> It's not about whether more than one person could come up withe idea, it's that he pitched it to his own employer, met multiple times with execs to discuss acquisition, only for them to suddenly cut him off and directly copy what he proposed with no remuneration.

> That is not the same as two disparate people who have never communicated coming up with the same idea for something.
> There are already 32 randomized, controlled trials showing a positive effect from the drug.

These are low-quality studies with few participants, they don't add up to one high-quality study. For all I know, there could be 32 studies that show a negative effect, you just don't mention them. If we then did a meta-analysis, we might find that they cancel each other out.

Despite the lack of high-quality studies, Ivermectin is already in widespread use in many countries. If Ivermectin was truly a miraculous drug against COVID, shouldn't we be able to observe that in the field? (Do we?)

More commentary on this topic from Derek Lowe: https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2021/07/14/wh...
The parent seemed to be pretty clearly focusing on the US. I don’t think the idea was that the US experience extrapolates to allot most countries.
Could be similar to those "are you or have you ever been in a terrorist organization" forms you sign when traveling to the US. Create a law that makes it illegal to lie on that question and then it's often easier to arrest/deport people for lying on a form (or to an officer) than to convict them of a bigger offense.
This fills my heart with joy.
It was a question as evidenced by the question marks.

Your answer, as far as I can discern, is that it "Of course" it is "fair and reasonable that goods sold in India should be made in India, that movies that show in India should be made in India, that all news consumed in India should be written in India."

That's all there is to it, question asked, and answered.
You seem to be blisfully unaware of the world around you and have a set of opinions that is based on that limited experience. That's fine with me. Having lived in Drenthe (Exloo), Groningen, Amsterdam, Kortenhoef, Baarn, IJmuiden and probably a couple I forgot my personal take on this is that if your life has not been touched by the drug trade in NL that you should consider yourself charmed.

Lachgas is a problem, but a very minor one in comparison to harder drugs, alcohol has been a problem for a lot longer than either harder drugs or soft drugs. Unfortunately Groningen is not an exception to any of this.

Oh isn't that convenient. The definitely racist memo full of racism has so much in it that it is somehow completely impossible to quote any section at all that contains it.

Well you personally are absolutely certain that a document definitely contains racist statements despite being completely incapable of quoting even one. Seems this is an affliction that can affect quite a few people. Well seeing as that's the "logic" you can muster perhaps we should put some sort of protections in place to the shipping industry.

Mistakes People Make When Launching a Podcast
Seems a bit of a daft move, the old emoji were made to deal with the fact that Windows has to deal with a much wider range of acceptable resolutions and DPIs than their competitors (apple's high DPI screens, google's focus on phones)

I don't think that premise has changed in such a short time, though I could be wrong.

Luckily this seems restricted to what is being done through online services, like other platforms which replace singular emoji with the equivalent stickers while still keeping a separate emoji font for when they are used as part of a message
In therapy that's one thing. But I often see NVC abused as passive aggressive manipulation as opposed to open communication. This is almost always used after some alleged harm has been done. As in "let's talk about how I feel and somehow blame you for it" in some public forum with social pressures. It's about coercing people into changing their behavior and is the polar opposite of acceptance. It is a means of social control and should raise red flags whenever it's seen.
I was just addressing the claim that drive by shootings are something that happen with a significant frequency in the UK. They really aren't, as is obvious from the gun homicide stats.

The UK has one of the lowest rates of gun homicide in the world, so there is no reason to put 'low' in scare quotes in this context.

I'm not sure how representative pandemic stats would be, so it made sense to look at 2019. But I don't think you can seriously claim that drive by shootings have massively increased during the pandemic. Or at least, if you do claim this, it would be good to see a source.
I've thought about this a lot, but the stumbling block for me is getting services onboard.

The problem is that subscription services make billions annually on forgotten subscriptions. None of them want an easy "disable" slider next to their name in a convenient app. It also makes à la carte subing easy, where you sub for a month every few months to "catch up".

Basically, good luck getting an API with an easy unsubscribe command from any subscription based service.

The actual hardware details are kind of danced around a lot in both this article and the somewhat more detailed article it links to (https://www.nextplatform.com/2021/07/12/gutting-decades-of-a...).

