> Barely worth to launch another one

How do you figure? A fleet of space telescopes research teams could interact with through an API without much cost and zero approval, would for sure advance science by a lot. I find it weird to see a statement like this, so maybe you have something else in mind. It's a stretch to go from "building a different one would give new classes of insights" to "having more people being able to use this thing we only have 1 of a kind is barely worth it".
Engineers whining about having to do work that was designed in the past by someone else and coming up with a "creative" hack which will be a headache for someone in the future.
Fiberglass rebar is the future: high strength and won’t rust.

You can also add glass fiber to cement to increase strength but it’s not nearly as strong as rebar.
I can top that: `man read` gives:

Animal testing played a significant role in development of a Polio vaccine. I understand you are making a point that correlation is not causation, but there are actual animal trials where they purposefully infected monkeys and watched the disease progression. There are plenty of things we may not understand in the world, but we do understand some science well enough to prove beyond reasonable doubt causal relationships in certain kinds of experiment design.

Immigration from Germany?

Both Italy and Germany are countries in the EU, hadn't you noticed.
> Mood Disorders are not fundamentally neurological, I am sorry to say, but in fact they are immune disorders which affect neurology

This is interesting to me, thank you. The gut-brain link is fascinating.

Have you read "The Body Keeps the Score"? There are some absolutely shocking stats in that book about the correlation between early childhood trauma and mood disorders. You may find the stuff about EMDR and reconnecting with the body interesting. That said, BPD is often an outlier; as in, it doesn't respond the same as most others.

... I'm not an expert. But, I think the author of that book would agree with you on the difficulty of presenting new information to doctors/neurologists/psychiatrists. It seems to require a lot of resilience.
That may well be so, Japanese cars had an absolutely terrible reputation for being rustbuckets in the 70's so they had to do something about it. Given the number of them that were manufactured the fact that they are so rare today is as far as I know uniquely due to the rust problem.
50 years ago Silicon Valley was not Silicon Valley. We called it San Jose and it was one of the most boring places imaginable. The highlights were the Winchester mystery house and the 3 story Chuck E Cheese. I'm still mildly astonished at what it turned it to - go walk around it sometime and wonder how a grey foggy miles of concrete turned into the epicenter of the digital world.

In retrospect the combo of Cal and Stanford may have made it inevitable, but it's still a dump.

Also, realistically, having ADHD doesn’t mean you need to start taking meds or changing your life or something. Think of the word “ADHD” as recognizing that theres a class of people who fit these labels, are often predisposed to these issues, and can sometimes be helped by these solutions - it’s only a disorder if it causes problems in your life :)
> Property taxes can also can increase without you doing anything so if your income is fixed or does not increase fast enough you could lose your house due to a tax lien

Like I said, you won't lose your house within your lifetime at current property tax rates. I see no reason why we should guarantee owners' houses for any longer than that instead of freeing up those houses on the market for new owners.

Tax deferral is a great idea, tax relief not so much.
Hadoop is not going anywhere. People are jumping to it in huge numbers. It's very hot. It has sane architecture in my opinion. I'd say it has awesome architecture and I have great respects to the ones responsible for it. They've got very quality foundations. Hadoop is new ETL. You expected to know SQL and ETL, now you'll be expected to know Hadoop if you're a developer.

~HN, circa 2010
I agree. As a dev in a pretty large organization, I have seen the knowledge of business logic dissapate as the org grew, with some churn. To the point now where very few people actually know how the current system works, let alone how it is supposed to work. This means the only concrete definition of "this is what the system is supposed to do" is only in the code. The organization is disorganized, and the code is only as good as the level of organization outside the code - so very poor. All this gotme thinking about what does it mean exactly to be organized? We call companies "organizations" because they are groups of people getting together and organizing. If the organization is not organized the code (or any other artifact it produces) will also be poorly organized. Organizing is sorting, classifying, grouping, communicating etc.

