The Flare technology hardware designs seem unfortunately clever - the Jaguar was "Flare Two", while "Flare One" made it into a few arcade units and the unreleased Konix Multisystem. When the software that runs on that hardware tends to be rushed out for release, the design tends to be underused.

This lesson got relearned a few times by several different console manufacturers. The N64 was too elaborate; so was the PS3. Even the early commercial lifecycle of Amiga games consisted mostly of low quality Atari ST ports - and the Amiga design is much more "assistive" than "dependent" on its coprocessing, with the major features of the custom chips translating mainly to implementations of software functions in hardware, rather than a wholly different programming paradigm.

For a point of comparison, the final evolution of the ST line, the Falcon, had a programmable DSP. Released in the year previous to the Jaguar, this system proved to be capable of rendering Quake 2 levels, decades later. Would it have worked as a console? Probably not(a different cost structure applies to computers and this example was positioned at the high end), but a 1992 system that renders 1997 graphics somewhat competently is an impressive feat; this was the era when the transistor budgets became biased towards higher clockspeeds and the 18-month cycle of Moore's law was putting PC gaming through a "micro-generation" every two years.

I think you have to look at the client side of the power equation. Nobody in the government is going to stick their neck out because a few voiceless plebs may have got the wrong blood test results at Walmart.

If your client was a wealthy person or large corporation and you knowingly lied to them about the performance of your product or service which caused them damages, would you get charged?
FTA: “This case was specifically about what Holmes told Theranos investors, although her lies also impacted partners and patients.“

If that’s true, it isn’t surprising she wasn’t found guilty for defrauding patients, and more cases (¿maybe one focusing on partners and one focusing on patients?) could follow. I don’t know whether something like that is in the pipeline.

Edit: reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Holmes#Criminal_char..., that’s unlikely to happen:

“In February 2020, Holmes's defense requested a federal court to drop all charges against her and her co-defendant Balwani. A federal judge examined the charges and ruled that some charges should be dropped: since the Theranos blood tests were paid for by medical insurance companies, the patients were not deprived of any money or property. Prosecutors would hence not be allowed to argue that doctors and patients were fraud victims. However, the judge kept the 11 charges of wire fraud”

I think that leaves open prosecuting for something else than fraud for knowingly delivering unreliable test results, but wouldn’t know what that “something else” would be.
> Hard to make that argument when SA is one of (the?) wealthiest country in all of Africa

South Africa has about 20% of their population infected with HIV [1], given a total population of 60M people that's 12M people! We can argue about Western responsibility all day, but at the end of the day the facts are clear: large parts of not-the-Western-countries have issues with getting vaccines and/or with antivaxxers, there is no way that all these 12M people are on proper antiviral treatment, large parts of the population have already experienced COVID [2] (which is likely why the Omicron variant didn't hit South Africa hard with deaths despite the variant being discovered there), and we're sitting by doing nothing while the combination of insufficiently treated HIV positive people contributes to whatever comes after Omicron. And for what it's worth, it's not just South Africa that's a problem in that regard - poor living conditions in slums will also be a problem for the future. India was the likely origin of the Delta variant, and Brazil is suspected to be the breeding ground of P1/P2 (that were IIRC out-competed by Delta).

If humanity wants to prevent yet another deadly round of an immuno-evasive SARS-CoV-2 variant, we all have to contribute to eliminate poverty and inequality regarding access to vaccinations and medical care. Worldwide.

So I am an author who made significant money on his copyrighted works, and I think that copyright terms should be reformed (and mostly shortened) too.

My main beef with the long term copyright system is that it does precisely the opposite what it is supposed to do: it suppresses creativity by making it legally risky to derive works even from abandonware. Everyone discusses Cinderella, but IMHO the worst problem with long copyright is the huge, huge pile of semi-orphaned or utterly orphaned works that no one is legally allowed to touch, even though they do not make any money for their creators and heirs. This is a pure dead weight loss.

