It really is a great one.

I think it evokes such incredulity that someone could point it out in good faith while also technically possibly being a correct statement that it's just humourous by itself.

It's got the irony that evidence is not evidence unless people know about it and the fact the agency is known for hiding what they do from even the institutions that are supposed to oversee it.

You've got the leap of faith to take at face value that an agency that denied a program existed for years, continued the program for years after it was pointed out it was illegal has said it's not doing it anymore.

The relative recentness of the actions by specifying 2019.

There's so much to unpack.

It does seem strange but, even including the 737 MAX disaster, air travel is safer today than it ever was. Since the 1960s, miles traveled increased tenfold while deaths (in absolute numbers) dropped by 90 %, for a combined 100-fold increase in safety.
While I agree with much of your first couple sentences and resisting the emotional urge to think recovery is impossible, you're walking a hazardous line between believing recession timing is effectively impossible and trying to ballpark near term recession risk.

I preach this: nobody can reliably predict recessions but everyone should know recessions will happen. It would be damn near impossible to predict recessions if you had a single large country only trading with itself. Throw in the billions of people in the global economy, each a market participant, and the task becomes intractable. The macroeconomists and policy wonks sound much like you do: identifying real risks and evaluating sentiment in an attempt to convince others, and themselves, that they have special insight. I try not to be a cynic - there's enough negativity on HN - but I really think recession prediction is an exercise in futility.

Still, it's critical to expect recessions. Buying stock in a company that's selling for 100x revenue and would go bankrupt in the event of a recession is gambling. Likewise, leaving the market and putting your money in gold, Bitcoin, your mattress, etc because you think recession is around the corner is likely to burn you. Yes, Michael Burry and The Big Shorters made a ton of money betting on what would coincide with a recession... but some of them would've gone broke had the timing stretched on even longer.

In short, your best bet if you're scared of recessions is the same as your best bet if you're in a boom or in the middle of a recession: buy undervalued assets and hang on to them long enough for everyone else to recognize their value. And, since recessions happen regularly at an irregular interval, your job will be made much easier if those assets can simply survive a recession.
Only used Cloudflare pages so can’t compare to others.

I found it super simple, a frictionless developer experience, very generous free tier, good payed tiers.

The integration with workers and some of the other services such as kv, object storage, durable objects means you can build way more than just static websites on it.

Cloudflare seems to be moving pretty fast building out a compelling platform. I see workers/pages as Heroku next gen. It is still early days for them though.

I liked what I saw so much I purchased Cloudflare shares.

The age and regional trends are pretty interesting:

> The proportions of transgender and non-binary people were three to seven times higher for Generation Z (born between 1997 and 2006, 0.79%) and millennials (born between 1981 and 1996, 0.51%) than for Generation X (born between 1966 and 1980, 0.19%), baby boomers (born between 1946 and 1965, 0.15%) and the Interwar and Greatest Generations (born in 1945 or earlier, 0.12%).

> Nearly 1 in 6 non-binary people aged 15 and older (15.5%) lived in the downtown core of a large urban centre. This share was more than twice that of transgender people (7.0%) and over three times higher than that of cisgender people (4.7%).
It's anything but a redistribution to favor older generations.

Older generations are living on savings. They don't have upwardly-adjusted salaries. They don't have time to ride equities downward-then-strongly-upward again, they have to spend from the pile they already had.

The strong inflation definitely favors younger generations, who will salary-adjust with it.

Good. I've got no clue what our house insulation here in Canada is as we didn't build it. But it's way more than anywhere I lived in the US. Even at -20C or below, give us a little sun for those southern windows and we get a few degrees to keep the heat off. Although unless heat pumps work well below 0C they're only useful here as air conditioner replacements. We could have moved Moderna vaccine in the back of pickups much of the winter...
> The main benefit of UTF-8 if you're say, Chinese, is interop. Everything else is worse.

Well, for HTML it turns out to be a wash.

While Han characters are typically three bytes in UTF-8, markup is ASCII and so only one byte — whereas in UTF-17, both the character data and the markup are two bytes. When you add them together the average cost per character is more or less two bytes, whether your Chinese-content HTML is encoded as UTF-8 or UTF-17.

Yeah, I dove into the rabbit hole this afternoon. But my vim usage is too hardwired now after decades. I tried to teach someone how to use vi/vim at work a while ago and it was hard because I didn't really think about how I use it. Just like explaining how to type on qwerty; so much muscle memory that goes into things.

