It's true that if you can update prices instantly, offering a trade doesn't stabilize the prices of the things you are offering to trade. But that is not how the real estate market works; bids and offers are made with a validity time measured in days or weeks, not minutes, and asking prices are often printed in office windows.

But it's a silly idea. It's not going to happen, and the point of my comment was to explain why.
In 20 years we might be able to spamcraft a bunch of ~3m space telescopes and be able to measure their positions with sufficient precision to enable long baseline interferometry in the IR and optical spectrum. We might never build this large of a single instrument again.
>> Well it's a net negative for the end user, which should have been the priority for everyone involved

I feel like you're missing the point. Let's say you are a product manager. Here are your options;

A) increase the product price so the budget can be bigger. Understand that increasing the price will lower customer numbers, but net inflows may be larger. (does this option prioritise the end user?)

B) spend all your budget on platforms with the most usage. Ignore less-used platforms completely, but deliver the best possible for your selected platforms. So 100% spend on the Windows client - - and of course ignore Apple and Linux desktop. (does this prioritise the end user?)

C) build a cross-platform solution that is sub-optimal on all platforms, but targets multiple platforms on a limited budget. This reaches the most people, but the experience from an engineering point of view is less than ideal for all of them. (does this prioritise the end user?)

How you answer depends on who you consider the end user to be.

If you see them as "people who have bought our system on our preferred platform" then option B makes the most sense.

If you see them as "people who could use our system to improve their lives" then option C makes the most senses.

If you see them as people who can afford fine engineering then go with option A.

On the up side, no matter which one you choose you are prioritising the end user, so it fulfills your premise.
India is very much a WhatsApp country. You can even access government services on WhatsApp!.
It varies quite a lot. One of my kids was needy all night long for most of a year, the other one started sleeping through the night maybe six weeks after we brought her home.

I've often thought that much of the difference between poor/adequate/great parents is the personality of the kid(s). Have a really easy one and then you think you're some of rockstar parent. Then number two comes along and shatters your delusions.
I wish there was something like Wallabag that built the article to archive from what is shown in my browser, instead of signalling my wallabag instance to scrape the website.
> For dependencies, simply pin your versions and put library upgrades through a code review, that way no unknown code enters your system.

These are all solid recommendations but don't excuse shit behavior on behalf of certain poor participants in the ecosystem. Which it seems you're super eager to do for some reason.

> Right, no one wants to do the work.

I mean so far it looks like one guy lol.

We're talking about this guy's motivations not that of the consumers.
> emotional trauma of say $100,000

AFAIU, Texas strictly limits the scope of negligent infliction of emotional distress claims. Negligent infliction of emotional distress is a fairly recent judicial invention. Being one of the first (the first, at least in the U.S., per Wikipedia) to recognize a claim in the absence of physical injury to the plaintiff, AFAIU it's much broader in California than many other jurisdictions. (EDIT: And even under California law this may be a difficult claim to make.) This is probably why Texas lawyers simply dismissed the possibility out-of-hand.
IMO OS vendors could create an electron detection mechanism and start making electron instances use shared libraries and memory for their browser instances as part of a swap in the kernel. When you remove the "virtual OS container" that come with every electron app (their browser instance), you remove a significant amount of resource waste they have. Then they're pretty much QT apps written in python in the level of performance and memory they use.

It's kind of a shame that chrome apps didn't become a thing and electron app installers would detect if you have chrome and just install themselves as chrome apps vs an electron app. That would've been another legit alternatives.
Technology can't be stopped by individual engineers refusing to invent it, it can only be stopped by everyone agreeing on the ways it shouldn't be used. So it was for arson (fire), homicide (every weapon since the rock), and obscene material (all communications technology), and so must it be for privacy and the various techniques of monitoring us.
Kids vary.

Daughter slept they the night from day one.

Son was up hungry every night at 2am.

Given that, power point of this thread, people pretty much went to bed at sunset, at European latitude that would mean a long night much of the year with kids wanting food and adults being sufficiently rested late at night. Once satiated amid a quiet daze of food/sex/meditation, they’d likely doze back off until daybreak. Two sleeps seems quite sensible without electricity’s prolonged days.
I suspect it's heavily sampled, and maybe not only on the time axis. They would already have a reconstructed clock available, so it would be straightforward to sync up a time aperture, and the voltage aperture could be swept by adding an offset into the output comparator(s). They could then scan the ranges of both parameters to build up the eye diagram with minimal additional hardware. This would make it a brilliant oscilloscope if you want an eye diagram of a high speed serial bus, but for just about any other task it would be a bit rubbish. There isn't a UXR hiding in every PCIe 5+ lane.

