Good question.

I'm somewhat inclined to say if we're uniquely identifying resources with a unique, human-readable string, that's the ID you should always use to refer to things. It seems slightly more complicated to explain to users that there are these two ways to refer to things.

There's also the issue (or benefit) of keeping the UUID the same if you are able to change the human-readable ID.

No in all cases. The self-assembling nanobots aren't a short term goal, and pretty sure they were never seriously promised as short term goal.

In the world at large (not just a schoolroom or workplace situation), everyone is subject to being criticized for their public behavior. That's not bullying. That's holding them to task.

Think people like Onision. The documentary about him by Chris Hansen, Onision: In Real Life, wasn't bullying, cyber or otherwise.

Even if you don't personally think Onision is a predator, it's certainly fair for other individuals to raise the question and wish to discuss the issue themselves on a public website.

Conflating it with harassment (or the lesser "cyberbullying") is dismissive of the very real issues people deserve to be able to discuss.

On this:

> "There's probably about 3 million households in Rwanda, and a vanishingly small number have a fridge. A refrigerator uses about 2 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy per day, so if we were able to get one into every household, that would add about 2 billion kWh (2 terawatt-hours, or tWh) to Rwanda's annual energy usage. That's about as much energy as there is contained in 1 million barrels of oil — and fully one-third of Rwanda's current primary energy consumption."

1) Energy-efficient refrigerators are available at ~1.1 kwH/day. This reduces the needed energy estimate by about half.

2) Energy capture for refrigeration from solar in Rwanda makes much more sense than oil production does. Under full sunlight, a decent 2.5 kW solar array produces about 10 kWH per day (as the full 2.5 KW is only produced at noon, tailing off towards morning and evening). As you probably want to run the refrigerator at night, a battery capable of storing about half that output (5 kWH) would also be needed.

The notion that you'd want to set up an oil-burning power plant (which only converts energy stored in oil to electricity at ~25% efficiency or so) in Rwanda is pretty silly.

As far as claims that there isn't enough land to set up solar panels to provide this minimal home energy supply, the roofs of most dwellings would provide adequate area. It's also possible to grow a wide variety of crops in conjunction with wind turbines and solar panels on agricultural land (wide spacing is all).

> Electrobat! Is that not a great name? It belongs to the first commercially viable EV effort. Philadelphians Pedro Salom and Henry G. Morris adapted technology from battery-electric street cars and boats and got a patent in 1894. At first very heavy and slow (like a trolley car, with steel “tires” and 1600 pounds of batteries onboard), their Electrobat [at left] evolved to employ pneumatic tires and lighter materials so that, by 1896, their rear-steer carriages used two 1.1-kW motors to move 25 miles at a top speed of 20 mph. Electrobats and another electric by Riker won a series of five-mile sprint races against gasoline Duryea automobiles in 1896.

Not according to this part of the result:

"The Pfizer trial exhibited a 36 % higher risk of serious adverse events in the vaccine group; risk difference 18.0 per 10,000 vaccinated (95 % CI 1.2 to 34.9); risk ratio 1.36 (95 % CI 1.02 to 1.83). The Moderna trial exhibited a 6 % higher risk of serious adverse events in the vaccine group: risk difference 7.1 per 10,000 (95 % CI -23.2 to 37.4); risk ratio 1.06 (95 % CI 0.84 to 1.33)."

This seems to contradict the first sentence, which implies Moderna is worse:

"Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccines were associated with an excess risk of serious adverse events of special interest of 10.1 and 15.1 per 10,000 vaccinated over placebo baselines of 17.6 and 42.2 (95 % CI -0.4 to 20.6 and -3.6 to 33.8), respectively."

I'm not sure how to reconcile the apparent contradiction, perhaps others understand what's being said?
I, like you, don't like it the way it is when it comes to remote IT job market, but it's very clear how this works. In country X average full stack developer charges Y dollars, recruiters know what average pay is so they will only offer pay within same range (or sometimes slightly more, like 5% more). Companies look for cheap labor and will not pay more than they really have to.

Where I live now the top pay is around $100k per year (fully remote full stack, but similarly dev/ops). Extremely rarely (maybe once in a year) I see an advert paying $200k and since everyone wants to earn this much the competition is enormous. This also applies to FAANG who don't pay more than average market rate.

I don't know if my observation is close to reality but from what I see better paid positions are usually not going through public job boards but through word of mouth and through networks.

> No politician wants to tell us the real story of fossil fuel depletion. The real story is that we are already running short of oil, coal and natural gas because the direct and indirect costs of extraction are reaching a point where the selling price of food and other basic necessities needs to be unacceptably high to make the overall economic system work. At the same time, wind and solar and other “clean energy” sources are nowhere nearly able to substitute for the quantity of fossil fuels being lost.

> This unfortunate energy story is essentially a physics problem. Energy per capita and, in fact, resources per capita, must stay high enough for an economy’s growing population. When this does not happen, history shows that civilizations tend to collapse.

I can't remember what exactly the problem was, but Anno 2070 was the very last Ubisoft game I ever bought, because I bought it through Steam and then there was 'Some Stupid Problem' relating to either DRM or their trying to force the use of their own Steam-a-like too, and I never actually got to play the game.

