System design, handling ambiguity, scope and impact are all things that are taught extremely well by just coding a lot. I'm not even sure why you are arguing. Someone who does something more and likes doing it in general will be better at it then someone who spends less time on it and doesn't like it.

“First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says ‘I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;’ who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a ‘more convenient season.’” - Martin Luther King Jr.

On the other hand, there are many reports that Leonardo himself lamented not finishing things, and wrote “Tell me if anything was ever done” in his notebooks.

(I don't know the full context of this—searching online suggests the original was "Dimmi se mai fu fatta alcuna cosa"—but as you yourself say, Leonardo was prone to perfectionism and starting far more than he could finish and had a reputation for disappointing patrons, which seems to fit well with the author's main point, even if the example of the horse doesn't.)

Simple answer: probably not.

Everything Trumpists were claiming - that the laptop contained evidence of the stolen election, that it contained Biden's child porn stash, evidence he created COVID with Fauci, whatever - was obvious misinformation and character assassination, an attempt to repeat the effect of the DNC leaks with Hillary Clinton in 2016, where just the implications of nefarious dealings and "smoking guns" were enough to suppress Democratic Party turnout, or split the vote.

The actual story, such as it was, was and remains the nothingest of nothingburgers, and it's doubtful many people, much less enough people to swing the election in Trump's favor, would have cared. Evidence to this effect can be observed in that, after the fact, it hasn't created a backlash of outrage among Democrats. They do hate Biden for a number of reasons, but not for anything in hindsight related to the laptop.

Plus, it's absurd to imply that Twitter and Facebook alone comprised the only sources of information or discussion about the laptop, and that Americans were unaware of the story for it having been censored on those platforms. Despite that, it never actually left public discussion as far as I was aware. The laptop failed to gain traction under its own terms, not because it was suppressed by the government.

Bitcoin doesn’t proactively disrupt centralization as much as it does so passively, by just existing. And arguably it has come a very far way by doing absolutely nothing other than that.

You are the one claiming that any money into nuclear funding detracts from funding of renewables. If that in fact is not an existential threat, then you should probably tone down your verbose vehemence to the former. If it is not an existential threat, then you are thundering against a non-issue.

You stop doing that.

> > They are the glue that gets buy-in and agreement between people talking past each other.

Not at a technical level it's not. If there are honest disagreements about technical direction, you need a strong technical voice and vision to break the logjam. That's not a management problem, although it certainly requires excellent soft skills (requisite for any good Staff+).

It takes both the soft skills and the technical knowledge to get consensus, or at the very least, consent.
Something that the software industry has to assimilate eventually is that unless your organization is very efficient, there's not a big difference between working for 6 or 10 hours a day.

Scrum / agile / whatever as understood by most companies does not prevent context switching, synchronous work that could be done asynchronously, and interruptions. When added together, those things shrink your team's capacity massively. I'm talking real capacity, not some magical number made up at some meeting.

Work could be relatively linear. The people who can make it happen just don't care or are clueless about it.

Slack is actually a terrible example of the phenomenon, because they had a messaging app as part of Office since 2007 with Microsoft Communicator. Slack only existed since 2013.

A much better example IMO is the Power Platform, which might end up being the default no-code/low-code solution for the enterprise simply by dint of being bundled. Though it's not a true bundling either - they charge extra for doing anything more than the basics, which might be enough to get them out of antitrust trouble.

Some quick thoughts.
This therapy uses a combination of methods that are already used in oncology. The usage of bacteria in oncology as part of immunotherapies has existed for decades via the use of BCG, although it is notably that these bacteria have genetic modifications to allow it to create a delivery vehicle as well. siRNAs have always been an attractive method but lacked proper delivery methods and initially had issues with degradation. The knockdown of DNA polymerases is new to me. Typically chemotherapeutics are anti-metabolites or seek to arrest mitosis (taxanes for example lock part of the cytoskeleton [microtubules] needed to move chromosomes). Targeting DNA polymerase makes fundamentally more sense because you would by and large avoid disrupting other cellular functions. Hopefully this represents another tool in the kit in regards to conjugate/combination therapies like Trastuzumab-deruxtecan.

Quick question: Based on this statements would these therapy work particularly well against metastatic disease given its moa for cell selectivity?

Are there any actual cases of government grants or investor capital being forced to decide between fusion and renewable startups? Or are you just assuming that this is a scenario that exists somewhere?

You have your belief in the clear way for energy production, that is fine; you have made yourself abundantly and repeatedly clear. But this whole idea of a zero-sum game between nuclear and renewables seems to be based on pure assumption.

I don't think Altman would've backed solar if not for Helion; those who are pursuing fusion startups are self-selecting for the latter, and wouldn't have backed renewables anyway.

