I do agree with the broader point, which is that there is something we could broadly call a "culture of free speech," and the Church was certainly not in favor of a culture of free speech.

However, on the specific point of what got Bruno in trouble with the Church, it was definitely with regard to his theological ideas. Debates on whether or not there were other worlds and beings living on other worlds were a popular subject among academics back in the Middle Ages. In fact St. Thomas Aquinas had taken the other position, namely that no other worlds existed, and the Church condemned his argument as heretical because they interpreted him to have said that God could not have created other worlds, which would place limits on God's power.

Again, none of this is to excuse the Church's persecution of Galileo, Bruno, or any of the other figures cited in the blog post you cite. Making a great intellectual discovery, scientific or otherwise, always requires some break with the conventional wisdom, and figures who are willing to do this in one area are likely to do it in other areas, too. Even if they happen to be wrong on many of these other fronts, they're following their train of logic to wherever it leads, and if you cut off those trains that produce socially inconvenient truths (think Newton's experiments with alchemy or his work on hermeneutics), you risk losing their ideas that turn out to be correct.
A successful (somewhere between millionaire and billionaire) entrepreneur has put his credibility on the line with those extremely astonishing claims. He put $1M of his own money into an institution to investigate early treatment for Covid, using existing drugs. Donors to CETF include Marc Benioff, Elon Musk Foundation & Vint Cerf, i.e. reputable tech entrepreneurs, https://www.treatearly.org/donors. The work of CETF was endorsed by staff at Johns Hopkins, Columbia, UCSF, Yale & others, https://www.treatearly.org/testimonials.

He provided a 30 page document referencing the analysis of other doctors, explaining the rationale for those estimates. He has further offered $1,000,000 dollars to anyone who can show that the estimate is off by a factor of 4X, i.e. making the task easier for the person challenging his extraordinary claims.

His claims are so far from anyone's expectations that it should be trivial to disprove, right? There's a bug bounty of $1M dollars available to anyone. Why is no one bothering to claim it?

Holy cow, that makes so much sense now. This is exactly what happened. I posted on whowantstoget hired in YC. I got 4 emails are 2 of them are wanting get data engineers.

Can you give me some pointers though? My response emails was pretty bad. I assumed -

1. Data engineering roles are mid level roles
2. Those roles require extensive hands on experience
3. There isn't junior data engineering role
4. They don't often any hire remotely
5. You can't reasonbly self teach yourself
6. It is one of the those roles where you NEED atleast CS bachelors.

I saw in DE subreddit those who are struggling to hire DEs should hire a python/sql dev than teach them DE on the job. But I am not sure how it would work out.
Enjoying the exchange as well!

>A "breakthrough infection" is still an infection, No? It seems that sophisticated semantics are being used in media to veil underlying weakness in the arguments and premises and move the goal post.

What is the per capita rate of infection between the unvaccinated population and the vaccinated population? I feel like you may be unaware that the while the vaccinated and unvaccinated population spread Covid at the same rate when they are infected, you seem to not understand that the vaccinated population gets infected at a far lower rate than the unvaccinated population.

>The side effects of people choosing not to get vaccinated is that they will get sicker because they choose not to get vaccinated, Yes?

>It is not my business if they self-risk getting sicker, or if they consume to much sugar, or don't exercise enough, or sky-dive.

Ah, ok. Maybe we need to make sure we have a baseline understanding of reality.

Do you, or do you not believe in the concept of negative externalities?
For example, if I walk into public and lay out a pile of radioactive waste do you believe that

A:This is not an acceptable action in society because it hurts others

B: It is acceptable because no one has been hurt yet and we cannot constrain someone's actions until they have damaged someone else in a provable manner

C:a third option I have not thought of, as I am open to new kinds of thinking.
I commented this in a different story, but I hate that the media (and now apparently HN) is conflating outright fraud with "fake it until you make it" culture. They are totally different, and the line between them is actually bright and clear, not some "gray, fuzzy" distinction some people propose.

That clear line is simply "are you telling a material lie about the present?" In Theranos' case, there were numerous instances when Holmes lied about the current capabilities of her company and its tech that she knew to be false. That is very different from making overly optimistic assessments about future capabilities.

Would love to hear any stories about a company that "faked it" when talking about their present day capabilities but we're able to "make it" before the fraud was discovered.

Interesting factoids (well, perhaps just to me, as I live about 10 minutes walk away) - Lincoln Cathedral (photo in the article) was for several hundred years the tallest building on Earth, and even now the tallest point (given that it's on a hill) looking east until you get to the Urals.
"We were in a part of London that was a dangerous area" - apparently that incident occurred in Notting Hill Gate; that's hardly a rough neighbourhood. Parts of Notting Hill are definitely seedy, but I wouldn't be nervous waiting for a bus there at night.

Kirsch is advocating for the identification of high-risk groups and screening of recipients, not a blanket criticism of vaccines for all people.

We are living in the era of sophisticated micro-targeting of groups via advertising profiles and machine learning. Why are our online narratives degenerating into dualistic debates, as if we can only count to two? We have the technology to perform granular, data-driven risk assessment across a wide range of variables.

