I really don't mind if people can trace my drone back to me. I'm a licensed ham radio operator and my call sign is linked to my real identity. And I want to know who is flying drones over my property. The two police departments that regularly fly helos over my house use the same paint scheme as their squad cars to make it obvious who they are. They use the tail numbers N911DC (Washington DC) and N911PG (Prince George's County) for the same reason.

Given that I don't know anything about how antibodies and T-cells and all that jazz work and I don't plan on listening to a 2:40hr podcast to learn what some dude on the internet thinks about it, all I can say is that there appears to be research demonstrating that the COVID-19 vaccine has real benefit to people who already contracted the actual virus[0], which make's my government's advice that folks in that situation still get vaccinated[1] seem pretty reasonable.

The initial waves were a crisis in that we were suffering from resource exhaustion in the medical system. People were dying simply because we ran out of resources to treat them, both for Covid and for non Covid medical issues. With vaccination and improved Covid care we can now handle the patient load although at great personal sacrifice to medical professionals.
> What debate is being stifled?

Everything you deem to be wrong? " Allowing for there to be these separate "sides"... "

Everything is "settled science" until it isn't. Like the earth being the center of the universe. Like newtonian physics. Like einsteinian physics. Etc. It was settle science that Lamarckianism was scientific charlatanism until epigenetics.

We are agreed. Except you don't want to even allow others their opinions.

Then you don't know philosophy, science and most importantly the history of science/philosophy. Why is it that the people with the least knowledge/wisdom/etc are the most sure about things they know nothing about?

As I said, if you run into a flat earther, just show them a video of the earth. Or don't waste your time with them. Who do you think you are to say whether they should be "allowed or not" to have their opinion or say?

> So what exactly did Le Corbusier get right, according to the article? "The very fact that his designs were so easily modified was, arguably, their strength." -- this is what fans of Le Corbusier always praise him for, and it always sounds really bad to me. The main strength of the architecture is that you have to radically change it to make it liveable...?

Some famous architects make/made terribly unusable buildings that were also hard to modify to make usable. Having a famous architect that contemplates that his design may not be correct is amazing progress.

His work tends to be utilitarian and not visually exciting (especially earlier work); but avoiding load bearing walls and having lots of windows was innovative and useful. Although, apparently the occupants found too much light and added shutters.
The part that stuck out to me was “friendly”. A subtle insertion of language that at best alludes to some early 19th century frolicking, and at worst rewrites a history of sexual violence.

In a fairly objective accounting of historical science (is that a term?), I’d like to see more evidence when suggesting cultural behavior, or just leave the descriptive language out and let the reader interpret.
I’m antivax and anti mask mandates and think vaccines are a good idea. I’ve even gotten two vaccines. However I won’t be getting another the reason I won’t is to stand in solidarity with the unvaxxed, note this is a political stance and not a scientific one. If you want me to get vaxxed to save whoever then the mandates must be lifted in their entirety save for actual quarantining of the infected which I think is reasonable.

I can definitely be reasoned with and reason with the unvaccinated all the time.

I opened my home in contravention of the mandates to throw parties and have unvaccinated people a place to socialize and people found my point of view to be in line with theirs. Namely that vaccines work but for them they would prefer the risk of getting Covid to getting vaccinated.

It may surprise you but many people can be talked to and turn out to have points of view vastly different than what you read on the news / see on social media.

I agree, with the caveat that at scale it's cheaper to do it well yourself. If that weren't true, then Amazon would not be making money on EC2.

If you don't have sysadmins and network admins with the right experience, you can easily find yourself in a bad spot with single points of failure, servers that can't be easily replaced, oversubscribed PDUs, misconfigured switches/routers... and any number of other problems that aren't occurring to me right now.

As a random aside, I’m glad to see ‘on-prem’ emerge as a common shorthand for this, only because it always grates me to see people make the extremely common mistake of saying ‘on-premise’. Premise, of course, only ever means “an idea or theory on which a statement or action is based”, whereas the actual term is premises (“the land and buildings owned by someone, especially by a company or organisation”, as in “The security guards escorted the protesters off the premises”).

Beating a corporate office, as far as the actual work space itself and if we're talking tech work, doesn't require much, is the thing. A small table with a monitor and keyboard and a pretty-good chair, tucked in a corner, is already better just by being private. Having an entire dedicated room—even a very small one—is wildly better than most tech offices, and is far beyond what you need to have a better working environment.

Hell, the private bathroom alone makes even the working-from-a-coffee-table version competitive with typical tech offices.
Shouldn't the public know who's flying drones over their property? I wish the drone IDs were publicly listed, just like N numbers.

