Your telecom actually is responsible for moderating your usage - try consistently pirating media without a good blocklist in the US and see how long you keep your service. Most providers will cut you off after a half-dozen or so nastygrams, and that's just for the light offense of copyright infringement.

Your telecom also uses tax money to fund its infrastructure deployments, and it is regulated as more than an ordinary private company.
This reads like some kind of Sovereign Citizen / Time Cube babble.
What is helping people most in need other then giving more to one side at the expense of other?

I joke here, ultimately all society is a form of altruism.
Equity is not equality and never has been. Equity in life means making it less likely that random events are liable to make it impossible to live a life. The other word for it is fairness.

We don't achieve that. We have many rules that are obviously stacked for some group or another, and these synergize with each other.
The simplest one that is technically available to everyone is inheritance - but of course poor have nothing to leave to their children. Nations make rules that stack the deck for their citizens. Social roles, jobs and their interactions with status are often easily stacked too. And so on.

Genetics are often relatively weak compared to these rules - it mostly comes into play when comparing people from roughly similar backgrounds.
There's more than a remote possibility that anyone you think is worth learning from has done or said things that other people consider awful.

Your logic is exactly the reason many people tell us we shouldn't bother learning too much about, say, the founders of American democracy.
Maybe “meeting” has the wrong shade of meaning here. The comparison isn’t to a pro-forma “let’s sit down for 30 minutes and focus on discussing this” meeting. It’s more to a “war room” continuous-until-it’s-fixed meeting that happens in response to an incident:

• bringing all stakeholders together with exactly one goal (in a startup-as-meeting, that’s “finding product-market fit”),

• where everyone in the room has domain expertise and heavily-overlapping capabilities;

• and any non-shared knowledge relevant to solving the problem that each stakeholder brings in with them, is immediately pulled out and put on the table, until there is formed a complete shared understanding of the problem,

• and micro-tasks / “there’s always another thing” tasks are then being greedy-scheduled by whoever’s free and able jumping to take them on next;

• with everyone keeping track well-enough of what the solution-space for each task is looking like, that at any time the person working on a task can drop it to work on something else more urgent+suited to them, and someone else will be able to immediately pick up that task — not because the other person had the time to document everything and make onboarding to the solution-space easy for them, but rather because everyone was learning all they could about everything everyone else was doing in expectation that they might have to jump in.

In regular work, you do heads-down work and then you explicitly decide to “have a meeting”, which interrupts your heads-down work for a while. In a war room, you’re always “in” the continuous meeting, and people explicitly decide to break off to do heads-down work while the meeting continues around them. (Usually with one ear open to notice if they need to jump back in and contribute/adjust the course of the plans being made.)

For extremely-early-stage startups (i.e. founders and no-one else), this is what every day looks like. Rather than dividing up the problem along lines of domain-expertise (a sort of human Service-Oriented Architecture for problem-solving, with single-person “departments”), you instead essentially act together as one “multi-core person” to solve problems.

IMHO, if this isn’t how most hours of the day at your early-stage startup look, then you either don’t have the right founders, or you don’t have enough shipping pressure (i.e. “too much” runway.)
As far as i can tell, the study did not collect any patient genotype information nor does it claim antibody expression differences were do to genetic deferences between patients.

Recent statistic I heard from an ER physician in Cincinnati, Ohio: several hundred people currently in the ICU city-wide with COVID (probably delta variant), only 2-3% of them are vaccinated.

Vaccinated people can get the delta variant (though with a lower probability of infection) but are often asymptomatic or have a very mild case. The vaccine is highly effective (>95%) at preventing severe COVID even if infection occurs. Unfortunately the vaccinated can spread delta even if they have no or mild symptoms.

In Ohio vaccination rates are high in the cities and low in rural areas, which unfortunately are also the areas under-served by hospitals.
Yeah. I did a lot of work with blood measures and every disease had some characteristic spike in n immune function. I worked in a lab with a ton of immunologists and we never knew what was going on. All we could say was activation of complement or strong TNF response or something else descriptive but not really helpful. Just too much dark matter in the immune system. My big hope is that the silver lining of COVID will be a much deeper understanding of the immune system. Certainly a ton of money is being poured into it. Fingers crossed, we could be entering a golden age for immuno-therapeutics.
They need to be greedy to be able to pay out judgements like this!

Yes I know, the greed came first.

To the extent that these changes actually improve the non-functional quality attributes of the system, those gains can be converted into business or customer utility.

Improved maintainability => lower innovation costs, and those savings can turn into profits and/or happier customers.

Improved security => reduced risk of exploit, and that improved posture can be turned into profits and/or happier customers.

