My point was that the spillover of a significantly more lethal but highly transmissible virus is unlikely, but becoming more likely with each tick of population growth.

SARS-CoV-2, as terrible as it was, wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been: a better-adapted, more transmissible, and more lethal first wave.

And if that scenario were playing out, a human-engineered firebreak, even at the cost of many lives, isn't an obvious ethical wrong. Difficult decisions.

Interesting to hear the authors issues with mv2/3.

I’ve run into the same recently, while trying to build out a simple PoC extension. MV3 seems to be vague, and many of the changes specified do not seem to have actually been implemented yet. Such as chrome.tabCapture being namespaced to chrome.capture. Or these are bugs, it’s unclear.

It’s certainly odd that the schedule for moving to MV3 appears to be underway (not accepting MV2 extensions) when I’ve found the only way to enable my use cases has been to downgrade to MV2 (as the author also found)

Edit: The bug report I found, but unclear if it’s going to be fixed. As conflicting announcements else where state this api will be moved to the chrome.capture namespace for MV3. But neither presently works.

> just 1 single rule and not a set of them, it should be: eat less

That is the dirty little secret of keto—higher fat diets tends to trigger the satiety faster and people tend to eat less calories because of it. People assume keto means things like “all you can eat bacon” and think that people on keto are packing away 10k calories a day of bacon. Try and eat a pound of bacon...bet you can’t.

My calories were cut in half when I first moved to keto, and I never ever felt hungry which is way way different than every other calorie restricted diet I ever attempted.

I'm not sure what the legal situation is exactly but it seems to be more complicated than that. The LinkedIn case appears to have determined that scraping public content is legal. I don't think you can redistribute it after that but I guess you can freely analyze it?

As to distributing (possibly even selling) the result of that analysis, see the GitHub Copilot controversy.

There are large OCR datasets of public domain books and old governmental records that come with a "no commercial use" clause. I'm not sure what the legality of feeding those in to an ML algorithm that gets used commercially is.
Yes. Thank you!

Google/Facebook offices are one of the best places in the south bay to hang out and that's fucking terrible.

Solving it is hard, but the answer is definitely not "make the offices worse so that the crappy soulless neighborhood nearby seems better."
If you doubled federal individual income taxes for everyone in the US, you could pay each adult US citizen around $750/mo in UBI with that increase.

If you doubled ALL federal income taxes in the US, you could pay each adult US citizen ~$1500/mo in UBI.

And of course, the higher you set UBI, the less point there is to work like a chump and pay 2x current tax rates so other people don’t have to, so fewer people would work (which is one of the promises of promoters of UBI), meaning taxes would have more than double to make the payments.

The math is daunting because the number of people is so high.

People who commit crimes should not get a heart can be transformed to Only people who have not committed crimes should get replacement hearts. The problem is, who hasn't committed crimes? Which crimes count? Who decides?

I've never seen Mx, so I think many people would wonder what it meant. Just "M." seems better and matches other usage (though outside contemporary English).
Agatha Christie's quote is well-known but the exact same situation still holds today in many countries. Here in Viet Nam it is extremely common for middle income families to have a maid or nanny (or both) but not a car. The cars themselves are quite expensive. A Honda Civic is $33,000 by itself whereas a nanny (6-days a week, 10 hours a day) is $400-500/month and a maid who works 9 hours a week, i.e. 3 days a week, 3 hours each time) is $90-100/month.

So a single car not very expensive car costs the same as 5 years of a full-time nanny and part-time maid.

And that's without figuring in all the extra costs of a car, especially parking. There's not really free parking most places here. So you'll be paying for parking literally everywhere you go.

Even worse, most houses (unless they are luxury houses >$500,000 built in the last 5ish years) aren't built with a garage for a car, so you're looking at buying land, smashing down the existing structure, and then rebuilding something with a garage. And the space for a garage isn't cheap either. If you're a middle income family you're probably living in one of the capital cities and most people would probably be shocked at how expensive land is in the capital cities nowadays.

> Neither party can offer a valid argument as to why their principle is true, because both of their principles are normative.

The majority of ethicists agree that normative statements can express true statements.

But the positive/normative distinction is also not important here: medical ethics is a prescriptive and lexical ethics, one that you must follow if you are to practice medicine. It's not interested in what any individual does thinks should or shouldn't be the case: you do no harm and you always render treatment in accordance with your means.

We also refuse to move to cheaper places. I still think from time to time, "what's stopping 10k smart young people from just moving into empty land?"
> The operating system largely prevents cross-process memory access.

As do programming languages. Yes, a few languages like C allow you to do anything that's physically possible, but most popular languages including Python and JavaScript make leaking function-internal memory to the outside world either very inconvenient or impossible.

As for memory being shared among processes, it's not only not impossible but quite common in performance-sensitive applications. https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/shm_overview.7.html

> many very profitable organizations do restrict employee access to secrets

For one, code is not secret. Secondly, when was this discussion scoped to profitable organizations? A very, very large chunk of HN readers work in startups.

