I do not think they are saying the vaccination of the children is the cause. They even mention that vaccines are not approved.

Instead, they correctly write about how the WHO tried to block the "infodemic" that SARS is airborne, because it was not feasible to do much about that which would not be very costly, and may increase panic, which makes people harder to manage and control.

We do not know the effects of long COVID on children, even though health officials opened back up the schools. Again, there are other concerns there than your personal or family's health: if you do not open the schools, then parents can not get to work, and hospitals and police collapse.

From SARS-1, we know that SARS can cause long-lasting kidney damage. But nobody wants to come out and say: "we send your children back to school without masks, and while we said children do not get severely ill from COVID, the effects of long COVID in children was not possible to investigate, nor (cost-)effectively manage.". That makes a lot of sense.

A few of my friends in school went into physics very starry eyed and excited. They worked in academia. Then, they worked for space startups and NASA. Now they work in "business intelligence" and the tech ad business. I do enjoy Sabine's writing and perspective. I miss my friends' aspirations and enthusiasm for physics and space.
The problem is that Python encourages this "it's all cool, man" syntactic mindset.

It's not a problem, it's just a tradeoff. Like 97 percent of all the other differences between programming languages. As to whitespace in Python -- it was counterintuitive at first, but once I grokked the rationale behind it, I've never been tripped up by it (to an extent that it would slow my thinking for more than a second or two).

Every language has random $foo that you have to get used to and step around once in a while. If you don't like Python, fine, go back to C and bash. They'll be happy to welcome you back with open arms.

It’s not that complicated. Just don’t collect any private/profiling information and you’re good.

Have you actually tried StackOverflow? You get answers at a similar speed to IRC and it's much better for obscure questions - on IRC you'll just get nobody knowing the answer but on StackOverflow you will at least maybe get an answer in a few days/weeks/years.

But be warned, it's filled with similarly socially inept people and they can downvote/close your perfectly reasonable questions so be prepared for a decent amount of rage.

Even so it's definitely better than IRC IMO.

Agreed about the domains. To add to this, for me the main problem aren't even the domain registrars, but rather the certificate authorities. It is madness that any certificate authority can issue certificates for any domain!

With blockchain domains, you can put the public part of your certificate on the blockchain and no one has to trust any third party to issue certificates - the domain owners issue their own certificates and they're guaranteed by the blockchain. A whole useless industry would become obsolete!

I've taken hours and read https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/ab0c57 . My take away was they did a good job calibrating their signals, but I've never seen anything about calibrating their imaging algorithms. They have not calibrated the whole imaging stack. My skepticism is in the algorithms, not the signals.

The PS5 only has a 1gig Ethernet port anyway.

AT&T fiber recently rolled out 5 gigs in San Francisco and as far as I can tell, Steam is the only service that can saturate it. That’s after buying a 10 gig $100 network card and a $200 router which only has 2 10 gig ports.

It’s going to be a few years before >1 gig internet is commonly supported.
I can't find "Practical Lock Picking" by Deviant Ollam [1] on their catalogue [2].

To be fair, it's not explicitly banned AFAIK, and it's a bit of a niche book (but it's famous among the respective hobbyists).

The only obvious one I've had after many years of unique emails everywhere was when I got a blood draw for some blood tests ordered by my doctor. It wasn't clear if it was the guy drawing my blood, someone who works at the blood draw company, or someone who works at the place where the labs were run on the blood.

It was pretty concerning that someone in that chain is selling my personal info. The spam wasn't commercial spam - it was Nigerian prince stuff, crypto scams, etc.
You can implement irreversibility in a blockchain or a smart contract easily, many coins can freeze funds and issue funds, that's defacto irreversibility.
I haven't spent much time looking into the video.

Except they haven't thrown anything away, all they did was create new versions of the API. Just like almost every other major toolkit developer also does. They're all iterations on the same concept.

Also, if you ask me the hamburger menu is fine when it's used correctly and you don't put too many items in it. Some apps don't use it correctly but that's no different from a more traditional app dumping 30 random menu items into the "File" menu which I've seen a lot of badly designed apps do.

> China is genociding Uighurs.

It's simply not true. You can repeat lies all you want, but doesn't make it true. You can't commit genocide against a people who's population is increasing and whose culture/language you are protecting. Go watch a simple travel vlog on xinjiang.

> There's no USA equivalent in this day and age.

The native hawaiians, native alaskans and native americans are currently underdoing actual genocide. Ugyhurs are majority in xinjiang. Hawaiians, native alaskasn and native americans are insignificant minorities in their own lands.

> You are far away from reality if you think China and USA are morally equivalent in the current day and age.