At least in tech, companies have already decided to make employees pay for training. You don’t see people doing leetcode training or side projects to pad their resume because their employers invested in increasing their skill set.

Given that this has already occurred, why would any employee agree to a system where now they have a financial obligation to their employer if they leave?

I get your sentiment but the employers already cut all the benefits out of the system when it comes to skill development. They’ll need to start adding back in investments to employee’s skills without any sort of guaranteed payback for a while before the average employee would extend them any trust
Regarding programming languages: the majority of programmers work for companies using boring technology, so money is seldomly spent on developing new and exciting technologies that go beyond or above what we have now. It's always just going deeper into existing stuff because it's used and needs to be improved, but radically new languages, compilers, tools, etc. are risky and expensive so they're avoided.

We still work with text files, line by line. Programming languages unspool and lose their state upon encountering an error and deciphering pages of stacktraces is left to the programmer. State cannot really be saved and resumed. Everything needs to be desperately backwards compatible even when that means dragging problems along from version to version. The cool things are mostly academic and don't make it into the mainstream.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

It’s over in America because nearly everyone was exposed to omicron and nearly everyone who was going to get it, got it. The numbers stopped growing and sharply fell because there wasn’t anyone left to infect.

China didn’t have that and what’s happening is what trying to control with lockdowns will look like periodically forever.

Many mitigation measures are only effective as delay instead of prevention.
The policies were good for America and NATO.

He told Germany and other NATO leaders that dependence on Russian oil was a major threat to their economies. He told them they should focus on other avenues. But they didn't listen. He was tough on Russia.
Is that what Jen Psaki says every single day in front of the cameras? Because I watch it every single day and so far I don't think I've heard anything remotely approximating "The sanctions we have imposed have caused a minor increase in the cost of fuel, but the overall trend is due other factors."

Every day it's "Putin Price Hike", and absolutely 0 taking responsibility.
Yes. This is not the first time i feel this, it might be a cultural thing in the US.
Not minor. The anti-mandate argument rests on this fact. One that is not in dispute among experts yet is widely ignored by policymakers and HN commenters.
How do theories such as "The 100th Monkey" as well as transferred information via DNA to offspring translate to ML|AI at all?

For example, couldn't a sufficiently developed AI modify some code/libraries it utilizes/learns from/creates, to ensure any new spawns of said AI/ML/Bot has the learned previous behaviors?

I doubt 100th Monkey will ever hit AI.

So that's an interesting aspect to the limits to AI 'evolving'

It is obvious that making up a protocol to notify all the instances is a non-starter. Sharing a read-only memory page that has nothing but the pixels in it is trivial, decoupled, and provably not a security hole. Probably there are already such pages in use that the pixels could be added to. Any Terminal that has customized its seconds display would not be obliged to participate. And, there is no need to interrupt a busy core to update the seconds display; the update can wait until it is not busy.

In any case, they could each render the ten digits, or even 61 digit pairs, ahead of time, and blit them into place as needed.

But what keeps Windows users from having nice things is that they all, without exception, depend on the whims of those MS engineers (not to say hacks) who get to decide, "Yeah, nah" on their behalf.
I'm going to have to agree with the original commentor. A majority of people who stub their toe and blame racism, patriarchy or whatever else, are incredibly boring people. Anyone that's super dogmatic is typically a one trick pony. Sure there are exceptions, but I'm not going to get yelled at for having "micro aggressions" when asking someone "so what do you do for fun" when I already know the answer since they're an insufferable, self-righteous ass.
Why not call them "riggers"?
It's just about where the software development incentives are. Big shops have incentive to have service models. I think of it like a return to the mainframe days, and an old-IBM like mindset.

From studying neuroscience in college, I knew that the olfactory system goes straight into the deep brain as one of the oldest evolutionary neural structures and pathways. It's likely related to how a smell can instantly evoke very deep and old memories more strongly than sight, touch, or hearing.

I caught by breath when I first heard that one of the initial signs of COVID-19 is loss of smell. I don't know what's going on in there, but it can not be good - kind of like a code insertion into the deepest kernel layers - it can make an outsized disaster.
Correct, it was entirely owned by the founders.
I didn't say anything like what you claim I did in the first paragraph. The cost of gas going up isn't solely due to sanctions, either. The war that the Russians launched - where they're currently shooting civilians in the street - unprovoked, against a global food exporter. That war of course led to the world using any and all relevant tools including sanctions to punish them.

