I see a lot of parallels between this article and a discussion from yesterday about how often to loop in others on your work[0]. Like most things in life, there are a lot of complicated tradeoffs between solo work and group collaboration, and rarely any straightforward answers. That said, one prevelent trend is that whatever is in vogue is probably being over used.

If group brainstorming is top of mind for a lot of executives, it's a good bet that there's way too much of it going on. If a dev team thinks they always do their best work in isolation, they're probably missing out on some major benefits to be had by mixing in more collaboration and pair programming.

Why not use a Vanguard target date fund
The downvotes on my comment exactly proved my point. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
> basic rights(buying food) are violated for some.

vaccines are free.
> Surveillance-resistant systems are not an answer to authoritarianism.

> Private companies do not have freedom of operation in authoritarian regimes.

That seems to me like false dilemma of ideal freedom vs authoritarian regimes. Full-scale authoritarian regimes are scary but unlikely risk for western democracies. The real risk is small-scale creeping authoritarian policies accepted democratically with popular support.

We have to consider that liberty is not without real trade-offs between it and other values. It is fantasy to offer political persuasion as a solution. Different people have different preferences for political values and if there is a policy that is unacceptable for liberty-loving minority but satisfies preferences of majority by offering better support for other values, then it is unlikely than just political work can stop it (that would mean to convince others to accept a position detrimental to their own values). And there is enough people who in good faith would like to repress terrorist, CSAM, corruption, tax evasion, public health risks for a 'small' liberty restriction.
But somehow humanity works as a whole for these achievements. The higher education, the infrastructure, the people merely cleaning the launch site facilities, all get a sense out of this.
Wait, people use longtermism to argue that man-made climate change isn't important?
It would be incredible if trigonometry classes had a lab component where students work on a 2D game, such as tower defense.

I ended up taking a fun programming elective in college where my team did exactly that -- we created a 2D game. That experience made me appreciate trigonometry more than my high school teachers and Khan Academy ever did.
A client of mine had his email account accessed by somebody in Nigeria (could see date and location of last login). That person then deleted everything after accessing the account.
Right in that FAQ is the phrase "You may think of Gemini as "the web, stripped right back to its essence"". To a technical person, "foo, stripped right down to its essence" means that this thing is directly competing with foo - or, at the very least, that it exists in the same realm as foo. Gemini does not exist in the same realm as the web, nor is it at all similar to "the web, stripped right back to its essence".

The fact that occasionally fans might disclaim that it's only meant to replace "part of" the web is materially irrelevant - Gemini isn't capable of replacing any nontrivial fraction of it. (its fans claim it is, though - "I want to discard the parts of the web that Gemini does better, and explore other solutions for anything that’s left of the web which is worth keeping (hint: much of it is not).")[1]

The fearsome requirements imposed by optical interferometry are a real killer here: the JWST mirror segments can be controlled with 10nm precision for a reason.

Radio is a billion times easier (at least in naive terms): wavelengths in the kilometers rather than hundreds of nanometers
Before we built Fly, I spent a huge amount of time trying to bend CDNs to my will. Fastly's surrogate keys are pretty good _if_ you define a good HTTP cache schema and if every request is worth caching.

My general takeaway was that HTTP is a terrible interface for "programming" things. Worse, the whole stack was difficult to test and inflexible to iterate on. And the apps I've found myself wanting to build lately rarely serve the same HTML twice.

You may find differently, but I strongly believe "just run your app and DB, no other layers" is the simplest possible way to do most full stack work.
This seems to have been subject to waxing and waning fashion. I had a similar experience recently -- someone sent me a PR with a hand-written parser. I commented "do people write parsers by hand any more?". After some push back, I searched online and found a ton of articles "why you should write your own parser and not use a parser generator". Still beats me as to why though.
Given the relative innumeracy of the public, some argue we should teach stats and probability instead of calculus, if there's a choice. Those things are more applicable for everyday choices like "should I buy a lottery ticket or invest in the market?" "How likely am I to die from disease X versus side effects of its vaccine?" "Should I buy comp insurance or pay out of pocket if I break my car?" etc.
Longtermism is increasingly viewed as a respectable moral movement; one of its best-known proponents is Nick Bostrom, director of the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford, which received a $10M donation from Elon Musk. You can read more about longtermism (and some of the really bizarre views its adherents espouse) in this Current Affairs piece:

Math is incredibly useful; probably everyone here knows that. But it's actually fine that most people don't use it.

