Both.

My current side project leans heavily on "iterate". I started out with the goal of "print something everyday so my inkjet printer doesn't dry out".

Along the way I discovered new problems (I can't give away images unless I document them) and new goals (interactive cards that can change the environment and transform how I relate to people.) I built a grid of 8x8 squares that covered about 30% of a wall and discovered it had unacceptable effects on radiative transfer in the room and had to be modified. I showed the installation to somebody and fumbled when I tried to explain it, so I made this react app

This "project" (really a "program") runs into a crisis every so often which requires rethinking how I do it. I want to get the title "Master of Images" but I am a Journeyman now who headed towards the west coast for a road trip and just turned his car into a hydrofoil to get across the ocean.

The actual printing and image processing is about as disciplined as can be. I work from checklists and change the checklists frequently when I learn things. For instance I started out printing the front side first but if the front had a lot of ink the paper might curl and I'd have trouble refeeding to print the back side. When I was trying to explain the process to other people it hit me that if I printed the back side first I wouldn't have this problem -- I updated the checklist and now I am not afraid of making prints with a lot of ink on humid days, which helps with those radiative transfer problems.
Yes, that is absolutely hypocritical and we should continue to pressure the western world to distribute more vaccine globally before giving booster shots to their own citizens.

That said, I'm absolutely getting _my_ booster as soon as I'm eligible. That isn't hypocritical; at that point the decision was made and if I don't take the booster it won't be sent to sub-Saharan Africa.

Revisiting:

Keep in mind that the duress credentials serve several purposes.

1. Give the appearance of compliance. It's possible that the investigator will be satisfied and abandon further search attempts. Wrench averted.

2. Provide the opportunity to perform a duress action, without the immediate appearance of doing so. This has a wide range of possibilities, including removing or disabling access to information, triggering warnings or notices to allies or supporters, revealing innocuous content, enabling a set of additional countermeasures (e.g., attacks from within the investigator's own space or network, or against the investigator's own tools, see Signal's response to Celebrite: https://signal.org/blog/cellebrite-vulnerabilities/). Note that a protocol which denies the investigation subject access to a device would prevent this. The presumption that a subject would provide an access password provides opportunity for defences.

Whether or not the pipe wrench (or any analogous or equivalent means of coercion) is applied is almost a moot point. With a duress password, you're largely assuming it will be. The objective isn't to prevent the wrench. It's to render it ineffective.

Or at least that's the way I read it.
I know what's happening and why. The thing is the web-site should not suppose anything. It'd better not change defaults at all and deliver conventional colors. If it offers an optional switch to change theme to dark that would be appreciated. But not the fact that it makes and force choice for a user who didn't ask for it. People use dark UI for different reasons and in different context. A web-site just should not try to make a choice in this situation. It could only offer options.
I want to shoot my automatic rifle into the street, you do not.

If you don't want to get shot, stay home or wear body armor! The body armor is 90% effective at reducing severe bodily harm from my bullets.
Respectfully, I think you have an opinion and are asking all websites to accommodate your opinion.

> Dark UI is to distinguish from, not to blend with content.

This is how you view Dark UI. That is not how I use it. I like the dark aesthetic and am using a system-level dark mode to universally apply that aesthetic. Native Apps pick it up automatically, and I'm glad websites can as well. Frankly it would be super annoying to have to manually opt-in for a dark mode for all the websites I visit.
Reason, ClojureScript are separate languages with their own computation models and conventions. They are designed to have their own ecosystems rather than integrate smoothly with the JS ecosystem.

TypeScript integrates with the JS ecosystem, often major JS libraries include typescript definitions in the box, or are even written in typescript.

Flow has been obsolete for a while now (yes I said it).
I don't see a problem with forcing companies to pick a lane. If YT wants to publish its own content split it out into YouTube Publishing Inc., and the platform treats it like any other content.
The point was so they wouldn't need to see the plaintext of the photos on their servers.

Somebody needs to invent a FHE (fully homomorphic encryption) CSAM algorithm, so that Apple could scan encrypted photos for badness on the cloud.

Have ICU beds ready to accommodate them and not have them filled with unneccesary cases from unvaccinated individuals that have chosen freely to be unvaccinated.

But in my callousness I would simply illegalize treating people that are anti-vaccine.
Twitter, FB, etc still try to do rule-based moderation. Sometimes they later discover there's problem content that the rules don't cover.

