My last sentence wasn't worded very well. I was speaking in a hypothetical context of someone having a mental issue revealed by drug use and some hypothetical person defending the drug as not being the "cause" of the mental illness.

My point was that the person who pedantically highlights that some drug didn't technically cause a mental illness is being anti-helpful. To go around and preach that XYZ drug doesn't cause mental problems is dishonest in any colloquial understanding of the situation, unless you state VERY clearly, at the same time, that it may TRIGGER or reveal underlying issues.

So, I was basically saying exactly what you said.

If you read my entire comment in one piece, I'm pretty sure it's clear enough that I meant that there's no actionable difference between "drug causes schizophrenia" and "drug activates latent schizophrenia" on an individual, human, level. Academically, it's a meaningful distinction, but not for an individual evaluating whether they want to try something.

Seems like Slack with its new features except for automatic transcriptions and tagging which are useful features of course but I don't see the team switching from Slack to YAC for just these features.

Also, they say it is to replace meetings and I don't think so. Many times you need to meet instead of countless back-and-forth messages.
Yeah, should have made it more clear that it's not personal.

But look at the other comments. Look at what zarzavat is saying below. "The burden is on the inventor" - and since he mentions microplastics, I'm allowed to assume he's talking about high levels of certainty and second order effects.

This has never been true in the whole human history. Ever.

This itself, this "being certain every innovation is 100% harmless" is a huge departure from how things have been done, and in itself has a huge risk. I'm not talking about not having shiny new cool stuff, or not having a colony on Mars. I'm talking about apples and apples - about this kind of meta-strategies just plain costing more lives than they save. Google "FDA delenda est", for smarter people than me saying that FDA was way too conservative in the pandemic.

Somebody said below that I'm mistaken about regulatory agencies delaying mRNA before the pandemic. We could of course try and get into the gritty details about what they delayed and why, but just consider one thing: Moderna had their covid vaccine ready in a matter of WEEKS. And it's the same vaccine we're using now. I don't know without googling when Pfizer had their first version, but I imagine it's around the same timeframe. Does this sound like immature technology? When two companies immediately come up with a vaccine when really needed?

What is more likely, that it somehow happened right now for god knows what reason, or that they were both ready to use mRNA but couldn't?

And people keep dying around us. Of Covid, of cancer, of dozen of diseases, not to mention plain old age. This is not about micro-plastics - it's lives vs lives. We have (all around the world) a much more conservative system than we need.
I don't think it is at all. It falls under the 'that which is seen' in Bastiat's original parable.

> I grant it; I have not a word to say against it; you reason justly. The glazier comes, performs his task, receives his six francs, rubs his hands, and, in his heart, blesses the careless child. All this is that which is seen.

What Stross does not say is that because rising sea levels are good for the construction industry they are therefore good in general. That would be an example of the broken window fallacy.

In most cases broken windows truly are good for glaziers, but that doesn't mean that we should break windows.

I wish the Expo team offered support plans. Its an amazing product and they now sell hosting, but support is something I would (have my company) pay upwards of thousands of dollars a year for.

When you get stuck on a strange bug or find something in the docs doesn't work as expected your only options are Discord and GH issues. Neither feels appropriate as GH issues are slow and you get lost in the noise and Discord is a sea of noise that you're never sure if anyone with serious answers may be able to help you.

We've built amazing things with Expo (now that you can run almost any native code you want in an Expo app) but support would be an easy purchase.
Miro (miro.com) or a similar virtual whiteboard.

Gather (gather.town) looks very promising as a tool for physicalized interactions, although I haven’t had a chance to use it for real yet.

Meeting formats that aren’t just people taking turns talking, but instead involve breaking up into small groups (Gather or breakout rooms) and collaboratively manipulating shared representations (Miro, Google Docs, Figma, Tuple).
I find it difficult to comprehend how much a risk they were taking. Documentation of some tests is publicly available; it's even mentioned that they found problems and had to partially redesign (and supposedly re-test).

