No it really doesn’t. This has been demonstrated repeatedly online and the research so far is quite clear: if you make it harder to disseminate and discuss disinformation and hate speech then fewer people engage in the discussion or share the information. People may believe in stupid things, but lazy is even more powerful than stupid.
Renewable energy can only be considered inefficient compared to hydrocarbons if you ignore the externality of fossil fuel-driven climate change potentially destroying civilization.

By your analogy, growing poisonous weeds instead of food crops on farms could possibly be done more efficiently, if you ignore the externality of the effects of eating the results.
It is maybe that Moderna makes a partnership with larger drug companies for phase ii iii trials. Also maybe they try to conduct in subsaharan aferica where there are large spread rates among straights and disease is more endemic in populations.

Looks like I misunderstood, I was suggesting something more indirect than tracing calls to malloc. If you're already doing that then I'm not aware of any better low-overhead solutions. There are high-overhead options such as valgrind's dhat.
The graveyard of HIV vaccines that failed at Phase II is unfortunately large, and this isn't even there yet. I won't be holding my breath on this one. HIV is tricky.
This is a disastrous attitude.
Depending on the details of what you mean by your description of how you work, you'd either be a godsend to a startup or a nightmare. It's kind of funny how it could still be either!

I personally have gone in the opposite direction, where I spend most of my time making sure I'm not going to cause irreversible damage, and then just letting the not-critical bugs into the wild, because I'd rather ship a flawed product now and get feedback on it from actual users, than wait to ship a product until it's "perfect" and get no feedback until then.

But I respect the hell out of what you're describing here, because for every one of me, there needs to be one of you. The trick, in my experience, is getting you and I to work happily together. It's very difficult, but when it works, it's wonderful for both of us.

I just wrote a "guiding principle" for my dev team that reads:

"As long as a risk doesn't have catastrophic (irreversible) harm severity (consequences), it may be worth allowing the risk to actualize before attempting to mitigate or eliminate it."

I'm guessing you'd hate that? Any way I could make it marginally more tolerable?
> I think marketingwise the vaccine will have a very, very hard time against PrEP

Probably not. PrEP has some nasty side effects. Those who take it need to get their organ function checked every few months (I think just kidneys?).

Of course this vaccine is just entering trials. We have no idea how effective it is, or what the side effects might be. As such we can only guess and hope that it is better than PrEP - though that is a somewhat low bar.
Time. We still don't think about time properly - there are likely some huge technological gains if we can unlock time in relation to physics (not in terms of sci fi time traveling).
Beautiful. I wish I could make this my daily driver (even in a VM - I wouldn't mind).
Take a pill every day vs. get a vaccine every few years? I don't think the vaccine will have a marketing problem.
tan(x)~x because cos(x)~1. It's approximations all the way down.
It goes both ways. Some people also see HIV as part of "gay culture" and want to protect it as such. For example bugchasing or reduction of penalties for HIV spreading.
You could do that since the OG XBOX days.

And SNES/MegaDrive.
To add to what others have said, I think that a lot of people have this idea that "trash = bad" so deeply internalized that they're heavily biased toward only putting things in the bin when there can be no doubt whatsoever that it is garbage.

You also see this when people put greasy paper take-out food containers in the recycling. No, it's not recyclable, and worse, it might further contaminate other things and render them non-recyclable as well. But, when I ask houseguests not to put them in our recycle bin, they seem to be honestly startled by the request. Oftentimes they assume it's because I'm a lax recycler and would rather throw things away than sully my pristine recycle bin with uneaten curry.

I love the analogy, but I think it flawed: the limits are practical and excess just adds risk.

On the flip side, nothing seems more exemplified by humanity than a zeal for doing a thing as big and grandiose as possible: for curiosity, for business, for art, or just for sheer vanity.

I don't think we've seen how far those will take us yet, even w/o improvements to the bottlenecks you suggest. I do agree that those "meta" fields matter and will make a huge difference.

It's kind of hard to find the article's point, so TLDR: People hear what they want to hear and see what they want to see, and so "disinformation/misinformation" is just giving them what they're asking for, not some dark sinister ingenious plan that masterfully brainwashes otherwise reasonable folks.

I noticed this back during the infamous Comet Ping-Pong incident, where a random foreigner concocted an Onion-esque joke article that was obviously ridiculous, but people hated Hillary so much they bought in anyhow. Even after the author admitted it was a complete fabrication people wouldn't give up on the idea, and of course one guy arrived at the restaurant with a rifle intending to kill some sex predators and even fired bullets in the ceiling, then gave himself up when he couldn't the sex predators and went to jail.