I am in advertising for 20 years now and we all know display ads are a scam no matter if it’s on the web, in apps or on the search engine. The numbers are bogus and don’t correlate with sales BUT they are logarithmic to your spending if you spend a lot of money you will get bigger numbers and that’s all that counts for marketing execs. Ofc… there are outliers but 80% of online advertising is fraudulent. Creatives don’t want to work on it so everything gets automated a DCO campaign can have upwards to 10k assets for a big fortune 100 campaign… headlines in which you only change the place or some rudimentary ads regarding weather… and the only ones interested in these assets are marketplaces.
This idea is not limited to OO systems and classes, "private" visibility is very useful in languages that make use of modules as well.
Can you cite any sources that confirm what you assert? Anecdotally, I have lived on a farm and my experience contradicts everything you mentioned, except possibly education (but I don't have children, so I wouldn't really know).
Does the definition of 'neglect' include letting your child out into the neighborhood alone?
How engineers feel about non-engineering counterparts in their business is a only reflection of their own maturity.
Yes it is about tests in general. I think it fits the discussion and many comments very well, this does not really seem to be about only unit tests specifically. Many comments are more general in tone.

The very comment at the top of this sub-thread does not seem to limit itself to the subject of unit tests.

I like how you say "the dealer made sure not to volunteer any extra info" as if this was a secret and the dealer somehow scammed your friend into buying a brand new car at the height of a chip shortage and record high car prices.

Please do use the Unlicense. I've published dozens of projects that are widely used in production under the Unlicense. In my experience, it works just fine. Granted, I do dual license with the MIT to ease folks' worries, but there have been plenty of contributions to my projects without any fuss. It's my hope that one day the dual licensing will no longer be a necessary hedge, however, for the folks that want to use my work under the Unlicense, they can. The way to make the Unlicense more broadly acceptable, IMO, is for more people to use it.

The only issue that has cropped up from this is that Google employees can use but not contribute to these projects.

I also personally love the name of the Unlicense. Personally, I use it because I'm interested in a bit of advocacy against monopoly copyright interest.
That doesn’t make any sense though. Make the kids suffer chicken pox AND shingles as adults do adults don’t get shingles as often? Anyone who contracts chickenpox as a child is able to get shingles as an adult. Inversely, anyone who gets the chickenpox vaccine as a child is unable to get shingles as an adult.

Kids that are vaccinated for chickenpox can’t get shingles as adults. That’s a really poor way to optimize.

Adults can also get shingles vaccines, which exist, and are safe, but are only given generally to elderly and very immunocompromised.

Shingles is not common in the US, I’ve had it twice due to an extremely stressful job: I’m perhaps an outlier as I got it in two places at once (1% of people get this) and one of which was in my eye, almost causing permanent blindness. This would never have happened at all had the vaccine existed when I was a child and I was vaccinated.
Is the whole thing open? I assumed it was open-core and the good bits were hasicorp secret sauce.
>But choices can be unmade as easily as they are made.

...Do...do you even program? Or build?

Because that right there tells me that you've never, ever been realistically engaged with a long term decision with long tails (read: other people that aren't you as stakeholders, or strings of dependent decisions).

There is nothing more permanent than a temporary stopgap, and bells that can be unrung are exceedingly rare, and never ever trivial to implement.
It's 100% the combination of low interest rates and restrictive housing policy.

But I don't think we should blame the central bank for the low interest rates anymore than we should blame a thermostat for running the heater all the time during an unprecedented cold spell. The central bank if anything was probably not keeping interest rates low enough for the last two decades considering how low the employment to prime age population ratio and inflation were. Interest rates are just especially low compared to historical standards because of the sovereign wealth funds, growing inequality, reduced population growth, and Asia becoming much richer with crazy savings rates.
The reason saffron is exotic (for Americans) is because Iran produces 90+% of it, and the US government wants to punish the Iranian government with trade sanctions.

> "...like driving to Joel Salatin's Polyface Farms and buying broiler chickens directly from him."

reading omnivore's dilemma when it came out impulsively made me want to do that, but of course the impracticality of that quickly dawned on me. it's similarly why reading a book is a better than going and getting first-hand accounts for all our information. we've created socioeconomic structures for very good reasons, so we shouldn't want to burn them down for the tradeoffs, but rather we should address the negatives directly.
> - As lightweight as possible (i.e. no Java, Python or Ruby)

I don't have suggestions for you, but I do have a question regarding this point. Why wouldn't Java be considered lightweight? Java literally runs on your SIM card, which is a very bare-bones environment to run something on, I'd probably consider something like that pretty lightweight.