They still think they need to do (corporate) soul-searching and provide justifications to the public when they moderate. Since the way they moderate is awful, they often lie or reverse course when doing so.

They still have these complicated appeals boards and processes. But since it's absurd to have some committee deliberating about most 'tweets' these processes are slow or seldom-used.

So I consider what they do 'not so far' from what the essay recommends because it's the same paradigm, just terribly implemented.

My opinion is that it's not desirable, and maybe impossible, to implement moderation well using this paradigm.

If a guy walks into a hotel and takes a crap in the lobby, the hotel doesn't check a flowchart before kicking him out; the hotel doesn't need any justification aside from 'he defecated in the lobby', and if the guy petitions the hotel to crap - on a later occasion - in the lobby again, the hotel won't assemble a committee to tell him 'no'
People can be taken into protective custody without any suspicion they committed a crime, though typically this is mostly done with children and they're taken to foster care, not county detention. It has been used in the past to protect people from getting lynched after being publicly accused of a crime even if the police don't suspect them, and is used to protect confidential informants by arresting them along with everyone else just to keep up appearances, though in this case they usually agree to it in advance.
What would you call it then if not forcing?
This simply isn't true and I wonder what you are thinking of.

If you get a faulty medicine or medical device, you can absolutely sue the manufacturer.

If you are unreasonably imprisoned or shot by the police, you can sue them.

This is how nearly all of these issues come to light and are adjudicated.
Your mindset is deeply concerning and rather evil in its supremacist belief you are justified in imposing things on others against their will.

You may believe you are justified in that imposition, as all authoritarian types are, but one thing is for sure, the precedent to overturn the most fundamental concepts of freedom you demand be imposed on all, WILL be used against the useful idiots in short order, as is always the case when they have outlived their usefulness, having been manipulated by fear and promise, sticks and carrots.

The author goes out of his way (and I think it was a good call), not to call out "army things" that make for good co-founders, but to frame it as "these are qualities of good choices that were made obvious to me in an army context". Specifically:

* Trustworthy

* Professional

* Competency

What other (non-business) contexts could we frame this type of article as? I suspect team-sports will stick out as an example, but where else?
This is correct. I have no problems of them scanning my icloud mail or photos. I just don't like the idea of there being a system level scanner for a hash database on my device assuming that I'm guilty until proven innocent. I was going to upgrade my iPhone this fall to latest model, now I'm very hesitant to do so and looking at alternatives.
I have been wondering for years when we will get automatic health diagnostics from our toilets. It looks like some of the tech is certainly cheap enough now.

That hypothetical scenario is current reality for just under half the country.
Previous infection provides relatively short-lived natural immunity to COVID-19.

I tested positive the last week of December 2020 (exactly three weeks before I was scheduled to get the vaccine, which I did also eventually get). When I spoke to the county health department, they said they had already seen repeat infections. They said immune protection from direct exposure only seems to last 3-6 months, which is backed up by the fact that the virus had only been in my state about 10 months at that point.

Vaccine protection is much more robust.
That sentence is actually insane.
Visualization of Modem Dial-Up
Sweden still had their process to change the laws and even constitution if the lawmakers and citizens so desired. They didn't, so it means that the recommendations by Tegnell at least had some effect.

QALY (and in respectively human life) can be measured in monetary terms. It has some problems but all healthcare systems in the world do this, some openly (as in the UK), some behind the scenes. But they all do.

This is a mind experiment where we all have the luxury of hindsight. Based on current knowledge I would also do almost the same what Tegnell did but with greater emphasis on protecting the risk population, elderly and others.

Also I would cooperate with Astra Zeneca and other pharma companies to start human challenge trials immediately to speed up vaccine development.
I have never heard of that, can you share a link? I would like to read more.
For efficient AC and heat pump systems, we need to invent a compressor which is close-to isothermal rather than close-to adiabatic.

And we need to switch to pressure change rather than phase change systems.

That pretty much means the compressor needs to be built into the 'condensor'.

The closest we get to today is two stage compressors - where you compress a bit, cool the gas, then compress some more. But we need to get to 50 stage compressors - where we compress slightly, then cool, and repeat.

Also, we will need to switch out the pressure regulating orifice for a turboexpander to recuperate the energy which would otherwise be lost letting something high pressure become low pressure.

All these add complexity and cost, but ultimately will be needed to make efficient enough systems when energy is more expensive in a carbon-free world.
Because given the press announcement last week about the acting commissioner (the administration says she is unfit to nominate) it’s clear they’re setting her up as a scapegoat. That conveys, to me, an administration without foresight or ethics. Scapegoats that are obvious are not good scapegoats.

