> NFTs do not transfer copyrights.

Some do, some don’t, the industry standard ”NFT License” transfers limited rights. You seem to pretty confident and feel strongly, but as an example the owners of apes you are calling dumbasses for buying apes and not having ownership, do in fact receive a license to the apes they own.

It’s pretty common for infringing NFTs and infringing collections to be removed from OpenSea using DMCA takedown requests. OpenSea is the biggest marketplace in the space and centralized so they have that power (but it doesn’t remove the infringing NFT from the blockchain). Twitter already has a built in DMCA takedown request process and team, I’m sure they will process them for official profile NFTs. And there is always the court as the last resort for copyright infringement, which you don’t seem to believe in.

Sure you can copy and “mint” an NFT all you want, no different than any other copyrighted digital work can be copied and reproduced…but you would be violating the law in either case.

Why do you think copyright protections don’t apply to NFTs and copyrights can’t be enforced when they happen to be NFTs?
Happened in an Atlanta suburb. Where were the police? Surely a group of people can't get away with firing off guns near an apartment complex and get away with it?
In this case "minority" refers to the sociological definition, not the mathematical definition.
I agree when thinking about building software in one org where there is coordination. When expanding to multi org and international, the problems to solve become much clearer imo.

Hmm. What happens when patients are given general anesthesia and just told they've had invasive surgery?

What if you supplement with a superficial incision and stitches, or a subdermal injection that causes some localized edema (and a dressing that obscures the fact there was no incision)?
but what don't you like about Elm then?
For example, we could enforce our existing gun control laws — those about straw purchases, posession by felons, illegal concealed carry etc. The places with gun crime problem, which overwhelmingly are big cities which have been controlled entirely by a single political party for many decades, don’t want to enforce the law, though — instead, their narrative recently have been in the opposite direction, to defund the police and reduce incarceration.

The only big city that attempted to enforce the law, New York City, has been overwhelmingly successful in reducing its crime problem. The method they used was pretty simple: they caught people doin relatively petty crime, and jailed them, reducing the criminal population, while at the same time sending signal to the remaining people with criminal tendencies that the city cares about it, and will go after you.

Unfortunately, the activist lawfare made them stop using their highly successful method, and these days crime there is not only on the rise, but also the authorities becoming more lenient toward serious crime, including gun crime:

> Prosecutors were also instructed to downgrade felonies to misdemeanors in certain cases. For instance, suspects initially charged with armed robbery of a store would get hit with petit larceny instead, a misdemeanor, provided no victims were seriously injured and there was no “genuine risk of physical harm,” the memo states.

So, if you rob a store with a gun in your hand in NYC, you’re looking for less than a year in jail, and no pretrial detention either. Basically, they’ll arrest you, get your data and address, maybe confiscate your gun if you have it on you, and let you go hit like that, with a court date many months in advance (courts are swamped by Covid induced inefficiency). How is this supposed to be a significant crime deterrent?
The hard part in medicine isn't diagnosis and it's not performing the surgeries, it's disease prevention, it's working with patients to find treatment plans they can tolerate, and it's coordinating all of the moving parts (skilled nursing facilities, pharmacies, inpatient rehab facilities, outpatient rehab facilities, durable medical equipment, home health care, insurance companies) to deliver care that results in a good outcome. Where hospital care falls apart is when labs/tests don't get performed in a timely manner and when protocols/standardized treatments aren't followed. You don't need AI to make that work, you need wider adoption of checklists with workflows that are efficient enough to continue to deliver care to the same amount of people while they're being implemented so that hospitals are willing to adopt them. The diseases that can be effectively caught with screening tests - colon cancer, cervical cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer in high risk patients, abdominal aortic aneurysms, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, depression, etc. - already have screening programs in place.

Every dollar spent coming up with the next automated imaging diagnosis model would be better spent on a model that encourages people to get up and exercise 5x/week, quit smoking (or never start), and get their colonoscopy. Once the patient is presenting to the doctor with heart failure, coronary artery disease, carotid stenosis, COPD, colon cancer, etc. the battle is already lost.

