With the supreme court recently declining to take a strong, upfront stance on the obviously bad texas abortion bill, I don't think it's safe to rely on precedent and actual constitutionality anymore.
If that were true, we should expect to be able to feed that initial quote through multiple translations with minimal meaning loss. Here is the result of translating that entire phrase from English -> Greek -> Serbian -> Creole -> English with a popular translating tool:

"put a Russian book at one end and an English book at the other, ”predicted Dr. Dostert."

It completely loses its original meaning not to mention the latter half of the quote.

I think the constraint of "if every language was a one-to-one variant" is too constricting to be of use in the real world. The reason why this is hard is because that rule rarely holds true. Language is more about communicating concepts than just words. Translating one-to-one concepts is much harder because you need to understand context.
And the FDA disagrees with that definition of gene therapy:
"Gene therapy is a technique that modifies a person’s genes to treat or cure disease. Gene therapies can work by several mechanisms:

Replacing a disease-causing gene with a healthy copy of the gene

Inactivating a disease-causing gene that is not functioning properly

Introducing a new or modified gene into the body to help treat a disease" [1]

Yes there are competing definitions. However the important part of the grandparent remains unchanged. mRNA are extremely unlikely to modify genetic information of your body.

I wonder if some of the nerdiest corners of the internet from nowadays do not make the exciting 90s pale in comparison (all this looks like aspects of a potential renaissance).

As hobbies, they all sound amazing. Even though, or perhaps due to their apparent futility. "Secession from the broadcast" and "the knowledge" come to mind. A possibility, among many others.

Way to cherry-pick and dismiss. I would argue the possible long-term loss in purchasing confidence by the customers who were burned by a bad experience weighs a lot heavier overall.

Regarding scams, keep in mind that the ones I mentioned will come in addition to the existing ones, not displacing them, making an already non-ideal situation potentially way worse. To stem this, the app approval process could get even slower than it currently is.

A better solution would have been to somehow force Apple to lower its fee structure. This however is incompatible with certain economic liberties we take for granted and would set a worrying precedent, so the current outcome is probably the only pragmatic one.
Time for a class action against Google. The whole industry could have depressed wages from their actions.
Think about how hard it was to get reliable internet on your cell phone for streaming video.

iPhone was released in 2007 followed by rapid deployment of infrastructure. I have been streaming Netflix reliably even in a moving car since at least 2016 or 2017. It took less than a decade.

When consumers demand infrastructure, it arrives swiftly.
As I keep saying: there’s nothing more dangerous than a company (or department in this case) that was once wildly profitable and is now merely profitable.

It’s absurd that even at places like Google, which has effectively infinite money, there’s still this present attitude of not being able to afford paying workers. Nuts.
Art of Problem Solving is great - I think they take credit for the US Math olympiad team's performance. I use books from the same organization at elementary school level and find them very good and fun to teach. I would recommend going a level lower among the books published by them [1] to see if that is a good starting point for your child. Their website also has some placement tests etc. to evaluate the right level for a student.

Even cities like Cincinnati or Huntsville are nearly $20/sqft average for rent, $5/sqft for an office space in a city is seems absurdly cheap in the US. Its extremely outside the norm for most offices in the US.

I agree with this. On top of that, the experience in games is often downright weird. I'm no Apple user, but on Android, you're in the game, you try to buy something, it pops the Android payment UX, you pay, then you wait a sec or two, get your thing in the game.

If its a Gacha or something, you then are getting some in-game currency, that you then have to redeem for the item you wanted. The extra steps are really annoying, and if its a company I trust, it would be easier to give them my info to smoothen things up (big if, mind you)

I don't know if it's interesting, but a while back I found that I was missing my old Casio databank watch, so I mocked one up in Excel, full color, CASIO logo included. Then I typed a whole schedule into it. That was fun, so I moved on to mocking up a pocket digital organizer (never got around to the alarm beep you coudln't figure out how to turn off...). It was more than I could chew so that sheet is still a WIP somewhere.