>The odds that an 18-22yo traditional college student will overlook a 5-9 year age gap because you share a lot of interests and can have interesting conversations are much higher than the odds that another 13yo will overlook the fact that you have no shared interests at all because hey, you're the same age.

I think the odds are honestly in better favor of the 13YO. if only because a 5 year age gap for an 18 YO is a magnitude different than a 5 year age gap for a 30 year old, or even a 24 year old.

It may even be a legal risk depending on the profiling of each peer for the former. Of no fault of either party, just of the fault of decades of bad actors and a culture highlighting them.

I have a lot of friends and coulleages like that now, but I can't imagine them even giving me the time of day if we met a decade prior and somehow all had identical interests.

Nice writeup! BTW statistical thermodynamics has a name for that set of possible microstates, perhaps the most pretentious sounding name in all of physics, the "canonical ensemble".
Gas is more dangerous than electric. An estimated average of 4,200 home structure fires per year started with the ignition of natural gas. These fires caused an average of 40 deaths per year [1]. There is no combustion with heat pumps, no risk of CO poisoning. Heat pumps are a superior conditioning technology, from both a safety and efficiency perspective. They will also save money versus burning fossil gas over their lifetime (as the price of fossil fuels rise, from a combination of taxes, demand, and constrained supply due to efforts to disincentivize investment in petroleum supply).

This is what these groups are for. To raise building code when warranted.

I hear a lot of, "Let's solve isolation with VMs," without taking into consideration that if you put two fully-patched kernels side-by-side, very few people (i.e., only those sitting on 0-days) have any idea how to exploit the workload running directly on the fully-patched kernel, while everyone knows how to exploit the (Intel) host when they have root/CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the VM and the host has HT enabled.

VMs are far from magic security sauce, and especially if you need HT on Intel hosts, you actively want to avoid using VMs as a "security boundary." You're far better off with the attack surface of a fully-patched OS image from a reputable vendor.

Discovery of the one-way superconductor, thought to be impossible
It caught my eye too, but for a different reason, this bit doesn't seem right:

> which is to say, virtually all deployments

My understanding is if deploying with `git push heroku main`, that application's GitHub repository was not viewable by hackers (but those apps deployed through 'Heroku GitHub Deploys' were). (please tell me if my understanding is incorrect).

I think most Heroku users would deploy with `git push heroku main`, although that's purely hunch.

Unrelated, but I'd add one more thing to the article, which is that Heroku docs aren't easy to give feedback on. I'd love for the docs to be on GitHub so shortcomings or inaccuracies can quickly be addressed. Currently, to point out a correction to the docs, you'd have to write a support ticket and 100% chance that support ticket isn't going beyond the person who received it, so nothing will get actioned.

Those toilet sprays just stink and don't actually mask the oder, correct.

But there is another series of products, you drop a few drops in the toilet before pooping and it's remarkably effective at eliminating the after stink that wafts out smelling up the building.

First one (which I could never find again) was called "Whoopsie Poopsie" but there is also one called "Just A Drop Before You Go". Both were very effective and there are probably other brands that do the same thing.

Also, wouldn't they be much more successful trying to spread it in South Korea, where they have considerable political influence (they command its military, they have 30,000 troops stationed there, the intelligence agencies are highly interlinked, the defence ministry is almost literally inside a US army base)?

> GTK will always owner-draw its buttons, so you don't get a real native Be widget.

Well, I think it might be potentially possible to write a theme that uses Haiku control-drawing APIs, just like for Qt (already there are some CSS files that make GTK look like Haiku, but Haiku itself has a control-theming engine, so it would be good to look into that. But not something that's on my radar.)

> And it's clearly possible to do a good-enough X server integration as demonstrated by WSL, Quartz etc with minor complaints about clipboard syncing, decorations, having to run another daemon etc.

Having used X11+WSL and X11+forwarding quite extensively (and XQuartz a bit), my complaints about that approach are ... far from minor. Everything both looks and feels like it has been awkwardly shoehorned in. Window modality, sizing, and positioning always runs into problems.

Now, some of that is just MS Windows being Windows, and X11 not having a good way to deal with some of the differences between X11 models and Windows, etc. But I think a large part of it, having looked at X11 internals (and as you can see, knowing more than a bit about them in order to write this thing and make it work) is that distinctions which are more minor at the base levels of the API become significantly bigger the further up you go -- the window manager vs. display server is probably the most obvious one here.

