Here's the timeline of events (AFAIK):

1. On 2017-09-22, Ms. Manning attempted to enter Canada but was denied by the border guards. [0]

2. On or about On 2017-09-25, Ms. Manning received a letter from the Canadian government detailing why she was previously denied entry.

3. Ms. Manning and her lawyers files an appeal to the Canadian Immigration and Refugee Board. A tribunal hearing is scheduled for 2021-10-07. Let's call this hearing "Hearing A".

4. While Hearing A was still pending, the Canadian government allowed Ms. Manning entry for a few days into Canada in 2018.

5. Both sides (the Canadian border official side and Ms. Manning's side) are able to argue their case before Hearing A. The title of this news story refers to the fact that the border official side plans to put forth an argument in Hearing A.

Swarm is (and always has been) an independent project: github.com/docker/swarmkit
> self-driving cars/etc, more integrated city infra cannot happen without 5G

What do you mean? We basically have the first prototype of self driving cars already and what city infrastructure works on 5G but not 4G?
An electron app is not necessary SaaS but it is still a hidden web browser running an application built on web technologies (Essentially HTML5 which is html+css+javascript).
Fan and then filter could lead to the fan blades getting dirtier faster. Other than that, I'm not sure if it makes a difference as far as effectiveness.
Yeah, really, how?

Fusion power plants still need land, buildings, generators, switchyards, wire, own power consumption, environmental impact reports, planning permits, regulations, inspections, and all the rest. And they need exotic materials and weird engineering in their construction.

Really: how does fusion get us to ~1% (correction: ~5%) of current power prices?

I've never seen a convincing explanation. Usually it's bare assertion. Infrequently it's handwavium/unobtanium.
It’s a reference to one of the most popular youtubers, who had the highest subscriber count for years.
1. Based on the size of the study there are thresholds for statistical significance.

2. Only a portion of the people were even wearing masks. A few people wore masks and the risk of infection dropped by a few percent. Declaring masks don't work because a couple people wore them yet the entire population didn't see a complete decline in infection is illogical and dishonest.

3. The study not being able to conclude in a statistically significant way that cloth masks prevent infection is completely different from concluding that cloth masks are worthless. Your aversion to masks is completely a reflection of your bias and not supported by this study.
10,000 hours is enough for someone having extraordinary talent to be able to realize a small portion of that and have it come out completely astonishing.

It's also enough for a mediocre performer to reach a plateau early then end up becoming somewhat of an authority without anything astonishing, and with no talent to spare.

It takes a lot of perseverance either way which can truly blur the lines but these are two opposite ends of the spectrum.
This is a good point that was acknowledged in the study and by other commenters here. However don’t you think comparing with the sun is a slippery analogy? Specifically when discussing the health effects of duration of exposure, beam shape, pulse pattern, etc?

IIRC you can use fusion 360 in the browser now?

WhatsApp is of course available on the web. I'm a regular user of play.spotify.com, works great. Figma is a great design tool available only on the web.

I do get your point, but there are more and more things moving to the web as more and more standards are being published (if you think this is a good idea is another discussion).

Modern html and CSS is by far the least complex GUI framework I've used. And it is (somewhat) cross platform.
What I find most interesting about this pandemic is how everyone seems to have become a virologist, epidemiologist, or both! The medical schools must be bursting at the seams. Tell me - where is it that you got your degree from?
This idea came up from a Japanese guy(me)who are used to the public bathroom environment in Japan. I was surprised that there was no bathroom in the train station in NY.
I generally consider myself a nihilist, but only because it's the very last stop on the bus ride of my failed attempts at religion and other philosophies.

I grew up very religious and when I lost my faith in my 20s, I tried to replace it w/ absurdism and existentialism, but couldn't shake the notion that lives deep in me that ultimately, even if humanity spreads across the cosmos and we're able to find meaning in our own individual existences, the universe will inevitably suffer heat death, from which there is no eternalistic escape.

These days, my morality entirely stems from the reduction and prevention of suffering, which is ultimately the only moral currency we have.

This led me to veganism and anti-natalism, as the best way to prevent individual suffering is for the individual to never exist in the first place (see: David Benatar's Better Never to Have Been; or Ecclesiastes 4:2-3). Needless to say, these are wildly unpopular philosophies. In light of this, I began to come to the realization that we're all nihilists at our core. We embrace religion or other philosophies to ward it off, because it's a truly uncomfortable sate of mind, as the author notes in this post, and the only alternative is total misery until we die. And then, depending on your philosophy, perhaps a true eternal bliss awaits you in paradise! How convenient! The happy people among us are the best at this practice - lying to ourselves successfully about the true nature of reality. We don't care what gets us there, as long as we get there.

All this to say: I was much happier when I believed in God.