Complain all you want about the healthcare system holding data back. You don't need the healthcare system to make the biggest impact on people's health.

—- I’ll add that your shamanism comment sounds like the typical bs that the 20-something software engineer, who thinks they know everything because they make more than 100k a year and have never had to go to a doctor for anything other than strep throat or generalized anxiety disorder let alone spent anytime in a hospital other than to visit family members, that are everywhere on this site loves to say about physicians or other healthcare workers to shit on them.
As someone living in a relatively poor state, thirty shots is just another normal night.

> If the goal is reduction, the target is total reduction, no

I like to wear shorts more than I like to wear pants. So I wear shorts on the weekend because I can’t wear shorts to work. My goal is pants reduction because total pants reduction is infeasible.

So no, reduction of meat consumption today isn’t implying that total veganism is the goal.

Also, are you eating much insect protein yourself or are you more hoping other people will do it one day?
I think it's a fair and reasonable article, except the fact that it forgets to mention the one thing that is the most important about nuclear energy: it's waste. Nuclear energy is and will never be renewable, because it still - despite decades and millions of research - needs fuel and leaves waste.

Sure, you can easily look at the most important problem at hand and only look at the co2 cost, but unfortunately that short term thinking is exactly what proved to be the cause of climate change.
This would be a lot more convincing if you included details like a country that isn't in the Americas (this is notable because guns flow from the US to Latin America in a reverse flow from the drugs that flow) that has strong gun laws and lots of gun violence.
The fact that they were discharged negligently or even purposefully in a residential area rather than in a gun range.

People who legally own guns generally want to retain their right to own firearms, which means they tend to take firearm safety seriously. They buy their guns at gun shops that often also sell gun safety training, so they tend to get that training as well.

People who own firearms illegally, on the other hand, are already breaking the law, so they probably won't mind breaking a few more. They buy their guns from shady people in dark alleys -- no gun safety training on offer there.

It's actually the opposite. Lots of economists (maybe overzealously) discard any statement that doesn't have a model behind it.

Well we don't need the police to scoop up the bullets out of the air. If they can get there within 20 minutes, and find a pile of shell casings and dudes with warm guns in their posession, and sulphur smoke in the air, maybe they can do something as a deterrent to future cases, such as presenting all of them to the DA with a nice bow on top.
> If thirty shots can be fired in your neighborhood without an immediate and massive police response, you should move immediately.

rephrasing: if thirty shots can be fired and nothing ever changes and the same things keep happening again and again, you should move ASAP, I agree.

You should move abroad to a more civilized country.

EDIT: this happened a month ago.

In 2021 the whole EU (population 448 millions) registered ~3.5k homicides.

Nobody says they were best friend with one. You know a lot of people, and those engineers know a lot of people. I don't know why you're doubling down on this.
I don't remember gold-plated latinum being used within the Federation itself, all their worlds were blissful utopias. DS9 was outside the Federation, and at a place and time where the major civilizations were at war for decades. And even in DS9, the Starfleet officers never had any interest whatsoever in latinum.
The second amendment & what it's become since it was penned goes a long way towards explaining it.
Because of the interchangeability of titles for the same work, I find it's better to get hired as a sr. dev. Then prove that you can actually do the same work as sr. staff engs then get fast-track promoted twice with accompanying increases that are easy to justify once you have a track record at the new company. If I find that I can't contribute good ideas because of title, then I'm not at the right company and should move on.
Or when Microsoft spent millions on giving NFL reporters tablets while in air, only for the reporters to refer to the tablets as „iPads“? :D
I sympathise with East Const, but immediately I am just reminded of another problem with C++

The defaults are wrong. Const should have been the default. Whereupon "East Const" doesn't matter, all the variables which are mutated get labelled. Similarly "explicit" should be the default (nobody wants your random single parameter constructor to be implicitly called, stop that) and "override" shouldn't be (If I name my method foo why is it my responsibility to first check whether some other bozo named a method foo so that I don't "override" it ? The compiler can and should tell me this won't end well†)

† Rust brought me around to the idea that some other bozo's quack() method has no business sharing a namespace with mine just because we're both Ducks, if I wanted to override the shared method I'd have re-implemented Duck::quack() not added my own quack() method. But in the C++ world I'll stick to just saying override shouldn't silently be the default.
Europe is very far from being free of poverty or mental illness. Is it better than in the US? Sure. But free of it? Far from it.