(These days I've matured~ and do this kind of thing with textdraw so that aesthetics are less of a time suck)
New late-night talk shows appear so rapidly that the fight for guests turns violent.

This was written a few years after Conan had his bad experience with the Tonight Show. If you saw his live show around 2010, you'll know how he grew jaded, at least with the business end of things.
I would choose PayPal over Apple payments every time.

It's a good way to centralize and easily cancel subscriptions, and it handles more than just Apple's overpriced ecosystem. PayPal's site is not perfect, but it's still much more usable than Apple's subscription management running on iTunes' corpse.
But that's not travel planning. That's just "creating a consolidated itinerary of the things you've used some other tool to do the travel planning in." (Which is sorta useful except that G Cal doesn't really create the events in the most useful format...)
While visiting rural northern Namibia, a Damara tribesman I was talking to asked me where I was from. Upon hearing that I was from a cold Northern part of the world, he commented that it must be great that half the year I didn't need to run my freezer.

I just stared at him, not knowing what to say. He stared back at me for a while and then started laughing. Then I realized he was screwing with me, and I just said, "Touche'".
The fact that indirect messages are marked as unverifiable "hearsay" (seemingly regardless of how many peers confirm it), the fact you can only join the network if you peer with someone, and the bounce limit seems to imply that you would want to peer very liberally.

And the trick is that you can't just be DOSed by a peer, you can be DDOSed by the peers of your peers of your peers, as I see it.

> Why try to survive?

I don't question trying to survive bad scenarios in general but nuclear in particular.

People seem to say a nuke isn't as bad as we think, but the problem is that in case of a nuclear war, there won't be only one nuke, so the amount of radioactivity will be very high and a nuclear winter mean that even if you survive radioactivity nothing will grow for at least 5 years so you'll end up starving.

I could see myself try to take on a "Mad Max" like scenario, not a nuclear one.

>Again, I fail to see the legitimacy of a regime in which I must either pay a for-profit corporation for the privilege of preventing my doctor from doing what is in my own best interest or be wealthy enough to pay everything out of pocket.

The "legitimacy" lies in the fact that that is what was politically possible to accomplish. I put legitimacy in quotes because I assume you mean legitimate in the context of some type of moral or ideological sense, which I do not find terribly interesting in this case, where there are many real world constraints at play.

At the very root of it all is the fact that demand for healthcare greatly dwarfs supply of healthcare, starting from the simple fact that changing bedpans is a highly undesirable task and going all the way to the fact that medicinal knowledge is very difficult and costly to acquire. And so politics will be involved in how healthcare is distributed.

You can even go back to your statement of

>from doing what is in my own best interest

99% of people have no idea how to evaluate what is in their own best interest when it comes to medicine. Even doctors outside of their specialty probably do not know, and the tiny minority that do would acknowledge that at some point they are also guessing at the machinations of something complex like the body.

The for profit (and not for profit) labeling is mostly a distraction. Doctors do not treat people without a profit, programmers do not program without a profit, and a managed care organization does not sell its services without a profit.

These 2 big constraints shape how much and what kind of healthcare system we can afford:

-low supply of healthcare relative to demand - requiring a system of allocation of resources

-medicine being extremely difficult and possibility of doctor making mistake or being corrupted requiring second opinion - i.e. doctors and pharmacists employed by managed care organizations

Obviously, everyone would love if everyone could get all the healthcare they could ever want at anytime they want. But our parameters do not allow for that. Back to the original question of why a for profit managed care organization needs to be involved at all? It does not, except politically, that was the solution the leaders agreed upon. I suspect politicians also like MCOs in the middle because it keeps the heat on the MCOs and deflects from them.

We could have gone the NHS way with taxpayer funded healthcare, and the NHS handling all the administrative functions that managed care organizations do. But there was significant political opposition to that, probably because a lot of politically influential classes stood to lose in that proposition. So we have what we have.

