Joe Rogan (who has COVID right now btw, for what it’s worth, but not part of the point here) had on his show an ICU specialist who has developed some of the key protocols for treating COVID including with the use of Ivermectin:

If you do open the podcast, know that it is very possible in Spotify to skip forward 15 seconds at a time to get past the many ads at the beginning.

Also on the show was evolutionary biologist Brett Weinstein. Long story short, the guests suggest that some of the (allegedly compromised by money) authoritative medical bodies have been captured, and have helped industry by cherry picking studies to highlight the low quality ones, while the high quality studies and, more importantly, country wide actual results in practice in several large countries, they are downplaying. Again this is done by authorities who, it is claimed, may have a vested (direct or indirect) interest in suppressing a low cost drug that is bad for business.

The episode also covers the remarkable censorship around this.

They also mention that US hospitals are prescribing Remdesivir (sp?) even though the WHO does not recommend it. According to the doctor on the podcast Remdesivir costs $3,000 a dose.
> Yeah, seeking the limits of the law. When a human does it, we typically call them an asshole. However, when a company does it, it's totally fine.

The ideological campaign to turn pure greed into a moral virtue has been far more successful for businesses than for individuals. Probably because the millenniums of moral thought that condemn individual greed is a tough thing to displace, and human moral intuitions are less intuitive to apply to a composite entity like a business.

from what I understand Apple can still force developers to add an Apple option, so you can chose to pay more for the Apple Premium experience. The difference is that some poor pessant will be informed that he could always have bought a subscription from the developers website , please defend Apple "protecting" you from the information that you have an option to buy from the developer website, what is next, Apple protecting adults from adult content? /s
30% isn't unfair if you provide enough services, it's the lack of competition stemming from iOS being closed that's the problem. Google _had_ to do what Apple did with 15% for small developers. Google didn't do it on their own, they had no reason to because Apple wouldn't change until it saw regulatory and legal pressure. Is that a normally functioning market?

Allow alternate app stores, and you'll likely see as much competition on mobile as there is when comparing Itch vs. Steam.

Unsupervised | Software Engineers | Full-time | US Remote or Boulder, Colorado

Unsupervised is a Data Capitalization Management company. We help organizations find actionable insights in their data so they can make their data more of a measurable asset (think extreme leverage from data science). We do this by using an unsupervised learning engine we built in-house to do a lot of analysis on their data.

We're hiring software engineers to work on our core compute engine and web interface. In the web app we use React and Graphql via Graphene (Python Graphql server). In the compute engine, we're largely Python and C++, but you don't need to know those coming in as long as you can learn it fast enough. On the compute side, Dask and Ray experience is a plus. You definitely need to know data structures and graphs enough to talk shop about them. We deploy on Kubernetes in a cloud native modern dev workflow, but we'll happily train what you need to know there, we've got decent tooling in place to make it very approachable and iterative.

I stick out my tongue.
a plea bargain is by rule a conviction. It is simply an alternative route to one.

A plea bargain is where a bargain is struck between some prosecuting authority and the accused wherein the accused pleads guilty in exchange for some nominally lesser punishment.

WHat happened here is one plea bargain that included (but should not have included by any rational definition of justice) a global bar on the accused being prosecuted for any other crimes. See if you can find an example of that logic being applied to a low level drug dealer or non-rich person.

How do you jump from open mindedness about anti viral treatments to not getting the vaccine?

I can assure you that 99% of ALL students have done the same whatever they may claim otherwise. This is simply due to our educational system and social/biological pressures.

The way i have tried to remedy this in my own self is to buy lots of books and try and give myself a proper education in the sense of really understanding something to the extent possible with the amount of work and time i am willing to invest. There is no pressure, no deadlines, no competition but simply a desire to learn and understand i.e. knowledge for knowledge's sake.

The use of technology in the above endeavour is problematic. The Internet is a huge distraction and time sinkhole and there is too much junk to sift through to get at any actual nuggets. Hence i use it to get an idea of a subject domain and then try to get actual books to study in that domain.