And yes, we can do it if we want to, but the political reality is that we don't seem to want to. You can think all sort of things about that, but that's just how it is.

And in the US specifically, the political reality is pretty fucked in all sorts of ways (that is my polite opinion) and I'm not expecting any significant movement on this in the foreseeable future.
> Is it?

Yes.

> Why belabor that point?

Why appear to not understand it?
It's because of the NRA, which is a trade group of gun companies preventing regulation, and high ownership due to lack of regulation. The high ownership is there goal, a gun costs hundreds of dollars on the low end, and it's an 11-figure market.

Canadian gun ownership and gun laws are not comparable to the US. They have 1/3 the guns and 1/3 the gun crime per capita compared to the US, and ownership is more highly regulated.
The usual first stop advice is your local bar association. Tell them what you're looking for and they should be able to provide recommendations.

Next-level might be looking up similar cases in the past and talking to the attorneys who worked on them.

Of course, if you have any sympathetic lawyer friends you might ask them too!

As an aside, thank you for caring and for doing something about this :-)
Beat your doctor on what? You can already get 10 full blood panel tests per year if you want. You can just pay for it and don't need insurance. But what will you do with the data? For most people the results won't tell you anything useful.

Since everyone knows Python is slow, no care is taken to make things faster in frameworks etc., since one assumes the users are fine with the speed. If "they wanted it to be fast, they would use something else, right"?

So I stipulate that if the runtime becomes faster, those gains won't be visible to large swathes of code because python libraries do lots of weird things under the hood.
Along with the butterfly keyboard, how about the lack of MacBook/Pro/Air ports on those mid-late teens models? I recently ran into someone with a MacBook that has only 1 USB C port.

One failed Apple product that I was sad to see go was the full-sized Apple HomePod. I received one as a gift and was skeptical that it was any better than the Sonos speakers I already owned until I turned it on. The HomePod sounds amazing. Sadly, they were discontinued and the mini version is nothing special.

TikTok is optimized to get as much signal as possible from users, as well as they were smart about getting some signal from the videos themselves: https://www.eugenewei.com/blog/2020/9/18/seeing-like-an-algo...

Something like Amazon gets very little signal after you bought something whether you really liked it or not.

UPX also prevents re-using pages when multiple instances of the executable are loaded in RAM which is bad on low end systems.

The best solution would be to use BTRFS/ZFS with transparent compression (can use fast algorithms) or even SquashFS if you can deploy the entire app image mounted in a directory.
Brookhaven is quite affluent.
The inefficiencies are where all the money is made. After all, patients don’t pay and they certainly don’t pay for results.

Patients may pay for insurance, and buy the right to not worry. Insurance delivers peace of mind by with appointments, papers, and pills. Look at all the bureaucracy and money, it must be fancy and effective. In the course of producing these papers are human doctors, nurses, coders, etc. They sometimes feel a sense of human decency and help people pro bono.
I was going to reply that this sort of thing isn't all that uncommon here in Atlanta. Then I clicked the link and saw this this happened in Brookhaven, which is formerly a neighborhood of Atlanta proper. <sigh>
I think you’re conflating undefined behavior with implementation-defined behavior.

How integers act at the extremes of their values, for example, is implememtation-defined — when you’re using the integer types (rather than using IEEE754 floats for everything to get well-defined formal semantics), you’re implicitly telling the compiler that you don’t care what happens at the boundaries, and that you want whichever behavior the target uarch’s ISA entails.

