I'd say a wealth transfer from the poor to the wealthy. Inflation + restrictions has dramatically exacerbated inequality, as have the expectations we put on the working poor - leave home to deliver my food etc but don't you dare enjoy yourself. It's a coincidence that this also corresponds to transferring from young to old people.

Overall, if you have a big house, country cottages, and lots of investments, you got a lot richer in the last couple years. If you live in a small apartment and work a low skill job, you have to keep doing that, for way less pay after inflation, have to find a way to look after your kids at home, and can't go outside except to work, because "we're all in this together"

The whole episode has been a serious step back in human equality
So this is the business Enron was in? I can see why it can be so lucrative now.
I wonder if one could design open source replacement electronics for an off-the-shelf printer. Keep the mechanical, replace the electronics and the software.

(I'm assuming any moderately successful open source firmware-only effort would motivate manufacturers to start using some kind of "trust management" garbage in future models.)
If they are not going to do it then they can just have their lawyers draft and issue a public, legally binding statement that they will not.

Since they are not going to do it anyways, they are no worse off, and the customers get a legally binding guarantee resolving their concerns, and it provides just cause to the good actors in Microsoft management to head off or remove any elements besmirching Microsoft’s reputation.

Sounds like all wins to me and it is what any B2B contract with Microsoft would do (well in the contract rather than publicly) if they wanted that guarantee so it is not even a particularly novel legal request.

Totally, when you start optimizing over multiple time steps it gets way more difficult. You can essentially solve a single time step by hand.
Were I to grant what you say, it is /still/ a load of anti-social, dystopian shit flung against the wall for FOSS devs to scrap off (if ever they may), keeping them from doing something more advantageous.

You only condone the poisoning of the well because you take for granted the pro-socially minded developers willing to sacrifice their time and effort to draw clean water for you.

Same goes for me. I get tired when a book is practically a boring walkthrough of the user-facing API of a language. So, I look for something that actually makes me do something fun with the language that is being taught.
Isn't that what the right of bear arms is for?
OK, thanks for pointing this out.
Selective Gaussian blur or hq2x are examples of image filters.

Font hinting is an example of a nonlinear downscaling though most people don’t think of it that way. It preserves line sharpness, which is a non-bandlimited feature since lines are infinitely sharp = made of infinite frequencies.

Overly sharp linear filters produce artifacts like blockiness and ringing; nonlinear ones would try to avoid that but you could still get more difficult ones like moiré.
Should we also stratify by Relation to risk, and how do we enforce this ? Also how would policies stratified by age/health work? Only unhealthy or old people need to mask when they go to the store filled with unmasked, Covid-spreading young people?

> One point that I disagree with is his almost axiomatic premise that decentralization is an inherent good and the implication that the Internet went wrong because it failed to stay decentralized.

But isn't decentralization one of the points of crypto and Web3? It doesn't matter if Moxie agrees with decentralization or not. If the direction everyone is charging in is "decentralization", and it's not really decentralized, then it's a movement that isn't heading where it thinks (or where it claims). That's still true, regardless of what Moxie thinks the direction should be.
> That a person alive now is expected to die in the past?

This seems an uncharitable interpretation. Instead, I expect that the value shown is the "expected age of death" - "current age", which if your current age is beyond the average results in a negative number.

FWIW and as you note, this isn't the most useful result since alive people can't die in the past unless we accept some sci-fi premises.

> The correct method

While we're on the topic... More correct? Many factors that would improve the prediction weren't collected and used but a better prediction would take those into account.

So... Yes, your suggested method seems more useful and accurate yet I wasn't going for that goal so much as noting that it made sense to be that a lazy/naive/PoC/first implementation might get a negative result using exactly the formula above.
I think the Marie Kondo fad is overblown and might be a result of 1) excessive need for direction/hand-holding in all aspects of life and 2) the west's weird obsession with anything Japanese. That being said, Marie Kondo herself does not espouse minimalism. Personally speaking, having fewer things has contributed to better mental health, although it obviously is not true for all people.

>I think more like 5, although the government might start slowly, like only preventing non-TPM devices from accessing "sensitive" online services, e.g. banks or anything that requires a payment.

if that occurs, is that really of microsoft's doing, or of the government and all the other companies that are complicit? I can plausibly imagine a future where microsoft stays its course (ie. it doesn't lock down the x86 platform), but companies still force you to use locked down devices by forcing you to use mobile apps to do online banking. You already sort of see this with messaging apps, where a few (eg. signal) are mobile-only.