Xlibe can largely forget there even is a "display server / window manager" distinction and take calls that deal with one or the other and invoke the necessary Haiku APIs.

> After all that, what would you say is the main benefit to this approach?

Besides the ones outlined above, I would say it's much more possible to integrate with the rest of the system in broad ways. For instance, clipboard handling can pretend to do the strange set/get property dance in Xlibe for compatibility's sake, and then turn around and invoke the (much more sane) Haiku clipboard APIs internally. With a real X11 server, the clipboard handling is just the standard get/set property system, and you have to have something else (in the X11 server) that forwards clipboard updates in both directions. That can quickly get very complicated.

Another thing is keyboard handling. I don't bother creating X11 keymap structures at all in Xlibe; applications either get XK_* values (for e.g. Return, etc.) or UTF-8 text (which can be locale-converted if needed.) That means you can swap keymaps in Haiku and Xlibe will follow right along. I have no idea how much code that would wind up being in an X11 server port to deal with, but I know for sure it would not be fun at all, having dealt with X11 keyboard APIs from more than one vantage point.

Drag and drop would probably be another, but I didn't implement that in Xlibe (yet?)
As far as I'm aware, it would glide as well as any other 737 if both engines were cut. It merely had a slightly lower maximum nose-up because of the increased engine thrust or something like that.

Back when the App Store was a goldmine, I contemplated creating an app that would help people find public restrooms. I knew that mothers with babies were very sensitive about cleanliness and good changing tables etc, so this would be a "yelp for bathrooms." I mocked up the UI etc, and gave it a good thought and then did some schema work etc. Then I realized that all the users would be uploading the worst pictures imaginable; and we all know how bad bathrooms can be. There would be no way to moderate that type of thing, and I flushed the idea...
It's more about deductive vs. inductive reasoning, rather than whether past results matter.

Popper distinguished science from non-science by falsifiability: if a prediction could theoretically be disproved, it's a scientific one. New information is often useless, because new information can never prove a claim—the only useful information is disproof. On a larger scale, models that turn out to make false predictions are either altered or abandoned. It's all well and good to look at past results and make predictions, but Popper's point was that there can be plenty of models that are consistent with past results and there's no way of choosing between them until they're winnowed down through falsification.

Bayesianism acknowledges that you can't necessarily pick one right explanation, but it tries to account for that by statistically weighting models, and with new information the distribution/weighting is updated.

(This explanation is a gloss, of course, and so necessarily an incorrect model. But hopefully a helpful one.)

Most people have directly benefited greatly from Bayes’s ideas (an example would be Bayesian email spam filters)

Everett is the multi-world interpretation of quantum mechanics dude. In a nutshell he proposes that there is no wave function collapse when we measure something.

I hope everyone knows who Popper is. The dude defined the modern scientific method via https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiability

I've been using Swinsian on my desktop connected to a NAS. It has an sqlite DB that I backup with git to never lose my play counts. I save and sync playlists to a "playlists" folder in my music folder. When my NAS phone app (DS Audio) launches, it syncs all my playlists. I have scripts set up to make new smart playlists for me when a new artist is added, so I'll have an "unlistened" smart playlist, a listened one, and a bestof, for each artist. I downloaded a huge discography of Bach years ago and I'm still making my way through it. I have full control of all my tracks, playlists, playcounts, and any other metadata I want, all backed up to git. Spotify will never defeat this for me. I tried using Spotify and downloaded the free version, and was physically disgusted at the "6 free skips per day!" or something, not to mention random songs being unavailable.

The people who tend to be the most ardent defenders of private medical care are usually the same people who have had the fewest reasons to actually depend on it.

You have just described hypocrisy to a tee.

The morals that I apply to others are so different from the morals that I apply to myself, that they cannot even be considered to exist in the same dimension.
I mean, that's a basically a distinction without a difference, depending on who wields the power.

Disinformation in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea can be anything that goes against any official line. In the US disinformation can also be things (but not all things) that go against the official government line, v.g: Covid, elections, official promulgations, fact checks, etc.

It can be difficult to mark a difference, but it's safe to say that at least as of now, fewer things would be marked disinformation in the US despite the new DHS office that would appear to ape how soviet systems (such as DPRK) would deal with what they deem misinformation.
