Of course it does. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and companies have to make money. One of the best things about Brave is that it's aggressively trying to build independent revenue streams and a footprint on the net. A company with solid, diverse, independent sources of revenue is much better positioned to keep making independent decisions.

From my outsider perspective it’s a mix of somber and celebration. I don’t think that comes from commercialization as they’ve done massive parades forever in Latin countries.
Those were under Chinese sphere since Tang dynasty. But not a formal sovereign subject. This relatively weak bound was fine at the old time, since the farther outsphere does not have the influence to encroach to the Chinese sphere.

In 19 & 20 century, things changed. Those strategic areas have to be under China's control for national security, which was under siege from Russia (the most expansionism nation on earth).

Like USSR inherited Russia's imperial territory, and India inherited great Britain's, CCP conveniently inherited Qing empire's as well (indirectly through KMT, the nine dashed line was a KMT invention...).
Yes - the quantification of the problem helps with comprehension but also opens the door for balancing trade offs in a manner we'd likely find distasteful. If the lead industry generated 60 billion of completely new money I'd still be in favor of outlawing it even if it was a net loss for the economy - since general quality of life is lowered by lead poisoning (especially since it has been linked strongly to anger issues).
> b) At some point you have to just put your foot down. Ban the sale leaded gas using planes after 1/1/2022. Grandfather in the old planes.

A measure like this may be reasonable.

But C/D totals the entire piston aircraft fleet-- $50B+ of capital equip, plus the whole infrastructure and industry around it-- for only a very moderate change in lead exposure. Best estimates I've seen is that this would lower the total population burden from lead by well under 5%.

Much more sane, IMO, to put in a progressively escalating tax on leaded aviation fuels that over time becomes steep. Then airplanes can gradually transition as overhauls become due, etc, as the pressure from operating costs mounts. Presumably those burning the most fuel would transition first, and an industry capable of retrofitting a few percent of the aircraft per year would spring up.

I'm not sure what the use of the standalone site is, however Microsoft has already integrated VSCode-in-a-browser into Github. If you go to a Github file and press . then that repository will open up in a VSCode instance in browser. It's quite useful to have it's search features rather than needing to clone down a project first.
When timezone for a city changes and you store time with timezone name/offset, you won't know. If you store time with location, you are one update of tzdata away from automatically solving the problem.
This "decent developer" thing sounds a bit gatekeepy - this solution isn't here to replace a fancy IDE on a MacBook Pro, it's here to help make coding easier to beginners or on shitty machines. I'd have loved to use this in high school/college instead of relying on the IDEs already installed in the lab.
Why is this compiler optimization beneficial with -ffinite-math-only and -fno-signed-integers?

It's unlikely to have been a direct cause given the (relatively) low levels of lead avgas generates, but it almost certainly has some effect.

The question is, given that it's so clearly a poison (maybe a top 10 poison) - why spray it into the air above residential neighborhood?

Lead impacts are around things like "anaemia, hypertension, renal impairment, immunotoxicity and toxicity to the reproductive organs. The neurological and behavioural effects of lead are believed to be irreversible."

Reality is measurable increases in lead concentrations in blood near airports is very small. But does look like it exists.

That name seems to remind me of Reddit for some reason.
Large airplanes/jets do not use leaded fuels. Only small piston planes. Even right under the takeoff path, aviation lead exposure would only be a moderate proportion of your total lead exposure.
I would say Microsoft needed an Android store and Amazon wanted another large customer base for theirs. I bet Google had no interest in obliging for either of them

Why not just buy out Moderna’s IP? Give them what they would make on this, $10 billion or $20 billion or whatever, and take the IP by eminent domain. Would still be a bargain.
You do not get banned using a mind map.
That wasn't part of the deal.
The fact that this is necessary, should invalidate any patent protection that Moderna (and Pfizer) have on the vaccine. Patents are supposed to work as a quid quo pro, you disclose the invention in exchange for a temporary monopoly. If it takes significant work to reverse engineer the invention, that quid quo pro hasn't been met, the patent should be considered invalid.

If Moderna and Pfizer want to protect the vaccine via trade secrets, from an intellectual property that's fine, but they shouldn't have any government defence against reverse engineering.

(Note: Talking in moral terms here, there is some legal support for the argument, at least in Canada (not sure about the US), but I wouldn't suggest that I could predict which way the case would go without a lot more information. For an example case along these lines from Canada, see: https://www.pharmainbrief.com/2017/08/fca-upholds-gilead-vic...)
Even if everything about remote workspaces were bad for professional developers, they will accept it if that's what companies are offering. Just like they accepted open offices, standup meetings, all-day video calls, agile, etc. And there's a lot to like for an employer: spend less on computers, reduce IT costs by locking down machines, get new employees productive sooner, make developers more interchangeable...

It's going to happen, and it doesn't matter much if employees like it or not.
That is a great idea. Thanks for the clarification.

