I don’t know what the optimal diet is, but the status quo ain’t it. Obesity and diabetes are growing uncontrollably. Would love to see a modern well done study that provides all food (cost/compliance is the main issue with most studies) and multiple diets, the government should pay for this as it’s really an epidemic.

That's a wrong assumption, it was certainly never "the whole point", just one of the factors.
You’re not a bad person for thinking it, there’s a surprising about of nuance in the handling of life, things like “mom’s suffering brings us no comfort” and then mom’s long term hospital stay is reduced when she dies quietly in her sleep.

But nobody seems to discuss it.
This is very cool. I moved our family to signal, but this looks better. I'll be trying it out for sure.
Securities can be sold privately. To be sold publicly, a security must comply with state and federal securities regulations. If a DAO sells its securities publicly, that is fine so long as they comply with the relevant regulations. The relevant regulations typically make it impractical for a firm to sell their security publicly unless they are being listed on a stock exchange in an IPO. That might not be the case in a DAO.

LLCs are just one business entity type and a DAO does not have to be an LLC.
As someone with a background in music within the Academy, where acoustics is an undeniable physical foundation for the making of meaning, and semantics are frequently well established, but the application, usage and interpretation is entirely up to humans...I have (good/bad?) news for computer science:

(from my relatively uninformed perspective)

As an academic discipline, it seems that computer science is quickly returning to its roots in philosophy of logic, now with a strong connection to sociology.

In journalism, if it bleeds, it leads.

In academia, if it begins as an inscrutable mess but unlocks to a "Eureka! It's so simple!" moment in the audience, it's a sure hit. If you've found it, expound it?

Like in journalism, a lot of academia chases its own tail. Publish the bleed/Eureka moment regardless of its inherent value, as long as it produces the desired consumption by the audience.

"The fool looks at the guru who points at the moon" and all that. Lots of focus on how to go about pointing, often too little focus on the searching.
> How is this different from Apple ?

This is a desktop OS. You're comparing Windows 11 not letting users select which browser they'd prefer on a PC OS to iOS, which is a phone OS. A more apt comparison would obviously be to compare Windows 11 and macOS. macOS doesn't force you to use Safari, lets you specify which browser you'd like as a default, and respects that decision, only bothering you about it on major updates. Even then, only bothering you with a popup that asks if you'd like to try it.

Years ago, unhappy but not suicidal, I decided to call a suicide hotline. I did this for the same reason we have fire drills and software tests - I was verifying whether it would work if I did need it.

It did not work. I was quite disappointed. After my experience, I would never suggest to anyone to call a suicide hotline, and I realized that most people who recommend them probably have never used one and don't know what they're recommending.

The individual I spoke to asked if I was suicidal - I said I wasn't at the moment, but then that doesn't mean much, does it? _I'm still calling, regardless of what I say._ I would imagine a lot of people who call suicide hotlines might not be entirely honest about the urgency or seriousness of their emotional state. Their reaction was dismissive thereafter.

The person would not make any connection with me - they are clearly trained not to do that to avoid certain problems, but I feel that in a moment where what a person needs most is a connection and is calling to try to seek one out, the total refusal to answer any questions at all or be personable in any way was like having a door shut in my face. The individual continually turned the conversation back to a set of formulaic questions that were of no help whatsoever, and I ultimately disconnected feeling worse than when I'd initially called.

I do wonder if my experience is representative of the norm or not.

Hi:

- Do functions support Worker composition announced yesterday [0]?

There's a decent Stargate Atlantis episode along these lines called Miller's Crossing. The chief scientist McKay gets kidnapped along with his sister (herself a brilliant scientist) by a billionaire trying to use alien nanite technology to cure his daughter of leukemia. In order to incentivize McKay to cooperate and fix the nanite coding, the guy injects McKay's sister with the nanites.

McKay figures it out but the daughter ends up dying because, although the nanites cure her leukemia, they also cure an undiagnosed heart murmur by stopping her heart and repairing it thus depriving her brain of oxygen and leaving her braindead.