I'm pretty sure this was me when I was at that level of engineering seniority, but the reality was that it was a frustrating position to be in, because you're operating outside the expectations of an engineering role.

So this topic is rather new to me, in particular about this Dr. Robert Malone. That being said, it seems to me that you are far more sure about their incompetence than you should be.

I would assume the quotes are not fabricated.
I'm also looking at corporate journalism and wondering why I should trust the messages in the articles it produces.
This excerpt appears to be a pretty good example of exactly why I should not trust it.

> In a video circulating widely on social media, Dr. Robert Malone, a frequent critic of COVID-19 vaccines who once researched mRNA vaccine technology, made the claim that the vaccines are “damaging T cell responses” and “causing a form of AIDS.”

The emphasis is on the part of that sentence that is supposed to prime the reader to start thinking from a certain perspective. (This person is against COVID vaccines and you're not supposed to like that.) The quotes in that particular sentence are also very likely cherry-picked out of their original context just looking at how they are fragments of a sentence interpolated into the author's thoughts.

> “People think, when they hear AIDS, they hear HIV. No, the vaccines aren’t causing you to be infected with the HIV virus,” said Malone, during a taped interview with a website that focuses on COVID-19. “They are causing a form of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, that’s what AIDS stands for.”

This is the presentation of the doctor that is most fair.
The quotes are full sentences, and it's notable that the meaning here is not disagreeable.

> In the interview, published April 1, Malone claimed that “lots of scientific data” support his claim, but cited no evidence. The claims are unfounded.

This quotes only the subject (either direct or indirect; we've lost that context) from a complete thought and attempts to suggest that it is ridiculous to believe their completion of the thought.

Anyway, maybe it comes across that I believe everything Dr. Malone has to say but I wasn't kidding when I said this topic is new to me.
This excerpt of someone's opinion does a very poor job of convincing me that I should agree with the opinion.
I do think it does a good job of priming readers to think a certain way but I don't consider that to be a virtue in journalism.
Yeah, that's why I said

Lawyers, especially highly paid giant-tech-firm representing lawyers, tend to play by the rules when it comes to the actual court process itself. Could they pass all this confidential information on to Mark? Absolutely, trivially so even. Would it be a crime to do so? Absolutely also that. Are they going to risk their firm for a client? No lawyer playing at the level of Meta or Apple would be that stupid.

When it comes to lawyers, you get what you pay for, and Meta pays a lot for excellent lawyers who make sure they do everything by the book and follow the letter of the law where possible, and the spirit of the law where it can be defended if it needs to be, in order to get cases thrown out or settled before they make it to actual trial.

Most cases die in discovery, exactly because the lawyers (and only the lawyers) get to see everyone's cards, and get to say "look we can go to trial, but we've both seen all the documents, and it's plainly clear that one of us is right".

"But they can air all that dirty laundry during trial!" no, they can't, because unless that dirty laundry is necessary to demonstrate competition, which would be stupidly unlikely, you don't just get to reveal every document that your legal team has access to just because you feel like it. Doing so can get you removed from trial, sanctioned, or even disbarred, depending on how severe the impact of your misconduct is. The current issue is about discovery: you and your team (and NOT your client) get to find the information you need by sifting through thousands of documents.

This is great news. Such hardening can already be compiled in C code, and is even shipping in some projects, e.g. the Linux kernel has a CONFIG_UBSAN option which activates compiler sanitizers for things like array bounds checks that will panic on failure. Makes sense to extend similar behaviour to projects based on C++ codebases.

> even though the Snowden revelations were a "scandal", nothing bad really happened to the perpetrators

This is true, and bad, but consider another difference in this situation:

In the US, companies were able to respond to this revelation by shoring up their security practices, and people exercised their right to openly criticize the government. This is not possible in China.

Well yeah, it's a privately held company. They can choose to host whoever they want, and kick off whichever messages they disagree with. That's what everyone agreed to when they click the big blue button on the EULA.

With that in mind, Twitter's moderation is actually pretty lax compared to how tyrannical they could be while getting away with it. Putting Musk in the driver's seat doesn't really mitigate Twitter's moderation pressure.
I disagree. If your political stance causes different behaviors then its not a comparable population on all factors.

Wizards of the Coast has really been pumping the gas on MTG recently. Something like half the cards ever printed have been printed in the last five years. Tons of crossovers, limited editions, and luxury products. There used to be a steady cadence of releases. Cards would be previewed for the next set over a month about once a quarter. Now there seems to be a continual firehose of spoilers for new sets. You can open MTG news on any given day, and often see a new car previewed for yet another upcoming set.

On one hand, sounds like good business. More content of players that is consumable by a larger player base, and more money for Wizards. But they do seem to be burning through some player goodwill.
