They seemed surprised by some of those results, and I hope they continue to dig into it.

They cite "double-digit differences in flu and pneumococcal vaccination rates". I wonder if perhaps patients don't respond to NPs and PAs who say "you need a vaccine", but will accept it from a doctor. Perhaps the solution isn't to ensure access to a doctor, but find other ways to get patients to trust the non-doctor providers.

I'm sure there are a lot of confounding factors, making that difficult. And they surely don't need Some Guy On The Internet pointing them out. But I hope they look into them, rather than just naively concluding that PAs and NPs can't do a lot of jobs for which they should be qualified.

it's not only doable, but exciting if he is able to get into in.

also, i would in the first stage drop the professional from professional programming. He needs to grok what programming is at a newbie/hobby level first and needs to enjoy it before even thinking about anything professional.

he also needs to understand that this is a long journey (ie it will take years to be any good and/or have someone pay him to write code). If he has the patience and determination to do it he will be successful.

Personal anecdote…

My father worked into his 80s and I saw firsthand how once he hit 60 years old how much harder it was for him to land a new job. As such, I’ve always gone out of my way to ensure such folks get a fair shot in my ~25 years of being a people manager.

And every time I’ve hired someone 60+, even if they are new/junior for the role - it’s worked out in spades.

The unique perspective, what’s seems like a “new” problem is often an already solved problem from decades ago, just the wealth of knowledge … and again, this surprising still applies even if the individual is junior in their experience.

What’s best is the work ethic & respect. It’s sad but true, that individual knows you could have easily hired a 20 year old kid but didn’t. And the thanks, trust and respect you immediately gain with them often translates into them becoming a dedicate individual who goes above and beyond in their job.

So just saying, please actively give these folks their fair shot and not just hire the new kid straight out of college.

And that 61 year old might be you some day.

There was a limited time window in the early 2000s where many cars used only obfuscated access or a cryptographically insecure PIN code for key enrollment, but most modern cars use an attempt at cryptographic security with a centralized server.

If you want to see what's possible with modern cars, keywords like "VVDI" or "Abrites" and "All Keys Lost" will show you what aftermarket tools are capable of. Generally speaking, the capabilities in these tools are roughly equivalent to those the most sophisticated criminals have, as they're usually just stealing the techniques from one another in a big circle.

The level of security varies heavily from manufacturer to manufacturer.

For example, most modern VW cars require using an ECU exploit (which depending on the specific ECU, almost always requires physically removing the control unit and sometimes requires opening it) to extract encryption key data (CS/MAC) or physical extraction of the instrument cluster EEPROM.

However other manufacturers like Toyota seem to be more vulnerable to other exploits (I only research VW for the most part, so I frankly have no idea what's going on here), including a bizarre process which seems to require disassembling the steering column and unplugging a connector.

I'd be very curious to know if the work on P2P Matrix servers is going to include some level of support for client-side bridges?

I know the P2P work and bridging aren't quite the same thing, but it seems like the two are vaguely related: if you've got a bridge running, I suspect that would have a lot of the same concerns as running a Matrix server locally. And I get that for some clients like iMessage, your bridge has to be running on a Mac, but that isn't the case for most other messaging platforms, is it?
That's what a lot of people thought in the 2000s, but going by SV salaries the automate or offshore story hasn't really played out! Then again, horses seem to have lost their job in the early 20th century after cars came along, and their population just declined thereafter.
Do you see yourselves as adding light novels eventually? I read a couple series, like _Sword Art Online: Progressive_, and usually need to buy each new official translation. They aren't expensive, but I would much prefer a subscription model where I can just pay to read them (and potentially reread/review a previous one to catch up) as they're released or all at once.
Overall, I enjoyed the analysis of the piece, but I disagree with their take on market cap.

Amy Castor - "Yeah, market cap is a meaningless number. It assumes everyone bought at the current price and could cash out at the current price."

We could just as easily apply that basic logic to any security. Amazon(AMZN) is ~3275 a share with a market cap of ~1.668T. That also assumes everyone could cash out at ~3275, but the reality is if selling pressure is higher than the buy side demand that selling shares will drive the price down as buyers would be able to continually bid lower. Eventually it would reach ~0 share price and effectively a 0 market cap.

So in that sense token market cap is a fair equivalency. What makes a dollar worth a dollar? Crypto value at any given point in time is just an exchange value against fiat currencies. This isn't much different than an exchange value between USD and the Ruble; it will fluctuate.