"There is a need for research regarding local heat developments on small surfaces, e.g., skin or the eye, and on any environmental impact." [1]
I would not discard research because its "ex vivo" qualia. I think you are missing the point. It is not about if short-term 5G exposure can damage a extracted bovine brain, but the worrisome part. it is that current gel-based models to study its effects are at least, limited in their scope. All of that, without mentioning anything regarding insect population which are rapidly declining due to primarily electromagnetic pollution [2].

a slightly different way to view it is that there is a class of customers that needs to do something re: kubernetes on-prem and in-cloud. in an ideal world they would like to have someone solve all of those use cases for them, preferably in a way that is consistent and has all of the icky operations delegated away.

Not directly related, but ECS Anywhere has been a pretty OK experience.

Same - locally no one wants to run the admin plane, but folks are happy to see some beefy machines in their AWS account.

Problem is usually if data is in AWS, you want compute locally - the on prem has the bandwidth charges so need to be careful there.
Electron’s user experience is atrocious even on recent hardware. It falls right into the uncanny valley of superficially appearing native and while not behaving natively.
Yes, and as I wrote in another comment, that is completely different from concluding that cloth masks don't work. You're drawing a conclusion that the data doesn't support.
Presumably someone is asking for it but it sounds a little similar to AWS Outposts, but giving a bit more control to the customer.

Ha, and on the mac side we now have AppKit, SwiftUI and Catalyst and any combination of those you feel like.
Thanks. I visited NY in May and faced the issue. The purchased drink made me want to pee again too. The contact page works by a phone. I can change it to my LinkedIn too haha. I’ll use the app when I visit NY again. You can add your favorite bathroom place on the app too.
People die of sun induced skin cancer all the time right?

But there can be 100 mobile phones in a room, or 100,000 in a football stadium I guess. I know exposure distance is a factor...
In the last decade I built 2 houses in the same neighborhood over 6 years. The first didn't require a return per room and the second one did - they had changed their code. A few years later and they had reversed their decision.

I guess the point is that it depends on when and where something was built. My most recent home is only a few years old and doesn't have a return per room and no code to say it should shouldn't.
As someone else mentioned this looks a bit worrying, until you realize that 5g has much lower penetration (and this experiment was carried out with tissue with no skull/skin etc surrounding it), that a live brain is actively being cooled by bloodflow, and also were you to carry out this same experiment with regular sunlight the graph would be off the charts even compared to 5g.

Although research like this is definitely very important. I would just be wary of drawing conclusions without listening to the opinions of people with more knowledge in the field than you or I.

Not sure why they are focused on the Bay Area. This happens across the US and even other countries as well.
Self-driving cars, of course, and city infrastructure, are both completely irrelevant to this issue, since neither of those applications involves holding the 5G hardware up to your head.

Come to think of it, a vanishingly small and steadily-shrinking percentage of cell phone users hold their phones up to their heads, these days, too, so really, it's hard to see the relevance of this research.

I barely even use my iPhone as a phone, at all, these days, let alone in a baroque fashion like holding it up to my head.
I think I was clear… the adverse effects are not happening for humans due to the epithelial cells absorbing / blocking the radiation… did you not read what I wrote or did you expect I wouldn’t point out the strawman?

I said that these may be harmful to insects, that the same mechanism isn’t present.

For example: https://phys.org/news/2020-09-mobile-insects-german.html

Here is a direct quote:

Of the 83 studies deemed scientifically relevant, 72 showed that radiation had a negative effect on bees, wasps and flies.

These effects ranged from a reduced ability to navigate due to the disturbance of magnetic fields to damage to genetic material and larvae.

the article is purely didactic and pedagogical. Nihilism is bad for society, therefore it's not okay, without nihilism there's no morality, therefore it's not okay, and so on. It's a sort of finger-wagging attitude of a parent.

This purely instrumental stance of viewing the world is basically just cope. A more mature and real approach is what you could call having an honest stance towards the world. If you come to the conclusion that nihilism, of whatever form, is what describes the world best, is the correct stance to take, and so on, you ought to do it. Not because it's 'good' or 'bad', but because it's intellectually and personally honest.

In the Will to Power one of the first things Nietzsche says is that we'll have to pay for 2000 years of Christianity. That is to say, the loss of absolute values and meaning is painful. Nonetheless it is necessary, because it has the benefit of being true. The widespread nihilism that the author thinks is a form of malaise is just a disorientation, having shed old values after recognizing that they're not fundamentally real.
Thanks a lot for this great project. I looked in the issues for Sqlite support and saw the merge of PR to "Add three new experimental engines, including SQLite" [0] and there's major architecture changes involved. That merge was 1.5 yr ago though, and I am curious what the plans are to take that further.

Good point (extreme case). However, the "nothing to hide" argument isn't relevant because nothing is hidden; this is all public data. The quick counter-argument seems to be, "You're not trying to hide, so you've got not claim to any sort of privacy rights."

