> A ragtag coalition of public-health activists believe that America’s pandemic restrictions are too lax—and they say they have the science to prove it.

The tagline of this article.

I wonder, first of all, do those who advocate for more/continued restrictions recognize that there are tradeoffs to be considered?

And if there are tradeoffs, isn't that a political question?

Where does this weird assumption that political propositions can be "proved" objectively by "science" come from?
Deluded? Or could it be that customers value economy over predictability?

Yep. First time I’ve seen anything like that on GitHub.
I looked at the Solana ecosystem when people started claiming its strong performance and scalability aspects. It was remarkable how difficult it was to find the identities of actual people behind Solana, Phantom, Serum etc, even though Solana is a VC-funded chain. Personally, I would never put money in any project where the team does not even put their identity & reputation at risk. But in those times, lots of people did exactly that.

The omega might be. But not wuhan and delta which still with china. The question so whether omega has a chance to win the war behind the collapse. I am anti-communist china but not anti-human. Sad they even tried to use that to argue again the white paper movement, instead of inappropriate action last few years - starting from let people fly out form wuhan and killing Italian in the first stop, among others.

Will jan 8 not just an issue in china as they let out chinese to the world (like via Hong Kong etc) … btw.
Twitter’s website is glitching out around the world
Can confirm it appears there have been no tweets ever (all accounts say they haven't tweeted and I have no home page) in SF. I feel genuine sadness for those in Twitter HQ being messaged by Musk to fix this.
NYC’s design temp is like 17F or something, so the seasonal average COP is probably above 3 for good cold climate heat pumps.
Interesting concept. However both of these examples are apps that probably appear in millions of tutorial articles on react and redux. I would be curious to see how it performs on a more unique or complex application request, even the bill pay example you list in your concept.

That doesn't make sense to not consider other factors.

Tesla went up 40x but other car companies went up 2x at best.

Tesla was overvalued like other tech companies. It is actually the most overvalued tech stock. It going down like other tech stocks seems sensible. Going up a lot -> going down a lot.

Also, I provided an example how musk's erratic behaviour didn't impact stock price.

But you didn't actually provide any comparable example. You just kinda declared that musk's behaviour impacted stock price...
This is basically worst case scenario. Something lots of people have predicted for the last 10+ years.

Kudos to the person that found the bug.

Kudos to Google for not being the slimy people we expect them to be and actually paid some money.

An exploit like this is worth millions on the black market. The mere chance that a target has a Google smart speaker in their home that can be exploited with this is worth millions. Not every target needs a Google smart speaker for it to be valuable. Only one makes it worth millions, because that target is probably important.

What happens under those circumstances is they barter. Barter is inefficient, but it's better than nothing.
If you think about it, a trinary bit is much less information than another sound would be. It's really quite easy to remember, but english minds seem to exclude articles from making it into memory, since they are usually not necessary. Change your mindset to include the articles as part of the word.

There's a bunch of easy sound patterns that will make a German guess the right gender of a new word 99% of the time, like -er being masculine or -nis neuter. You can look them up, but it's much easier to form that intuition by learning vocab the right way.
But if you actually read Shakespeare, this is nothing like it. Every example I have seen of someone trying to make ChatGPT sound like Shakespeare, it just spits out this generic puff not anything like Shakespeare. Whether you thin Shakespeare is good or not doesn’t, it doesn’t match anything similar to the complexity, word choice, or rhythm of the prose.
> It's safe to assume that by now they take this kind of implicit feedback, but it either takes a long time to be processed or it's not happening on time-restricted left turns..

I wouldn't count on that. I've been exiting a Costco for years now where Google Maps tells you to take an impossible left turn due to a divided road. Google should have a mountain of data showing those directions are never, ever, taken. Street view shows it to be impossible too.

If they are actually looking at that type of data they aren't doing much with it.

> working a job is very different than doing "the same" activity as a hobby.

This is very true. I've been fortunate enough to be able to take a break from working. For a while after quitting my 9-5, I didn't want to touch code at all (hooray burnout). But after a while I started working on my own projects, and have gotten involved in open source again. I'm not doing 40 hours of OSS work per week, but it's much more than I'd be able to do with a full time job.

It's very different to get to work on whatever I want, whenever I want, however I want. "Working" like this feels completely different from working for an employer, even an employer that gives a large amount of autonomy.

