It was a reasonable question based on the linked article. Fusion announcements (like new battery chemistries) are almost worthless on their own - you have to read more about the company, what stage they're at, what the tech actually is etc.
Pharma companies in the US spend about twice as much on advertising as they do on R&D [1]. Recent data compiled by the House Oversight Committee shows the biggest pharma companies spent $56 billion more on stock buybacks and dividends than they did on R&D over the past five years [2]. Very little of the ridiculous prices that US citizens pay for medicine (directly or via insurance) actually goes towards R&D.

Yeah, I have hilariously expensive convenience shop at ground floor of my apartment block. As bonus quality of products is low.

Twice the distance, 20m away there is another overpriced convenience shop but with a better quality.

I shop in supermarket about 250m away on ground floor of another apartment block that has quite good prices, good enough that it is not worth time and other costs to shop further away for many products.

I've written quick and dirty GUIs in Racket on the Raspberry Pi 4 and 3. I've found the 1gb memory on the PI3 with an editor open, Raspbian running, and a pdf, I have about 300mb free for another app. It can be a little tight with a 150-175mb Gui written in Racket, but on a 2gb PI4 the extra breathing room helps a lot.

There's still anti-systemd people out there? Why?
That's not really a solution to the problem because the attacker might change the contents of the package instead of adding `postinstall` or `preinstall` hooks.

The more realistic solution would be teams of volunteers that are auditing the packages and check the differences between specific versions of those. This doesn't block all possible infected packages, but most of them, which is better than what we have now. Everything is based on trust so you can't stop this, but maybe prevent it.
> A week or two ago The Irish Times (IT) was agog at Sally Rooney's decision not to allow her newest book to be published in Hebrew.

Sorry to be pedantic, but this was not Sally Rooney's decision. As part of the BDS movement, she did not want to patronize an Israeli company that would be handling the translation. Rooney has stated that she has no objection to the novel being translated into Hebrew.

I'm in a renting situation where my landlord demands rent land in their account on the first of the month. Receiving rent on the 26th (i.e. 5 days early, not 26 days late) was deemed "too confusing" for them.

I ran into this at my last place. I'm the sort of person who likes to pay things ahead so I don't have to think or worry about them. I was used to paying my rent ahead and quarterly.

When I moved to the new place (in a western state), the apartment company insisted that rent be paid exactly on the 1st, and paid online.

Not only did it not want the rent early, it was not possible to pay early, as the company's online system would show a zero balance, and would not show a payment mechanism.

Even worse — I couldn't pay a bunch up front. It would only allow payments for the exact amount due for that month.

Payment was also accepted by check. But only in person, and with a $75 "processing" fee.

And this wasn't some rinky-dink neighborhood landlord. It was a national apartment company with over 20,000 units in a dozen states.

Interestingly, my new apartment has the same online system as the old one, but allows me to pay however much I want as often as I want. (As long as it's not late, duh.) So it wasn't a technical limitation, it was management's policy.
I don't have time for this extropian nonsense.

Help! Can someone explain this one to me, just so I can use it with some context.

Even they have their limit. I remember banks going crazy with cash back for opening credit cards, and then 6 years ago, Chase released Sapphire Reserve which basically gave people $1,500 to $2,000 upfront, and then after that I feel the churning scene significantly died down since Chase ended up taking huge losses for that. My wife and I basically got $3k or $4k I think for taking a few minutes to fill out a credit card application.

I imagine all the other banks were not impressed, and ever since then, you can get a few hundred dollars here and there but nothing like the initial Sapphire Reserve promotion came out since.
Most pages have at least a http->https redirect, many contain a lot of old links to http content.

Usually it's error pages that really drive the large redirect chains. They often have a vibe of like some forgotten stopgap put in place to help with some migration to a version of the site that is no longer in existence.

Of course you don't know it's an error page until you reach the end of the redirect chain.
> Less than two years from lab to clinic is highly unusual. If approved, I believe this would be the fastest lab-to-approval for a small molecule drug in the history of the FDA.

It's sad that we all know people are going to use this fact to reject taking this medication while still chugging horse paste.
No, they typically have beta users and are already iterating on the product.

Be mindful that founders and their attitude usually count more than the initial idea to investors. Pretty much every product fails on first touch with real customers.

You've been quite snarky and/or arrogant here and that is a red flag.
This is why some embedded systems don't do malloc (IIRC...been a while since I've read much about those).
That seems a bit revisionist. To my knowledge, Donald Trump was always a vocal supporter of the Covid vaccine. Kamala Harris and Joe Biden were the ones sowing doubt about it - right up until they won the election. Harris, in particular, described Trump as irresponsible for advocating for Project Warpspeed and suggesting that people should take a Covid vaccine before it had gone through the full approval process.

I think you may be getting their personal stances confused with the partisan arguments about vaccine mandates that have evolved in the year since.
OK, I was unaware that USA really had such runaway crime problems. I thought that it is an exaggeration. (and still suspect this)
It's sad to see people reject this suggestion based on such weak grounds. "It won't stop all attacks" is true, but if it raises the costs of attacks, and protects more people that it harms, then it is worthwhile. Similarly, "It's a backwards incompatible change" is not a sufficient argument, as changes like that are made all the time (of course requiring a major version bump).

