I know it sounds wrong, but the same goes for guns, drugs, and just about anything else illegal. If it's banned, it's just pushed underground where it can't be regulated at all.

Besides, if there isn't a market for child-imprisonment, then we won't be able to accurately price it as a commodity. Not being able to price commodified child-imprisonment means the market for it will be much more inefficient than it needs to be. Efficient markets imply positive public good. It's really that simple.

The phase 1 trials for the Moderna vaccine were ready within 3 months of the first case being recorded in Wuhan. And much of that time was still just bureaucracy and logistics. Sequencing of the viral genome was done in a matter of days and so was the conversion of the DNA sequence to an mRNA vaccine. Then it was months of safety and efficacy studies. If we can prove the long-term safety of the process in it's entirety, we could see vaccines be produced in days.

This is a very uncharitable assessment. They drag their feet on API support but they're still a part of the interop group and actually were more conformant by the end of last year on the targeted features than Chrome: https://wpt.fyi/interop-2022

There's a case to be made that they handicap PWA features, but I don't see their team directly implementing features incorrectly.
No, what we're saying is we only have the business's word on that, and that isn't worth very much. There are tons of shady recyclers who look the other way at laptops that "fell off the back of a truck", and I'm very confident that's what's happening here, and you (and Vice) are falling for it. The bit about multiple thousands of business laptops getting junked is a total ragebait distraction, because any business of that size has MDM enabled. What they're really complaining about is individual laptops whose provenance is unknown, and at best they don't care where they came from, at worst they're active participants in the theft rings.

A Junior Google Software Engineer is earning a lot more these days than they were during Google's ascent to market dominance, but not because Google decided to pay more.
Even worse, in some jurisdictions the incoming pipeline for hires routes through running the jail or prisons.

The mindset behind being a good cop and a good prison guard are totally different. Exposing hires to the corruption and violence inside prisons right before sending them to police the streets creates a very adversarial mindset against the public.

Canadians can remain smug that their social safety net is much better than the USA and many other countries, but nonetheless there are enormous holes that can still be filled which would make life more affordable for regular people and would conceivably aid in making people feel more comfortable to be able to afford to have more children.

Parent correct to note that Dentalcare is not part of Universal Healthcare, but even more significant than that there is no Universal Pharmacare, though there's some aids for the poor and elderly.

Two weeks vacation is pretty standard and many Canadians have very little vacation time.

Until very recently many people had no minimum sick days (though your typical tech company would have a few). Only during the pandemic has there been adgitation to try to create some minimums. The Feds brought in 10 days minimum sick days for workers under their purview, but provinces demurred from going that far.

Only just now is Canada slowly rolling out affordable universal $10/day childcare and so the next few decades will be interesting in that academics can study the impact of this on births.

The most significant thing Canada could do to encourage more births would be to make family friendly homes (ie. 1300 sqft+) dramatically more available and affordable. Right now there's a huge shortage and they're basically unaffordable without existing wealth.

Japan does not seem to have this problem so bad as they have an enormous surplus of homes and their home prices have been stagnant for a long time.
Neither will explaining that your laptop is useless to a thief. If someone is going to shoot you over a laptop, they're going to shoot you over a laptop. Obviously it's not worth killing someone for a $3k laptop though (any more than you see someone shot over a Honda Civic), so they won't. Otherwise we'd all be wearing body armor when we write a thesis in Starbucks... which (unless you're American) is a distant fantasy.
I really want Wolfram|Alpha to be integrated into this... that'd be nice. Also if they could make W|A any faster than a glacier while there at it that'd be great.

I guess I'll be an odd-ball here. I'm an Architect. A real one - that designs built spaces. The hours are insane and the pay is crap. But I absolutely love it because I get to create things in real world. Shakespeare said " All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players;"
I get to design that stage, add a piece of my imagination into the real world. I also code and mess around with ML and game engines to see how agents could create spaces with discrete elements. There are many times I think of jumping ship to UI/UX or AR development due to my graphic, design and problem solving skills, but , the amount of satisfaction I get solving a real world problem with design is more meaningful to me than to be able to afford a decent living wage.