What we really need is for every student to realize why math is useful -- so that if they want to, they can go learn it so that they can make some kind of technological contribution to the world. The fact is, you need to be good at math to make some new fundamental breakthroughs in technology. Those breakthroughs benefit everyone, even those who don't know any math at all. But you won't really get why that's the case until you know enough about sines and cosines to make sense of modern technological development.

The real issue is that we just teach the math, hoping that students will understand on their own that it's fundamental.

What we should do instead is try to instill that sense of wonder about the world that inspires people to study math. We don't need every person to know calculus, we just need everyone to understand why calculus is useful -- then they can be inspired to go further. Educators say that they're trying to do this, but I'm sorry "how many meters of fence does Farmer Bob need to keep the sheep inside the pen" is not inspiration -- it's drivel, no better than "find the perimeter given a=5, b=6."

If every person understood why math is so useful, we would have many more people who are motivated to work on improving the state of things.

What's good about it? Half the post is about Bitcoin. A large chunk is about the ENS token distribution.

There's no link to any of the contracts or code. There's no comparison with existing providers and the trade-offs. There's no discussion on how DAOs are still very immature and evolving. There's no acknowledgement of how ENS has behaved since inception.

Flash loan voting? Clueless.
Astronomer here, we are thinking about doing interferometers in space[1,2], but it won't be a catch-all for everything. One reason is that the instrumentation is equally as important as the telescope optics itself, and it's non-trivial to have your swarm of satellites both collect light, but also do science experiments with the light. One thing we are thinking of is to fly more proto-typing missions to get the technology readiness of various components to mature stages before assembling it all together for the real thing (I would say we did not do this as well for JWST).

I have had the exact same argument with several partners-- but absurd.

One insisted I was "wasting money" by buying name brand French's mustard. At the time, the gallon jug of it was $3.29 and lasted years-- and I made low 6 figures.

Another g/f insisted I was wasting money buying bags of ice at the store (we didn't have a water hookup for our fridge). She spent $30 on ice trays, and then there was never any ice because it had become this manual process that needed to be managed several times a day. I went back to buying ice...

You don't - I do (including some math only seen in uni).

It all depends on your job, and since we can hardly know in advance, school tries to cover all bases. Drill and practice or the other proposed solutions won't help with that.

This is the kind of fix you can get with a recall or late problem. It's not a "zip tie" it's a steel cable tie. The wood's a bit shonky but another manufacturer might have got plastic clips made instead of the wood and otherwise made exactly the same fix.
That's not really true, though. Like with SSH, the first time you receive a certificate for a server you are prompted to either trust it or not. If you choose to trust it then from that point on it remains trusted unless explicitly removed from the set of known hosts. Of course, the client could just take the option away from the user and automatically trust every host the first time. But then there's even less point in having TLS here.

Even Signal's TOFU method offers a way for users to manually verify that the keys of the people they're communicating with, even though it permits communication from the start without verification.
Pre Holocene, there was just more climate variability too.

I mean maybe we could have spent more time hunting, gathering, and birthing, but I don't begrudge the ancestors for just kicking back instead!
Shouldn't people be isolating regardless of vaccination status, so the argument that they're sick for shorter amount of time is redundant?

Why do we care about the virus spreading, it's always going to spread.. the concern should be giving the vaccine to the vulnerable that need it; the main benefit is reducing severity for them. For everyone else, its main benefit is securing revenue for the leading drug manufacturers.

If I'm unvaccinated and testing negative, then what is the problem?
It can be hard convincing people that 1% is a big number. I assume that you are on average going to see 6-7% return after inflation. The 1% represents 15% of the return. So you give the tax collector 25% and the money manager another 15%. You can defer the taxes but the manager gets theirs once a quarter.

When you are in the $1m+ AUM, it is pretty easy to explain. You are going to be paying for your kids to go to college and one of theirs as well. Make sure you really like them.

Profit is definitely one motivation for censorship, but there has been plenty of censorship in non-profit-centric situations. Communist countries and other government actors have been leaders in censorship, with no obvious profit motive.

yah, difficult to control for that for sure. But most polling indicates unvaccinated folks are far less concerned about COVID in general and less likely to modify their behavior.

You can even use this to reason the other way: Climate change will lead to a planet that can sustain less humans 100 years from now, so those lost people won’t have their 100’s of trillions of offspring thousands of years in the future. We should stop climate change.
Flat Assembler Design Principles
First, apologies for slight snugness of that that reply - probably not needed, and I've received some probably well deserved downvotes for that.

Second, it does prove my point in that the poster referred to the "unvaccinated" as a single group, a position that I'm suggesting results in a very inaccurate set of conclusions (which other responders have commented on) because of skewed cohorts.

