The cases of "Havana Syndrome" are actually cases of workplace injuries. It's cheaper for the Government to class these injuries as the damage caused by 'adversaries' than to admit liability for millions/billions of dollars in Workers Compensation Claims.
Given their declining market shares, I guess that this decision by Firefox goes in the already quite large bucket of bad choices made by Firefox in the last years. I really tried my best to use it, going back to it every now and then, but I finally gave up. They don't offer anything that's really superior to other alternatives, privacy included.
I can make an pseudo-NFT for about $1.20... print a digital image on a piece of paper, making sure to include the Serial Number of a US Dollar Note in the image. Staple the real US dollar note with that Serial Number to the print of the image.

The paper/dollar object is now not fungible, and is a token. ;-)

I real NFT is the same thing, but with a tiny bit of cryptocurrency instead of the US dollar.

People keep on saying this but it's just not obviously true.

> People haven’t been paying for offices for the last ten years for no reason.

Companies do so many suboptimal things that this argument isn't credible. We've seen how many organizations can barely limp through a "digital transformation", so why should we expect them to be operating anywhere near optimally along other axes? They could just as easily be paying for office space because of tradition or internal momentum, because it confers status or because it gives executives a feeling of control. (This isn't even speculation: I've actually heard executives say that they want people back in the office to keep an eye on them and make sure they're working hard.)

It's not that engineers "don't understand" that "every other function functions better in person", it's that they disagree—with a pretty reasonable basis at that. Companies pushed open offices on the back of the same kind of baseless assumptions contravening both research and individuals' direct experience, and the push to return everyone to the office isn't any different or better-supported.
I've seen people Work From Someone Else's Home. I think that would be the best of both worlds for me. I'd set up a second workstation in my 'office' for colleagues that are also friends.

Latest market moves changed my net worth by 3.5% (from peak). In 12 years of investing I have never had less money than I put in.

Granted cherry picking any specific time period is not very predictive.

The only two prices that matter are the price you buy at and the price you sell at. Everything in between might as well have never happened.
> I wish people would argue in good faith in these types of discussions about responsible use of encryption.

You are assuming people are not arguing in good faith. That is, in itself, a kind of bad-faith arguing, suggesting that people who disagree with you simply don't understand and would change their minds if they did.

In good faith, and with understanding and acceptance of potential consequences, I will continue to say that using encryption is always responsible, the responsible use of encryption is "yes, always", and any two or more (or one or more) people have the right to keep communications exclusively and nigh-unbreakably between themselves. My answer to that will not change, regardless of the people communicating or the content of the communication. If you want the contents of that communication, get it from one of the people communicating.

> No one is arguing that we should remove E2EE between you and your bank.

Many people are arguing that; I've seen people say that it wouldn't matter for the purposes of securing financial transactions if the government has access.

> "Screw it, everyone but Google or a browser is banned."

Thanks! Why don't malicious actors just spoof browsers?

More generally, I would think that any defense that prevented malicious actors would prevent badly written scrapers, simply because malicious actors can do anything a badly written scraper could do, but can also take more active steps to evade defenses.

(These are honest questions; I have very little knowledge about this.)
It's basically about lying. Coca-Cola says "I am going to do X so let me import this", while intending to actually do Y. Meanwhile, the gov't is like "well in principle we don't want people importing this because of Y but we'll make exceptions if it's for X"

And like many rules, it's not necessarily about stopping 100% of everything all the time, but about preventing enough of it so that we don't have some problem.

In the universe in which you agree X is fine but Y is not, and that there is some sort of proof that Coca-Cola knows what is going on, it seems really obvious that Coca-Cola is responsible!

I brought up symbols because ameliaquining's declared requirements match symbols to a T:

I wouldn't know how such requirements translate into value for her. Personally, when I need a set of type-checked fixed values, I favour string literal unions because a readable runtime representation eventually comes in handy.

The only time I recall using symbols was in order to have a "newtype"-like construct, which is a different thing entirely.

