I think regarding it as a one-time payment for individual use with free upgrades within the current and next major version is a reasonable use of the term 'one-time payment' in that while you can't upgrade any further after that the software still keeps working.

It seems to me that 'free upgrades forever' is honestly not a wise idea if you want to develop for your actual users rather than having to constantly try and attract more because any existing user will never pay you again.

So while I'm glad you mentioned the specifics, I don't think the 'Actually,' at the start was really deserved. (plus in general the quality of comments on the internet starting with 'Actually,' is terribad and what followed it in your case came as a welcome and pleasant surprise ;)
For now. Just wait for UpperManagementGPT to start making business decisions.
Well.. it does look like a paid placement.. she's a Notion Ambassador.. I have no idea what that means.. but if her domain is "notionthings" and she's preaching about Notion... I'm taking a lot of this with a grain of salt.

That said, the only reason I didn't adopt Notion for my social club (went with Confluence) is because Notion has a surprisingly small file storage for free accounts. Basically made it a non-starter for setting up something basic to try and convince my club to adopt.
Here's the study: https://www.ncpe.ie/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Libmeldy-Bene...

It's worth mentioning that the study in Ireland indicates that the treatment extends life by 14.49 QALYs (average "Total Life-years" moved from 8.92 to 22.74), which is a long way from a cure. If this is truly a cure, and the treated population lives a full life (life expectancy in Ireland is current 82 years, not 23), then this treatment will become cost effective without any change in the treatment or it's cost. The posted article agrees that this is the big open question.

> The benefit of the therapy seemed to last several years, but at this point, "it is not yet clear whether it will persist life-long, and extended follow-up is needed," the EMA noted.

Confidently incorrect! It’s common. In fact, you’ve personally probably even seen countless for-profit drop boxes in parking lots.

Misrepresentation might be, but it doesn’t seem like it took you long to see how they work so they’re probably not working very hard to misrepresent anything.

They really aren't that rare, and the reason we don't help all of them is not because of a utilitarian decision not to spend money on public healthcare. If you can get your humanitarianism to move that money from corn subsidies and fighter jets to health spending, more power to you.
I did judo for 5 years when I was a kid and a teenager (extremely popular in my country). Then I stopped and resumed in my late 20s for a few more years. I really loved that sport but it was too much strain on my body. Maybe I was in the wrong club, but for me it wasn't sustainable as an older adult, randoris were too intense (but the best part).

I then switched to Muay Thai which seems like a more violent sport, but it's much easier to control the intensity, as long as you're in phase with your sparring partners.
You get the politicians you vote for. If you hate this, vote for the other candidate next time you get a chance. People voting in corrupt, captured incumbents because they don't want to 'waste their vote', or because they only vote along party lines, is the reason this stuff keeps happening. You could count on the courts, but ultimately you have a responsibility as a voter and can only pass the buck for so long.
I think most people have had similar feelings, and there’s nothing weird or strange about it. The modern world is just a very disenchanted [1] place, where we are expected to treat physical objects purely as dead pieces of matter. Previous human civilizations did a better job of recognizing that we enjoy imbuing objects in the world with meaning, I think.

Definitely not because of lack of trying, many global powers have been trying hard to "Balkanise" India.

If the cost isn’t reflective of real resource/labor consumption, but instead is a rent on IP (which is partially repaying some fixed R&D investment), it’s not so simple.

Let’s suppose a drug company is setting their price to maximize revenue.

Suppose they make the following projections:

They determine that if the treatment price is $10 million above the actual cost of providing the treatment, 5 people will buy it. $50 million total profit.

If the price is set so the profit per treatment is $1 million, 100 people will use it. $100 million total profit.

If the profit per treatment is $100k, 800 people will use it. $80 million total profit.

If the company isn’t factoring in the value of a life saved, they will pick the $1 million price point. If ethicists then just run with that price, they may come to the conclusion that the treatment isn’t cost-effective. However, they are relying on data that’s an output of a process with conflicting values, and that pollutes the result of their calculation. Garbage in, garbage out. The 700 people who didn’t get treated lose out for a pretty bad reason.

