No you can tinkle complex code, i did not say that anybody does it. It remembers me on WordPress, where many "pro" devs mixed nice complex unreadable code, that is only necessery, because they use WordPress. If they would use something else, they would not have complex code.
> If the whole world decides a random rock in your back yard is worth $10M, you shouldn't need to give the government $3M while the rock just sits there.

Why not?

General taxation is done on two principles -- ability to pay and the principle of fairness. Those who have more pay more.

If you have a rock worth $10M in your back yard you can certainly pay. You'd have to get a loan or sell the rock to do so, but you have more ability to pay than anybody who isn't a millionaire.

And by not selling for $10M, you're demonstrating that the rock is worth more than $10M to you. So the government is doing you a favor by only taxing on the $10M rather than on the actual value to yourself.
Ah! I had that game as a kid, loved it! The actual paddle buttons on the side made it much better than a 2600 for that type of game. Don't remember what happened to it - maybe it died and that's why we got a 2600.

There's different things to consider I think than just finding something that you can work as hard as possible on. I think Tom Blomfield's story is worth hearing about, it sounds like he found being CEO really anxiety inducing even if clearly he was very successful at it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP2_QOCrVO4&ab_channel=TheDi...
It sounds outrageous until you realize:

1. The F-Droid team has a set of checks that they perform:

a. Is the app open source?

b. Does the app do things that the user might not want? ie access non-free services

2. Sometimes, to get around #1, special forks of projects are created so that apps can be included in F-Droid

3. The volume of new applications seem small enough that the F-Droid team can keep up just fine. The only problem I've seen w/ F-Droid resource problems are updates that take days to show up

4. As other have mentioned, you can opt out by running your own repository. Nothing is locking you into the F-Droid primary servers

I appreciate the additional curation F-Droid brings and I love the fact that I can tell other people to use F-Droid unreservedly and know they won't get anything spammy or freedom restricting

Regarding the "work hard in your 20s" advice.

I took the approach that in your 20s you are still forming, still growing, still malleable. The experiences you have in your 20s will have a disproportionate effect on the kind of person you end up being. Therefore, you have to think about what environment, what experiences you want to foster that growth in. I would suggest optimizing for variety and new experiences is a better idea that working 80 hours weeks throughout your 20s.
In your 20s, don't just work hard, work hard at becoming the person you want to be.

It did. It significantly increased individuals with testes' sperm concentration, volume, and motility. While it's important to wait for follow-up studies to confirm this, it's good news that yet another barrier to taking the vaccine has been broken.

EDIT: It appeared to have no effect, and the increase was likely not caused by the vaccine.
I think Mitt Romney famously has a lot in his Roth IRA in a similar way [1]. As others have said, it's not actually illegal so I think pointing fingers at individuals who do it (for themselves, their families, etc.) is wrong. If you think it's immoral, go after the people writing the tax codes because 100% if I had the option I would do the same. You'd honestly be a fool to not shelter your millions from taxes if you could. Worst case, you could donate it to the government anyway. Or, donate to a charity of your choice. Or, give it to your kids. Why on Earth wouldn't you legally avoid tax if you could?

Also, if you think this should be changed, what should the law be, exactly? You're not allowed to make insane profits in a Roth IRA? Why? Or you're only allowed certain types of investments (like index funds?) in a Roth IRA? In my opinion (and it is an emotional judgement), I think America is based on freedom, and Roth money is money you already paid taxes on, and you should be allowed to invest it however you want. It's your money after all. And I say this as someone who literally only invests in boring index funds myself.

What do you think is a good solution to this problem?
You'd be right if we were talking about an iterated prisoners' dilemma (i.e. hiring the same contractors over and over.) It'd be bad management to be in an adversarial relationship with people you maintain a consistent relationship with.

But the point of Mechanical Turk is to gain a scaling advantage by designing your task as a non-iterated prisoners' dilemma (i.e. so that arbitrary new untrained people can come in and do one of your tasks once, and then not necessarily ever interact with you / your tasks again.)

This requires a very different mindset; one that not many people possess. Even most of the people who are using Mechanical Turk "successfully" don't design their tasks to actually be reliably accomplished by the firehose of arbitrary new untrained people that come through the service. Most employers on the service just use it as a temporary-worker recruiting platform — using work-sample test tasks to cull down to a set of reliable workers, and then feeding real tasks to only that pool of pre-tested workers.

But this throws away the key advantage of Mechanical Turk — the scale and elasticity to demand you get by being able to rely on "literally any human" to complete your tasks, rather than needing to be filter them down further and thus expose yourself to winnowing (which is especially harsh in the MTurk world — no worker on the service stays with it for very long, as it's one of the least marginally profitable things you can do with your time, only worth it if you have literally no better options. And most people find another option fairly quickly.)

