I read a couple of the decisions from challenges to the rules that I thought were overreaching (for example: the hotel quarantine requirement even for vaccinated Canadians), and the bar held by the judges seemed incredibly low — merely that it was “necessary” for public health. No data needed, the mere assertion is enough.

I feel like in the US, states, the federal government and the judiciary tend to be more adversarial and this can be quite useful.
Actually there is a fairly secret long term version of windows 10 that also does without all the bullshit. No store, no constant massive feature updates, etc. Windows 10 LTSB / LTSC. They try to make it seem like its only for embedded machines but its basically just stripped down windows 10 with a lot more similarities (feature wise) to what windows 7 was.
This story has been told many times and this account is not the most complete.

Pixar did recover the data from a home office setup and complete the movie, but Pixar is so perfectionist about story-telling that the creative heads decided the end result wasn't good enough.

The story was rewritten and the movie changed so much that almost none of the recovered data was in the version that was finally released.

Precisely. PBM rebates are based on sales as well. Drug company gets more sales by making their drug “preferred” and PBM gets a rebate. It’s not a kickback.

>As such, attracting people into the field must take into account the ability to service the debt. Suppose starting next year all graduating med students were forevermore saddled with a $1 million med school tax upon graduation in form of a debt to the Treasury at 5% interest. Salaries for incoming doctors would eventually have to rise to take this into account in order to attract talent.

The easy way to conceptualize this is the waiting list for medschool.
Today the line is out the door and around the corner. As tuition goes up, the line will start shrinking. Only after the line is gone and fewer doctors are graduating will salaries start rising.
I like a little bit of rounding. Much like gaussian blur, the more subtle the effect, the more appealing it is (imo). Unfortunately, the design trend of over-the-top rounding has started to hit the mainstream and it scares me deeply. Microsoft has started baking-in rounded corners to their displays on Surface products (WHY?!), and MacOS now has more rounded corners than a Fischer-Price product.

It's a little ironic to me that we've literally resorted to "cutting corners" with our latest UX trends.

That's true, but if you don't focus on murders, 2020 was one of the lowest violent crime years on record looking at SF, CA as a whole, or the entire US, so 2021 having an increase in crime is nothing more than reversion to the mean.

I'm not saying what is currently being obstructed is wrong (or not) to include in a restriction on protest.

I am saying that during the pandemic for the purposes of restrictions and exceptions, people who worked at grocery stores were "critical workers". It's a big old caution for using words like "critical" which are very vague in order to implement policy assuming it will be used for things you deem to be important, because you do things like that and now there's precedent. Grocery stores are critical infrastructure now so some picket line for a labor dispute at a grocery store is now legally arguably a banned protest.

When opposed to things, people are usually very happy to give away freedoms they don't realize might have adverse consequences in the future.
Some facts (and a few polls) suggest that the Trucker convoy isn't a broadly popular movement of truckers as much as a well funded tiny minority without broad support even from truckers.

First 90% of Canadian truckers are vaccinated. https://newrepublic.com/article/165341/fox-news-vaccine-cana...

Evidence suggests that funding for this protest is in large part foreign (IE not from canada) and that most canadian donations are from wealthy business owners, not workers

Well usually isn't it just 1 or 2 chips that get manufactured and binned differently? The release of a new card is just a release of previously manufactured chips that were being held until there was a sufficient supply of that quality/binning level?

It's gotten better. The future looks like generative or screening models that feed structures to ADMET/retrosynthesis models which close a feedback loop by penalizing/rewarding the first-pass models. Then there's machine-human pair design flows that are really promising, basically ChemDraw with the aforementioned models providing real-time feedback and suggestions. It wouldn't surprise me if in a decade you could seed generative models with natural language, receive a few structures, alter them in a GUI with feedback, and then publish a retrosynthetic proposal + ADMET estimations with the candidate structure.

With high-throughput screening and automation, even small/medium-sized players can start building internal databanks for multi-objective models.
It’s true in my experience too that most workplaces are really inefficiently managed. At the beginning of each new job I tend to give benefit of the doubt for processes and decisions that appear nonsensical, but eventually I usually find out that a lot of the apparent nonsense was indeed nonsense. The hardest part of a new job is sometimes just figuring out which parts of the job is nonsense, and understand how the nonsense came to be. But then just because you understand the nonsense doesn’t mean you have the power to fix it! I have become more ok with it over time.

> If 3 dudes in a basement are entitled to sell goods/services on their own terms, then Apple should be as well.

I see no reason why that should be the case a priori.

"Apple" does not refer to the free actions of a few individuals, but to a particolar kind of profit-seeking contract called a "public company".The capabilities of such contracts can and do get restricted all the time, often with good reason.

> Apple is still a private company, not a public service, and the case I'm making is explicitly against socializing its services simply because it is big

Whereas the case I am making, conversely, can be summed up as: once a company becomes so big and/or powerful that it can prevent competition from arising outright, it should be either broken up or socialized, preferably the former.

