I feel like this app gives the illusion of higher-fidelity data than it can really provide. It gives a temperature reading for any pixel I select, but appears to be interpolating from a relatively limited number of real-world data points.

I live in the flatlands near some mountains. I can look at one of the websites that show data from personal weather stations to see that the temperature is 15 degrees cooler up on the mountains. But windy shows the temp there being the same as here. I figure it’s just averaging the various locations around (but not on) the mountains. Better data exists, but they don’t seem to have it.

I love the blinking cursor; the only time i have reason to revile it's existence was with the late Terry Davis' Temple OS.

Though with a quick Kernel patch you can slow it down. I just know that if the cursor blinks faster than what we are used to, I find it causes anxiety and is greatly distracting.
So interesting! Any pictures?

Assuming they'll agree to work for them. I imagine many of the people who hold the secret sauce (especially from TSMC) wouldn't work for a Chinese company. I was surprised they managed to hire a former TSMC executive to head up one of the (now failed) companies.

Then again, there may be no "secret sauce" in the way we usually think about it. You might have to hire hundreds of people from an incumbent to pull in enough institutional knowledge to get things going. And even then it's not going to happen overnight.

I feel like the right people to hire, at any rate, aren't the executives. You need the right engineers, scientists, and researchers.
What I immediately noticed was how easy it was to read the article’s “dark mode” presentation.

Normally with very dark background and white or light gray or yellow text, I quickly develop weird persistent white and black ghost rows which eventually make reading very uncomfortable.

Even in ye olde days working on green on black CRTs I was uncomfortable.

Somehow the green and purple colors on the dark background are easily readable and leave no temporary burn-in on my eyes. This is amazing and wonderful.

Sadly, it isn't always up to the people who design the schemas.

For example, Iceland has very restrictive naming laws:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_law

> Parents are limited to choosing children's names from the Personal Names Register, which as of 2013 approved 1800 names for each gender.[20] Since 2019 given names are no longer restricted by gender.[21] The Icelandic Naming Committee maintains the list and hears requests for exceptions.

Israel apparently demands first and last names:

> According to a law from 1956, a person should have a first name (more than one is permitted) and surname (a double-barrelled name is permitted).

Finland is, apparently, worse than Iceland:

> The Names Act of 1985 requires that all Finnish citizens and residents have at least one and at the most four first names. Persons who do not have a first name are obligated to adopt one when they are entered into the Finnish national population database. Parents of new-born children must name their child and inform the population registry within two months of the child's birth. The name may be chosen freely, but it must not be

> a name used primarily by persons of the other sex

> a name foreign to the naming tradition in Finland

> a surname, except a patronymic as last given name

> a name already used by a sibling, if this is to be the only given name.
I think you're overthinking the problem. Doom has a really deep view-bobbing motion along with a slow and deep, not quite in sync weapon bobbing motion. There's no looking up or down, crouching, leaning or in any way not looking directly straight, and Duke Nukem 3D which had all of those things never seemed to bother any of my friends like Doom did.

I've always assumed it was the view bobbing/weapon bobbing combo, though maybe I'm the one underthinking it.

It is a lot of money here. The sad thing is that very few people here can pay for cancer treatment. They're literally playing lottery because if they have an expensive medical emergency, there is never adequate health insurance. Most people have to do a fundraising drive to get money for stents and things like that.

What I found was that there is proper healthcare here, but it is all out of pocket. Only accessible if you can pay for the oncology drugs from the pharmacy that imports it from the US.

Otherwise you form queues waiting and waiting for the government to get hold of the drugs (it almost never does) and waiting for them or repair their radiation machines which are always broken.
>I just want to say I am glad pro gaming took over.

Yes! I have been crying about latency for nearly 10 years [1]. Computing has always been optimising for throughput. And before Pro Gaming, there just hasn't been a marketable incentive for companies to work on / minimise latency. Now we finally do!

Even in the best case scenario, the lowest latency is still 25ms, and in most cases we are still above 50ms. I think it is worth posting [2] Microsoft Research on Input latency. It would be nice if we could get average system end to end latency down to sub 10ms level. Which is what I hope work on VR will bring us.

They're not accidental.

They stick a metal rod, that's been frozen in liquid nitrogen, into the piggy's heart.

This kills the heart cells.

Then they stuff the piggy into an MRI machine and take a picture of its heart -- because an alive piggy's heart beats and makes the picture blurry.

Then the scientists get a pretty picture on their computers and high-five one another.