To address the resistance, I would propose a compromise, namely that install scripts won't be run by default unless the publishing account is secured by 2FA, or the previous version of the package also included an install script. That should greatly reduce the attack surface, and pave the way towards requiring 2FA for all packages with install scripts as a later step.
Sounds really interesting. I'm kinda scared to use npm right now to be honest. What dangers may be hidden deep in the dependency trees? But is a review of every update then done, because rc used to be a legit package?
I'd like this to work, but it seems like it relies on packages being statically "good" or "bad" - what happens if a package is legitimately well trusted but then the main dev gets backdoored and a bit of extra code is injected?
> An argument based on human history and the progress of human rights?

This is not what I meant and you know it.

> Precisely the same argument used time and time again against the thought leaders of human rights.

This is utter bullshit and derailment. People who spread misinformation about covid are wrong. There are scientific facts which prove them wrong. The fact that they repeat something against those facts doesn't make them heroes because there was Copernicus who was also "against something". Copernicus had the facts side behind him. Those guys you try to advertise here are the church which was against him because they had THE FEELING that he was wrong and no scientific facts which would support them.
> And nobody seems to be losing except ad buyers (monetarily) and end users (via a shittier web experience)

Aa well as end users via subsidizing the ad spending for the ad buyers. Who you think pays for the ads in the end? It's us, the consumers.
This is like the third one this week right?

I know people keep saying about post-install should be opt out but then malware will just wait for first run instead.

How about an option to refuse to install any packages that have been published in the past week/2 weeks? That way hopefully malware like this would have been spotted before you end up running it locally.
Vaccine mandates aren’t new, what’s new is the hyper targeting of propaganda meant to incite division.
anyone can retire anytime, but it's the financial part that makes the call. I wonder how much is enough to retire at early 50s: typical family still have kids attending college, medicare is not kicked in,etc.

unless I am going to make a fortune somehow, I see no way for me to retire in early 50s, but if I win a lottery, I probably will retire.
That raises a question though: In your opinion, where/in what subjects would betting against you not be a poor decision?

I would post more, but I'm sure that you're capable of using Google.

150m pushed into extreme poverty? If you mean the US, your facts are wrong. And then you pivot to the "death toll of brutal restrictions"? What is this nonsense?

You've been muffled - Oh wow, wearing a mask is just torture.

You've been silenced - Hmm, not sure what this nonsense is about.

Tested - Yup. As part of an ongoing pandemic, yup. If you can't live in civil society and agree to give up some small freedoms, buy land in Alaska and live in a cabin.

"regularily injected" - A) the drug wasn't experimental, and B) it was primarily two doses. That's not regularly...

"preferably locked up for eternity" - wow, that's exactly what my daughter said when I grounded her last week.

Do you realize how ridiculous this sounds to people? How absolutely childish and selfish? This is why a huge portion of the US is just fed up with anti-vaxxers.
Some may, but I doubt most will for the same reason a bunch of 32-bit games were never fixed for macOS even though there was like a decade of opportunity.

I'm surprised the article didn't say if Denuvo had a fix yet. It also sounds like Microsoft may implement a fix in Windows. That sounds like the most likely solution if Intel or the BIOS couldn't address it.

It also lives on in the work of BeOS engineers who infiltrated Apple: Tracker -> Finder, BeFS -> Matador, Spotlight, MediaKit -> Final Cut Pro, various media libraries and more. Possibly a lot of the C++ work we did at Apple after leaving Be has been purged, but some still lives!!!
The US has barely any road racing scene; the closest we have is just Criterium racing. The biggest road races in the world happen in Europe and are won by Europeans. Barely any US companies even sponsor teams at the secondary level let alone primary. Trek is the only one I can think of off the top of my head and they split it with Segafredo.

But the other thing is what kinds of bikes you see in the US. By far what you see the most of in NYC is shitty Huffys that cost maybe $150 new, and then Arrow e-bikes that food delivery drivers use.
Not that different from gitlab? There are some (enough) Enterprise needs that MS is unable or uninterested to do.

Usually stuff like on-premise( at lower price than what MS) or significant customization or some features/extensibility.

At MS scale these are not viable things to do, but smaller companies don't have the same concerns.

Also getting bought by MS or another large player is always an option.
Yeah, it's good for these kinds of discussions when it's a universal requirement, or when the white paper concerns will actually be addressed before confirming a design. I do get suspicious when it comes up for the first time when it's something someone doesn't want to hear, or when the discussion continues on like it's obviously untrue in the meantime.
You're very close, but I think "browser makers" makes it sound like it was more than one. Microsoft Internet Explorer defaulted it to on. Every other browser was in agreement that it would only get advertising industry buy-in if it was defaulted to off.

I think Microsoft's default-on stance was likely intentional sabotage - Google operates a big ad network and would have to deal with a lot of the fall-out.

