I would appreciate any help in squaring things like this story with seeing 50k plus in (indoor) sports events with no masking or other remediation measures. And they’re in the same or adjacent states. Is it merely that they’re tolerating the deaths and sickness as less important that their inconvenience?
How's that work? You have a QEMU windows box setup to game on?

Not only that, extremely risky. It's an "all or nothing" approach versus starting at low risk and moving up.

I think this is really important to remember with log4j and other vulnerabilities cropping up. It really sucks updating a single dependency version and having your dependency tree explode in conflict. It sucks even more when that prevents you from updating all your apps since they're all part of the same monolithic codebase
I believe there is a tax implication when implying people where you have no office. This is both your taxation as well as any social security payments etc.
It is especially not the same due to loss of tax advantaged benefits like health insurance ($20k+ per year if you have a family), 401k matching ($10k+), DCFSA and HSA matches ($5k), and then the 8% FICA taxes up to $10k that have to come out of your pocket.

Of course I did not accept the TOS change. I never accepted any TOS from facebook, nor whatsapp.
Centralized communication systems are obviously worse than decentralized ones for everybody except the few people profiting from it. So I never signed up to facebook or whatsapp or any other such "service".

I can confirm from trying to cut fallen ironwood trees that they are ridiculously hard. It's viscerally obvious when it takes several times the amount of time and effort with a quality chainsaw.

I was always confused after that experience why there isn't more ironwood furniture, and just assumed it's because it's too difficult to work with.
> but most people have no idea what OSS is. the CIA is the natural successor of OSS.

That still doesn't make the headline correct, though. CIA simply didn't exist in WW2.
> Just as the anti-Trump crowd doesn't like Trump's personality, you reject Pike for his arrogance.

This feels like an odd and unfair comparison.

I have nothing but respect for Pike and what he’s accomplished.

I don’t dislike him in some anti-cult-of-personality. I’m not ignoring good work he’s done just because it doesn’t fit my world view.

But I CAN criticize his individual work for being limiting or lacking ergonomics that I like.

And it’s entirely fair to look at Pike’s personal motivation for making the decisions he made, because it has an impact not only on what Go is currently, but also what it’s likely to be (or likely to not be) in the future.

If Go were created with the intention to be, say, a cleaner C++ with garbage collection, then I’d be all over it. I’d know that even if I don’t fully like it’s implementation today, it might eventually “get there”.

But instead it was created as an admittedly dumbed down language for people that Pike personally decided needed a dumbed down language, so I know that it’s never going to be what I want it to be.

That’s not an attack on Pike as a person. It’s not me blindly following a media campaign trying to destroy someone.

It’s me saying that I benefit greatly from generics and more robust error handling, and Go is not likely to have those in the capacity that I want because the whole motivation behind the language was to avoid those things at all costs.

None of which takes away from Pike’s career in its entirety.
When I came to the US I worked and earned $47/hr as a developer, I was employed as a consultant and had one client whom paid the consulting company $550/hr for my services. I worked over 40h/week but my pay was capped at 40h. I worked this job for 3 years. It was a bit of a sweat shop, but it worked out as after 3 years I was able to get a much better paid job.

> if we are not willing to go to war over civilian casualties, those who don't care are going to rule everything.

So...the people attacking your troops because of their civilian casualties — no issues, right?
I don't really see any issues with this. If you are subject to any of these rules you and your business should be ready. If not they shouldn't be a concern. Absolutely nothing unethical going on here. Apart from crap business not wanting to follow the legistlation.

I would disagree with fact checkers being “biased and bad” in Spain. Some political parties have copied the misinformation spreading style, and they probably don’t like being called out.

I had a related experience with an MVP gone awry. We were building a product that had an entrenched competitor (let’s set aside whether that was a good idea in itself).

We decided to build the core technology and go after some very easy wins first, while laying the foundation for bigger, more complicated wins.

I thought this was a fairly sound plan at the time but we hit three problems that would make me rethink such an approach in the future.

(1) the “easy” use case ended up being significantly harder than expected. I’d guess it took 4x longer to ship than expected, which allowed doubt in the project to run rampant.

(2) the easy wins were smaller than expected (it didn’t help that the system we were augmenting already had some of the features we were building, just implemented in a more ad-hoc fashion).

(3) the more complex and profitable features required significantly new features in the core, the implementation of which had become very complex and the design compromised during the process of shipping the late, underwhelming MVP, and at that point there was no more appetite to continue investing in this technology.

When Ohio released it's "breakthrough" dashboard, I thought it was misleading as well since it included all of 2021 and the vaccine wasn't available to all adults until mid-April or so. Because of that, I started recording the weekly snapshots for a few weeks but lost interest. Since I was capturing weekly, you could just look at the new numbers. Here's what my data showed for Ohio:

Between Sep-15 and Oct-27, there were 2899 COVID deaths. Of those, 2625 were unvaxxed or partially vaxxed and 274 were fully vaxxed. So fully vaxxed deaths were about 9.5% of COVID deaths during that period. I stopped capturing weekly data at that point.

