Browsers are resource hogs, and they mostly used to run antiquated JavaScript. Creating a responsive, nice-looking "OS" desktop in a browser is something akin to code golf. It's a demonstration of skill at least.
I think that the model is, somehow, irreparably broken. Remember that, when it started returning photos of black people in searches for "gorilla", they just stopped using it for "gorilla" searches.

My suspicion is that its been poisoned by some combination of an improperly-considered tagging process and malfeasance.

How is an international currency (or currencies) allowing direct peer-to-peer transactions without the need of middlemen or central authorities not a clear use case with a potential to improve at least some people's everyday lives? What's more everyday than money?
Covid Will Become Endemic. The World Must Decide What That Means

Heh. I grew up in Vegas. I mean, it's full of surprises. I always watched those people going down the zipline on Fremont and thought they were pretty silly, but I never realized they had to give their email address. Meanwhile around the corner behind the Heart Attack Grill, there's a man who will hand you an axe and let you throw it at targets for a few bucks, no questions axed. I miss the old America sometimes.
That’s true, my small city processes the waste from over a million people (they provide sewer to the suburbs) every day which is about the same as the number of Americans who fly. Plus they process all the other water that goes down the sewer from showering, laundry, etc. So just one small city is probably processing much more than all the planes in the country combined.

> Emailed a candidate at 3:00 scheduling an interview for 9:00 that morning because "the perfect candidate is always available"

Essentially he's selecting for unemployed and even "desperate" candidates.

This might seem absurd at first but some bosses do it on purpose. They know they cannot attract good employees (for whatever reason) and they select those who will work out of dire necessity and are not going to quit and be hired elsewhere easily.
I would like to read those. Could be fun.
How far is ChromeOS / ChromiumOS from what you described?
Probably the point I'd say, "I saw it but thought you were an ass, so I ignored your instructions. As an engineer, part of my job is cutting through the bullshit."
> what's the impact? Not this much surely.

Yes, this much. I saw someone explain this well enough on reddit, but I can't find a link so I'll try and paraphrase it.

Let's say you're a lumbermill and you run at 100 boards a day in normal times, with enough capacity to do 110 boards a day if you stretch. COVID shut you down for 3 months. You now have a 9000 board deficit from your normal production, with people lined up to buy the boards before you've produced them. Once you get started again, you crank up capacity to 110/day - it takes you 900 days - almost 2.5 years - to recover that original shutdown deficit, without accounting for any of the increased demand for your product.

This is roughly what other industries are experiencing. "Why don't you just make a new factory to increase your production?" well, it would take a long time to do that, would take a lot of capital, the shortages impact you too, and there's no guarantee that once COVID passes, demand won't go back down to 100 boards/day leaving you with a huge unnecessary capacity.

A simple example, of course, but this kind of thing is happening in some form or another in most industries, and will just take some time to work itself out.

Opps. I spelled it wrong.

It's DMG: Dot Matrix Gameboy. It's what the Gameboy enthusiast community calls the original Gameboy. The name comes from the model number:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Boy#Development

> The original internal code name for the Game Boy is Dot Matrix Game, referring to its dot-matrix display in contrast to the preceding Game & Watch series (which Yokoi had created in 1980) that has segmented LCDs pre-printed with an overlay, limiting each model to only play one game. The initials DMG came to be featured on the final product's model number: "DMG-01"

This idea relates to one of the key results in neural networks, where it has been shown that a sufficiently large single hidden layer network can approximate any function. (In essence a bunch of piece wise segments that can approximate the function along an interval.)
It’s not quite as simple as that.

First, it’s not certain that Omicron emerged in South Africa, but in another nearby sub-Saharan African country without the same resources. All of South Africa’s neighbours with the exception of Botswana (which Moderna was making pay an eye-watering $30 per shot) are reliant on external aid for vaccination.

So South Africa’s relative wealth is probably irrelevant here, and the argument about how insane the rich world’s refusal to help mass vaccinate the rest of the world is still applies.