They didn't have much time to explore the philosophical implications (sadly far too common for these scifi shows) but the rest of the episode is a race to disable the nanites before they try to "fix" the sister's epilepsy, including breaking her bones to create work for the nanites.

The only type of nanites in the SG universe that could repair a human being without causing crippling unintended consequences were hyper-intelligent replicator nanites that were hell bent on destroying humanity because they had abandonment issues.
Well for workers these questions can be answered more straightforward than for lambda:

Will a node/C thing work?

No. Only third party packages that are cleanly isomorphic will work. The most exciting thing you get is fetch. You can compile things to WebAssembly I guess.

is performance good?

For HTTP response times it‘s top notch. For compute, if it matters then it‘s not a good use case imho.

If you‘ve had performance issues with workers (not compute bound) I would like to hear about them, because I have put it into a "way to go when I want every answer to be reliably fast" bucket.

Debugging?

Well… it‘s a matter taste if what they provide is enough. Better than lambda but worse then a local server.
The catch with this is you can't test any behaviour with deferred constraints. Any activity that doesn't take place until the commit will never run.

To me, it's more about the idea than the actual action on display here. Decentralizing a process than is normally very opaque and centralized is what's being attempted and it's a cool idea. Whether this is executed well or not, that's a different story.

You revert C, because that's what caused the issue. Then you investigate.
Meaning it's more acceptable to not comply with cultural standards: i.e. keep standard hours, have a job, not marry/have kids, or whatever else the standards of behavior are.

I'm not convinced though that developing countries are actually lower compliance but that's what the OP means.
Great, now instead of letting independent repair shops buy my $600 topcase for a broken keyboard, I can enjoy the disappointment from the comfort of my own home!
Is your advice based on this single interaction?
Thanks for sharing this. I'm sorry that you've been so poorly treated. You deserve better. Very many people do.

I recently read Van Der Kolk's "The Body Keeps The Score", a book about trauma and its effects. It's a masterwork, and I'll be thinking about it for the next year. But one of the big themes for me is the extent to which he, a well-placed psychiatrist with a strong mix of clinical and research work, had trouble getting the medical establishment to go beyond outdated categories and marginally effective treatments. It's heartbreaking to think of all the patients so poorly supported by the existing system.

It made me realize that as far as mental health goes, we're living in an age that people will later look at with horror. It makes me think of Semmelweis [1], who had the then-radical idea that surgeons should wash their hands before cutting people open. Many in the establishment mocked him. How dare he call them dirty! He ended up being committed to an asylum where he was beaten; he died 2 weeks later from a gangrenous wound. Eventually people realized he was right, but too late for him. And for who knows how many deaths.

The vaccinations were their biggest enemy and the end of lockdowns. Rolling out Android late was an avoidable error giving their funding.
The Fed is guided, err mandated, to focus on stable prices and full employment. Stable inflation of prices is 0%. 2% or 5% is not stable.

Having a group of private company PhDs (the Fed is not government just a contractor to government) attempt to set the price of money at 2+% seems unlikely and not a free market. Maybe they can also set price of rice and internet service.
I don't understand. Are you just "John Madden"ing that if the DAO wins the auction then they will be the ones that bid the most?
Why was SetWindowLong (taking LONG) superseded by SetWindowLongPtr (taking LONG_PTR) on 64-bit versions of Windows?
yeah it worked, as in the ecosystem was consistent with a single non-blocking pattern..

and then almost immediately went in 5 different directions around how to program around it.. callback hell, async/await, generators, promises etc..
I honestly don't feel like Github did a good job there either, I mean at least on the web UI because the VSCode Github extension helps a lot (when it's not buggy).
With modern post processing, why would you be interested in a single 1 hour exposure vs a stacked image?

One thing that most people comparing a film camera and digtal camera by exposure lengths is the fact that a digital cameras image decreases the longer the chip is energized. Heat builds up, and the image gets more noisy the longer the exposure. One rule of thumb for time lapse is to have an interval in between shots as long as the exposure being taken to allow time for the sensor to cool back down. YMMV
I think people need to drop politics and try to talk reality on the ground.

