It’s a huge distinction. There is a massive difference between dying because of Covid vs. dying from something else and happening to test positive. By combining them together, Covid looks worse than it is. Then politicians use that faulty data to make bad decisions and the media publishes that bad data and freaks the shit out of people.

One cannot claim to be on team “science and data” when their data is a garbage heap. Being able to tell between “hospitalized because of Covid” and “died because of Covid” vs “hospitalized and tested positive” and “died and tested positive” is an incredibly important thing.

I have no idea why people continue to dismiss this other than fears of people “not taking Covid serious” because… well it might not be as serious as the trash data suggests. It’s completely manipulative, a common theme from “the experts”

You cannot in good faith claim to be “following the data” and accept commingling “from” and “with”.

Without any shred of evidence? Lmao. Lets start with the privacy policy [1]

"We may also use content posted in public spaces to help power features like Server Discovery and to help us identify harmful content on the services."

So they monitor all chat for badthink.

"We collect information about the device you are using to access the services. This includes information like your IP address, operating system information, browser information, and information about your device settings, such as your microphone and/or camera."

Inappropriate access to hardware and private information.

"We may collect or share personal data if we think someone’s life is in danger—for example, to help resolve an urgent medical situation."

So not only do they monitor chat they monitor it for someone's life being in danger. Not sure how this is their responsibility.

> We may share information in response to a request for information if we believe disclosure is required by law, including meeting national security or law enforcement requirements

Say something 2 years ago that is logged forever and law enforcement goes on a fishing expedition when the party in power thinks its wrongthink.

> We retain personal information for as long as it is needed for the purposes for which we collected it.

Information is never deleted.

There's even more in the privacy policy but I'm not going to keep rooting around in it to prove my point that you're wrong.

Funding [2]

Discord has taken funding from Tencent which means they're liable to the CCP. Moreover, the list of funders includes large companies known for suing/taking legal action against users historically. Sony, for example.

Moreover EVERYTHING YOU DO including interacting on unrelated websites that support discord goes to them. They MINE YOUR DATA and you have no control over it.

Your argument my claims are gradiose is false on its face. I assume you're a paid shill. Discord is spyware by any other name. Maybe you're willing to accept the risks but most people use it ignorant of the fact they are as bad as Facebook when it comes to spying.

The article isn't about the harm caused by failing to adopt the Great Barrington Declaration.

Its assertion is that the government was meeting with companies in an effort to get them to suppress the Great Barrington Declaration and other views that didn't support the government's plan of action. This is both illegal and bad for public discourse and truth-seeking.

When the government gets to rule on truth and falsehood we then become unable to pick apart government-approved facts. Galileo's heresy trials, nearly 400 years ago, illustrate this problem.
It had pretty good hardware I would say for the tradeoffs involved. One thing you should remember is that 30 years ago, the current semiconductor processes meant that if you put a faster/more capable CPU or color display tech in it, it would not last very long on batteries. The HP48 had phenomenal battery life on 4 AAA. A hand held gaming system like a game gear or Atari Lynx would last only a few hours on 6 AAs.
Option and Result types are as easily coded in C++.

The former is in the Standard C++ library. The latter will be in the next, but anyway the one in Boost has worked fine forever.

Throwing, instead, is a choice unavailable to Rust coders, so you often have no alternative but to return these more complicated things that users are then obliged to unpack. A standard macro makes that easier, and is semantically equivalent to throwing, but imposes substantial overhead on successful calls.
I would love to get this done quick. Do you have a link to something usable?
Some time back there was definitely a loud "denier" voice, but I think this is gone from all but the fringe.

The disagreement today isn't about the science, but about policy - what should be done about it, what's the cost/benefit analysis, and so forth. There's a sizable faction that wants to avoid this conversation by yelling about "Science(tm)!", which cuts off the actual policy discussion before it can get started.

Zeroing memory takes longer than doing nothing.

Though some chips optimize zeroing memory. For example Intel does, perhaps Apple does as well?

Yes. Everybody has heard of this story. It comes from a time when the way that scientific research was identified, shared, and evaluated was entirely different both at a structural and individual level. It is also famous as shit in part because the story is so dramatic and unusual. I do not believe that it is in any way indicative that revolutionary research which demonstrated that CO2 emissions can be massively increased without generating meaningful planet-scale warming would be made inaccessible.

ExxonMobil would be shouting it from the tops of the hills at every second of every day. The GOP would hold nonstop hearings for these researchers to present their work over and over and over. And I'm telling you that existing atmospheric science faculty would weep with joy over this news.
Again, I'm not qualified to get at the nuance so I defer to you if you're in the industry.