There are other browsers except for Chrome. For example there are built-in browsers in smartphones that will never be updated.

It is wrong to rely on everyone using a latest version of a browser. Every site should support at least 5 years old browsers and a good site will be usable in 10 years old browser including builtin browser of Windows.

Sadly, in reality most sites are made so poorly that they don't open on 5-years old smartphone. It shows how low qualified became modern web developers.
VCs are still rational beings. They don't fund something just because someone is emotionally attached to the idea. If you get a huge number of people emotionally attached... then that's a different story.

I relate with the platitude, but who is actually working on a free/decentralized metaverse right now? This just seems like something hackers are completely uninterested in, so the corporations will fill the void.

That begs a question, though. What makes a primary sexual characteristic objectionable over a secondary one? I don't think anyone gets aroused (or disgusted) by either genitalia or breasts because there's a conscious awareness that they have something to do with biological reproduction.
I'm sorry, but linking this to genitalia doesn't make any sense.

Society prohibits the exposure of genitalia for both men and women. Although it's certainly up for debate whether that's reasonable or not, the treatment is equal. And at least genitalia perform a sexual function, so if the principle is that we shouldn't show organs with a primarily sexual function, for whatever reason, at least there's some sort of principle at work.

The issue of the nipple is completely separate and indefensible. The nipple has very similar appearance for both sexes; it performs no sexual function, and the one function it does have for women is something that has no obvious moral basis to prohibit. To wit: adults eating in public is fine, children eating in public is fine, but, for some reason, a baby eating in its natural form in public is not fine.

I agree with OP. It's nuts and we will likely see this view relaxed over time, though I have no idea how long of a time horizon.
Applications in awk? No.

It's still a popular tool in the data processing realm. It's crazy to think that bash scripts using pipes is still one of the most memory efficient ways of processing file-based data. Even tools like Apache Airflow just went ahead and incorporated bash for this exact reason.
Facebook says it allowed users to request info about how to be smuggled into US
For those who might remember. During the Presidency of George W Bush, there were calls on removing the patents of Bayer's anthrax drug Cipro during the anthrax scare:

German drugs company Bayer, which makes the anti-anthrax treatment Cipro, has backed moves by the US government to promote rival antibiotics for the disease.

The decision, which sent the company's shares down 2%, takes the heat off the US government, which has faced calls to over-ride Bayer's patent by permitting rival companies to make cheaper versions of Cipro.

Concern has grown about the availability of treatments, as fears of an anthrax epidemic sweep America. A spokeswoman for Bayer, which plans to step up its production to 200m tablets over the next three months - enough to treat 10-12m people - said the company supported the relabelling of the antibiotic doxycycline as a treatment for all forms of anthrax. "We support this because of the threat to public health," she said. "It has nothing to do with our patent."

I'd put my money on performance costs.

Personal remove lists basically turn each query from each person with such a list into a completely distinct query, which breaks caching on multiple levels. If a few people are using such a feature or if people sometimes add a couple -sites to a query, no big deal, but if enough people used it with basically unique site lists, the performance degradation would probably make a rollback of the feature inevitable.

Win32 basically can't die. Too much backwards compatibility issues.

If Windows kills Win32, there'd be pretty much no point to use Windows anymore. Silverlight / Win8 / UWP / whatever aren't as big a deal, because they never reached critical mass.

But... they'll never reach critical mass if the Windows team keeps killing them off. Developers will avoid XAML like the plague, fearing that their projects will go obsolete in a short time.
This is not a technical problem. If anything, what you would really need is a seminar or paid course to teach people how to interact with other humans instead of trying to rely on some app... Some people really don't know how to just talk to other people and express their feelings / figure out plans. No app is ever going to solve that.

Perhaps there's value in a business of "teaching humans how to human".
> Indeed, and it is in a way our public duty, too: according to the USC/2A, it is deemed necessary to the security of a free state.

But the reason for that is largely to prevent the temptation for allowing the creation of things like the LAPD in the first place, with the universal popular militia as the force relied on when public authority needs armed enforcement.

I think we generally agree but in practice those who end up writing the code end up being generalists. Therefore having good guidelines, tools, and trainings is invaluable even for them. Having a formal PhD in cryptography isn’t the only way to learn cryptography. That’s the beauty of science and engineering. The topics are available for many to learn independently of a formal degree. Similarly, a formal degree doesn’t mean you will actually do a good job either.

Gotcha, if I am reading this right the mechanism for the switch is quantum but the property is not. So no different in that regard than in semiconductors where the underlying behavior is due to quantum mechanics but the actual computing elements are functioning like analog non-linear elements.