Don’t sell narratives, instead report what is experienced by the majority of the population, not some insulated pocket.

They are not the gov so they should be free to talk the pros and the cons of lockdowns and continually discuss them if on the ground realities shift. They are also not the fed and should be able to talk openly about what people are experiencing (inflation). It’s silly to claim it’s transitory when the policies being used are by their nature inflationary.

I hope the news has learnt their lesson, but that’s doubtful.
You can't open a PR in the parent repository against a branch in the fork. You can create that PR inside the forked repository, but that doesn't allow the maintainers of the parent repository to do anything with it. So if you've got two stacked branch in a fork, you can't open two PRs for them in the manner GP described.
>according to John Gruber.... because of how complex finding suppliers

The same John Gruber claims $159 AirPod were sold at near cost. Which leads to a whole world of misinformation passed along as fact in all AirPod discussions.

He may get a few things right in terms of design and software. But seriously his creditability in terms of hardware and supply chain is practically zero.

And no, camera or lens dont get get finalized 2-3 years before the phone comes out.

But I agree it absolutely does not need years. And if anyone has been following Apple for a long period of time should know this PR means it wasn't prepared for YEARS. Not to mention they are basically opening up their repair programme from 3rd party to end users. The only thing that take time rather than a flip of a switch is user instruction and legal clearing.
Hey, can I copy your homework?
There are any number of other, more rational ways of doing this. The only "problem" is that they don't involve crypto because, in this case, crypto brings absolutely nothing to the table that I can discern except an increased risk of getting scammed. The most obvious would be to sell shares in a corporation or LLC. That entity could then use the money raised to buy the constitution. That way the funders would actually have something of recognized legal value (fractional ownership in an entity that owns a copy of the U.S. Constitution) instead of a largely worthless "governance token."

Under the current approach, it seems like people are being asked to contribute money so that someone else can buy a copy of the U.S. Constitution, with the funders having--at best--merely a say in how/where it is displayed. I can't imagine why anyone would want to do this, unless they are misunderstanding what they are getting in return for their ETH.
Nice article. I'll add one more argument. Most people think the universality of Turing machines (the possibility of emulating one Turing machine with another) means that the universe must be a computer because if we can build computers then the universe itself must be some kind of computer by computational universality. But the problem with this is that nothing says that a non-computable universe is not allowed to have Turing machines nested within it.

A somewhat tortured analogy is inscribing a square inside a circle and then claiming that the circle is actually a square because squares can be inscribed within other squares. The folks that believe in a computational universe don't have a convincing argument for why they assume the universe is a computer other than assuming it as an axiom, which is fine but is not much of an argument for why the universe must be a computer.

Similar argument is true for the brain. Humans can carry out computational actions by emulating Turing machines but that is not a good reason to believe that the brain is also a computer because the same argument applies. Just because a Turing machine can be "nested" within biological brains does not mean that brains are themselves Turing machines.

Housing shortage? Probably, but why? In a town I lived in for a bit 50% of the houses were second houses, i would drive around and see them all dark, sitting there empty. Her where I am now, the housing has been moved over to AirBNB. It is all greed.

And go to a poor town? And not have healthcare, be away from my friends and support? But yes, I have tried it. They ask me what I do and when I say I am on disability they deny me the rental. And many of these towns will not let you live in your van while you are looking.

It is inequality, not a shortage.

I am telling you, you have no idea what it is like.

Neither of those are really sufficient reasons though, if they didn't want to channel people through their expensive, first-party repairs then they wouldn't lock down their supply chain so hard.
> It's not a free day, by any means. The company is dedicating 2-3 times the hours of the interview, minimum.

How many hours of research, experience and interview prep is the candidate bringing to the table? When you can answer that, you can make a determination on whether the company is dedicating more or less than the potential hire.
You may be confusing note-taking with rewriting notes as part of study. Most wouldn't use note-taking for both of those activities, whether in or out of college, and what the article author is doing is more like note rewriting, except he's using a system of tags and links to do a sort of emergent restatement of ideas.