> No. If you subspecialize

Sure. I agree that you need a singular board for a terminal specialty and potentially interstitial boards along the way.

> Yes, probably when talking to non doctors to keep it simple. But everyone inside usually just says specifically Step 1, Step 2 etc or USMLE.

Again, I'm not in the field, but see a lot of references on the web using "boards" language. From a quick google search "USMLE called steps or boards", I get a test prep site [0]. I'm assuming this is a matter of "precise v. common" usage.

Short URLs are nice for some things. QR codes for example work better the shorter a URL is.

Nothing's wrong with normal URLs. Every post on my website can be reached by a single decimal number appended to the end of the domain.

But this requires every website on the internet to care about having URLs of reasonable length. URL shorteners allow a third party to put a bandaid over the problem.
This article is about highly credentialed and respected scientific exists who were being deplatformed: not whackos. How can you judge anyone as "whacko" when you're prevented from even hearing opposing data? That's not how science works.
> I'd be interested in hearing more about how corporations influenced anti-lockdown

About a year ago in my city, in a period of relative stability during the pandemic, the previous mayor made the mistake of saying he would lock down again if necessary. Business owners more or less told all their employees they'd lose their jobs if there was another lockdown. The result was someone else was elected.
His humor goes over my head sometimes but he does such a good job of making it just digestible enough for the lay-person like me. Well done!
Imagine the Internet didn't exist. Would there have been more of a discussion of fringe views or less? What would the outcome have been on COVID deaths?
> The stated goal of lockdowns was exactly the same, to reduce total harm.

I disagree. Lockdowns were targeted, "naive" harm reduction: the harm directly caused by the virus itself. It just implicitly assumed that the harm from the virus simply had to outweigh any other possible sources of harm, and/or that other sources of harm could just be mitigated, but we had literally no reason to be certain of that at the time, and in retrospect that seems to be false.

The GBD was specifically couched in terms of total harm reduction, calling for us to account for economic, mental health, delayed treatment, and other harms caused by "naive" harm reduction policies, like lockdowns. This is the argument that doesn't really change even if herd immunity is taken off of the table. This exact argument is the opening sentences of the GBD, so that's the central thesis, and removing herd immunity doesn't change this argument.

Edit: to be clear, obviously removing herd immunity changes the threshold where harms prevented by oppressive policies are outweighed by the harms caused by those policies, but it doesn't change the existence of this threshold. Infection still provides protection, even if it doesn't convey immunity, so the GBD could still be true even if you remove all references to herd immunity.
I dont know if this is valid, but i intentionally showed it to my kids super young hoping to normalize it so they wouldnt be afraid if it (they love it now).

> As long as Apple's allocator continues to zero freed memory, programs accidentally depending on that behavior will only be a problem for other operating systems.

As I mentioned, only until that freed block is reused for a new allocation, which means it will no longer be all-zeros; or until the memory allocator decides it's time to unmap that region, which means it will trap (SIGSEGV or similar).
Decipad has its own custom formula language geared towards our use cases (we’ve been testing the language with a small group). Right now, to share a notebook, you can generate a secret link. You don’t need to sign-up to view/read a notebook that someone shares. Here is a model on interest rates- https://alpha.decipad.com/n/Rising-interest-rates-and-AAPL-s... You should be able to view it. Are there any use cases you are thinking of?

We plan to make our documentation publicly available soon. Right now, we are focusing on enabling certain use cases.

It’s all fun and games until you find the need to unsafe Rust, which opens up a bunch of eldritch monstrosities that are sometimes even harder to tame than C++.

The happiness people get from Rust was achieved by the incredibly hard work of library developers who had to deal with all sorts of complex semantics under the hood to make safe Rust safe. The knowledge gap between library user and library writer is even worse than C++, where most people do not feel comfortable enough to actually write low-level libraries (custom data structures, bindings from C, optimized routines) in Rust.

(At least PL people are inventing things like stacked borrows to make writing unsafe Rust easier… but it’s still not easy.)

If iOS had versioned libraries and separate teams maintaining the older branches, would that really impede the modern toolkit? I realize that expanding the scope of a project by adding more developers isn't as simple as it seems, but I feel like there ought to be an organizational/development structure that could make this work.

I wouldn't even be opposed to older apps running in some sort of seamless-to-the-user virtual machine.
Yes I agree it's an Apple-specific issue, and not relevant for what I care about in Guix / Nix

(Although Oil will obviously run on OS X because it uses plain libc from source, as is officially supported)

Cosmopolitan libc does seem interesting, because a shell basically only depends on libc.