Success, they all think: "mission accomplished. Funding secured."
> Why, in 2 years of this pandemic, have we not devoted the resources to expanding bed capacity and staffing hospitals?

When have we ( assuming you are US, forgive me ) ever devoted resources to anything other than the military industrial complex and tax-cuts for the rich?

We don't HAVE resources. We have already scraped out every piece of public spending and public works program out of our budgets.

You expect us to be able to just scale back up after systematically disassembling our university[0] and medical systems over the past 30 years?

OK, we increase capacity. We save a few people, so what? We are running a BUSINESS HERE. We can't have any extra capacity, that would cut into profits! Plus we are still low after paying $600 per insulin shot last month.

Besides, haven't you heard? Everyone made a killing off the pandemic! It was great for business! BCBS posted 2 billion in profit last year! Don't worry your little head: Our healthcare and technology CEOs didn't have to sell their private jets or wait on buying that new yacht they have been eyeing.

This is what neoliberalism looks like. Every drop of blood drained out of public spending, so we can reroute it to whoever gives our senators the largest bribe.

> is that value of a different type than a foo constructed by X 1.1

I encountered this case once, and they are considered to be different types (in my case the issue was that using v1.0::foo with v1.1::foo traits wouldn't compile), so either keep them separated or pick one. Error messages can be confusing though, if you don't suspect using two versions.

> Here's a quick one: every building under 3 stories must have two independent egress mechanisms, for every story taller they must have one additional egress path per story.

In that case they would just have to ban buildings over three stories, no strange egress requirements needed.

That would in turn get tested against state laws.

No doubt there are plenty of anti-density regulations on the books, like cities with minimum lot sizes in the SF Peninsula, but it would be challenging to pass those regulations now in California.
So systems in these countries should just be built without any regard for foreign names?

There isn't really a working excuse for a broken schema.

Just have a blanket 'name' field.

The name someone wants to be called and their legal name isn't necessarily the same, either. If you're writing normal software, you shouldn't really care about these legal provisions. I guess you'd want a 'Billing Name' too in most cases.

VAERS is AEFI reporting, right? You have to account for the base rate and stat sig when you analyse that data, be warned.

E.g. if 100 people walked out the door and had a heart attack the next day, you need to understand the base rate of heart attacks to know whether 100 is high, low, or normal. Then you need to put that number in the context of statistical significance, e.g. p < 0.05 means an up to 1 in 20 probability that your data is there by random chance, and if you look through all the AEFI data you'll analyse much more than 20 types of adverse event, so you'll most likely find an adverse event or two that looks statistically significant but fails to replicate in any studies.
> Cryptocurrencies, in general, are not in fixed supply.

Cryptocurrencies, in general, are not all valued the same. And why stop at crypto—surely the same reasoning would apply to USD supply inflation, if you're just going to lump all (crypto-)currencies together as a single good?

Sure, you can introduce new types of coins or massively inflate the ones which don't have a fixed supply, but that doesn't impact (for example) the limited supply of bitcoins. The overall effect is mainly just to devalue the inflated coins relative to other currencies.
I like where the developer leaked the private key of the signing authority:

https://github.com/william-fields/witless/commit/dc4a429b721...

The problems with this 'witless' proposal is that we have no way of auditing the supply, and politicians will betray the trust of the users by debasing it. Also, we have no trust anchor with the 'official witless key', which presumably should be considered compromised in the above commit.
It also seems to depend on the file hosting services of a large software company for distribution of its public keys.

The problem with these straw man arguments is they often miss the entire point of the technology, and folks read them and walk away without understand exactly the problems the parodied technology solves.

This does have some humorous points, but generally leaves the reader with a confused and incorrect view of how both the USD and cryptocurrencies work.
I wonder if they were playing both sides, ie getting a ton of money from China and TSMC to just lead them astray :)
We’ve applied to YC for ten years straight with Qbix Inc (https://qbix.com) always filling out our latest progress and achievements…

We always got rejected!! I can share the application, if interested.

Actually, we never wound up raising VC. We did get a bunch of friends and family, and angels, made around a million dollars in revenues, and reinvested it all into the https://github.com/Qbix/Platform - an open source alternative to Facebook et al. Got 10 million users in 95+ countries to download our apps in the stores, translated the apps into 15 languages, and spun out another company called Intercoin.

We’re on the east coast and children of immigrants, so we didn’t have a strong network. Maybe that has something to do with it.

I guess the stuff we’re building (open source, decentralized social platforms) just isn’t exciting for VCs, who would prefer we focus on one application, getting a hockey stick and not giving away the source code. But we wound up “building things people want” and then some… the David Heinemeier Hansson / Basecamp way (anyone remember his lectures about not taking VC?)

