I mean, for women in southern Africa, some communities have HIV prevalence of ~40% to this day. 4 in 10. Despite the lower risk associated with individual instances of vaginal sex, it absolutely is something to be worried about in those communities. And because those communities have lower access to healthcare, it often goes undiagnosed and untreated for far too long.
I largely agree, but I think this goes beyond proprietary services. We pay exorbitant fees for hardware that we cannot run software of our choice on. That is crazy, and the fact that the option has been taken away from us over time is very concerning. Even if it's not in the interests of the "average smartphone user", being able to run alternative OSes are what fosters healthy competition. Apple needs a community to push them forward by forcing them to confront difficult issues; look at MacOS. When Apple competes with it's audience, everyone wins. What we can't allow is abuse of the capitalist gambit we've set up for them: if they want to play the "largest company in the world" game, they have to play fair.

> A few comments here talk about patient notes: in most clinical environments, inpatient notes are useless, and a tedium required to bill. They're filled with copy-pasted jargon to meet insurance company requirements. True patient care happens in less than ~1 paragraph of text called a handoff.

That's very interesting, and explains many somewhat baffling experiences. So most of what I tell or give a doctor is effectively lost? That's the perspective from this patient, who finds it very frustrating to repeat myself, that the doctors are ill-informed and often perform that way.

But being open-minded: Is it that why I tell (or what most patients tell) the doctor isn't really useful to them? What is useful? Or is it just a consequence of time pressure?
A substantial portion of the service sector runs with a seven day schedule, we don't push schools to offer seven day service in response? Perhaps having more mixed working arrangements will improve societal flexibility and better serve all people.

I agree with you, but what's most important is the impression that the average person who uses it will have. And I don't think most people would think of this as like "taking your temperature at home". I think most people who might upload their x-ray scans would take this a lot more seriously.

A false positive could create a lot of anxiety and emotional distress, and the patient might need to go to 2, 3, or 4 other doctors to get second opinions before they feel comfortable that they really don't have cancer.

A false negative could be even worse. A patient might think "oh, the official-looking online thing said I don't have cancer, so I don't need to wait for or consider a human radiologist's results", and not believe they need treatment.

I think it's very important that people understand that -- until more research is done -- this is still not a substitute for having a human look at your x-rays. If we could be reasonably sure that everyone (or at least a very large majority) understood this when using this tool, then I think people would have far fewer objections. But I don't think that's the case.

Having said that, I think it's safe to assume that this tool has saved lives, so it's almost certainly been a net positive for people.
It definitely is. You've probably just had more time to discover the complexity of C++ (and read about it, since it's actually specified).

Of course Rust's complexity is much less dangerous because if you forget some obscure rules you get a compile error instead of UB (in safe Rust at least).

> There was a bit of a buzz a few years ago around distributed DNS

DNS is already distributed: records are aggressively cached across the internet. It's globally scalable and it works pretty well. There's security issues with it that we could fix (most of which we could fix without blockchain).

A blockchain-based DNS gives us what? It has the advantage of removing the "admin rights" from name registrars. This definitely sounds desirable but it comes with an obvious, massive burden/baggage: in order to retain those byzantine properties, everyone who wants to look up a DNS record has to have a multi-terabyte blockchain file locally downloaded and verified. The pro doesn't outweigh the con. And delegating to a cache brings us back to where we already are now.

Sorry, I did not mean to be toxic. But I really believe that anyone complaining about math notation should try to propose something and show us a page or two to judge. I would also appreciate some examples showing possible improvements in notation. I don't understand what's wrong with Sigma, I find this notation beautiful, as well as integration sign.
Math is still taught at the blackboard and the notation works fine there. See for example https://www.youtube.com/c/FredericSchuller - he is very careful to explain all notation he uses and he is writting down more text than the usual professor. In my opinion it shows that math notation is fine and the problem is that ideas behind are complex and hard to grasp.
We tell these people about "social contracts" then smirk when they raise the common sense objection of never signing such a contract in the first place.

Of course a social contract is not at all the same as a real contract, a social contract is not a document that you sign, it applies to you whether or not you ever consented to it. But when language that seems to conflate the two is used to persuade people who don't really have a firm grasp on the way the world works, it seems cruel to laugh at their confusion.

Anecdata: based on a blood lab I was horribly GABA deficient, which explained my weekly (out of the blue) panic attacks. She put me on a hero dose of 1000mg daily and the panic attacks immediately stopped. After a year I stopped supplementing and haven't had panic attacks since. I'd probably still be on Xanax if I had gone to a doctor first (to be clear, I would have had the naturopath not worked out).

A friend of mine had issues with irregular menstruation: months with nothing, and doctors weren't able to help. The same naturopath identified a deficiency by ways of a blood lab, and those problems have also been solved.