Which standard is that? ePubs, for example, use canonical fragment identifiers, which could also work on HTML. I think hypothes.is uses them too but adds fuzzy matching fields so that they can match up after document changes. At least from what I remember

I'm working on an annotation project myself, though not really related to what the parent commenter is looking for. A generic solution to the highlight/annotation problem is quite difficult, especially if you allow for document changes.
You added more data to my view and definitely made me think. Thanks for that!
I mostly use XMPP for secure communication. Sadly, Matrix does not built upon the XMPP standard and reinvents another incompatible E2EE chat protocol.
> That just means it's not compound interest.

that's not true. simple interest is calculated on the remaining principal, thus it does continue to accrue with time (which this "zero interest 50%" does not)

compound interest means interest calculated on the remaining principal and on accrued interest.

Well, it's the theory Google was operating under.

This is from the DOJ's brief:

> Plaintiffs respectfully request the Court to sanction Google LLC (Google) for its extensive and intentional efforts to misuse the attorney-client privilege to hide business documents relevant to this case. Google has explicitly and repeatedly instructed its employees to shield important business communications from discovery by using false requests for legal advice. These efforts directly harmed Plaintiffs, undermined their discovery efforts, and subverted the judicial process. The Court should sanction Google and order the full production of withheld and redacted emails where in-house counsel was included in a communication between non-attorneys and did not respond. Alternatively, the Court should hold these silent-attorney emails are not privileged and immediately order their production.
I think you might find lots of economics results to be “trivial”, because the results do not contain the value of the work. Constructing a model, linking it to reality, and finding that it fits our expectations (captured in the “trivial conclusion”) and is robust to secondary factors is what’s valuable.

Think about the study of inflation. I’m sure lots of work has been done to show how low interest rates have impacted inflation. I won’t be surprised when they show how these interest rates have led to increased inflation, but I’ll be interested in the mechanics and model leading to the unsurprising result.

> can't tell what kind is the wrong kind

To some extent you can tell from their title and previous work, just like with developers. Foe example, I had an entirely non-technical boss that understood I might not be the guy to re-write some printer drivers because I was a web developer. He didn't know the specifics, but being in charge, knew he had to ask someone who did, or do enough research to figure it out.

Likewise, UI designers will specialize in designing UIs and be better at making buttons look like buttons than Graphic Designers, and Experience Designers will be better at integrating user feedback and research into projects. Just like you wouldn't trust any one developer to implement critical functionality you don't understand without outside input, you probably shouldn't rely on one designer to that either. If you maintain a project, though, you can't expect designers to instinctually work around what you don't know. Being in charge means that you're in charge of figuring out how to evaluate it. I'm positive that a "I'm not sure how to interface with this sort of thing. Let's work through it so I can figure it out." will be received kindly by people you should consider working with. Good design proposals should already come with explanation and justification to help you down the path

This is a random selection from a google image search of proposal ideas. It was from another post where I was talking about higher-level topics but the principle is the same. Changing a set of control widgets should require no less thought and explanation.

That's for sure not going to work in rainforest environments, temperate (the PNW) or tropical, though it might work in drier or hotter climates.
I think the problem is, since working fully remote means spending about twice as much time in formally scheduled meetings, and those meetings are significantly more draining on Zoom than in person, both I and the people I might socialize with feel a lot more drained at the end of the work day and less interested in doing anything non-vegetative. Previously we would go for dinner or drinks after work pretty often.
The effect is compounding too because those people will spend less time driving and idling their engines!
These printers also have an expansion network card.

A decade ago I worked on a project to deploy a couple hundred of these to a restaurant chain as part of a POC for an online ordering program for pickup orders. The requirement for each franchisee was to acquire a static IP and configure one of these printers to bind that static address using a network card that replaced the serial connection. The online interface from the vendor was configured with that static address and sent text over TCP to print the incoming orders. The printer than just printed whatever it received.

The project was initially deployed without any whitelisting or authentication (at the vendors behest) so for a couple months these printers were printing a mixture of garbage and scan attempts from random devices connecting. It was quite humorous at the time but scares the hell out of me given the other things that were on that internal network. The project failed for other reasons, but it looks like that particular vendor is still around.
Exactly, why should we allow someone else to make their problem our problem?
Most emulators are able to export a PNG that you could then print with something like this project! They don't support using a webcam with the ROM for the Game Boy Camera though.