It would be interesting to get Oil to run like that, on platforms where fork() is supported (not bare metal I assume).

Would it work on Windows? How do they do fork() emulation? I think that's very hard on Windows

Oh yeah it looks like it's slow on Windows (and OpenBSD)

Why? Mail-in voting is hardly unique to the US; what made you suspicious?
Boom unfortunately does not have the range to make it transpacific nonstop either. Which is kind of a shame because 10+ hour Asia-NA flights would be a great nut to crack in terms of halving travel times.
It's acting in good faith insofar as it does care about establishing transparent markets (and also protecting citizen privacy). It's fortunate (at least for itself) that these ambitions are entirely consistent with political expediency - which means they can pursue them without reserve.

If an EU company did similar it might not be hit so hard (which would be hypocritical). But that doesn't make this action (a fine for obviously anticompetitive action) in bad faith, so much as it would make the other (lack of fine) so.
It's not like ordinary people were running their own mail servers or other p2p tech in the pre-Big-Tech days, nor would it have been considerably harder for the government to disrupt email traffic than it is for them to block Facebook/etc. This isn't a pro-Big-Tech or pro-centralization message, only that we never actually lived in a golden age of ubiquitous decentralized communication that was robust against state actor censorship.
See, I assumed they meant the >> operator. That used to (long ago) be cause for grief in e.g. std::vector<std::vector<int>> where the parser would see a >> operator instead of two closing angle brackets (since fixed by changing the grammar).
To be very explicit, the "...rely" is me being facetious, I'm not really implying anyone actually relies on use after free! More like they lucked out on not catching it and shipped it anyway, hence the "rely" bit.

Those links connect cold with the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome not the cause of it.

Are you saying it increases the risk of injury or just pain?
Not the poster, but it’s fairly easy to accidentally do the equivalent of

free(f);
f->close();

in code that does a few malloc, if/else’s, etc. between those calls. Stuff like that gets hard to spot in more complex code, especially in the presence of C++ copy constructors, move constructors, etc, where the compiler helpfully inserts that call to free for you.

Bugs in copy constructors also can lead to double frees when the destructors of an object and its copy both call delete on a pointer that they think they exclusively own. Between those two destructor calls, you can easily get a use after free. Example: https://stackoverflow.com/a/64014035

If the allocator doesn’t change the content of freed blocks, such bugs can go unnoticed, making the program “accidentally depend on freeing memory not immediately overwriting it”.
There have been several cases where we said "only (modern) humans do ____", and it turns out to be false, e.g., "make tools".

So if I have to guess... my guess would be, sure they did. They're just a variant of human.

If someone appears to never be busy but always delivers I’d give them a raise, not ask why they are slacking.

If someone looks like they are slacking (not busy( but I can’t tell if they are delivering enough, then the problem isn’t that they aren’t busy.
From what I understood, the trick is that, for a block which was returned by free() and later returned by calloc(), the former behavior was to zero within the calloc(), while the new behavior would be to zero within the free(). If there's a bug which writes to the memory after the free() but before the calloc(), the former behavior would mean it's still zeroed, but the new behavior would mean it ends up overwritten with something which isn't all-zeros.
I'm in the exact same boat as you. It's a whitelabel app that we have launched many times in the past on new Apple Developer accounts but we just randomly got hit with this. Our screen also said "Enable Location" or "Not now" but that wasn't satisfactory. If you look at the "Pre-alert screens" section of this HIG document [0] you will see even your way of doing it isn't allowed but with all things app review, it's a game of roulette if the reviewer notices/cares. I've run into this before where I set up 2 apps within days of each other, different accounts, same core base base, and one gets dinged in review and the other doesn't.

I've shipped new apps that didn't have the ability to delete user data well after Apple's deadline and some sneak through ("sneak" but I wasn't trying to sneak, I just forgot to add it to one of my apps, I quickly added it in the next update so I didn't run into a brick wall later if they noticed) and some are caught.

Or any other social institution for that matter: religion, newspapers, families, schools, sports, &c. Social institutions are fundamental or at the very least complicit in the legitimization of the social mechanisms of typification. That is to say, licensing the idea and practice that individual behavior can be simplified to types.

We all know the dangers of using oversimplified models in other contexts, but the same applies here and happens to be one of the largest generators of present conflict. It's a classic map-territory problem applied to people themselves and - whether the map makers know this or not - those who control the maps can sometimes also control the territory.
