As long as there's some population left continuing the practice, if it's beneficial and can be proven (and the cost benefit is what people consider to beneficial), then it can and will come back. Breastfeeding rates dropped to 28% in the 1970s due to various reasons. There's been a resurgence for many reasons.

> Not really, because those people are worried about an immigrant minority, not worried about an immigrant supermajority.

That is, most definitely, what some people are worried about, whether there's any validity to that worry or not. Have you never heard the "poor immigrants have so many children that they'll outnumber us soon" racist statements? That are just an extrapolation and extreme version of that thought.

> You would do better to look at the same example in the opposite way: immigrant parents worried that their children will become native English speakers and lose the family language and traditions.

I did look at it that way, in my original comment.

Hey,

That's quite possible, for sure. I am not beyond/above/below being phished like anyone else, ha!

The issue -- what makes it perplexing -- is that I haven't used this LastPass password since 2017. I know because this LastPass account was only used to share passwords within an org that I left back then.

Is it possible that I was phished 4 years ago, and they sat on the password? Sure.

But 2 other people in this thread being phished from the same exact same phishing server/group?

Or we were separately phished using different techniques, and now one Brazil server attempted to use all of our logins?

That's what's rather strange.
> The web is an application platform, it stopped being about documents years ago.

No, it's both. The problem is people not knowing which type of site they're creating and making an app when all they need is a page.

Except for when those custom controls fail to implement all the features of the built-in ones, as the article details from various popular sites, at least back on 2016. But maybe at the end of 2021, all custom stuff is fully accessible and reimplements everything.
I argue to the contrary that it's quite disappointing to see features developed without referencing previous work. The annoying "Actually, so-and-so" is really just a symptom of the general lack of citations.

Maybe it's possible to design a language de novo without being aware of previous designs in the space, as Zig seems to be doing, but it seems quite dangerous - one wrong step and you've locked in a bad design. Whereas using proven designs (as Rust claims to be doing in their FAQ) is at least making use of some form of validation.

Well, we mightn't have to resort to "excess death" statistics, were there not such aggressive campaigns to ensure that COVID deaths are not reported as such.

But here we are, and now that we have imperfect statistics people can discount them as useless.
Roughly equivalent as in they have very similar object model and each construct is trivial to convert into the other. each is just a fancy for with new scope, blocks can be replaced with local functions, etc. They don't have anything that's not a trivial transform away (like for example: tail calls, callcc, macros, compile time transformations, ...).

I mean, you may prefer one of these:

foo.each { |i| ... }
for i in foo: ...

but after fixing up the scope issues, they're the same thing.

It just sounds like you are dedicated to underestimating the cost of airports and overestimating the costs of railroads. Boise is admittedly an extreme example because of its isolation, but it is within practical HSR distance of Salt Lake City, Portland, and Reno. Can't see why you'd need a transfer for any of the above. Anyway air service Boise-to-Reno has no non-stop option, either.

This is a very common mistake people make with California's SF-LA HSR. They say it costs a lot. We should just build airports. But they don't seem to know that airport capacity sufficient to provide as many trips as CAHSR will be capable of providing is estimated to cost over $300 billion, much more than the entire rail project.
And exactly how is silent wraparound useful or even sane for that use case? You just proved the point of the one you responded to.
There's no such thing as too old.

Not everyone agrees "excess deaths" is the ultimate variable society should optimize for at the expense of all other variables.
I read this coming from a very different background (secular), but I've seen a lot of these issues around me too. Especially among people raised MO (the chasidish and litvish have similar problems, but frame them differently).

for what it's worth, 18forty has done several discussions on these themes, and they resonated with me: 18forty.org/rational (in particular, with Shmuel Phillips. Their discussions of OTD and mysticism are also very relevant.)
FWIW running a service who's job is to send email, I have found that GMail is one of the best providers to send to. They strongly value domain reputation and are popular enough that it was quick to build up a basic reputation. Now my messages are rarely flagged as spam even coming from a Digital Ocean IP address. I just rely on DKIM.

