People who think that the COVID measures were repressive wish for an authoritarian government? Get your propaganda right.
I appreciate your points, I think this is an interesting debate. What I mean is that the right thing to do is to call things out if you know they are wrong, even if that involves risk. Assuming that you are absolutely certain that it is indeed a fraud and that the investors are not aware, that is the right and honourable thing to do. Not only that, but looking away is wrong. Think about the hundreds of Theranos employees who were too busy considering risk/benefit and decided to look the other way vs the whistleblower guy. Of those two, who do you think will have their career impacted? who do you think have their reputation tarnished?

Unless you live in China or another poor governance country, whistleblowing is actually encouraged. It signals integrity and honesty. If the thing is indeed a fraud, it will eventually collapse. When that happens, you will have a pretty embarrassing spot in your CV. When you look back in 10-20 years, on what side do you want to be?

Another minor point:

>I'm a small investor myself, far too small to even be allowed to invest in venture capital funds. Would I want some employee somewhere to take potentially life changing risks in order to protect me from losing a percentage or two of my money? Certainly not..

Pension funds invest in VC so even if you make minimum wage, you still most likely have money invested in VCs. The longer you wait, the more of people's money (pensions, endowments, etc) will be lost in this fraud.
Yea 200-250k is starting base of seniors now. Options, RSUs, bonus on top of it.
Not saying that's not laudable. But any company beholden to any government that has any law with the wording along the lines of being able to get the logs of citizens using it and with a court system that can enforce such judgement then the only outcome I can see is:

1. Something happens (terrorism/cpam/insert-bad-thing-here) and a court case ensues and the defense says we don't have logs as we pipe them to /dev/null and the judge says haha nice try here's a fine that puts you out of business or worse jail time.

If you are wondering how such underreporting could happen, just look at the comments on this thread, many of which are elaborations on the theme of "I'm not at all convinced excess deaths is a good measure of Covid-19 deaths."

Excess deaths and correcting for reporting reliability is how influenza deaths have been counted since about forever. The conclusion to draw is not that "COVID wasn't so bad" but rather that infectious disease prevention should always be taken more seriously. Policies like WFH, mask use, and limiting exposure to situations where super-spreading can take place should become part of the toolkit for fighting influenza and other infectious diseases.

Um, nope. CMYK is not basic. Rotation and scaling are basic. Gaussian blur is basic. Levels/Curves are basic. CMYK is advanced stuff.

It gets worse. He claims that OpenCascade, a 3D solids construction engine, is the alternative to AutoCAD, a 2D drafting program.

Oh stop it. Every time we make progress there will be some unequal effect. Some people will benefit and others will lose out. We should do our best to balance the trade offs, but to say someone shouldn’t be ambitious if there is some unequal effect is preposterous and pessimistic.
1. You can't edit posts after a short time

2. I still haven't changed my general opinion about LASIK: it seems too much like a "convenience surgery" to me, i.e., most people who get it have correctable vision with eyeglasses/contacts. It's also not hard to find stories from the minority of people who had complications and regret it.

3. My original comment came with this disclaimer: "Remember to listen to your doctor over random people on the Internet, including me."
I love Signal, but in some jurisdictions government request for data can be accompanied by gagging orders with serious penalties for breach. I'm not sure that list can be considered complete.
What are the odds the founders/developers of Telegram are being coerced towards this based on a possibility of evidence of illegal activities they may have done/do actively in their life? The odds certainly aren't zero?
I'm a big fan of IPFS, but the "clever chunking" hasn't been very smart in my experience.

Peer maps seems to store the entire dataset in a single 107 GB file [1]

It's unclear to me that that eyros produces a file that doesn't change dramatically when data is inserted or removed.

It seems they are doing full imports, which likely means the output file could be completely different, meaning no shared chucks across generations.

In order to make IPFS actually create sharable chunks takes considerable effort, and is not as magically as their documentation and marketing would lead you to believe.

> but Chrome users are going to be taken by surprise. Many free Chrome extensions aren't going to get updated at all for v3, because it's too much work

On one of the occasions I flipped from mostly Firefox to mostly Chrome/Chromium¹ was due to significant changes to add-ons – and an add-on that was one of my significant points for friction stopping me move over more was one that didn't get updated immediately².

But I think many people will blame the add-ons, and just stick around & complain instead of moving away from the source of the problem. The many dozens of us who will move, not matter how loudly we do so, simply won't be important enough in the grand scheme of things for Google to care.