No. I say we are worse. Far worse. China has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. We are ruining people's lives and causing conflict from venezuela to syria to taiwan to africa to ukraine. We are the ones occupying countries all over the world.

Lets just put it this way. In 100 years, ugyhurs will still be around. Not sure about inuits in alaska, native hawaiians and native americans. Maybe china should liberate these people?

I've never seen whatever code this is, so correct me if I'm saying something stupid, but do they really use uint256 for their number variables?

Your comment is out of line. Nothing was "thrown away" in GTK4 unless you consider it "throwing away" that apps have to port to a new API to make use of a new API. Please read the full article, particularly this part:

> There is no actual difference between the two.

Rust has raw pointers, references, slices, and arrays, each with special syntax in type/variable declarations. You're conflating those with Boxes, and it isn't adding clarity to the discussion. It's not like C++ removed this problem now that people use `std::unique_ptr<T>`.

Rust's raw pointer syntax is exactly as bad as C's, because it's the same syntax. Yes, it could use some other syntax like `Ptr<T>` for declaration, but it doesn't. And that still says nothing about what operator syntax to use when dererencing the pointer.

Perhaps it could be:

let p: Ptr<T> = whatever;
let x = p.deref(); // suffix syntax!

> That is a debate of precedence, which is a very different concern

It's not a different concern, and it's a problem no matter what the precedence. If prefix pointer syntax binds tightly, you'll need parens in one case. If it binds loosely, you'll need parens in another case:

*(binds_tightly.foo[10]); // subscript the array first because star binds tightly
(*binds_loosely).bar[10]; // dereference the pointer first because star binds loosely

However, if pointer syntax is suffix (like arrays, function calls, and field accesses), you simply don't need parens in either case. The operations are just in order.

> (the absurd mess that are C type declarations)

Hating on C is trendy, that's fine. But a lot of people are confused about what the problem really is. It could be fixed with one change, but since people can't see it clearly, they change everything. And in cases like Go or Rust, they change almost everything and still don't solve the problem.

A language could achieve C's goal of "declaration follows usage" if pointers had suffix syntax. The prefix pointer syntax is where crazy "winding rules" and "Gibberish to English" translators come in.
I’ve had great results sticking a single Optane NVME drive in front of my 8x8GB array of spinning rust via ZFS’s built-in cache facility. I’m only doing write caching and only using 32GiB of my much larger drive (I forget exactly how large lol). That was my comfort zone for how much data I’m willing to lose if something very bad happens to the NAS during a write, and I like giving it a bunch of spare flash space for wear-leveling.

The "oracle problem" is the reason why I lost interest in crypto after the 2017 boom, when I really got into the nitty-gritty of crypto.

The trust built into crypto is rock solid, the problem is that it's scope is so narrow and limited that even after a decade it's still searching for a major trust problem to solve. In this case you cannot reverse crypto payments because there is no oracle that can do it. You would need to find God's own API for reality.

I was however totally wrong about the future (monetary) value of crypto in early 2018. I guess sometimes it pays more to know less.

Edit: Also of course every single crypto org obfuscates and is opaque as possible about the oracle problem. I'd venture that most investing in the space don't know what it is.

> The platform should not be favoring the unaccomplished and the accomplished with equal weight [...] tastes conform to the constraints of the world around them

A lot of great thoughts here; I see this as the gist of it. Modern media platforms have continually struggled to rank art in terms of quality. It may appear to be an impossible task because to some extent it's subjective, but we seemed to have done better in the past with human curators.

Since general AI is almost certainly a long way off, the most we can expect from algorithms is to help us narrow down various categories. Someone still needs to be at the wheel to further refine or rank the results. The alternative is indeed much like swimming through a sea of excrement in search of a few rare pearls.

> Meanwhile, my preferred language, Go, has a high-quality, memory-safe HTTPS server in the standard library that is well suited for direct exposure on the Internet.

I know people do use Golang's http.Server for production use-cases. Does Google, though? Are services of Google customers ever actually directly talking to this Golang stack, without at least a minimal L7 WAF (as e.g. a default Nginx config does) in between?

I ask because there are a number of weird connection latency, slowness, and "stuttering" problems I've experienced with services which I know do directly expose Golang servers — e.g. Docker Registry instances including Docker Hub; Minio instances; go-ethereum nodes; etc. — that I've never experienced with any Google service, or with any known non-Golang service.