We could imagine a policy where the drug companies are mandated to maximize lives saved when setting prices. One might argue that companies won’t develop as many drugs if profits can’t be maximized. We could adjust the policy to subsidize companies for income lost when setting lower prices. Ie. if the drug company picks the $100k price point to save 700 more lives, the government gives them $20M compensation so they can profit like they would have at the $1M price point. That way society spends the same amount of money on this drug, but more lives get saved. I’m sure there’s a lot of challenges in designing a program like that, but the opportunity to save lives makes it seem worthwhile to attempt.
Most prisons seem to have constant problems regarding verifiable evidence for all the bruises and incidents that seem to happen.

It might have something to do with Correctional officers being notorious for dehumanizing the people they are supposed to be watching, raping them, and other horrific things.
>This begs the question: at what point is something sentient/conscious enough that rights and ethics come into play?

At no objective point. Rights and ethics are a social constract, and as such can be given (and taken away from) some elite, a few people, most people, or even rocks and lizzards.

>Can we even refute that a rock is conscious?

Yes, unless we stretch the definition of conscious most people use beyond recognition.

At that point, though, it will be so remote from what we use the term for, that it could just be any random term, like doskoulard!

"Can we even refute that a rock is doskoulard?"
And then instead of reading "that atidarsagene autotemcel not be considered for reimbursement unless cost effectiveness can be improved relative to existing treatment" today, we would have read something like "current regulatory environment precludes research and development expenditures into atidarsagene autotemcel" in some biopharm prospectus a decade ago.

You can't have it both ways and preventing people from making money means, not surprisingly, they will be very hesitant to spend money researching those areas.
Nitpick: most of the calories you consume are expelled as feces. You have to consume a caloric surplus to stay alive.
People do things they don't want every single day, including obese people. To equate discomfort with control loses all meaning in both words. The vast majority of people don't want to get out of the bed every morning. Yet the vast majority of people do it anyways, because we have control over that decision regardless of hormone signalling.

Hormone signalling isn't control, if it were then society would cease to function and among many other terrible things you'd lose bodily autonomy as anyone who wanted to sleep with you and was strong enough to subdue you would do so every time they had the urge.
I tried this and I find Notion unusably slow and riddled with bugs. It loses data, it is an absolute ghastly product. This person is paid to write this.

And the support is unhelpful as I reported many bugs many times and the answer never helps or works. Ripe for disruption for sure.
I Watched Elon Musk Kill Twitter’s Culture from the Inside
"My things" are things that are mine, that I own or control. When I buy a book, or a car, or a spoon, it becomes my book, or car, or spoon. But that doesn't mean it was made with me in mind.

A "me thing", and this is just my interpretation, is something that is "about, of, or from me." If one tries to create the "best thing", it's impossible, because it's always possible to imagine another version that's somehow better. In trying to create a "best thing", I will strip or polish away aspects of myself that I see in what I create, because I'm chasing an ideal that is "outside of me", "objective", "universal".

If I instead choose to create a "me thing", that means accepting and celebrating that the thing I create will be a reflection of me, something that no one else can create, because it's imbued with the spirit of that who created it, namely, me.

Does that help, Laurent? It's not formal, grammatical English. It's not a common idiom, or a phrase I've seen elsewhere. But I think I intuitively understand what the author is saying, and I hope this explanation helps you understand too.

Yes, "dotnet publish" is what I was thinking of. Wow, I didn't realize it could cross-compile!

I can't quite tell from the .NET SDK repository -- any idea if this stuff works on Linux (i.e. building on Linux, perhaps for Windows)? I see mention of MSBuild, so I'm guessing maybe not.

I love C#, but I abandoned it a while ago because I wanted to only rely on open source tools (just to ensure my code is usable in the future). Then, of course, they open-sourced a bunch of stuff (including the compiler). If I at least had the option to develop C# on Linux (with support for cross-compiling to Windows), that would be great (and honestly something I would have never expected 10 years ago).

Performance has improved noticeably, particularly for the mobile apps, but it is still slow. I am a heavy Notion user and happily pay for it, but I really wish they would support local sync so that it would be more responsive.
If your needs can be summed as 'only trust entities which you explicitly trust, while doing continuous verification and least privilege', then use something like OpenZiti or WireGuard.