> in many cases this is required by compliance

This argument weakens the entire stance, because it shifts the goalpost from "this thing is good" to "this thing is legally required." Let's stay focused. There are so many implicit assumptions you're taking as granted, I'm starting to doubt this is even an argument in good faith.
(In mice, though I suspect the way humans breathe also has at least a similar link)

From Breath, by James Nestor (thanks to my tax-funded public library), I learned that the cadences of many religious practices/mantras/hymns/etc are such that the in-breath and out-breath each take 5-6 seconds. A paper I read later (linked on HN) suggested that optimal oxygenation occurred after at least a four-second inhale (if I remember correctly), with diminishing returns after a few more seconds.

It takes effort for me to breathe like this, and it feels right; sometimes I just breathe after waking up, until my fingers get warm and tingly (in a good way, not pins-and-needles). If I’m feeling anxious, remembering to stop doing anything else and slow my breathing has been a helpful reset, after which I’m better-able to decide what to do next.

My dad took weeks(like more than 2 months) to back to being some what confidently ok'ish with things after his coronary artery bypass graft. He needed physiotherapy. His knees were weak and he needed a knee replacement only an year later. But in the after math of bypass surgery I had to hold his hand and make him walk, even feed and took him to rest room personally, I would even bathe him.

It took like ages to let him confidently use the toilet on his own. And I'd always keep the toilet door open 'Just in case'.

The Knee replacement a year later was obviously more brutal given the bypass was only an year back and we were peak in COVID times. He was infected, and I had sleep on the road as I caught it too(couldn't go home out of fear of infecting the family). Pretty much saw hell in bare form during that(weeks in anxiety, walking in COVID wards and suffering every single minute), and of course that recovery took months, as the drugs they gave him caused a huge spillover of issues.

It might just be that as a I child I felt more for my father.

But let me tell you major surgeries like bypass grafts, or knee replacements are nightmarish experiences, even more more so in the COVID times today.

Sure, but then the callee is responsible for any async io anyways - meaning it needs to either run its own event loop or use a thread pool if it wants to do IO, right? What I mean is that without a protocol/ABI to access the caller's runtime, you'd have to use your own.

For instance, Rust has explicit async/await but the poll method has a pointer to a waker, and a non-standard global/thread local variable is used to communicate with the runtime. Specifically it needs to access the reactor (in Rust lingo).

You are absolutely right. Taking responsible for your own health is the only thing that will help you long term. Doctors in general are not trained in nutritional science, and are typically as unhealthy as the rest of the population. So you need to either get advice from a nutritional expert or read books that teach you the skills needed. That’s what I did and it saved my health. I recommend reading “How Not To Die”. It’s the best “one book solution” I have read so far.

F# does allow custom infix operators, but of course prefix + piping is generally cleaner. Only time I've used custom infix are for implementing a "null coalesce" operator and for overloading math ops for vectors and matrices. The null coalescing is generally only used for code that interops with c# since f# offers non null guarantees for most types.
I'm admittedly looking at it from a different angle, but I think it's still relevant. Even if you're focusing on performance metrics and I'm looking at evonomics.

The big 5 marketing target events: graduate, marry, buy house, get pregnant, retire. All events proven to change spending habits.

Having a baby often means moving into a bigger space.

The market isn't "housing", so it's not appropriate to consider differences in 3k between someone having a child vs someone not having a child.

It's "housing suitable for singles/couples expecting their first baby", etc.

So you are differentiating (sub)markets, but not necessarily the individuals within.

Similar to how brides planning a wedding aren't competing in a national market, but find themselves competing with a dozen or so other couples all essentially trying to plan the same wedding.

But with the extra money at childbirth, the more likely sink for the competing funds (in the US) is going to be daycare and then preschool.

That is, if it's not finding a bigger home that's more child-friendly. Which is similar to the wedding thing. Available properties near work, within budget sets a sub-market. Then it's just bidding for who gets the nicer home on the park with the better school.

You already see this with hud section 8, where apartment complexes especially set their lowest price at the maximum govt reimbursement rate. Similar situation in college towns where off campus apartments and neighborhoods fluctuate based on dorm rates and allowable student loan amounts.

And slightly nicer but older single family homes set their prices slightly to moderately higher, because as a sfh landlord, you don't need 50 renters, just 1.

But the situation is similar, where a large number of individuals in a particular submarket are all being provided with equal or at least very similar "allowances", and the market finds both monetary and non-monetary ways to adjust and differentiate individuals within.
> Those nuisance barriers you mention are often intended to cause limited damage. For example, water barrels in a gore point or the gates of a parking garage which are made out of wood and intended to snap off.

Some are, and they may indeed be preferable to ones that cause worse damage, but some are not. The correct choice depends on the risks involved and the costs of the various methods (e.g., concrete requires less maintenance than wood).

> This leaves open the possibility that if bittering agents don't deter as well, poison may be a reasonable choice. Yet the only thing we're talking about deterring is tax avoidance. In which case poison seems completely unreasonable.

This is a good line of inquiry, but your blanket conclusion is wrong. Again it depends on the details.

If bitterants are 90% effective but methanol is 99.9% effective, corresponding to $100M vs. $100k worth of alcohol in the black market, then this must be weighed against the statistical value of life, which is ~$8M in the US, and the number of people killed by the poisoning.

