having worked in various administrations, the time / energy / resources wasted due to old paper based workflow is flabbergasting

you'd think after 50 years of mainstream computing they'd have some kind of adequate infrastructure but it's really really sad (they still have paper inbox for internal mail routing errors)

There's no such thing as "true universal" healthcare and can't be because it has an inherently limited supply..

Either you have market pricing (existed before Medicaid), shortages of care with rationing (talk to old people from Canada and the UK if you don't think their health care is rationed), or some gross hybrid (the current American system)

He obviously lives by a certain ethos of self-reliance so not sure he would have talked to experts if could.

But makes me wonder: given it so easy now to find the experts compared to 2000, to google what they think - it is easier to get discouraged?

Am I wrong to think, "It's hard to put lipstick on a pig?" Sales can do something, but there's no substitute for actually bringing some unique value. Many companies are middle tier suppliers and are replaceable. No amount of sweet talking is going to change that. Maybe this advice is only for those companies that are in that top echelon.

The Ryokan that they mention he always stayed at is apparently very good:

"Concierge service at the breakfast table is good, but the story goes on. On my way out one of the porters silently approached me and said: “Schwarze-sama, we checked the weather forecast and there will be rain this evening. So here is an umbrella to take along. Also, we took the liberty of reserving a table at that restaurant you wanted to go. Oh and last thing: here is a city plan for you where we already detailed down the way to Fushimi Inari.” It goes without saying that the guy responsible for my shoes already set out my hiking shoes and not one of my city or evening shoes. Even he knew of my plans."
The Egyptian example sounds like a Mitch Hedberg routine.

The article suggests that government employees may be consulting with YouTube in these censorship decisions.

And that consultation would seem to be prohibited by the first amendment, just as police aren't allowed to consult with PIs to violate people's rights, even if the PIs volunteer to do so.

(In other words, it's the gov employees, not YouTube, who would be violating people's rights by doing this.)
Delta variant not driving surge in hospitalizations in UK, health data shows
I want to be able to preserve two parallel commit histories: one where the the commits are ordered by time, and another where the commits are ordered by 'story'. Git could cryptographically verify that the end-states of the two histories are identical, and allow me to alter the storied history at will (shifting hunks between commits, splitting/combining commits, reordering commits etc), where during merge both histories are preserved.

I don't really follow your naming critique though. "commit groups" seems like a fine name, they are groups of commits. What you describe I would call "committer groups".
I mean when someone says 'sweet and savory pies predate the Americas' are they suggesting that the Americas didn't exist until European colonisation?

Pie has existed from at least 2,000 BC. The Americas have been inhabited since at least 15,000 BC.
While I agree with you, that's how the supreme court has interpreted the constitution.

Let's take the strawman out of the picture and accept the fiction that corporations are not people. But, they are still not the state. They do not replace government services in any meaningful way -- choice of what to publish, and what not to publish, is firmly the role of private persons and commerce. Maintaining social media sites is not the role of government. Ergo, this is not state censorship.

Rich SV types don’t seek housing because landlords appear to rent it to us. We seek housing because we get jobs. Each SV type who rents a new home is one who’s not competing for an existing home.

If you want to put a stop to the kind of development that is actually causing SV types to materialize, that would be offices. Offices are are generally popular and unobjectionable.

It absolutely can be, and it's absolutely something to watch out for, but I'm not sure that it is government censorship in this case. YouTube is choosing who to ask ostensibly due to their expertise, not because of government threats or enforcement.

That said, a few years ago one of things that kicked off the change from being relatively hands-off to more active content censorship by all of these platforms was being dragged before Congress and lectured and threatened that, if they didn't start voluntarily censoring content, the government would force them to. Those government threats, though they lacked immediate legal force, really do constitute government censorship. So there's an argument to be made that this whole new world of "voluntary" censorship by platform providers really is at its core government censorship.
As already mentioned, there's plenty of innovation happening still with packaging, plus even on the IC level there's all kinds of possibilities for advancement: new transistor designs (to reduce power consumption or to increase density by decreasing spacing), monolithic 3D ICs (the vast majority of current 3D approaches are manufacturing multiple wafers or dies then wiring them together; if you can do it on a single wafer you can do a lot more movement between layers). Plus there's always the potential to move away from silicon to make transistors even smaller.