The fact that he's a war time president at all is a massive minus. He ran on a platform of letting the Russian minority get more autonomy - the previous government's slogan was literally military, language, faith - and then launched a major operation against the break away regions more or less as soon as he got in power.

I'm reminded of Margaret Thatcher's response to this: "He'd rather the poor were poorer, as long as the rich were less rich."[1]

Every ethical dollar earned is a byproduct of value creation. Maybe you meant something more like "as long as he's not ripping off his customers," but otherwise that's an odd thing to say in response to someone who makes good money but is still looking for side jobs.

There's a committee!

Kidding. But with a little research one finds a fairly widespread consensus about professions such as doctors, nurses, utilities engineers (energy/water), teachers, waste disposal, that sort of thing. That literally keep us alive, healthy, and in comfort.

Blair White is a hardline transmedicalist who called usage of puberty blockers "child abuse" and self-describes as "center-right".

She might be trans, but she really is on one ideological line with Shrier und Soh. I'm not sure if White would call for all transition to be banned when opportunistic (as some members of the GOP do now), whereas I have doubts about Shrier and Soh being honest about finding transition acceptable in principle, but that's really the only difference.

Seems like cancer and obesity are already quite well measured and robustly reported, though. Are there numbers to back up your hypothesis that people are dying more due to cancer and heart disease over the past two years?

Or, if you're just proposing that that "will" happen in the future, it seems like it's not really a refutation of the data in the linked article.

How about simply not supporting chrome. I believe some responsibility for this lies with us developers. It was developers who made extensions for chrome. We as technologists recommended chrome to our friends and families. Without us chrome would likely not be in the position it is today and google could not dictate the terms like they do. Maybe it is time that extension authors abandon ship, and we recommend alternative browsers?

To those who argue that chrome is faster and therefore you prefer using it. You should ask yourself, what is more important to you, to see a website a few ms faster or preventing Google to to dictate how the Internet of the future works (apart from the fact that in my experience browser's are so close in performance, that I don't think anyone can consistently pick which browser their on).

I suspect people who say this DO find stereotypes funny - just stereotypes of people they consider to be the "other" side of the political spectrum from you. So it's really just hypocritical virtue signaling.

I've lucked into some great places being cool with part-time work. That said, just yesterday I spoke with a recruiter for a 40hr gig and they had deep concerns that I've had work overlap (my part-time business + 40hr contract work) on my resume. I've pulled out of consideration for that role because of it but am thinking of adjusting my resume to not show overlap. I would've thought it showed drive but I guess - at least in some recruiting circles - that it causes concern.

Should I remove my business from my resume? A lot of my exciting experience comes from my business whereas the 40hr stuff is just standard work I've been doing for years.
I've been running a first-gen 16GB M1 MBP since April 2021

I run it all day every day - Zoom calls, VDI, web browsing, YouTube, etc etc

I can take it off the charger before I start for the day, run it all day with WiFi and Bluetooth running (doing all of the above activities), and I've still got charge available (20-40%, depending on the exact mix of tasks) 10 hours later

In running up on a year and a half ... I've yet to hear the fan once - even sitting in full sun in the car (while someone else drives)

I only wish I could've gotten the M1 iPad Pro so I didn't have to hotspot my phone to use it away from reliable internet :)

Just to note, despite the media hyperbole they get, a stray gamma ray burst directly bathing our earth would probably not do anything close to what you described. Probably worst case scenario: total ozone layer depletion. Bad, very bad for the food chain and for a large part of photosynthesis, but not cataclysmic in the sense of being a sterilizing event.

> Support for new and evolving technologies like PCIe® Gen 5 and DDR5 memory empowers users to grow with their Socket AM5 solution, which AMD will support with platform longevity through 2025

Does it seem like sockets are getting less and less years of support? Just 3 years of "longevity" doesn't seem that long, I probably upgrade my CPU once per 3 years and that would mean if I now move to AM5, I'm gonna have to yet again get a new motherboard when AM6 gets launched in ~2026.
> I spent 1.5 years in ex-Iron-Curtain countries during the Covid era, and people there acted less concerned about crowded indoor spaces and sneezing — and more concerned about surfaces. And everyone seemed to fear that getting physically cold would lead to colds

I went for the first time to Ukraine in the fall and got a fairly heavy case of COVID. My girlfriend is 29 and she was vaccinated with two Moderna shots 2 months prior and also got a heavy case of covid. We took a two-hour bus into another city. The bus was hermetically sealed because the driver bent the aluminum windows railings such that windows don't open to prevent drafts, so that people don't get colds. This was November and nobody was wearing a mask in the bus. By the end of the journey the windows were covered with condensate from 40 people breathing. When we got out of the bus we felt dizzy from lack of oxygen. I think both of us got extremely high doses of the virus and the vaccines were never really tested with those doses: this is why despite the age and recent Moderna vaccinations we both got fairly serious cases.
Brave has their own built-in adblocker so I don't see them putting any effort into keeping Mv3 around after it's actually removed from Chromium.