Second, South Africa only hit uptake constraints in the past month or so, until then it was affected by serious supply constraints like those other developing countries experienced, with the rich world getting production priority. Price, too, was a factor with pharmaceutical companies refusing to provide doses at anywhere close to their estimated actual cost. As a result money that the South African government could have spent on more vaccination outreach and infrastructure, especially in more rural and poor areas, was instead spent on buying doses.

The long-standing supply constraints also meant that during a crucial time when public sentiment was more in favour of vaccination South Africa could not get enough doses to meet the demand and the delay allowed misinformation campaigns to wreak havoc. Had it been able to source enough supply in those crucial months, South Africa might have overcome a substantial portion of that hesitancy as people saw their friends, families, and colleagues get safely vaccinated.

Third, there’s also a point to be made about the effect of predominantly American anti-vaccine misinformation on social networks, especially Facebook and YouTube, that has had a massive impact on South African society and the willingness of people to get vaccinated. Researchers have seen the same in other African countries. Not sure how that in particular can be solved or dealt with, but it needs to be taken into account when trying to understand global vaccine hesitancy.
Refactoring isn’t rewriting for the hell of it. Maybe some do that, but the majority of the time, it’s to make things clearer, allow for better abstractions, etc. Letting cruft build up because you think rewriting is wrong is how you get technical debt.

Interview with CEO of Flexport: Supply chain crunch, modern logistics
This is nothing but projection. One of the reasons to be cautious about viral origin theories is how badly wrong they often are. When AIDS first appeared everyone knew that rampant gay sex in coastal cities explained both cause and spread. Later previous infections in the Caribbean kept the basic theory and changed the geographic profile. Only much later were we able to make a solid connection between HIV and bushmeat. This framing of the lab leak theory is essentially the same as people in the early 1980s saying the only reason to question the gay sex in cities theory was because of sympathy toward gay people, but the truth turns out to be both something else and quite relevant.

Right now we have the same option to get the origin of SARS-CoV2 completely wrong and waste a lot of money and effort while also hurting people. Wouldn't it make more sense to be cautious about the research based on previous experience instead of charging forward based on the idea that narrative fit is more important than science?
Hygiene isn't the issue. Butchering a wild animal and selling the meat for human consumption is inherently dangerous (at the societal scale) - even if you adhere to strict hygiene standards.

If Rust's your language, I wrote a library that should be pretty good at 2D things: https://github.com/logicalshift/flo_draw - I wrote it while working on another project (FlowBetween) where I found debugging would be easier if I could just render something on-screen but rendering stuff on screen always required a ridiculous amount of setup.

It has some nice options for feeding its own output back into itself as it uses streams rather than callbacks so it's quite good for procedural rendering type tasks (the 'Wibble' example is a good place to start with that)
And the best bit: non-technical co-founders usually seem to believe that they should end up with 98% or so of the equity, because after all, you're a mere technician.

>>I don't hear/see enough people turning their lives around or achieving the so-called "impossible"

Makes perfect sense because hard things are hard to do, I'd like to believe a lot of people quit mid way. You will never hear from them, those that succeed become the few exceptional cases no wants to believe in because, they can't imagine themselves taking all the trouble like the drop outs to get to where the exceptions are.

>>Basically the ratio of people striking gold to people selling shovels seems too low to me.

Yes that's exactly how its supposed to be.

Are you hosting stuff that you can access from outside of your local network? I was always a bit concerned about allowing outside traffic since I don't feel like managing security.

I've dealt with this by deleting all messaging apps from my phone, deleting all my socials, and not installing anything that isn't default to my phone. My phone looks like you just turned on a brand new iPhone. I only use it for texts/calls/calendar/email. Email notifs also turned off. Unsubscribed from netflix/spotify/x crap service and deleted their apps.

It's been bliss. I've been considering getting a landline and chucking this thing out the window as it is useless for me. After about 3 months I unlearned my old behaviour and can barely remember what I used to do on this thing 3+ hours a day.
> You don't need React for your landing page.

Stop this. Just stop it. If you're any company worth it's salt with a decent landing page, you're going to need things like internationalization, a contact form, maybe even a light / dark mode if you want to be hipster. How are you going to do form validation? Min / max length of message? Email validation? The list goes on and on... These things become 100x easier with a framework like React.

