> She oversells or perpetuates the anxieties that make people think they need her

Maybe she is not a good lawyer, but she might make an excellent therapist. A successful therapist at least...

As someone not from the US this sounds outlandish for a renowned faculty. Disregarding the dynamics of social capital that gets into the focus in exclusive facilities, it looks like a room full of children from the outside. Like high school 5 reloaded that I only know from US B-movies targeted at teenagers.

That said, I don't believe this story to the fullest. People in university are mature enough to set boundaries, that should be even more pronounced for law students. The victims seem to be career opportunists. This seems to be an unresolved problem for Yale and this reads like teenage fan fiction that justifies some form of power shift to other people until the process is repeated. That article doesn't answer a real question, it proposes entertaining rumors.
So that's how much his life is valued.
Thanks for the article! Just to nitpick:

> Moreover, the protocol has been audited by a third party.

Some implementations have been audited, unfortunately far from all! There's a lot of things to audit and/or improve related to privacy and security in the XMPP ecosystem: i would personally recommend to read this FAQ: https://joinjabber.org/faqs/security/

> Also, on this page, you can track the progress of OMEMO integration in XMPP clients (applications)

This is true, but based on estimated progress not something measured by a test suite. For example poezio is marked 100% but i keep having OMEMO problems with it (not blaming the poor poezio-omemo maintainer who's working on it alone mostly).

> Only the nickname is displayed if you participate in a group chat or a channel (here, the XMPP extension called MUC, the acronym for Multi-User Chat, is used).

Except for the room operators! The MUC server admins have access to all addresses, as well as room admins. Also, some rooms are public in which case everyone can read everyone's address (like a mailing list).
A transatlantic effort to take on Big Tech
And I should mention that I very much support repeatability and reuse. However, as a father of a young kid, I don’t have anywhere near the spare time to even contemplate doing something like this. Hence, I need my hardware to “just work” (for my use cases) with minimal annoyance. That’s what I value about the MacBook Pro M1 Pro.

No, you can choose to use MPV or Mplayer. The default is MPV too IIRC (on Windows, as the parent comment mentioned).
For myself, I tend to avoid dependencies that I didn’t write.

I use a ton of my own packages. Most of my published work is stuff that I developed for my own consumption. I publish them as standalone projects; complete with tests and documentation. Doing it this way, vastly improves the Quality of my work. It’s a pattern that I have been observing in highly competent engineers, for decades. I make these packages available for others to use, but don’t really care, whether or not they use them (which is good, because very few people use my stuff).

I think, in all my projects, I only use four external dependencies, and two of them are in an experimental project (one, being ffmpeg, and the other, a simple built-in Webserver package). A third, is a paid extension, in a “semi-experimental” project (a SOAP library in an ONVIF driver). The fourth, is a keychain wrapper that I use in a couple of projects. It is something I could write, myself, but appreciate not having to. I think I might use VLCLib somewhere, but I'm not sure if I have published it. I know that I played with it, at one time.

If I do use an external dependency, I check the code, and the author. I don’t do a full audit, but I make sure that it is well-written and maintainable, in case I need to pin/fork it. If they offer it as paid, I’ll often use that option, unless they are asking a ridiculous amount (in which case, I’ll find another option). The presence of a paid option is generally a sign that the developer is serious about supporting their library. I will check out the author. I tend to look for experience and competence, as general qualities.

If I find issues, or have requests, I’ll communicate with the author, through their preferred channel (like GitHub issues). I try to be respectful and polite.

I do use a number of StackOverflow-inspired (or other sources) snippets. When I do that, I never use the code directly, but take it apart, and put it back together, in my style. I also reference the source, in my headerdoc comments. I always make sure that I completely understand the code.

I only have one project that I authored, “go viral,” and I have turned it over, completely, to a very capable team of folks. I no longer have much to do with the project, and that’s by design. I”m very glad that it took off, as it helps a lot of folks, and I’m extremely grateful to the team that adopted it. I trust them to be good stewards.
You mean it will be squashed?
Tokenization typically means that a third party keeps an association table, though it is possible to generate tokens cryptographically. Homomorphic encryption is something different again, though you could call this structure-preserving pseudonymization homomorphic as it preserves certain structural properties of the input data. It does not provide the same security guarantees as FHE though as the structure preservation weakens the encryption. For pseudonymization this is a tradeoff that can be worthwhile though.