Really, that's beyond naive. You can point to protocols and absence of faults in it, but this protocol works on a device fully remotely controlled by Apple, and you communicate with your location data via Apple website that loads a very big chunk of JS. Can you prove that Apple does not have the ability to slip a somewhat modified JS code specially for you, so it would relay your supposedly end-to-end-encrypted data somewhere else? And that it does not have the ability to access your phone and do anything they want with it? Installing software remotely, installing trackers remotely, remotely accessing information stored in your apps?

This strikes me as intellectually lazy and self indulgent. "This is the same group who..." arguments are weak if only because you haven't established that all members of this group are members of that group. I'd wager there are a great many people who oppose vaccine mandates because they worry about the precedent, or they worry about the risks, but don't also hate compassion. I'd also challenge your assertion that we shouldn't feel compassion for people who don't believe in showing compassion but I know that's a bit more controversial. "Love thy enemies" is not so popular these days.

I think you and the author are both right.

Given infinite time, would a company want to replace their build system and OS with something better?

I think the answer is yes. Just look at Google: they implemented their own build system (Blaze/Bazel), they implemented their own Linux distro (Chrome OS plus their internal distro), and they're implementing their own OS (Fuschia).

So you could say that once Fuschia is implemented, Google's code has no [external] dependencies, which is what I believe the author is getting at.

Now, most companies won't get that far, but they may be submitting kernel patches for their servers, which means they are pseudo-writing their own OS, and they may have custom build systems. It all depends on how much effort they put in and whether they need those particular things.

Also, if a piece of software is written such that it is portable to all OS's, and perhaps even runnable on bare metal, I wouldn't say that the OS is a dependency; it's more an optional dependency, if that. I've written software like that, and while it is hard, it is possible, and it's more likely to be done the more effort is spent on the software. So I think the author's thesis still holds for the OS.

I'm also writing my own build system because I hate CMake, and that is the only viable cross-platform option right now.

In other words, yes, you are right in practice. But I think you being right does not mean the author isn't right either.

It is obvious that the author is referring to the sort of technology that Drexler and company were positing - a technology explicitly claimed to be so unlike anything then- (and now) realized that it would be radically transformative. At the time of writing, nothing even approaching a proof-of-concept existed (DMD devices certainly are not that), and this has not changed in the decade+ since.

You can, of course, suppose that the author has overlooked something, but there are others who have equally - and perhaps more carefully, by your standard - made the same points, such as Richard Smalley, who is quoted here.

This is shifting the goal posts.

The original claim was that it posed a direct actionable threat to someone's personal safety. This claim was not substantiated. Now you're shifting it to, "unflattering words are a form of violence."
It's an interesting publication, and a necessary one. However, there are a couple of thoughts to keep in mind:

1. The confidence intervals for the risk differences are wide, and some categories include negative numbers. This means that perhaps the vaccines were protective (?) against these other outcomes, but overall the trend based on this analysis is the vaccines were associated with increased risk of these other bad outcomes.

2. Capturing and reporting SAEs in the study designs are sensitive but not specific (i.e. they try to capture everything and aren't particularly concerned with verifying the cause of the SAE). For example, in the Pfizer study, they captured data related to any SAE from the start of consent to 6 months after the last dose of trial vaccine [1]. That is a long time for typical medical problems to crop up. I would like to know a comparison between the intervention group and the estimated rates of such illnesses for an age-matched population.

3. In this study they looked at all SAEs as compared to any SAE (which is what the FDA did). I don't want to discredit they study in any way and it is a valid analysis. However, it is important to keep in mind that when someone becomes ill, injury to one organ system can cause downstream injury to a second (for example a heart attack reduces cardiac output, which causes kidney injury). One way to explain the findings here is that the vaccine triggered more secondary, unintended, bad outcomes. Another way to explain the data is that a small number of people became very ill in the peri-vaccination period and had a lot of bad stuff happen. Also keep in mind from point 2 that the time period for collecting SAEs was from consent to 6 months after the last dose of vaccine.

The data presented here is interesting, and it's possible that the vaccines could be more harmful than initially thought. Overall, I am skeptical. The numbers here are still very low compared to the total number of people in the trial. If patient level data is released and there is more meat to the findings here it might change how I think about vaccination, but at this point I wouldn't change.

Came here to point this out. I've seen many cash flow positive strong businesses end up in the hands of VCs by raising money. Remember that when you raise money and you don't hit "KPI" or any goalpost that can be manipulated and moved, you are gambling.

In the age of cheap capital, this might have been an attainable goal: Raise money, pump valuation and dump on retail. If not, get acquired by another startup unicorn. That is no longer the case. Many startups are going to run out of capital and not only is IPO out of the picture in 2023 and beyond, the "failacquired" is just going to be straight up "shut down" when they can't find buyers.

I saw this happening heading towards 2018 briefly and I am seeing even more number of desperate startup founders who turned their cash positive business into a cash negative by raising money.

It always puzzled me why startups were being told to lose money to grow quickly and its made me uneasy knowing that when the tide goes out, it does so rapidly.
Raising money doesn't indicate success.
