Based on your criteria I would consider the US support for a post-Hosni Mubarak government in Egypt perhaps counter-productive for US interests for the sake of democracy.

I would also consider the continued humanitarian support of Afghanistan as not aligned with NATO corporate interests, broadly speaking. EDIT: As compared with the continued occupation of the country.

In fact in most of Europe banks have to absorb the cost as well unless they can proof that you acted negligently (e.g wrote down your pin and had it in the same wallet as your card), it is the same essentially for online banking.
Your argument reads as, “data scientists only know machine learning! Not me, I use popular models from statistics too!”

Not trying to sound offensive, but it’s the same aggressive stance repeated on twitter by every other stats/econ phd. And it’s hardly ever true at any big tech company, where most data scientists (especially those writing the design docs) have PhDs in fields ripe with popular non-ml methods.

I’ve seen far more e.g. fixed-effect models in production than neural networks. Far more synthetic controls and d-in-ds in research papers than ml models. Far more survey sampling methodologies and power studies than multi-armed bandits. All from the “very few” data scientists who apparently haven’t heard of these methods.

There’s a big difference between data scientists working in industry (at least what I’ve seen) and the “learn ml in 10 minutes!” blog post authors on medium.

> The flaws in the RBMKs which were known before Chernobyl were fixed afterwards

Indeed, and it shows that the design wasn't flawed to the point of condemning it: a fix was possible. Implication: even a non-major flaw can trigger a disaster.

> (with changes that had been proposed before Chernobyl)

Indeed, and it shows that even detected problems sometimes aren't fixed. This is not reserved to the USSR: Fukushima also showed it (it was well-known that the seawall/levee wasn't high enough, as recalled in my previous post here the nearby Onagawa plant had an adequate levee).

“Out of bounds write” means buffer overflow?
Having eating crickets in Mexico in the past, now I'm concerned.
Eating insects is about as dangerous as it was ten years ago or twenty years ago.

If more people are eating insects than before that might increase risks.

I don't really have any opinion on this, nor any horse in the race.

But, what does any of this have to do with exponentials?

> [...] the probability of catastrophic outcomes is exponential [...]

Exponential in what input variable?
I really appreciate this post and how it highlights the power of becoming involved in occupation. I use that term in the context of the fact that my spouse is an Occupational Therapist by trade. In that field, the term occupation refers to a collection of activities of daily living, not a "job" per se. Rather than seeing patients through a framework of diagnosis or disability, they look at activities and people's ability to perform them, and intervene where there is lack. In practice that may involve helping an amputee learn how to put on socks, or helping an autistic child participate in education. More broadly, a central philosophy of their field is that meaningful occupation is a powerful motivator that has cascading effects across the many component activities in somebody's daily life. OP's post described how becoming involved as a Guix contributor effectively organized and motivated other areas of their life as well. The fact that we all are here hanging out on a VC's forum tends to color our idea of what value means. I think this post inspires that there is value to not only the community but also the individual as well in just "doing cool stuff".
It's very not true.

Even just taking a daily contact out once and immediately popping it back in can sometimes mangle it up enough to noticably fuck up my vision. Biweeklys are much more tough as they're actually designed to be handled.

> remaining RBMK reactors at Chernobyl continued to operate for years

Many reactors did continue to operate, in many sites. It shows that the design wasn't flawed to the point of condemning it: a fix was possible. Implication: even a non-major flaw can trigger a disaster.
> well, I've nothing to say actually.

That's definitely better than "go fuck yourself". "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all" and all that.

Tbh, I've seen the "go fuck yourself" attitude in almost every Free Software community I've spent time around. It's really just a matter of whether it's encouraged, tolerated, or actively rejected by the project maintainers and influencers.

I would hope that someone writing a blog post this positive would be one of the "actively rejecting" folks, but I really don't know anything about Guix (hadn't heard of it until this post).

I will say that I run NixOS on my primary home server, and while there's definitely a learning curve there, the community I've experienced is largely very helpful, friendly, and positive. Now that I've got most of it working the way I want, I don't see myself moving to something else any time soon (it's absolutely rock solid).

This is really cool, and reminds me of some parts of Domen Kozar's recent talk titled 'Nix is going mainstream'¹. The crucial work of putting together this kind of really simple frontend seems like what he's talking about when he says we need 'our Docker', like how Docker built upon old tech (chroots, jails, LXC) to make it radically more usable.

exponential has come into popular usage to mean “really high”, i.e. not exponential. I frequently see it used to refer to single values that aren’t even in a time series, or in comparison to one single previous value (“exponentially higher”) when that is, of course, a mathematical impossibility.

It’s similar to how unconscious is now commonly used to mean subconscious (i.e. not unconscious) and literally is commonly used to mean not literally.

It troubles me that our specific words are getting watered down by pop usage, like sharp tools being blunted. This is different than my usual prescriptivist screeching.
I'm not sure about that. There are probably hundreds or thousands of still-viable mutations it might come up with at random, and we don't want to inject dozens of vaccine candidates to deal with them. Or maybe we do? A lot of adults have probably had a dozen or two dozen varying flu shots.
I don't know if the US has the cultural impetus to automate a lot of this stuff. Here the ATO collect pretty much any transaction you do.

Your income is reported and taxes will be withheld from each paycheque, your bank gives them all your details, and your healthcare provider also provides reports.

I can imagine the average American would be uncomfortable with the required data collection.