IDK how big this pile of untouchable works is, but I would guess that over 99 per cent of copyrighted works do not make even a dollar a year after some 20-30 years since their publication.

So my reform, that would actually consider the interests of both small creators and big corporations, would be return to the double-tiered system:

- every work would be in automatic, free copyright for 20 years,

- after that, the owner of the copyright would have to register the work in a publicly accesible catalog for a very mild fee (something like 3 dollars yearly). That fee would prevent spamming of the database by frivolous requests, but would winnow out works that are no longer, or never have been, commercially interesting for their creators. It would also make easier lives of other people who would be interested in licensing said work, because they would know whom to contact. This second phase could be much longer, perhaps for 80 years.

I would be happy, as an author, to subject my own works to similar rules (actually I release my texts much sooner.) And this scheme would solve the abandonware problem, returning civilization to its original way of building art - which is derivation from the earlier works.
> It is also clear that digital photography from phones is far from an accurate representation of events.

True, but if you exclude any evidence that is “far from an accurate representation of events” then we have no legal system left. Eye witness reports isn’t reliable, DNA evidence isn’t reliable. A case is built on the sum of many unreliable parts, and there a smartphone video or photo is at least significantly more reliable than eye witness accounts.

Twitter isn't real.
Twitter isn't real.
Twitter isn't real.

Twitter doesn't represent a valid pool of actual human thoughts and opinions, no matter how many accounts appear to be involved or how passionately they're smashing their keyboards.

Twitter is hot takes and outrage sprinkled with a little positivity now and then, but it's a tap into the most irrational and rapid fire mode of conversation. It's not reflecting real, considered opinions. Basing legislative or political opinions on Twitter trends is bonkers.

If someone's knowledge about a subject consists of their feelings and 280 characters, their opinion is worthless. The other 99%+ of people that either aren't on Twitter or choose not to tweet means that Twitter isn't real.

It doesn't mean that Twitter isn't useful or a valid source of data about Twitter users that tweet, it just means that in the context of public opinion in the real world, you're missing 99% or more of data relevant to the question.

They were at times more stupid than a gang of drunken teenagers in an 80s horror movie, not top class scientists, astronauts and soldiers. What I kept wondering is, what am I missing? Is this a cultural difference?

This is pretty common in cases where an existing ideology specifies that Z causes X. I assume that's true in all cultures.

You're right of course that given the same resolution, a Blu-ray will have a higher bitrate but to elaborate on what I was saying:

- The perceived streaming quality may match Blu-ray because the bitrate is high enough that humans can't tell the difference anymore. This is especially likely to be the case is the content isn't challenging.

- The perceived quality may be higher than Blu-Ray because 4K is available for streaming but not as a Blu-Ray release. So the comparison isn't 1080p streaming vs. 1080p Blu-ray but 4K streaming vs. 1080p Blu-ray. If you plot perceived quality vs. bitrate against each other for multiple resolutions, you usually find that it makes sense to increase resolution at lower bitrates than you might expect. I'd honestly expect that 16Mb/s 4K would look better to viewers than 40Mb/s 1080p. Plus, 4K is usually encoded using a more modern and efficient codec than the ancient ones we use for 1080p Blu-ray.

But note that I'm talking about perceived quality here. Higher bitrates might lead to higher computed quality metrics like PSNR and SSIM but past a point, those metrics no longer have any correlation to human perception and that point is lower than you might think.

Hm. When thinking about how pock marked earth is, I'm not so certain. Also space is dynamic. As I understand it, we only have a vague understanding of what happens in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuiper_belt , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hills_cloud & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oort_cloud and how the trajectories of objects therrin could be perturbed by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_planet s and the movements of our nearest solar neighbours which probably have similar 'clouds' of objects around them.

> So ban a huge part of the CSS box model.

Yes, why not?

While eliminating them is hard, the argument here makes perfect sense. We've all been fighting margins one way or another. One could even argue that negative margins are a symptom of the problem.