I acknowledged that not all changes of the sort you list do yield actual improvement in the quality attributes.
It's unfair to assume they don't know what revenue is. Comparing it to the revenue is perfectly valid. Amazon famously didn't make a profit for many years, does that mean that they couldn't afford any fine during that period? I think it implies that the profit of a company is a poor indicator of their wealth and what they can afford.

Tesla agrees to pay $1.5M to settle battery throttling lawsuit
It is not exactly a novel development that infection is neutralized by neutralizing antibodies, and the way the article is written suggests the existence of some cross-sectional variation whereas the more plausible explanation is a longitudinal decline in neutralizing antibodies beyond a sterilizing threshold, despite a more durable presence of binding antibodies which may be responsible for diminishing the severity of breakthrough disease. This is also suggested by the fact the ratio of binding to neutralizing antibodies shortly after full vaccination is very high, something like 4-to-1, which ratio likely explains why the dosing had to be so violently high. What I think was unexpected is the pace of decline in neutralizing antibodies, and possibly also the rising threshold of sterilizing immunity under the newly prevalent variants.

I consider journalist sensationalist as well, but in this case:

1) Tesla is a stock market darling, so a lot of people have a lot of money riding on it. Some of those people may make different decisions with extra information they didn't have previously like the commonness of electrical fires. So we're not always talking about industry experts here. Could just be Joe Smoe software developer who plowed his equity grant into the stonk after vesting.

2) Tesla does market big battery packs to go in the home as well, which means this is a safety issue for people considering that. It's not like they are replacing existing battery packs and know the details. They are replacing either nothing or a diesel generator from Home Depot, so they may not be familiar with the advantages and disadvantages. Tesla doesn't have a good reason to be more forthcoming than is legally required either, leaving it to journalists.

So yeah, journalists just want eyeballs to sell ads to, but Tesla just wants to sell electric stuff. The latter has less reason to be truthful about the dangers.
> There is a trend to call many modern games "immersive sims" and somehow they don't produce such stories.

For what it's worth, "immersive sim" is more a sub-genre of first-person action game (games with a heavy focus on world-building, player choice, and stealth, heavily inspired by the games Thief and Deus Ex) than a descriptor. It fit better when it was first introduced in the early aughts, when those games were notably more interactive than the more static worlds of fast-paced, action-first, twitchy shooters of the era (Quake, Half-Life, Unreal, etc).

Every term used to describe social situations will become ideologically and politically loaded.

Originally it was a word used to describe what I mentioned in the other branch, social privilege, a general set of rules that affect you which enable concentration of means and power. It is not a result of these rules which was the main point of confusion.

It's not an original sin then, the rules can be changed to be more equitable. (Though some changes done under this name are either ineffective or wrong in principle.)

Then someone rightly decided to call whiteness a privilege (a complex of rules pertinent to people declared by society as white, by contrast with the opposite of them), and then somehow it was conflated with immutable characteristics. Yes, a person with light skin color might not actually be or act "white".

Another example: age cannot be changed (at least without), but ageism can. Age is not a privilege, set of rules pertinent to may be. (Some positive, others negative, protective or harmful.)

The opposite of privilege as sum total (which is beneficial rules) is mostly kyriarchy (set of oppressive rules, mostly hierarchies). Perhaps that is a better focus, at least for now.

I'll add - drives from different brands. I had a mirrored RAID 1 fail at one point (in the '00s, spinning magnetic hard drives), two identical drives, and they failed within days of each other. One drive died, I ordered a replacement, and before the replacement arrived the second drive died. The shock and disbelief I felt of my foolproof RAID solution going belly-up on me! And I still can't believe I didn't turn off the machine while I waited for the replacement to arrive.
> Who better than a conspiracy theorist to report on actual conspiracies?

Conspiracy theorists don't typically report on real conspiracies, they report on imagined ones.

So having a conspiracy theorist report on a real conspiracy can actually have the effect of making the real conspiracy less believable (e.g. a stopped clock may be right twice a day, but you'll disbelieve it even then).
Exactly. When it was young, the internet was about communication. Now it is about money and all the tackiness that comes with it.
Taking the "good enough" approach in life has probably left a lot of potential on the table, but it really has gotten the maximal utility out of any work I put in. It's probably ~50%-100% more work to go from a B+ in life to a straight A.
The author spends most of his time ranting about Xamarin Forms, but the article is also about the advantages of the Uno platform.

Unfortunately it's apparently tied to C#, which I'm not familiar with at all...
Milk-derived therapeutics for infectious diseases
Hi, I'm Ishita, cofounder of Matrubials. We are developing milk-derived therapeutics to address infectious diseases.

I have extensive experience in microbiology and infectious diseases in both academia and industry. Taken together, our founding team has ~100 years of combined experience in microbiology and ecology, food science and chemistry and my cofounders have previously founded other health companies with specialized products (eg. Evolve Biosystems and BCD Bioscience).