> If we simply went back to pre-1962 law, the FDA could still require proof of safety, but would not be able to require evidence on efficacy. This one change would allow drugs to be developed faster–often as much as 10 years faster. Market success would establish efficacy. Could there be ineffective drugs? Sure. But as doctors and patients learn, such drugs would disappear over time. This is nothing new; doctors and patients regularly evaluate drugs for efficacy. Clinical trials often show that perhaps only 20 percent, 40 percent, or 60 percent of patients benefit. Even when the FDA finally approves the drug as “safe and efficacious,” doctors must still evaluate the drug to find out how efficacious it is for each particular patient. In practice, an FDA certification of efficacy is just a starting point.

Btw Ivermectin is FDA approved. I am not sure why you bring that up?

> I can really only name a handful of projects that are widely used and of high quality that have not been largely funded by commercial world: OpenSSH, some other BSD stuff, what else?

Is this perhaps though a result of most projects allowing donations, and some companies (e.g. Google) having a lot of capital to throw around and funding them more-or-less just because? Would Linux not still exist in a similar form to today?

Also, I would add things like the GNU project, and notably VLC media player, alongside OpenSSH and the BSD stuff.

I agree with your final point, though. I can't actually think of a company whose product only in-house FOSS software. Red Hat, Suse, Purism, etc are building off community code, not something primarily developed internally. And companies like MongoDB make all of their money off of non-free cloud products.

One that I can think of that was once like this, the Subsonic media player, actually went closed source due to too many people re-hosting the code and not paying the maintainer.

Totally. Despite the successive governments (state and federal) obsession with mines and sell direct from mining, the treasury, business development, industry and labour unions as well as business sector (not mining) continually beg for help to re-boot the industrial capacity to value-add that mine stuff.

The problem is, the miners can't be made to do this. It demands huge capital investment they have low to no motivation to fulfil.

They are a considerable source of nutriments such as proteins and lipids.

> But wouldn't knowing that require that you investigated the tech choices of all the apps you are using?

I did investigate every app I ran, because I was programming UIs and was interested in all tech that was there. To the point of being able to tell whether the app was written with Delphi or Qt or MFC/ATL by just playing with it.

Qt apps on Mac always stand out, being "OK" is the top they achieve.

Windows is less offended because it has never had a stable style, but still, there are always tiny details like context menus or not responding to Ctrl+Arrows that give non-native away.
My go to solution for bookmarking is https://github.com/sienori/Tab-Session-Manager

(Available for Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-session-m... and Chrome https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-session-manage...)

It understands whether a bookmark should be opened as a pinned tab, and the tree structure of tabs saved together as a window if you use tree style tabs (in Firefox). It also saves the history of the tab, so going back on history works

It can even open the tab session window in a tab instead of the small tooltip, by clicking on the expand button in the corner. For me this is a killer feature

The only issue is that it is oriented towards saving whole windows (or even whole sessions) rather than a single tab. There is UI for saving just a tab at once but it's a bit hidden. But for your intended use cases, its workflow is perfect

> i want to be able to quickly load common favorite news sites & blogs.

> or load a window with all my productivity SaaS sites.

Saving a whole window at once is much better for this

> or pick up where i left off on a research rabbit hole.

Saving whole windows at time is much better for restoring your working memory, specially if you use tree style tabs.

You can already do all the things you ask for, in Chrome.

Control+shift+B is the shortcut to hide/unhide the bookmark bar. If you unhide it, it remains visible, even next time you restart chrome. You can create bookmark folders. Then right click on the folder -> "Open all" or "Open all in new window". Etc. It's intuitive, efficient, and prominent ("Open all" is literally the FIRST item in the right-click context menu on a bookmark folder).
That is only on the surface, you then have to look at companies that are listed elsewhere but are actually Chinese ( A Chinese company listing its HQ somewhere else ), or completely owned by the Chinese Investment.

You then look at rest of non-Chinese owned companies, how many of those are completely dependent on Chinese customers ( If 60%+ of your revenue are from China ) or dependant on Apple ( given this is an Apple Supplier list ) where Apple has a tendency, habit or even a strategic mindset to help Chinese companies into their supply chain as part of its diversification, or cost reduction.

And if people ( as few on HN are already doing ) continue to think Apple relying on Taiwanese company called Foxconn. You may want to do a search on Luxshare or more commonly known as ICT. And see how it started and Tim Cook’s opinion on it. Dating back to 2016.

They won't let you punch in an expired prescription, let alone "whatever you want," but if you've bought a pair of glasses from them in the past, they'll let you buy another pair even if the prescription is now expired.

IIRC they basically try to chase up your eye doctor for you, and if your eye doctor doesn't respond within a certain timeframe, they have a greenlight to proceed with the sale according to a California law that was passed maybe 10 years ago. It's probably different in different states - maybe in some states you can literally just type in whatever you want.
I suspect that is the case here. Though I had hoped that there would be some interesting mathematical model that Shaburn had in mind, because they mentioned something about rates:

I wish Apple could lock AirPods to your Apple ID, would instantly make them worthless for stealing. Same as they do for iPhones with activation lock. If you tried to pair them to another user's iPhone, it should immediately say the headphones are stolen and your location has been transmitted to the owner.
Furthermore, gun control is back in the spotlight after Uvalde. I just attended the TX Democratic convention and at least three speakers argued to raise the age for purchasing firearms to 21.

> I watched them sit at the rental car terminal for weeks

Do you mean that the car rental office actually did find your AirPods and kept them in their office for 30 days? It sounds like that's what you mean since you say that the AirPods moved only after "the 30 day lost & found period expired".

So if that's the case, why wouldn't they mail them back to you? Did they deny having them? If they were intent of keeping them, why would they bother holding them at the car terminal for 30 days?
