You're hinting that most accusations of heresy come from the right (evangelical christians), rather than the left. This almost seems absurd to me, as someone who consumes a wide range of news media every day.
yes, and also ixilang: https://github.com/thormagnusson/ixilang
While we all think of the 'right to die' or 'live life to the fullest', we should also think about how we can stop metastatic cancer. As I continue to read on the biology of cancer (due to several family illnesses), it seems so strange how epithelial cells not only bypass cell growth restrictions, but also migrate and survive in places in the body it shouldn't be in. How do tumor cells create a micro environment and thrive? How can we disable this?

Although tumor cells vary wildly, my gut feeling is there may be a few commonalities we can surface that can slow down metastatic progression. Car-T cell therapy doesn't seem to be the way forward. Keytruda and immunotherapy seems more likely. Can we do better?
^^^ great hint! needs to be known more
Good thinking if they did. Letting him onto the board of Twitter would basically be like letting a cokehead run a drug cartel.
"Just build a 10m tall San Francisco sized battery farm lol smh"

Congratulations on suggesting the most impractical, stupidly dangerous (mmmmh battery fires), impossible to make, single point of failure. At least it won't be attacked because it only lasts a single day anyways.

Stick to philosophy and let actual engineers build a grid, thank you.
I believe societies weren't that different, they probably tried to reinvent rules and laws too. Cycling around, massaging ideas until they provided enough social stability to stay.

It's easy to assume ego is behind making a new language, but many languages were imperfect creations based on a set of strange constraints.

It's also a honest path too, you don't like something, you make your own. Some people would rant about the existing state of things which is not helping. A working website was made with it so it's not a toy.

Most things exist because the status quo felt not good enough that someone tried another path.

And in the context of lisp it's a very strange attack.. lisp explicitly embedded the foundation for people to build their own dialects so they wouldn't have to suffer prior decisions too much.
Not one where the first round employs most of the strategic deterrent. The logistics required to do a second round is unlikely to be available.

The point of keeping inventory is that it is possible, if deemed necessary, to quietly scale up the number of warheads prior to any nuclear exchange, should the situation warrant it. Also, there is very limited capacity to produce new warhead assemblies, so keeping the old triggers around provides optionality for a relatively low cost while also creating a patina of uncertainty about capacity for adversaries.
Try solid.js [1]

I have been using it for a month now and love it. If you are coming from react the API is familiar enough that you can get productive in a day or two. Reliance on observables is a big plus for me (no virtual dom diffing) and the dom reconciliation is very similar to lit. Check out the author's blog posts [2] for more details.

If are into jamstack, Astro [3] has good support for solidjs already and offers an easy way for selective hydration of dynamic parts of the UI.

The component ecosystem is a bit lacking compared to react/vue, but it pairs well with pure css libraries like bulma/daisyui or webcomponent libraries like ionic/shoelace.

And you can also wrap your solid components as web components and use them in a larger app without converting it all to use solidjs.

Agreed. I took notice of OP's narrow view of "tech" and somehow binding web-dev to (assumed here) everything else. Not everything in tech is about gluing frameworks.
The pessimist in my brain keeps waiting for someone to prove mathematically that they’re impossible. NP complete might be fine for many uses, since the branching factor for code for example is pretty low. But for some people NP complete is a magical force field that shuts off all rational thought.
That article doesn't at all refute the fact that a ton of centrists have very reasonable beliefs and are loud about them. "Citation required" is a zero-content contribution, please go away.
> it didn't ban absentee voting

Right, it just makes it significantly more difficult, which means more people are required to vote in person.

> There are explicit provisions for people without driver's licenses in it,

Right, which you need to be familiar with and be able to assert your rights about.

Here's three questions:

1. All else equal, will this law decrease turnout by predominantly black working class voters?

2. Did the bills drafters intend this?

Three answers to both of those are "yes". Which brings up the third question: why isn't that discriminatory?
That's really only an issue if enough of the shareholders decide to sue or you're straight up abusing your position (i.e. embezzling).

Otherwise, you can always make some stuff up about it being a long-term strategy. But, fundamentally, making a bad call isn't a violation of fiduciary duty (unless there's documents saying you know it will tank beforehand and you do it anyway).
Well how do you feel about the comparison to booleans?

If I had a way to set some booleans "unchecked", in a way that could make the numerical value be 5, would you label it unsafe?

