> See Illinois and it's massive budget shortfall due to people leaving the state

Does this really make them think of changing stuff, or will they just increase taxes and try get more money? I mean, most governments will do the latter before fixing the issue (they don't want to admit the issue is with them...)

Right now, it seems your biggest struggle is with the number of competing ideas and priorities. You may need to invoke a series of developer honor duels and whittle it down to one chef in this kitchen if you want to survive.

Having 1 technical leader who can fight consistent and honest battles with the business makes things a lot easier in my experience. When it's 1 room of 10 people vs another room of 15 people, you aren't going to move anywhere. And if you do end up somewhere, it almost certainly won't be ideal.

My initial take was to say both codebases are now legacy, and both teams need to select a final tech stack for the rewrite. Without seeing the business and technology, that would be quite presumptive depending on priorities and market dynamics. That said, a clean start can sometimes be the fastest and easiest path if everyone is still fresh on the current codebases.
You’d have to look at like vs view ratios. But I agree, the dislike button made that far easier. Unfortunately, the regime didn’t like the button lol

From what I got from skipping over the study, this isn't about beta-amyloid itself, but "triglyceride-rich lipoprotein" amyloid beta complexes.

The amyloid beta plaques may be not cause, but symptom of the disease. Maybe the TRL-A-betas are causing the damage, get metabolized and after that the protein separates and then accumulates in the brain? The study states, the TRL-A-beta are causing inflammation, which they attribute for disease progression rather than A-beta plaque formation.

> ...the findings presented in this study nonetheless support a now large body of evidence that demonstrates that the genesis of plaque is not the initiating trigger for neurodegenerative processes to be initiated, but rather, may be consequential. This study provides evidence that more subtle chronic interactive effects of peripheral metabolism of TRL-Aβ with the cerebrovasculature may be sufficient to potentially cause AD.

So, clearing up A-betas may be just flushing the "damage logs".

There have been several studies done showing that a healthy keto diet can reduce or even reverse Alzheimers symptoms in many patients. Just do a quick Google or YouTube search, lots of content on the subject.
I'd buy twitter blue right now if it didn't still have ads. I'd pay 3 times its cost if it was just ad free. Sure it's not a problem on my computer because I have adblock but I primarily use twitter on my phone, and I'm too lazy to set up an adblocking DNS like pihole.
Although not mentioned in the article, the trick can handle this. The rule should be "remove a digit that isn't 0", and if the sum of remaining digits is divisible by 9 then the removed digit must be 9 as well. That will cover everything except the case when the original number and the scrambled number are the same.

Sounds like a great idea, but in virtual worlds like Kaneva (anyone remember them?) people found the links that were not reliable were not fun at all. So they eventually abandoned self hosted servers. I suspect this scheme will also run into such issues.
But if you want to communicate that you respect someone you will avoid the magic words because it's impossible for them to read your mind and understand your true intentions. Just empathy isn't it? If someone calls you a cunt but in their heart of hearts deeply respects you, that's pretty useless isn't it? Because it's impossible to know what is truly in their heart, and you can only judge them by what they say and what they do. If you respect someone why would you communicate in such a way that they could reasonably come to the conclusion that you in fact don't respect them at all?
You keep dreaming.

A journalist is a regular citizen who can write. They are motivated by hatred, that's why Cuomo, Trump and Elizabeth Holmes a juicy targets, but the inefficiency of the beurocracy and the government waste are not something they are interested in.

Journalists also throw tantrums when they analyze a high profile person and find nothing on them.

Journalists , like cops, judges etc. are not proactive , unlike engineers, their enemy is not a problem, but it's always another person.

Their dream is basically them publishing a hit piece which would bring somebody big down, that's how they picture themselves, that's what they visualize when they are asked to define success.

From there they try to go backwards trying to see what they have to do to make it happen.
Had a play with Azure Chaos Studio – here's what I found
What I find puzzling if the plaques are a link in the chain (as opposed to a symptom), isn't so much that beta-amyloid drugs stop short of outright resolving the symptoms, but that they don't seem to affect the progress of the disease.

To continue with your example, if beta-amyloid was a major source of inflammation, and inflammation caused the damage, it'd seem reasonable to expect that removing the plaques would result in slowed cognitive decline.

Strangely, this does not seem to happen in clinical trials.

Svelte doesn't really use any kind of proxy. It instruments its code with explicit invalidations and scheduled updates. Mutations are tracked "lexically" intra-component with static analysis or with explicit functions when using stores
It's in beta, you can enable it in settings.

It's still a pain to buy MOB in the US so it's not that usable in the states. It would have been interesting to me if they just used Zcash instead of rolling their own, but I'm not sure what's supposed to be special about MOB vs. Zcash.