I just went and looked at it again with the most updated numbers and from Oct-27 when I stopped recording weekly data and today, 92% of Ohio COVID deaths are unvaxxed.

Given all that, I don't think starting at 2021 is all that misleading at all. Ohio's fully-vaxxed rate for adults is around 65%. Even assuming it was closer to 60% in the fall, you have 40% of the Ohio's population accounting for 90%+ of its COVID deaths.
Ironically, that is also what the “meaningless” HFT firms do. Automate trading so fewer and fewer traders are needed.
I could not disagree more. Public companies will give you $X amount in stock. In writing. With specific vesting periods, etc. Obviously if the stock goes up or down so does your pay. But there’s no real way for companies to game this against you.

Nearly Every highly paid SWE in the US takes a significant amount of their pay in equity. As an anecdote - I take around 70% of my pay as equity and so does everyone I work with.
We = the people, maybe. However, the corporate class has a lot more decision making power over the government in most western nations, and they definitely cannot do without rampant consumerism.
They wont' go up in value to make up for your losses in the stock market?
From my perspective, the problem isn't that they ran an experiment, the problem is that they lied to site owners, making them think they needed to deal with a tricky legal request. In many cases, the sites reached out to lawyers in answering those requests, which is pretty expensive.

The experiment aspect is only a problem in as much as it being an experiment caused the researchers to do something they wouldn't normally have done, or been okay doing.
Hopefully this puts an end to those annoying log4j-LOTR memes.

(Unless some hobbits have 3 breakfasts?)
I agree, it shouldn't have been in there. But that is only tangential to the reason why Trump pulled the US out of it. He despised China so much that he made sure to strengthen his personal businesses with them while simultaneously weaken the US trade partnership with their rivals.
It isn't technological progress I'm after. It's social progress. I want to live in a world where it's easier for different groups to exchange information using a well-defined set of semantic data standards. I'm not advocating for the imposition of any new technologies here. Everything I outlined is readily achievable using technology we have at hand today. It's just a question of holding organizations accountable to the good of the people on this planet instead of just to their own bottom line.

I don't think the purpose of consumer banking should be to inspire us with technological wizardry. It should be to provide a stable suite of services to customers, with protections to safeguard those customers where appropriate. If 50-year-old Cobol mainframes are serving that goal, well and good. If they're not (say, because they're more susceptible to breaches), then those companies running outdated software should be penalized until they upgrade their shit.

For each of your points, there are counterpoints to be made where government-imposed regulation had a positive effect on the citizenry. Do you find Teflon-induced cancers inspiring? What about marketing cigarettes to children? Should we get rid of all FDA labels on food products? More pertinently, should we do away with Sarbanes-Oxley and give corporations free reign over how they manage their financial affairs?

Restrictions on liberty are a fundamental part of living in a society, whether we're talking about individual or corporate liberties. This isn't to say that all regulation is perfect, or that there won't be some bumps in the road. Far from it. But I consider it a hallmark of our immaturity as a society that we see the regulatory landscape in such black-and-white terms as "regulation kills innovation".

Of course, entrenched industries spend tons of money trying to convince the average person that this is the case, so perhaps it is excusable that so many people feel that way...
China's economy would crumble a little if it could not sell anything outside anymore. Imagine a few billions of people losing their current level of life in China... a good recipe for regime change.

You are nitpicking examples thats follow what you think, and is typical for someone highly biaised.

On [0], you take one example, while forgotting to says thats the majority of nuclear fuel come from developed country (Canada, Russia, Australia).

On [1] you take an Americain study, and you somehow forget to says that french nuclear reactor have a heating limit of the water to avoid these issues.

On [2], simple counterexample: https://www.lci.fr/international/centrale-de-taishan-l-histo...

I was worried about that, but I find it doesn't happen to me unless I'm lying in bed, or I'm already tired. As long as I'm reasonably awake and sitting up, I can read for as long as I like.
We don't know do we. That's the fact. And how would we know if the control group is just removed (as Pfizer did in their phase 3 trials anyway...)?

I guess hopefully we don't find out, because the only way it'll ever be clearly distinguished is if it goes very badly across the board. Anything less can quite simply be explained away. Isn't it nice for Pfizer/Moderna to be able to run the long-term study with immunity in a manner that is very hard to understand clinical outcomes (except the huge side-effect profile readily dismissed as 'acceptable' because some deaths are more important than others).
No not really. Might have been better to hire someone in these legislations to send the email, but I don't think that would really have changed the ethics. These unethical businesses have not followed the laws and now are crying...
You realize many American are from Chinese decent.

