It indeed is, I’m not sure how I messed that one up!

Regarding the cost, of course that should be taken into consideration but I don’t understand how it can be that expensive. Or rather, I understand how it can be but there is no good reason for it to be. The state has all means to commission drug manufacturers to provide it cheaply for this purpose. It is in fact very important that there exists no monetary incentive for any industry to sell drugs to these clinics.

Regarding people not coming back, that is incredibly tragic, yet it’s still better to keep them “contained” rather than leaving them to procure their next fix on their own by any means necessary.
I explored this argument independently around 2000 and my conclusion was that anything of sufficient complexity can be a representation of anything, given the correct interpretation of the data (a similar argument to the author in this regard).

This seems to imply that every rock (complex body of information) contains infinite consciousnesses, variable by interpretation.

This seems to imply that the interpretation of data is the key element of computation, but that view is confounded by a scenario where a huge flip book contains all of the possible screen presentations of a simulation, and the following page is determined by the choices of the observer. In this case, the computation and the data is arguably both contained within the data, with the act of representation carried out by the act of observation.

This suggests that the act of observation is in fact the critical second component, data and observation with computation being an integral part of one, or the other, rather than a distinct entity at all.

This indeed suggests that computation is not real- ultimately there is only data and observation.

Where that leads us is squarely into the quantum realm, with “wave collapse” due to measurement of information. I’m not sure where we go from there but I thought that was an interesting intersection.

I am not so sure whether to fully specialize in either of them since both, the frontend and backend are too interesting and have challenging problems.

I have 3.5 YOE and don`t know whether specializing in either of them would be beneficial for my career.
> the only color they care about is green.

As it should be. Corporations should not have many opinions and should operate within the law. If corporate leaders or employees don’t like it then they can spend their free time lobbying or campaigning for politicians that want to change things. Only after the law is changed should the company make a change. Until then, business as usual.

In 1973 I visited the office of a chemistry professor. He and his research partner seemed to be on somewhat of a downhill slide. For years they had dreams of discovering a catalyst that would let water break into hydrogen and oxygen from exposure to direct sunlight. They never found that catalyst, and after nearly fifty years, I never even hear the concept any more.

Secondary DNS is great for failover. I run dual piholes in a primary-secondary setup for that purpose.

The only issue you will run into is if your router can’t pass two DNS server addresses, or your client machines don’t know how to handle multiple DNS servers or failover behavior.

Ok, that makes sense. I had thought 'compiler' was from the 1950s and already had its modern meaning.

Of course, if we had more rational vocabulary, we'd call them 'translators' instead. (In fact, that's what German does. Perhaps they coined their corresponding term a bit later, when things had already shaken out a bit more.)
hurhurhur big think... string theory has at the very least given useful tools for particle and field theory as a research area, saying this doesn't work is like complaining that I can't take home a jar of magnons to show someone

So, let's take all of our personal info that is being harvested by many organizations and further defragment & centralize it by giving it to one organization?

What could go wrong?

I like the idea of getting it out of control of the current harvesting orgs, but what makes this group more trustworthy? They seem great now, but when you are dealing with a corporation, things can change - their situation andmor leadership changes and the formerly trustworthy organization is now extracting everything they can from you.

A much better model would be to store the data locally with your equipment (maybe offering e2e encrypted cloud backup such that they can't read it), and their service provides a hub controlling the gathering & distribution of info according to your rules/permissions.

The only thing we know Paleolithic people ate a lot of is meat.

Paleolithic archaeological sites are full of marrow-scraped bones and the stone tools used to kill and butcher. Paleolithic teeth have little of the damage associated with eating grit from ground grains. We have such remarkable discoveries as a building made entirely of mammoth skulls.

The Hadza are a modern people, and modern hunter-gatherers have been pushed to the fringes. Early English and French explorers documented the diets of the North American people they encountered: they ate a lot of meat, growing the Three Sisters as a supplement to a diet heavy in game and fish.

It was the Neolithic in which population pressure forced people to start eating grain, and eventually growing it. They immediately became shorter and their teeth started falling out.