The final point is to sit with pen and paper and take notes, read aloud the subject matter to better imprint on the mind, all aimed towards engaging the body with the mind to strengthen the learning process. Typing on a keyboard does not have the same effect.

AMA calls on doctors to immediately stop prescribing ivermectin for Covid
All of it. They were nomads.
The Further Reading sections at the ends of volumes 3 (Philosophy in the Islamic World) and 5 (Classical Indian Philosophy) by Peter Adamson et al are great.
I wouldn't say keeping it private and that article are your only choices. You should absolutely disclose that you had a cofounder who didn't work out because he turned out to be incompetent. Hiring a cofounder is tough and people make mistake all the time, they've seen that before.

But sharing that specific article is a mistake, instead just stating it without emotion is probably better.

I know it's tough, I was in a similar position with a cofounder who really didn't work out and I really resonate with that line "I do miss that naive me though, there is something wonderful in trusting your fellow man that I can never quite regain, which is a shame.". My experience also made me lose that bright sunshine of naivety and easy trust that I had and for a long time I was incredibly bitter about my ex cofounder. But, it's not a good strategy to be publish it with a wording this emotional, instead just being very matter of fact about it, describing the main issues in broad terms is enough.
That was fun! I got 16 right, if I’m allowed to count the wrong Willy Wonka and Mad Max. Many of the movies I didn’t get I’ve not seen and only barely heard of, so I certainly relied on guessing on famous movies where the themes in the picture are prominent.

FWIW, this model (via crowdfunding platforms) has been successful in funding quite a few creative works, including very expensive ones. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-funded_crowdfu... So the general principle is clearly workable.

Funding live action movies in this way is still not very popular, though. Arguably, the cost structure in this industry might just be too challenging to succeed in the first place. The fact that they do get funded by other means looks like a bit of a puzzle! It might even be more of a loss-leading, perhaps marketing-focused activity than anything aimed at directly making a profit.
Unfortunately I don't know of any introductory aesthetics books that aren't heavy on the philosophical language. For that reason I would just recommend reading this IEP article. It covers the standard traditional Western conception of aesthetics, the basic ideas, and so on.

https://iep.utm.edu/aestheti/

If you don't mind reading a dictionary, The Dictionary of Aesthetics by Dabney Townsend is also a good overview of many different ideas and terms.

Otherwise, I am a big fan of Japanese aesthetics, which is much more "in the world" than the more abstract Western philosophical approach. For this, I really recommend the short essay A Tractate on Japanese Aesthetics by Donald Richie.

Also, one of my favorite novels is My Name is Red by Orhan Pamuk. It is about Ottoman miniature painting and has extensive discussion on aesthetics, painting, and similar topics.

On your other comment, I might agree with Weisberg that we aren't really going for an aggregate opinion of everyone. Instead, we need a way to measure the opinions of a diverse group of experts, whatever that might mean specifically.

A good analogue might be military strategy. If we were to ask "Who was the best general of all time?", we'd likely want to ask military historians (academic experts), actual generals (experiential experts), as well as amateur enthusiasts that are extremely knowledgeable but don't have the right credentials. We'd also probably want various other groups of people like soldiers, politicians, (resurrected) great generals like Napoleon or Hannibal themselves, etc.

As long as we had a decent method for validating membership of these different groups, I think we'd get a reasonably decent answer.

In terms of architecture, this expert-only approach might have some limitations and we would need to add the townspeople and library readers to our analysis. But this is more because buildings are something practical used in the world and not just art in a gallery.
Seems very specfic to one field of research that is pointed out in the article. Any other fields which suffer from the same?

Also we tend to forget that it also matters what you publish more than how often. Article lacks any comments on this.

> This was a moment of honesty and vulnerability for him. To me this seems like good communication: stating exactly what your weaknesses are. I question why this was not openly shared before. Either there's some deep rooted insecurities in the co-founder or the culture at the company just didn't allow to be vulnerable.