Away from the IC level itself we're only just starting to scratch the surface of optimisation algorithms for many NP-hard problems that occur in IC design, like floor plan arrangement.
Is YouTube doing that voluntarily, or is that consultation required by law?
If you can just flood in outside air then you don't need any pure gas at all.

If need pure gas, for example you're trying to avoid losing your air conditioning or you're aiming for sub-ambient CO2, then you can't mix in lots of outside air. For the former you'd need enormous amounts of cooling and humidity adjustment, and for the latter outside air will actually make your job harder. So in those circumstances, the math is very simple. A human outputs X CO2, you want X to be a fraction of a thousandth of the air, you either scrub it or you add thousands of X in purified oxygen+nitrogen.

Sounds like arch with extra steps. Why use it and not arch?
For me the dividing line is in how productive the thought is. If the thought leads to new understanding and behavioral change, I'd call neither regret nor worry obsessive.

That said, there's a bit of a definitional trick being played here by most people. In the just-released "The Tomorrow War", one character is portrayed as irritatingly obsessive about a science topic. Their detailed knowledge turns out to be useful later, at which point respect for him is portrayed. The judgment criteria shift in retrospect, even though the behavior is the same.

A darker example comes from "Maus", a memoir about a Jew who barely escaped Nazi Germany. His pre-escape behavior in abstract could easily be described as obsessively worried. But in practice, the ones who were more "reasonable" went into the ovens.

My takeaway from this is that apparently maladaptive behavior is often just adaptive to a different environment. That's certainly my experience.

I really don't see it that way. Web browsing used to be considered a very light task that almost any hardware could handle, but the performance demands have been steadily climbing for quite some time.
I doubt I know a single person that knows this (me included, until now at least). Fortunately I've never seen this actually being used. It's a bit troubling that the promise version behaves differently because most people view try/catch to be generally equivalent to the code that uses promises.

Facebook's censoring of #Revolution via their claims of moral superiority should frighten the shit out of every free person on earth. While we still have it reasonably good in America, their willingness to suppress speech in good times doesn't bode well for people who will be oppressed during bad times.

The first amendment made it clear that not even the government had the authority to use their vast moral authority, as they exercise through the legal system, to prevent people from speaking and organizing.

But #BigTech has a nuclear option on the speech on the web's most visible ecosystem, social media, through purely market forces and are doing the bidding of a single political party, exclusively. It's not just horrifying that they amassed so much unchecked power, but since 2016 they're actively using and abusing it to suppress legitimate political speech in every nook and cranny they control.

> YouTube is choosing who to ask ostensibly due to their expertise, not because of government threats or enforcement.

It sounds like you've accepted the article's claim that YouTube is consulting government employees.

If that's the case, aren't any gov employees who collaborate with YouTube here engaging in censorship?

Imagine an analogous situation: a PI goes to the police and offers to break into a suspect's home and collect evidence, if the police will tell the PI what to look for. Accepting that offer and advising the PI on what to collect would be a violation of the suspect's rights, even if the police are merely consulting on the PIs voluntary actions.
What's interesting about Flow to me is that on the face of it it's the exact opposite of mindfulness. As a meditation teacher, I've learnt that meditative spaces are those where you are concentrating fully on the moment, and your thoughts in that moment. The specific scientific basis for this is activation of your PNS and suppression of your SNS.

As a musician, I also understand extremely well the Flow state, or "being in the zone" as us muso's call it.

The two states are similarly euphoric and blend many traits, but they seem very different in attention terms. Fascinating stuff.

The essay I read on skin color says that dietary sources of vitamin D and folate plays a big role. As well as prehistoric population migrations.

There are dietary sources of Vitamin D and it's produced via Sun exposure. Folate levels are reduced by sunlight exposure. And there are dietary sources. So the two are in conflict vis sun exposure.

