The US southeast has been 'anti-union' since long before globalization. I read a history of the Great Depression, and in the 1930s the same reactionary anti-communist propaganda was used to defeat unionization.
You left out the “refined” part of my comment.

Most of the broader ideas that he espoused and is famous for were refined in a way that made them accurately generalizable. Typical research timeline where an idea is introduced and is refined over time.

Some of the specific ideas he stated (and typically backed with data) was not generalizable to broader populations and was therefore refuted as an absolute. The data and conclusions were not necessarily wrong for the sample of the population studied, but they were not found to be as broadly true as initially believed.

This additional research led to the refinement of his theories, to great effect, imho.

I can't believe parents send their kids to public schools instead of home schooling. The only benefit is childcare and socialization. And those aren't necessarily always benefits either. I mean the amount of time wasted in school is outrageous. And I don't mean wasted as in the hyper ambitious tiger mom way, I mean situations in which you are sitting in a room doing nothing or on your phone or you are taking a test to prove that you know some information.

We just accept this as normal. Nothing is less normal than a bunch of children growing up in a building sitting in chairs all day. In an environment that is strictly controlling with harsh limitations on freedom of speech, no tolerance policies for all sorts of relatively innocuous things, and a forced secularism as to ingrain in students the unimportance of spirituality, physical health, personal liberty, and nature. And lets rid ourselves of this notion this is about education, because it isn't. Every step of school is focused on obedience and preparing them for the next step so they will be able to get a job. It is the perfect way to mold a child into an obedient wage slave.
My experience working for a Bay Area company during the pandemic:

- No one uses email. Literally no one. The only things I get from email is automated notifications and meeting invites.

- Everyone uses Slack synchronously. I get multiple pings per hour. Sometimes I have to carry on 2-3 conversations in real time, simultaneously.

- Everyone says they hate meetings, but they schedule them compulsively anyway.

- Absolutely nothing is in writing: not meeting outcomes, not project plans, not reported issues. Messages in our Slack expire automatically after 60 days, so there is no written record of anything either.
this talk and the referenced pair talk by matt bauman were really excellent.

basically the big takeaway that i walked away with was that they defined a sort of pseudoclosure in the guts of the language before the compiler which relaxes some of the behaviors of a closure (ie what gets captured) which then enables the creation of larger optimizable regions for the compiler in the context of doing autodiff.

the demo by matt bauman where they do autodiff on a function that prompts for and has the user type in the name of another julia mathematical function was really impressive!
Jeffrey Epstein fell. Bill Gates lost his wife over his long-standing, deep involvement with Epstein. That is very, very carefully never, ever mentioned on TV. Bill Clinton, likewise.
Depends on the "currency" type

Some legal currencies are issued more and more based on "government credit" instead of real assets like gold will likely have their value drop (supply > demand).

For "Cryptocurrencies" (let's discuss whether they quality as "currency" or not in another place)

Some types of them has limited supply by design (but the supply can still increase slowly for the next N (e.g. 10) years with slower rate each year)

So if the demands goes up (which can also go down) and the supply does not grow too much, the value per "coin" would increase.
Ah I'm a macOS user, but good to note nonetheless!
> with very limited exceptions.

So again not a mandate. Good luck on your lawsuit, you'll need it.

edit: Since you called me dishonest, I'll explain exactly why I think you'll need luck on your lawsuit:

I understand you are highly charged about this issue due to your being involved in a lawsuit, so you seem to be in litigation attack mode. That's understandable. But calling the other side dishonest and not worthy of engagement won't serve you or your lawyer well in a court of law, so you might as well get used to being challenged without taking it personally.

Based on what you've posted here it seems like you feel the vaccine requirements are discriminatory and unfair because they restrict people from gaining access to essential services like air travel.