That's more easily explained by the cofounder being a master of bullshitting and realizing that the chips are up. It's not a moment of honesty and vulnerability when you've sold yourself as someone who can do those things and lied by using designs made by someone else.

Finding a good cofounder is similar to hiring and not treating the same way is what leads to this kind of issues. It's hard for someone who is new at it to properly vet the competence of someone random especially when it's in a field that person isn't an expert at
> McDonalds makes more off the ice cream ingredients than fixing the machine. That argument doesn’t make sense.

McDonald's doesn't make more off the ingredients of a day's sales of ice cream as it does off a service call, probably by a couple orders of magnitude. I'm not sure why you think it would.

It would be most profitable for McDonald's if the machine went down every single day. The problem with that is the franchises would stop selling ice cream, not that they'd have to trade $25 of ice cream ingredient profit for the profit off a high priced service call that you can respond to with a low-paid, minimally trained tech with a computer that just decodes a mundane error that can be fixed in seconds. A tech can probably do 15 of those a day.

Users have a choice whether to use Apple payment for all purchases on the platform.
I have to deal with physical retail products where you have a wholesale price hopefully at least doubling your cost for the product. The MSRP is ususally double the wholesale. So if you sell the product directly, you get to earn the reatil rate directly. If you offer your product directly to a retailer, you only get to make the wholesale value for that sale. If you get to a size where you are selling to a big box store, they will negotiate further into your wholesale rate on the lure of larger volume of sales.

So, all of that to say I'm used to getting 50% of the retail price by selling to wholesellers, so being able to have a 70/30 split being offered by Apple would be 20% increase in my earnings.

These are mostly online sharing and collaboration type services, or have sharing features. That means running it on your server and sharing with others doesn’t solve the trust issue, your just requiring that other people using these services you host have to trust you.

If you’re just using the single user services then sure, if you have the technical skills and resources doing it yourself is more private.

Something I've come to appreciate over the last year of studying Mandarin is how well paper works for studying as compared to anything digital. In the past I've often been frustrated by absorbing difficult materials like CS papers. I never gave much thought to the medium because PDFs are pretty convenient, you _can_ annotate them, it's easy to copy paste and search for you things don't understand, etc. However, I still struggled to finish reading and understand a paper. I'm realizing now that I'm much more capable to form understanding than I used to think, and the trick is going to 7-Eleven and printing out a paper instead of reading the PDF. There's something about being able to quickly skim, mark up parts of it, etc. that no digital format has matched for me.

If I was going university today, I'd never bring my laptop to class again.

There are always manufacturing problems, and new, even significant ones, are discovered all the time.

>If you want, make two different currencies. Some basic gov't scrip for necessities - housing, food, shelter, closing, and you can use BTC or whatever for your rich people shit and pay as much as you want for collectible shoes or whatever catches your fancy.

If everyone has equal or unlimited rent money, then the apartment goes to who ever pays asking price (or rent controlled price) plus gifts the cosplaying landlord the "collectable shoes".

That "rich people shit" becomes the differentiating factor in otherwise equal cash prices/offers. It's inseparable.

How does the "two forms of currencies" currently work out for things like EBT/SNAP benefits or section 8 housing? Scarcity doesn't disappear, it just gets shifted to other mechanisms besides cash.

>People will largely not care because they won't be literally starving and dying from lack of access to physiological necessities.

We've been beyond that in the US for a while now, to the point of obesity epidemic.

Free education, free school meals, free home and weekend meals, free SNSP/EBT on top of free school meals, free health insurance, free housing vouchers, free phones/data,

Any necessities not being met in the US today is due to neglegent parenting, not lack of resources.

Wealth isn't (just) stored-up income. At least, if you're going to make this equivalence, also limit your picture of wealth inequality to the subset of wealth which is stored-up income.

My sense is that the vast majority of the wealth inequality picture is driven by returns.