This is in contrast to Microsoft which seems to rely mostly on IP reputation and trying to send from a new server is incredibly difficult as they (reasonably) treat unknown Digital Ocean IPs as likely spam but (unreasonably) don't allow a good domain reputation to override that.
Ex-Pocket users that have since moved to Alfread would disagree with you :)

years ago I went further and created a full web app to manage/track. it could manage email templates, send out emails with link tracking, had some ways to keep track of opportunities, let me keep multiple versions of a resume on hand, etc. Was moderately useful, as years before, I'd done 'spreadsheet' stuff, and that was painful. 3-4 weeks, 120+ outreaches, very few replies, etc.
I think this doesn't reflect the standard spectrum of usage for the term. For instance, if you look up "atheism" in Merriam-Webster, the second definition is:

"a philosophical or religious position characterized by disbelief in the existence of a god or any gods"

By that definition, a rock is not atheist since it has no philosophical or religious positions (ha, I hope so, at least).

Honestly, I'm a little confused by your very strict understanding of the term, as I think people often (as above) use this second definition; and most people would find your statement "a rock is atheist" a little unusual.
I wonder if you could use a modern system to "evolve" C64 6502 machine code until you got the result you wanted.
This was the number thay should have been used all along in the western world. The excessive deaths were very high in Q2/Q3 2020 that warranted stringent lockdown. However starting Q4, the excess deaths have started to reduce and has significantly minimzed across the world in second half of 2021. Its most likely because of vaccines but the acquired immunity due to infections are also likely a cause. There is no need for any restrictions from a public health standpoint as excess deaths are now significantly lower likely with the expected error.

EDIT: the post was primarily about western countries with reliable data and vaccination records

Don't forget people that delayed treatment for things like semi-urgent heart issues out of fear of covid (or who couldn't get treatment because hospitals were filled with covid patients).

> Also in terms of human years lost, the lockdowns are far more damaging at this point

It's hard to calculate because of long covid, but there is a point where in aggregate, restrictions have cost more time than lost time from premature deaths.
LaTeX is free and it is open source. That alone explains its wide use in academia, where money for paid software like MS Word and knowhow for managing software licenses is often not available.

You could probably make a similar study comparing Mathematica/Wolfram language against Python with a similar result. Still academia will always prefer Python, because it is free and open source.

I have found that pneumonia is apparently broadly misunderstood by a lot of people. (It's an inflammatory issue in the lungs, usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection. It is not it's own type of virus.)

We had some family friends that refused to get vaccinated. The wife contracted COVID and then died a few weeks later. When we asked the husband if he was going to get vaccinated, he said no. Because COVID is no worse than a cold. He explained that his wife died from pneumonia, not COVID.

I have seen this repeated a lot when it comes to cause of death. Reports can show things like cardio pulmonary arrest (which means your heart and lungs stopped) complicated by COVID and heart disease or whatever. And then people go away saying well, COVID didn't kill them, it was a cardio pulmonary arrest ... and they had heart disease...

It's amazing how much you can convince yourself of if you want to.

I recently started to fork webkit to make it a Webview with a reduced attack surface. [2]

The most interesting part was the Quirks.cpp file [1] that contains literally randomized css classnames inside the web browser code because a major website was so shitty and spec violating in their implementations.

I mean, fixing a website in a browser source code...this shit got out of hand real quick yo.

The problem with all those drafts is that Google keeps doing their own thing, and others are forced to try to catch-up or implement the same bugs/quirks that chromium does. Everything is rushed so QUICly that even Microsoft gave up at some point. And at some point in the past google realized that they can own the web if they own the Browser. And that's what they effectively do now, because the competition isn't really a competition at all anymore.