Third, I most definitely do NOT have it all figured out - I'm as confused as anybody else on most of this stuff, which is why my post was on a single focused point, and not on issues where I have an opinion, but much less research and data supporting my position.

Lastly, I've read all the replies and thought it was good discussion. I didn't see anything to suggest I hadn't thought it through or disprove my position, just disagreements on how useful it would or wouldn't be, which is fair.
> Further, hasnt the "lack of workers" been exacerbated from vaccine mandates on workers?

There is no vaccine mandate for workers. They tried to push for it initially but they realized that they couldn't deal with the unvaccinated workers leaving, especially in long term care homes.
Do you think piratebay is decentralized? If so could you explain why/how?
My math teacher was not like the ones you describe, he really let me go off the reservation if I ever wanted to approach the problem in some wierd zany way. IMO, that's how it should be.

On the other hand, mastery of the tools and methods requires repeating it and spending a lot of time with them untill they "make sense" or rather, you get used to them. So that is useful as well. Most people can apply mechanical methods well, but the part where I see a disconnect is applying them to new problems and new contexts. It's like... Most people don't even realize you can do that. Would love to find a scalable way that teaching can approach that as well. It is a crucial mental tool.
Kids have vaccines at 2 months, 6 months, 1 year and 5 years.

Considering that the initial schedule of 2 doses in a month was kinda rushed, and that Israel is not proceeding with a fourth dose because the current wave has been manageable despite the very high number of cases, it seems very unlikely that COVID will need periodic boosters in the general population.
The us separates government debt from fed assets. If you net it out, the debt is even more massive, especially compared to some countries which just have sovereign wealth funds, a budget surplus, and no debt. best to just look at the global economy, and find your place in it.

Hackernews rewrites many post titles
There's also security updates for the two older versions of macOS

- Big Sur: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213055

- Catalina: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213056

Though the Monterey update fixes 13 CVEs and the Big Sur and
Catalina updates only address 7 and 5 CVEs respectively.

It seems unlikely that Big Sur just isn't vulnerable to so many of the Monterey CVEs and instead this is just Apple prioritizing fixes for the latest macOS version. Officially Apple of course only provides security updates for the latest version.

Edit: Here's a list of the security issues fixed in the Monterey update that aren't mentioned in the Big Sur update: https://gist.github.com/varenc/7722a0fe198d85a7e49544bcf4066...

The CDC calls them "Seasonal Flu Vaccines":

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/flushot.htm

So does the Mayo Clinic:

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/flushot.htm

I won't go on, but by definition, a medicine that you take that's intended to build up your immune response to a disease is a vaccine. I saw someone upstream write "Intramuscular/serum vaccines cannot stop respiratory infections, by definition," and as far as I can tell this is just point-blank wrong. Whooping Cough -- pertussis -- is a respiratory bacterial infection we've been vaccinating against with intramuscular shots since the 1940s.

> "I want to discard the parts of the web that Gemini does better, and explore other solutions for anything that’s left of the web which is worth keeping"

You conveniently left off the next part of that sentence: "(hint: much of it is not)" It's pretty clear that ddevault thinks that Gemini can replace a large fraction of the web (which is the issue under dispute).

The difference between "Gemini can replace the whole web", "Gemini can replace a large fraction of the web", and "Gemini can replace anything more than a vanishingly tiny sliver of the web" is largely irrelevant, as all of them are false, and my argument reads the same if you substitute either of those other two phrases in.

I buy the ineffectiveness of brainstorming meetings.

I don’t think it’s as big of a deal as it might seem, though. You still need to get together and decide what to do with your team, it just probably should be a safe space is all. We knew that.

It's like changing the type of bell you use to summon Pavlov's dogs. The dopamine hit gets associated with all the sensory aspects of the drink, including color. Change anything about it and you weaken the drug effect on long-time addicts.
A fair warning, but I don't think anybody was worrying about this kind of far future anyway.

Just adjusting and staying relevant in our fast-paced world requires an increasingly short term focus, if anything. Paycheck to paycheck and business quarter to business quarter. Further, many people aren't very hopeful for the future as everything seems to be breaking down.

We're also absolutely terrible at even "short term" problems. Climate change was warned about since the 70s. We had decades to curb it but did nothing. We can foresee population booms as well as aging decades before they happen but again do absolutely nothing.

We're a short term species. And getting even more short term. Instant gratification and all that.

Personally, I don't care at all about the prospect of people populating the galaxy. Imagine the mess they make. It wouldn't be long before the sky looked like an ad.
