I stopped using classic ads for monetarization years ago. Coming from someone who lived of AdSense for a while.

What I do is Building relevant ads to my content when I find fitting affiliate programs. As they are just text (or image) with an link they ain't blocked and respect my users privacy.

I would argue that are the only actually targeted ads. And lucky content creators won't be blocked either (usually)

Other projects I just go for a paid or free/paid model.
Having written C++ for 30 years now, which is 75% of my life, I don't disagree from a personal point of view.

However, at one point I was teaching programming at the university. At that point you realize that C++ is .. huge. It may be fine for me, but is it the right choice for someone starting out?

That said I do love new languages personally. I like to study how they do things. I found that Clojure had nearly the exact concurrency model I prefer to use in C++, and much nicer metaprogramming. As a result, I use it for all web stuff these days.

When it comes to the Covid19 vaccine, we were all being fed fear every day on how the vaccine was rushed, and how some were the first of their kind, untested long-term. And a lot of people decided to take it anyway, because a one percent mortality rate is an unacceptable risk to most.

Some quick googling shows that in 1940, there were 235k reported smallpox cases [2] with a world population of 2.3b [1]. 235k * 0.3 mortality rate = 70.5k. 2.3b / 70.5k = 32624. So if you were alive in the year 1940, you had a 1/9787 chance to have smallpox, and a 1/32624 chance to get, and pass away from smallpox.

1/32624 chance to die of smallpox in 1940, versus a 1/500000 (worst case scenario) chance to die of the smallpox vaccine. They can call the vaccine whatever they want. The flaws of any vaccine should be scrutinized under the public eye, but I'll always take the better odds when it comes to risking my life - and I'd assume a lot of us are here today because earlier generations of their own family had similar sentiment towards self-preservation.

> I wonder if it's patent law that's keeping them secretive

Many insulin forms are no longer patented. Last year patents (at least in Europe) expired from some quick acting insulin variants and as a result insurers here are forcing everyone to cheaper generics. Side effect: Not all have the same solutions, though the insulin is the same. Despite what the insurers say, YMMV if you switch due to different solutions being present.

So I do not think patents on the product is a real issue. Maybe patents on the production method.

Our (Not the USA ) system seems to work well for some aspects of health care.
I know. It's a classic.
The difference between sync level and black level in analog TV standards is about 15% of maximum transmitter power. This means that any noise added that is more than 7.5% of max power will confuse the TV to detect sync as black and black as sync. In practice, a 20dB SNR or less will be completely unwatchable.

The Shannon limit for a 5Mhz channel with 20 dB SNR is 17 Mbit/s and latest DTV standards approach this, easily 10, maybe 15 Mbit. That's enough for a HD channel in perfect quality or many more in SD.

So the problem is not with analog vs digital, that debate is long settled. It's the specific tradeoffs made when digital TV was deployed.
The safety has to be guaranteed. For that the labs have to be certified where the Insulin is made or extracted, that costs money. It cannot be a ghetto lab operation like the manufacture of Illegal drugs.
If I understand correctly the problem is that if you go to one of their labs they'll cook you a batch in no time (we know the genes, you can order a plasmid that has all the bells and whistles needed to get it made in yeast), but it'd be illegal for many reasons. (They can't sell it without FDA approval for one, they'd need an approved factory for that, and they are infringing on patents.)

They obviously can't advertise this, but in videos they almost literally spell this out. So they do this strange outreach instead, with no clear steps in sight. Plus as others mentioned it's easy to buy insulin. ($25 at Walmart.)

About how easy it is to make recombinant insulin I recommend this channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3FcbFqSoQY

> * If we have one set, we can definitely pick an element from it.

Can we? How?

The point of a set is that it doesn't distinguish between its elements in any way. It's not ordered, there is no special element, etc. So how can you pick one element from a set?

If you pick a total ordering over the elements in the set, then you can easily pick the smallest, or largest. But that's not picking an element from a set, it's picking an element from a specific ordering of that set! You can't do that without coming up with an actual ordering!