Apart from the stock market, you have to take into account the persistent inflationary environment that is being created.

Inflation shortens horizons. The usually impatient early investor becomes more impatient as the uncertainty surrounding the value of a dollar that might be earned years hence becomes greater and greater. Therefore, people's appetites for projects that might pay off in 10 years fall in favor of projects that might pay in five. Their appetites for a five for a five year horizon fall in favor of projects that might pay off in three. And, those fall behind projects that might pay off in a year which fall out of favor in as people seek something that will pay off this quarter.

So, if you are working on something that will pay off immediately, you're good.
Cool. Now you’ve got a whopping pile of selection bias added to the dataset.
My statement that judges should interpret law and not lawmakers is not equivalent to this idea that law must be flawless and bug-free. Those are ideas you've brought to the table that I've already disclaimed. I said laws should be quality laws. What qualifies as quality in law isn't "100% bug-free, literal, unambiguous, single-definition words that don't require any interpretation at all." To the extent that a law is bad (as qualified by law, not by a computer code metaphor), no I don't think judges should go about the business of guessing how it should work. It ought to be punted back to lawmakers. (Otherwise why even separated the two: Just have lawmakers act as judges or vice versa.)

Government power is inherently corrupt. Everyone wants their government to step in and implement their pet preference, and very few people are willing to say: the less a government does, the better.

There is! Even though crypto is supposed to be decentralized, OpenSeas has taken up the task of marking fraudulent/fake NFTs on their website. They are usually still purchasable on the blockchain, but the websites through which you view the NFTs show it as suspicious, stolen, or fraudulent.

Makes you wonder if they should have just used a centralized ledger in the first place if this was going to be how things are run.
Perhaps I misunderstood.

The airlines are already legally required to make their websites accessible in the United States, including to screen readers, by virtue of the Air Carrier Access Act. They already all comply with this.

Unrelated to screen readers, American Airlines and Red Ventures are involved in a dispute about the _legality_ of screen scraping. The dispute involves lawsuits, but does not involve technological measures to obfuscate or otherwise obstruct screen readers, or even screen scraping.

Your comment seemed to suggest that we should make _screen scraping_ legal by considering it the same as vision, and that any efforts -- including legal efforts -- to prevent screen scraping should run afoul of the ADA.

That was my understanding, and that's indeed a bizarre view.

If your point was limited simply to making screen readers accessible, then I think your point is perfectly fine, but kind of a non sequitur, because this dispute is not about technological measures to control screen scraping, it's about legal measures.

> What am I overlooking?

Mutations. An increased infections means increased chance of evolution of this virus. If the virus changes in the right way, current vaccinations wont work anymore. Another problem is if it becomes more mutable, we could have waves of seasonal covid that like a cold doesn't care if you had another variant.

It's in our best interest to try to stop the spread as much as possible.
Ok now show the data of what percentage of people have long term side effects from having covid.
The US stock market represents something like 60% of all stock market value, but the US GDP is only 25% of all global GDP. If you are long to stock market, you have to believe that this kind of disproportionate behavior continues because there's a lot of confidence in the US markets and the dollar.
Judging by this video, you would think so.

I turned on messages (and InMail) on LinkedIn 48 hours ago out of sheer morbid curiosity as to what would happen. At last count I received 124 new messages from recruiters. It's insane how thirsty they are right now.

As for the positions; I'm being offered 40-60% of my current salary, and they're in the same range below someone with the same amount experience in the industry niche I inhabit. (That's a pretty good indicator of desperation and keyword-carpet-bombing) All of them that I've opened have been remote, which is notable.

Much like the mortgage industry before 2008, recruiting is a numbers game right now and appears to be staffed by a lot of folks who have no idea what they're doing or what they're offering.
You effectively defined the patent system.

All patent applications are published (not necessarily granted). Prior to publishing is review by a patent examiner. Someone who usually has to be knowledgeable of the related subject matter. Many examiners have advanced degrees.