My hypothesis is that this is due to Golang's http.Server not having any upper limit on simultaneous connections (because just in CPU and memory terms, the Golang runtime can handle almost arbitrarily many), such that eventually the bottleneck actually becomes per-connection throughput, with clients becoming starved for space in the machine's network ring buffer; and because this is such an unusual bottleneck to have (usually it's only a thing with CDNs) — and because it causes no problems for the server, esp. if things like readiness checks are done through a separate internal NIC — the people running these servers don't even notice it's happening, and so lag far behind in horizontally scaling servers to spread out the demand for throughput.

Or, to put that another way: the Golang http.Server isn't observable — exposing server-internal metrics — in the way that actual web servers like Nginx, or even web-app server frameworks like Jetty, are; and so it's very hard to know when things are silently going wrong for users, esp. in cases where the developers of a piece of software aren't themselves running it at scale and so never think to manually add observability for metrics that only become relevant at scale (which authors of generic web server software are usually aware of, but authors of application software usually aren't.) This leads me to think that, if Google themselves are using Golang services for anything at scale, and yet not rushing to implement such metrics into http.Server, then they must be observing these services in a very different way than we mere mortals do. Maybe calculating per-flow packet-wise QoS at the edge in their fancy LANai switches using historical statistical fingerprints of predictable flow patterns, or something.
> But to not see that the guy you’re agreeing with is drowning in opinion is almost comically lacking in self-reflection.

While I find Breyer's text infinitely more valuable than that of the suggested supposedly impartial Fact Reciter, I'm not in lockstep with his position, and most importantly, I have no trouble separating his opinions from facts. On lack of self-reflection, I don't feel like I'm particularly guilty of it but then again I guess I wouldn't. I did read the EURACTIV About page and it wouldn't surprise me if something rubbed off of there. Whether it did or not, as far as lack of self-reflection goes it's a prime exhibition.

An impartial publication is a work of fiction. Claim you are one? You cosplay one.

> FWIW, on the merits, this is 100 % good for the consumer/citizen. There is nothing in it for companies, except that it maybe could have ended worse. It isn’t a compromise where each side got a bit of what they wanted. It started out with ideas of completely fucking over tech companies, now it graciously settled on just mildly tying them down and setting a bit of their clothes on fire.

It's the EU once again fiddling with the Internet. It doesn't really matter what the marginal benefits are in the short term if you don't trust them with that power to begin with and believe their unending need to make use of it will eventually ruin the Internet. Drop the citizen and I'm with you.
> they'll just "report spam" rather than unsubscribe

I'm guessing this is a major part of it. But then again, if a legitimate service is so spammy that people will just "report as spam" rather than unsubscribing, maybe they should change their behavior.
You are right, of course. Imagine how shitty is must be to be named Karen and have millions of people one day start using your name as an insult. Just one of the hundreds of ways the internet mob steamrolls over people.

Wifi 7 is expected to be capable of 30-40Gbps. A dual port nic can be had under $200. Currently low/medium port count equipment has no demand, but perhaps the wifi7 world or pressure like init7 generates can make more visible & obvious the market demand. For anyone setting up today, do what I did: (used byt plentifully available) 18 port 40Gbps infiniband switch for $150, nics for $100.

I semi agree that I dont think we know what this is for. Never ever having buffer bloat is a tempting first ask. Connectivity is more than the sum of throughputs, as your figures imply- there's questions of availability too.

Being able to access each other's systems at near local speeds sounds quite compelling, could help jumpstart post-Big Social computing. You talk about netflix streams, but those are heavily compressed with the best offline encoding on the planet: if i just want to open Steam Remote Play Together & share realtime 4K with a friend, I'd need a lot more throughput since I have much much much less efficiemt encoding. If i wanted Remote Play Together with 3 friends, well, that figures goes up. If my family member also wants to do the same, now we're using a lot or maybe all the throughput & we're starting to have some contested bandwidth, some rising latencies.

The truth is somewhere between. Rationalizing ourselves down to what sounds sensible today, to me, is a cruel trick, is not just path dependency but an ideology that believes only in what we have & can see now, & refuses exploration & trying. To me the world & tech is spiritually fueled by why not thinking, by deciding to opt for the extra thats within reach.

Forgoing a cheap (still less than the price of a nice tv, by far), available one-time purchase option that vaults us into near-local connevtivity caliber with the world is still a lock in my book.

If the virus is indiscriminate, and still useful as a weapon, then the host country weaponizing it, will have an anti-dote or vaccination at the ready. When the virus finds its way back to your country, your citizens are already immune.

But coronavirus can be made to discriminate. Militaries have been researching gene-targeted coronaviruses. They can just plug the data people volunteer to Chinese DNA-testing companies into a supercomputer and create a virus which discriminates on race and age, before deciding who to make really ill.