I also don't think it's that big of a deal.

Sure, most revolutionary ideas are pushed by younger people and rejected by older people. That doesn't make every idea pushed by younger people revolutionary. And the convenient fact that early adopters of this revolutionary idea will become incredibly wealthy if it takes off doesn't really help with credibility.

This is survivorship bias stretched to a pretty crazy extreme. I'm pretty sure you could make a much larger list of differences in the evolution of the web and web3 than similarities.

Word, makes sense. One of the major reasons why I'm interested in hubris in the first place is the strong opinion I have that systems code particularly should have a use case more important than "hey, look what I can do with this systems code". Lack of spoons on y'all's part kind of comes with that territory.
Just for the record, source maps are awesome and (unfortunately) typically disabled on production.

It‘s quite hard to provide a second factor if you can‘t have any belongings because you either lose them or they get stolen (eg. homeless people battling addiction). Personal devices and yubikeys are ruled out. Biometric features could be another factor, although hard to implement.

At a library, a staff member could create authenticator codes for people who often visit and are recognized by the staff. The visitor would then request to see the code if they need it. Of course this is a lot of effort for the library to identify people and the visitors must rely on their local library, they still can’t access their e-mail if they are on a device somewhere else.
Keep in mind that any time a message is on flash storage there might be a hidden copy kept for flash technical reasons. It is hard to get to (particularly if the disk is encrypted) but might still be accessible in some cases.

I think encrypted messengers should have a "completely off the record" mode that can easily be switched on and off. Such a mode would guarantee that your messages are never stored anywhere that might become permanent. When you switch it off then everything is wiped from memory. That might be a good time to ensure any keys associated with a forward secrecy scheme are wiped as well.
I can't take this comment seriously.

IMO the question should really be why did plain text never catch on outside the developer community. Plain text is still king for coding, and technical people are more likely to be keeping notes etc in plain text.

I think it's related to visualization of hierarchy, emphasis, relationships, images etc. It's just harder to see the layout of a document in plain text, esp for people not used to doing so.

Of course thats not to say the visualization could not be built on an underlying plain text markup, it just wasn't in MS or Googs interest to do so. It is encouraging that a lot of the new wave of PKM tools (Dendron, Obsidian, LogSeq etc, plus my own, BrainTool) are built on a plain-text first model. Maybe its making a come back!
> If a relatively small number of people (say, 10m) stop using the US dollar,

This is a very weak straw man. The majority of people on the planet interact with the dollar economy, either directly or indirectly, because of its extreme dominance. Of course a ~0.3% reduction in users isn't going to change much.

Dollar hegemony is fairly binary: either it's the dominant world currency or it isn't. If hegemony falls, the US military will have to reduce in size, because it can no longer be funded by being the gatekeeper of the global economy.

This seems like a good place to say that I strongly recommend Yasha Levine's Surveillance Valley book (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34220713-surveillance-va...) where he suggests that all of this is working as intended, going all the way back to the military counter-insurgency roots of the arpanet first in places like Vietnam, and then back home in anti-war and leftist movements. The contemporary themes that are relevant are the fact that current privacy movements like Tor, Signal, OTF, BBG are fundamentally military funded and survive on government contracts. It distracts from the needed political discourse into a technology one where "encryption is the great equalizer" and everyone can resist big brother in their own way on the platforms the government has built. Encryption does exist, but it also distracts from other vectors like vulnerabilities (that led to Ulbricht getting caught), what services you would e2e connect to, how you get the clients to connect to those services, what store can push binaries for said clients etc.
They have to products. One is a sensor that you put on a drum stick and it allows you to tap just about anything and produce drum sounds. The other product is pads that you can hit with a regular drum sticks, so you need to get several pads to create a full set.

Both allow you to play about anywhere.

I suspect part of what is going on is that Google, and its employees, have forgot what Google was supposed to be. In some warped, misguided attempt to not be evil, they got confused and tried to be neutral.

Google should be opinionated. It should have a huge bias towards quality. It should not be hard for a small army of employees to be blackholing ANY crap product roundup site. Real product tests, where multiple items were actually purchased and compared, should always float to the top.

Just as much as needing to pay attention to what spam to suppress, they should be asking "what do we we want at the top" and whitelisting really great sources that always cut in front. Why should healthline ever appear before examine.com?

Instead, they have thrown their hands up, said the algorithm is in charge, and to interfere with it would be improper. Bollocks.

Not because of the tax increase, but because the amount of taxes you pay goes into never ending government pit of inefficiency and incompetency.