I really think it should be unsafe, because it's crazy to make ifs or switches on booleans be non-exhaustive, and it's also crazy to have an "invalid boolean" path anywhere one is used.

When you have an encapsulated value, with special accessors to make sure it's always in range, then you don't have to have an unchecked setter function at all. But if you do add one, I think it makes sense to make it unsafe. That function is basically allowing a blind memcpy over a piece of data. It ties into safety pretty strongly. That kind of access is a lot like dereferencing a raw pointer, and not making it unsafe means you allow a lot of those "invalid value" cases in the link to be possible in safe code.
The issue is then recovering the energy from said rocks, or not wasting too much energy lifting the rocks in the first place.
Besides the character limit, there's an embarrassing number of reasons people might share screenshots of tweets:

- to "retweet" without notifying the person and being linked to as a "quote tweet" on the OP

- to share a post in a controversial context where many people are blocked by the tweeter in question (if you're blocked by someone, you can't read their tweets)

- to share a post you expect will be deleted shortly

- to screengrab a couple of posts that make up necessary context and wouldn't make sense if retweeted on their own

To your point about people using screenreaders etc, it seems to me that it would be fairly trivial (cputime aside) to OCR tweets and automatically apply alt-text, but instead they rely on the uploader to enter it manually.
Quite a bit of Sun software engineering ended up at Google so you're not wrong. Especially after Oracle shut down all Sun software development and laid everyone off in 2017 there was a huge wave of referral hiring.
No, LLVM is configured by rustc to NOT to check its input (for performance reasons), so it's normal for it to crash if fed invalid input. The bug is 100% in rustc's court.
I know a lot of designers that use Pinterest to create moodboards for client projects.

Search for images fitting a specific mood/look they are going after and ordering them into collections (or however Pinterest calls it) is their most important feature.

This easy discovery is something they wouldn't get out of "/cgi-bin/gallery.pl".

What irks me personally about Pinterest is their SEO spam. Offloading externalities (image spam) onto all of us for their growth tactic. Classic 'tragedy of the commons'.
Yes.. would it change if it was on upwork or at google or in ruby or golang?
They already had an official emulator they sold that ran on SPARC/Solaris, for 68k software at least https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_Application_Environm...
thanks for pointing something out that is in the article?!
That's pretty much how AI image compression works - you're describing standard autoencoder (encoder/decoder) architecture with some adaptiveness.
Why are cookies outdated in general?

Hating Elon will not get you anywhere further in life, you can stop now.
I consume a wide range of media every day and I've never seen a bill that "restricts voting access for people of color". It's an extraordinary claim so you would to need provide strong evidence, rather than being dismissive.
Great game, I've enjoyed it so much!
They briefly mention it, but quickly move on to "the FBI doesn't knock down rich people's doors". In this case it's more likely these particular rich people (i.e. well-connected people in the US government) than a blanket policy of "don't knock down doors in affluent neighborhoods".
Nihilist? I didn’t get that impression at all. Meaning may be socially-constructed, but (almost by definition) that cannot imply meaninglessness or pointlessness. To the contrary, they’re imagining a constructive process here.
sounds like literal torture. i don't think you are joking, but it's hard to be sure.

It's worth a lot of money for the ad-tech (consumer tracking) industry to understand.

If a domain only occurs once in a user database, it's likely to be a personal domain. A data broker that sees the same domain in a few different datasets (once in each) can be quite confident that the domain is an individual's.
I think most people forget or are unaware that Twitter was dying before Trump came in and made it an essential platform for every politician and media outlet.

My bet is that engagement is down with all the moderation. This is not an endorsement of Trump, just an acknowledgement of what made Twitter huge/powerful in the first place.
This is silicon valley drama in real life. Richard Hendricks wanting to join Hooli board.

I hate to be that person, but after reading all 7 posts I am starting to question if this is fake.

I saw a family member go from diagnosis to death from stage 4 cancer and several things just feel off to me. The timeline of the posts, with an initial expected death by end of April, then extended to next winter then a sudden "routine scan" that brings to back to end of April feels odd to me. Her energy to travel, sleep without meaningful heating in a van during the winter, deal with a van that keeps breaking down, and generally be active is also confusing to me. And the feel good writing, over 7 posts, starts to feel repetitively vague.
What part of America? I don't know anyone who does that, unless they are in a group of people they know.
Indeed, caring for the society more than the individual and all-powerful governments are at best orthogonal, at worst inversely correlated.