Spaced repetition doesn't help with the use case of needing to recall lots of little details spread across a wide number of knowledge domains. You'd spend more time trying to remember everything than on actually doing useful work.

I suspect it'll actually be that you're even more connected with your friends, all the time. Which is already the business that FB is in, so that makes sense for them to try to get there first.

With proper AR glasses, people (especially young people) could be constantly in contact with their friends without having to pull their phone out. Reading certain muscles could be used to control it, or maybe even direct brain interface.

Add in games that could be literally everywhere a la Pokemon Go, but better, and it'll be a very compelling experience for pre-teens, teens and young adults, and even many middle-age people.

It's going to be a hard sell for my age group, unless we're already really inclined towards tech, like me.

Firestore makes it easy to get productive quickly and then drive straight into quicksand.
You do realize web apps can be packaged up and distributed on the Play Store and work just like regular apps on Android, and so YouTube Music among others are already web apps. Pretending like no one is interested when we're talking about probably close to 100 million users or more for a single web app is disingenuous.

I'm sorry - but this is just not a realistic take.

Call me when I can install Safari on linux (or any platform other than macOS/iOS).

Until then - the ugly truth is that Apple intentionally underfunds and underdevelops the browser because they see it as a fundamental risk to their control and revenue from the App store.

It's there because "they have to have a browser" not because they're doing anything novel or clever. And many of the things they refuse to implement aren't related to ads or Google's control at all - they're things that would have narrowed the gap between what a website can do on iOS, and what the App store apps could do.

Again - Apple is acting EXACTLY like microsoft here. Underinvesting in the browser because they see it as a fundamental risk to their best revenue stream - much like how MS ignored IE when the focus was all on local apps (the king of which was still MS office).

I don't know, it really degraded the performance of whatever you were playing compared to today's hardware solution (that comes with basically all GPUs) for recording stuff, directly from the GPU without any performance impact.

What defines a "balanced" diet?

Guess what; no one can agree on what a balanced diet actually is. It's quite literally one of the least scientific concepts ever invented.

In fact, there's evidence to the contrary that eating a "balanced" diet that combines macronutrients really is not a good thing.

The potato diet likely works because fatty acids and glucose aren't competing to such an extent that cells stop accepting more energy, thereby causing the body to have to release more insulin. And because potatoes are very satiating.

"Security is another big one in that the WebKit process is running with privileges that Apple does not want to award to any other app process on the platform, much less a third-party one."

If they really cared about security then they could subject their browser to an independent security audit, and require the same audit be passed for any other browser that's allowed on their platform.

This also makes the whole prostitution business more shady than in fully liberalized models, like Germany.

Kind of like how sanctions against Russia levied with no clear terms for removing them won't make them stop since you have basically made them your enemy with no honorable agreement possible.

Taking another example - I HIGHLY doubt every single BLM kneeling player actually agrees with it. But they do it because their priority is playing football, and it's better to stay silent and focus on the football.

Which I think is actually fair enough. You might actually destroyed your entire career in this case by taking a principled stand, and you are being forced to participate in something against your will. In the end you are a footballer wanting to play football.

Unfortunately though looking at it from the outside, it starts to really look like an authoritarian ritual that everyone is forced to participate in, like the 30 minute clapping that many dictators get after speeches because everyone is afraid to be the first to stop.

But that doesn't mean the system is good or people actually agree with the dictator.

In both of your examples, crypto provides an advancement in live valuation that the other industries cannot.

Despite you making them rhetorical demonizations of crypto, the answers are actually “maybe? we don't know, what does Forrester and other market research firms say, do they have that data?”

(Other times when this is pointed out, people typically reveal that they view everything else as more useful than crypto - which naturally would then include gurus and affiliate programs - so their market size and country size emissions doesn't actually matter when this point is more accurately challenged.

Oh and early on they had URL prefetching, but that led to badly written web interfaces from executing operations that shouldn't happen.
Yes - if you're building just for yourself, but if you're building an OSS library your _audience_ is now larger than just React one and you have potential benefit of writing a thin wrapper around it in some new framework (if React stops being _mainstream_).
