I'm quite sure it will, for two reasons:

1) Vaccine development in itself was no doubt a historical achievement and will go down in history books. Regardless of causality, Project Warp Speed will be there by association.

2) It is a meme that legitimizes government spending. "We need a project warp speed for FooBar" will be a powerful way to get things funded, in particular by republicans in the US, for many years to come.

I hadn't even thought about this. With BTC early on, the only party to really benefit from lost coins would be "Satoshi", but his coins weren't worth anything until the currency took off anyway, so it was more important and long-term profitable to build a system that didn't lead to user anger than one that would lose coins to deflate what was already a deflationary currency. It really does show how slimy the whole cryptocurrency world has become.
The counter-party to both the borrower and the lender is a dumb contract. A dumb contract is not a legal person, and therefore it cannot initiate legal action, nor legal action can be initiated against it. Furthermore, there's no legal agreement between the dumb contract and its counter-parties, since, again, a dumb contract doesn't have a legal personality which is required to enter into legally-binding agreements.
>>I remember once going to see him when he was lying ill at Putney. I had ridden in taxi-cab No. 1729, and remarked that the number seemed to be rather a dull one, and that I hoped it was not an unfavourable omen. “No,” he replied, “it is a very interesting number; it is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways.”

The quote above is from G. H. Hardy himself, from the book "Ramanujan: Twelve Lectures on Subjects Suggested by His Life and Work". There was no need for him to embellish the story while it was published to "cheer up" Ramanujan, since the book was published in 1940 after Ramanujan's death.

Two great men can have different interests in the same field. It does not mean one of them had less ability. Hardy, since his early days, was fascinated by pure mathematics and rigor. Ramanujan was playing with numbers on pieces of paper since he was a child. That's why their contributions and intuitions, even though in the same broad field, are so different.
My country's market is dominated by second-hand Japanese imports, a lot of the integrated navigation / entertainment systems are entirely useless if you're not driving in Japan, or can't read Japanese.

When my 2005 Mazda MPV suffered a flat battery, the centre console screen which was the navigation / radio / clock / DVD player (yes, really) was bricked, and to this day displays a message in Japanese asking you to please insert the manufacturer's navigation data CD to continue using it.

Which no-one has access to, not even in Japan (my brother has been living there for about ten years, and is very helpful for obscure parts requests), so now my radio and clock don't work, because I don't have a CD with data needed for a 16 year old navigation system that, when working, was thoroughly convinced I was driving long distances on the bottom of Tokyo Bay and was desperate for me to turn right and get back on dry land.
I interpreted the question myself from another angle: a circle is a function where every f(x) is an equal linear distance to an arbitrary fixed point z. So, the "inverse" to this function could be a function where every f(x) must have a different linear distance to z.
It's just hard to do. But there are efforts in this direction e.g. https://analysispreservation.cern.ch/

It's crazy what is gotten away with in CA real estate. Homes that were dirt cheap when they were built 100 years ago on rotting posts and piers that will just slide off with the next quake. Whenever we get the winter rains about half the neighborhood just throws a tarp on the roof; not much pressure to have a solid roof in CA it seems, or insulation, or a noleaky basement because there is no basement. People have no idea how terrible most of the housing stock is that they are paying north of $1m for here in CA, because its so competitive buyers are waiving inspectors.

Because a seller is not going to take a 3% offer in this market.
I’ve long dreamed of having one of these for a house! However I think that in reality the house would own me. Most of these missile silos were insulated with asbestos - you can work around that but I think that is well beyond a typical DIY project. Ground water penetration would also be an ongoing concern, you have to be vigilant and deferred maintenance would catch up to you quickly. Any maintenance issues that can’t be resolved internally and require digging down from above would be costly. Typical home warranty probably won’t cover anything.