Yet the links you provide have shown that the Canadian government

1. Had an extended period of time when unvaccinated people could travel with a test to give them time to get vaccinated.

2. Have now moved to a phase where they don't accept tests but still have exceptions to vaccination

3. Those exceptions are specifically designed to accommodate people who rely on air travel for an essential service.

4. There are exceptions for people who cannot get vaccinated

5. There are exceptions for people in the process of getting vaccinated

6. There are options for you to travel if you cannot get vaccinated, making air travel not essential in that case, so your argument falls apart there.

I have no idea how this would hold up in court, obviously I'm not a lawyer. But the government is going to argue that they have the right to set public health policy (true), they have made accommodations (true), there are exceptions (true), and for anyone whom air travel is essential there are further accommodations (true). For the sake of your case, I hope your lawyer presents your arguments in court better than you have presented them here, because I'm not convinced.

I'm surprised to hear this has changed so significantly since the snowden leaks. Especially after the blatant attack on Qwest CEO Joseph Nacchio for refusing to spy.

Someone not well informed on the matter was rumoured to say that DNSSEC does not work well with ECDSA P-256. This is far from the case. New implementations are increasingly ECDSA, and further bulk rollovers will happen. Many resolvers are not yet ready for EdDSA 25519 or Ed448, so those will not happen in bulk in the short term. Need a few more LTS OS releases that lack Ed25519 support to be phased out before that happens.

It has been said about fundamental science that progress happens one funeral at a time... Something like that is applicable to core infrastructure, it is rarely upgraded, more typically replaced. So the lifecycles are somewhat longer.

In fact ECDSHAP256SHA256(13) will shortly be the most prevalent DNSSEC algorithm, and already has been a few times but for recent algorithm rollovers from the deprecated RSASHA1(7) (90% down from peak and falling) to RSASHA256(8) that temporarily put RSA(8) back in front.

The supremacy of RSA(8) over EC(13) is not for long: <https://stats.dnssec-tools.org/images/ksk-algs.png>. A month ago there was a 1.2M zone gap, it is now down to ~150k, and will soon be gone.

The TLDs have been a bit slower to adopt P256, just 45 so far, but these include e.g. .cz, .br, .ch and .fr. There will be more TLDs switching to ECDSA in 2022.
"MTDH was amplified — meaning it produced MTDH proteins at abnormally high levels compared to normal cells — in 30 to 40% of tumor samples"

That doesn't sound great, unless the 30-40% was only and all of the metastatic type.

My cynicism leads me to think if the news was that good, they would clearly state it.

Also, I read this:

"for some, maybe five, 10, 15, 20 years later, they’ll have a recurrence, often as metastatic relapse"

...and think, so how long does it take to prove that you've prevented this, huh?

Worth mentioning that the JCP is much more of a major mainstream party in Japan than communist parties are in most, or perhaps any, other western developed country.

It would be worth quite a bit, but it would have to be comparable to either rogaine or hair transplant surgery. Hairline surgery isn't worth the money for most men, but they wouldn't even blink paying that much for cancer treatment. If it were comparable to rogaine in price it wouldn't be as much of a cash cow since they're making less per sale and maybe making fewer sales because it cures the problem. And if I remember correctly, we only have finasteride/minoxidil for hair loss because they were originally used for high blood pressure

The world needs a lot of Physical examination testing spaces that are run on open standards but which can be rented by different institutions. These physical spaces should have the most stringent rules to prevent unethical behaviour. It is difficult to depend on honor system in ultra competitive societies like India and as an Indian it has impacts honest people like me more.

Having said the above, unfortunately there are very few ways to do all round assessment of individuals in a purely objective manner. Human biases would always be there in subjective assessment and an interesting thing i see in India is that a lot of people mistake English speaking ability and communication skills for overall ability.

The scalping only exists because the market was "unhealthy" (not efficient). What is detrimental to society and markets which are based around maximizing utility of dollar spent is the massive wealth inequality that makes it so things need to be priced so low as to actually allow a majority of the population to afford their choice of scarce resources.
The post hit on some of the main points that I used to teach folks who were working remotely for the first time. The main point that resonated with me was asking good questions via IM.

