> Consider this obvious thought experiment: given a choice between having to choose between a $10 bill or a $20 bill on the sidewalk, all else being equal, everyone will choose the $20.

All else is never equal. If you change this experiment slightly, you'll get a more interesting result. If there is a $10 bill and a $100 bill on the sidewalk, and you have to choose one to take and one that will return to its owner, most people will choose the $10. The $100 seems suspicious and dangerous (in a "mystical and unpredictable" way.)

Quality is determined by experience and instinct. The personal valuation of a $100 bill might drop below $10 with no added information, other than that all treasure looks less like treasure than a lot of trash does.

Suffice it to say that if there were a market that accurately labeled the values of everything it sold, it wouldn't be a very interesting market.

That's because the politics are affected by size. To big to fail is real.
They failed on several fronts

1. The basic equipment they built simply didn't work at all

2. Their workaround trick of getting a finger prick blood draw, dilute it with water and run the test on a Qwest machine produced wrong results.

3. The fundamental approach itself was unviable. You can't get reliable results from a finger prick.

Theranos failed on all fronts except being able to attract investments from non experts.
Is it ok to be drunk at work? No, but a bit of alcohol would be acceptable in most cases. I guess if something is comparable, it would be ok?

You could go lots of places with it. Tax breaks wherever they build and locate anything physical, section 230, and yeah everything else infrastructure that they use and rely on. Protocols, open source, gov technical bodies etc.
Jaron Lanier did a lot of writing on what a VR system interface might look like. He was (well, probably still is, though I take it he doesn't really program anymore) interested in cutting away from traditional process and window models entirely. Indeed, he argued that even something like interprocess communication should take place solely through the VR environment, as bot avatars interfacing with the same virtual control interfaces that a human avatar would have to do.

I think his main concern was mostly dog-fooding the VR environment, not building back-door interfaces that the bots could use that the humans could not. I don't know if it really has to go that far, but there is a lot that needs to be done to define common interfaces between objects.

Whenever I do my own thinking on how such interfaces would be built, I always end up with something akin to Bluetooth GATT profiles, which is... less than ideal. There's certainly a lot to like about GATT, in that it has a lot of different functionality pre-defined. The dream of device and software interoperability is certainly there. But at the same time, vendors in the wild seem to just shove everything into the public use space and vertically integrate with their own stand alone apps, so maybe Lanier was right.

It probably needs to be something more akin to how AR systems attempt to understand their surrounding world. AR apps also run exclusively, but they do have to consider the huge design challenge of not owning the entire environment. Perhaps a model of AR that can't differentiate between the real world and the virtual world that includes other AR apps is the way to go.
You linked data on breakthrough infections. Those are infections in people who have been vaccinated, some of which can still result in death. I don't believe there have been any reported deaths from the vaccine. There may be an alleged one, but the details are controversial. If you can link data suggesting that the vaccine is 10x to 100x less likely than covid to kill you but does still reliably kill you, I think we could entertain this line of rhetoric further.

Despite that, let's concede the vaccine does kill people: I'm not sure that's unethical though if more people end up dead because the population didn't quickly achieve immunity and stop the spread of the virus. There are a lot of ethical frameworks out there and in the US we are actually a majority rule so as a society we should generally be protecting the interests of the majority of people except in cases where it leads to sever oppression or breach of civil liberties. We are okay with the draft (forced risk of death) during times of war yet somehow when the enemy is unfamiliar in the form of a virus we aren't?
EPAM culture of working with authoritarian and totalitarian states pays back
If what I did there is not transparent, then, it seems, we have reached the end of this conversation.
> Biden's recent speech blaming unvaccinated people being directly responsible for killing the vaccinated, a nonsensical supposition.

Can you explain how this is nonsensical? There is quite a bit of data showing that those who are unvaccinated are much more likely to spread the disease.
Caffeine is very dangerous even at low doses. It doesn't take much to literally kill you.

Good point, tattoos have been around for ever. Bad comparison from me.

I'm actually excited about the new mRNA tech and the massive boost it got from the money during C19. I think lockdown is toxic to society and risks can be taken on vaccines to open things up.

I'm optimistic for humanity and thankful we had a mild-ish pandemic that was fatal for a relatively small percentage, but allowed us to improve our biotech so much in such a short time. This will surely help us next time.

This seems like a decent idea until someone in power decides that you are hateful, angry, or irrational.
Note that while BLAS and friends aren't getting rewritten in C, there is an effort underway to write replacements in Julia. The basic reason is that metaprogramming and better optimization frameworks are making it possible to write these at a higher level where you basically specify a cost model, and generate an optimal method based on that. The big advantage is that this works for more than just standard matrix multiplies. The same framework can give you complex matrices, Integer and boolean matrices, matrices with different algebras (eg max-plus).