Doing nothing could have been chalked up to typical sclerotic political mechanizations we’ve all come to expect.

They could have, instead, put out a few tidbits in friendly media outlets about how easy it is to get a booster: you go to cvs and tell them you are unvaxxed. Run stories about how “everyone is doing it(tm)”. That’s a better way to stimulate demand IMO. Fewer long term consequences like permanent distrust of all vaccines, the administration and the fda.
A company I used to work for used to do something like this (I never had access to the source code, but I inspected it closely with Wireshark a time or two).

Sent over UDP this had stood the test of time for a couple decades or so.

Disadvantage: the rest of the system was also written in C++ and it was impossible to get those who had access to the source code and knew it to fix anything. As a result the system looked more and more antiquated and there were more and more hoops to jump through to get it working with every new version of Windows:-/

Edit: that said, I think your comment is a bit off topic :-)
Friend had Covid last year, wasn't too bad. Caught it again in Jan (before the chance to get vaccinated) and it hit her very hard. She's now suffering from a pretty miserable long Covid.
How is TypeScript a crutch for API design?
~5 YoE. Under $100k, haven't done a fine grain calculation of the numbers, but probably ~mid-high 70s. Pretty standard non-tech F500 doing enterprise crap. Ok WLB, probably typical for the type of company. Hybrid remote.

Started looking to see what was out there, mostly disappointment. I haven't seemed to attract nearly the interest everyone else I see talking about. Screened out of most roles I actively applied to. Have gotten only a handful of recruiters, mostly third party mostly dead end. Will start interviewing following one of those with better looking pay, but still not ideal. I'll probably accept if I get an offer, just for the pay raise, but I really don't want to continue my career in that direction, but realistically its the only option.
Unluckily, as soon as xmpp was not supported by Google any more, all interests around it failed. R.I.P.
put the life saving another way: you get the vaccine, you are more likely to stay out of the hospital, and the bed you would otherwise be occupying can now be used to treat the car accident victim, the heart attack patient, the cancer patient, etc.
I know many nurses and doctors who work at hospitals in and around the NYC tristate area -- they all say capacity is well under the normal rates for them.

Note: last April (2020), they said it had exploded due to COVID-19.
SPA hexagon: Robust app architecture for mobile and web
It definitely is. I suggest you look up what a "perfect" vaccine is, and how they work. That's what most of the ones that have eradicated diseases are. They allow the body to completely eradicate and prevent infection and transmission. That's what leads to herd immunity.

Leaky vaccines work the same way antibacterial soap did to create MRSA. They leave enough virus present to mutate to evade the mechanism originally intended to fight against it, so only the most robust mutations remain.
Whoa that’s deep.
Not Cool, now we can enforce all kinds of arbitrary censorship on encrypted data. Be careful what you wish for.
Neither did any of the vaccines before people started getting them.

What are _you_ talking about?
In the US, I've always used it (and seen it used) both ways, and a third way - "oh well!", depending on the context.
I totally agree with this point, but the author confusingly doesn't seem to agree:

> Cause and effect will fool you: in a world where everything is looping, there is no cause or effect. But there is purpose, and purpose moves in one direction: it is created, and it is spent.
Herd immunity cannot be measured by an arbitrary percentage. Maybe it is 70% or 80%, but only if that's a random sample of the population. Social networks determine the relevance. If you have a single homogenous group of individuals that interact with each other that is unvaccinated then there's still plenty of threats. And that generally includes children as a big intermingling block.
>You Don't Need a Good Idea to Start a Great Company

Nope, but it can require a truly great company to get the most out of a good idea.

Seems to me the most likely Googler to succeed if they retired to start their own company would be one who had an endless (and constantly growing) number of ideas to choose from, not someone who hasn't come up with an overwhelmingly motivational idea or two after just a few days or hours.
Here's a starting point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemrix#Narcolepsy
I would love a "Backblaze of user generated content". The existing players in the market are way too expensive (likely because they run off the cloud cartel and pass along their bandwidth tax). Basic image handling isn't too hard to deal with on your own, but video and audio is a huge pain. The uploading (which needs to be fault tolerant and resumable), encoding (which takes a long time), storage (which is large) and playback (which requires a half-dozen different formats) is all very annoying to deal with. So much so, for my SaaS products, I only allow my users to upload images!