If a bolt (or rather one quite like it) has been tested successfully 100 times in the expected conditions, chances are it'll work when needed, but I get a sense not all of those parts in the 300 single points could be tested that often (material cost, time, availability of sufficiently large climate chamber capable of simulating outer space condition). Were there actually parts too expensive to test even once? Is JWST sailing on prayers?
Sounds like we should get through that situation quickly rather than slowly. Everyone is getting this disease.
I get it. I’m asking what dynamic range you need for the completed production, and how much additional headroom you need when recording. I don’t think you normally would need 96 dB for the completed production, because that would be very impractical to listen to.

The stay at home orders worked because while the government couldn't "lockdown" individual citizens, they could lockdown just about everything else. During that initial period I stayed at home for most of the 2 weeks. Sure I could leave at any time but where would I go? The stores are closed, the gyms are closed, all public places are closed.

I went out a few times to drive on the empty roads but the only reason I went out was to explicitly drive, I wasn't actually going anywhere because there was nowhere to go.
I agree with everything you said.

My point boils down to it seems like there is ambiguity between the technical definition vs the actual practice and security requirements we've currently decided on as acceptable.

Somebody who uses base64 to "encrypt" into a database clearly did their job wrong.

A test question that says something like "True/False, encryption can be used to alter the original string into a different string" is true because it doesn't go into the details about the security that we all (should) know needs to be there. When we ask the question kind of backwards from the ambiguous meaning like this, I think we can get a different definition and end up with silly things that technically meet the definition requirement such as base64.

Anyway, my take doesn't really matter. It's more of venting how I always get stuck on easy questions in software dev interviews and end up losing out to somebody who uses base64 in prod to attempt implementing "encryption" to the database.
Thanks. Was it same person who also prescribed the medication?
The best indicator of what a person will do is what they have done. Someone who has spent a lifetime in a place is more likely to spend the next five years there too. Someone who moved recently is likely to move away when whatever advantage drew them in draws them out.

Enfranchising citizens is also a message to citizens that they should care about the long term of their country, state, or city. If the state will care about you and your posterity then you should care about it. Conversely, if the state won't especially care for you and yours then you don't need to care for the state.
Doesn't a urinary infection cause that?

For an indoor cat, I strongly suspect there's a problem with canned food sometimes. When I had a cat a long while back, every so often you'd open a can of cat food and it'd have worms, or the cat would (after being extremely excited as you were opening the can), sniff and propel himself away from the food. You'd look and notice it was off (like it had something crawling in it).
Human types "3" when they meant "2" versus shadowy US government agency has invented a completely new cryptographic protocol that everybody needs to use yet somehow escaped mention anywhere except this one document... Who knows right?

It is amusing reading the confused warblings of people who've been handed a mandate for something that doesn't exist. "How do I enable SSHv3 on this Cisco router?". We don't have many pranks in our industry, perhaps enabling SSHv3 can be our left-handed screwdriver or gallon of prop wash.
If something isn't a new proposal, but rather something that's been proposed and debated in multiple places, it seems kind of odd to automatically assume it passing somewhere is a conspiracy theory.

Regarding spacex in this, my starlink terminal recently hit a milestone of 0.00% ICMP loss to terrestrial ISP things in the pacific northwest. Averaged over 5, 6 hour periods. 20 icmp pings every 60s, basically a default smokeping install set to once a minute.

Previously it was running somewhere around 0.15% to 0.60% which was still totally usable... if you put a similar test setup on a noisy/oversubscribed coaxial cablemodem DOCSIS3 segment in a randomly chosen house in a suburb somewhere, you might also see an average of 0.50% loss in many cities.

For anyone who has seen packet loss, jitter and transfer quotas on deeply oversubscribed consumer geostationary services, this is amazing.

The next big thing will be to see if they can really get satellite-to-satellite laser links working so that starlink service area and coverage is not limited by having multiple moving LEO satellites in line of sight of both the CPE and a regional spacex earth station at the same time. for instance if people wanted to put a working starlink terminal somewhere really difficult to reach like socotra, yemen.
Maybe lawyers are just super expensive where I live, but I honestly wouldn't expect to be able to find one that could see this kind of case through to completion for less than $12560.

