Have you heard of Apple?
There was huge backlash even when this super high cap was passed. The initial idea was that the market will regulate itself, thus no cap is needed.

The small detail they let out of the equation is that the taxpayers will have to bail out the market if it does not regulate itself.

And boy did we pay for nice ceo bonuses that spring.

I had a closet full of clothes that I mostly didn't like. Now I have one pair of clothes I wear almost every day, and one backup pair for laundry day. I love every item I have. This is much better for me, and I don't smell bad. I suspect most people don't realize that I'm always in the same clothes.
Exactly this. Just google "infrared images of space", it's all false colors but still incredible pictures.
I remember that hope is available to those who need it. "There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn't."

Essentially every negative situation has a positive side to it. The trick may be to train your brain to identify it, and then you may gravitate toward thinking about it more once you have learned to see it.
Read the [Hissp][1] tutorials (find the docs). It shouldn't take a Python dev too long. It will deepen your Python knowledge and give you a gentler introduction to the world of Lisp because it uses the familiar Python vocabulary with Lispy syntax and then introduces macros. After that intro, and given your JS experience, you should be able to pick up ClojureScript without too much trouble.

Doesn't Ferdi just put everything into an embedded browser and call it a day? I may be wrong here as I used it for a brief stint, but that is basically what I picked up from it.
> Should teachers be sacrificing themselves?

I want to directly address this one - I think the answer is yes. I still get in the engine and answer 911 calls. My wife still goes to the hospital and attends patients. Why shouldn't teachers go to work?

Sure, some teachers are old and/or have health issues, and even with vaccination might be at unreasonable risk. Those people need to do something else (sure, with a lot of social support) and let people who are willing and able to do the job take over. The purpose of the educational system is not to coddle teachers.

The virus is endemic. Whatever happened to "keep calm and carry on"? My grandparents experienced far worse than a virus with a sub-1% fatality rate (and a tiny fraction of that with a couple jabs), and they still sent their kids to school. Let's just accept the danger and move on.

> 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.

Isn't this largely what happened in the US? Vaccines started to become available in early 2021, but generally only to health care workers and the most vulnerable. It wasn't until around April that they were available to most adults, with the mRNA being by far the most available. If you jumped in as soon as they opened up general availability it would be early to mid May before you were considered fully vaccinated (Two weeks after second shot).

That's near the end of the 2020-2021 school year.

And remember, that's for people who got vaccinated soon after general availability. In a lot of areas demand was outstripping supply, so it could take a couple weeks or more to actually get an appointment.

By the start of the 2021-2022 school year, everyone that wanted to get vaccinated could easily get it for no cost and very little effort, so in-person school has been very widely offered.

Y.T.’s mom pulls up the new memo, checks the time, and starts reading it. The estimated reading time is 15.62 minutes. Later, when Marietta does her end-of-day statistical roundup, sitting in her private office at 9:00 P.M., she will see the name of each employee and next to it, the amount of time spent reading this memo, and her reaction, based on the time spent, will go something like this:

Less than 10 mm. Time for an employee conference and possible attitude counseling.

10-14 min. Keep an eye on this employee; may be developing slipshod attitude.

14-15.61 mm. Employee is an efficient worker, may sometimes miss important details.

Exactly 15.62 mm. Smartass. Needs attitude counseling.

15.63-16 mm. Asswipe. Not to be trusted.

16-18 mm. Employee is a methodical worker, may sometimes get hung up on minor details.

More than 18 mm. Check the security videotape, see just what this employee was up to (e.g., possible unauthorized restroom break).

