It is possible that anti-parasitic action is what causes those disparities -- if parasites are widespread and cause complications with covid, then treating whole population with an anti-parasitic drug would improve outcomes.

So India and Africa should absolutely keep using IVM.

In high latitudes similar effect could possibly be had with treating everybody with vitamin D.

Unfortunately the current zeitgeist is to send you home with nothing to wait till your lips turn blue.
> Likewise, browsers are adding clipPath to the compositor. So instead of animating borderRadius, animate clipPath with the inset function.

If the fix is so easy, why wouldn't browsers implement borderRadius using clip-path behind the scenes? Does it lead to different results in any case?
I experienced that too, but I wrote it off as a keyboard issue since it stopped happening after I switched from AnySoftKeyboard to FlorisBoard. Which keyboard are you using?
Is anyone even reading my comment or any of the comments above me? I'm not arguing against the FDA's safety requirements. The argument is for decoupling safety from efficacy requirements to make a treatment available to acquire. Right now availability is coupled with mandatory coverage by Medicare & insurance, which means treatments with borderline/controversial efficacy results like this Alzheimer one is either totally banned or mandatory for prescription & coverage. You wouldn't be able to sell heroin.
I use https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/ as my preferred firefox android fork.

I use the addon collection from account 16201230 named "What-I-want-on-Fenix".

This gives me uBlock Origin, Bypass Paywalls Clean, I Don't Care About Cookies, SponsorBlock, ViolentMonkey, etc.

The stewardship of Firefox and Fennec are a real concern, but for now, this works.

Constructive criticism is important. However, praising things that are working well when everybody else is layering on the negativity with a trowel regarding the "death" of Firefox, and how it is a "mess" is important so that we don't end up with more undesirable changes made.

original promise: Firefox for Android, like Chrome but with infinite extensions written by people just like you for people just like you

new promise: Firefox for Android, underinvestment in UX you'll definitely hate and 12 potential extensions exclusively approved by a committee of parasitic boomers too far gone to be competitive on the contemporary labour market.

Absolute garbage. However way this cut, one team or otherwise, they clearly didn't have the SLIGHTEST clue about the primary value prop of their main product for its users. Today's Mozilla is organizationally incompetent, and I genuinely worry (user for decades) that this time it truly is beyond rescue. That the situation on Android has persisted for almost a year already tells you all you need to know: Mozilla appears not to even possess the nervous system to respond to the obvious pain and misery of its users from that disastrous Android UI rewrite. They seem utterly deaf and dumb, almost like it were already a cadaver. Reminds me of Yahoo
That is actually a intentional design element of the USB-C spec... the connectors are intended to fail in a way where the cable takes the hit, rather than the internal connection. That used to be a big issue with USB-A and -B, the internal connections getting torn off of the boards they were attached to. Cables are cheap to replace, devices are generally expensive to repair (hopefully just disassembly and a soldering iron).

Price gouging especially in a system with transparent pricing is not difficult to prevent with laws.

This is really is the ideal place for government in healthcare. Make the laws, set the standards, level the playing field and let the free market work just like in every other facet of society.

It’s funny people who see how incompetent and irresponsible our government is on a daily basis think that handing healthcare over to them is a good idea.
As an aside, I notice "let me preface this..." introductions more often than I used to.

I don't know what to make of it but I've found myself writing it some times, and when I do it, it's because I'm imagining a specific audience and trying to mitigate their backlash. Or I'm being too self-aware in the writing and assuming things readers don't.

The article starts off better without the apologetic rationalisation of something I haven't even read yet.

See for yourself, copy my post and add "Let me preface this by saying I don't have a problem with what I'm about to mention, but I am going to point out something I find frustrating, I've found it frustrating for a while, and I need to talk about it."

Well
People are unlikely to have long-term success selling to Americans over the Internet if customers have to wait some indefinite number of weeks for items to cross the ocean. Dropshipping, as described in the linked article, is bullshit. A couple of years ago, most of the products sold on their sites were shipped directly. However, they were starting to set up warehouses to hold inventory. I used to do e-commerce for dropshippers who sold furniture, lighting, chair bags where the companies were run from one or two-room offices. The products were delivered from other companies' warehouses in the US or Canada. And if you need to track your package, I suggest https://www.packages24.com/carriers/cnexps-tracking. I used it a lot when I ordered things.
The majority of users have no backups at all. The ones that do either use one of the big three cloud syncing things (Google Drive, iCloud Drive, OneDrive) or use a local backup (TimeMachine). Everything else is just a niche. (unless you want to pull in corporate users)
The serious malfeasance part is more the media blitz to demonize, and the public health push to inject beaurocratic restrictions between patients and doctors, going so far as to tell pharmacies not to fill prescriptions.