From what I can tell, it appears to be a mix between a systolic array and Itanium. The systolic array piece is that it's a grid of (near?) identical ALUs that communicate with adjacent ALUs in lieu of registers. But it also seems that there's an instruction stream element as well, something like the function that each ALU is processing changes every clock cycle or few? It definitely sounds like there's some non-spatial component that requires faster reconfiguration times than the FPGA reconfiguration logic.

As for viability, as another commenter points out, GPUs are currently the competitor to beat. And beating them requires either having stellar results in the don't-rewrite-code space or targeting use cases that GPUs don't do well at. The latter cases involve things like divergent branches or irregular/indirect memory accesses, and these cases tend to be handled very poorly by compilers and very well by the standard superscalar architecture anyways.
Awesome! Looking forward to have you as a user :)
Always excited to hear about another person who sees the value in NVC. I've got the books on my shelf and periodically have to re-read them (and I always cringe at having to re-train myself because it is such a hard initial effort!). It is a great framework, and even better if the audience or recipient is familiar with it.

> I didn't do it perfectly (this is a hard skill to cultivate). But... we left with a better way to communicate.

Sounds like you did just fine! The framework allows you to at least identify people who reject this type of communication, because not everyone is open to it.
> Why is that the question?

Because the article is about 2030 and unless the rate of sea level rise accelerates significantly in 9 years that means sea level will be about 36 mm higher in 9 years. And it is hard for me to see how 36 mm higher sea level will flood much of anything, so it seems that the moon wobble will do most of the heavy lifting if we compare the situation today to the predicted situation in 2030.

> Is there any evidence to suggest that the sea level will completely stop rising today?

No.
"ParcPlace VisualWorks Smalltalk emulates all the supported operating systems GUIs in Smalltalk …

Digitalk (now ParcPlace) Visual Smalltalk uses more of the underlying operating system GUI, for better performance but at the price of only supporting a common subset of GUI controls …

IBM Smalltalk maps the Motif GUI widgets onto the underlying operating system widgets.This means you get a very rich kit to build your GUI, but the widgets operate at near native speed. You have the best of both worlds."

A lot of apps started to prime users before iOS asks to allow tracking by showing an innocuous screen that describes some "feature". It says something like hey, do you want us to enhance your experience by x, y, z? Or it's written like hey, just agree to the terms so you can use the app. It would be great if apps didn't have an option to show anything before this prompt.

You seem to think it’s a bad thing. I’d argue “Free” products destroy innovation. It’s extremely hard to beat gmail or Facebook without massive VC funding.
When you have shared resources between two services (such as React components), you have 2 choices: have a separate shared repo that will need to have its own versioning, and keeping it in sync with development is a pain if multiple people are working on features that touch both shared components and individual services at once, or have a monorepo where the service and shared components can just be worked on through the same repo.

The same story is true with things like APIs or types where two services need to stay in sync.

You are confusing assertiveness with aggression. Being assertive is a reaction to a stimulus (asserting a boundary), not the stimulus itself (pushing the boundary). The latter case, which is what you describe, is aggressive. There are two other interaction types: passive, and passive-aggressive. Only one of the four is healthy (generally).
To clarify some things: what is called the 'mocro mafia' is mostly about cocaine import (but also bank robberies in nowadays mostly Germany). What The Netherlands are also famous for is the production of synthetic drugs. What I wrote about attacks on a mayor is said to be coming from that angle.

I've known many entrepreneurs who have jumped to the conclusion that their idea was stolen based on the problem they are trying to solve. Then, they see similarities in the design that reinforce their confirmation bias.

The article talks about this huge problem...the genesis of his idea was this problem that 100s of people, in the airline industry, at Delta, all faced - including their technical teams, operations leadership, executives, etc. With all of those folks facing the same problem, it's not unexpected that some come with the same general solution. Practically speaking, whether it was the pilot or the technical team at Delta, anyone building a chat solution would be familiar with the same chat UIs; at some level, when have any of us used an app that had a truly unique design? Many would argue that the UX best practice is to use familiar elements, from popular apps, so not to have to re-educate the user.

That doesn't mean they didn't steal the app. However, in my experience, people with all sorts of ideas hit up executives at big companies all the time. That repetition is the basis for brand marketing. It's likely they were pitched a similar solution to that same problem both before and after that person met with their team.

Barring some egregious fraud, not mentioned in the article, or some major bad acting, it seems like a hard argument to make.