Anyhow it's not a perfectly convincing argument, but even a sociopath will readily tell you: Some people can be easily manipulated, and some can't. Attacking the information itself is really not getting at the root of the problem.
That was the premise for CHAdeMO. Stop and have a cup of coffee and read the paper in a Starbucks-esque environment. Perhaps even mingle with one's fellow man.

I don't think it will really work outside of very specific demographics who a.) want to get coffee and read the paper/rss feeds, and b.) have 30 minutes to spend on a charge-centric event (as in you went there to charge, not to get coffee and croissant).
Well, it recently came out in an audit here in Australia that our Federal Police keep 90% of their records on shared drives with no proper access control or anti-tamper protection [1]… So even worse situations are not unheard of…

This looks pretty neat. Just wanted to give you a heads up that the word "regulamentation" might be a typo in your docs here:

https://docs.abstra.app/#security-by-default

Even outside of that word the paragraph itself reads kind of weird:

"The Abstra team makes all the necessary effort to make your project secure and compliant with all the actual rules, good practices, and regulamentation."

I took a stab at changing it:

The Abstra team is dedicated to securing your project in compliance with rules, regulations and standards using industry best practices.

Not sure if that jibes with the legal side of things but I think it reads better.
GitHub also allows you to self-bot.

Discord will ban you for that, even if you delete your messages with the app on a stock Android without any macros or other tools that reduce the required effort over the naive way (e.g. `from: namibj` search; repeat for each "server").

(Btw; you have a pending email. I lost my old domain, but keybase has other accounts and an encryption key linked. You have 24h before I'll have to reach out harder, due to acute urgency.)
HIV transmission is 18 times more likely with receptive anal sex than with receptive vaginal sex and 69% of the HIV positive people in the USA are active gay men.

So yes, being a homosexual man is a huge risk factor and probably more significant than being in an open relationship, cheating on your partner or performing unprotected sex unless you live in Sub-Saharan Africa.
It depends on what you mean by "understanding". We can explain using a specific set of rules how something works. It doesn't mean that those rules are the best way to explain it or that they are even correct.

For example, we could explain that electricity works because of how electrons move, which would be correct from our point of view, but if we find out that we were living in a simulation, then the explanation would be that this is how "electricity" was coded to behave.

Also, usually in physics a formula is thought to be correct until some new laws/rules are found, then the formula is updated by adding some extra terms and then again thought to be correct.
Exactly.

We should decouple the core of the application from the UI. Have a standardized interface which exposes all available functionality to the screen reader and allows it to talk to the core directly, bypassing the UI.

Stop doing what everybody does today: stop having screen reader depend on the UI (ie. aria-labels, etc). This problem can't be solved by adding "decorations" to existing UI components. It's best solved by exposing an entirely separate interface which lets screen readers (and other hardware) interact with the core of the application directly.

This sounds like a spec, a set of language frameworks and a design pattern waiting to be written.

Yikes. This is actually a field that I do research in, and this analysis just really, really doesn't hold water. Of course there are sociological contributors to the spread of HIV on the African continent. But the idea that there's a "culture of rape" is pretty far off base, if only because Africa is an incredibly diverse continent so there's not a shared culture of pretty much anything. For a much more accurate look at the development of the AIDS pandemic in Africa, I recommend Jacques Pépin, The Origin of AIDS.
Having led international teams, I can tell you that you’re completely wrong about all of this. You are drastically understating the difficulties of working with engineers abroad.

Time zones matter, a lot. Crossing America’s time zones isn’t fun, but it has nothing on Eastern Europe or India. 8pm meetings to interact with your international workers will burn you out quickly. As will suddenly remembering that most of the world doesn’t do DST, so your 8pm meeting just became a 9pm.

You also need to know a hell of a lot more than “some vocabulary” in order to communicate effectively with a boss (me, in this scenario) or a stakeholder. Some consultancies will have specialized personnel whose only job is to translate for engineering teams, but these people are extremely expensive for obvious reasons.

You can overcome these problems, yes. But often a lot of the supposed cost savings of international workers disappears or shrinks massively by the time you’ve found an arrangement that’s as productive as local engineers. Typically the most sustainable approach here is to use one of the larger contracting companies like EPAM or Globant, but that eats up your savings and the attrition rate from those companies is very high. I’ve personally lost contractors because they were tired of the contracting company, not me or my company.

I’ve worked with international teams, and I continue to work with international teams. But the idea that Covid has made replacing domestic teams with international teams does not hold water.
Tesla doesn't want anyone else swapping batteries into their cars.