Anyone trying to convince people Ivermectin is an animal drug also falls into this malfeasance category
People don't always leave, although they do die. Peter Norvig has been at Google since 02000. Jeff Dean has been at Google since 01999. Ken Thompson was at Bell Labs from 01966 to 02000, when he "retired" (but, really, Bell Labs no longer existed). Mick Jagger has been in the Rolling Stones since 01962. Marvin Minsky was at the AI Lab from its founding as Project MAC in 01963 until his death in 02016.

What would the Rolling Stones look like if someone had said, "Our organization shouldn't be resting on the shoulders of Mick Jagger"? What would Google look like if someone had said "Our organization shouldn't be resting on the shoulders of Jeff and Sanjay"? What would CSAIL look like if someone had said "Our organization shouldn't be resting on the shoulders of Minsky"? They'd look like mediocre failures.

"How are you going to replace Jagger if he quits the Stones?" is not really the right question. You have to accept that the Stones without Jagger, or Bell Labs without Thompson, just would not be the same. To a very great extent the productivity of a creative organization depends on its ability to attract and retain high performers, because it's inevitable that it rests on their shoulders. Denial won't change that.

If you want your organization to succeed in a creative field, the right question to ask is, "How can we hire people like Ken Thompson, and how can we keep them from wanting to leave?"
As per the article, you don't need a math PhD to code it either:

But But I think having practiced a lot of math and just solved a lot of problems. And generally being good at math. Like I've taught linear algebra. So that part of games is not hard for me, right?

It was something like that. But it didn't I didn't really end up needing it. I mean, I used it to inform what I was doing but in the end faster just to use discrete simulation and miss a little bit. It's fine to miss. [Tarn laughs]
Appreciate your response but disagree with the premise that
> That's how much everything, from infrastructure to land use to feed to water to labour to delivery costs for the same ground beef you'd get from livestock.

There are a ton of subsidies provided by the government that are not accounted for in this cost. Water rights, land, delivery all are accounted for differently and I would not say with any measure of confidence that they are all represented well in the consumer cost. There is also the large externalities that are completely not accounted for like carbon emissions.

It is sort of like comparing electric cars vs gas back when people would comment how cheap oil is and ignore the wars fought over it and the environmental devastation wrought from its production.
I honestly believe it's more complicated than that, though I also believe trying to say anything meaningful on the topic is essentially Verboten and pretty much a guaranteed means to get downvoted and attacked.
Yeah, the Save as PDF feature was handy and its absence from the current Firefox for Android feels like a regression. I hope they add it back.

I've found the Firefox tabbing experience much nicer on mobile. Chrome wrecked their UX recently, sometimes new tabs become circles at the bottom (that don't obey the tab button) and sometimes they become big squares at the top that are under the tab button. The two types of tabs are confusing as hell.

And sometimes the big square tabs have little squares inside them so you now have tiny circles inside little squares inside big squares and this 3-dimensional tabbing is just nuts. 1 dimension is enough.
"Or, the tendency to avoid fixing your unpleasant reality by doing something about it instead of participating in the fantasy world of social media."

The reality is that a lot of people don't have the wherewithal to "fix their unpleasant reality". Hence drugs and alcohol, daytime TV, and various other kinds of destructive escapes from reality exist. Social media is just the latest one.
100% agree. It's a good start.

Also, I think emergency healthcare should be contemplated differently than ... I'll call it "premeditated healthcare". In one instance, the individual can make a deliberate shopping decision and weigh cost/benefit. That's fundamentally different than an ambulance taking you to the ER when you're bleeding out ... no price shopping then.
So in a sense, cultured people like cultured meat.

That logic is the exact opposite approach of VC investing. They invest in moonshot ideas for the chance at a unicorn, not because it makes a solid lifestyle business.