Think of it like exposing an opaque native FFI type in a managed-runtime language. The semantics of that type aren’t “up to” the runtime; all the runtime does is ensure that only a safe set of interaction primitives on the type are exposed into the managed runtime. (“Safe” in the sense of not corrupting the runtime’s own abstract machine semantics; not in the sense of making any guarantees about the operations leaving the value in a well-defined state per the underlying machine.) in C, integers — and the operations on them — are exactly such “opaque foreign types.” As are pointers, for that matter. (And this is also why casting between integers and pointers is UB — since the internal representations of each aren’t part of the semantic model of the C abstract machine, it cannot make any guarantee about their interconvertability.)

C compilers shouldn’t abort on implementation-defined behavior. Having that behavior be implementation-defined is the well-defined semantics that the C abstract machine applies to such things.

It’s only cases where there’s no clear semantics even per implementation, that the C compiler should swerve and say “I don’t know what that should mean; so I give up.”
You can easily go wrong when you zoom in from abstract resources and find yourself deciding which pieces of hardware they actually could use (almost none of which, it is assumed, you have used yourself.)
I second PurelyMail. Their price schema is based mostly on mailbox storage size, and I believe I paid under 10$ for the last two years of hosting some catch-all mailboxes for multiple domains.

> I think the US has an unhealthy obsession with guns that I haven't noticed with other countries

Where do you think this obsession comes from?

> but otherwise are a fairly trivial item with no "culture" nor politics associated with it

Why would that reduce their risk? Flipping the question: why would this gun culture bring to more guns being actually fired? (for recklessness, violence, whatever stupid reason)
Using something like PyO3 for Rust/Python integration really helps with this, and you don't need the conceptual overhead of RPC.
This is mind blowing.
It is very well written, and easy to understand. Another very cool use of scanning electron microscopy, and computational fluid dynamics.
"Our experiment combines three-dimensional reconstructions of morphology and kinematics in one of the smallest insects, the beetle Paratuposa placentis (body length 395 μm)."
Check out the size of the beetle!

Another interesting thing to ponder is how flight is achieved/controlled, at such small scale. This goes far beyond the standard discussions between lift and thrust.
"Compared with larger sizes, flight at small sizes is dominated by viscous air friction rather than inertial forces resulting from the acceleration of the surrounding air. This competition between friction and inertia is key for flight at all size scales and thus applies to all animals that move through air."
It would be as stupid to base an investment strategy purely on a young age (as your text is implying). Good luck or good bye to your retirement funds this way..

I'd say identifying an underlying trend early (all examples you gave) and then picking the most promising candidate from companies building on that trend, is the key.

But still, there's also management quality, founders that grow as management personalities together with the business, and sheer luck.. point being, uber-successful investing is more an art than science. And surely, not just a young age..

In the west coast city I lived in last year, it wasn’t uncommon (more than once per week easily) for people to drive around in trucks at night (or even in the day sometimes) and just unload magazines into the sky for no apparent reason. In any other country I’ve ever visited, this would result in a huge news response condemning the act along with a significant police response. I never even saw most of these on the news or saw any significant police response.
Criminals typically use illegally obtained guns, even if they are still legally allowed to possess one. They also typically carry them concealed without permit, where it is required. It is rare that when a crime involving use of a firearm is done, the firearm in question is legally possessed, and extremely rare for the gun user to be carrying valid concealed carry permit.
>Why would I start with an unnecessary handicap?

Because "developer hapiness" and "speed of development" are also tradeoffs with other languages...

In fact, if you're late to the market because you used some speedier language, it's often as good as not launching at all...
Why do we need to gather even more tax revenue when congress and the fed can just expand their balance sheets to infinity?

The government is terrible at managing money. More tax revenue != less poverty.
There's kinds of farms. The kind nearby is the kind someone buys because they're rich enough to own a farm without caring about paying for it with the farm. A farm for someone who can't bridge the gap between their self-identification as a working-class conservative and the amount of money they have.

I checked the particular neighborhood in the article, and it's all single-family homes, so probably someone in their backyard goofing off. A neighbor in a similar place liked to run around shooting squirrels with a pistol. The police never showed up. It was an awkward, anxious few years before he moved out. He also liked to shoot bottle rockets without regard for direction. I got buzzed a few times.