Also think of angles. At 100m your drone is looking down, in basically the same direction as a satellite. But during those few seconds when you takeoff/land your camera is probably pointing sideways, a perspective that a satellite cannot replicate. Rather than simply a higher resolution, those few seconds at low altitudes give a very different perspective on an object. If you want to see the underside of a bridge, to determine if its support can handle tanks, you won't get that information looking down from 100m. You will get it looking sideways from 2m.
The entire concept of our "education" system is bankrupt. The very idea of keeping an entire age of children in lockstep across multiple subjects regardless of ability stifles actually solving any issues. Why would you expect the very people who perpetuate this injustice to even conceive of a solution let alone implement it?
I found an article on the Mirror from 2015 (picture below). Their muzmatch logo and heart seem to have a similar font and heart placement when comparing to what Google gives for the current match logo. In present day, muzmatch seems to use a different font and a butterfly.

I'm not a trademark lawyer so I have no legal argument to make, but I dont think match is insane for wanting to have a court of law decide if this company has stolen their trademark.

OmgPop was a great games website that combined multiplayer flash games with a social experience. It's the origin of drawmything I'm pretty sure. Not sure why it went offline tbh.
“The match game” existed long before match.com. They did not originate “match” being associated with dating, the concept and terminology predated them by decades.
RCS is pretty meh technically and not widely supported, why would Apple take on the extra complexity? They can barely make their own apps work as it is.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a minimalist with a cheap Ikea coffee table and a 10 year old laptop. I’m sure some exist but for any that bother posting about it online it seems like an excuse to buy expensive things that align with the “aesthetic”. I barely own anything! Except this Herman Miller armchair and this 2022 MacBook Pro and this set of hand blown Japanese drinking glasses and this $2000 rug.

Your analogy doesn't really carry over. If McDonalds or Chipotle were called "Food" then imo it would be a dick move to sue a smaller restaurant chain named GregFood. (As to whether they would prevail, I have no idea.)
You conveniently miss one crucial piece of data that is already available. That is countries that had schools open for the most part of the pandemic.

I have families in western Canada and except early Spring and summer of 2020, schools remained open and are still open. They didn’t have much different outcome if not better than us in US.
I went to Texas Tech and made the pilgrimage to Ransom Canyon. I remember thinking it looked sorta like Majin Buu's house from DBZ. It's nice seeing that someone is doing something with the house, it's not like anyone knows what Bruno's final vision would look like and it was a little sad seeing the obviously unfinished steel house overlooking the lake.

I don't have much else to add, but it's fun seeing Lubbock show up on HN.

What's the proposal here, exactly? Should children be kept in hermetic isolation indefinitely to forestall the possibility of long COVID (at least, until a sufficiently infectious variant comes along that even the Ted Kaczynskis of the world get it)?

There may be ACE2 receptors in the brain but what has never been found in the brain so far is SARS-CoV-2. The spike protein crosses the blood brain barrier in mice, but you also get plenty of that from the vaccines which doesn't seem to concern anyone at all.
That’s not really true. Anyone who has ever taught a freshman physics class is a bald-faced liar. We are absolutely certain Newtonian mechanics does not represent our universe. Yet for some reason we do not assume physicists lack credibility, even though we know for a fact that thousands upon thousands of physicists are teaching an entire semester of lies.

The lies are useful for making good decisions, though. I offer the same. A simplification that does not quite represent reality, but you should 100% consider it anyway if you build a bridge, because it will save you a world of hurt in the future.

Apple doesn't sell apples or any other kind of fruit. That's my guess as to why Apple is an acceptable trademark for phones, computers, music (per arrangement with Apple Records), etc, but Snapchat's Spectacles trademark was rejected. The term for this is "arbitrary mark".

All these opinions aside, organizing my shirts in the style she suggests has brought much improvement to my morning: I can see them all and it has become obviously which ones I am not wearing, making them easier to throw away.
So, I can see that being a problem for kick starting the business, but what about private schools?

It seems like there are tons of them with tons of money managed at the single-school level of scale. Do they just have better software than the public schools? Are they not enough to support edtech companies growing to the size where they can compete for the government contracts? Something else?

> Someone having the vaccine also doesn't increase the risk of someone else dying. It's pretty simple.