Again, this doesn't solve the meritocracy problem. If the top 250 get a steady source of income, which ones do you invest in? You wouldn't bother with the moonshot talent because the expected payoff is lower. It only becomes worthwhile to invest in those that have a good chance of breaking into the top 250. That is, the well established. It doesn't follow that a flatter pay structure is fairer in any way.
Yeah and I concede that smoking is not exactly like meat eating in that smoking is exceedingly binary. However I stand by my prediction that future generations will look back on how much meat we eat with a generous amount of disgust or shock. Heck, I already do this. I don't understand how people can eat nothing but meat and carbs and feel okay. Doesn't it hurt their digestion?
Nice idea. Do you get the location data from the image? Offering a map view showing all of the pins/path in one view would be nice.

I'm doing something similar (low-touch blog/diary tool) with https://textpost.me. One limitation with operating over text only is lack of data that comes through, including user's local time and location. I'd like figure out an easy way to allow for that, which would make it more functional as a travel diary.
It's unfortunate there's no standard way to dispatch this kind of thing ARIA wise. Fortunately live navigation is opt-in, so folks can continue to use `<%= link "page", to: ... %>` vs `<%= live_redirect "page", to: %>` when needed. On the form submission side, we actually still have you covered within LiveView, because the server can instruct the client to do a plain redirect:

def handle_event(save, params, socket) do
...
{:noreply,
socket}
|> put_flash(:info, "It worked!"
|> redirect(to: "..."))}
end

So the server can do `redirect` or `live_redirect` and flash works in both cases, so I believe this broadens LiveView usage a bit for your data entry requirements.

I'll also check out the ARIA region approaches. I think something like that would be drop-in for LiveView in the live layout, and we at the very least could include docs on it.

It’s unlikely they’d want to let someone accused of “terrorist activity” download their data, since if it was actually a terrorist some future investigation would probably blame them for materially supporting terrorism which is illegal.

> The capability in Xiaomi's Mi 10T 5G phone software had been turned off for the "European Union region", but can be turned on remotely at any time, the Defence Ministry's National Cyber Security Centre said in the report.

While a lot of comments are rightly focusing on the censorship aspect of it, IMHO, the most concerning part of this is that this intrusive capability, while disabled for the EU region can be remotely enabled at any time. This implies that Xiaomi, and most likely all Chinese phone vendors and by extension CCP, has backdoors in all these devices.

This re-enabling is probably just the tip of the iceberg, wonder what all they can do via these backdoors?
The problem is, sadly, people scream at google because they "let people see bad things". So Google, for PR reasons, responds.

Wrong.

Cost depends on "how much does the raw aspirin cost in bulk + some standard overhead cost"

Unless you have spoken to all managers and SWEs I doubt you can make such a blanket statement about the immense workforces at Microsoft, Google and Apple.

Sure, one could argue that Microsoft is profit-driven, Google might be marketshare-driven and Apple might be UX-driven, and all of those could be true (or at least true for a major subset of both the engineers and the targeted user group). But it would be a guess at best and not helpful to your personal situation or anyone else's.

> Getting rid of ruminant cattle farming will just make the world worse off as food demand gets redirected to a smaller amount of arable land and missing cattle would accelerate climate change and desertification. Humanity does not have a lack of land to live on, there is plenty to go around. City land is expensive because everyone wants to be on small space.

Wouldn't getting rid of ruminant cattle farming reduce the amount of arable land required since so much of it is used to grow animal feed?

No you can apply an infinite negative value/infinite cost and use that to bootstrap deontological ethics.

You would do this in a mathematical system where only a single infinity exists since otherwise you might get some weird utilitarian algebra with infinities which would ruin the simplicity of deontology.

For anything mainstream, Reddit isn't very useful anyway unless you enjoy perpetual outrage. For niche topics, you can hopefully find a bulletin board somewhere run by those actually interested in the topic. Unfortunately, Reddit has sucked the air out of the room for many of these types of topics since it is seductively simple to set up a sub-reddit for your community before realizing all of the downsides to using reddit. Facebook Groups is an in-between alternative but relying on Facebook is as bad (if not worse) than relying on Reddit.
Unfortunately not. This is why I considered FF before last years release to have been _the_ browser for Android.