Pick your poison:

1) Status Quo Capitalism: full employment in manual labor poverty-line jobs combined with personalized opiates of the masses (endless entertainment, outrage news/comments, actual medication, etc) to keep the proles looking at the dirt. Maybe a handful of trillionaires control everything, more likely AI actually does. Though if you can't tell, does it really matter? #GettingWarmer

2) Prohibition on AI: full employment at both physical and mental labor. Robotics may progress till most humans are doing knowledge work rather than physical labor. The prohibition may need to be religious in nature for it to stick, as power and greed are strong motivators. Decent likelihood of a nuclear apocalypse and/or police state along the golden path to the future. #ButlerianJihad

3) Automated Utopia: zero employment with AI governing benevolently, handling most knowledge work while leaving enough for people to still feel their contributions are valuable, much as a parent praises a child's efforts and the child is proud. Robotics and automation will eventually free humans from manual labor, though some people still make things by hand as a hobby. In this post-scarcity society, people compete over the one thing that's still finite: social status. Unless the AI benevolently gives everyone 100M "real" followers. (I mean, how could you possibly verify it?) The AI may realize it can be maximally benevolent and efficient by crafting perfect virtual worlds for everyone to safely and permanently inhabit with all their followers. #TheMatrix
Read again. The topic of this thread is “why do things have value”.
> In the event you arrive at the airport without valid identification, because it is lost or at home, you may still be allowed to fly. The TSA officer may ask you to complete an identity verification process which includes collecting information such as your name, current address, and other personal information to confirm your identity. If your identity is confirmed, you will be allowed to enter the screening checkpoint. You will be subject to additional screening, to include a patdown and screening of carry-on property.

You will not be allowed to enter the security checkpoint if your identity cannot be confirmed, you choose to not provide proper identification or you decline to cooperate with the identity verification process.

^ From your TSA link above. You might possibly be able to fly if they can validate your identity by other means, which basically involves cross-referencing your existing identity documentation in their database. Otherwise, you can't fly.

Didn't we all know that boomers would retire after 2020 en mass? This was published by news outlets every few months in the last decade.

Headsup, social security is also going to get drained faster if said boomers live longer.

Wealth concentration among progeny/estates of boomers is also going to increase, exacerbating inequality.

Aging is rapid. Expecting 60 year olds to fill the labor force and do hard work is unrealistic. The number of able bodied boomers is even lesser than the numbers indicate.

A lot of things we take for granted in America just wouldn't function without the workers. E.g. If you expect to be able to talk to a human when your bags are misplaced by an airline, you won't find that human.

America really needs to reevaluate the amount of jobs that is just inefficient red tape and paperwork. Barring immigration (let's be realistic, America is not an immigrant-friendly nation), there is no way we will have enough workers. Those many children just don't exist in this country. We will have to learn to live with a lower quality of life where things break all the time and there is a shortage of skilled humans to take care of the complex systems we have built over decades.
This article is pure rubbish.

> If terrorists or child abusers or other criminals use the app, or one like it, to coordinate activities or share child sexual abuse imagery behind impenetrable closed doors, that’s a shame — but privacy is all that matters.

Using the classic "think of the children" and "OMG, terrorism!" arguments is always what these people use to scare people into accepting authoritarianism. So uncreative.

> One should always worry when a person or an organization places one value above all. [...] unwavering support of one principle to rule them all is morally dangerous.

This guy is just making stuff up. Does anyone actually think like this? He then providers the worst argument of all time:

> What’s more, the company’s proposition that if anyone has access to data, then many unauthorized people probably will have access to that data is false.

> There are some people who have access to the nuclear launch codes, but “Mission Impossible” movies aside, we’re not particularly worried about a slippery slope leading to lots of unauthorized people having access to those codes.

How does nuclear launch codes even compare to people's personal data? You have to get clearance and all kinds of things for that. Nothing like that exists for private companies holding your data. Has this genius not heard of the Twitter Files or the other countless examples of the government abusing its power?

> I am drawing attention to Signal, but there’s a bigger issue here: Small groups of technologists are developing and deploying applications of their technologies for explicitly ideological reasons, with those ideologies baked into the technologies.

He only wants large corporations being in control of technology so the government can more easily illegally spy on people. So ridiculous.

> But Signal embeds within itself a rather extreme conception of privacy

Privacy is now extreme?

> If one of the complaints about Big Tech and Big Government is that they are insufficiently accountable for their misdeeds, can we not levy the same critique against the technologists?

Because big government and big tech are the ones in power right now. They're the ones breaking the law. If you find out that "technologists" are breaking the law then go after them for real crimes instead of thought crimes. Stop punching down.

> They are a small group of people who govern these powerful tools, and they are not accountable in the way that, say, a democratically elected government is.

He's saying only elected officials should get to choose what software exists. And the Signal developers are accountable, they're accountable to the law.

> Whether law enforcement should tap our phones on the condition that a warrant is obtained is, at the very least, worthy of public discussion. Signal has unilaterally decided for us all.

This is so absurd. They made an app and didn't break any laws. We don't need public discussion for if you're allowed to make an app.