The scene from The Office was ironic. ;)
Another approach is to use Database Lab (https://gitlab.com/postgres-ai/database-lab). Our tool allows deploying disposable Postgres databases in seconds using REST API, CLI, or GUI. The difference is that we provide clones with snapshots of full-sized data. For example, you may have dozens of clones of your production databases (with masked sensitive data) to use as staging servers, database migration verification, tests, and all that provisioned in a couple of seconds.

More about using full-sized Postgres clones for migration testing and why is that important: https://postgres.ai/products/database-migration-testing
Well, I have two options going forward:

1. Despite my bad experience, recommend suicide hotlines in the hopes that they work even though they didn't for me.

2. Recommend against suicide hotlines while explaining why and cautioning that my experience may or may not be representative of the norm.

I'm going with #2 for the time being, yes.
A single hotline experience not working for you doesn't warrant a blanket "I would never suggest to anyone to call a suicide hotline".

There are lots of studies that show that such programs are at least moderately effective (https://bmcpsychiatry.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12...)
Cannot see that happening. Netlify is too big and has raised a lot of money, its already hard enough to deal with organizational debt once you become a public company. They acquired Linc, it was a pretty small startup and Glen Maddern their CTO is the engineer in this blog post. He also happens to be one of the smarter folks I've met. I really like the folks at Netlify and Vercel very much, all good people, but it I think it makes more sense that CF just takes the valuation of those two startups and tries to add it to their market cap organically.

No one said they should. The EU should at least meet the same if not better standards. Instead they are trying to make an objectively less secure system.
"Stacked changes" is just branching from your PR branch and rebasing when the PR branch changes, no? I am not so sure. I see what makes this idea so revolutionary. Seems pretty obvious to me that after your first PR is ready, if the reviewer isn't, you start working on the downstream topic anyways...
Probably the third-party payment integration is available (that is not a single php uploaded manually :)). So either the api call goes through and it gets completed or it does not go through and no charges. As long as the whole payment is on a third-party (like Stripe) I do not think there would be an undefined state.
> That's highly dependent on a bunch of stuff that you can not choose at birth.

Meaning, which country you are born in? Yes, of course; that's why I specified which country I was talking about.

My original comment about the poor track record humans have of actually advancing "the greater good" when they think that's what they are doing was meant to be general, however.

> If we actually had trusted the experts things would likely look a lot better.

Which experts are these? From what I can see, with the benefit of 20-20 hindsight, two actions that the world could have taken to drastically reduce the impact of COVID, much more than anything anyone actually did, are:

(1) Stop all international travel, sometime around late January or early February 2020.

(2) Make the vaccines that were discovered in January 2020 available, at least to high risk people (e.g., the elderly, health care workers) in high risk areas, sometime in February or March 2020.

I'm not aware of any "expert" that ever recommended either of those things. Indeed, experts were vociferously recommending against #1.

Beyond this, there doesn't appear to be any explanation of how this works from a legal and tax perspective.

There's no mention of a legal entity receiving the funds, but at the same time, they state these are donations, not fractional ownership, so presumably from a legal perspective this is actually just giving the funds to the core team, who appear to be mostly in the US, but not entirely? And, while I had always thought that the point of DAOs was that they were autonomous, this appears to be just giving the core contributors direct control over the money? Surely, for example, the actual bidding is not coded into the contract?

So, considering this is now over $25m, wouldn't there be some tax involved if people pay you in this way? Maybe if you argue they are gifts (but are they?), and no individual donation is over $10k, but I suspect many are?

And at over $25m, Sotheby's is obviously going to have some ownership identification requirements. So who will actually be the legal owner here, and how will they account for this revenue?

Apparently, they're planning on setting up a (for-profit?) LLC? (https://davidgerard.co.uk/blockchain/2021/11/16/constitution...)