From my POV, having lived here for 20 years, WA residents used to get a reasonable deal on their taxes. Sure, they were high from the perspective of this Midwestern boy, but the ferries ran on time and shit got done. I do not feel that's the case anymore (well, the ferries are probably still timely).

I was just asking my wife the other day, "I don't mind high gas taxes per se, but for having some of the highest fuel taxes in the country, why is this highly-trafficked road such a piece of shit? They haven't paved it since we moved here." As one example; but where the hell is that money going? We don't even have hard winters to tear the roads up. Why are four-banger compact cars running practically open exhaust and rattling windows? Don't we do inspections anymore? Or have cops that pull people over for such things? Speaking of which, in Redmond I'm kind of surprised when I see a cop driving around anymore.

Blah, blah, blah, no one outside of WA cares and those that live here know what I'm on about, so I'll cut it short. I'm with parent: I'll gladly pay taxes, they buy civilization. But lately I don't feel I'm getting as much civilization for my tax dollar as I used to, not even close.
Without naming a place, a friend of mine checked out a copy of the parliamentary proceedings (from the UK) of the House of Lords from the early 19th c. They were the only one to have ever checked any of these books out. Mostly boring, but the HoL could get up to funny stuff when they were bored or irritating each other.

My only gripe was that they highlighted their favorite bits in yellow. I mean — come on! Their counterargument was that, in the year 2150, when the next person checks out the proceedings, they'd know where the good parts were.
Yeah I regret using pgup/pgdown for regular scrolling in the beginning. I'm gonna add keybindings for paging up and down properly (so that a user can remap those to pgup/pgdown) and I think down the line I might change that to be the default behaviour, but it's tricky when it comes to keybindings people are now familiar with after using the app for a while.
> The landowners would continue to be white and male, but with an expansion of who gets to participate.

I also don't think this is quite right, either. There were black landowners, specifically in virginia, but other states too like maryland and louisiana, many of whom were yeoman farmers, and even a few who owned slaves, and were successful petitioners to suits heard at the house of burgesses, until the late 18th-century, but eventually it just became too convenient to be lazy and label "black == slave".

You could be a black landowner in connecticut and vote until 1814, well after the constitution was passed. It's kind of a common narrative that the US was born in racism, but I think it was more "the US did not know what to do with the issue of race and grew into racism" which is scarier, if you ask me.

correction: until the early 18th century, which is when the black codes were passed in Virginia. However, several other states allowed free blacks to vote around the time of the constitution.

What you're describing as a "problem" is people beyond the wealthiest members of society having a chance at owning popular consumer goods, while the wealthy must contend with an X% chance at getting them on demand instead of 100%.
Growth of wealth is not the same as democratization or an improvement in the human rights situation. Saudi-Arabia is very wealthy, but journalists get cut into pieces, when they dare to criticize the government. In China you can be very wealthy, but when you criticize the government you will simply vanish. And in Russia you will be poisoned or just fall out of the window, if you are not useful for the government anymore. Whats the point of all the growth of wealth, if basic human right are violated every day in these countries?

In fact a growth of wealth in these countries even makes the situation worse, because wealth stabilizes a regime. Instead first a country must democratize and only afterwards it should be allowed to profit from global trade.

I posted this because although I disagree with it, I think this is a much more preferable method than any kind of vaccine passport system that turns businesses into government agents and creates a group of second class citizens. The latter approach is more popular politically because it automatically creates an external group onto which people can project their fear and anger, but its completely out of line with any notion of liberal democratic values, even "crisis" values. An approach like in the article that makes it between an individual and the government directly is much more reasonable - private businesses are left out of it, and a person's societal obligations are verified and enforced by government directly. Sort of like conscription or something, you wouldn't expect businesses to check if you're a draft dodger before they let you in.

Not exactly what they hint at in this study...

> In wild-type (WT) C57BL/6J mice, a saturated fatty acid (SFA)-enriched diet was found to strongly stimulate biosynthesis and secretion of TRL-Aβ, concomitant with a reduction in cerebral capillary endothelial tight junction proteins, blood-to-brain extravasation of TRL-Aβ, and marked neurovascular inflammation [6]. In contrast, mice fed unsaturated fatty acid–rich diets had no evidence of exaggerated TRL-Aβ secretion and capillary integrity was unremarkable [6,7].

...

> Moreover, synergistic effects of TRL-Aβ with exaggerated central nervous system (CNS) synthesis of human Aβ are also suggested by the findings of accelerated amyloidosis in amyloid precursor protein/presenilin 1 (APP/PS1) mice maintained on atherogenic diets [9].

Not saying keto is inherently an atherogenic diet, but surely saturated fat and salt isn't exactly avoided by most followers.