This is a non-sequitur. I ask the reverse: how do I help society by vaccinating? Judging by the contemporary info out there -- I don't in any way or form. I don't reduce the spread and I won't reduce my symptoms because I got through it 3 times without realizing and only the first time was bad (and it was before the news of the pandemic even started so I couldn't have known; and there were no vaccines back then so I had no choice).

Your reply is not helpful.

> Simple statistics show that the risk of dying by taking the vaccine is significantly lower than the risk of dying from covid.

So it's okay if people die of taking the vaccine but it's not okay if they die of Covid? Got it, thanks.

"Smaller percent" is a very inhumane way of looking at it. You're counting lives as if they are rice grains. You should be ashamed of yourself. People still die, regardless of percents.

It's IMO understandable that many elders in my country decide against the vaccine because in many of them it evokes a severe immune response that carries an actual risk of death on the same day. Do you just write them off with "they are a smaller percent than Covid deaths"? How humane of you.

Your response is shockingly insensitive.
I feel the distinction is that match is common term for the industry in which the trademark applies. Whereas Apple is not a common word in software except to mean that particular company.

I dont think I can call my company "Software" and then sue anyone that uses the word software in the software industry. I feel "match" is similar to trademark of the word Dating. I am sure a trademark attorney can enlighten us. I am guessing.

Obviously the trademark was granted in multiple jurisdictions for match so its not a problem apparently. I wonder what the rationale is.
Which is a great idea if we had a thousand small producers of roughly equal capacity. It’s a horrible idea (for the consumers) when you have 3 huge players and then some tiny participants.
To me the second most exciting idea about JWST is that it might give us fairly definitive proof that other intelligent life exists in the galaxy.

The most exciting idea is if that happens we'll realize they might have built their own version of JWST and proven we exist.
It’s a speech issue and the ability for private companies to exercise their own moderation is the free speech position.

A government forcing private companies to implement policies around speech is a violation of their speech.

My take on this is more nuanced and I think private companies wielding speech restriction is high risk, but people saying the government should step in are wrong imo.

Wow, off topic but why do the Dutch own so much farmland in America!? That's an unexpected one...

--

Ok, I searched around for a few minutes and this was the best answer I could find:

> Stephen Raes, economic minister for the Netherlands embassy in Washington, D.C., explained in an article in USA Today that the Dutch nationalized pension system is about 130 percent the size of that nation’s gross domestic product, thus making it the world’s largest relative to the size of its economy. That pension plan favors conservative investments, such as American farmland, he said, adding that historically Dutch immigrants to the U.S. became Midwest farmers all throughout the 19th century.

And apparently, they also own a fair amount of wind energy farms in the US.
> 105 children hospitalised with Covid on 27-Dec

With Covid. Not because of Covid. Most children at hospitals with Covid are incidental cases.

Also the long covid figure from children comes from self report. Given the hysteria in some children and some parents I would take this measure with a huge grain of salt.

The out of focus spots are an 'image' of the aperture mask. So they'll take on whatever shape the aperture has... not its physical shape, but its optical shape.

In an anamorphic lens the image is squeezed, so the effective aperture is squeezed... well, in most of them. There are anamorphic lenses with the anamorphic part behind the iris, and for those you don't get the oval shaped oof highlights.