Don't have one--it depends on the current situation that could likely affect my area. And if I did have a preference, I would re-examine it with each new significant piece of information. In general, both public health and freedom are important, and as necessary impose mandates on subsets of the population (e.g. healthcare workers). May not seem fair from certain points of view, but I don't believe in optimizing for fairness--having everyone pay equally. Some will be more affected by random events than others. This view could get tested if a far more dangerous variant was headed my way and my tune would be vaccinate everyone using the best we have access to. I really don't see this happening though. Requiring proof of vaccination for sit-down eating, entertainment, etc seems fair enough and a good incentive along with lockdowns when rates are high that could be less often if more people were vaccinated. So far the reports have been nothing more than 'fear news'. Have there been any stories lately about a variant that is both severe and spreading?
I recently heard an experienced psychologist claim that in 30+ years of clinical practice he had never seen anyone "get away with" anything. I was surprised by the statement. This would be Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment universally applied. The psychological consequences of actions we take may be so deeply embedded within our DNA that they become almost impossible to escape.
> I’ll be honest, having spent time reviewing the data for the better part of two years

I’ll be honest, having spent time reviewing your comment for the better part of two minutes, I'm very skeptical of your conclusions. You seem to have started with the assumptions that lockdowns are more damaging than COVID, and then cherry picked the data you've reviewed to fit that.

My personal opinion is that lockdowns were a reasonable public health measure to deploy in 2020 when other public health measures were unavailable, and not enough was known about the risk and dynamics of the virus. The evidence of their effectiveness seems to be mixed. And (my personal opinion again), they aren't the right public health measure for 2021/2022. But to say lockdowns were "far more damaging" than COVID, or even came close to the direct harm from COVID simply isn't supported by the data.

How long do you want the country to isolate itself from the rest of the world? Your view of managing COVID seems extremely conservative.
00:37:27: Lex Fridman Well I don't like the word misinformation because you know again back to the soviet union, anyone who opposes the state is spreading misinformation. So you can basically call anything misinformation. That's the unfortunate times we live in is you can call anyone, you can basically call anybody a liar and say I'm the user sole possessor of the truth. And just no offense to me. Just because you wear a tie, it doesn't mean you're any more likely to be in the possession of the truth and anyone else. So
00:38:03: Albert Bourla I wouldn't disagree with that at all. I don't think that somebody who's not wearing a tie. And as you can people can see that I'm not wearing a tie and you are but it's not about uh huh being able though that they have the power two to impose on the others the stigma that you what you're saying is missing formation. But there are few things that the society we have accomplished and science is one of them. And data Is an analytics of data is another one. And to say that something which is highly scientific by people that they are not scientists. I think that it is not what you're describing, what used to happen in the soviet union or in any other autocratic regime in the world right now.

Might as well ignore Powell.

>Oh, god whispered what in your ear? Markets will rotate, fundamentals and speculation move in cycles…I see the patterns of Powell child, give a tithe…

From my perspective that is true but only in the current system and not because it's certain, it's because the system doesn't even work. What's worse is that e.g. Bitcoin isn't even an alternative, it's just the same system but more aggressive. It's like someone understood that the gold standard has always been a lie and now they take the option of lying out, completely ignoring that there were good reasons for those lies.
When currencies fail, people just try the old system again with predictable outcomes. No wonder people start believing in the certainty of market cycles.

It's entirely plausible that all of this will be over with a different system, perhaps for thousands of years just like in ancient Egypt.

Precious metal currencies have a track record of failure spanning millennia, somehow the Egyptians with their primitive grain money figured out something we didn't as their financial systems survived for thousands of years without crisis. Fiat is slightly different, in the sense that the rules are arbitrary and therefore could be written in a way that emulates the success of ancient Egypt.

I agree that as a community diversifies beyond a single group a referendum will give a more generic answer.

It works well so long as you are like the group. I think subreddits are a good way of focusing on a topic.
On top of that, missions are heavily incentivized (in an "our success depends on this" way) to solve only the problems they absolutely need to solve, due to constraints on time, budget, and manpower. It's an incredible feat to achieve what they do, but reuse and non-specialist use are non-goals.