Thanks!
I think it’s an ass move if you consider this as an one-time isolated incident but in a greater context of encouraging future entrepreneurs to invest in creating these kind of things, it’s a lot more complicated.
> Moderna will price their drug as high as they can to recoup losses incurred during the pandemic

That statement implies that they haven't been paid market price for their vaccine during the pandemic. Vaccines were not provided for free by any manufacturer. They were selling doses to governments as fast as they could be made making billions in the process. Pfizer is projecting $26 billion to $33.5 billion in COVID-19 vaccine revenue this year. Moderna is projecting $15 billion to $30 billion in 2022 COVID-19 vaccine revenue.

Well... this is a contested topic, I suppose.

I'm on the total opposite side of the debate. IMO, the IPO should never have been granted in the first place. Moderna and others had their risks covered, their opportunities guaranteed, exceptional liability limitations, expedited approval of their product, and a whole lot of other benefits. That's all appropriate, but treating this as private IP is not.

Meanwhile, I'm amazed to see international IP recognition hold. US governance is one hell of a stick, it seems.

Can't say I understand the role of the WHO, but if they give cover to some much needed IP dissonance, I'm pro.

"Weaponizing a company's goodwill" seems like a ludicrous, to me. If the will is good, who does this violate anything? The fact that IP concerns are holding up production is a crime. I mean that literally. I would convict.

I wouldn't be surprised if writing the DNA part of the or any vaccin was the easy part, and that the growing, delivery and packaging parts are the hard parts. These hard parts can be reused for other vaccins, so Moderna would likely want to reuse those.
and in particular, it appears this guy was actively talking about how to deceive the FAA and avoid attention, so yeah... fuck him, this isn't a random fall guy, this is a chief test pilot who was in on the plan.

again, by all means, this should not be the only prosecution here, and if they can flip him on the rest of his conspirators then he should get a reduced sentence, that's the standard RICO playbook. But prosecution is the lever you use to flip the ones you catch on the rest of their conspirators, and this guy very clearly was a willful participant in this criminal enterprise.

(obviously the jury gets to decide that, but this isn't a courtroom, and barring some gross miscarriage of justice, the quotes they're presenting sound pretty damning)

One of the most insane aspects of American culture to me as a foreigner is how okay violence is culturally, and how taboo even nudity (not even sex) is.

One of them celebrates death and destruction, the other one is about life and creation. Seems to me like the priorities are the wrong way round.
> Also, humanity just deciding one day that exploration is lame and unfair so they'll forever be against letting people leave the solar system was beyond annoying.

This is one aspect I liked of the books because it is an exploration into the difficulty of big decision-making, and how various human biases can result in poor decisions.

Numerous critical decisions were wrong throughout the series, - the battle plan of the first engagement vs the Trisolaris probe, choice of Luo Ji’s successor, banning light speed research, strategy for defending against a Dark Forest attack, etc.

This may partly derive from the world view of a Chinese author who is old enough to know about all of the CCP’s big decisions and failures over the years - Great Leap Forward (famine), Cultural Revolution (destroyed knowledge, science, and truth), Tiananmen Square, etc.

Another compelling aspect was that it faced humanity with an adversary that was not only technologically superior, but also superior at decision-making and strategy. Every decision the Trisolarans made was clearly calculated, and all possible outcomes clearly understood by them. They were only thwarted in the end by random dumb luck (the human broadcast ships and Trisolaris escort probes flying through a region of space that disabled the probes).

I found it all culturally and psychologically insightful.
> for being too good at getting people to talk to one another.

Not sure if you’ve been on FB in recent years, but people aren’t really talking to each other so much as they are spewing into a void. By far, the most common p2p interaction is arguing between strangers. Facebook is actually terrible at its initial premise of connecting people who know each other IRL, or those who might want to.
The point of BAT is not to get money for yourself, but to be able to tip creators. Individual ad viewers aren't terribly valuable (and Brave ads not being evil makes them less valuable), and only matter as a mass. You'll get a bit of pocket money, but as they aggregate on creators' end, that can compensate for losing revenue from evil ads getting blocked.

Controversial opinion.

I love Bitcoin the currency, but IMO a major barrier to adoption has been the community's reluctance to embrace "off chain" payment systems. Bitcoin's network is simply too slow and expensive for the majority of day to day transactions. And there are fundamental reasons for that which can't be fixed with a fork or an altcoin. It should be used as a settlement system, for moving between payment systems and for large transactions (e.g. Coinbase -> Hardware wallet, Hardware wallet -> Pay credit card bill, Coinbase <-> Binance, etc.).

Now what if Visa added BTC as a supported currency? That would be big for adoption. Consumers could pay their bills directly in BTC. Merchants could receive BTC from Visa. What if some entity (El Salvador?) issued BTC backed bank notes? BTC could be used just like cash. Basically, all criticism about the Bitcoin payment network would become moot. But the "on chain" system would still exist when you need it and the currency would still retain its important properties.

Unfortunately, the previous paragraph sounds like a nightmarish scenario to the average Bitcoiner.