Maybe not exactly relevant but I’m early 30s and Ive had breakout schizoaffective disorder for a year. It’s bipolar disorder and schizophrenia at the same time. And I have almost come to the point where I can’t live with it anymore in the past few weeks because the symptoms evolve over time. I just wanted to leave this here in case I do die soon. The hardest symptoms to deal with are the depression and anxiety. But the depression I have experienced is absolutely black. I thought I knew what depression was before but I didn’t know and I think very few people do know. It is difficult just to look at an object because there’s nothing in the object. Usually there are emotions and implications and ideas but you don’t know there can be nothing until you experience nothing. And that is such a huge lesson is that you are experiencing intense emotions all the time but you just don’t realize it until they are gone. When you sit back on the couch and have a feeling like you want to continue to exist, this is actually an intense form of contentment because it’s absence is an intense form of depression/anxiety. I am now to see these things clearly now because due to the nature of my disease the depression/anxiety come and go full force many times per day. And this is the ultimate lesson that I want to spread: nothing is depressing or sad. There is a dial in the brain that makes you content or depressed and the position of this dial is purely and completely independent of everything else including the circumstances of your life. There is a correlation between your circumstances and your mood but my point is that I know this absolutely to be true: if you could just stick that dial to contentment then everything would be awesome and it wouldn’t impair your ability to live your life fully or grieve properly or whatever. People think that depression is a necessary part of life. This is completely wrong and you could never know it unless you have experienced the literal insanity that I have experienced
Interesting perspective! It had actually not occurred to me to take a more general non-anthropocentric perspective and I'm grateful to know there's non-human sides to semiotics/notation to think about. TIL :)
What I'm curious about is why did we see so little effort to keep socializing available to kids without just going back to school? I'm not aware of a single place that made a noticeable effort to e.g encourage small fixed social pods to form, or run outdoor activities after school hours for the kids who wanted to be there, etc. Even among the parents who were basically fulltime campaigning to re-open schools for the sake of mental health, I didn't notice discussion of what they were doing in the meantime, and surely they were doing something.
But that's a good example of a high-risk/high-reward investment in research infrastructure.

The article mentions, for example, maintaining the group's build system and making project logos. Different in kind, no?

PhD students should not be recruited with the expectation that they will do devops, software engineering, and graphic design work. Or, if that's the labor they're doing, universities should maybe start paying them a fair wage for their labor.

Building something like genenetwork.org in 1994 was exciting R&D for the time. Setting up a CI/CD pipeline or making a project logo in 2022 isn't.
When you say you lie, your replies are from people who think that you’re being deceptive. I don’t think that’s true and I don’t think lie is an accurate descriptor of what you’re doing. You’re lowering the fidelity of a model you’re communicating. What you’re doing is tailoring your message to a wider audience. That’s not as dramatic of a description as claiming you lie to people, but I think it’s more accurate.

If you want to communicate reality, you need to understand your intended audience. Finding what to emphasize and what to simplify will determine whether people understand you.
But they did officially brand it—-it’s not just the idea of matching. One way in which this does have some real use is in protecting users. Maybe Match has some set of privacy values that people have come to trust, and by letting other companies who don’t share the same values co-opt the brand recognition, it can cause issues for users who thought they were protected by Match’s privacy policies.

Its unfortunate with teaching as I see it as an opportunity to extend the good values of research and problem solving to students (at least in the later years of a degree).

I guess it depends on how you view an academic institution, is it to produce good thinkers or produce good work, although similar seems like you approach it in different ways when approaching it from one way or the other.

I'm not even upset with professors, I think Assistant Profs do the most work I've ever seen anyone ever do, its absolutely insane the crazy workload they take on to get tenure.
> I feel the Economist is very behind the times on this and is actually one of the key magazines read by empty suits, who have been at the forefront of 'office theatrics' (a the print edition of this article was titled), for decades.

It seems to me that that isn't quite right. "Dark" just means no visible light, but an infrared or thermal camera could see stuff. The article above mentions this possibility and the problems, which are harnessing and operating at cryogenic temperatures.

> But the prevalence of performative work is bad news—not just for the George Costanzas of the world, who can no longer truly tune out, but also for employees who have to catch up on actual tasks once the show is over. By extension it is also bad for productivity. Why, then, does it persist?

Because I don't win as an employee if I achieve something. I win if my boss believes that I achieve something, whether I do or not. I win if the people interviewing me believe that I will be effective. Whether I am or not doesn't impact my compensation/career beyond my boss believing it.