The 10x10 aspect of it appears to be because there's an invisible outer ring of "if your piece moves here, it is removed from the game" which wouldn't be possible with an 8x8 board that doesn't have an "outside".

Do you still have to go through interviews with clients? If so, how onerous are those?
Yeah, I wouldn't say Joe is unintelligent. He's an autodidact, and as a result he has gaps in his knowledge because he's followed his interests, rather than a formal curriculum.
I respect someone who seems to honestly admit they do not know, and that it's ok to not be sure. And I respect anyone who encourages others to think for themselves (though that failed pretty drastically with Covid).

Compare that any politician who is 100% sure of X until X is only supported by 49% of people.
So you’re saying your average voter never managed to land somewhere on breitbart and see the 82 point headlines about the hunter biden laptop?

https://web.archive.org/web/20201014171957/http://breitbart....

Look, I’m just on my phone so I’m not going to dig up archive links showing the post article all over the web at the time, but really - what do you want? The emergency broadcast system activated to push the story to everyone’s phone like an amber alert?

I was there - and honestly the news about “suppressing” the ny post story just encouraged me to go read it more, ala the Streisand effect. Which is exactly what I did out of morbid curiosity. I encountered no issues finding the story, had no issues with authorities as a result of searching for it and reading it and took no precautions to protect my identity while doing so.
Zuck is trying to blame the FBI to draw attention away from the fact that it was his company that decided to limit the sharing of that story.

The government tells publishers all the time not to print things. The decision is up to the publishers. That’s free speech.

What do you think the government said when the Washington Post called them up and said “we have a bunch of top-secret stuff that one of your contractors stole from the NSA”? The Post published the Snowden stories anyway. This sort of thing happens a lot.

Many people posted and talked about the Hunter laptop story. None of those people went to jail for it.

Sure this article is spammy self-promotion, but their prototype is exciting. I’d use it. It’s frustrating to go to a drugstore and see medicines for a cough, let’s say, each with a different active ingredient, and be unable to find concrete information comparing the effectiveness of each ingredient.

And wow, the WebMD article they mentioned on essential oils was terrible. It really lowers my opinion of WebMD. At this point I get more helpful information about medicines from Reddit.
> At a long desk in the big main room sits an attractive nurse. She offers us an enhancer of B12 or NAD+, through a shot or an IV.

There is one and only one indication for parenteral cyancobalamin (B12) administration and that is deficiency thereof due to inadequate production of gastric intrinsic factor or a disease of the terminal ileum. Period.

It's hard to take anyone seriously who would encourage podcast guests to receive vitamin B12 injections without documenting deficiency. The evidence on this subject is widely available; so if Mr. Rogan gets this so wrong, where else are his impaired reasoning processes taking his 11M followers?
The key point, regardless of the subsequent disagreements about Apple, is that this involves the government. Consequently, it is easy to argue that Google and Big Tech aren't private companies and thus subject to the Bill of Rights.
For another take on Smalltalk, we covered it as a retro-future episode on our podcast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZNqOFAhM8o

- Surprising things about Smalltalk
- Did Smalltalk achieve its goals?
- Failure of Enterprise Smalltalk
Don't forget the famous American rocket scientist, Wernher Von Braun.
That's the way these things always work. There's no way to disentangle true causes of deaths. Influenza death statistics are people who come to health care sick and then die, even when the real cause is "pneumonia" or "heart attack" caused by the infection. You don't know they didn't have another simultaneous infection. You don't know they didn't have a pre-existing cardiac problem. It's just not a resolvable problem.

But no one screams about the flu hoax, do they? Your point is being used as an excuse. It's a nitpick to allow people to ignore an obvious conclusion (a whole lot of people died from covid), presumably because they don't want to have been wrong about masks or something.