It looks like the dns name is just a convenience; it actually looks up the associated host key and uses that, not the hostname. So the attacker would have the private keys for the destination to make use of it; I think?
Does any other country have the same concept and size of contracting market as we have in the UK?

Here you go to a website such as Jobserve, type in eg “React Contract” and apply to one of thousands of daily rate contracts. (Inventory is a bit low today due to start of the year, but will be 1000+ in a few weeks.)

After a short interview process, typically you will start a contract for 3-6 months, but can often stay for years. The processes by which contractors are hired, onboarded, paid etc are very mature.

In London in particular, many developers will go down this route in order to earn higher rates. There used to be tax advantages but these have been eroded over time.

“Disguised employment” is absolutely rife so the model is under constant attack by the government with our terrible IR35 law.

This is a very common model in the UK. I have only met a handful of “freelancers” here winning their own B2B business, but have met thousands upon thousands of contractors using the above model.

To answer the OPs question. In England you simply start applying for contracts posted publically online. The hardest part is typically that permanent employees need to give 1 month notice, whereas people want contractors to start in 1-2 weeks so you may need to give notice before having a contract in hand. Pull this off once though and you are away.
Elon Musk’s college pal: What ‘differentiates Elon from the rest of humanity’
Came across the post on Google when searching (out of sheer curiosity) for algorithms for generating tiled wallpaper-like patterns (as in real world wallpapers and upholstery).

This was a truly enjoyable read and such a well written article that I immediately thought others here would appreciate it, so thanks for writing it!
Yes, I believe the main difference comes down to the US FDA (Food and Drug Administration) being slow and hidebound about approving rapid tests, with the result that the few manufacturers who got through the whole arduous approval process have been able to reap near-monopoly profits.
Good point! The carboniferous era must have been a hell of a time, wish I could have seen it.
the difference now is that we have practically no limit on the amount and speed of information, such that we can generate fear and garner complicity much quicker. had we not had such a consolidated mediopolitical machine, the mean/median response probably would have been to treat covid like a serious flu: trying not to get it, but not generally panicking over it and going about our business more-or-less as usual, as happened in most places for the spanish flu 100 years ago.

we should have focused our mitigation efforts only on the immune deficient (elderly, obese, other diseases, etc.), not everyone, as the optimal approach.
It's really weird how people responding to me keep talking about distrust in the US government, when I was talking about distrust in the medical community.

I hate when people bring up VS Code in defense of electron. It is basically the one application built in electron that isn't obviously significantly worse because of it. And it's because it is backed by a trillion dollar company that can afford to invest the time to fix the electron limitations for their project. No other app built in electron is even remotely close to VS Code, which is still noticeably bad in performance when compared to native editors.
A "smart" rubber duck would probably suck, because it won't ask the right questions, but I expect it's going to be a common IDE feature down the line. It'll help for some classes of problems.

I got your point. Yes, telephone calls would eliminate distractions but it lacks a lot of necessary features. Sharing screen is a must in our company. Also no whiteboard alternative. And we have many non-native English speakers so voice only might not be enough to always understand what they're saying.

I think a telephone call might be good for a few cases but in our case (technology/marketing company,) I don't think it's a good way to communicate remotely.
Sounds like anomie. What did your therapist say about this? Different anti-depressants have different effects. Not sure what you were on, but if it was an SSRI, perhaps a tricyclic would have been better, or vice versa.

The symptoms you explain are why it is important to pair therapy with antidepressents.

I'm very surprised your therapist did not alter your scrip.

Start or contribute to an open source project, then offer consulting services to your users. If you can solve one of their problems indirectly through your published code and/or writing, they already trust your technical abilities to some extent.

If true that would be terrible. Because higher wavelength UV is very dangerous.

And are you sure about this? When visible light gets reflected by a wall it doesn't seem to change wavelength significantly (color basically remains the same).

SSLv3 seems unlikely in 2020 document about security. TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 are already known to be a bad idea by then, and SSLv3 was formally deprecated in 2015.