Naturopaths are a worthwhile starting point, the one I visited could even prescribe if all else failed, but I'd walk out if one didn't start with a blood lab/science.
This is fucking ridiculous.

Maybe some sort of hardware key or the virtual equivalent in a container?

> Most cargo revenue come from transporting freight in the holds of passenger jets.

Is this really true? DHL, FedEx, and UPS (and Amazon?) all operate their own freight aircraft. There are also contract freight operators. Most major airports have an entire area that is exclusively for freight operations.

Yes some freight does go in the holds of passenger jets, but is it "most" or even close?

Expenditures don't mean much. Look at purchasing power parity, and actual capabilities. The UK military lost the ability to conduct large-scale independent operations without US support decades ago. Capabilities are minimal in many crucial areas including logistics, aerial refueling, strategic bombing, amphibious lift, ballistic missile defense, and space dominance. Even their nuclear deterrent is completely dependent on the US military-industrial complex.

I think a lot about words and meanings, and interesting things I've encountered. Like, what is the difference between catenation and concatenation? Why is unravel a word, when ravel means the same thing, and given that unravel has taken over the meaning of ravel, why hasn't ravel come to mean it's opposite? Why was the classical Latin pronunciation of "caesar" preserved in German but not English? Why are the common conception of zero as an absence, the scalar zero, and the vector zero all different?

Sometimes I just daydream about stuff. Often I remember things that make me laugh, or make me angry, or both. Occasionally I force myself to actually work on some of the projects I've daydreamed and planned out (forced, because for some reason that part is much less innately interesting to me than the planning and conceptualizing, even though I want to finish them).
Your story was inspirational. It's really cool to run this project to help others without expecting any payment.
>whereas Tether is mostly backed

I've not seem credible proof that Tether has even 50% backing, especially 50% backing in uncorrelated assets (since if the holdings are in other crypto, those holdings will likely all take a dive when Tether does).
Let’s not forget the emotional element of these interviews where you’re being asked questions that mean very little about whether you can perform in the role. but many pretend that they are. For me the day long “technical” interview loop is a flashback to gradeshool hell. It tests my anxiety levels at least 5x more than my skillset.

It’s a common thought among my circles that interviewing is the hardest part of being a software engineer - once you’re in somewhere it’s a lot easier.

There needs to be something better.
No. I'm absolutely expecting local native app to do all the work, it makes sense. With SAAS running in the browser I expect all the heavy lifting is done somewhere else...you know, as a service.
More women identify as conservative than liberal: https://news.gallup.com/poll/388988/political-ideology-stead..., with the plurality identifying as moderate. People think sex work should be “mainstreamed” (as stated by OP) would almost certainly identify as liberal; and I’d be surprised if even a majority of self-described liberals would support that position.

Women tend to be less libertarian than men, and sometimes that breaks towards more liberal attitudes (they are more likely to favor generous social programs), and sometimes that breaks towards more conservative attitudes (they are more likely to oppose legalized prostitution and pornography).

As of 2016, attitudes were closely divided on legalizing sex work overall (40% in favor, 43% against). But the gender breakdown was striking: https://www.vox.com/2016/3/11/11203740/prostitution-legal-me.... Men supported legalization 51-36, while women opposed it 30-50.

Women similarly oppose pornography--just 25% find it morally acceptable, compared to 43% of men: https://content.gallup.com/origin/gallupinc/GallupSpaces/Pro...

Being a Democrat, of course, isn't dispositive of anything. My mom is a democrat, because she likes Obamacare and Anthony Fauci. But she's as socially conservative as any republican. (Like Black people: https://news.gallup.com/poll/112807/blacks-conservative-repu...)

Social libertarianism is championed mainly by the white college educated wing of the Democratic Party. But the party is ideologically diverse. For example, under 60% of Democrats say that “changing gender roles” has “made it easier for women to lead satisfying lives”: https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2017/10/18/wide-pa.... For Democrats without a college degree, it's under 50%.

Sorry for the lengthy rant, but people projecting their views onto "women" (or another popular one these days, "people of color") has become a pet peeve of mine. When you say stuff like what "adult women want is the empowerment to make decisions for their own bodies" you’re making a libertarian argument, and statistically that’s going to be most appealing to white men. (That doesn’t make it wrong, but if you’re going to bring identity into it you don’t get to play fast and loose with what arguments different groups tend to find more compelling.)

If that's the case, then what's the point in seizing it? The crime has already been committed, the pile of money being taken doesn't change that one bit.

If I use a payphone to order a hit, is it reasonable for the government to come rip it out of the ground? What if I use a freeway to smuggle drugs? Now the road must be torn out?