If you buy the real thing, there are lots of projects for extracting and printing the pictures though.

This project implements a fake GB Printer that you can then access via WiFi to download the prints: https://github.com/zenaro147/NeoGB-Printer

> ASVAB, IQ, and SAT scores are strongly correlated to one another, even though they use slightly different testing methodologies and focus in some ways on different things.

It's also possible that single cultural factors could be so pervasive that they overwhelmingly swamp any signal by forcing a correlation just on its own.

eg: Before the 1960s or so, you could look at every society that had ever existed and make the observation that, except for a countable list of exceptions, men received more education that women. This might lead you to a natural conclusion that men have some natural innate advantage in receiving education that women lack.

Except that's not the truth at all, the truth is that patriarchy was such a universal of the human condition that it affected every single corner of the planet to such an extent that there was no control group until very, very recently. So much so that even the slightest letting off of patriarchy shows women are so much more innately suited to education that colleges have had to quietly implement affirmative action programs for men simply to keep their gender balances even remotely in check.

Many people would argue that classism and racism so thoroughly pervades our understanding of intelligence that we will simply never get our control group until some future date when they recede enough for us to truly see their effects.
Thanks both for very good ideas! We haven’t explored these ideas yet, but definitely interesting thoughts to consider as we build Sky Roads!
It's not his age that's an issue, but his inability to find work although he has a varied skillset.
There's a vast chasm between
a) professional programming
b) just enough knowledge for an auxiliary role
c) zero programming

There's a huge media frenzy around a) when in fact we don't need as many software developers, as we need people in b) and c). Product managers, project managers, service managers, IT risk and governance ... there's a whole world of opportunity. Best part? Doesn't take hours of work, experience/people skills is an advantage and you won't be up against coding geniuses.

It makes sense for him to go into 'tech'. It makes no sense for him to try and be a professional programmer competing with people a quarter of his age. Of course if that's his passion, fair enough. But if it's just a question of time ROI, nope. There are better ways.

> Imagine how up-in-arms if they gigified programming

Programmers would be up in arms in love with gig work and demand it everywhere if it turned out to actually work. The main problem with WFH is that you still have to work a set hours per week, gig work is the ideal. If you want to work 80 hours one week and 0 hours the next week you can do so. Gig work also means no deadlines, no manager, no long term worries, just write code and get instant money and feedback. The only reason you don't see developers clamoring for gig work right now is that they don't think gig work is possible for development.

> Is "stable" now a negative thing?

The XEP page indicates the proposal is still subject to change ("some changes to the protocol are possible before it becomes a Final Standard.)". That kind of thing sometimes holds up adoption of standards, creates incompatible implementations. But you've demonstrated it clearly doesn't in this case.

> This problem is solved, since a long time :)

I stand corrected! Thank you for your instructive reply.

Well, sophisticated people also think it's money, but they entered '12-'17 and stopped talking about it. A more recent example though is Neuberger Berman's entrance.

The tragedy of the crypto moment is serious folks who didn't come from crypto made up their minds about it and did it a while ago, but articles like OP run interference against "everyone else" doing the same.

My path, which began in 1997:

1. IRC
I tried matrix bridged to IRC (libera) a while ago. It didn't sync back to matrix properly when people on irc left the channel, so you'd try to talk to someone on irc who wasn't there anymore. One time, a person on irc couldn't see any messages by any matrix users until they reconnected to the Network. And IRC is an old, open, well understood protocol. I just cannot imagine that a bridge to eg Whatsapp would result in anything even remotely usable.
Agreed. ID was really a dream team at that time (probably before Romero left). Small team, everyone already bagged multi year gamedev exp before (I think Carmack shipped a few games since 1989 and Romero a lot more from mid 80s); Everyone is passionate so no management overhead; Very disciplined;

A dream team.

https://www.w3.org/annotation/

I read through the docs when they first came out but I don't remember all of the details anymore. Fragment identifiers are part of it though. I've gone back and forth on how much I like them, allowing for document changes is always going to make stuff really complicated, fuzzy/fragment matching is about the best you can do I think without the cooperation of the source you're annotating.

It feels like annotations probably should be tied to specific document versions, but I also get the reasoning why they're not in this proposal. Unless you're self-hosting everything or forcing everything to go through the Internet Archive... it's just kind of difficult.

I've been curious about trying to get annotations to work before using something like Matrix to handle accounts/groups, but not curious enough to actually try to build a working example.