_Yes_, you can do this all with vanilla JS and HTML. But eventually you're going to make a mess. You don't have to use React either - many choice frameworks can help you with all these things.

My quick two cents about programming and writing is that to be great in either (and not just good), it's far more complicated than just a simple set of rules.
I fall in the "grumpy old fart" category.

But this isn't the fault of users, "normal" or otherwise; enablers don't make people abuse alcohol or whatever. Alcoholics who blame their enablers are deceiving themselves, and if designers try to blame users for their design errors, they are making the same mistake.

A lot of the crapness, AFAICS, is down to mobile. Mobile browsers and desktop/laptop browsers are different, and are used differently. And mobile browsers aren't all alike. Since most website hits are now from mobiles, designers are optimising for mobile, and then their employers stop the project before the desktop/laptop work is done. This really annoys me, because I'm too blind and fat-fingered to use a mobile as much more than a phone.

I think the crapness of the modern web[1] is going to eventually result in a rebellion. Like, the crapness seems to be snowballing. I mean, popups? What? I thought we got rid of them 15 years ago, because they were crap. How come people think they're now OK?

[1] The OP spoke of "todays's internet experience", but all he spoke of was the web. The rest of the internet seems to be working as well, or better, than it was working yesterday.
This is certainly the most interesting answer.
I'm talking about plastic breaking, fans dying, switches failing, etc. I only HAD to replace the washer and dryer, and the mismatched, second-hand units I got were still going strong after a decade. I asked the used appliance salesman if he wanted my old ones, for free, to refurbish. He asked what brand they were. I told him. He said no. Those models were THAT bad. But CR said they were the best on the market.
Can confirm. Anyone working in supply chain is now told to buy 1-4 year supply of as many of the critical chips needed as they can. It used to be all about how JIT could it be. When the whole chip supply chain shifts from JIT to “get all you can while you can” it causes the shortages. 2nd hand market is seeing astounding mark-ups.

Verification of what, precisely? That it's authorized for the domain it's on? This seems like a re-implementation of existing access control systems, with the same weakness of being vulnerable to being copied.

Unless you're somehow able to get everyone to transition at once, never support a non-NFT fallback and, ensure that no sufficiently visually similar logo ever gets registered... which IMO sounds both challenging and like a hacky re-implementation of a trademark system.

Large conventional farms can cover thousands of hectares with the same amount of labor.
To pick just one (!) nit here... you're off by a factor of two or more on particle size, and certainly off by a factor of more than two on standard deviation of that particle size. SARS-CoV-2 has a typical diameter closer to 100 nm than 300 nm [1], and a standard deviation of 60% of diameter would be exceptionally high for a spherical viron.

I think you are unnecessarily conflating hygiene with wild animal contact.

Even a perfectly hygienic butcher shop and wet market can transmit a new disease. Keeping it clean is good to reduce the transmission of common illnesses - but the genesis of a new disease can easily be passed in a clean market.

I'd be curious to hear what others think of Zoho. I'm not familiar with it at all, but from a quick glance it looks fairly robust with a slew of integrated platforms. Is it frying pan into frying pan, or is Zoho a true alternative with alternative values, privacy ethics, etc?
Some early comments criticizing some kind of caricature of a know nothing business guy spewing marketing buzzwords.

But early, cold B2B sales is hell and i have deep admiration for anyone doing it well.

By far the biggest risk of early stage startups is to build something great, that nobody wants. And in my experience the risk of that increases by a good amount with 2 technical founders.

Surely this would explain the initial supply chain shock.

But it has been two years, why isn't the backlog from the initial shock diminishing. I understand that supply is not elastic but two years should have been enough for the producers to ramp up the production.

Do they think that this is a temporary spike and building capacity would be unprofitable?
Dumb advice. Tons of people here have been in the exact same position and the advice given is super standard.
The whole reason they were working with chimeras is that attempts to culture the virus for gain of function research failed. Using the unproven lab leak origin theory to put a stop to research that wasn't actually being done is not reasonable or logical.
They would still be publishers. Just (more) irresponsible publishers.

I think the deciding factor should be business model. If you charge for access or place advertising beside the content, you are its publisher.
