An "unsafe" set of calls from Rust to C are still no less unsafe than calling C from other C or from C++. The biggest difference is in programmer expectation, which is why it's so unfortunate when a "safe" wrapper has bugs. Rust can't fix bugs in the underlying C library either, of course. That's one place where Mozilla's recent foray into FFI via compiling to WASM then compiling the WASM to native code is very interesting to me.

> What we’re seeing isn’t anti-intellectualism, but pro-intellectualism challenge a lying orthodoxy.

When you get to this point that there's just this big lying orthodoxy instead of complicated interactions, goals, realities, and that orthodox institutions like the NIH, Harvard, FCC, FDA, etc. are all just lying or something you throw the entire house out with the bath water. I see this in people who are inclined to believe conspiracies and those who are religious. There's always some "entity" that's "doing something" and we must "oppose/believe/support" that entity. It's a fear reflex that you're not in control. The list of entities is huge. CIA. "Wall Street" "Hedge Funds" "The Deep State" "Them" "The Other" "Liberals" "Moon landings" "Fauci" "FEMA". This is actually a strain of anti-intellectualism. You're not intellectual or empowered, you're just wrong.

I do think people feel more empowered to be informed but we definitely have not developed enough social skepticism and responsibility. This is evident by people watching pundits like Tucker Carlson talk about US bioweapons labs and "believing" that this somehow matters even if it were completely true. You yourself make a clear example of this with your "heart problems" assertion, without the proper context about the risk of catching COVID, long-term health effects caused by COVID, etc. It's dishonesty couched in intellectualism.

Let's do a simple exercise. Exactly how many people have died from heart problems caused by the second dose of "certain" vaccines?

Meanwhile, the worst case in America is around a million excess deaths have occured due to COVID-19. Don't believe those "liberal" numbers? Ok. 10% of that number. 100k people. Compared to... how many have these so-called heart problems? You are completely failing at understanding risk and cost-benefit analysis. Completely.

I have a very negative reaction to your post here because it's cynical and sinister and whether intentionally or not it undermines everything we have with no discernible benefit. The logical conclusion of your comments is something akin to burning down Harvard and the NIH and the SEC and replacing them with nothing and then pretending you are somehow "empowered" and "intellectual". You're not. All you've done is destroyed everything.

1. How many photos from the war have you seen of farmland? It's not exactly the prime battleground.

2. We can assume that you can recognize winter wheat at this stage from photos not focused on the crop? It, of course, looks like someone's dead lawn when it first emerges from it's winter rest. Hard to differentiate from any other grassy area unless the photo has a lot of detail.

On that note, I started looking at some random pictures after I read your comment. I came across this one[1] of a field. Wheat or no in your opinion? In my opinion as a winter wheat grower: I have no idea. Maybe.

Thanks -- this is precisely the kind of info-filled reply I was hoping for :-)
At the start of the pandemic, an academic at a well-known university asked me to review a paper of his, kinda sorta to build a relationship and to eventually publish something of my own based on his paper. The claim of the paper was basically that white (non-hispanic) communities were significantly more affected by COVID when compared against other races in similar income brackets. Lots of statistics, analysis against census data, etc to support the argument and such. The source of the data from his paper was from an "open data" portal of COVID deaths, published by the city's coroner's office.

Thing is, the data published by the coroner's office didn't include a lot of fields that I'd already received from FOIA. Fields missing like the name of the person who died. Since the paper's conclusions didn't pass a gut check, I dug in and found that just glancing through the names of those marked down as "white", a majority clearly had names with Hispanic origins.

I shared with the researcher that his findings were probably really, really wrong and I was responded with something like, "even if 50% are marked wrong, the findings are still accurate". Some name comparison [1] and spot checking later.. and it ended up being about 80% of hispanic-origin names were marked as "white".

The researcher eventually conceded that the paper was wrong, but it was definitely of an eye opening experience into how the academic world works. I lost a lot of faith in the academic world after that.

I have exactly the opposite opinion, for couple of reasons:

1. interviews are black boxes - there's no feedback; getting feedback from a professional interviewer is the best way to understand one's weaknesses

2. dealing with pressure in simulated environment can help (a lot, for some) to handle pressure in a real one.

I had no idea, for example, why I didn't fare well in a certain type of interview, until I did a mock one.
That's completely besides the point of what I was getting at. They put out press releases and pitch decks boasting on how they were going to develop the best social network that the world had ever seen.

Oh, I see. Yeah, that's a bug in the design, because it's trying to infer metadata from unstructured content.

The fallacy to these findings and conclusions is that you're measuring processes of your own brand and flavor; the biases are so deep you likely don't recognize them.

On what laptops does sleep/hibernate work correctly when you close the lid, with Mint?

Seriously, swear to fucking god, every time someone says “oh Linux just works”, the next comment is “oh? I tried that distro on the recommended hardware and had trouble with…”

Next response is ALWAYS: “Oh yeah that’s broken but I don’t use that feature.” Usually about hibernate. As in, apparently everyone using a laptop plugged into a wall and never closes the lid. Or uses a desktop. I don’t even know, it doesn’t make any goddamn sense.