This article feels like a poor retread of what Ben Thompson has been writing [0] and podcasting [1] about for at least the last 5 years. Even the rough sketch diagrams feel like a poor copy of what Ben does at Stratechery. The conclusion that "if we just... <do something>" is vague, reductionist, and hand wavy. These aren't simple problems and the old antitrust tools weren't designed for monopolists who focus on the demand side rather than the supply side.

I've looked into this as well; and from my understanding the amount of physical activity New Yorkers undergo by walking everywhere may offset the detrimental effects of the city's pollution; leaving New Yorkers with an average life expectancy that mirrors (or may be a bit higher) than the rest of the nation. It goes to show you how important regular, several times per day, low intensity exercise may be for human health.

Maybe also, the relative windiness of the city leads to less accumulation of road dust than you'd have in other areas? (Totally just conjecture).
Without a desktop intermediary your best bet is to email the file to your kindle from your phone. By default kindles have a random generated email address. You can customize the email address to something memorable in your kindle settings (and also in Amazon's Devices settings web pages) or just add the random generated address to your contact list.

There's a bunch of tutorials on it you can find that try to make it easy to figure out where these settings pages are. But of course Amazon likes to move that cheese every few months and A/B test "improvements" to the pages and page designs so tutorials also get outdated quickly.
I think it's reasonable. Other licenses use the traditional method of being silent (not saying anything) about patents, so if someone had granted the right to run the code without mentioning a patent, I bet it'd be hard to find a judge who would decide that the right to the patent (or at least to not have it enforced) didn't come with the rights given to the code.

Whereas with CC0 it's explicit that the same person who granted you the code could sue you for running it. There's no room for interpretation.
Have a hard time believing this is true in NYC proper.

Most of the housing stock in NYC are co-ops, which have fairly strict rules about renting out units. Condos are significantly more expensive to purchase, and there is pretty much nothing you can purchase right now that would yield positive cash flow given how pricey real estate is even with rents so high.

Airbnb is technically banned in NYC, and while I'm sure there continue to be illegal Airbnbs I don't see many listings myself that are for the entire unit as opposed to a room if it isn't a monthly rental.
To this I would add, make sure you have a great support network, be it friends, family, significant other or even co-workers. Also, never underestimate the benefits of a decent therapist.

The weed is only contributing to your depression. You may think it helps you escape, but it actually is making it worse.
Well, Wikipedia article on the concept is titled "Unity of opposites". Anyway, I just don't understand how dialectics has anything to do with what is being discussed. Division is opposite of both unity and synthesis.
I particularly like this bit:

> The MIT License unquestionably has an express [patent] license. That license is not limited to the granting of any particular flavor of intellectual property rights. The statement of license does not use the word "patent" or the word "copyright." When was the last time you heard someone expressing concern that the MIT License merely had an implied copyright license?
Fuctose yourself! Kidding of course. I think there's a lot of mental health to gain by following a personalized diet taking into account your own body's "specifications" as it were.

I'm guessing current western high carb/low nutritional value diet is detrimental to mental health.
> It just doesn't allow ads that say "Glock is the best pistol".

Until, well, yesterday (edit: not yesterday, that says "June." My mistake), it was illegal in Germany to advertise where you can get an abortion. Abortion was and is legal there, but the doctors providing them weren't allowed to tell anyone that that's where they could go to get one.

https://www.politico.eu/article/germany-parliament-bundestag...

This is a pretty analogous situation to what Newsom / his party want in California: guns legal (after a fashion) but for anyone part of the gun industry to be excluded from the public square.

Do you think that Germany changing their law is a step backwards, since you support an equivalent law in California? Or do you have a double standard between free speech applied to one kind of ad versus the other?
With time evolution will widen the conditions, with how much plastic is in the environment.

But wood and paper are also readily biodegrade, and yet by simply by controlling the amount of moisture present we manage to make those last a long, long time. In addition we have treatment options to delay decomposition even in wet conditions.
I don’t think we need a ban on short term rentals. Those actually do serve a purpose (and I don’t mean the AirBnB illegal hotel variety).

Instead, only allow short term rentals where the owner is present. This means multi family units or rooms in houses or apartments.

As for taxing them, it’s a nice idea but AirBnB is already not paying hotel taxes.

As for vacancy taxes, I’m more skeptical just because this hasn’t seemed to have worked anywhere it’s been tried (eg Vancouver).