At a minimum, we can fund forensic investigations of the reports in VAERS, collecting whatever data is needed to trace the root cause of each injury, removing every report that is not credible. Where necessary, we can identify the need for additional data collection, e.g. baseline testing of high-risk individuals before vaccination, for comparison to post-vaccination tests. Standard scientific analysis.

There are also non-public reporting systems (e.g. HMOs) for vaccine adverse events. That additional data is available to CDC.
Cathedrals are fascinating storehouses of religious and general historical knowledge. If you're ever in the vicinity of a British cathedral, taking a decent guided tour is well worth the time, as the building will likely have gone through around a thousand years of slow (or dramatic) change, intimately linked to the history of the local area.

In Hereford, for instance, the font has a lockable cover to stop locals stealing the holy water to make magic potions, the west end collapsed and was rebuilt, and the town's crest is surrounded by saltires, as the city endured a siege by an army of Scots which was finally broken by the arrival of the king.

Meanwhile St. Alban's was built from stone reclaimed from Roman buildings at the nearby site of Verulamium.
Beautifully written - I don't necessarily mean the content, but the quality of writing. Have you tried writing more serious things (I mean more than blog posts)?
I think no one really knows. My thought is given the number of known serious autoimmune disorders that are possibly triggered by viral infections, wouldn't be a stretch that there are milder ones that aren't easily observable. A lot of brain <--> hormonal stuff is poorly understood.
I've studied in a city with the tallest (christian) church tower (Ulm [0]). I regularily went up the tower, there was a place where you could sit and read and contemplate. I loved it. And because there were a lot of steps, not too many people went there.

The most impressive inside of a church to me was Sagrada Família which looks like being in a forrest (or in some Elven structure from Tolkien).

We link it to valuable things by constructs like contracts. This way money acts like a thing of value. For most practical purposes money is more useful than specific physical things because usually you can always convert money into anything you need at the time and place you need it. Money loses its practical value if you cannot convert it anymore.

I once had to develop a full application with really hard problem solving in a really complex domain that I had hard time to understand. This was for a big national phone operator.

We delivered it under a lot of pressure from the sales team (I was in a shitty company, with few employees) and the contract was in multiple millions euros. That was literally one of our 2 or 3 customer.

We delivered. One day we eventually get paid (our customer was well known in the industry to pay only when they are forced to - yeah, shitty customer too).

The project is finished, customer is happy with what we demoed and delivered.

Then maybe a year later, we decided to add a feature to this product to be able to sell it to another client. I got pull and build this damn thing. Nothing worked. Like, nothing. The login form was broken.

Then I remember. A full year and not a single support ticket. The company owner « joking » about how our sales team used alcohol, parties and embarrassing photos to make their customer buy our software. The insane amount of pressure we had to deliver this technically hard project.

I left this company the day this popped in my head.

That isn't what I was mentioning, I don't want to write C ABIs to use Rust libraries.

Those stability practices is what allows me to use Qt, VCL, MFC, .... without rebuilding the world every time I need to start something new with them.

It also allows several companies to sell C and C++ libraries, that wouldn't have done otherwise.
I’d speculate CFs secret sauce here is working their asses off to negotiate peering arrangements globally, and avoiding paying transit. Then passing on the savings.

It's also beautiful. It's pretty interesting to how it's been modified from a church to a mosque, too. Typically mosques are oriented so that when you pray towards Mecca, you're also naturally oriented towards the back of the building. Since Hagia Sophia was originally a church, it's not quite oriented towards Mecca. The carpet is rotated a few degrees clockwise, so you pray a few degrees off of the natural orientation of the architecture. I had the opportunity to visit about a month ago => https://www.instagram.com/p/CTY85M-IhBu/.

Many of the mosques in Turkey are just gorgeous. If you're in Turkey at some point, a day trip from Istanbul to see 4 biggest mosques in Edirne is very much worth it.
I be also had a job early in my career where I was basically allowed to work on anything that interests me and 20 years later I’m still relying on that experience.

We’re using MQTT to have different sensors publish their measurements and different user groups can subscribe to the relevant ones. I think it’s a great way to separate stuff from each other or send meaningful data away together.

Creating money doesn't create more resource, it just dilutes the medium of exchange and changes the vector of the capital allocation. Now somebody with newly created money gets more say in the allocation of scarce resources to hopefully create more resources and product. The creation of money itself actually hurts the system where those who had previously been successful in creating wealth through performance of capital allocation or labour and now partially disenfranchised of the full right they had earned to continue this trend.

I believe ES has it’s uses in discreet systems doing their thing for you.

For me ES makes perfect sense in systems handing a workflow for you. Products like Zeebe[1] and Ubers Temporal[2] comes to mind.

These systems basically becomes your business transaction log and as such ES is just a great fit.
(I have no idea whether ES is used in temporal though… never looked at the code)

If your claim is "handle these people with carebear gloves or they are gonna domestic terrorism you", then I ask you to consider why that logic would not work in reverse. If you have an entire group of people saying "let me spread this virus amongst your people and if you even try to say I am wrong, I will terrorize your people" what do you think the response from any rational group is?