But for a few years it would be really sweet just the same! Just expect it to be a depreciating asset going in.
There could be some loophole. If the program globally never makes a reference to a field, must it be aligned? If the field is referenced, could it be that when making a reference, the field gets copied or moved out and a reference is implemented as a pointer to that copy?
It’s just some sleight of hand. You can switch all of the parts to be lim x to zero of 1/x m.m. if you wish to satisfy yourself
In this market sellers will prefer all cash or a traditional loan over these.
This is very common for my clients. Another common variant are B2B focused clients where their customers contractually require them not to put data onto AWS. IE, Walmart doesn't want any of their data to end up on AWS, and if you want to do business with Walmart you need to similarly protect their data.
When iPhone came out in mass production, its battery life sucked compared to the cheapest phone out there at the time (and still fires in comparison), it had connection drop outs all the time, didn’t allow the flexibility of most smartphones at the time and that’s just from top of my head. What it did have was a platform that had a huge potential for evolving well past the rest. If you don’t agree, go read the news articles and forums around that time (with posts just like yours).

Thus your point about rain sensors is moot - they run vision software to detect rain. It can improve essentially forever and at no expense to the customer.

Your ICE car may have a better rain sensor or auto headlight whatever now, but for a car that may be the most expensive investment, you will be stuck with whatever capability it came with, much like the feature phones of the 2000s.
Great article! The diagrams look nice. What did you use to generate those diagrams?
I thought this was bad, then my work changed from on-prem AD to Azure AD. Now my account is "linked" to my computer, and the only way I can log into a different Outlook inbox is by opening an incognito window.

It really does feel like something is broken on the back end of Microsoft's SSO, but I'm sure it's just so complicated with decades of cruft that it's hard to dig out.
I created https://sitepress.cc/ because you can have both! It can run a dynamic content site from a Rails app or it can compile out pages that can be deployed to any static website host.

It doesn’t have a front end for authoring pages, styles, etc, but that could be built on top of this library.
What is the point of nuking something that is one of the only buildings specifically designed to withstand nuclear attacks? It seems kind of wasteful of weaponry to attack something that you cannot destroy. I would definitely take my chances in a nuclear silo in the event of such circumstances; if you are within 50 miles of anywhere that is hit with a modern nuclear weapon you are completely screwed unless you are underground in a structure designed to withstand the megaton winds and incredibly thermal radiance.
I can't imagine search worse than teams (which often fails on the literal exact text from earlier that day). I'm so sorry.
The way to integrate all these simulations at different time and spatial scales and different models would be at a meta-model or (lack of a better word) meta-simulation level.
That is what I propose. It would allow your future research to retrofit in the partial simulations we have today.
I think it requires cross-disciplinary collaboration between my kind of 'computer science' with mostly geologists, paleontologist and a few planetairy scientists, cosmologists and evolutionairy biologists.
Maybe documentairies like Cosmos would fund part of it for they also make many such animations.

Static-Let, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Load-Time-Value
It does not. I have some combination of my work, school and personal microsoft accounts signed in across a couple different computers. It seems to randomly pick one based on some really poorly inferred context. For example, going to outlook.office.com will (usually) load my personal Outlook email. while going to outlook.office365.com (which redirects to outlook.office.com!!!) always loads my school email.

All of my accounts are meticulously password-managed. The ONLY Google property with this problem is Forms. With Microsoft, the entire authentication system is a disaster. Did you know you can sign into your microsoft account with a security key if the moon is waxing crescent, your computer is at least 3 OS updates behind, and you recite a secret incantation?
> I'm sure the decision was "data driven" based on real life usage.

This is also how we ended up with the ribbon interface in Microsoft Office 2007 and beyond, then later other places within Windows (Explorer, Paint, etc). Microsoft essentially collected click statistics across various UIs and used those for decision making to choose which buttons would be big and which would be buried under small icons or sub-menus.

I'm used to it now, but it was jarring and took a while.
> I've had to get told "this is why we used the cloud... so dinosaur sysadmins like you wouldn't slow us down" by many different companies where I've raised this, and I've had this debate in startup communities where "just open everything up" gets defended as "agile" and "modern devops".