Take Hong Kong for example. Citizens are mindful and care about the collective a lot, while having individual business to take care of. In daily life they are conscious about following the rules not because they are forced to but because if they didn’t the dense city would come to standstill within minutes. HK was never under a communist dictatorship.

Similar with Japan and Korea, which are not dictatorships and thus the case for an all-powerful government is very tough to make (a government that is democratically elected to enforce the will of the people is hardly an all-powerful government—it’s the people who are all-powerful in that scenario).

Meanwhile, over in the mainland China you get selfish drivers speeding through red lights, giant interchanges full of cars at standstill (presumably, due to such behavior), organized scam mafia employing trafficked children to “sell flowers” on subway stations, etc.

I’d argue that all-powerful government is in fact the supreme (but hidden) example of individualism where power-hungry individuals on top do everything to ensure they reign forever and cannot be replaced, everybody else be damned; and the rest of the country (whether consciously realizing it or not) follows the example set by their leaders.

A factor that might correlate with societies being less individualistic is ethnical homogeneity. I hope there are examples to the contrary, though.
My impression is the Shanghai govt isn't letting anyone leave.
To me it follows a pattern of always taking the easy route at the expense of the user.

Don't host your own fonts, just link to Google. Don't host your own scripts, link to Google. Who knows who sees those access logs. Need to Auth the user? Here store this encoded personal data for me. Gee, I like this feature <copy/paste in 2mb worth of frameworks to enable 6 lines of functionality>.
Then just don’t use those apps? I don’t, and nobody above 30 in my circle does. No need stay in caves, just adapt some culture.
A good one I saw once (and saved me tedious image->data extraction): something like "Why are you trying to copy this image for the data, find the full data tables at..."
i got these Bose QuietComfort noise cancelling earbuds, and they are like magic, cancelling out bass noise from nearby outdoor stereos. i can't believe how well they work. I live by the beach where people play loud music---the concrete walls do OK for the midrange and treble noises, but not the bass.
Excellent rebuttal and good links.

But they are both for one-offs - single events or single rogue employees. One offs always happen. Systematic, Enron-style ingrained fraud is quite another.

The idea that Apple is systematically reading people's emails - with all the multitude of supporting rogues employees, right down to SREs to keep things running that would need to be in on the act - is absurd, truly a ticket on the consipiracy theory train.
I think this was a polite way of saying they couldn't agree on terms of his board position. For example, he would probably have been restricted on the kinds of tweets he could make. He recently started a poll asking if he should turn Twitter HQ into a homeless shelter because so few people show up. They would certainly not want him doing that if he's on the board.
Designers use it to visualize the look (or mood) the would be going for in a design. They collect examples of images that all go into the same rough direction they could be going for in a design and collect those into one moodboard.

Then they would contrast that with a different direction on a second moodboard. And oftentimes more than two directions.

These help them to narrow down potential avenues to explore further. Either for themselves or especially with a client. Clients often profit from the visual aspect enabling them to point out what they like (and especially what they do not like). The designer can then ask questions regarding what especially they like, if it is the color, the combination of colors, the way the font is set and so on.

From there the designer starts their own exploration of what they learned from the client (or from asking themselves the same questions). It's a tool for exploring a space of vast possibilities and narrowing them down onto a manageable level.

[Edit] * Disclaimer *
I am not a Designer. But I've worked with quite a few and found moodboards to be a helpful tool. But they can have their drawbacks when clients fall in love with one or two specific examples in a moodboard and are disappointed because the designer's own exploration will necessarily differ from those.

The article was about heresy which he defines as something which is factually true, not generic notions of free speech.

If I can respectfully say something here: you're making sweeping statements about people based on their race etc. It's going to be difficult to make persuasive arguments if that is your debating starting point.
Why workers and employers are ghosting each other
Yup my bad, I misremembered the factor.
With google, even if you’re encrypting. Gmail, even in the shiny incarnation, only supports server-hosted private keys. A private key that you must give to your service provider is about as useful as a chocolate teapot, imho.
what's also scary is that he could do this with pretty much every public company he wants (very few exceptions of companies with >200B market cap or so).
Bret Taylor got his way.
Assuming Musk did take over Twitter, he wouldn't need to be much of a distraction. He could dictate a few rules (don't moderate Twitter, don't ban anyone, etc.) and then leave the company to function as it did before.