And that's exactly why it's not worth it to keep your data on such services. Someone can make an unsubstantiated DMCA claim and in most cases your account will be taken down automatically without even any human verification.

T cells from common colds cross-protect against infection with SARS-CoV-2
Nice summary - with apologies I’ll nitpick - I am not aware of VITTP from mRNA vaccines. (Edit - I dial this back - I see the piece in the paper where they mention the case series from mRNA vaccines)

I think (I guess the audience of a scientific paper is more general a scientific audience) that it would be nice if there was at least a comparator paragraph to the risks of actual COVID disease.

Molecular mimicry is to me the most likely mechanism of the whole thing, and we keep finding out new ways COVID is damaging people down the track - this recent paper (below) shows a reasonably scary rise in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes in those less than 18 with a recent COVID infection.

Terrifying.

Then by your own admission the protocol itself is not the ponzi, but the speculation on top of it is. This can be true for anything which has a market price, and you've ceded the point without realizing.

Also keep in mind that The Bitcoin Network has a quantifiable measure of value and therefore not all trading of it can be labelled speculation, whether you agree on that value or not.

> In a lot of cases I think natural arguments are correct. Our environment has changed far more than we have in recent times.

Precisely because we can adapt to that environment by means other than evolution. If you think something is bad/good, you need a real argument for it, not just "we did it this way before".
It's a lot of content though. Basically every movie/TV show these days is DRM encumbered either in the streaming app, cable box, the download file or on the disc. Besides some indie stuff the only non-DRM video content I can think of is OTA TV which for me is a whopping 3 channels of not great stuff. Even movie theaters are technically DRM encumbered these days.
But you can get COVID after vaccination too? How exactly does your argument sway someone either way? Just saying that both the disease and the vaccine cause the same side effects is not much of an argument…

I think a far better question is "have you drunk any water in the last 2 hours"

Most of the time I think I'm hungry, I'm actually thirsty. Take now for example, I've just eaten lunch and a coffee, but I'm feeling like I could really do with an apple (I had one for breakfast). I suspect that's because I'm dehydrated rather than hungry.

Instead it's the other way round (have you eaten? If yes, drink water)
Questions like "Are you feeling anxious/depressed/depersonalized" would be better if accompanied by a list of symptoms for these states. For example, when someone feels depressed, they don't always feel sad, which is what most people associate with depression. They may feel anhedonia, a reduced interest in activities they used to enjoy, or a decreased ability to feel pleasure.
Again, maybe this is just me being disingenuous, but I'd disagree - while your examples may be used as a time sink, I believe there is definitely a difference between scrolling on tiktok, and watching math on youtube. You're probably far more likely to use and improve your brain and its critical thinking skills.
I don't think the crypto market as a whole is resilient enough to withstand a Bitcoin cliff drop.

Alright, time to start committing `node_modules` to my git repo. It'll have the added benefit of reproducible builds.
It's not "cross-platform" at all, since Docker builds on Linux containers. For example, the Docker applications for Windows and macOS just run a Linux VM behind the scenes.

AFAIK you can't run Windows binaries using Docker, even if you're using Windows, since it's running in a Linux VM; likewise for macOS binaries on macOS, Solaris on Solaris, etc.

> Even when side effects do occur, they can typically be treated using the standard protocols for each condition.

But most of these conditions don’t have great standard treatments? For example, auto-immune conditions are “treated” by taking immunosuppressive medications indefinitely.
Aspirin works as a painkiller, but it is not appropriate for regular ingestion as self-medication if you don't know what you're doing. It can be used sparsely for relieving pain+fever or pain+inflammation (IF the inflammation actually needs to be treated).

Paracetamol is a much safer option with almost no side effects, as long as you stick to the daily limits.

> there are hardly any fundamental differences between humans and other animals

This is a compact and ex post facto unsurprising list. Primates, social mammals, domesticated mammals and certain birds. The line between us and social apex predators (cats, dogs and certain birds, all of whom our ancestors allied with ages ago) are blurry. The line between us and most species are stark.
I’m sorry to hear about your issues.
With respect, I’ll take a stand against your claim of there being a tsunami of patients with vaccine injuries innundating rheumatologists - I am in the field and continue to ask colleagues if they are seeing anything of the sort and no-one has seen anything like this.