It's not every task that can take advantage of "literally any human" — but the workloads that can are far more numerous than these tasks' designers think. They just don't understand how to create specs that stand up to an adversarial implementation.

Designing tasks for MTurk is, essentially, writing a wish for a malevolent genie, such that you can automatically verify whether you got what you wished for, and such that you can prove to the malevolent genie that that verification step is what's going to happen, such that they have no reason to defect. It's the baby brother to the AI control problem.

A good example of a well-designed MTurk task (if it were implemented as one) would be Google's older implementation of reCaptcha, the one that shows the "worker" text from books / street-view street-facing signage, and gets them to write what they see. The whole "present one known and one unknown" and "cross check inputs across several workers" parts of the design are there to allow the system to work in a non-iterated prisoners' dilemma context.

Everyone around me that has wealth built it up from simply talking and connecting with people. Going out for golf and drinks where people tend to let their guard down and just enjoy themselves allows people to build trust.

> MIT OpenCourseWare still has plenty of lecture videos / course materials available.

Hmm, I'd disagree. For example, Analysis 1 is a very desired course for many technical majors. Go look at OpenCourseWare's offerings for Analysis 1, perhaps peruse some of the videos.

Then go look for other desired courses -- missing content is characteristic and not the exception.
The author is right. Gender studies, for example, is a pointless degree. You certainly have a point about not being quick to judge, or overly dismissive, but there are certain things in life that are genuinely pointless, even in education.

Microsoft have, for some years now, realised that shipping bytecode is the future, with easy cross-platform targeting; they've been gradually working towards that with C# and dotnet core. It just takes a very long time to turn the tanker around, and they care more about not forcing all their developers to do the work of transition and their customers to upgrade.

Nothing involving autoconf is ever simple.

Oh PG. You're so damn loathsome
In 45 vaccinated men over ~75 days, roughly 3/4ths saw a sperm increase or no change, and 1/4th (12 of them) saw a decrease.

This is 1% interesting but its very odd to test 45 men and not also test 45 random men in the same age bracket. What if the count difference is an approximation of seasonal differences between December and April? For example, there is a lot more opportunity physical activity for people generally in April, especially with lockdown easing. Is this just measuring that? In other words, is a 3/4th increase-or-no-change, 1/4th decrease the norm in the population over that time period regardless of vaccines? Does sperm count go up more for unvaccinated people during that period?!

It's possible that other studies could tell us this, but from the public study information and graph it seems surprisingly myopic.

FOR EXAMPLE (note this is sheep, I found the same for boars too, but if someone has a good human graph please post. Note the benefit of other mammals is that there is no selection bias in who shows up to get tested for such things.): https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Mean-monthly-sperm-conce...

Mean monthly sperm concentration in Dec and Jan: about 2600. In April, about 3400. That's a huge jump. What if that explains the entirety of these results? What if these vaccinated people have a lower than average variation! (And again, what if lockdown lifestyle changed things big time, and vaccinated people are doing more physical activity, etc etc.)
Table of results (45 men):

Before After
Semen Volume (ml) 2.2 2.7
Concentration (m/ml) 26 30
Motility (%) 58 65
TMSC (m) 36 44

In the 2010 WHO data (https://www.who.int/reproductivehealth/topics/infertility/co...)

Percentile ml
2.5 1.2
5 1.5
10 2
25 2.7
50 3.7
75 4.8
90 6
95 6.8
97.5 7.6

So these men had really low semen volume to start with.

The one thing I would note is that semen volume varies a lot over time. And so 45 men, taking two samples is really not a lot of data. My own data (samples 48 hours apart over a one month period) has median of 5.17 with IQR 4.91-5.84.

> Is it really proprietary

"Proprietary" is a vague term, and admittedly its application to anything FOSS is dubious, but in this particular case I was applying it to the process surrounding building & listing on F-Droid, so it would include both software (non-proprietary) and also human processes (seemingly proprietary? maybe?).

My use of the term in this context was merely to emphasise the non-idiomatic nature of it.

> AFAIK, they are just doing what every major Linux distro does - they rebuild all software they ship from source on trusted build infra.

There's reasonable arguments for doing this for a Linux distro where interoperability with the OS & general configuration scaffolding is key. For example, having a specific packaging format is made much easier by having build infra to build that package. F-Droid uses Google's packaging format. The apps run on a Google-managed OS, and interact with Google APIs & config. There's nothig F-Droid is adding here in the runtime context.

> Much harder to slip in malware unnoticed

Highly debatable; particularly given the outdated nature of their build infra.