Some distinctions:

- Killing a serf is murder, killing a slave is property damage.

- A serf can bear witness, and accuse. A slave cannot.

- A slave can be sold and forced to go wherever the new owner wills. A serf cannot.
How awful.

This did bite me in the butt once when my bank sent me an email with a naked link telling me to update my something-or-another that I don't use much. I completely dismissed it. But, it was valid and my something-or-another got cancelled. No big deal, but curious.
I don't know D and just learning this syntax myself, and I'm genuinely interested in where you feel the smell is because I really like this syntax! For example:

I know Ruby, so here is what I'm used to:

half.map { |i| i + 1 }

I also know Elixir:

Enum.map(half, fn i -> i + 1 end)

...and JS, I guess because we have to:

half.map(i => i + 1) // It looks just like the Ruby one

...vs whatever the Python version is... I don't know Python very well, but I imagine it involves list comprehensions...

Compare all those to the aforementioned D version :

half[] += 1;

I'm really feeling the D version!

EDITED to fix little mistakes.
Animal to human transmission is understandable though and forgivable as it happens all the time.

Human error would generate blame though and cost China tons of political capital with countries eager to calculate just how much damage this mistake cost them.

Government funding of science and a proposal/grant system. Senior people spend a lot of time writing proposals, and need underlings to do the leg work. They also have to be politically savvy so their peers don't reject their proposals.

I would guess it benefits the US too since they had been providing business to the Wuhan lab and failed to vet them effectively. Here is a fun conspiracy theory: what if the US put high risk projects in China hoping that they could obfuscate blame from themselves in case it caused a public health crisis?
"Despite near-constant headlines about the prevalence of sleep problems, Ekirch has previously argued that, in some ways, the 21st Century is a golden age for sleep – a time when most of us no longer have to worry about being murdered in our beds, freezing to death, or flicking off lice, when we can slumber without pain, the threat of fire, or having strangers snuggled up next to us."

I've just started my first semester of OMSCS and planning to stick with a single course per semester, and skipping the summer semester to give myself a break.

There seems to be a lot of FUD about this. Make no mistake, the malicious and privacy invasive applications are already being used; they just don't follow a IEEE spec and aren't associated with WiFi directly.

If a maliciously controlled router wants to track you it already can because your phone, smart watch, and laptop already broadcast themselves.

This technology may not seem useful to the purpose of WiFi on it's face but that couldn't be further from the truth. Knowing the population of a room in terms of devices but also people is useful for WiFi deployment planning and power level optimization. 2000 people with 2 devices is different from 4000 individual people.

People already have WiFi enabled lights and other sensors so providing a standard for object & people detection will make those use cases even better.
Cisco has been doing something like this with Angle of Arrival with a 16 antenna array for the past few years. It’s pretty cool but only works in perfect setups, and the antennas need to be mounted above you.

But by failing to regulate wet markets properly, aren't they equally at fault?

Perhaps the supposed logic is that a scientist at a lab doing this sort of research probably counts as a government employee, whereas someone storing animals unhygienically would more likely be self-employed, so that makes the government less directly responsible.

I'm not sure if that distinction really matters to people who want to blame China's government, though.
Indeed, well said. It's important to also note that 2 year survival rates after a heart transplant are similar, 75%-80% survival 2 years after a heart transplant.
Your examples don't match the point you were making. The bent studies from tobacco companies were falsifying answers, not just asking questions, and the racist theories were operating on a hazy pseudoscientific level that can't even be called "falsification," but were also, by another means, giving false answers.

There may have been a time in history when asking questions alone has been used maliciously, but it's neither of those.
Yeah, should've bene clearer about that, my bad.

I, too, am excited about Pipedream.

I think it needs more no-code support for some of the fundamental abstractions needed for scripting, especially ETL:

- Branching

- Looping

For example: Recently, I built an integration from ForwardEmail to Airtable using Pipedream and realized I needed a secondary nightly automation to clean up the records so the Airtable base didn’t exceed my limits. Now, Pipedream happily executes a step that returns an array of Airtable records. Problem is, as far as I can tell, Pipedream has no native concept of “loop through every entry in the array”, so I had to hop into Javascript code to create a for loop.
Excellent video! Thank you for sharing the link.