That's not really the solution for this problem, though, which is very specifically when a project maintainer's account gets compromised, so then the bad guys publish a new malicious version of that library that gets picked up by anyone using non-pinned NPM versions (i.e. most everyone).

There are a couple more straightforward ways to do this:

1. Require 2FA, ideally hardware key 2FA, for anyone publishing a package with any sizable following.

2. Make running of preinstall/install scripts opt-in.

3. Make the semantic versioning syntax optionally more restrictive. If I specify I want version ^2.2.1, I'd like to be able to specify that I DON'T want to pull 2.2.2 the moment it becomes available, but perhaps want some amount of latency before pulling that.
At least google's scraping does result in your website being discoverable by users. So you get something out of it. That's not to say that sometimes Google is missing or stealing data they scrape. But at least there is some benefit. Many other scrapers are merely taking the data to compete.
"This is such a ridiculous argument, IMO."

?

You are the head of strategy presenting to Big Pharma CEO.

You say 'Here are 5 new drugs which have potential for great impact, each will cost a billion. 4 of them are vaccines, which will be very inexpensive, and nobody will buy and we will lose money. One of them is a fairly expensive cancer treatment. Which one do you want to focus on boss?'

Supply/Demand and just Basic Economics generally work their way into the system.

Some drugs are much more profitable than others, many of them are not going to be profitable, and there's less incentive to work on them. Vaccines in particular.

It's a big part of the equation we have to deal with.
And it's also becoming the most lucrative niche for the insurers ( what i heard ~a year ago)

Building API is 5 times easier than building routes for your public webpages, which is basically an 'API' as well.
So we shouldn't introduce any new drugs unless it's been tested for more than 10 years? Seems like a great way to put a complete halt on drug development and have more people die / suffer from preventable diseases.
In all the years since it was rolled out, I’ve seen hundreds of security warnings but absolutely none was remotely close to a real security issue.
It's not plausible that even fusion power plants would make energy 'basically free'.

1) Fusion plants still require site infrastructure, power conversion technology, waste heat removal, and (though not for this particular concept) steam generators (or other fluid cycle generators). These have significant capital costs but finite lifetimes. You're right that the variable cost of energy is pretty low, probably comparable to current fission plants, but that's still more expensive than the variable cost of electricity from solar and wind.

2) The price of electrical transmission and distribution starts to become important (I forget what the typical cost of that today is, but it's a few cents/kWh.) This doesn't matter if you can put a small power plant at your local industrial park though.

3) There's a big difference between $0.05/kWh, $0.02/kWh, $0.01/kWh, and $0.005/kWh, and then a huge difference to 'true zero'. This is because there's probably lots of industrial processes that we might like to do if electricity and heat were cheaper than it is today, each becoming reasonable at a certain price. There could be a large market at each price floor 'step'.

4) Yeah, the fuel is abundant, which is good, but fuel costs are not significant drivers of the cost of fission.

While not free, I'd like to think that fusion will help make a world with energy much cheaper than the world without fusion.
Hmmm.... so you're arguing that it doesn't take years of time and billions of dollars to bring a drug to market?

Then why aren't you (or, at least, someone) out there developing new drugs on the cheap to undercut "Big Pharma"? Your opportunity awaits, dude.
I understand, and the browsers don't understand JSX is a fair point.

I'm only illustrating that the difference between JSX and JS for React is about syntax and not the core distinction of why React feels easier to work with compared to angular/vue/svelte etc which all invent their own mini languages. JSX feels much more natural since it allows for the same JS everyone (hopefully) loves.

Something like hyperapp/hyperscript can absolutely be used in place of JSX, but the HTML likeness that JSX enables feels more natural to me - and I think most - vs a bunch of h1(), h2() etc function calls. In the end, though, this is a trivial difference.

A component expressed in JSX is really just a JS function call that ends up as a document.createElement() invocation.
It's important to remember the biggest reason why overcommit exists on Linux and macOS: fork(). When a process forks, the vast majority of the child process's memory is safely shared with the parent process, due to copy-on-write. But a strict accounting would say that the total memory usage of the system has doubled, which is too conservative in most cases. Since forking is so common on Unix, overcommit ends up being necessary pretty quickly. Otherwise, fork/exec would stop working in any process using more than half of the system memory.
Link to the thread? Not that I don't believe it, but I think that the arguments might be more nuanced than it sounds.

PHP has evolved, it less of an injection vulnerability factory now, and MariaDB is the new MySQL. As usual computers became cheaper and more powerful, maybe not as much as we could have hoped in 2010 but SSDs made up for the slow rate of progress in CPUs.

All that to say that PHP + MySQL/MariaDB has evolved will get you much further than it did in 2010 without losing its simplicity. Current trends are backed by tech giants working with millions of servers and billions of users, and they push for technologies that fit their use cases. They goal is not to make a one man shop.

The parent comment was talking about public discussion of how vax would allow a faster return to normal life. Your employer is perfectly entitled to tell you to mask or distance, or where a pink jumpsuit.

With people getting fake vax cards, etc, I can see some employers deciding to err on the side of caution. Especially since some workers can't get vaxxed at all due to medical conditions.
