They didn't decline to hear the case on substantive grounds (i.e., on the merits). They declined to hear an emergency appeal to stay the law on procedural grounds.

Amazing data representation, but what does it mean? These boundaries were always fuzzy and constantly shifting, and whatever compromise or snapshots of history are made here, they may demonstrate the complexity and ubiquity of indigenous peoples in the Americas at the cost of suggesting these peoples exercised real territorial control usage patterns like those of Europeans of the time. Which sells them short. They found a different and perhaps better way to co-exist for many hundreds of years without formal states or territorial boundaries, largely without large-scale wars, plagues, and (for the most part) wholesale environmental collapse. We should study how this worked in the Americas without superimposing our ideas of land area control on them.
Singular "they" dates back to the 14th century. "Thou" fell out of use in the 17th century.

I found your phrase “will to power” very fitting. I see Thiel as a modern day descendant of Nietzsche: Re-evaluation of values. Seeking solitude away from the herd. Not competing with the “barkers of the marketplace”. Not succumbing to mimetic impulses. Daring to create the future.

(“Will to Power” got a bad rap. It was published posthumously by Nietzsche’s sister who had ties with the Nazis. But Nietzsche’s concept of “power” has little to do with power over others. What he’s talking about is the power of the maker. Of the one who’s capable not of stealing value from others, but of creating value where none existed before.)

All of the hand-wringing over population decline is about the continuance of an economic model based on cancerous growth (i.e, without limit, until the host dies). The economists and politicians can't conceive of trying to restructure the economic model to the lived reality (see also: global warming); the lived reality must conform itself to the economic model.

While these terms are fuzzy, JSX has less in common with the template languages we used in the 2000s and more in common with interface builder languages like XUL. The experience is assembling components on a screen rather than generating HTML. Despite all the plumbing complexity, React/JSX (and Angular et al) feels fairly familiar to GUI developers from the 90s like me.

I agree with you that "client side app being rendered server side then hydrated" is pretty weird. I also don't think this is the future of the web but rather a holdover from the previous HTML-based era. It may never go away; after all, lots of content is very well suited to simple HTML.

You make a very good point. I've seen videos from Tesla's AI days where they show debug bounding boxes around identified objects, and the boxes always seem to disappear when objects are occluded. Perhaps that's just a visualisation choice, but I'm taking the precautionary approach of assuming it means that the car has no object permanence because it's not considering a wide enough time window.

The unchallenged near-deification of law enforcement and hardline "tough on crime" propaganda in the USA leads too many people to think a certain way:

1. If there was some civil asset forfeiture, the victim must've done something wrong because cops certainly can't be wrong.

2. If you've committed even a minor, non violent, crime, it doesn't matter how harsh the penalty is, you deserve it.

3. A majority of voters don't see themselves as criminals and aren't hassled by cops like some segments of the population are. They think this will never affect them, so they pay it little mind - until the day it does affect them.

If you were receiving unemployment, you were receiving it from the state and the state was dispersing the additional funds mandated by the federal government. There would be no additional need to file another claim or switch.

Claim numbers are not going to net change due to the ending of the federal program, only increases in unemployment will change the numbers as they are.
> In other words, what the are you even talking about?

I'm not talking about naturalism. I'm talking about economics.

We're trying to grow muscle tissue without the rest of the organism present, and now we're finding out that you need basically the entirety of the rest of an organism in order to support growing vast quantities of muscle tissue.

Read the article. The exact problems that need to be solved -- supply nutrients and fluids, protect the tissue from infection, allow the tissue to be grown as large as the food supply that is available for it, etc. -- are exactly the same problems that an animal already has to solve in order to survive long enough to reproduce.

We're not talking about taking what a bird does and scaling up the concept to something large enough to carry a human. We're talking about taking what an organism does and replacing everything except the muscle tissue with an artificial replacement. You need a circulatory system, immune system, digestive system, respiratory system, temperature regulation system, waste removal, etc. It's not a bigger version of what nature has to do. It's identical to what nature already has to do. They're the same problems on the same scale. It doesn't really matter if we're talking about scaling to massive 100 ton batches. A blue whale is 200 tons.

That's why it's so hard to create something artificial to compete economically with animal husbandry. Evolution has already had to solve the identical problems, and it's already done so with the requirement of selecting for efficiency of resources. All we did with animal husbandry was also select for optimal growth and domesticity. And the scales that nature already operates at are already within the range of what is logistically workable for human industry.

It's not that nature does it better. It's that nature's been solving this problem since abiogenesis and it wasn't particular about the flavor of the muscle tissue it got. It shouldn't surprise us that it's solution is cheaper cheaper or more efficient. It has over 3 billion years of a head start.

I think it would help everyone if we all used specific terms when discussing covid infections.

From what I've gathered, the current generation of covid vaccines (mRNA, J&J, AZ) induce mainly a IgG immune response (as well as other things I know nothing about), but they certainly do not induce an IgA response. IgG is humoral immunity which protects your blood, and lower respiratory track somewhat, IgA is mucosal immunity which protects your upper-respiratory track (nose, mouth, etc) as well as other mucous membranes.

Since covid typically first infects the nose, studies which I cannot find at the moment have shown that vaccinated individuals have only slightly less viral load in the nose than unvaccinated. At the onset of the curve however (first few days), they are the same.

Viral load does not equate directly to infectivity, but from this we can say that vaccinated people can spread covid, whilst being asymptomatically infected.

Saying you "have" covid is too vague, since you can "have" it in your nose, in your blood, etc.

I don't think so. Spending control is much easier when you withdraw a fixed amount at the beginning of the month.