I had the exact same idea as you, and shelled out a few hundred dollars for a domain from a squatter. My prototype basically reinvents fault tolerant resumable uploads (like tus.io). On the backend, it streams the file to Wasabi and Backblaze. That's as far as I got. Video/audio scares me, but I'll get to it eventually.

I really like the content moderation as a service (via AI, or humans) idea that others have mentioned.
I agree that seems like a lot of privileges for just feedback, but this is Linux... you can still run the command without sudo to see what works. I suspect it's pulling some kernel-side information that requires root. Remember -- you already need to use root access to install the package in the first place, so you either trust Cloudflare or you don't.

But, from the docs, if you run

> ~$ sudo warp-diag

(without the "feedback" argument), you can see the logs that are created and attached to the support ticket if you use "feedback" [1].

Windows Update should behave differently depending on what it's handling. If it's signed by MS sure go on, if it's a simple signed driver file maybe directly load it too. But for anything else always request admin credentials and meanwhile keep using generic drivers if available.
I personally don’t have an issue with this decision if they also opt out of any (btw also experimental, not approved) treatments for Covid in case they do get it. You know, to be consistent. Will keep the hospitals from becoming overcrowded.
Because the black homicide rate is really high. It can be a bit easy to forget this, caught in the abstract. The movement isn't called "the police shouldn't kill people" - it's called "black lives matter". I'd expect a movement named "white lived matter" to focus on all-up issues for white people.

> black people are twice as likely to be killed than white people by our murderous police.

Among young people (18-45), black people are ten times as likely to die by homocide (27.6% of deaths vs 2.8%). From the [CDC](https://www.cdc.gov/healthequity/lcod/men/2017/nonhispanic-w...).

Giving yourself a broad focus "black lives" and then ignoring the number one category of death among young males (homicide) - it's a bit odd.

Imagine if you ran across the "Cancer Matters" institute and it turned out they don't study lung, breast, or prostate cancers (the three most common and deadly). Instead they study just one specific subtype. What would you think?

Edit: just a small comment, but I'm more trying to "explain the argument" than make it myself. Asking if organizations are "pure enough" to their purposes is a common tactic on all sides, and it's clear that _some_ who ask this don't do so in good faith, trying to set the bar impossibly high. People have wildly different perceptions of BLM, in part because BLM is different organizations in different cities. I don't mean to endorse those impossibly high bars, only to _explain_ that the criticism is that BLM is not meeting the bar to some folks in terms of actions matching the mission/label. I'm trying to answer in good faith - assuming that the question was asked in that same good faith - as a legitimate request for explanation.
Yes. I should be allowed to choose whom I want to associate with, too, and exclude those who represent a larger infectious disease risk. That's the rub. We need to make it effortless for people to make these choices.
It is not because of the new variants and antibody escape. Prior variants before delta, gamma specifically, actually escape antibody neutralization far more than delta does.

No, what the world is seeing is that intramuscular vaccination for respiratory diseases does not provide long lasting IgG antibodies to the upper respiratory mucosa tissues. They seep into the lower lungs and provide protection there though. This has been known since the 1960s when the first intranasal flu vaccinations were introduced to combat the problem.

It wouldn't matter what variant is going around, it just happens to be delta now. The problem is the lack of persistent IgG antibodies in the surface mucosal tissues. To get long term protection from infection of these you need intranasal vaccination to recruit resident B and T cells to the mucosa to make IgA antibodies. Intramuscular does not prevent spread, it only prevents hospitalization and death. This is also true for intramuscular flu vaccination.

Y... yes, that's the same.

Compare: "You can murder someone, but then freedoms will be taken from you, because you could hurt someone with these freedoms. You won't get brainwashed out of it, but if you do commit murder, your freedoms are taken away."

Not arguing against the policy, but it in practice, it _is_ the same.
I work for a company that I consider pro-vax, but they are not requiring vaccination. My guess it is for liability reasons, and they will probably defer to local regulations.

I'm vaccinated and everyone I know is, but I cringe a bit at the tolerance of what seems authoritarian to me. If I were to wager, things get better once antiviral treatments improve and when data analysis gets better, not when "full compliance" happens. To me it's clear that there is a seasonal nature, but it varies based on latitude/climate/time of year. For whatever reason it seems taboo to mention this. Anyone wanting to prove a point about masks/vaccines working or not working often compares one region/climate to another.