Note that to counteract excessive profit incentives, the ACA implemented minimum medical loss ratios and a healthcare exchange so that companies could compete for customers and hence have an incentive to keep premiums lower (presuming the existence of sufficient competing MCOs). Why not just cut all that out and let government deal with it? Because that is what was possible.

This law maybe, but I'm not convinced the Abortion bounty bill would actually have an effect on Texas businesses. Programming is a full on sausage fest, so it wouldn't exactly stop them from hiring developers

I agree; that's insanely expensive especially given the cost of living in other aspects compared to Switzerland.

To add, this GA/AG pass in Switzerland includes essentially all travel except for a few funiculars, gondolas, and other specialized modes for leisure purposes. That means virtually every train in the country with the densest railway network outside of city-states as well as local transit (buses, local trains, ferries, etc.) is included.

Granted, Switzerland isn't a large country, but its public transit coverage is overrepresented, making it seem like a far better deal than this annual London zone pass.
I already asked this in the past, and want to ask again.

I lived in London for about 10 years and used the Oyster almost exclusively (with auto-topup enabled)

The biggest advantage I found was the latency between you tapping the card on the reader and the acknowledgement "beep" to let you through. Always seemed extremely responsive to the point where you get used to the motion of going through the barriers with one fell swoop.

When using anything else (e.g. credit cards/Apple Pay/whatever) the difference always seemed jarring, like maybe an extra 200ms-300ms longer for the thing to light green.

It might have gotten better since I was there though.
Everything in Coalton is statically typed. The boundary happens at the "COALTON:LISP" operator, which lets the programmer drop into dynamically typed Common Lisp to perform a computation. (This is how a lot of the standard library is implemented.) If you decide to drop into Lisp with the COALTON:LISP operator, then it's on you to supply a correct type annotation for that Lisp code. (This type will be checked at run-time.) So there's certainly room for human mistakes with types.

However, if you're really scared, you can do

(declaim (optimize (speed 0) (safety 3)))

and really precise run-time type assertions will be inserted into the code.
As a comment on the Krebs article suggests, some see him as an enemy due to his work.
A strong static type system that looks much like Haskell's but coupled with eager evaluation, the ability to use macros, and SBCL's excellent x86 compiler? That's too enticing to be passed over. I'm using mostly OCaml now but I'll have to try out Coalton, see how it feels and how it works out in practice. I've been looking for an excuse to do more Lisp again anyway :)

> Apple does a really good job of warning me, I feel, and centralizing subscription cancellation etc., and that's huge. Like, if I have to go to your app--or worse, your website--to cancel a subscription? I'm gonna just not use your stuff, because I'm going to forget about it until you whack me for another year or whatever.

So then we have two possibilities.

One, you're an outlier and nobody else cares.

Two, many users care about this enough to refuse payment systems that don't have it. In that case there will be a market for another payment system that has easy cancellations but charges ~5% instead of 30%.

Either way nobody pays 30% anymore.
One hour or five minutes, it doesn't matter, because either way, for commuters it's 2x1.55gbp, or twice as much as before. If the average paycheck hasn't gone up by that much in this time, it's more expensive for the user.
Looking at the city Sydney close to the Hurricane, I am really confused... LoL.
Also, people don't overuse polymorphism like they do in Java and C#.
Last weekend, I put together a working sample for how to show multiple syntax errors from Racket macros. It works in DrRacket and racket-xp-mode. It's based on code from Typed Racket.

https://gist.github.com/srcreigh/f341b2adaa0fe37c241fdf15f37...

The well-documented Racket `raise-syntax-error` will let you display 1 syntax error at a time. It works by throwing an exception during macro expansion hence you only get 1 error in your IDE. That code lets you highlight 2+ errors.

Please build a type system in Racket! I would love to try it out.