There's no "loss of mandate". The Canadian people are overwhelmingly vaccinated and don't mind wearing masks. 90+% of truckers are fully vaccinated. Canadians re-elected Trudeau during the pandemic.

The issue is that Ottawa Police were afraid of media backlash if they did any crowd control for the initial "protest" weekend. This allowed the occupiers to move in heavy machinery as barricades. When the weekend ended and the trucks didn't move, they realized they were dealing with something closer to an insurrection than a protest, and they've been impotent to stop it since.

THe people of Ottawa overwhelmingly support ending the occupation. It has terrorized women, queer people and people of color on the streets. They've been violent and confrontational with front-line workers, which forced two grocery stores to close their doors, plus a large mall. There have been two documented attempts to burn down residential apartment buildings and trap the occupants inside.

This weekend hundreds of Ottawa residents marched in a counter-protest, and also blocked the road and held up a convoy of trucks for more than 8 hours. The occupiers are a small group of people who are acting badly - shitting in the streets, getting drunk, blaring their horns, and using their children as human shields. Everyone will celebrate when they're gone for good.

Polling whether rights should be suspended is dangerous. I know nothing of Canadian law, but in the US if 2/3 polled said a peaceful protest should be broken up by the military. The response should condemnation and reassertion of our unalienable rights.

Yes, and the emergencies act was required because the police in Ottawa were _letting the protesters violate the law with impunity_.

There are multiple _legal_, _judicial_ injunctions in place and the police are failing to enforce them. The rule of law is breaking down and that cannot be allowed to happen.

Chemist and blogger Derek Lowe has expressed his opinion [1] that, while significant and worth celebrating, AlphaFold addresses just one part of the long complex process of drug discovery. In one example [2] he cites a biotech startup that saved ~1 month in time and lab work and then discusses the many steps that remain before that drug candidate could become an actual drug.

OP describes what could potentially be AlphaFold with small molecules instead of with just proteins, and specifically calls it “chemical discovery” and not “drug discovery” more broadly. I think it’s fair to cheer for such a big advance while recognizing it wouldn’t solve everything.

No it’s not a trick it’s a feature of the parliamentary system. Arguably it’s much more Democratic in that you enable voters to choose whether they would like a change of leadership, anytime a Legislature is unable to function.

OTOH in a Presidential system you get no such opportunity to get the public’s opinion. You have to wait until the end of terms (congressional or presidential or both).

> Putting people out of work

> Shutting down civic functions

> intimidating school children

I don't know anything about Canadian government's response to the virus, but would it be fair to characterize the effects of the response as any or all of the above? Or if not affecting you directly, then those you may personally know or simply your fellow countrymen?

There's not a "guarantee" but this is the well known behavior of the evolution of diseases. There is strong evolutionary pressure to become less deadly and more infectious.

This is how basically all elections involving a minority government happen here. They’re always trying to game the election timing to upgrade to a majority. Stephen Harper did it too (minority in 2006, majority in 2008).

"Minimal" and "block important roads for weeks" don't intersect, in my view.

Nobody said they can't protest. Nobody invoked the Emergencies Act when they initially blocked the roads. When they remained blocked for a week, still nobody invoked the Emergencies Act.

Minimal protest? Sure, absolutely that should be allowed. Nobody's making it not allowed. But "minimal" isn't where these protest are, and they haven't been for a while.

Do you use Firefox because it’s a better browser or because of philosophical reasons? If it’s the former, then I want to know that somebody thinks it’s the best way to browse the web. If it’s the latter, then tell me it’s worse but the politics of supporting Google are distasteful to you.

Don’t tell me it’s “very usable” because I’m going to interpret it as the latter which may or may not be correct.
Trudeau has been in office for over 6 years. There are no term limits in Canada.

A lot of the focus I hoped that would materialize. Instead things in some ways are worse needing to be present on slack. While you can shut it off (temporarily) being in slack is far worse IMO than an open office with dozens of conversations, and constantly needing to see which ones might be relevant.

This is not a peaceful protest. There have been multiple documented assaults on the street and of people in the service industry. There were several attempts to burn down residential buildings full of people. The protestors have violated injunctions against making noises at volumes that are harmful to people's hearing, and depriving people of sleep.
I tend to agree, but the reason this example is particularly weird is that these displays have been common in Apple's computers for nearly 10 years now.

why? could you explain your stande on other mandates/requirements and what's this vax mandate does that makes it so different?

> Several APIs that make powerful web applications possible are missing (e.g. WebUSB, various filesystem access APIs) and Firefox generally tends to lag behind Chrome when it comes to new APIs/web features.

WebUSB may not be the best example, as it was disabled by Chrome because there is no way to secure it. Though I agree in general that some APIs (WebGL) were experimental and behind a flag for too long in FF.

As a counterpoint, Firefox is/was ahead on some important APIs (WASM, U2f)