How does this compare to a router with custom firmware like Tomato/DD-WRT?
ZHA is great and fast, I prefer it instead of zigbee2mgtt. I have 100+ zigbee devices and 80 z-wave.

> 2k is a rounding error to the cost of most enterprise software

2k per engineer ... that's more than a rounding error. It'd be interesting to compare to per-seat licensing for commercial software. Anyone have examples?
Probably not. QA can't really stop devs from shipping buggy code (depending on release pipeline/processes). Of course a top-notch security team should have audited these services and the infrastructure around them, considering it's Apple...

What you spend on the Dongle, you could spend on the fancier switch, in terms of cost it doesn't matter much.

> If your modem is doing NAT there's literally no reason for this setup.

Unless you wanted more options than your crappy router/modem gives you.

> And it would cause even more issues because you'd have two DHCP servers on the same subnet offering up more than one IP.

No, I specifically said the modem would have to not act as a DHCP server at all, just turn it off.

> Even if you set the LAN side of the modem to disable DHCP and only offer a static address, you've still got both the "public" NAT address and "private" in the arp table of all of your hosts.

Incorrect on two counts. 1) ARP tables only store address translations for your subnet precisely because all addresses not on your subnet must be reached through a gateway. 2) there are only two addresses in the modem<->pi subnet because the pi is performing NAT/PAT for your "LAN" subnet.

> You will absolutely run into issues.

Maybe, it has been a while since I've done anything this silly, but as I recall from doing stuff like this in a lab I had no issues shoving as many subnets as I wanted to on the same network without VLANs.

> If you have the modem spitting out DHCP addresses and the PI spitting out DHCP addresses [...]

You don't. You disable DHCP on the modem.
I haven't, I'll check it out. From what little I read about them, they were at times committing infanticide, so their life probably wasn't as idyllic as it would seem.
Could a laptop beat it? I am thinking of using some old laptops like this if they are better than the router I am using with custom firmware.
Oh, there's a direct connection to the ideology. Know the history, it was exported from white supremacist America to Germany.

"They love to talk about their heritage, and hate to confront their history"; that's all this is.

I went to an exhibit on modern art at SAM. It was full of ironic pieces, like a gauge that measured its own distance to the floor and ceiling (and had some sort of ironic name about literalism or something). The centerpieces was a big blank canvas with the words "I could have done that" scrawled across it in marker.

I stick to historic exhibits for the most part now.
Yes. I wonder how a forum could be set up so that the topic of conversations are not determined by so strongly determined by who responded first.
I picked up on the strangely vague "medical professionals" piece as well. One thing I learned from the pandemic is that not all health/medical professionals are created equal, and that there is a large portion of very specifically trained and fairly uneducated people in the medical community.
Germany was very hard on all the people who looked back on the "good old Nazi days" after ww2. I think that was a good thing. I don't think it happens often but I think it happens. However I don't think that there is anything so problematic that it needs to be censored today though.
Probably should not be ruffling Giga feathers in Germany given the outcome of the election.

Good question. That's an open research area for this particular use case. Some research about flight helmets/night vision goggles indicate that a counterweight alleviates neck strain. But it doesn't have the specific up/down motion that'd be more common here.

IIRC every process inside the iOS has its own cookie jar and browser container, so application X cannot read iOS Safari's or application Y's cookie jar or any cache in that regard.

So, every application's web view is so-called alone on the OS.
> does not solve offline business rules in a general way

hmm no i think it does. the 'Resilience and availability' section is relevant for your question: https://developer.holochain.org/concepts/4_dht/

holochain is completely distributed, so there is no 'offline' and 'online' because there is no third party. it sounds weird writing that but i'm hoping it might challenge you to dig a bit deeper into the docs, because it's there. if not, please come back and let me know so i can pass on feedback about the docs that were unclear or unsatisfactory for you.

> does not solve conflict resolution

from the docs: "Holochain DNAs specify validation rules for every type of entry or link. This empowers agents to check the integrity of the data they see. When called upon to validate data, it allows them to identify corrupt peers and publish a warrant against them. [...] (the DNA is simply a collection of functions for creating, accessing, and validating data.)"

Good point on the sustained usage changing the economics at the scale they're at, I didn't really factor that in.

The pricing calculation is even more complex than it seems. Cloud Run doesn't charge per request if you have "always allocated CPU" (a new feature). Also, instances can handle up to 1000 concurrent requests. So, we'd need to know processing time and work out how many instances would need to run concurrently. There's also committed usage discounts for Cloud Run.

Another factor to consider is operational cost - Cloud Run has a lower ops burden than K8s - particularly if you wanted to run multi-regional instances.