> what if they just miss the carriers in practice?

I look to history for this question. Time and time again the navies of advanced nations have been caught off guard by anti-ship missiles. The US, UK, Israel and Russia have all had ships hit by anti-ship missiles, despite their supposed defenses. Some of those missiles were Chinese in origin. Two of those ships sank (Moskva and HMS Sheffield.)

Given the record I'll take China at its word. Their missiles will likely work.
Thats a good questions for a statistician.

# of airships vs # of Airplanes, over various time periods, various safety improvements (hydrogen to helium for airships, plastics instead of steel vs self-flying & landing planes and propellers to jet engines, things like that)

The one thing planes have over airships is speed. The faster airships topped out at 80-90mph at the same time planes were pulling 200mph.

Now planes can be supersonic while I can't really imagine dirigibles going more than 150-200 mph max.
I'm a big fan of them over traditional ORMs and use knex in quite a few projects at this point. I find them a really good balance between full on ORM and just writing out pure SQL queries.

> The Safari team seems to be well-funded [...]

Meh. Safari is owned by Apple, the richest company in the world and they're beaten by a non-profit(!) who spends ~500 million / yr?

Apple only started properly funding Safari and catching up with Firefox and Chrome when regulators started looking into their practices.

It's the same development workflow used by the Linux kernel? You know? The project that Git was invented for?
The math is incorrect. It's / 10 on that number, so each employee is bringing in ~$358,659 net income. Meaning Google are getting about $60k per employee. That actually doesn't seem too bad to me

Notepad++ (I just haven't found anything I like better than it) - runs great and developer knows people use Wine to run it and makes sure it works
Kaseya Live Connect / Remote Control (Kaseya RMM system) - the thing is basically a big QtWeb app, and runs surprisingly well
TagScanner (an MP3 tag editing app, also works very well)

Sometimes I think maybe I can run Office 365 on it, but I generally decide it's not worth screwing around with. I can totally get by fine with Evolution + EWS to connect to my Exchange server, and LibreOffice for editing documents.

I agree, it is something new and refreshing, I consult it frequently on random matters out of curiosity.

As someone who recently left the field of experimental neuroscience, anecdotes like this hit at why media coverage of neuroscience is so sensationalized and reductive: it takes a lot of nuance and background to convey the impact of any given finding.

In a lot of cases being even slightly reductive of EXACTLY what was reported immediately destroys the meaning and context of a finding. It's a field that actively resists compression of information and is so heterogeneously interdisciplinary that having the correct context to interpret a finding even within the field is often difficult.
To me, that's hesitating to bring it up.

If your average commit size is 30-40 lines of code, this isn't an issue. Stacks of small commits is a time-tested workflow, used by the Linux kernel among many other projects.

Sure but this kinda proves my point. It can potentially generate good code for simple, atomic problems. It can't write me a REST service that hooks into an existing web backed spread over multiple repos of proprietary code.

Any relationship not visible in the code seems to be outside its capabilities to understand for the moment. I'll be impressed when I can point it at a server cluster and the associated dozen repos, give it some clues, and it can understand how the code for a server cluster interacts with said cluster's configuration and database hookups by simply scanning the files/repos and the info I textually provide.
A lot of people who have problems with various recruiting techniques seem to assume a universe where nobody is dishonest. You can call for references but in many cultures people do not want to be mean and will say nice things about you even if you were a terrible employee. People will also lie and scheme and it can be difficult to really dig into someone's professional career to know if they are serious and good people or not. This is where some official record like a GPA can be useful, or a live coding interview where you get the opportunity to at least prove you are not a total faker.
A co-worker at as past job once said:

The US has, for maybe 30 years or so, looked past the traditional trust busting intention of anti-trust (hey, it's in the name!) laws - preventing monopolies.

The more modern interpretation has basically been "monopolies are ok if it lowers consumer prices", which sort of never made sense. Once you finish strangling all your competition, wouldn't you then raise prices? And then what, the government lets them do that until some vague line in the sand is crossed and we then actually enforce the law?

