level median

The poster said "the majority of Americans", not "the majority of young Americans with less education" or something, so I talked about the median, explicitly acknowledging the presence of millions of people who are poor.

> most people wouldn't and shouldn't have to sell their house or car to be able to afford a medical emergency

If someone needs money from their house, they don't have to sell it.

The median non-primary-residence net worth in the US is 40k. I still think it's silly to pretend $1500 is unthinkable for the majority of Americans like it is for the minority of people in America who are poorer than most others.

> ( even though i agree that if you have a $120k net worth, you should be able to save money on the side, but i wouldn't be surprised if there are situations where that's hard ( e.g. house bought years ago, a household member without a job, friend/family/only remaining job are in the area)).

Paying large bills is hard, especially with all the stuff life throws at you. I didn't mean to imply otherwise.

> Once you have a Facebook, you can't have a second one, even with all the VC cash, talent & creativity in the world.

That's not how it works, just look at MySpace. Even sites with a lot of market share are sometimes overtaken by a competitor.

The best alternative to Facebook in a fragmented market like Europe is federation across multiple social "hosting" sites with a regional focus, based on standards that are either in place already or being worked on. This can exploit even stronger platform effects than a conventional one-size-fits-all solution like Facebook.

Google and YT are in a different position since they're actually solving hard resource problems (Video streaming at scale is hard; building a usable crawl of the Web is also hard); much of their success comes from addressing these in a way that is compelling for users.

> This would explain why they have a higher rate of poverty. It has nothing to do with America being uniquely bad at helping immigrants improve their lives.

My point is not regarding that, just that the amount of business owners does not help too much in seeing whether they do harder work than others or not.

> Exactly what are immigrants not allowed that citizens born in the US are?

Citizenship? Permanent residence? Seems like a pretty big deal to me.

> At some point in the past every one of those rich families had an individual who did something to achieve more than the average person.

That something could be anything, from working really hard to just being lucky. Not to mention that a lot of individuals probably did the same personal effort but circumstances were not optimal for that effort to do something.

> So, if you don't like it then it would seem that you're suggesting we just allow immigrants (or low class) people to skip that by giving them things?

Yes. Education, healthcare, the basics so that they live and work without worrying constantly about survival.

> Now, that would mean that everyone gets raised up to a similar level again and we're back in the same position where all the average people feel they're not being treated fairly because they don't have what upper class people have.

This is a very simplistic take of wealth redistribution. The purpose of redistributive policies is not to take everything (houses, money, material things), put it in a pile and then give to everyone the same thing. There will always be people better and worse off. The idea of redistribution is to reduce the distance between those groups, so that

- People that are worse off have a minimum life quality. Even from an utilitarian point of view it makes sense: a homeless person, or someone who's starving, is not going to contribute as much to society as if they had a home.

- People that are better off still need to contribute to society and don't have power over it. Meaning worker protections, and also heavier taxes on non-productive capitalistic activities.
First party tracking is less creapy. When I walk in the shop, I know the shop assistant is looking at me. I don't expect the shop assistant of an unrelated shop at the other end of the mall to watch me.

That's pretty much the point I was making. The whole community has to buy into the value of education. If you are getting harassed by your peers because you are reading a book for enjoyment, you are likely going to stop.
Doesn't have to be a 100k/year governess. Lot of families bring grandma/grandpa or a niece along to help with the kids.
Lots of programs have an "undo" feature, perhaps the history of this could be saved along with the files.

EDIT: that is, saving all user inputs used to generate the binary files in a text format.
I think the point was first party tracking was okay, irrespective of whether it was Google or Amazon.

