> There's debate though if far-infrared was worth it though.

I don't think there's debate about whether the far-infrared is valuable. The far-infrared has unique diagnostic power for some astrophysical phenomena, and the 2020 Decadal Survey for Astronomy specifically called for the far-infrared to be considered for a $1B "probe-class" mission. What was debated was the specific role and cost of SOFIA.
It's tricky. At a population scale it looks more and more like early detection for many things causes more harm than good. On the other hand, if you're the person who could have had a better outcome with early detection it's hard to argue that point.
Most criminals are kind of stupid though - at least the ones who commit crimes that don’t involve some form of financial gain. Note: this is the belief among criminals themselves.

I mean the convergence of beliefs across a bunch of religions and moral philosophies is probably pretty good evidence. They were not exactly running randomized controlled trials; but they were smart people who thought a lot about this stuff. I’m not sure that the methods of modern behavioral science are so much more advanced :)

Otherwise this is just like one of those “obvious”, self evident things (i.e. obvious to some not to others). I do concede that there are a subset of jerks who have Dunning Kruger syndrome as well as a small number of true sociopaths out there.

Too long and too verbose and too ordinary for such an critical warning. The title "You have been logged on with a temporary profile." is so unoffencive that doesn't really make you read the paragraph explaining what it means. It sounds like something that you can deal with later, it should be "All files will be deleted upon sign out" and then you can read and learn that this is a temporary profile.

Windows likes to tell stuff of no urgency all the time and people will close those click. click. click.

IMHO when the computer is used in extraordinary situation the UI should be making it very clear. Probably all kind of customisation should be removed so the user feel like in wrong place and has high alertness. When moving files into folders that will be deleted the user should be warned with a short and scary message(macOS warns you that the files will be deleted from the cloud if you move files out of iCloud synced folders like Desktop and Documents).
If you require 100% compliance in an endeavor, count on it failing.
Typescript as a language isn't too bad but the ecosystem is an absolute dumpster fire. NPM is terribly fragmented, costs a fortune in effort to maintain dependencies, security updates etc... Every Typescript/JS project I work on is full of a dangerous amount of third party dependencies - it can be hundreds if not thousands in a single repo - many of them fragile in their own special way. Language packages management is hard - but it seems especially hard with TS/JS.
And that "what you want to see" isn't a way to explain in our minds the reality of the world in which we remember projections of our memories, some sort of compressed version.

Flow has structural typing on types and nominal on classes with correct inheritance semantics, which simply makes sense.

For making Email type distinct from string, you want opaque type (first class in flow) which you can emulate as tagged type in ts.

> That’s great when you have a choice, but when you’re a call center worker you have a low likelihood of having so much choice and autonomy over your not-quite-white-collar life. As far as a call worker goes, the inability to easily commiserate with coworkers on shitty calls, even between calls, I’m certain will lead to higher attrition and lower happiness. Humans need social support.

I'm in no position to have an opinion, but our development team constantly depends upon call center guys to pass the request related to bugs, and last week they had a meeting with the senior leaders to push for work from home.
I once noticed a similar state machine in a restaurant I used to patronize.

Instead of taking table numbers, they would bring toothpicks when coming to ask if everything is Ok.

The way I upset the system was to hide the toothpicks. The waiter passed by a few minutes later, scanned the table as they walked, then suddenly stopped, took a good look at the table, seemed to be thinking and trying to remember, "didn't I already give them toothpicks? I guess not" they must have thought to themselves as they rushed off. Not a minute later they came back, put toothpicks on the table and asked if everything was OK, still with a somewhat confused expression on their face.

But then* they went home that night, already decided that they can't make such a mistake again. For the next two decades they researched memory, neurology, AI, computer vision, machine-human interfaces, and everything else they needed - in order to install a chip in their head that will always know if they had already put the toothpicks or not. After 23 years of work, they went back to weighting on tables, with the chip in their head, satisfied that they had done alright, at least as much as the customers with the service.

There's no doubt that that quote was the talk of the IT world back then. It did the rounds in magazines and news outlets for ages and I cannot recall any of those articles doubting that Gates actually said it.

It was also wheeled out later in computer mags often as mocking comment when the '386 came out as by then PCs had 4MB RAM.

Doubt about the quote's origins only arose about a decade later after Gates denied saying it. I'm now racking my brain trying to remember which magazine cemented the idea that Gates was responsible. I already knew about the quote but this was a big splash and it had a photo of Gates and cohorts on a podium (product launch) at or near the top of the article. Could have been PC Magazine or possibly InfoWorld but I really can't remember.

I'd not really given the matter much thought until now but it does seem strange that doubt still persists (or that it does at all) given the widespread attention news reports paid to it at the time.
>then the game is every 10 or so years we will go through this cycle of land grabs by Russia

This isn't obviously true. Different regions will be valued differently by Russia in terms of control. It is clear that Ukraine is of supreme importance to Putin in terms of geography and cultural ties. If we raise the cost of victory in Ukraine to the point where that cost is higher than the anticipated benefit of occupying the next state, it is possible to prevent any further expansion. I believe we are well past that point in Ukraine. The assumption that any victory in Ukraine for Putin will inevitably result in further expansive attempts is a convenient narrative but doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

>Where and when will it stop?

If nothing else it stops at NATO's border. The fact is, the stability we've seen over the last 30 years is entirely due to the unquestioned dominance of the U.S. in the international sphere and the relative weakness of the next powerful nations. That era is coming to an end. If the current borders are unstable in light of current international power dynamics, they should not be defended at the threat of world war 3. The question is whether the U.S. can come to accept a world order not entirely driven by U.S. interests without fighting a world war over it.
For small enough values of defect, it is par for the course.