Because of the mild climate you can grow grains in northern Europe. That diet is low in Vitamin D and high in folatess. As a result Northern Europeans rapidly lost the ability to produce melanin over the last 5000 years.

On the other hand there are no black skinned native Americans because the founding population had already lost some of the genes needed.

Do you mean finally? Even so, it doesn't automatically unset the result, it's just able to overwrite it. If a finally doesn't execute a return or throw, the previous one is used.

The Bay Area cannot hope to cancel all the car subsidization done at the state and national level. More active measures are needed.

I really fundamentally disagree. Even if we accept liberatarianism for individual and business choices by default, land is a public good in finite supply in fixed position. Isolated actors developing land as they please can cause public harm because the utility of land is based on how surrounding land is used.

We need to collectively agree cars and single family homes hold the bay area back, and then collectively work to move away from both, to replace wholesale self-perpetuating car culture with self-perpetuating public transit apartment culture.
And it only got worse when that moved to soft switches (e.g. "press Fn-F6 to toggle wifi"). Typically the on-screen feedback would only work in DOS, or would depend on a weird vendor utility, so there might not be any obvious indication when you switched it off.

Media owners have always used their ownership to push their own version of reality. I guess the difference now is that we have allowed so much concentration of media ownership in so few hands. Antitrust is pretty much dead from what I can tell.

How is this comment shocking to you? I actually was using the stock price and public information on their earnings to make a point. The point being that no, these companies aren't losing customers in droves and if you look at their performance from a 3 or 5 year perspective, most breaches have had very little material impact on the companies.

I disagree with you on SolarWinds being fucked... Sure, lots of folks are going to drop it, but they are closing new deals. The types of people that buy things like SolarWinds aren't buying the products because its a good technology.

Not sure what insurance you have been looking at, but many of the larger businesses will essentially write out what they want covered (for example IR, infrastructure replacement due to hacking, business loss due to downtime, professional service implementation, support, PR assistance, etc.), and then the insurance company will come up with a price based on their calculations of risk.

Sure, if an SMB goes and gets a "cyber policy" they are gonna be lots of technicalities, just like a mass market homeowners policy.

You're assuming infinite variety exists, or can exist. That's so absurd that it's hard to believe it was meant in good faith. No, I can't just select from a menu. What if I want good schools and other facilities that few towns have, and proximity to the people/places that matter to me, and a town that's not so much single-family-home wasteland everywhere but the center? What if I want other people who aren't millionaires to have access to some of these things? Oops, me moving doesn't solve that. Sometimes you have to build the kind of place you want (or think should exist) and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Every town that already exists has been shaped by the conscious choices of people who live there and vote there and serve in offices there. I have just as much right to push for what I want as any of them did.

P.S. Almost forgot to point out the "making them all the same" strawman. Never suggested that, champ.

Unfortunately, we don't have great records of pre-Columbian food in the Americas. That being said, wrapping a filling in pastry, putting it in a dish, and baking it in an oven is not that hard to independently come up with.

The Columbian exchange has really big impacts on food even on countries that did not participate in colonization of the Americas. Potatoes don't exist in Russian cuisine until then; same for chili peppers in India or Korea.

The thing that really bothers me about Weinstein's approach is that, while he and his wife are scientists, they're exceedingly quick to assert their hunches as scientific fact. They wear their scientist labels on their sleeves but their thinking is far more ideological. In a recent podcast about fluoridation in tap water, they were talking about how they avoid iodized salt, because iodine is a reactive chemical and you don't want to OD on it. Ludicrous. You'd sooner die from the sheer quantity of salt you'd have to ingest before the iodine even starts to become a problem.
Yes, I am invested in crypto, and yes, I agree that crypto makes some forms of crime easier. There is no denying that, but I stand by my opinion regarding ransomware. Ransomware does not exist because of crypto, it's just the method of payment. If crypto goes away, then the method of payment will become more complicated, which in turn will likely make the ransoms higher, and the turn around times slower.