We have been focused on structure-function analysis of mammalian milk and the benefits individual components can bring to human health for about two decades. In recent years, we discovered peptides in milk that have selective antimicrobial activity, meaning that they know who the pathogens are, and essentially go after them fast for elimination while bypassing the "good" bugs, leaving them around to continue their jobs. That was the moment we decided we needed to bring these to the market.

One niche in the human body where the imbalance between the good and the bad is really bad, is the human vagina. We've been focusing on specific bacteria that reside in the normal human vagina and those that take over to cause disease. In particular, we hope to reduce the burden of bacterial vaginosis, which remains unresolved with current antibiotics. This is especially important because these infections tend to recur, and can lead to secondary infections and reproductive issues.

Antibiotic discovery is hard, technically and financially. To develop candidate molecules from early stage research to clinically viable products, with efficacy and safety that do better than current standard-of-care, is a major challenge. An opportunity like this one doesn't come around often so we're pretty excited about it.

Converting milk components into therapeutics- now isn't that a great hack? We think so! Happy to hear your thoughts and answer questions!

Genetic determinism is pseudoscience that is generally associated with eugenism and scientific racism. Giving this much importance to genes is a fringe belief.

Who's better positioned to pay a fine, an individual contractor who makes $1mil profit in a year or an unspecified company that makes no profit but has a >$1B market cap and high revenues?

It feels like the person I replied to first is so eager to assume others don't understand the difference between profit and revenue that they miss the forest for the trees.
Totally agree, thanks for the feedback! We're trying to find the right balance on leaning into the connection point and demonstrating expertise within categories, and we still have work to do there.
The idea of trying to not store calculated data seems to be a way to say "avoid caching if you can". That makes sense to me since caching can be really hard to deal with, and if you don't need the performance avoiding it makes the code simpler.
Different engineers do different work. Not everyone is running 10+ processes and referring to reference guides all day, some, like myself, spend most of our days writing emails or reviewing PRs, neither of which really necessitate lots of screen real estate.
Like worrying about the first tiny scratch on your new car or new phone. Eventually it happens, you feel bad, but then are free from the burden of perfection.
The contractors who love us are small, independent shops who are great at their craft, but not great at sales & marketing. Unlike lead-gen services, we send them jobs with defined scope and payment. We need to be really good at scoping because if we botch it, then we take liability for that rather than putting it on the contractor. We've had contractors hire more people to their team and buy additional service trucks, purely based on the volume we send them.

Scaling will be a lot of complex work but we've built systems like that in the past at UberEats, where Chris was one of the first GMs, and at Opendoor (largest homebuyer in the US).

Why should any manufacturer replace a product that you eat around the computer and crack the screen with hard as rock crumbs?

I'm sure apple knows what the screen looks like when it cracks on it's own. Apple would replace it if it's a single hairline crack. They will not replace it if it looks like you shut anything in between the keyboard and screen. Why would they?

I don't know about the i860, but accelerator cards for math-heavy workloads are still a thing, of course. I remember seeing a brochure for an add-on card with one or two Cell CPUs, Intel has (had?) their Xeon Phi, and of course GPUs are very popular for things other than graphics.

Intel, for better or worse, are a victim of their own success. On the plus side, their success gave them lots of money to throw at the problem of making faster x86 CPUs. It seems, though, that Intel is gradually running out of luck, with AMD and now Apple introducing strong competitors, and Intel's advantage in fabrication eroding. So CPU-/ISA-wise, things could get very interesting in the foreseeable future.

Its Australia and they're very much worried about forest fires right now.

No different than all the fire-reports from PG&E when wildfires were raging in California.

------------

The thing about these Li-Ion batteries, in general, is that electricity serves as a natural "spark" and the electrolyte serves as a natural "fuel".

No other storage mechanism stores both "spark sources" AND "fuel sources" together. As such, any Lithium-Ion battery installation is suspect. It doesn't matter if you're making Samsung batteries or utility scale batteries in Australia, a Lithium Ion battery can (and do regularly) spontaneously combust.

Sure, you can point to larger explosions like Beirut explosion: but that fertilizer only caught on fire when nearby fireworks caught on fire from them wielding a roof. That's how these normal fire accident stories go: you have a hilarious amount of incompetence involved.

Not so with Li-Ion.

-------

In the case of California's PG&E, we have 100-year old electrical lines that are operating well outside of their expected lifespan... to the point that we can see them physically drooping from the summer heat. Its a clear cut case of "lack of funding".

In contrast, this here is a brand new Lithium-Ion battery pack. It deserves the eyeballs. Heck, the other fire incidents deserve the eyeballs too (fires are dangerous), even if they're somewhat understandable.