PS: Okay, well… NOW it seems funds like Alexis Ohanian’s and Polygon team up and have set aside $200MM for decentralized social networks, which we probably have an 8-10 year head start on everyone else with.

PPS: In 2018 we spun out https://intercoin.org (much better looking site) same approach but in the Web3 space instead of Web2. Once again, people who throw money at NFTs and memecoins all day long wouldn’t give us a dollar. They at least considered us and told us our goals were too big. We still ended up raising over half a million dollars, but from individual angels who care about things like social impact and universal basic income. All the code is at https://github.com/Intercoin

Should we apply to YC again? We like YC, but it doesn’t seem to like us…
I don't agree with the general sentiment on this. This seems like a blatant attack to me. He went out of his way to deliberately sabotage all of the projects that depended on his. I have a few open source libraries (admittedly, not very popular) and I'd never do this. Even if I am giving the project out for free with an MIT license and are not liable for any damages.
Cool, thanks. It worked but I have never seen the format before. Any reason for not using a standard format? Just creative license?
Well, you will never know until you succeed or give up.
Not just companies, but the Russians were pissed after China copied some of their jet military tech. They were angry enough that they stopped supplying them with military jet turbine parts for awhile, which really tripped things up for the Chinese because they can't produce their own at the same level (they can make fast, they can make economical, but they can't make both yet).
Morally, it would make sense for content creators (the creator and owner of an image, say an Onlyfans model who took a selfie) to be able to flag a picture for removal if they decide they don't want it to be shared anymore.

Technologically that would be very difficult to implement and guarantee, but I'd imagine they would rule in favor of the creator in that case.

I don't think a user should be banned or penalized for sharing said image since they may be unaware the model is trying to retract it. But no reason not to try respecting the creator's wishes.

1. Corporations get twice the labor at roughly the same cost.

2. Shareholders benefit.

3. Men suffer from lower purchasing power and more competition in the workplace.

4. Some women - those who would prefer to be housewives - suffer from having to join the labor force.

5. Other women - those career-oriented - gain equal pay, less discrimination, more opportunities, etc.

Just as with everything in modern US culture after the failed Occupy Wall Street movement, the upper class (1 and 2) wins another battle while disguising its warfare on the lower class (3, 4, and 5) as a win for social progress (emphasizing the benefit in 5).

In short, it brings nothing good to the average family, but you'll praise it anyway lest you want the reputation of being anti-woman.

Is Intel's & TSMC's spends comparable, though? They are both already executing at very high scale, so further investments need to be pretty huge to be worth it. A new upstart could likely start smaller. Not too small such that you can't develop any economies of scale, but significantly smaller than either Intel's or TSMC's planned operations.

I have Fi currently; definitely recommend it.

Internet Access - err... it works? I am able to stream Netflix and YT without being locked to 480p.

Coverage - it's basically TMo coverage.

Cost - Fi is a bad deal if you plan to use a lot of data. It's almost 10$/GB (in the worst plan) or around 70$ for an "unlimited" plan, however it can get cheaper with a group (https://fi.google.com/about/plans/) . For me, its a great deal; I'm always close to a WiFi and rarely need mobile data. My bills ended up being around 25$. I'd say Fi's killer "feature" is it's international roaming charges... though I doubt that will be useful anytime soon :')
That doesn’t seem plausible.

Non-medical interventions were also employed during the 1918/19 flu pandemic, also in the US. In fact, when things like school closures were initially discussed people were literally looking up old data from the 1918/19 flu pandemic to see what, if anything, we could learn from the non-medical interventions back then.

I doubt that we would have been able to create a vaccine (as quickly) in the 70s or 80s. Our knowledge about corona viruses wasn’t there yet and we also didn’t have plausible easy technological paths towards a vaccine.

So that would have sucked a lot. Really, a lot. Given that I think we would have necessarily accepted more deaths – but it would still all have been quite annoying since you really don’t want to run your hospitals at 110% all the time even if you are willing to accept all the deaths.

It’s just that now vaccines do provide a good solution with dramatically reduced deaths, hospitalizations, even (though much more limited) spread. Which makes it all the more frustrating that people aren’t taking advantage of that.

So I’m not so sure why you think that if we miraculously had an effective and safe vaccine for a novel pandemic corona virus in the 70s or 80s we there wouldn’t be mandates. Seems quite in line with US and overall Western tradition.