Money is fungible and has all sorts of uses. Any particular pile of cash is no more or less likely to be intrinsically criminal in nature. Just like phones and freeways.
> She put me on a hero dose of 1000mg daily

Of GABA? What form? I've heard that it's not well absorbed or gets destroyed in digestion, but then others say it's best absorbed orally by sucking on a lozenge.
Vale sounds very promising (I'm also closely following Koka). But one thing I've found is that Rust's ownership/borrowing model does more than just eliminate GC. It also seems to encourage good program structure that is less prone to logic bugs.

I don't have solid evidence for that - more of a feeling. But I wonder if switching to reference counting would lose that.

Anyway, just an observation.
The question answers itself, doesn't it?

Miss me some Fucked Company
That reveals a common corollary: Whoever is speaking is always in the 10%.

90% of doctors aren't so hot either.
Patients also don't usually know what is useful or not for a Doctor to diagnose them (or any medical provider usually). That has to be picked out as part of the Doctor or other medical provider questioning them and getting their vitals.

Some of it is implicit, like 'is the person able to form cogent sentences', or 'does the patient seem to be struggling to stand'. Others are more explicit, like heart rate, BP, 'what medicines are you taking', etc.

Often the ones who need the most help are the worst at getting anything useful out.
>If I was a parent in the US I'd be looking for an underground formula railroad

Yep - we found a company in Florida that was importing formula from Germany at a reasonable premium. Keep in mind that this was 4 years ago, so I don't know the state of that pipeline today.
It was wrong then too, but my parents didn't have the wisdom to understand that.

It would be disingenuous at this stage in our society to make the case that speech is not heavily regulated and often labeled as conspiracy (and worse) when it runs counter to corporate and establishment narratives. Hence, the metapolitical comment.
Interesting point; but I think the US laws have similar effect in different ways.

For example; the overtime laws just create incentive to work more than 40 hours a week. On average US workers work much more than other OECD countries.
Work at older, non-tech companies that have tech departments. Almost every single one of my jobs has matched this pattern, and none of them included a coding exercise as part of the interview process.

Silicon Valley and its satellites seem to disproportionately favor code interviews compared to the rest of the US market, for some ungodly reason.

> all of these articles claim widespread theft and stolen work, but a surprising lack of data on how much of that is actually sold considering all of those payments should be publicly traceable on the blockchain.

Payments, yes. But not provenance. Because you'd have to find all the artists, then all their work, then sift through all the listings at OpenSea, and cross-reference that. Because the following statement from you is a blatant lie:

> it is also trivially easy to look at these scam tokens and realize they are not from the authentic collection they claim to be

No. It's impossible to say whether something is from a legitimate artist or not.

> if you look at art forgery in traditional media, not only is it rampant but it actually accounts for millions of dollars per year

NFT scams are significantly more rampant because stealing a digital image trivial. As is pretending someone you're not.

Quote:

"DeviantArt has sent 90,000 alerts about possible fraud to thousands of their users since then, company executives said. It’s now scanning for fraud across 4m newly minted NFTs each week. The number of alerts doubled from October to November, and grew by 300% from November to mid-December." [1]

Isn't tether a way to redeem crypto that evades KYC (know your customer)? So if I am shady person getting paid in bitcoin, I can essentially bank in crypto and avoid the volatility of crypto assets without the institution I work with needing to check me out. It tether goes away (and presumably all other stable coins with them) wouldn't the utility of crypto be reduced for anyone avoiding the traditional banking system?

I don't pretend to know. I am asking if that might be the case.
Why isn’t there a folding coin? Productive mining and you reward the new protein folds or whatever
Tickets are crypto tokens; beers are USD.

If I start with 1000 tokens I distribute and 1000 dollars in my vault, no matter what you do with the tokens, I can exchange a token for a dollar — because your manipulation of the tokens doesn’t remove dollars from the vault. Those only change when: 1. I receive a new dollar, so issue a token; or 2. I destroy a token and release a dollar.

“Shorting” doesn’t impact that: if you borrow someone’s ticket, then sell it for $0.85, that doesn’t create a new ticket — there is still one ticket and one beer… and one IOU. What happens to the original owner is either the borrower buys a ticket back and returns that (canceling out the IOU) or else that original owner no longer has a ticket — they’re owed the value of a ticket by the borrower.

In the case of tokens/dollars, that value is easy to assess: the person borrowing your stable coin token who fails to return it owes you $1… but that doesn’t come out of my vault, because you don’t own a token. You’ll have to get that $1 by suing the borrower over failure to deliver.
My salary is very good. I've never joined a company that does leetcode interviews. Only two of the companies I've worked for have been startups.
Have you ever considered that your teammates may be working 1-2 hours each day too ?
Join a startup and move into engineering management asap.

If you can hit director level, they stop asking leetcode questions. But if the goal is to eventually get into a Big Tech company, they may down level a startup director to be a line manager (which may still require leetcode).