While you haven't said it directly as you are, in my opinion, a coward. I see how you are implying that society should let the crazy do as they like or they will attack anyone who disagrees.

You should consider how well that went for the Confederate States of America when they decided their gumption could dominate industrial might and innovation.

Good luck sir, Mother Nature has a surprise in store for those who think they can outfeel logistics. Say hi your boog bois too
I was a Bowie fan in the 70s and very excited about his work with Robert Fripp (for example, the e-bow line in Heroes). Then a musician friend introduced me to Fripp and Belew's King Crimson. The opening track, Elephant Talk, of this album (Discipline) is eye-opening.
Yea, we were a consumer electronics company that mostly was subcontracted out to make components or complete hardware. I remember working on products for Denon, Crestron, Roku, Samsung, LG, Direct TV, Microsoft, HP, Nintendo, Sony and Audiovox (and their subsidiaries--Monster etc), and in Europe, One For All brand. It was honestly pretty exciting.

Regarding web services, like I said, we had a library of these waveforms and that was our cash cow-- you got the chips for only a few cents over cost. You got the API that operated them for free, but access to out database cost a fair bit.
“Discipline” is one of those albums that totally changed the way I thought about music.

When I was a kid I was really into classic prog rock (i.e. Yes, Genesis, ELP, etc.) and was mesmerized by Bill Bruford’s playing and technique on “Close to the Edge”, which led me to this incarnation of King Crimson.

One song in particular that really stuck out to me was “Thela Hun Ginjeet”, which includes a recording of Adrian Belew recounting an experience being heckled on the street, but until I read the Wikipedia page for the album I had no idea it was secretly recorded by Fripp and wasn’t scripted (including the maniacal laugh at the end). It blew my mind that they were able to create this soundscape that turned a recording of a totally sane Belew into what I thought was a paranoid schizophrenic.

Each song on the album stands on its own, and it’s probably my favorite in King Crimson’s discography.
Wasn't my experience in Chicago. I was robbed (of my phone, at $12) and had my phone back within 15 minutes, including the time it took to call the police.
In order to understand how the architecture of middle ages and modern intertwined between Christian and Muslim worlds, please check this excellent video [1].

It's never ceased to amaze me by the fact that now most of the mosques now look more like Christian's Hagia Sophia and churches now looks more like Muslim Spanish Moors' Mezquita.

Also it's often an oblivious fact that Norman also conquered Sicily (after Muslim's cosmopolitan Emirate of Sicily) and obviously they had learnt a lot from the Islamic architecture that they brought and implemented the concepts to Britain and other parts of Europe [2].

These links contradict my assertion that there is "no indication of widespread heart or lung damage from the vast majority of COVID cases"?

My statement is not incorrect. Your links show no such thing.

The vast majority of covid cases have very mild acute symptoms, so the vast majority of the reports of chest pains and "abnormal breathing" months after the infection, that are attributed to "long COVID", could not possibly be due to heart or lung damage from COVID. That kind of pervasive damage would show up in the acute symptoms and in imaging scans and we would know about it.

COVID is not some magical disease. The long term complications emanate from the damage during infection, with severe infections more likely to have long term complications. Mild infections are very unlikely to have long term complications except in so far as the collective hysteria, which is confirmed by polls, and that vastly over-estimates the threat of COVID and leads to extreme over reactions like two week total isolation prescribed for all cases, or all in person classes being cancelled in universities that have a few mild cases, has psychosomatic effects.
The question is whether it’s not practical because it hasn’t received the three decades of engineering that relational databases have, or because it’s broken in theory.

I use my E6-B flight computer [1] every time I fly. Is it a nomogram or a slide rule? I think it is both! It is such an amazing useful calculator. At the flight school I went to, it was common for students who got their instrument rating to buy a nice GPS. I got a nice metal E6-B as my plastic one was showing some wear and tear. There is something really cool about instrument flying with a E6-B, and navigating using VOR/DME/TACAN and dialing in the ILS and getting on the glide slope.

I remember seeing them in Edinburgh in the 70s. People were arriving late and chatting. Robert Fripp folded his arms and stood their silently for several minutes, looking at the audience as if they were vermin. Everyone went quiet and looked around at each other in embarrassment. Then, once you could have heard a pin drop, they started playing. Great.

You could see some amazing bands back then - I saw Beefheart three times.
Surely the hiring issue is a market inefficiency, then, no? There's got to be plenty of engineers out there, but maybe not for typical startup cash/equity structures.

Tragedy of the commons. The expectation of freedom was that people will, in their pursuit of happiness, look out for their fellow citizen by being free in the most socially beneficial way feasible. Unfortunately because we aren’t a high-trust society anymore, that expectation is broken. With this basic level of responsibility violated, so too will evaporate the freedom.

It's not WireGuard's job to do user management or end-user authentication; it's deliberately designed to make that stuff easy to layer on top. You're unlikely to get much traction with the WireGuard project directly, but not unlikely to get it from a project like this (or, for that matter, from Tailscale, which does 2FA authentication for WireGuard by connecting to IdPs).