The poison isn't a punishment because it isn't being drunk by people who we intend to have drink it (which is no one). The poison is being accidentally drunk by people who don't know it's there, which is exactly the opposite of what's intended. That's what makes those poisonings accidental side effects, rather than penalties.

In contrast, "man traps" (booby traps intended to harm or capture trespassers) are generally illegal because their effect (bodily injury and/or, effectively, kidnapping) are illegal because they unjustly inflict consequences on their intended targets.
Housing cost being not too far from 100 years back seems suspect even inflation/per capita wealth adjusted.

Increasing urbanization in cites and sheer population growth would have increased housing costs whichever way it is measured (ownership /rental/median /average) over 50-100 year period.
The price of college in particular is commented on in the article - prestige matters and prestige is zero sum, so supply is constrained and demand is highly inelastic. Add on to that vastly increased purchasing power made possible by subsidized student loans that can't be discharged in bankruptcy and you have a recipe for out of control prices. Limited supply of a highly inelastic good combined with massive demand way above what people normally could pay yields prices going to the moon.

There's not an easy fix for this. If you have the government pay for college then the race to get into college gets all the money that would have been spent on tuition. On top of that, it's not inherently clear what amount private universities should be paid or if they should be allowed to charge on top of what public money pays for. I went to a public school and I'd trade my crappy experience (caused by budget shortfalls and bureaucratic overhead characteristic of government-run institutions) for a more expensive private school any day of the week. You really don't want overfilled classes, extreme competition for research positions (even basic things like being an experiment monkey are competitive), and a system that in general only pays attention to you if you have above a 3.8.

If you kill government subsidized loans you fix the market for less prestigious schools, but the top 20 or so are still going to have substantial pricing power. Private market loans and ISAs still have the potential to jack up purchasing power.
>"it's easier to hit the edge of a screen with a mouse pointer than some line in the middle, and far easier to hit a corner than some point in the middle"

With widescreens my mouse point never touches an edge. I mean that's a corner case your axiom fails to address. Because human behavior is part of the system you have to use science and data driven methods to determine the best course of action as human behavior can be unpredictable. Axiomatic statements like "it's easier to hit the edge of a screen with a mouse pointer than some line in the middle, and far easier to hit a corner than some point in the middle" are often invalid in the face of human behavior. Axioms and logic are the domain of maths and logic not human behavior. This is another reason why I sort of dismiss these "laws". This attempt to formalize rules as if they're axiomatic when clearly they are not.

>Now please explain how this "extreme generality" does not "refer to windows". (It's not like it's a "corner case" (hnyuk, nyuk).)

Almost every website or UI is a corner case. Even changing the color of the mouse cursor could have chaotic effects. New Coke is the perfect example of this where not even data could accurately predict the outcome... let alone logic.

In God we trust, all others must have data.
> If the family believed the sentencing wasn’t accurate that’s a different matter.

It probably depends on what you mean by 'accurate'. They almost certainly do not believe this person has repayed a debt to the victim, the victim's family or society in general. Phrasing the issue as one of repaying a debt is problematical when it is beyond the means of the perpetrator to make amends.

Note that this is not an argument for the doctors doing anything different. All else aside, it is in the best interests of society as a whole that they should select the most medically-suitable candidate available for this research.

Bollux – A Bash Gemini Client
As with all architectural patterns there are tradeoffs. Microservices for one thing are not functions. Granularity is an important concern.

A DDD approach up front will help with granularity.

The other leg is serverless support. Without that you are stuck with maintaining infrastructure in tandem with all the other considerations, which takes a lot a specialists - lots of engineers.

Definitely a game of scale and not for small organizations.

However, if scale is the key ingredient for success and the value proposition is based on scale, then this kind of architecture is worth looking at.

That said, all shops are not Netflix or AWS...
I have to wonder if the degrading of search results came solely from SEO dark patterns that do more harm than good, or if Google actively believed that small sites were becoming less relevant as social took off. Objectively, looking at PageRank might convince them that Facebook and Twitter were where people were spending time, but that particular firehose is so big it can - and eventually did - dilute nearly all the other relevant results.

Pipe dream: If someone wishes hard enough, maybe we can convince the Apollo guys to leave Yahoo alone so it can return to its roots as (surprise!) a directory.
Who says output to stderr means an error has occurred? Or if there's a special file number for logs, why not then five special handles per log level? And that's how you get Windows and WMI.
Seems pretty damn simple to me. If you wouldn’t put someone to death for a crime, you shouldn’t deny them medical care in a manner that will kill them for the same crime. It’s functionally and legally the same as putting them to death. Withholding necessary medical care is the same as withholding food, water, air, or shelter.
Being able to afford a full time housekeeper is really dependent on the local economy - in any major city in Pakistan if you were to convert 330 USD a month to rupees that would be a very competitive market rate salary for such a position.

To the extent that I met a number of people who had 2 or 3 full time domestic staff but if they had decided to emigrate to the UK or USA would not be able to afford any, and based on their career/education/experience would likely be living in a 650 square foot apartment.