Whereas a typo of SSHv2 makes sense because you probably do want SSHv2 on products which have it, even if they also speak TLS 1.2 or better, since the functionality is orthogonal.
Does COVID19 cause diabetes in kids? The CDC publishes an embarrassing study
A lot of systems research is socially guided where community-of-practice approaches help. If you haven't, I recommend reading something like Rogers' surveys of papers in 'Diffusion of Innovation' for why, especially before writing publicly that students following such methods would be better off abandoning them for industry jobs. Industry jobs, including R&D, are generally not like the old days of Bell Labs.

Startups are kind of like that, but still quite different because VC/P&L/growth/sales still warp things. (And PhD programs are great places to experiment before that jump, as the learning & investigation can take an unknown amount of time.)
In my experience it’s almost too easy to create a chargeback and the whole system is grossly inefficient and ripe for abuse.

I once called in to make a price protection benefit claim (would refund the price difference of a purchase). The agent assured me it was done and I find out later all they did was create a chargeback and I got refunded the entire price because the merchant didn't respond to it.

The dispute resolution system seems like it gets no investment or attention from any stakeholder, a merchant could easily get DOSd by spam disputes if some sort of consumer protest were organized. That’s how overpowered of a consumer tool it is.
We're not "getting through the situation". The more spread the higher the likelyhood of new variants appearing, the more people that die of completely unrelated causes due to there being no available hospital care, and the greater the economic chaos.

It is a dramatically higher cost that gets paid in loss of life for those who choose not to be vaccinated and those who can't, and in staff shortages and basic infrastructure weakness for everybody else.
Just because he's a genius doesn't preclude him from also being an asshole. I wouldn't want to work for him and I'd be damn disappointed if my daughter brought him home for dinner.
"Enhancing serotonin made subjects more likely to judge harmful actions as forbidden, but only in cases where harms were emotionally salient. "

"Together, these findings provide unique evidence that serotonin could promote prosocial behavior by enhancing harm aversion, "

I object to the notion that 'less harm' is necessarily 'pro social'.

You can see the emotional attachment to 'harm' which confirms my biases in that people have difficulty mapping the moral issues with harm against their emotional reaction.

Case and point: A man robs a bank, is running from police, shooting at them, the police shoot the man, he dies.

I believe the 'seratonin' response is to condemn the 'terrible harm' done by the police officers.

It takes second order rationalization to contextualize the situation.

> i would argue DNS is as close as you can get to an anarchist protocol: it appears centralized on the outside, but when you dig into the technical details it was explicitly designed to decentralize powers from the hands of the hosts file maintainers

_Powers_ aren't decentralized at all. Only administration and hosting is decentralized. Every single power has to be delegated from above, and continuously renewed. That is what makes it possible to cut people off for non-payment.

> Do you have examples of .org being ordered by ICANN to take certain actions?

ICANN's "Registrar Compliance Program" has helpfully published this powerpoint-style summary of their compliance requirements:

https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/registrar-compli...

However, I would say that the most important example is simply that ICANN charges an annual fee for each and every domain!

The power to make the rules is the power to demand the rents.
Going down the rabbit hole of some of the referenced articles. I read this one [1] about Microsoft's attempts to resurrect the game. The problem seems to be the license agreement does not allow MS to release the game as a standalone copy. Not a lawyer but wouldn't it be pretty easy for MS to just re-license it? MS has a market cap of 2.3T, I think they could swing it without too much of a sweat.

If you don't want to go the whole way where you have literally your own shop, are trying to hunt for your own clients, market yourself, etc. going to a platform is something to consider. I don't love Upwork but some people have good experiences there. Toptal is sort of midrange and then there are some more niche ones like tribe.ai (which I can vouch for as being great for talent having worked there for some time) and there's also braintrust which has an interesting story about the community having more ownership but I don't have insider details on how it's really run
IRC was fun. I do miss that period of time (and being a teenager who could learn things very quickly). I'm not particularly nostalgic about the protocol or the user experience though. Maybe we will find a good middle ground some day, fast native clients with media rich experience and great searchability. I use Teams every day and find it to be just fine for most things.
People like it because people enjoy ownership and power. That and it's way more user friendly for newcomers. Also before Zoom got popular, it was the best voice chat for a while.