When you use negative margins you're pulling the element out of the box and essentially causing overflow. Does this fix the issue sometimes? Sure. Is it the best option? Maybe it should just be the exception.
The article's own title is "Margin considered harmful" and the body finishes with the sentence "Ban margin."

Well, how would you operationally define updated? Would you, as a traveller, be satisfied if it's no more than two days out of date?

How long does it take to check and update the information for one country? Let's call it 90 seconds when you have the routine in. (Maybe every tenth time you check you have to actually change something in your database and that takes 10 minutes, the rest of the time you change nothing and that takes half a minute.)

There are about 200 countries in the world, so updating them all takes on average five hours. If you only need to do that every other day, that's quite literally 10 % of your time to do manually.

Now it could probably be optimised -- some countries might not be as popular destinations, and others might not change their rules as often. This is data you get for free from the effort of maintaining it. You can use that to adjust frequencies and I'm sure get it down to just 3 % of your time or less. That's while still doing it manually!

Then if there are some places that are really popular or change really often, you can start automating the updates for those countries. Since they are the ones you'd spend the most time on updating manually otherwise, you can probably get it down to less than 1 % of your time.

But never forget to start by doing things that don't scale. You can get very far with a good manual process. Automate only when you have a good manual process and you've driven the last inefficiency out of it.
The mouse theory is interesting .... because omicron is more benign - one of the problems we have with covid is that because of all this modern medicine saving lots of lives (not enough though sadly) there's not a lot of evolutionary pressure to make things more benign.

But if omicron has been in a wild mammal population without vaccination or hospitals then there might be more evolutionary pressure to become more benign.

It's worth noting that some vaccines in the past have been 'live' vaccines - essentially viruses that get passed around with a sniffle or two but no more harm. This actually what we all hope omicron would be .... I can't see why we shouldn't give the virus a bit of a help along .... the right lab leak might be just what we all need

Look I don't have time to try to answer all this now I'll try to get back to it but I would like to make clear that I am not talking about Chinese people or people of Chinese race or ancestry here. I'm talking about China the country. There are brilliant people of Chinese ancestry who are responsible for many such innovations, many papers and inventions you see coming from western academia and companies have the names of Chinese people associated.

And nor do I say China has done nothing. They just aren't the infinitely-resourced borg that will end up overtaking everyone in everything that people seem to take as a safe assumption.
I couldn't not.. I had a fundamental desire to know how to make programs for the computer, it seemed like deep magic to child-me that there were these "things" that could exist in the computer, these worlds.. that were made of "something" and I wanted to know what this something was, the matter that comprised programs..

It took me a while to figure it out, pre-internet days.. I understood that there was BASIC, on the C64, but I saw many programs there which would LIST just as a SYS statement, and some number, and I could understand that that number was not the entire program, and so that there was something hidden "beneath". The machine-code..

So, maybe I was not motivated at all.. There were no external factors, it was and still is, an intrinsic need in me, to understand this stuff, and the world in general, though I fell into the computing rabbit-hole a long time ago, and have only reasonably common knowledge about the rest of the world.
In AWS, you can create everything under a Cloudformation stack, once you delete the stack, all its resources will be deleted automatically.

The problem however is all the beginner guides including those coming from AWS team themselves teach people to create resources via console without using a Cloudformation stack.

Sure 'technically' you could call support and have them setup an email address for the root account and then it wouldn't be rootless anymore.

But if you setup your child account with something that cannot resolve as an email address it is no longer a working root account and won't be until you contact AWS support. You cannot change the email address setting yourself either, you cannot login and you cannot 'assume' root either (as if it were an IAM user). So in essence: no root access for anyone.

Then you add an SCP to deny support access from that account (or the entire OU or all org child accounts) and it can't self-contact AWS support either for good measure.
Of the things you mentioned, income and geography is actually much easier to classify objectively than history and race.