I have a folder on my computer called "Graduate School". Inside are subfolders for each of the classes I'm taking. Inside these and further subfolders are files such as:

• Videos I need to watch for class.

• PDFs I need to read for class.

• Word documents I am writing for class.

• Photos, videos, and audio recordings I will use to write papers for class.

The "iOS model" would have me segment all of this data by file type. The PDF from New York State on K-12 educational standards would be next to my 2021 tax returns. My paper on single-sex schools would be next to the technical documentation for a web app I'm developing. This would be terrible.

Files need to be organized by purpose, not file type. I know what my files are for. My computer does not.

This is also a major reason why I hate my iPhone.

Ummm... No. See my previous comment - at least in Rails, the queries aren't part of the data object themselves, but are instead mixins or default handlers (don't recall which offhand), so it's really just syntactic sugar that makes it appear as though they are methods on the data class.

Even if they did the same thing you're suggesting, by that logic, we should all use PHP because WordPress does, and it's probably more popular than those two combined.

Take a look at something like Spring or Entity Framework to see other takes on ORM patterns.

And again, you're trying to argue against ORMs, while citing that your suggested alternative is supported by the way ORMs do it.

Perhaps.. but part of the reason plants "lack efficiency" compared to our solid state electronics is that they need respiration to exchange input and output products with the environment and the entire plant needs to be laid out in such a way that it can maintain a root structure while being advantaged with respect to competing vegetation.

The two problem spaces are similar in that they use light, but exceptionally different in almost every other respect.

Another one is to put yourself in the user's shoes and then lean in to your own laziness in order to come up with a UI that will delight the average user.

Also, in the beginning don't worry too much about the difficulty of implementing your ideas. You won't come up with anything new if you are always thinking "that's too hard" or "that will take too long." You can always scale back your ambition at a later time, but it's important to be excited about your ideas.

There are a few sites that follow this philosophy:

> maybe other jobs aren't paying as well or you don't have time to shop around

Sure, but there's a lot of distance between "I would have to take a pay cut" or "interviewing is time-consuming"(?) and "I have to do this or my family will starve to death". If that seems like a high bar to pass, that's the one that you set.

I'm not necessarily criticising people's choice to work for Google. I'm definitely not saying that every Googler should quit immediately. What I am saying is that there are people out there legitimately doing jobs because the only other option is their family going hungry. Silicon Valley software engineers are not in that category.

> It's a pretty good oen

But if we're talking about journalists' ability to protect the information and identity of their confidential sources (again, a bar that you set), of all the options available, Gmail is not a pretty good one. And if you are dealing with information whose security can affect people's lives and livelihoods, then "pretty good" isn't the sort of standard you should be working towards anyway.
Not a workable idea, but a good sci-fi plot: get the major powers to give up their nukes. create a single, tiny nation, a nuclear Vatican, populated by citizens from all former nuclear powers. give them a number of ICBMs. have them nuke whoever else develops the tech.
Makes me think of this[1].

I guess a bit like in the spy movies where American spies were free to roam everywhere, the superpower status (i.e. money and market access) of China means they get to swing their police truncheon around and most countries just stay quiet about it.

And they were even watching Xinjiang activists outside of China (Source [2]):

> [...] one of the officers shoved a photo under my nose. It was my daughter Gulhumar. She was posing in front of the Place du Trocadéro in Paris, bundled up in her black coat, the one I’d given her. In the photo, she was smiling, a miniature East Turkestan flag in her hand, a flag the Chinese government had banned. To Uighurs, that flag symbolises the region’s independence movement. The occasion was one of the demonstrations organised by the French branch of the World Uighur Congress, which represents Uighurs in exile and speaks out against Chinese repression in Xinjiang.

The drily-written post only talks about telecommunications fraud. Is that a big deal in China, are they doing something like Nigerian 419 scams? I suppose they'd be targeting mostly Chinese citizens, using e.g. WeChat, although that's probably a bad idea because how much do you want to bet WeChat can report home the user's GPS coordinates or even just their IP would be enough for country geo-locating.

From that article:
> Since a dirty bomb is unlikely to cause many deaths by radiation exposure, many do not consider this to be a weapon of mass destruction.[2] Its purpose would presumably be to create psychological, not physical, harm through ignorance, mass panic, and terror. For this reason dirty bombs are sometimes called "weapons of mass disruption". Additionally, containment and decontamination of thousands of victims, as well as decontamination of the affected area might require considerable time and expense, rendering areas partly unusable and causing economic damage

Since that paragraph is talking about detonation over a populated area, 3k miles away even in the atmosphere I would think wouldn't cause much of an actual harm.

But a solution might be to enrich the radioactive material in a space station in orbit.
The idea is still in progress and I'm open to discussion.
I am also still using it and haven't run into any issues so far. But it is unmaintained for quite some time now last I checked so I assume that eventually it will just stop working.

It's quite nice though. I have it set to disable any and all third party resources by default and from there it's generally fairly easy to permit the necessary things the first time I visit a site. And if it proves to be difficult I generally just decline to use that website at all.
What he is doing is exactly what's proscribed in the UN Charter, and was argued to be the supreme international crime by a Soviet jurist at the Nuremberg trials: a war of aggression, intended to expand border or subjugate people. If Ukraine wins, there might be a nuclear detonation. If Ukraine backs down, it will be exterminated.

It's better to have tried to stop this tyranny and die anyway, than to see it succeed and spread. This is blackmail. The world needs to categorically reject it. Importantly this means China and India need to reject this path.

Ukraine has a right to exist, to free its people and territory. That Russia considers this so terrible that it's threatening to use nukes proves it cannot responsibly be a nuclear power. Free nations can't survive if it rolls over to this blackmail. Russia will come for more, having been shown the world will cower and give them whatever they want.