Not really. One of the hard things about changing the course of a company is that you actually need people to do the things you want them to do. That means actually being hands on and checking things are getting done. Otherwise people will nod and agree in meetings and then just carry on as they were before. This is especially hard if people are resistant to the changes you want to make.

Taking over and issuing commands doesn't work unless people have nowhere else to go. If Elon tried that at Twitter there would probably be an exodus of engineering and ops people.
Everything I've Learned In the Last 13 Years
Side question, why does a site need cookies?
My kids preschool is closed next week so we're visiting some friends in NorCal, up from SoCal, for a few days.

Last night, after the kids got to sleep, I saw my friends stack of mail and right on the top was a weekly mailer. The very top advertisement on the flyer was for a weekly dog poop pick up service. They'll come by your place once a week to pick up Scruffy's poop and deodorize the yard.

My point here: There are so many dog owners who should not own dogs.

I wonder if that will change. Recently I noticed they don't show their own stop watch anymore. Some website shows up that you have to click into.
I don't think you need to put "heresies" in vague quotes. He's defined it quite clearly as factually correct statements which will destroy your career and social life if stated.
He definitely would not pass if that check includes a drug test.
I'm talking about their spatial position. They're literally in the exact same spot all the time, they're not attached to little robots that try and move like people at a conference.
Are there many neighborhoods packed with unconnected rich folks?
Elon didn't found Tesla. He executed a board takeover. My guess is that's what he wanted to do with Twitter, didn't have the support, and bailed. Also the fiduciary stuff probably threw him off; I don't get the vibe that he actually wants to fix things so much as he wants Twitter to be his personal playground.

He clearly doesn't have anyone around him who has the balls to tell him no, and that's never a good thing.
As someone who had to travel to the bay area for years I'll add: Caltrain honking its way through all suburbs, even at night.
Came here to say the same thing. It is pretty ironic that in an essay that is basically criticizing people who can’t put up with heretics, he is doing the same thing with regards to "anti-vaxxers" without even realizing it. It doesn’t help that the term specifically (according to Merriam-Webster) is defined as:

> a person who opposes the use of vaccines or regulations mandating vaccination

It is a loaded term that is used mostly as a means to vilify people. There must be a lot of people who are pro vaccine, but against government mandates, so where does that leave them? Also, it is possible to be generally pro vaccines, but also skeptical of new vaccine technologies rushed through development and regulatory approvals in record time where the companies leading the push have a history of putting profits ahead of public health.

The fact that your comment shows up in gray here is further proof of the exact dynamic that he is referring to in the essay:

> But occasionally, like a vector field whose elements become aligned, a large number of aggressively conventional-minded people unite behind some ideology all at once. Then they become much more of a problem, because a mob dynamic takes over, where the enthusiasm of each participant is increased by the enthusiasm of the others.
At least the alt-text makes sense. The image has so many mistakes in it. Words are missing, sentences left dangling. The alt-text was probably the template they gave him.
Title makes an erroneous insinuation.

"Outbreak in the lab" does not mean "virus originated from within lab".
I think that Delaware has a takeover statute that’ll basically for the next few years prevent Musk from effecting a hostile takeover without the support of the board. And if he acquirers enough shares to to become a “controlling” stockholder, he’ll owe fiduciary duties to the rest of the stockholders based on his status as a controller.
Asking the important questions !
>For numbers, Metaculus collectively puts China annexing Taiwan by 2050 at around 50%

I really don't see how that's any more accurate than tea leaves or bones...

One could just as easily argue it's 84%, because a crackhead gave him that number in response to a cheeseburger.
The explanation is as clear as you'll get. They wanted Elon to act like a board member – be a fiduciary of the company, be trusted with confidential data, consult leadership before making announcements, don't disparage it in public. Elon decided that being able to Tweet about the company on a whim was more important to him.
Yup, almost certainly PCC - which also still has struct fields in a global namespace as a (possible wonderful, possibly horrible) hack to provide the equivalent to unions
For what it's worth, I agree. The amount of full-throated fanboying for him is borderline sick. More than anything else, the current Elon -- note, this wasn't always the case, hence the qualifier -- is really just a childish troll with nobody around to tell him no.
You would have to push your ear plugs in so far that you couldn't take them out to get anywhere near the eardrum though.