However, if it is happening, we will surely see it in the data. Australia is almost fully vaccinated (but also more recently vaccinated than say the US) so maybe what you’re saying is still coming, but I think it is important to remain skeptical of large numbers of vaccine injured until there is reasonably robust data
Have you ever read an open source license? Most of them have something like this clause “ THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR..”

> What came first, the chicken or the egg?

This one does actually have a definitive answer!

Evolutionary, there has to be an ancestor to the chicken that is not a chicken itself. It doesn't even matter where exactly you draw the line - it just has to exist.

At some point in time, a genetic mutation occurred during fertilization, resulting in the very first chicken ever. Which of course started out as an egg.

So there you have it - the very first chicken of all time started as an egg, laid by an animal that was not a chicken.

Thus the egg came first.

Thanks you for this thoughtful response. I chose to be vaccinated and unfortunately have suffered serious consequences like a very small number of other people will statistically. It's been pretty disheartening to see that sharing anything negative about vaccines, even those warned about by medical officials, leads to very negative reactions from people (being told to shut up, being censored/downvoted online etc). I honestly no longer discuss why I'm sick or why I can't do certain things with friends or co-workers.

If they don't understand, then should they have ever invested at all? Just a stray though of mine, but usually "don't invest in what you don't understand" is a pretty good principle to live by.
The other issue not mentioned are the reported post-vaccine reactions where the person previously contracted Covid-19.

Q-Vax (registered for use in Australia only) vaccinates for Q Fever and has strict pre-screening to avoid vaccinating someone who had already contracted it.

Maybe I’m the one misreading it, but isn’t the author saying that the reason to avoid dual-licensed (e.g. AGPL and commercial) software is the paperwork burden for the commercial license?

Going with your Google example, I think there would be no issue as Google would not be using the software under AGPL, but under a commercial license instead.

I guess it will take time since these conditions can take time to manifest or be diagnosed. I really hope it proves to be a rare occurrence.
Thanks for taking the stand here; generally new laptops are fast and especially the M10 max seems like a nice rig that beats some desktops for some programmer workloads. Maybe even many desktops for most programmer workloads, IDK. But besides not all programmer workloads being equal, desktops also compromise high end platforms like your sTRX4, and those are a little bit different.

Also, I'd like to add memory constraints as an example of workload inequality: The M10 max only seems to support 64GB. Good for many, but would be a huge draw back at my last dev job. The problem could inherently use huge amounts of memory, and exact memory usage was not always predictable. Especially for those colleagues which did a lot of work for customers, changing one parameter could mean coming back to a OOM after the program run for a night (or longer). Thanks to 128GB this became much rarer, but the for the type of program at some point the only viable option to safe memory is to accept a worse result.

I’m curious how much of this increase can be attributed to suicide? If I recall correctly, suicide rates for children ages 5-11 are up dramatically from pre-pandemic levels.* I can only imagine that the increase is the same or even worse for ages 18 to 64.

We’ve tortured and hindered the youth of this country to protect folks age 60+.

Children are struggling academically due to a lost 1+ year of proper education. The reading gap in 1st-3rd grade is real and documented. And the lingering mental damage … well, we’ll have to wait and see, but it’s not looking good.

*to be fair, they were increasing at a worrying rate year over year pre-pandemic

That mostly depends on the will of the regulator, technically these systems are mostly ready. The NuScale 50MW modular reactor has now gotten its safety approval [1,2 - interesting to see how Popular Mechanics claims to "like nuclear technology" while the Scientific American article shows the more negative attitude "green" proponents usually espouse ] so it is a step closer to reality, what remains is mostly more rounds of approval and certification. In the UK Rolls Royce is working on a larger (440MW) [3] type of modular reactor with a stated goal of having them up and running in 10 years, building at a pace of 2 per year. Russia and China are also working on this type of reactor, so is Argentina. The IAEA has a technology roadmap for the deployment of small modular reactors [4] for those who want to read more on the subject.

To answer your "less than 15" question succinctly: certainly, as long as the activists are kept at bay. Possibly, if they are allowed to roam free to wreak havoc. Probably not if they are put in control.