I just don’t believe you guys any more. Everyone who says Linux just works has adapted their workflows to be hyper specific to the things they do, and have just decided that basic-ass features present and working on mainstream OSes are just gimmicks that the rest of us should forgo out of moral purity.

I was really searching for the "Why," since the title implied the article held an explicit answer beyond, "Because."
Exactly, miners are paid in bitcoin but they need to pay the electricity bills with real money. This creates a constant selling pressure that has to be countered with aggressive marketing.
Respectfully, no, you're the one who's been misinformed here. The Atlantic article describes a large number of independent organizations doing this, including at least three state health departments in Minnesota, Utah, and New York. New York in particular didn't change this even after it was pointed out, and still has published guidance (https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/system/files/documents/202...) that "Non-white race or Hispanic/Latino ethnicity" should be considered a risk factor for prioritization purposes.
Well, the article (which I hugely enjoyed reading and learned a lot from) concludes:

"Those of us who believe that individual responsibility is a far better route to success than racialization can still reverse what Ylvisaker, Samora, Alinsky, and the rest have wrought."

I'll hit that another way. I took an American Studies class in university required through the School of Humanities for my math degree. It was taught by a Fullbright scholar. One of the assigned books was Horatio's "Ragged Dick". By the teacher's assessment, this is a book for kids - which it is. But the shoe shiner boy in the book Dick exemplified a decently good take on what it is to be American in a way that that doesn't engage race, victimization. In particular,

- Dick had street smarts

- Dick worked hard, got out early to the good spots for shines. He was always on the look out for opportunity

- Dick periodically bought supper for his shoe shiner fellows if they were down on their luck (empathy)

- Dick did a good job on his shines and got tips

- Going the other way, Dick received help and recognition from his betters (read vaguely rich) which he accepted. Through their help he got into school and received a new suit. He started to learn how to read.

- Dick didn't whine; he was quick with a joke or good story. Ex: when asked why his pants were so old, dirty rather than bemoan his situation he said that in fact they were Napoleon's trousers e.g. from a strong and venerable person.

To me this silly kids' book gets a lot right.

Now to be fair it has been criticized too ... it's hard to fully escape injustice. A New Yorker article some years ago took Horatio to task for never engaging slavery, the class system in England, and other injustices. In a sense Horatio ducked some of the hard issues nevertheless giving a decent take on what we want in fellow Americans as I see it: go-getter, competent, forward looking, mostly cheerful, and connected to his fellows.

There's some strange parallels of Ylvisaker, Samora, Alinsky to Russian intellectuals who started Communism. I not taking on or wanting to engage Communism here at all. I am simply pointing out that some strange effects arise when relatively richer, intellects try to "fix" things for other people they claim they're helping.

>What happens if I pay for something with a credit card and the vendor fails to deliver?

You are comparing crypto to a service that a third party provides on top of fiat. It's not a fair comparison as there is nothing stopping third parties providing the same service on top of crypto (and the third party does not necessary need human intervention to function when both parties act in good faith).

The more accurate comparison is: "What happens if I pay for a service or good upfront with cash, and get stiffed?"

Answer: If you know who they are, you take them to court and use the existing legal infrastructure. If you don't know who they are or it's too low value to be worth fighting, you leave them a bad review and share your bad experience with others to help them avoid the same.

>The only "trust" problem cryptocurrencies solved was keeping track of stuff like account balances in a distributed ledger, but that's purely a problem created by the ideological choice of a distributed ledger.

Keeping track of balances is a tough problem that did not (and still doesn't) have a good solution for after many decades of operation. Transfers between banks take days to settle (and weeks to finalize), same for payments between users and businesses.

Was it feasible to solve keeping track of balances between semi-trustworthy actors on a faster scale and without DLTs (Distributed Ledger Technologies)? Sure... but it has not eventuated and there was no sign it ever would. The telling sign for me is that many financial institutions are looking at, developing or rolling out their own implementations based on the demonstrated principles in crypto. That's good news, but I guess doesn't count for anything for some reason?
To tangent on the device switching. Are there any headphones that mix all active streams? Why not?

Some guesses:

1. Energy use? It should be pretty easy to avoid complex mixing when only one stream is active anyways. If multiple streams are active then it is probably worth the energy cost.

2. Bluetooth bandwidth? I can imagine that if you are using the same hardware to manage all connections you can run out of bandwidth?

Because this bugs me a lot. My headphones (non AirPods) usually get it right. But even then the switching is often slow. Of course they also sometimes connect to the wrong device and then it is a huge pain.

I'm sensing a theme here in creating strawmen. My advice to you would be attempt to steelman opposing views. Attempt to find synthesis between your initial notions and the best parts of the opposing views.

To answer you question at a high-level: Rationing based on things people have ZERO control over seems worse to me than rationing based on things people have SOME (even if a little) control over.

And there of course will be a litany of hypothetical/real scenarios that we could drum up for each rationing strategy that shows people losing out (it's rationing, no matter what some people will not end up with access!). And highlighting one side of the costs doesn't immediately mean that the other side isn't more ethical.