Bioelectrics could explain why some cells (like Pancreas beta cells) will not grow in vitro. Recent work has produced gels that enable growing these cells. I expect that the gels provide the electrical fields that the cells expect.
I also left my startup due to ethical concerns. First, keep in mind that if they are this disorganized and vengeful, people probably already know and will sympathize with you. Second, if you're not a founder and didn't work there long, you can leave it off your resume. Third, if they do badmouth a fresh employee, I think that's a reflection more on them than you. Hearing that you left a startup quickly would mostly make me wonder why rather than assume anything about you.

I know it can be scary especially if they lie about you behind your back. However, people gossip unfoundedly all the time, and there isn't much you can do about it except continue to be a good person. As other commenters mentioned, the tech world is large and the vast majority of people you talk to will never hear or care about the gossip.
Seriously, it's less a synopsis and more a rewording of the same article! They might as well have just linked to Moxie Marlinspike's article as the whole body of their own article.
There's still a huge advantage for Electron - it's still fundamentally the same tech underneath - HTML, CSS, JS. Any semi-competent web developer can use Electron and ship cross-platform apps with it, and heck, lots of code can be shared between Electron apps and the web "app". None of the other options provide these facilities.
To add to my original question, is the furin cleavage site further adapted in the Omicron variant, explaining its increased infectiousness? If so, what is the difference between that and the Delta variant?
Personally, I do believe in an afterlife. And I apologize if this reply gets a little mystical, but the topic warrants it :)

When I said “raging against dying”, I really mean making peace with the thought of death. I strongly believe it isn’t something to be swept under the rug, but rather something to be wrestled with, thought through, and truly considered, with genuine honesty. In a sense, there can be nothing more important.

Your individual consciousness is special, it is unique. You have memories and experiences. Deep thought, shallow urges, appreciation for beauty, relationships, love.

If you believe that consciousness ends at death, each time it does, its like a whole universe winks out. And everything that consciousness experienced is meaningless. If this is true, then no amount of self generated “meaning in this life” can make up for even an ounce of pain this consciousness experienced - because that pain was experienced for nothing. No “meaning” endures. It’s universe ended when it did.

But in your heart you know that isn’t true. There are answers if you seek. But giving up and not thinking about death is nothing but a cop out.
Children in the Garden: On Life at a 3,100-Mile Race
I don't think you want to be storing individual view events in a relational database. You are looking at billions of events. Of course running a count(*) every time you want to show the view count would be absurd. But I imagine how it would work in practice is you store all events in something like elasticsearch and then every x minutes you recalculate the number of views if there were any new events and store that calculated number somewhere.

What I would _not_ be doing is something like the active record cache_key to calculate if any changes have occurred to decide if you grab from redis or run the query again. For something like view count, it doesn't matter if the data is slightly stale.

They’re the end result of asking biased questions then manipulating answers to fit those biased questions. My point is that if you ask biased questions it won’t be long until someone provides biased answers.

You need to ask unbiased questions to get unbiased answers.
Walter, what do you mean by social proof in this context? Wondering if you have a brief example?
Trust the science and experts, huh? What a joke.

A bit of a digression, but iMessages is supposed to be a native app and it sucks ass on macOS. buggy, slow to load previous messages, and have to force quite from time to time.

From my experience, many native apps suck. But a lot of them are good. Same goes for electron apps.

Also, native app development process is way worse than solutions like electron and react native in terms of feedback loop and DX. Ofc they have downsides as well since they're abstraction layers.

I only have my narrow view of the industry (a handful of teams across 4 different companies) but I disagree with the premise. It seems to me that software quality is on average better than when I started out in the industry in the mid-2000s (and at school before that). In that time, I've seen version control, code reviews, automated testing, and reproducible builds all go from novel tools we were dipping our toes in to industry standard practices.

That said, I think it's only slightly better, and not as good as it should be given our tools and (collective) experience. I chalk this up to the reasons other people have given—mainly the business of software doesn't favor clean code and the majority of code is written by new developers who are still developing their skills.
Ironic because Chan has been a media crusade about it. Every news org seems willing to give her air time even though she's turned up zilch.

Faking data is much harder: it’s easy to forget to remove something, change numbers so they don’t match other numbers, or make up numbers which have the statistical signal of manufactured data. Even being a great power does not prevent these kind of mistakes, because of the skill level censors would need in multiple scientific fields to make a good forgery. People get away with it in minor papers in the social sciences all the time, but with a million eyes on the data sets in this case, someone’s gonna see it.