But you're right - at the sustained usage they have, the infrastructure cost of Cloud Run would almost certainly be worse than VMs in GKE, particularly if they could run on a decent percentage of preemptible instances.

Here's a study that looks at the efficacy of Ivermectin within 72 hours of a fever or a cough: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33495752/

And here is a study which looks at viral load since days of symptom onset, showing that at the 72 hour mark there is still plenty of Covid-19 in the body: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0869-5

I am not a medical expert, so there may be things to criticize about these studies. All I meant to point out is that people are looking into / have looked at the questions you raise. Doctors and nurses are pretty burnt out; I for one think that they'd be looking for prophylactic treatments.
Fair enough. Perhaps it's better to say that we seem to be in a local minimum right now.
fwiw when I bought it, it was on sale for ~$50 too. couldn't find a 2.5g switch that I liked in my price range, so went cheap as possible and will swap it when a 2.5g hits all my requirements :)
That is the most complicated description of it I have ever seen, but it is accurate.

In total there are ten ways to combine new advice with the existing set of methods, but the most commonly used are :before, :after, and :around. All the :before functions are called first, then the outermost :around function (which may or may not call the next :around function), then finally the :after functions.

Also it is common to define explicit hooks, which are just lists of functions that you will call at documented points. This is functionally identical to advice, except that it is also a good signal that the author intended you to do so.

The terminology is interesting too. Advice is deliberately modeled after the generic method combinators in Common Lisp. One of the authors of the Common Lisp spec, Gregor Kiczales, went on to define the term “Aspect–Oriented programming” and later developed AspectJ. Although the phrase appears nowhere in the documentation for Emacs Lisp, it is definitely appropriate!
It's considerably more complex than that. There's just a lot of stuff that gets compiled and rendered. No single part takes more than a few milliseconds, so I can bin it across many tasks.

Picture a canvas that I'm calculating then drawing tens of thousands of elements to before displaying it. Very binnable. Very hard to get right to a point that you can't "feel" the lag when working with the rest of the app.

I also explored web workers but it's currently more hassle than I want to be bothered with.

They said there's a contract in place and he'll return the money either way. In this case the artist produced something else than contracted to; they took it in good fun and apparently got pretty good publicity out of that, and they'll still get the money back.

Unless someone decides to turn on the lawsuit machine, everyone's a winner here.
also one thing to add, what if this is a gateway to censorship in order to hide information about certain elites legally? i am not advocating pizzagate conspiracy but this could be a way of silencing journalists doing their job and getting the news out oon one of the most powerful media distribution sites, people can build another site but when it comes to social change you want high impact.
To be clear, the study found that platforms banning topics succeeds in removing those topics from the platform - not necessarily from society as a whole. The study did not conclude that banning hateful communities off of reddit actually made those users less hateful or curbed the spread of hateful content online. If each of those banned users subsequently posted twice as much hateful content on a different platform, that still comports with the conclusions of that study.

I believe that common carrier applies to platforms, not just the infrastructure of wires. These platforms could not exist without the large privilege given to them I'm immunity to the illegal content they serve up.

The problem is that these platforms have it both ways. They can censor entire political parties, yet play dumb and cry immunity "we're just a platform" when there's literal illegal content that makes it's way to their public hosting.

Once they censor based on content, they should lose all until and be considered a publisher of that content. They're no longer a passthrough, they're now actively working to manipulate opinions
And at the end they could burn the artist and issue an NFT.

Yeah I agree with this in sentiment but the impacts to the rest of society are pretty hard to just let them go do that. Namely burnout at hospitals, regular health procedures being pushed back, people unnecessarily getting infected/dying, etc. There some serious community cost to these hold outs.
I find it a weird response to deny technology's role in making the problems we do have worse but simply saying "why don't we just fix all the previously unfixable problems in our society?"

Is that really helpful to the discussion ?

It's clear that COVID-19 is a bat virus isolated in or near laos that was then modified by EcoHealth Alliance and Peter Daszak such that it can infect humans at the WIV or the nearby Chinese equivalent to the CDC.

All of the investigations into the origin of COVID-19 have Daszak on their advisory boards, the conflict of interest is literally insane.

The idea that a lab leak isn't the most likely cause is just willful ignorance at this point.

> Haaning signed a contract with the Kunsten, promising to deliver the artwork and to return the $84,000. The artist now faces a deadline to give the museum its money back on Jan. 16, when the work exhibition closes. The museum says it's talking with him about that deadline; it also acknowledges that Haaning did produce a provocative piece of work.

There is no problem. He will return the money (materials) when the deadline comes. If he doesn't by then, then they'll have a problem.