I guess there is some merit to the zero trust security model, since it should urge you to secure every bit of software that you run, without necessarily setting up bastion hosts/DMZs or other types of "server-based ACLs" like that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_trust_security_model (since i've seen the fact that you have a "perimeter" get used as an excuse to get lazy about security aside from it)

Yet, i've found that it's just too risky, given how brittle most of our software, including its security functionality, actually is. Just the other day i had even the simple blog software that i use (Grav) fail enforcing its admin login functionality, something that seems incredibly simple on the surface and should be bulletproof, yet somehow wasn't: https://blog.kronis.dev/everything%20is%20broken/grav-securi...

Thus, personally i've found that what's worthy of consideration is taking a bit from both approaches. For example, running everything in containers with overlay networks (not even dedicated service meshes necessarily, even the way how Docker Swarm does it is pretty good: https://docs.docker.com/network/network-tutorial-overlay/) that can expose your apps/web servers on every node where necessary, yet keep your DBs constrained to running inside of the overlay network and thus remain inaccessible from the outside.

If and when you need to connect them, maybe run a container with SSH and WireGuard/OpenVPN that let's you forward ports and thus get access to the overlay network, or alternatively just use orchestrator functionality (for example, Kubernetes allows this, albeit i dislike its complexity otherwise) for this.
even if someone doesn't walk us through the entire chain of proof I'd settle for clearly delineated junctions and paper trails--basically full transparency with the ability to augment and shim any gaps people identify along the way. Nothing is implemented by default though but it would be great to have this public body of work where someone can spot check on the fly to see if things line up. It's a lot to ask for with no incentive to push such a thing through but maybe I'm not seeing a potential profit motive behind such a project.
To be close to customers?
Honestly, you'd do better scripting the aws cli to update the sec group with your IP address, which is how we've handled WfH for server SSH/plesk/SQL access.

It's like half a dozen lines of bash, I'll see if I've got it on my home pc.
There is nothing really wrong with it, I used it for a while but in the end I felt like Linux with extra steps was too much.

WSL2 allowed an easy migration path to VSCode but once I had that working, I found myself learning all the CLI for dotnet, docker and AWS to replace what I was doing in Visual Studio.

At that point I had nothing to lose and switched to Debian, which had the great side effect of making Android Studio better (the emulators on Linux seem faster and more reliable).

I don't hate WSL2 but if all your tools are supported on Linux, removing Windows from the equation makes your setup much simpler. At least it does for me.

I do work for myself though, so no corporate requirements held me back.
It's the other way around. Every homeowner wants the value of their home to appreciate and the politicians they choose to elect uphold these values. Politicians listen to these homeowners over renters because turnout and political contributions are both substantially higher among homeowners.
Can you say what you are getting? I got a RAV4 which I ordered in Nov 2020 and collected in late Mar 2021. Not long after the wait list blew out to 8 months.
> The market is simply and truly insane right now.

It's ridiculous. I was very fortunate to get a CPO near the end of 2019. Whenever I take it in for service, I get both a text and an in-person request to have my car's value appraised.

They're offering 2-5K over carfax value, no questions asked -- which is currently more than I paid for the car 3 years ago! Frankly, if I lived in a more walkable/bikable area, I might do it.
> dead ends, wrong conclusions

You have to trust yourself to try anyway. Beats doomscrolling even if both are equally meaningless in the long run. Something that helps me is refusing to accept any narrative or conclusion about any topic where it would require a specific named group of people (e.g. members of any nationality, profession, corporation, ancestry, presentation, etc — anything) to be uniformly dumb or malicious.

That might sound silly but it means there’s no downside to entertaining any consideration, not even the downside of my own bad feelings from negative ideas. It totally removes a layer of mental latency I didn’t even realize I had until recently, even about topics where that wouldn’t ever be a question that’s possible to ask.