Bad examples:

Hey, do you have a minute?
Hey how's it going?
I have a question for you.
Have you heard of $x?

Good example:

Hey there! I hope you're well. How's your dog holding up since he had that run in with the porcupine? I didn't even know you had those in Barbados. Anyway, I have a question regarding $thing. I ran into an issue with $thing and it looks to be related to $otherthing. But when I googled $thing, I got results for $completelydifferentthing. I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. Can you help set me straight? Here's every detail I can think of you needing:

This is especially important in various cultures where some people feel it is rude to have a conversation without first checking on somebody's welfare or talking about the weather. That's great in some settings, but when you're working from home, it's instant messenger hell.
it doesn't have to be a single person that reviews all bikes. We can crowdsource this a la IMDb. But it does seem like a myth that there was ever, in history, a good way to answer the question of "best exercise bike". Google's current inability to answer the question isn't new.

Listen, Clojure isn't born yesterday, it's around for quite some time and it's a mature product. And when you have mature products that are still in development and people behind it do evolve it then you also get all kind of optimizations.

I would expect the system maybe to be slower like 20 to maximum 50% (as in Rust to be maximum 2 times faster) but 50 times faster?. That's already brain in the chair mistake.

I don't think async can make things faster but it can make them more energy efficient and the incentives for that is still close to none as our economic models reward waste until all EROEI is depleted.

But you need to add the ability to switch things off dynamically, meaning cores on CPU/GPU; so far the industry has solved this with little.big but that requires all software to change, it's going to take time that we unfortunately do not have as hardware is closing the ownership model.

You have to implement the encryption logic client side. But then now the client has to verify the JavaScript they receive upon visiting the URL matches what is published in the open repository.

> There was one major architectural difference of Snowflake vs Redshift. A very underappreciated tech shift is how much faster networks got around that time. Up until that point, the wisdom was “move compute to data”, but Snowflake bet early on a full decoupling.

This has been something that's hugely interested me I think ever since I heard the Jeff Rothschild episode of On The Metal. It was that podcast's host, Bryan Cantrill, whose 'Manta' storage system was one of these "move compute to data" systems.

In software, new systems/frameworks/vendors need to be around 10x better for big corps to switch, and I think the lower level hardware & systems layers are where big gains are made that go unnoticed by many developers who operate way up high in web dev land.

In that On The Metal episode, Rothschild suggests that non-volatile RAM could be a hardware-level evolution that causes a lot of re-building up the DB & application stack.

> If you rank by total murders Chicago comes in an easy first

But ranking by total murders is definitely wrong, isn't it?

You can have criticisms of the per-capita rate, and you can argue that the smaller cities should have their suburbs included. But the alternative of just saying "let's look at the raw numbers independent of population and see which one is better" would be even more absurd.

Just as an example here, there are plenty of reasons to be distrustful of the per-capita comparisons of Covid infection across states, or to argue that they don't capture all of the nuance of what's going on. But nobody would ever seriously argue that those problems mean you should stop paying attention to population size when comparing Covid rates between states. Similarly, it just seems really silly to me to argue that missing suburbs means we should stop controlling for total population in crime data.
Scrape and Visualize Lime Micromobillity Data from Washington DC (GitHub)

Because we can only frame things in our own view. If an alien species was that advanced, then they would either want to help us evolve to a point we were passive (which we currently are very much not) or destroy us. And to clarify by "passive" I mean becoming a species that finds a way to co-exist with other "apex predators". Our current modus operandi is that we eliminate anything that poses a serious threat to our ability to do what we want when we want with 0 repercussions.

See: lions, tigers, bears, wolves, bobcats, mountain lions, etc. anywhere that humans have a meaningful presence.

Trials are absolutely free for the participants. Insurance won’t pay for non-FDA approved treatments and it’s illegal to charge for them anyway.

Ancillary routine FDA approved testing that accompanies the trials may be billed to insurance in some cases? I don’t know about that. But a trial for a novel cancer treatment will be free, if not even include an honorarium of some kind to defray costs to the patient for participating.