> Kinesis has also their freestyle-line, which are physically splitted keyboard. But traditionally, the name refers to the split of the key-segments, not the whole keyboard. Until a decade ago, there barely where any real split keyboards, and split segments was the mainstream.

Indeed, I saw the title of this post and I wondered if the poster was looking for a setup similar to the Freestyle... and it turns out they were!

I made the switch a couple of years ago from a standard layout mechanical to the "Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB" (nominally a gaming keyboard, but I don't use the gaming features) and would not go back. This device can't achieve quite as much separation as the "dual keyboard" approach in this blog entry, but it's not too far off.

As for the switches, in addition to the mechanical version with its various switch options, they also make a rubber dome variant of this keyboard, which happens to be cheaper.

We are working with a few community members to support as many systems as possible RN. On down the road, there might be aossibility of supporting different container methods, but for now, we are focusing our efforts on using LXC
As for restrictions, I can point out two things we know. Let's start with masks.

First, we know that masks help to reduce spread. There have been large-scale studies that show conclusive results along these lines. Like https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2021/09/surgical-mask... .

Second, we know that to some degree, mandates affect compliance levels. Here I think the data is less clear. One study (can't find link) showed that a mask mandate was something that just lagged a population increasing mask usage on their own. And it's imaginable that for some populations, a mandate might decrease compliance, when they might have otherwise masked up voluntarily. But for other populations, mandates increase compliance.

But the point is separate from mandates: "mitigation" works. Meaning, social practices like mask use and distancing, whether mandated or not. Those practices drive down disease prevalence.
So does vaccination.

And people are Really bad at visualize exponential growth. Here's an example: Given the current understanding of mRNA effectiveness against Delta infection, you can even estimate counterfactual Rt. For instance, right now in Portland OR, regional Rt is around 0.91. So there's a halving rate of a few weeks. But given Portland's vaccination rate, if we had the exact same mitigation levels other than the vaccination rate, but if no one in this region were vaccinated, regional Rt would be around 2, meaning a doubling rate of 1-2 weeks. That is a huge difference in amount of suffering. And estimates of R0 for Delta (absent any mitigation) range from 5-9, so by that measure, current mitigation levels are saving a lot of suffering and a lot of lives.
There's a joke in Cuba: Two women argue about who has the better boyfriend. The one says proudly: "Mine works as a luggage-handler at the airport!" To which the other replies ashamed: "Mine's just a doctor..."

With that in mind I wonder whether it is TSA policy to always have these officers cross-sworn in with the FBI, or if it's a legal loophole which officers can exploit?

From the tweet-thread it looks like local police departments have similar "double-agents"...

So if it is a loophole the guy in the video just figured how to maximize his reward for his moraly derelict actions. Like the luggage handler at Havanna-Airport.
that principle of "slow on approach, since there is a risk" is something I don't feel like I've seen in any of Tesla's videos.

Even the ones where they are proudly showing a Tesla avoiding a collision with a person, the car seems to leave it to the very last second and then slams on the brakes, where my mind is already screaming "BRAKE BRAKE BRAKE" a couple of seconds after I would have started a precautionary slowing.

> That system, by design, has conquered the boom/bust cycle, but western observers refuse to believe this because they are so throughly bought into the architecture of the western financial system and the many billions of words written on the topic of the operation of that system which is based on very different rules that they cannot imagine it could work any other way.

One thing all markets at their very peak have in common is the widespread belief that the business cycle has finally been conquered. Whether that's the "permanently high plateau" of the 1920s or the "new economy" of the late 1990s.

Prometheus's vision is very hard not to like. And, at the same time, there are likely good reasons to be skeptical. (I have very little expertise in this area myself.)

The other suggests that 'the secret ingredient may be lies.' Now, maybe both tweet authors' criticisms are well-founded. But, rhetorically speaking, the tweets aren't appeals to logic.

I think it basically is. I've done work for a company using .Net Core since about 2018. Back then, you had to use the Google stubs and work around a lot of the Microsoft host setup to get it to work. These days, gRPC seems to be on par with REST as a framework.

That said, I'd like to see better support for C# code generation from proto files. For example, the support for nullable types works ok but is a bit cumbersome.

In my opinion China won't face economic problems. At worst they will just chug along like Japan. What will happen is that they increasingly run into political problems. You can get away with a lot of sketchy things if you can promise your people that tomorrow will be a better day. Once the easy growth is gone China will have to figure out how to keep their people happy.
I'm no Canadian nationalist/patriot, and I have a lot of respect for Quebecois culture. But that is just stupid and offensive.

I don't think there's a single Canadian culture. There's many. And no, I don't think much of English Canadian culture comes "from" Quebec. In fact most people in English Canada have very little actual concept of Quebecois culture. The language divide is real.

Quebec is its own distinct nation & culture within Canada.

And frankly if Canada is defined most in response to something, it's the US and its revolution. Loyalist refugees firmed up the foundations of Upper Canada (Ontario) political culture, and the Canadian tradition of "peace, order, and good government" likely has its genesis as a response to the perceived excesses and dysfunctions of the American political tradition.

And all of this is leaving out the first nations, which was the original topic of TFA.

> The main reason flash was killed by Apple was also spite toward Adobe

Prior to and subsequent to Flash (a Macromedia product, fwiw) Apple & Adobe have had extensive relationships and interaction that are in no way indicative of spite.

The main reason Flash died is because performance & power consumption on mobile never got past garbage, despite the platform wars going borderline nuclear on the topic.

Perhaps it's my becoming an ol' fogey, but it's crazy to see the Apple haters of yesteryear also move toward historical revisionism.