[edit] Blaming the world for the sanctions they imposed on the Russians is like seeing a bully smacking a victim yelling "stop hitting yourself" and saying "yeah! why are you hitting yourself?!"

So yeah, the Russians are responsible for large increases in the cost of oil, and food. Are there other factors at play? Sure. A global shipping crisis, a COVID outbreak and lockdowns in China. A lot of pent-up demand chasing limited supply. Snarled supply chains.

I do think we'd be much further along getting out of this if the Russians hadn't kicked off their 'special military operation.'

What are we blaming the administration for? Continuing the bi-partisan Trump-era QE cycle which allowed America the fastest-ever exit from a recession event (COVID), saving America from a lost decade?

You are the second person in these comments making this same mistake. The olfactory bulb is in the brain. I guess Covid seems less scary if it doesn't damage the brain and so people who might otherwise be okay catching it or whatever might want to push back, but as far as I can tell it actually damages the chunk of goo in your skull that makes you you. Not so great if immunity fades and you're rolling a D20 every time you get infected which more and more seems to be the case.
This is a really cool idea and much more beneficial than simply buying carbon offsets and calling it a day.

$925M sounds like not a lot, though. It's a start.
If you have fast internet, I like X forwarding. I used to run IntelliJ on my work computer in the office and render the window on my home computer.

The tax complaints don’t really hold water to me. A competitor could spin up a nonprofit if they wanted or pivot to nonprofit status. But they don’t, because the opportunity costs and limitations of being a nonprofit are nontrivial. There are successful competitors, both for and non profit - BBC Micro, Orange Pi, BeagleBone, etc.

And re: OSS, I don’t remember anybody complaining that Lenovo (for example) “outsources” their Linux thinkpad OS. The raspberry pi foundation is using open source (and some vendor closed source) software in full compliance with its licenses. The post you linked complains that the code quality of the raspberry pi modifications is “bad” and can’t be integrated into mainline Linux, but that doesn’t make it not open source. “Open source” has no obligation to be high code quality.
I have good opinions of Mullvad but I could not find what does it offer that other similar extensions do not?

About ten years ago I was in the break room of a former workplace. There were eight people in the room including myself.

One thing we need to step away from is this framing that there are "sides" to be on.

I think it's easy to confuse the two major covid conflicts as one. The first, more obvious and dumber conflict is the "covid is fake/nothing!" idiots. That's the conflict you're mainly addressing. The second, less one-sided conflict is whether our anti-covid measures have a good return-on-investment vs less-stringent measures. Covid deaths and government anti-covid efforts seem to be less closely coupled than is intuitive. For example, comparing Sweden, a country with very lax covid mandates, to countries with stronger mandates. They came off much worse than Finland, but better than the UK, comparable to Germany, and much better than the United States.
$100M or even $50M is real money though. If Stripe had wanted to enter the market directly, that pays for many person years of compensation.

Corporate VC funds are supposed to do one of two things: find uncorrelated investments or adjacent partner opportunities. You can argue that acquiring the company is downside protection ("worst case, we buy the team") but it's still pretty inefficient.

tl;Dr: the real goal is (should be?) to generate large, cooperative partners not overpay for R&D and integration later.

Right now, it appears that the US default on reparations is $0. I have wondered what amount would be considered just that the median person receiving reparations would be satisfied with.

Also, what is a justifiable time horizon for inclusion? Should reparations begin for all slaves and conquered groups ever by the nation in power? (In the US, looking @ blacks, Native Americans, the govt of Mexico, Chinese immigrants in the mid-1800s, and so on).

There are so many edge cases and competing philosophical justifications that the practical implementation seems very hard!
Indeed it is not final but design systems are living entities anyway. It already covers quite a lot.

I understand the confusion, but it makes sense if you look at the history. Qt was initially released by Trolltech into the open source community. There has been some acquisitions and the reason people are on edge about Qt removing open source support is because it’s initial foundation was laid by contributions of the open source community. Several fantastic applications and even linux distributions have used Qt as their primary GUI framework for years. There are commercial licensing available for closed-source projects that would permit a company to use Qt in proprietary software. There have been talks in the past of making the framework entirely closed source, but this was met with instant push back from the community that has made countless major contributions to Qt and implemented countless applications using the framework.

I would hope any business that acquired such a project would respect the foundation laid by the open source community through their contributions over the last two decades. After all, the reason Qt is hailed as such a fantastic framework is because it has been collaborated on for years by the same community that used it to create their own applications. The heavy use of the framework is what makes it valuable. KDE is an expample of an entire open source distribution that uses Qt much like gnome uses the GTK.
