I love these little in-jokes.
I agree. I intentionally don't hold stablecoins. As I mentioned I'd rather hold actual cash. One nice thing about stablecoins is they can be transferred around the world 24/7, and there are various high APRs for lending out stablecoins (not without risk, of course, there's nothing like FDIC insurance on those). Anyway, I'm surprised how much trust the crypto community puts in Tether.
> What's the difference between "independent account manager" and "local government" in this case? Moreover, what can either party do to influence the police's behavior? Does having "evil pipeline co." on the check make the police chief more willing to beat up protesters or something?

Local government is partly elected, and beholden to its citizens. The independent account manager is neither. Furthermore, the article states that the company pays for overtime and such, so yes, they're directly paying to those more willing spend time on the matter, and can directly incentivise them.
CDC has tainted epidemiological data by issuing guidance to exempt vaccinated people from testing unless symptomatic. Vaccinated asymptomatic cases were simply not counted for a period of time ending in late June 2021. I can't find the date when they issued the faulty guidance for a precise time interval, but any study comparing vaccinated / unvaccinated cases relying on US epidemiological data including May/June 2021 must sadly be considered tainted.

Well, I'm jealous of you Americans being allowed graphing calculators. As someone who went to Polish shools in the same period of time, only basic calculators were allowed(addition/multiplication/subtraction/division and nothing else).

> Also, as an aside that’s not really germane to the argument, it’s possible (and IMO preferable) to write code without using an IDE. It forces you to write code that’s broken up into contexts small enough to fit in human working memory

No, complex programs by definition don’t fit into human working memory. Even with best practices, FP, whatever, function composition alone can’t always elevate the complexity to the requirement’s level — so in the end you will end up with larger chunks of code for which you will have to use code navigation features - for which I personally prefer an IDE, but that is subjective.
Almost the exact same situation for me except it was the E61. I remember playing DOOM on it for the first time and being quite impressed.

It's things like that that makes OCaml what it is. It supports OO even if you don't use it all the time, it supports imperative constructs. I remember reading in "Le langage Caml", by Xavier Leroy, that you should use an imperative loop over recursion if the loop is simple, and keep recursion for complex use cases, where it makes sense. That's not something you often hear from functional programmers, probably because the ones we hear are more obsessed with purity than practicality. But it's a great way to show OCaml's values.
Keep your backup tapes in a safe on the other side of the pond, as they say.
Allow me introduce operator overloading, where I have suddenly defined a ++ operator on my god object that contains a 50MB pool. This operator increments a single field in it, and I really need it because I do it so often.

++godobject will simply increment that value.

godobject++ will make a copy of that object, returning it to you along with allocating another 50MB pool, purely to increment the value.
Setting Goals
Terraform (and kubernetes) itself aren't a lowest common denominator, however I believe the comment alludes to an approach where you try to abstract cloud features. This can (kind of) reasonably be done with terraform and kubernetes and avoiding vendor specific services such as various ML services, DynamoDB, etc.

However, you can use terraform just fine while still leveraging vendor specific services that actually offer added value, like DynamoDB or Lambda. Cloudformation however doesn't really offer that much added value (if any) over terraform, so using terraform isn't an LCD approach perse.
Very well said. Facebook preys on people, and some people (or most people?) aren't equipped to deal with it, especially children.

Facebook isn't exactly evil; as you say, it doesn't care about good or evil, which probably makes it worse.
You aren't clear about things, but are you really saying can't begin to consider exceptions to the rule? If so, there's not much more to say because we aren't connecting at all. Chance of death is not a precise nor often-calculated figure. Whatever you were talking about, you likely overstated it by 5-10 times. You could look at IFR, mortality rate, or excess deaths, but none tell the full story when you consider the chaos and disruption of 2020.

To list a few other things: We don't have reliable numbers for adverse effects, so clinical trials will have to be done. It was just one example, but it was about teenage boys that you have the numbers backwards for if you account for age of an individual. The immune response is cited as a major factor that leads to more serious and fatal cases of COVID, so I am not sure why you are treating that as an important distinction with the vaccine.

When the death count of children reached 300, there was a mainstream MD that questioned why researchers had, thus far, failed to contact the attending physicians to find out the circumstances of these unusual deaths. That should have been pretty important, but it wasn't. England may have dug a bit deeper to verify that 25 children had died from COVID in their country. If teenage boys are the highest risk group for myocarditis as a side effect, and their risk of death is infinitesimal, what kind of math are you offering? Teenage boys and young men generally were not being warned about the relative risk to themselves. That's seems like a problem. I guess heart damage could be considered _no big deal_, but it's substantial and much more visible than often-exaggerated long COVID, at least for the young and healthy. Maybe you prefer to speak about society at large, but there's not an automatic justification for that. If that's what we are actually doing, it should be acknowledged that we are asking children to make sacrifices for adults because I think many people see that as backwards, unethical, and completely unacceptable.

Herd immunity is not how you summarize any strategy, but it's kind of important just like food, money, and a functioning society. Spoiler Alert: We did technically pursue focused protection for the wealthy in wealthy countries. That's one hell of a game plan. If the vaccine worked as advertised, we would be rounding the corner on herd immunity. We are not, and that may be the least of what's gone wrong. Lastly, Bill Maher exposed his fellow liberals for getting the numbers on COVID wildly wrong, and this is consistent in survey data. The liberal media failed to inform when it's much more profitable to fearmonger and create clickbait with junk science. You aren't doing much better in my opinion, and it's probably not your grasp of stats but your bias that is the problem.
They're allowed, but it is courteous of them to refrain.