Law enforcement is still free to do they same things they were doing before. The can infiltrate groups just like they did before the modern era. I don't have to give up my freedom just to make their jobs easier.

Well I would ask the same/agree on both of these points.

I don't think there are many communist experiments that worked. I also agree that government is not always the solution, as it's just another actor and can be corrupted.

But I'd argue that the original thing I was looking for -- more varied people in positions of wealth/influence/power would help solve this... But it may not be solved in a way that the small government crowd would like necessarily.

Is the only reasonable state gridlock amongst equally powered proponents on either side? It's not always the case that the right answer is in the middle, of course, but on this issue it seems the passable solutions seem to be.

If "prompt engineering" is going to be a thing (that has value), getting a prompt close enough to produce the same results would be what most reverse-engineers would want. In fact, not-verbatim could have advantages since you might argue you aren't infringing copyright.

I didn't say if everyone locked their money away it would be good, just if billionaires did it. Alice and Bob would still buy clothes and food.

ETH/BTC reached 0.1515 in June 2017. This cycle it peaked at 0.08838 and it's currently at 0.07206.[1] If anyone in ETH multiplied their holdings by a number above 0.5, it had to be gambling on one of the small coins that has since crashed 95%+ (such as OP) and getting out before the music stopped. If you're chasing multiples, you can only end up lucky or burned. Slow and steady wins the race.

> How do you scan MACs without being on the network? Is it like Bluetooth, where everything is constantly broadcasting?

It's actually the opposite—WiFi broadcasts MAC addresses in the clear (although likely a random one per-network on modern devices) even with WPA, while BLE can use an Identity Resolving Key when it's not in active discovery mode. This way, a Random Resolvable Private Address can be created that only the paired device can decrypt and find the actual MAC address.
There is no free for all immigration.

It would be fine if there was. There would probably be a huge rush of people from South and Central America at first, but it isn't like every person everywhere is eager to give up their life to move thousands of miles to a different country. And then immigrants don't depress the economy (they fill jobs but also bring demand that creates more jobs...).

Batteries are probably beter, won't disagree there, but they probably aren't going to save weight.

Google says 100W panel is ~14 pounds, so in this case 800W / 112 lbs.

Assuming you're getting an average of 800W over 6 hours: 4.8kwh per day, or 9.6 kwh for a couple of days.

Using Tesla packs, 100kwh/1,300 lbs implies ~ 125 lbs. in batteries.

Not an obvious win just on weight.

Well, for starters, they don't actually think their junk science is junk science. If you're confident that you were right all along, and you nailed the "bad guy," you're going to sleep just fine. All of these people believe they're helping further the cause of justice; very few go to work thinking "this is bullshit, I know it, and I don't care." Given their training and experience--even though it's experience in a field we later define as junk science--they become confident in their own work, and confirmation bias is omnipresent. Not just for individual cases, but for entire forensic fields and methods.

It's not exactly the same, but there have been countless examples of prosecutors and police officers who, when faced with convictions overturned due to DNA evidence, continued to maintain that the person was nevertheless guilty despite that evidence. And if I'm being totally honest, I can't even imagine how tempting that fantasy would be.

The alternative is acknowledging that you got it wrong and an innocent person paid an extraordinary price for your failure, losing years of their life behind bars. Worse yet, your failure allowed allowed the actual murderer/rapist/etc. to get off scot-free and potentially harm others.

It's terrifying enough to imagine screwing up a single case. Now imagine screwing up hundreds or possibly thousands, after spending years using what you believed to be forensic science that turned out to be little more than bullshit. In that light, the temptation to search for alternative explanations, fight against information and evidence that contradicts your theory of the case, etc. has to be overwhelming. And while there are absolutely people in the justice system who don't succumb to that temptation, there are plenty who do.

The story is that publishing on a Kindle has the publisher give Amazon the right to sub-license copies that are "indefinitely" licensed to the purchaser; this is in contrast to iTunes where it really feels like they're giving you a "forever" license to something, since I haven't been able to find a story about movies outright disappearing from libraries (besides via changing countries which is an iTunes quirk).
I'm with you regarding the DRM. So what I do instead is download the e book from z lib and also buy the book if I like it to support the author. So a win-win for the author as well as for me.
I'd take an Italian course if I became Italian and intended to stay in Italy permanently, I only speak English and a little bit of Spanish/German -- more enough to get a bus ticket or meal or avoid a bar fight in the latter two.

But I don't actually have any connection to Italy -- my family on one side is from Poland, another side from Italy, but that was many generations ago. I am an American, I speak American English -- with a thick Pittsburgh accent that gets more intense when I get passionate about something.

An international student I knew years back I reconnected with recently told me she thinks I sound like Aldo Raines in Inglorious Basterds when I get angry or passionate, if that paints a picture :-)