Not selling to a citizen of China regardless of race (not all Chinese are from the same race) is much different than not selling to anyone who has a Chinese gene.

The nation state you think China and the US to be doesn't exist.
We have no such moral obligation. Facebook is no better and no worse than a multitude of other companies that trade in attention and data. They've suffered an onslaught of bad PR lately, largely due to their singular success rather then being singularly evil or (on balance) harmful to the world.

A lot of this moral panic about Facebook's effect on society is just a projection of our general angst the democratization of media. A lot of our type of people, squishy liberal nerd types, cheered it on when it was starting, supposing that it will be an improvement over the status quo of pre-2010. Information flow will finally be free, and Evil Gatekeepers won't control it, that sort of stuff. Now that we've been disabused of the notion that this is a good development, we get all uppity.

Turns out your friends and neighbours always liked fake news, and always will. And so do you. Oops.
Sounds like he has a steady client that accommodates as many hours as he likes at that rate, and has done so for a dozen years.

I imagine he has covered his business development expense by now.

This is how I do it too, by the way. Long term relationships with good companies. It's more like contracting, but without the 40h expectations of a contractor. ( Unless I feel like working 40 hours in a given week for some reason).
I have definitely run into these problem with much smaller projects in both python and js.
This is the truth the way I see it. I don’t care if I have to go back to coming over a wood stove with a stick if it meant stopping China. The only area of concern I do see is they provide a lot of pharmaceutical with the chemicals they need and they would not be able to produce the drugs they currently make. As for the rest, I’ve lived without a cell phone for decades I would love to go back to suck a time. Is there any other critical industries reliant on China and for what?
You point out something extremely important here: the ability to share work with other people. Tool-use tends to promote or limit networked effects. If I'm the only one who can afford Mathematica in a given context where I collaborate with other people, then we won't be using Mathematica. Simple as that.

On the flip side: If I introduce a tool in a networked context, my enthusiasm may well end up converting dozens of other people.

I think Wolfram could have built a much broader and more stable revenue base if they'd dropped the professional licenses by roughly 1/10 and gotten a bigger user base.
I always feel these stories are nonsense, they no one can be that stupid. Then I think about the people I’ve dealt with over past 20 years. And I fully believe these scenarios.

The phones are terrible too, these days. I bricked a phone and lost access to all data on it by trying to back it up. Every Galaxy generation has gotten worse and worse in terms of preinstalled malware that takes a lot of effort and care to disable (if possible at all).

May I ask how you achieved this? I would be interested in that setup, maybe I could then get over the hump and start using signal (though I don't like centralized communication platforms, nor do I like phone numbers as identifiers). Last time I checked, signal required android or ios, so only usable with built-in spyware.

The creators have revealed that the script of "Disco Elysium" consisted of roughly 980 000 words, and the 2020 rework "The Final Cut" was apparently even more massive, roughly 1.2 million words [1].

Its lead designer Robert Kurvitz is an Estonian novelist, and the development team largely consisted of members of a "small but loud" alternative cultural association. Another member of the team is Kaur Kender, cult writer and literary enfant terrible of late 1990s Estonia. I think his books are a required reading for Estonian high school students. It's a game made by poets, basically.

I'm not a gamer, but I think the game (entitled "No Truce with the Furies" during early stages of development) was largely based on a sci-fi and "proper literature" mashup novel by Kurvitz that imo gained a somewhat cult following in Estonia. The book pays remarkable attention to detail, and it took him about 5-6 years to write.

I agree with you that one language will take the productivity you've gained in a later stage, but we would need to subtract the time fixing those bugs, as compared to the time spent on code to avoid them in both languages (one before and another later).

I'm pretty sure that a lot of people will be more productive with Rust as compared with C++ as with others will be the opposite. So i guess in by making an average over those two crowds, i doubt they will differ that much.

The sort of bugs Rust will avoid that are kind of hard to debug, giving it doesn't happen that often is the problem of shared state in a multi-thread environment.. the other kinds are often easy to spot in C++, the only difference is that they are caught in runtime.
Sure we can. It may hurt a lot at first but we'll get over it. Think about how hard it was to rebuild after WW2. This would be nowhere near that difficult since none of the west is a bombed-out ruin today and all of the west is made up of advanced economies with highly educated populations. Furthermore, there are developing countries (such as Vietnam) that are going full-steam-ahead with ramping up production, especially in heavy industry.

The ones who can't afford to be without China's manufacturing are big tech companies like Apple. Perhaps they will take a huge hit but it's hard to imagine them going out of business. I remember the Apple of the mid 90's and how close they came to going out of business. Now, with the enormous cash hoard and other capital they've accumulated, I can easily imagine them surviving for many years even if they were cut off completely from all their manufacturing in China.
I never thought I'd see a fftw reference again. I used it almost 6 years ago for a astronomy telescope data processing library, for convolution. I had no idea!