There are issues on the other side too - monopsony, where a company is so big they are the only nature buyer. You get this with Walmart being able to disproportionately squeeze their suppliers. You have this problem in labor markets sometimes because who else are you going to work for if your employer is super sized?

Lina Khan's writings, and the fact that Biden admin appointed her, indicates these recent assumptions about allowance of monopolies can probably be thrown out the window.
Disfrustrating Puzzles
Me as well. This is a change that should have come long ago, but it’s good that it’s being investigated.

It’s been a while since I’ve looked, but last I did the popular build systems were not generating javadoc by default. That leaves the vast majority of doc reading through editors or code browsers. I doubt most Java devs even know that Javadoc is HTML.

Moving to Markdown kills two birds with one stone and allows fallback to HTML for the complex cases. I would wager >80% of JavaDocs would instantly look better if they just enabled it by default.

I would prefer 1. if it had full type safety. I’m imagining some sort of a build process that looks for any .sql files in the project and spits out .sql.d.ts in the same directory with the input and output types according to the current schema of the database. Another nice thing about a setup like this imo would be that the .sql files would have the full support of the editor for completions and execution, unlike sql fragments in a Typescript file.

Here's the relevant excerpt from the SEC filing (page 11, edited for brevity):

"""

The Compensation Committee evaluates and makes compensation decisions prior to the start of each fiscal year... The Compensation Committee balanced shareholder feedback, Apple’s exceptional performance, and a recommendation from Mr. Cook to adjust his compensation in light of the feedback received. The Compensation Committee ... believes [the incentive changes] are responsive to shareholder feedback, while continuing both to align pay with performance and to recognize Mr. Cook’s outstanding leadership.

Mr. Cook’s 2023 target total compensation is $49 million, a reduction of over 40% from his 2022 target total compensation. ... [T]he Compensation Committee also intends to position Mr. Cook’s annual target compensation between the 80th and 90th percentiles relative to our primary peer group for future years.

The percentage of performance-based RSUs granted to Mr. Cook was increased from 50% to 75% of his 2023 target equity award and the percentage of his performance-based RSUs will be at least 75% of his target equity awards for future years.

The time-based RSUs awarded to Mr. Cook for 2023 provide for pro-rata instead of full vesting in the event of retirement during the term of the award. The Compensation Committee intends to maintain this same structure for future years.

It's not worth trying to explain to you why two data points illustrating an effect that has been true for all of human history is not evidence that "society does not value hard work anymore", so you get downvoted instead. Did the robber barons of the 1800s pay their rail workers well? Did Medieval European feudal lords pay their serfs well? I'm not saying the current situation is ideal, I'm saying "society doesn't value hard work anymore" is 100% bullshit.

Said phrase was coined intentionally. It was a purposeful allusion of sorts to the idiom.

Resting to me meant inaction. Conversely, the FTC appears to still analyze things for antitrust, but was doing so through an outdated framework.

Lorals means "pertaining to lore." I meant it to mean that Bork and Co had created an unquestionable mythology around what anti-trust was. Blasphemists were ignored and discarded.

So, new idiom minted. Maybe someday it can make it into the dictionary, and cite this post.

Coasting on your lorals = on auto-pilot, not questioning what put you on your trajectory, complacent enough to keep the flight path and speed. Tangently related to: appeal to tradition, argumentum ad antiquitatem, argumentum ad antiquitam, appeal to antiquity, and appeal to common practice.

Reminds me of Prisma in its type safety, any major differences? I see that it's a query builder but when I used them in the past, they honestly didn't feel that different to ORMs.

In Rust, there is sqlx which lets you write SQL but checks at compile time whether the SQL is valid for the database, by connecting to the database, performing the transaction then rolling back, picking up and displaying any errors along the way.

Now with Prisma, I like it since it provides one unified database schema that I can commit into git (which avoids the problem of overlapping migrations from team members simultaneously working on separate branches that then need to be merged back in; with a git compatible schema, we must handle merge conflicts) and be able to transport across languages. I recently ported a TypeScript project to Rust and the data layer at least was very easy due to this. I used Prisma Client Rust for it, which is the beauty of having a language agnostic API, you can generate your own clients in whatever language you want.
