But have you actually had the flu? I ask, because most people say “oh, I had the flu” when in actuality they just had a common cold.

The flu, the real flu, knocks you on the ass so hard that you actively start considering that death is a possibility and that heading over to the hospital would be a good idea.

I’ve had the flu perhaps twice. Once as a child, once in my early 50s. The latter completely recalibrated my understanding of illness.

One day I will write an article titled "I wish you had just built this syncronously, I can wait."

Speaking in the context of apps and webapps, so many bad UX moments are caused by async optimizations that are entirely pointless. Often I can't action the page until all the calls are done anyway, I would much rather see a finished page than watch the jittery pained birth of a dozen async calls coming to fruition and not knowing when it's safe to click something.
Nothing of what you say matters, whether true or false - Cuba is a sovereign nation, its non of your business to change the country in one way or another. Who do you think the USA is that it can decide for other countries what is best for them?

That is a great find for me.
Well good news, the government already takes a portion of everyone's wealth, especially Brin, via capital gains, income, property and other taxes. The Great Society happened just fine without a wealth tax and the government collects far more in taxes today than it did in the 1960s.

You're also pinballing between "the government needs more money to give to poor people" and "we should just take rich people's money because it makes poor people feel bad that some people are rich and it will make them feel better if the rich aren't so rich". Does the government actually need the money or not?

People might be temporarily helped by handouts, but they won't rise out of poverty until there's work available for them to support themselves. That is hampered by discouraging investment in productive enterprise via excessive taxes.

Reading through the below blurb (and the rest of the article), I couldn't help but wonder how this would've panned out in today's world with UX professionals and processes.

"Nobody on the 15-engineer team quite knew what the ideal software keyboard would look like. Over the next few weeks, the engineers developed a wide variety of prototypes. ... The remaining prototypes downsized the usual QWERTY keyboard, but these came with their own set of problems. The buttons were too small and there was no tactile feedback to tell the user whether they had hit or missed the button."

I've had my hands in a carcass, pulling out organs. I have tried to make sure I made death and quick and painless as I could for chickens. I have not butchered anything bigger than that. I don't do that for all my meat.

I think we differ more about how much death and life are intertwined and inseperable, than we differ on how sacred and considerate that relationship should be.
None of that comes into play in MS-DOS, which never supported multiple processors. CPU 0 on Alder Lake is also a P-core, so you're not going to be throttled by MS-DOS not knowing how to thread-schedule itself. I'm also not certain but would not be surprised if power saving isn't implemented or functional in any of the firmware-provided compatibility SMMs that are running when you boot into such an old OS.

This is so true. I have never made this connection before. Even “working software” is far more subjective than “comprehensive documentation”.

But despite believing they are critical to the success of a project, I have no idea how to measure the things on the left, other than intuitively.

This is probably why I suck at working in big corporates.
Generally people have the wrong idea how congress decides to spend money.

The budget gets compiled by the various executive agencies. It essentially lists their required spending needs based on the authorizing legislation they are working under. As such the budget is more akin to an audit than anything else. Congress doesn't decide how much money to spend and on what as part of the budget process. That actually comes from the authorizing legislation that is passed separately.

Wait, the self report monitoring system that went from virtually unknown to a household name at a time the number of adult vax administrations skyrocketed.. detected an uptick in absolute number of adverse events? Stop traffic! This article is off to a great start.

Quite literally, yes. Communities were segregated for decades and the repercussions are still felt today. Its why communities divided by freeways are typically made up Black people or other people of color.

It’s astonishing that the word “generative” gets applied to technologies that are designed to duplicate, adapt, interpolate, or outright plagiarize without attribution in most cases. The skills trained into these codes do a lot of things and can produce impressive results, but when these results are traced to their sources, “generation” is at best a last-place description of what they do, and may be entirely absent.
I emailed the LG CEO and some of the executive board and said (in colorful language) that the only reason I bought this TV was because the quality was unmatched. For the moment LG is the only vendor where I can get an OLED TV like this. But as soon as there are competitors I will remember never to buy LG again for the terrible ad and tv menu experience. I also said how annoying it was that you commit to a particular smart assistant (google or alexa), and the TV will nag you to set up Alexa. I made my choice leave me alone.

The analogy is Tesla is the only one making good electric cars. When there's competition, I will never buy Tesla because of the shitty experience.

Also for >$1k it should let you use the TV as an HDMI multiviewer. It has 4 HDMI ports on the back, let me view plug in my personal laptop on the port 1, work laptop on port 2, and divide the screen to give each laptop a "2nd monitor". Or even 2 monitors each.
IOW, it would be meet and proper for the browser to be able to remember sound settings per site, and bad to offer web pages that ability.
I mean something has to be going on here right? I've run 6 week programs for elementary school kids where at the end the pass rate for "and code something that prints the numbers 1-100" would be higher than that. Like there is no way only 30% of interviewees have taken a single programming class and that's miles ahead of printing 1-100 or fizzbuzz. Is it something with the interview process? Is it some freeze up because the question seems so easy people are doubting they understand what they need to do correctly? Is there some endless supply of software engineer candidates that don't know how to use a computer, cheated their way through school, but are sure they can land a position anyways if they just interview 50 times?
Privacy controls and public posting delays (as in: analysis is available immediately, but public route posting gets delayed to a set time interval) would be excellent, particularly for those people who are more viral than they’d like.