And, once again, I'm pretty much just playing the devil's advocate. My real concern isn't so much the visibility of the data, it's the analysis of the data. Any conclusion can be drawn from any data set, given sloppy enough analysis. I learned this back in the 90s, doing performance testing for a large pharma, comparing an app written in C and the same app written in something called "Java". My mentor, and old school C programmer, told me, "The data is what we say it is." Guess what? The app written in C performed better, and the young punk "Java" programmers lost the contract. The bad old days. The point is, if cops are buying this data and the analysis, the data companies know what the cops want, and they'll give it to them. That's scary.

Most web apps are an accessibility disaster compared to their native counterparts. I guess that is not the main blocking factor, but not being native has subtle disadvantages all over the place. I remember there was actually a time where web apps were a trend, but most vendors stopped doing that since they just couldn't provide a really smooth user experience.

Daily Notes / #12
> What apple charges for repairs almost definitely has markup, so it's possible that they can provide insurance that averages out below the expected "cost" of repairs but still makes apple money.

For them to make money from offering the insurance, it would have to be a gain over their alternative of you not having the insurance and then paying them to repair the device if it breaks.

They also have to be making enough to cover the moral hazard. People who buy insurance are more careless because someone else pays for the carelessness, so the insurance has to be more expensive by the amount of the resulting increase in damage.
Hey, that's not fair, there were many people "working" on the 2nd avenue tunnel who were never there. There's still illegal corruption!

Don’t forget insurance prices are also tailored to your particular risk as much as the insurance company can figure out how. Meanwhile, AppleCare is the same fee for everyone. So for you, your risk model might say that AppleCare isn’t worth it. But for someone else who has a much higher risk of accidental damage (for example, parents of young kids) AppleCare might be a far better value proposition.
Seattle, and, no, not for firmware engineers (we have a pretty solid firmware team!).
The only alternative to religious thinking is misery? That sounds very much like religion insisting upon itself, like when they claim that without the fear of god we would all be savage and immoral. It's nonsense, really.

But there were a few absurd reductions in what you said, including the idea that the prevention of suffering is tenable yet somehow nihilistic.

Would it not be more sustainable to focus on spreading joy instead of preventing suffering? That way you won't drive yourself crazy focusing on the negative aspects of humanity.
> I am wondering why mobile apps too haven't entirely been replaced by Web apps

Simple equation.
Efficiency of a mobile device is directly proportional to the efficiency of the runtime the apps are running on. For example Objective-C / swift has a GC-less memory model which just means we get to do more with less memory. This is how iPhone typically ship with lesser RAM than Android phones, yet do everything that Android phones are capable of surprisingly well.

Desktops/Laptops have no need to worry about extreme memory efficiency. They are always/usually connected to a power outlet. But mobile platforms on the other hand need extreme memory efficiency to get by with battery power.

If you do the math, the abstractions that the web provides comes with a huge cost. A virtual rendering engine, a programming runtime that is notorious for bad memory management and all this on top of a huge VM called the browser. It doesn't scale.

> mobile web browsers provide a worse experience compared to native applications, unlike Electron or Chrome on Desktop that provides a much better experience in general

Electron apps are perhaps faster and cheaper to make than native desktop GUI apps for most organizations because they already have Web developers, but I've never heard anyone claim they're "better" than native, if that's what you're saying. Do you mean they're somehow better for the end user? If so, how?
The sun does pretty well.
5g has nothing to do with control of self-driving cars.

The control of a vehicle is never going to be performed over an RF link like 5G.

What is suggested for self-driving is higher level traffic management which is more "advisory" and is non-critical (think "waze" or google maps).

Wikipedia lends itself to exactly the kind of cringe worthy coverage I described above. Starting with the reliable source policy which has only become more partisan in recent years. All of those reliable sources were involved in uncritically promoting WMD propaganda.

I agree. I was frustrated about bathroom and internet connection between train stations. In Tokyo we can use internet in the subway. NY cannot.
Not really, the comment is describing an actual use case and unique value proposition of cryptocurrency, rather than talking about market price.
Sunlight is much, much higher intensity than a cell phone, its photons are much, much higher energy, and it doesn't fall off to a tiny fraction if it is more than a few feet away.

I am not suggesting that 5G is anywhere near as bad as sunlight. I am suggesting using sunlight to understand the trend the parent post was concerned about and to understand that many of the intensities employed by this study are not at all typical of a cell phone.
Yes. We had to do native because there are no Push Notifications on Safari mobile. I understand people hating the permission pop-ups on marketing-saturated blogs and other places that don't need it, but that's the whole purpose of a web app is to be more app-like and less static-website-like.
I remember a course on game theory at business school where we proved all insurance to be non-optimal. There were two ways to deal with catastrophic risk if I recall correctly, depending on the gain function:

a) if catastrophic risk is infinite - no premium will be acceptable due to price.

b) if catastrophic risk is discrete - it is optimal not to insure since the expected loss is ruinous anyways.

Led me to be highly skeptical of all insurance ever since. Paying out of pocket previously felt scary - now it feels good since I know I am saving money with acceptable risk.

Of course - I am more than happy to have mandatory insurance for healthcare, liability, etc. since I am not living in the US.

Going back to my game theory text books now :)