That depends. If we're talking a manned service mission, then distance is a factor as it would mean a several month trip using current vehicles.

That being said, and I haven't done the math, but I think a Falcon Heavy and Dragon could do it at least in terms of delta V; although there are numerous problems with that like the fact that the dragon doesn't have a proper airlock for starters.
It was like that before the pandemic, TBH. We tried to get counseling for one of my kids for suspected depression and it was a complete shitshow. Therapists and psychologists were booked out for months and unless you were actively threatening suicide you could not get anyone to pay attention.
Wait, is it 2004? What year is it?
In the context of the school, yes it does.

If you're in a school: you're catching omicron, and unless all of the students are wearing at least PAPR hoods all the time, everybody is catching it. Allowing yourself to get worked up about seeing a kid with his mask down in the bathroom is insane.
I get the gist what the Cancel Culture is. But the site's UI isn't intuitive on what does "x" in red and "check" in green means. Does 2 x and 1 check means that the person got 2 downvotes on cancelling?

1. There should have been and were lockdowns early in the pandemic. Once vaccines were available teachers should be ready to teach, just like every other worker that interfaces with people. At least teachers see the same people every day unlike grocery store clerks.

2. It's low risk to almost ALL children. The hospitalization rates of children have been around 1 per 1 million at peak infection periods. This is no worse than other diseases and doesn't prompt a special response.

3. Please present evidence of long term effect in a non-negligible percentage of children

None of these have any requirement on some TPM specification. A government can already do as much invasive monitoring as they want, either by forcing citizens to install MITM root CAs[0] or generally requiring invasive identity checks when people sign in, or just limiting what privacy-invasive devices are even allowed to be sold at all. Banks can already go "lol no web frontend for you, go use our mobile app". And neither Visa/Mastercard nor their bank partners are going to allow such strict restrictions that'll surely reduce the amount of impulsive purchases people can make, and you forget that every online payment is already hard tied to your identity via your bank / credit accounts.

This is only really true for insurance purposes - for stuff like red light cams, the tickets are invalid if you weren't the one driving (which is why some newer ones snap temporary pictures of people in the driver seat in case they end up running the light).

I disagree, the goal of therapy (should) be to make the patient more self-efficacious, NOT about making them happy or instilling the right mental gymnastics to feel OK about their situation. The more self-efficacious a person is, the more likely they are to figure out what is causing them problems and find meaning in their life by rising to the challenge and organizing action with either themselves or within their peer group in order to deal with their situation that causes them and their peers distress. A depressed, non-self-efficacious person will be less capable of figuring out and making plans to deal with situations that cause them distress.

Would a mentally healthy, self-efficacious population be more or less likely realize their problems and organize collective action to correct their situation?

I'd say elixir hits this really well. We're managing a huge project with lots of painful, legacy code that should probably be chopped off, but it's not godawful to maintain. I'm currently in a situation where we have some code hasn't been improved, so every night while europe sleeps I console into the container, hot-swap one module with some copy-pasted code, trigger a sync, and then kick the container so the sync code gets reset. Given our limited dev resources (there is a dev on staff that would be the fastest to fix it without having to learn a ton of business logic context but he's being resourced to other higher priorities now) to solve this problem, It's not the worst (this is honestly one of the least painful 'options' for managing this situation)... I mean, it will be awful if I have to do this for two months, but at that point, that's not a PL problem, that's an org problem.
Masking is fine! Prolonged shutdowns aren't. Anyone who wants to go to work should have been allowed to, others are welcome to isolate.

Special times could have been reserved to allow the elderly/unhealthy/fearful to go shop and take care of themselves. (Costco senior hours?) There are a lot of options.

T-types are defined as those that increase a team's agility. Saying the definition each time would be cumbersome,so we package the connotation up into an idiom and move on.