> Sorry, but anybody who thinks Agile is about velocity, story points, planning poker, standups, retrospectives, backlog grooming, etc. has been sold a bill of goods. Now that's not to say that those things don't have (some) value.

Spot on. You and parent have hit the two points that matter:

1. Agile is about removing impediments to productivity

2. velocity, story points, planning poker, standups, retrospectives, backlog grooming, etc are all, in some way, impediments to productivity (even if they do have some value).

I think the real reason you cannot have real agile is because businesses don't run in a way that is compatible with agile, so over time all processes within a business will evolve to match how the business itself functions.

> I'm really just interested in taxing them a bit more

How much more exactly? How do you know when to stop raising taxes? You think current wealth gap is unacceptable, well what kind of gap is acceptable?

The higher your taxes are, the lower is the incentive for innovation and investment. What makes you think that "a bit more" is going to be a net positive? Higher taxes have tendency to slow down the economy. Should US be growing slower than China, for instance?

While taxes do help transfer wealth from rich to poor, they do it through government, which is incredibly inefficient (and, in many countries, corrupt).

> I don't think it's healthy for democratic, pluralistic societies to have such large wealth gaps

There were some big movements that shared similar ideas. Somehow they all have a tendency to cause millions of deaths due to famine and repressions. I'd rather have my wealth gaps.

There are interesting discussions to be had around inequality, but I don't think simple solutions like "just raise taxes until inequality goes away" or "take away their wealth and give it to the poor" (like another commenter suggested) are productive.

That's like saying your seatbelt is uncomfortable so you don't wear it while you're driving. Don't take it off, find a solution to make it work.

Use a better block list (OISD has been mentioned already), or use NextDNS. Neither of those cause breaks in most sites and stop the most bothersome/prevalent ads.
As individuals those averages are looking at too large of a group. There are known subgroups with different risk profiles and grouping them together isnt helpful. You get very different risks from both for for example a healthy <30yo male and an obese >60yo male.

We have had that data for a while and simplifications serve no benefit. Its not early 2020 anymore, as always, as we get more accurate data, we get to adapt some strategies based on that.

edit: Not to mention the difference in strains (omicron vs delta) as well as the confidence into the different risks (under counting (detection problem) vs over counting(hospitalized/dying from vs with covid)
+100 for NextDNS. Happy paying customer here.

Aside from it just working, their mobile client is a fantastic thing. When I am off wifi, my phone routes DNS to NextDNS and I get the same adblocking when I am on cellular data.
Eventually they’ll just route around this by connecting to your neighbor’s Ring doorbell or your Nest thermostat or whatever random internet connected thing that it can reach out and pass packets through.
I find your observation at odds with how I interact with the web, though I can guess the basis of from where your disillusion / dissatisfaction stems from.

If you're speaking about Firefox's imperfect url history, yes that's annoying and was ever present in old versions of firefox, not that I know exactly why, it's just is that way from time to time, possibly leaky code itself or maybe other times more to do with a site's tricky web coding or getting the link confused with other cdn sources used to populate the page.

I don't think the WWW will move to a lower noise to bandwidth formula ... yes I find the ratio appalling at the moment was well for having to scroll more than I should to read the content, and put up with limited search results per page. However I'm lucky, I don't need an ad blocker as I don't even notice the ads, there's just annoying colourful blocks that impede my focused search for texty stuff.

Honestly if someone would have told me so many sites would load a page on a subject and it would struggle to manage 100 words back 20 years ago ... I would have never figured on turning the same page into five or more padded out with unimportant stuff ... but I guess these days that's what pays the bills.

It's not really a big advantage over existing attacks.

You still need the user to be on a domain controlled by the attacker, so a user will be able to spot that e.g. they're not on their real bank website if they just look at the URL. And there are already attacks which emulate the entire look and feel of a real bank website and you can only spot with a bad URL.

The key benefit of this approach is that you can put another website into your website like an iframe, and have full access to the website within your site (including e.g. reading and injecting JavaScript). But your site is still sandboxed, and users still have to be tricked into going to it in the first place. Then they need to be tricked into using the real website, inside the fake website, which at this point many people are smart enough to not do anyways.
> There are loads of of hedge funds and PE shops (ie the people actually making the investments) who are trying to generate the highest returns they can.

You are mixing investors (the one having money to invest) and investment managers (the ones having an investment product).

The objective function of both are very different, because an investor accumulates multiple investment managers in its portfolio.

An investment manager can be very focused on a single purpose, because ultimately he will sell his investment strategy to an investor that will blend him with others in his portfolio to respect his risk profile.

We are talking about investors here, not investment managers.

> The idea that "we are the smart money" at places like you mention isn't accurate

That's not what I said. I'm working in the asset management side, and I was talking about investors.

To rephrase, I said that even non sophisticated investors have an understanding of what is a risk profile, what is an exposure, what is risk parity, and overall efficient frontiers.

> Almost every single person at an insurance company, bank, fund of funds, pension fund wishes they were at the VC, PE, Hedge fund etc who is actually doing the investing. But they can't get a job there.