Indeed, carbon price alone cannot lead us to a net-zero world. It is only a part of the solution – a considerably big part. Yet, the inaction from the 79% of the world with no mandatory carbon pricing puts a question on how willing we really are to solve the problem.

It turns out people don't want it -- none of them ever got more than a miniscule fraction of the market for boring workloads that 90% of companies are using IaaS for. People want knobs & levers.

I agree that things can get complicated when taking into consideration multiple countries. But I think this is the cost of doing business and caring about users. If you do business in multiple countries then that is the cost to be paid.

I also think that the default should be that users should be able to delete their accounts and companies should provide evidence why they have that button disabled or removed.

So in case of review the rule maybe could be: if the user is creating an account in your app, then. the user should have the option to delete their account from the app, unless evidence is provided why the account cannot be deleted because of legal reasons.

> How much time must pass without long term effects materializing before unvaccinated people admit that the vaccinated had a point?

Rhetorical question, but:

Given what we know about long term effects of vaccination, about 3-4 months without "long term effects".

Needless to say, this mark has been passed more than once - in trials in 2020, and then again in mass vaccination programs in 2021.

> Apple had a choice, and chose profits over privacy by spying for the CCP with it's software

Apple had a choice, and those chose to be able to operate in Chinese markets (including for manufacturing) over blatantly breaking Chinese law.

Apple's fight with the FBI over the San Bernardino shooter phone instance was made possible by them having legal recourse in the US to do so. Remember that Apple is only a corporation because the government allows them to be one.
First of all, I thank you very much for your professional reply.

Perhaps the biggest misconception about the Bitcoin network is that miners think they can change the rules.

Satoshi's designed the Bitcoin protocol to be immutable.

Therefore, miners only follow the rules according to their own interests. And it's the police who verify if other miners or users are breaking the rules.

If they can't change the rules, there's no profit for some miners to collude. They can try to get in the way with money, but to no avail.

In order to scale to a large scale, it is natural to specialize. ISPs are few in the world, but We are not saying they are centralized.

This is because it only serves its role according to the Internet protocol.

This is not an obsession with Satoshi. Since we are using what Satoshi made, we check whether it works by itself.

Satoshi fixed the protocol, and I think he is right if scaling were made from the fixed rules.

And the real expansion is taking place.
Likely the encryption key (per user) should be split between central and distributed (device) system. That way the operator can remove any identifiable user from the chain. Leaks of the central system won't have an immediate effect, either. Still quite a bizarre case.

I agree with the sentiment of this article. The end-game of convenience and optimization is a soulless life with limited randomness and limited serendipity. There's also an element of limited choice or freedom, as the consolidation and centralization needed to make a profit will squeeze out smaller players. The path to get there requires that enormous amounts of capital and talent get expended on what ultimately amounts to decadence. I also worry about the broader impacts. For example, many of these services will remain low-profit businesses at best, and an economy built on vaporware valuations and convenience industries feels like a house of cards. And since all this convenience comes at the expense of getting outside and mingling with other humans, is that really a healthy lifestyle from a mental standpoint? Personally my motivation to push back on all this is less about the impact on workers - the long-term impact on the customers themselves is bad enough.

They are paid for overtime by the company directly, so yeah. Each extra arrest is more time spent on documentation, interrogation, etc., which means more money past a certain threshold.

A very good summary and it opened my eyes to a lot of aspects I wasn't really thinking about before. It didn't convince me some of the tradeoffs were worth it, but it did a good job of adding nuance to my own gut feelings about privacy vs advertising ;)

But one small nitpick: this bit about Facebook not knowing much about individuals individually:

> the nature of computers and the Internet is the spewing of data everywhere, and it is only in aggregate, in a data factory, than any insight from this collection of vectors can be derived, and only then in the context of a larger application like targeted advertising conducted at massive scale. It is exceedingly unlikely that Facebook could even make the data about any one individual readable by a human,

This is patently untrue, as anyone who does the 'download everything Facebook knows about me' thingy can confirm. (Likewise for the other big collectors. I downloaded my data from Google for kicks and even though I'd kinda expected it to surprise me, it still surprised me.)

Ah yes, I was an OS/2 evangelist for years, trying to get all my coworkers and friends to switch to it after 2.1 came out, I guess around 1992-1993ish.

We used OS/2 almost exclusively at the civil engineering firm I worked for at the time, building computer simulations of traffic flow and transit ridership models for cities around the U.S.; our clients all had regular PCs on their desktops and we needed to run clean 32-bit software since the simulations required a flat memory memory model. Programming for OS/2 (using Fortran, lol) was such a revelation back then. It was my first job out of college and I was so naive and enamored with this amazing tech and couldn't understand why everyone around me was using these clunky and crash-prone OSes from Microsoft!

OS/2 with its new UI and great compilers was a dream. And no one ever mentions how you could make the window for each individual folder have a different background color! I spent a lot of time playing with this instead of writing code :-)

I can't even recall how many weekends I spent at friend's houses trying to get display drivers and printer drivers to work on friend's home computers. It was one of my first real tech disillusionments.

Of course we all know how it worked out in the end: by late 1994 this weird thing linux (slackware I think?) captured my attention, and in 1995 we could compile 32-bit programs at work for our clients that targeted Windows 95.

Together those two things meant the end of OS/2 for me, and like so many others I didn't much think about it ever again.