> makes sure the source is publicly available

It does but you don't need a custom build pipeline to ensure this.

> and has the correct license

You definitely don't need custom build to ascertain this.

> as well as that it can actually be built outside of developers laptop

This is a reasonable argument, but the hurdle still seems high for minimal benefit.
>The virtual DOM overhead is a problem. However, saying it’s pure overhead and then not qualifying how much is a catastrophic failure of reasoning.

Svelte's main point is that the performance claims of frameworks like React are just bullshit marketing-speak. That I agree with it. The value of JS UI frameworks in general, isn't in performance, but rather to provide a "declarative, state-driven UI development" because raw JS/HTML/CSS development is terrible and makes it easy to make terrible architectural decisions and write unmaintainable spaghetti code. In this way, whether you go with Vue or React or Angular, it makes no effin difference to performance.

But yes, there is overhead in managing the virtual DOM and yes, you can get yourself in trouble if you don't structure your application in line with how the framework expects you too.

>React sold us the idea that the virtual DOM could give us a better programming model and still outperform the template based frameworks of the day.

React made a stronger claim. It wasn't just about React vs some Templating framework. React tried to argue that direct DOM mutations are expensive and that using virtual DOM will yield more performance. As a general claim, that is a bullshit claim.

>Their alternative is to add more complex compiler steps, which I’m sure could work great. However it’s awfully dogmatic to suggest that this is better simply because it eliminates one kind of not-strictly-necessary overhead.

And it's not a bad argument. The DOM is an abstraction and the underlying implementation is highly optimized. DOM mutations are not the expensive thing, it's the final render, and that part has had an enormous amount of work done to make it smart and fast. By the way, Flash had a great built-in rendering model. The Flash display list hierarchy was very well architected and it wouldn't re-render the entire page if only a part of it changed.

>But this isn’t how you sell a framework to programmers, in my opinion.

Claiming your framework is faster than the other guys IS how you sell a framework to programmers. That's how React and Vue were/are being sold.
This is a dilution of the meaning of "dark pattern". darkpatterns.org which coined the term (and Wikipedia cites) says,
"When you use websites and apps, you don’t read every word on every page - you skim read and make assumptions. If a company wants to trick you into doing something, they can take advantage of this by making a page look like it is saying one thing when it is in fact saying another."

I don't see any of that in your observations. Moreover, what you attribute to some nefarious purpose is better explained by effective curriculum design. I haven't used edX lately but I worked at Coursera and I can tell you that the people who make that product have a passion to support learning in the world.

* Removing access to course materials: it's a course, not a content library. When you can access it anytime, you're less likely to do the work of learning. You also won't be part of a learning cohort, which is a valuable learning activity.

* Encouraging you to sign up for courses: this is a problem? Wouldn't someone who wants you to learn encourage you to sign up for courses? "Course began ($TODAY - 5)" that would be deceptive. Are you claiming that edX or Coursera does this?

* Breaking courses into chunks and quizzes. How the heck is this deceptive? This design decision is backed by learning science. Listening while doing dishes does not get you the best learning outcomes; it's a university-level course not a podcast.

* "Unsettling UI" "opportunity to pounce" I really don't know what to make of this one.
In the end it's about fairness. I think we all agree that the perpetrator shouldn't find respite before the victims. Unfortunately for the victims and the perpetrator that respite doesn't exist.

He may regret what he did and he certainly deserves forgiveness, but forgiveness and consequences are two different things. He has my forgiveness and I hope the victims choose to forgive him as well. The consequences are likely a permanent feature of his life.

Ultimately? Focus on:

- Relationships: The single biggest deathbed regret is neglecting relationships (either not forming them, or squandering them).

- Stress free living: Stress is one of the top causes of a short lifespan.

The 3x cap is not universal, and what it ultimately does is raise the price of insurance for younger and healthier groups. Smaller groups are exempt from that requirement.

Since my company skews younger/healthier than the average company (hey we are a startup after all, new to this) - we are able to join a state commerce association and get rates calculated on our actual risk, which saves us roughly half over the national pool. I think it also takes full medical history into account, to again give us lower rates.

But of course the global effect of this, is as younger and healthier groups leave the national pool - those left gets even HIGHER rates, as the super profitable healthy young people are gone. And the more the global pool rates go up, the more people pull out. Until the national pool is only sick and old groups, with insane rates.

I have professional experience in Angular and it is simply a framework for building applications. It hits that out of the park.

I genuinely tried React and had to ditch it. Way too much drama just to manage state. It is clearly for building components, not applications.

I don't think comparing the two is relevant. Angular gets in your way if you are just building components but it unleashes a deluge of productivity instantly if you need to build an application--especially for a team.