It makes 1000% sense to not support this. And I bought a Tesla knowing full well anything past tires/brakes is going to require Tesla to be my repairshop of choice. I can't shop it around the same I can my Honda. And the tradeoff was worth it to me. Early signs point to the battery lasting 200k miles, which should outlive the car.
What you just described is a 'Challenge Trial'. These have been avoided for COVID and would likely be avoided for other diseases too on ethical grounds.

Local pollutions just don't stay local. They eventually become part of the entire global climate. Global climate is the sum of all of the local climates. There's no walls protecting CityA from CityB's pollution. Look at the effect of wild fires on parts of the globe without fires.

This is just a sad way to look at things. Changes have to start somewhere. They can start small, and then grow larger. People like you saying "too small, not effective" just need to sit down and be quiet, thank you very much.
You have to remember to get it out of the ATM. I ran out of cash like a week or two ago and have been too lazy or forgetful to stop by an ATM to get it.

The current state of diagnostics is pretty shameful. For all that proponents of modern medical institutions like to use the phrase “evidence-based”, there is very little evidence used in much of modern diagnostics. Run a few scans and tests, nothing shows up, pick from a grab-bag of vague, underspecified, and unfalsifiable disorders. There is so much guesswork and speculation. It’s only in the last 3-4 years that we’ve actually started using genetic testing for CSF diagnostics, and this isn’t even widely used! https://nextgendiagnostics.ucsf.edu/

In states with no income taxes, it ends up being the opposite.

At least you all get a break. I live in a state with relatively high property taxes (1.5%), state income tax, local income tax (both where you work, and where you live, 1.5%), school district income tax (1.5%), state sales tax (6.5%), local sales tax(1-2%), and a whole slew of special interest sales taxes (professional sports stadiums).

This is a solidly red, "we hate taxes" state too. Sometimes I wonder if I would save on taxes by moving to CA.

These aren't really the questions to be asked when they just started with a first trial.

If it's 99% effective and has close to zero sideeffects that's very different from 60% effective and significant sideeffects. In both cases there are probably some people you'd recommend it to, but in the first case you may just recommend it to everyone, in the second case probably not.

AirPods do not STT announce a low battery unless that's an accessibility setting. By default they just play a little tone to alert you that your battery is low. An argument can be made around the expensive of AirPods but not when it comes to usability, they are bar none. Watching my Android friends cycle though bluetooth headphones like changing outfits is always interesting to me. Every few months I hear about "check out these awesome headphones, they are so small and they have noise cancelling", yawn, I've been using the same AirPods Pro since they released and they've tried 3+ and still aren't happy. I didn't want to believe it and refused to buy AirPods when they first came out until I got them as a gift and reluctantly used them but after I lost them (or they were stolen, still not sure) it took less than 3 days before I had ordered more. They really are magic.
>but apparently some anti-vax propaganda and a class-action lawsuit essentially removed it from the market. Based on a very rare side effect. Wtf? How can that be?

It wasn't "very rare" and the side effect was that it literally gave people lym disease.

Why are vaccinations a political thing now, and if anyone raises any questions whatsoever on any vaccine they are "anit-vax".
I think the first guys who tryed PrEP had to have also big balls to play with the fire.

The price for PrEP is also very different from country to country. In some countrys it's almost for free, in some others is very, very expensive.

I’m saddened by the harsh reaction so far, which seems based mostly on the first couple of paragraphs of a thoughtful and well-written essay. The discussion of online persuasion being used by both advertisers and spreaders of disinformation, and the many incentives that exist for different parties to accept that “social media” is an all-powerful manipulation machine, is particularly interesting.

I like this in part because the conclusion is strangely optimistic - we have more power than we think, if only we can recognize it.
Metamine represents the latest breakthrough in programming, it offers a mix of tradition declarative programming and reactive programming. The "magical equals" for lack of a better term, lets you do "reactive evaluation", the opposite of lazy evaluation.

If any of the terms that a term depend on change, the result is updated, and all it's dependencies, etc. You can use the system clock as a term, thus have a chain of things that update once a second, etc.

Being able to use both reactive and normal programming together without breaking your brain is a whole new level of power.

I normally buy into this sort of logic, but there's a fundamental difference. We experience the world in a way that recognizes beavers' and birds' limits, whereas they do not. We can modify ourselves and our environment in a way and changes our limits. Perhaps if the world is a simulation, then there are hard limits, as we are but bits in a computer so to speak, but even then it's not certain - we could become aware of the world outside the simulation and learn to manipulate it thought I/O mechanisms.