Helpfully, the above sample code is an example of how to store compiler-level state. It works by storing errors in a list until its parsed the whole module, then sends all the errors to an error handler (which is not documented so well). Next, just wrap all your base forms, rewrite module code for your type-checking lifecycle, add some type declaration syntax, type inference, etc.

I would love to have a language that can be used to define a customized type system in Racket.

Typed Racket is an incredible feat. Can you imagine adding an entire type system without writing a separate compiler? Using all the batteries included with your language? Even IDE tooling has its own API to let you display any error messages you want? Not to mention Go-To-Definition is built into the language.

I don't like that Typed Racket enforces soundness with Runtime checks, I much prefer TypeScript style checking. I also have run into some pretty confusing messages ie [1]. Diversity is healthy, it'd be nice to have a selection of static typechecking systems to choose from for Racket.

Actually, not quite. Wine is closer to what WSL1 was. The closest equivalent to "Windows Subsystem for Linux GUI" on WSL2 for Linux would just be ... running Windows in a VM, with FreeRDP doing per-app tunneling to the Linux host.

I think there's even some software for automating this somewhere out there.

I took the twitter title. Looks like they changed it shortly after upload. @dang feel free to update the title

For the record, I think the title agrees with your observations. It says bitcoin is a scam, and it isn't because of how it is designed, but rather how it is used now.

That consumers of news parody understand the what's going on in the world better than people who consume what is ostensibly straight news dates back at least to 2004.

> at the start, there is a PGP-signed copy of the text offered

Which shows you don't understand the problem.

HTTPS on content only sides is primary about preventing people with tampering with the website in ways which potentially can hurt you from just opening them. The increased trust-ability of the content is important too, but only secondary.

A PGP signed copy helps me to verify the content after I already fully loaded it with a lot of additional overhead.

It doesn't prevent JS injected into your side from being executed, does it prevent a injected http redirect to a fingerprinting site or similar (which e.g. could use non JS fingerprinting or potential non JS based RCE attack vectors, which luckily I haven't heard of in browsers in recent years but are not impossible at all.).

As long a browsers don't check the signature before loading/parsing any content it isn't secure.

EDIT: In general in 2021 using HTTS "doesn't cost you anything" (in the sense of nearly anyone can afford it), neither does it prevent you from still doing what you currently do (standing by PGP(oversimplified)) and being against the by now pretty much not-undoable not-decentralized HTTS infrastructure. But realism is a important part of security.
AFAIK, the rejection to review the abortion bill by SCOTUS was a procedure issue and not made on the merits of the case itself

Seems it's in the license agreement. What's unusual is that actually matters here. If someone tried to prevent benchmarking Postgresql by licensing terms, someone else would promptly ignore them and do it anyways, since Postgresql is free to download. Oracle licenses are very expensive, so anybody who has access to it also has money and a lot to lose by flouting license terms.
I think the expectations of e2ee have been greatly stretched in this case. e2ee means that the data is encrypted from device to device only and that's it, from one end to another end. If someone backs up their device in an unencrypted way then thats out of scope for WhatsApp - that's not what e2ee is about.

People that expected full at rest encryption (which is what a backup system would include) despite the app never being advertised that way would have always needed a large kick to realise that isn't the case. Encryption is complicated and you can't expect everybody to fully understand what e2ee/at rest/etc really means. This whole situation is a learning experience for everyone and I wouldn't blame WhatsApp for it either. They now know that advertising encryption needs a little more explanation.

The US has more than 300 million people and quite different cultures in the different states.

Then Scandinavian countries have like 5-10 million people and have no difference in culture (besides lots of immigration).

So when the government says something, most people have very similar ideas about it. The differences between people are not very big. It's not like a cowboy from Texas talking to a MIT graduate.

80% for USA would be like 80% for western Europe or similar.
Apple likes to imply it's only about frivolous things like powerups in games or iTunes songs, but software is eating the world, so the whole economy is moving to being "digital".