Is picking an element from a single finite set something you can build using ZF? Or is it another, less controversial, axiom? What do constructivists think about this? Is there a flavour of mathematics where this axiom is not assumed? What are the consequences of that?
To be specific, that should be the default :) By “reasonable fallbacks”, I meant more that your application should fail gracefully when modules / components fail to load. Escalators become stairs as their failure mode.

As for Rust being a long term replacement for C++, just think how C++ dominates the Apple, Google, Microsoft, NVidia, AMD, Playstation, Switch, HPC, HPF, games middleware, LLVM and GCC ecosystems, and how after 40 years there are domains C++ has failed to take away from C despite being a much better and safer language.

Rust and C++ will co-exist for many decades to come.

I do not believe that everyone deciding to eat something different is "fixing" the food scarcity problem in the same way that desalinization (ignoring all other issues with it as we assumed technology improved to solve them also) "fixes" water scarcity: if everyone is told tomorrow "all water will safely come from desal" we might breath a collective sigh of relief... "starting tomorrow, all food will be replaced by seaweed" a lot of people are going to be super super pissed, right? Maybe even more basic: making enough potatoes to technically satisfy everyone's calorie requirements (ignoring nutrition) might be a technological problem, but the "similar change in food culture" is kind of begging the question, as if we could just cause that change before all the food was gone maybe we could still enjoy the occasional potato (a luxury in our new era of food molded out of seaweed), and if we could get equivalent cultural shifts in how people use transportation (along with food changes, such as not eating meat) maybe we could stave off climate change without technological fixes: if you are relying on a cultural change it isn't a technological fix, and if the way the cultural change will happen is because no one will have a choice... well, then you didn't fix anything in the first place!

Somewhat not well known among all mathematical circles, but Diaconescu's theorem states that the law of the excluded middle follows from the axiom of choice[0]. This means if you wish to work in constructive mathematics (which has great overlap with computer science), not only you must not take LEM as given but also not take choice as given.

There is much to say—mathematically, computationally and philosophically—on the axiom of choice and its variants (countable choice, dependent choice) and subtle interactions with other axioms.[1][2][3]

From my experience most mathematicians accept the axiom of choice (or an equivalent statement such as Zorn's lemma[4][5] or Teichmüller-Tukey[6]) because of its pervasiveness and usefulness in many areas of math, such as completeness of first-order logic, existence of a basis of any vector space, showing products of compact topological spaces are compact, and more.

> This is modulo natural sources and syncs, of course, but CO2's half-life in the atmosphere is long enough that on the immediate timescale those influences can be ignored.

On the immediate time scale, anything can be ignored. Climate change is not about what's going to happen immediately.

Excess CO2 "officially" has a half-life of around 20 years, but this begs the question as to what "excess" actually means. If an increase in CO2 leads to an increase in plant growth and therefore an increased capacity of further uptake down the road, that excess may now in fact be required to maintain plant growth. Those "excess plants" can't wait for all the other plants to decompose and return to the carbon cycle, because that happens on a much longer timescale.

I don't see that this aspect is accounted for in the IPCC models: https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/11/1887/2018/

> I've never had a conversation with an old timer about what it was like back in their day where they weren't extremely in tune with race relations in their hometown with the kind of specificity and subtleties that twitter and other media today just don't have the capacity for.

I’ve had plenty with white oldtimers that weren't, even oldtimers who clearly think (or thought at the time) that they were. Oh, sure, they'd have a detailed narrative of race relations, but the details in the narrative would often have as much to do with reality as a Baghdad Bob press briefing.

Because, see, I am a bit of an oldtimer, and not-white (but also raised by educated middle class white parents), so not only could I hear the detailed narratives with their convenient stories about rsce relations and all the narratives around culture, education, etc. that painted a rosy picture of race qua race, I also was kind of optimally positioned to see through the B.S. of many of those narratives.

Yeah, people told stories, but they told them within their in-group, and selected and embellished them to fit their own worldview and the image they wanted to project of themselves and their identity group.

Of course, in a sense that's still the same now, but there is a lot more spread of unfiltered recordings of events outside a narrow oligopolistic media system and unfiltered escape of messages sent within one group to those outside of the group.