Laws/policies are supposed to dictate which inventions the government is supposed to grant.

It’s supposed to be financially rewarding to publish a patent, for both personal and national commerce economics. Which we assume sparks innovation in the private sector and better science/technologies/anything for all.

It sounds like you want to flip the script. Some commercially funded capability to review the endless stream of patents - in which would need to be particularly formal and that can be regulated, and for the government to redefine the incentives.

Btw Governments do offer grant opportunities for various innovative/research areas before they are proven.
It may be a “mild” illness, but a mild illness that spreads through the entire population at once is still a bad thing. Many hospitals in areas with Omicron have been pushed to the absolute limit, and that’s despite the fairly strict procautions that have been taken.

If we're throwing away the ability to let the shell handle escaping properly then there's really no point to --jq at all versus just manually attempting to cobble together JSON directly
It seems the reason they've gone for the "no amount of alcohol is good for" precisely because of the existence and popular influence of contradictory claims. They're taking the position that it's the negative effects that have the plausible mechanisms and the associations of low-to-moderate use with sometimes better outcomes than abstinent cohorts that are most likely proxy variables for general health and [former] lifestyle.

(c.f. absolutely no pop-science reporting on supposed therapeutic benefits of cosmic radiation from frequent flying, so the average person hearing about it is likely to overestimate its negative effects rather than wonder if they should be booking a flight with every meal!)

This is a bug and we should fix how the news works.
I think it’s kind of beautiful that we all have our limited times to make an impact. We bring our perspectives and use our context to try to move civilization to a more optimal place. Then once we’ve spent all our ideas our perspectives can afford, we give way to the next group of minds. Like an old oak falling under the weight of snow opens room in the canopy for new growth and the decomposing wood provides nutrients for saplings; the absence of old arguments invite new ideas and the theory we leave gives the building blocks.
Thanks for not taking the bait on my comment. My only issue with the argument you provided is that the CDC is pointing to comorbidities as a reason why we shouldn't worry about covid anymore. "Hey, I'm young and healthy, why should I worry about it?" feels like the wrong attitude we should be taking as a society.

I don't want anyone, comorbidities or otherwise to have to suffer the effects of covid and I think the fact that many hospitals and healthcare workers (at least in the US), seemed to be at their breaking point means now does not feel like the time to try and ignore covid

Part of the problem is that our medical science institutions in the US are 100% controlled by the executive wing of our government. The CDC and FDA currently must operate under the rules and guidelines set by the sitting president. That's completely against science, in my opinion. These two institutions should be decoupled from politics.
That's interesting. I decided to look up to see if there were any theories on why that might be the case. It looks like results on this are inconclusive across the board and conflict of interest rears its ugly head yet again, but I found this:

Multiple things could be at play here. Google Search runs hundreds of experiments. Every time a parameter is tuned, or a snippet of code in one of the dozens of components that make up search is changed, that change is being canaried in an experiment. Users are randomly assigned to cohorts for these experiments (either based on their user ID when they're logged in, or a temporary user ID when they're not). Also, every search request will hit different servers holding different states, and sometimes processing components may time out intermittently. As a result, every user will see a slightly different set of results, or experience other diverging behavior like the truncation you're seeing. This might give the impression of personalized results, which in reality is not happening (only ads and other content that enhances the SERP are personalized).
Not quite - legally it's whatever is in the agreement and those have been (and still will be) subject to negotiation. In credit agreements without replacement language (e.g., pre 2018 agreements), a Borrower may very well be forced to borrower in prime, for instance.

What you're talking about is the credit spread adjustments from the ARRC formulation of the LIBOR replacement language (11.448 bps for 1 month, 26.161 bps for 3 months and 42.826 bps for 6 months) [0]. In reality, the credit spread adjustments for Term SOFR are still moving and the market has been all over the place - I've seen 10/15/25 bps at 1mo/3mo/6mo tenors (the most common formulation in the leveraged space right now) or a 10 bps flat adjustment (generally viewed as aggressive).