This reads as though written by someone who has never experienced being on the losing side (the long tail) of all the systems they're advocating for. It utterly fails to answer why anyone not at the top of the power curve would want society to be structured this way - most of the described "Social Contract" seems to imply precarity, replacability, and living at the edge of financial disaster for most. Meanwhile, there's little mention that those who hold real power in this kind of system are not part of the curve at all but are those choosing the algorithms and AI systems that rank everyone else.

Then there's this:

> Trickle down doesn’t work because it existed in a hierarchical structure based on the scale production technologies of the times before 2000. There was much more friction in that old system. But in a network economy, the means of production have shifted. It’s 10X more fluid, can create wealth at a much higher rate, decrease costs at a much higher rate, and the network can raise all boats.

To me this reads as "Trickle down didn't work last time, but this time it's different and it'll definitely work". How it will work this time is left as an exercise to the reader.

However, the reason companies looking to place ads, will choose modern-adtech-platform-X (Google, Facebook, etc.) over traditional advertising medium Y (billboards, TV, etc.) is that the former promises to be more targeted (using the ad”tech”) than the latter, such that there’s higher value-per-click or value-per-impression.

Without that promise, there’s no reason to favor advertising on these platforms over other platforms. Which, if you flip it around, means that there’s no reason that these platforms should be valued in excess of the traditional-advertising-impression-value of their MAU. (Which is, to be clear, a lot lower than the value these companies currently have!)

> It has a real effect

Let me play devil's advocate here. Because I worry a lot about this.

In as much as it affects the outcome of climate change you're wrong: not eating meat, driving and flying less, etc. will not, in any meaningful way, save us from what are increasingly alarming predictions regarding climate change. What you're talking about are straw men.

In fact I worry that the effect is negative because everyone pats themselves on the back for these kinds of activities and thinks they've done everything they can when, as I say, the impact of what they've done is essentially negligible and draws attention from what really is driving climate change (and noone seems to talk about).

And what really is driving climate change (and numerous other environmental issues - see massive over-fishing, environmental destruction by dredging for sand / mining for minerals, etc.) is the massive shift out of poverty of billions in people in China and India and their demands for housing, cars, travel, construction, etc. The US and Europe have had (fairly dramatically) decreasing carbon emissions for some time now, but all of those decreases (and then some) are erased by the increases in India and China. Particularly China which built 184 new coal plants in 2020 and increased its own CO2 emissions by 4% in the second half of 2020 alone: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-coal-idUSKBN2A308U .

Hopefully it does not need to be said that you cannot fault these countries for massively improving the welfare of their citizens or say that this is a bad thing. To be fair to both India and China: both are aware of (do not deny) the problem and are devoting large amounts of resources to finding solutions.

But those are the facts. You can virtue signal all you like about being vegan but really you are doing nothing to address the actual problem (and may actually diverting attention away from it).
Or these ad companies could come up with ways of making money that people don't want to block.

I despise ads, and generally approve of anything that makes ad companies sweat, but it didn't have to be that way. We are where we are because those ad companies have a sociopathically disrespectful attitude towards the people whose attention they need. With tactics like auto-playing videos, popovers, animated ads, and hideously obtrusive design, it was simply inevitable that people would try to get rid of that garbage. That approach to advertising is borne of greed and laziness, and it deserves to fail.

But there are tech blogs I read that do not adopt that approach. They have small, tasteful, non-animated ads. They don't need to violate my privacy to have a good idea of the kinds of things I'd be interested in; the fact that I'm on a tech blog means I'm more receptive to ads for tech-related tools and services. The people who run these sites have more respect for their visitors, so they choose a more respectful approach to ads.

Like I said: most companies' approach to ads is rooted in abject contempt for the people they need. If your business strategy is based on treating people badly, you have no grounds to complain when they decide not to put up with that anymore. You can either whine about how unfair it is and fail, or you can identify an approach that is appealing enough to be sustainable.

This could be a chance for that much-vaunted market-force-shaped innovation. Facebook's current strategy—whining—suggests they're still stuck in the old way of thinking: greed and laziness.

Pretty much. Getting real world data like this onto a blockchain such that the representation of it on the blockchain can be trusted is as yet an unsolved problem. Blockchains are great at managing data created internally in a trustworthy way, but not data created externally.