Instead of getting bogged down checking one story after another it’s easier to ignore entire storyline arcs at a time once they’re more obviously one set of jangling keys after another all vying for my attention at a higher priority than any self-directed interests :)
Because they are ending the game before it gets to that stage. Similar to seeing check mates 3, 4, 5 moves in advance, they can see with perfect play that the reduction in pieces will end in an end game with insufficient material.
Yes such things do exist. You can even have a traditional CMS like WordPress or Drupal, where content writers put content and have the build step of the static site generator pull the content down and include it.
Because people use docker-compose.yaml files verbatim, or copy docker run command lines, which more often than not do “-p 8000:8000”, instead of “-p 127.0.0.1:8000:8000”. Therein lies the issue.
I'm fine with XAML, but I don't know what XAML platform is stable and futureproof. Maybe WPF, still.
Government "Strength" could offer zero down no interest loans for converting SFH to triplexes and duplexes. Government "Strength" could fund large scale public commuter rail projects to cheaper, more rural areas. Government "Strength" could inject cash to build lots of housing, similar to what we did with the national highways.

There's much the federal government could do to alleviate the situation.
I don't think GPL will help in the software repair space, at all. If they are able to get Vizio to distribute their source code for this, I forsee Vizio just doing a clean room rewrite to move away from the codebase... and even more companies will never touch anything GPL with a 10-foot pole.

Software repair will come from different kind of regulations, not from bullying companies for not being careful with software licenses.

(Sidenote: if you use GitHub, the Insights page can help you find out whether one of your dependencies use GPL, so that you can seek alternatives).

I'm always surprised people are against rent control when instances like this are possible, while they turn around and pay their fixed rate mortgage that is the same price for 30 years straight. Rent control would have capped this increase to like 4% if that.
The documentation problem is because they're trying to be everything for everyone imo. You end up with this bizarre labyrinth of conventions (and extension points) for which the only way to navigate is the documentation (and the documentation is unclear, so...)

I'm of the mind that if you want a static site generator, then... you should just build one yourself! Something completely tailored to you can be built in about the same time that it'd take to figure out how tf to get the features you want working with whatever static generator that's popular right now.
We should be grateful our ancient ancestors did not share this sentiment when struggling against other extinction level events.
I could have said “feature parity” it doesn’t change the argument much.

This seems great in theory but it doesn’t address the time when people complain the most about draws in chess: the world championship match. There, no matter how little you award for draws, one single win can be decisive and so the games can be very dry until one player breaks.
Yeah the hipsters ride ill-fitting vintage steel racers now, some of the girls look so uncomfortable straining forward to reach the brake leaver. Fixed gear has gone back to being for a few enthusiasts and messengers and other bike weirdos like me. I’ve ridden one as a daily for years and years due to how awesome the virtually zero upkeep is, plus I personally find them safer, especially in winter.

Yeah, lots of people can't afford/don't have the space for multiple vehicles because their one vehicle no longer does everything they need. I find it such a dumb argument. A plug in hybrid which is primarily an EV is a much better idea for these situations.
The fact that they've proliferated so quickly without any regulatory intervention is insanity. I'm sure the Musk-loving techbros will disagree, since they only ever have to drive from gentrified bar in SF to gentrified dispensary in SJ, but for anyone who has worked a trade, had dirty hands at the end of the day, or lived in a less than ideal climate, the notion of all-touch controls for climate and other critical vehicle functions is irredeemable.
This is the total opposite of what you should do. Why would you uproot yourself to meet a bunch of transient people you'll never see again, or if you do it's once per year because they live across the world, when you're explicitly lonely and looking for friends? Those meetings are so pointless compared to cultivating relationships in a permanent place.

OP needs to put down roots in some place he likes and then start finding people he can hang out with regularly. If you do it right, you'll know the cashiers where you shop and the tailor and the butcher and etc. This is how you develop your social life, not by the equivalent of mindless scrolling but for irl socializing.

I imagine if a draw was counted as a loss to both sides, there would be a lot more aggressive plays, since just stonewalling a skilled opponent would be the same as losing.
Why were new construction rates depressed? It seems bad for the structure of our housing economy that we've had such a bull run in real estate over the past decade and the supply couldn't catch up and profit off of it. Too little too late shouldn't have been possible according to free market theory, but here we are with far too little much too late. I wonder what failed? Zoning changes in the last 10 years? CEQA and similar abuses becoming more prolific?