We just need to stop being so friendly to people parking money in residential real estate with punitive taxation and restrictions.
Dunno, I consider it a win. 99% of my looking at a touchscreen is at the map/car for more situational awareness. I look for things like is there a traffic jam coming up? Or see some motion out of the corner of my eye, turns out it's a motorcycle splitting lanes behind me. Or the car two cars ahead of me flashes red because it's braking.
The always present current speed limit is handy as well, didn't realize how often I used it until I drove a car without it.

At least in Tesla's, it seems like a win for safety. No switching channels, no loading CDs/switching stations (just say "play pink floyd"), no playing with volume (it's on the steering wheel), automatic wipers, (with manual do it now on the stalk), automatic temp control, voice based nav that works well. Seat adjustments are on the seat. Cruise control following distances are on the steering wheel. Pause music is on the steering wheel (or automatic when you receive a call or ask for voice control).

Car's without touchscreens still often require looking, can you change your channel to preset #3 without looking? Switch from heat to AC mode? Defrost your front/rear windshield? Seems about the same as a touch screen, and relatively infrequent.

Not sure what people are doing on their touch screens, but I rarely touch mine, and when I look it's for more info about my environment, not less.
Sounds like the next phase for failed NFT promoters.

I can't wait to see how this gets marketed. I envision it devolving into some sort of scheme to facilitate human trafficking before it gets shut down.

The more these wacky schemes proliferate, they destroy any trust worthiness the Internet once had, and they flood all the outlets we used to go to for valid information with ads... The future has been fraught with so much disappointment in terms of the Internet's promise from the early days. It's infected almost every aspect of business online.
If this precluded the ability to eg install a program via curl or brew, or even just a .dmg you download from your browser, you bet there is gonna be hell to pay.

> It's already pretty much the default for phones, and tablets.

It's unfortunate they made it that far with smartphones, but there is much less precendent for thinking of a phone as a "general purpose computer" in comparison to a laptop/desktop.
> The European carmakers lead the way with various degrees of zinc plating and dipped coatings being widely implemented on their products in the 70s and 80s.

Ford developed e-coat in the 50's. Everyone took up this to varying extents during the mid-to-late 70's.

> whereas the Europeans tend to put quite a bit more effort in.

I'm sorry, this just doesn't match my experience looking at mid-80's Japanese, American, and European cars. e.g. Porsche took up galvanizing during the transition from the 911S to the 911SC and further worked to improve coatings leading up to the Carrera 3.2 to attempt to control rust, but 3.2s still fared really poorly in the corrosion department. Ditto for BMWs of the era.

> This is baseless fanboyism.

You just made a bunch of unsupported assertions yourself leaning in the opposite direction.
I am a huge fan as well. I usually feel like I am spending much less time during the checkout process than I used to.

Sometimes though, when all the checkout lanes are in use, I dream of a licensing scheme for use. So many people take _forever_ to checkout, you would think this technology was introduced in the last month.

When this happens I like to play a game where I race to check myself out before everyone else (that has already started since I am taking the latest emptied spot). I would say I win this game probably 80% of the time.
Stock photo, boring essay and no link to original presentation.
> So you just want it renamed to "social studies" or what? What is your proposal, that nobody research this topic, or that they be separated in journals etc

Yes. And that the rest of us stop treating it as science, citing it as science, and relying on it as science.

For example, there is a major trend in the law of treating social sciences as having truth value the way real sciences do. That’s the kind of thing we need to stop doing.
> To clarify, I'm only talking about code in the same project that everyone has access to. I'm not talking about defining an API for other people to use that don't have access to the code, like when you make a library.

Within reason, you should treat every class as a tiny library that defines an API for other people to use.

That allows you freedom to change things within the class without breaking other code. It also makes it easier to prevent accidental misuse of the class that can leave it in weird states that aren't supposed to happen. It allows you to reason about the intended use cases of the class and write tests for them all.
Apple FaceID in general but definitely when driving, wearing sunglasses, or outside in bright sunlight.

I have a mount for the phone at center dash of my car and FaceID rarely works from there. I have to lean over while trying to drive to put my face in front of the phone to get it to work … sometimes. Usually the phone insists on the passcode which is insecure when mounted on dash for passengers to easily view and provides a further distraction.

Good old TouchID worked so much better in most circumstances.