I expect first party tracking on YouTube and find it useful, but wouldn't want Google to track my activities across the internet.
I think it would be bad if Chrome became the only browser worth supporting, as disappointing as it is that Safari has these problems.
Yep, there was I under the impression that this was more of a marginal endeavour than it really is; I was probably thinking along the lines of human-powered aircraft. I'd imagine that a lot of safety problems and requirements for a very skilled pilot could be reduced in the future with computer control/brain-computer interfaces and exoskeletons.
Yup, good reminder that we're here in the US being like "We should be able to tell what absurd price we are going to be charged before we get the procedure so we can decide if we want to shop around and we can't even do that!", and still on "if only we could do that, it would be a victory!". Geesh, we're screwed.
Fortunately most of the above mentioned is harmonized in the EU. Culture is a fair point, but I suspect much of it is chicken and egg problem. Thin VC money, less lively M&A market, fewer reasons for gold rush.
Hey at least your keyboard works /s

On my Google Android phone, the keyboard randomly stops working.

Or this other thing. Plug/unplug or or go below the threshold of the battery saver. While you have the keyboard active. It will reset the keyboard as the visual styling changes. This deletes the current input for me.
It sure confused me.
This is fantastic. I’ve tried several times to understand this idea over the years, with no success. This clearly expressed the idea in only a few minutes.

One question: It mentions that Wolfram alpha will fail on integrals that this trick can work for. Is that just because it will time out (we need more compute) or is the trick difficult to automate?
A Career in Services Can Accelerate Your Career
I've learned that Tailwind is not really a framework so much as it is a philosophy. Most Tailwind classes are just single property wrappers. For example, "flex" is just "display: flex", "bg-dark-400" is just "background: $bg-dark-400", "text-white" is just "color: white"...that sort of thing. It is more of a rebuke of the CSS concept as a whole, as CSS is geared towards large but few classes, and Tailwind is smaller but many classes.

You can use Tailwind to build Bootstrap, like the OP link shows, but you can't do the opposite. I was surprised when browsing the Tailwind docs that they didn't have prebuilt navbar, form, or input classes, but now I realize that's actually the point. You have to build all of those yourself to fit the needs of your project. That's not to say that prebuilt components don't exist at all, just that they're not part of the Tailwind framework project - they exist under Tailwind UI, the commercial offshoot of Tailwind. It's pretty expensive as an indie developer, but I don't mind having to build my own components so it still works out for me.

> Nobody expects that I can show up directly at their house, if they just say their SSID or simply send me a screenshot of their Android home screen.

(It's not relevant to the discussion but Android home screens show the name of the connected WiFi network?)

Where can someone look up a lat,lng by entering an SSID? It sure doesn't work on the site you cited. It looks like the information that is there was explicitly shared by the router operator.

SSIDs only need to differ from neighbors' SSIDs for convenience, to help tell them apart. If you already have neighbors using a default, like "xfinity", you might not want to choose that to avoid extra hassle when setting up new devices. But if you're concerned about someone learning your SSID and finding a database to map it to a location, can pick a generic manufacturer's SSID of which there will be thousands, if not millions, of devices using the same SSID.

It's dominated by businesses where network effects are not in play; commodities, specialist equipment, medicine, biotech, hardware, etc. If there's a cultural, legal, or network element to the business, then the fragmentation of the European market puts it at a massive disadvantage.

You can try to language-lawyer this as much as you want, but it doesn't matter; Browser developers clearly do not want to just adopt SQL into the browser layer without there being multiple independent implementations, and scoping the problem so that you can act all "whoops, wow, what did I trip over right here? so convenient!" to use SQLite and be done with it, is a tactic they almost certainly can predict and see as a bad one, nearly equivalent to just mandating it in the first place.

Like, does anybody here really think their actual complaints are about some minutae about wording in a spec about "mandates" or whatever? Their rejection is quite clearly against the spirit of the design, and again because because they don't think multiple browsers each independently reproducing a whole SQL stack with equivalent semantics is viable. It's not about technical nits or wordsmithing, little coder-logic-tricks aren't going to work.

If the bill was $3500, the negotiated price for the insurance company was surely less than $1500. I had my appendix out, the bill was $20k, negotiated price picked up by insurance was $2000.

Price transparency doesn't go far enough. Regular purchasers need to be able to get the real prices, but here we are and we can't even find out what the real prices are, much less purchase at that price.