I am saying while 40-year-old model is likely accurate by skill, it was luck 50-year-old model produced similar results to 40-year-old model. The reason is aerosol. Agreement of multiple models doesn't invalidate this because all 70s models didn't include aerosol.
It is not clear to me why serendipity is more likely in quadrant IV than any other quadrant. I feel as if I am not understanding the definitions.
Of course nothing that happened before the pandemic could have contributed at all to any feelings of hopelessness. The absolute despair required to want to "end it all" just suddenly happened because of this one situation. The constant 24/7 barrage of "doom and gloom" and just general insanity in the news and "social" media couldn't have laid any groundwork for anyone to feel like there's just no point in even trying to live anymore…
Yeah maybe by fall 2020 you could have expected better preparation. On the other hand, I think people kept thinking it would go away over the summer, or we'd just reach herd immunity. I think very few people in summer 2020 thought we'd still be mired in this in 2022 with no end in sight. None of the previous virus scares, SARS, flus, Ebola, Zika, came anywhere close to lasting that long.
Way more people forget about (or aren't even aware of) isanother step beyond someone's infection - the externialities of covid measures. With the trillions of dollars lost, depression, suicide, businesses closed, undiagnosed and untreated illnesses, family feuds over the politicization of covid, delay in children's education and development, and countless other facets, it's not a stretch to say that the damage done by the policies is often worse than the disease. Public officials only care about the single tunnel vision metric of body count even if the cumulative damage of their policies is far worse, and ends in more non-covid deaths and the decimation of countless lives and livelihoods.

When has there been a prolonged shutdown? I am in one of the heights of the Covid epidemic and we only shut down once in early 2020. Schools are still in person now at the height of omicron. What’re you talking about?
I’ve been using iCould Private Relay since it came out on my Mac, iPad, and iPhone. I’ll say I agree for the most part it is seemless. There are times where websites will slow down or fail to load, and loading it in Firefox will work right away. I attribute this to still being a beta service, so I don’t mind too much.

I’m still curious how they plan to handle abuse. If someone is using the relay to upload illegal content, is there some mechanism for the 2nd relay operator to report that back up to Apple? They say they check that an Apple account is in good standing but how would your account go to a bad standing? Or is it up to law enforcement to subpoena information from both companies to connect the dots?
> > Both Windows and macOS are approaching the iOS security model that depends on manufacturers blessing what software can run on their products, and banning software they don't want users to run.

> That's been said for years, and hasn't held true.

It certainly has. Unsigned binaries were recently deprecated entirely on M1 Macs. Microsoft even released versions of the Surface that can only run Windows and only run apps blessed by Microsoft. With each iteration on these products, the screws are tightened a bit more.

Software freedom is not just about being able to run Linux. Most Mac users buy Macs because of macOS and its integrations, running Linux doesn't help them out. Software freedom on macOS definitely does, though. As it stands, that freedom has been chipped away at with new releases of Apple's software and hardware.

For example, I'm the author of several open source utilities for macOS. Users had no problem using the utilities a few years ago, but because they're unsigned or not Notarized, macOS tricks users into thinking that they're either broken or malicious. Even self-signing the apps has macOS treating them as if they're radioactive. Users don't understand the scary signing and certificate alerts, so they end up thinking they've downloaded malware. The solution to this is to pay Apple $100 every year, and then regularly have them scan and approve of the apps via Notarization. That's antithetical to software freedom. Regular users who want to use un-Notarized software are left frightened and without having their needs met. Software freedom is important for everyone, not just developers and power users.
Nice article.

If you're referring to my comment about drivers, then I'd like to remind you that a large amount of work done on the Linux kernel is paid, and isn't performed by volunteers.

And as for those that are volunteers, I don't take them for granted. I regularly donate to various FOSS projects. Related to this context, I'm currently a patreon supporter of marcan42's port of Linux to the M1 Mac, and have donated several hundred euro to OpenBSD over the past two years (not including donations from my hosting provider openbsd.amsterdam, which I'll plug here).
The matrix is also confusing, why is cooking lunch not urgent once it passes it passes. It should be in the urgent but not important quadrant (unless hunger is getting in the way of being productive, then it is urgent and important).
I didn't say people are good at sniffing out lies. I said that people are better at sniffing out lies than they are at sniffing out good intentions between those lies.

I'll phrase it another way: When you tell a lie, some people will see through it and some people will believe it. Of those who see through it, some will believe you had good intentions for lying, and some won't. These proportions all vary depending on the exact nature of the lie and the audience receiving it, but it's virtually always the case that [see through the lie] > [see through the lie AND believes it well intentioned]

Or put another way: Every time you tell a white lie, you burn your own credibility because some people will see through your lie and won't be inclined to excuse you for it.