To be fair, most orgs don't have those needs. Most zero trust implementations were in fact not motivated by zero trust. It was more like the VPNs were backhauling user->big_cloud_provider_hosted_app connections through bandwidth-constrained private data centers. Acceptable (or not a top priority to fix) when remote work was a fraction (for most orgs). Not acceptable for all orgs once C-19 hit. "Zero trust" from the big vendors took the connections direct (via their clouds).
This reminds me of the movie https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/95-armageddon where they train a team of expert drillers to become astronauts so they can drill deep into the large object headed for earth and put a bomb inside it.

And during filming Ben Affleck asked a very good question: why not train existing astronauts on how to drill vs. this other way around. To which director Michael Bay told Ben to stop asking stupid questions.
Those of us that went through this during the great recession and Marissa Mayer years recognize it well. This is definitely a stealth layoff. Intel is known for infamously using this tactic. There's for sure an element of power play here too, so yeah reasserting control is a good bet. I would not be surprised if there's considerable tax and accounting loopholes that enable this kind of behavior as well.

> There were a whole lot of things in the US system of government that were put there on purpose but have turned out to definitely be bad.

I don't agree that there were "a whole lot", but yes, some of the original features were bad. The founders knew they couldn't avoid that, which is why they included an amendment process. Which has been used to fix a number of the original features that turned out to be bad.

I also don't agree that the brokenness in the current US system is due to too much use of anti-majoritarian features. I think it's due to too little use of such features. (Well, that and simply ignoring the Constitution altogether when it is politically expedient.)
This kind of drive would be a lot more compelling with NVMe Zoned Namespaces (ZNS), which is an abstraction over the different channels on a flash drive (and also can manage shingled magnetic recording (SMR) hd's which have somewhat similar append-friendly modes).

Typically this ZNS capability is for fancier drives. But giving systems the ability to more performantly deal with dram-less storage would be a huge potential help. A good OS should be able to manage without the temporary dram, especially if it can issue smart writes, rather than creating nasty write amplification problems. ZNS
> We compile apps for the desktop, we should compile apps for the web too.

I don't think this is true at all. The key reason you see build steps are to solve problems that you don't even have to worry about in desktop apps. If you have an app on the web, its bundle size needs to be small so that it downloads over the internet in a few hundred ms or so. So you get a minification step. You want a good type system, you end up with a build step. You want broad compatibility with older browsers? You end up with polyfills. Need to do some asset processing? You end up with some scripts that have to run at build time.

Build steps aren't some arbitrary complexity people make them out to be. They solve performance and compatibility issues, which impact real users in the real world. Running full-blown desktop apps over HTTP comes with a different set of problems compared to any local native app.

Of course most of this isn't important for small side projects. But for many, side projects are a way to learn about different technologies they might end up using for larger projects or in a professional context.

The thing that tires me about this old chestnut is that it’s just a shell game and not actually a substantive idea. “Just take money from somewhere else.” It’s akin to saying that we will use the latest AI technology and machine learning to make our value proposition work. It sounds satisfying but it says nothing.
I'll give you that.

The reason I questioned is because in my experience with those languages the 95% problem is not the actual data consistency rather it's locking and synchronization hell that results from needing to make your program threadsafe to ensure data consistency. Rust says, don't get yourself in a situations where you need to do that in the first place, it's not safe. Just clone the data or leak it read only or Cow it.

What Rust does is great, it sets you up so you're never sharing references across threads unless you try really really hard. And that's the source of needing manual synchronization the majority of the time. However, when you do need locks, Rust doesn't do anything to help. In other words, if you copied a Java program to Rust with object instance pointers all over the place, I bet it would feel just as bad in Rust.

So I tend to think of that more as "thread safety" than "memory safety". But we might just be arguing semantics at this point. I agree Rust is far more of a pleasure to work in than Java and C#.

For DNS, I have been using Gandi (1) for the last yen years or so and have been very happy with them. I originally went with them because they were one of the few registrars that did the .cat TLD. I liked the experience and eventually transferred all of my domains to them.

They are a french company. Their slogan is "No Bullshit," (2) and I think they've done a decent job of living up to that.

My only frustration has been a situation where I was transferring an existing domain over to them. I wanted to create the zone file ahead of time so that when the transfer happened, there would be an identical zone file ready to go. But they wouldn't allow me to create a zone file for a domain that hadn't transferred over to them yet. Since I'm not doing anything critical with my domains, it was just an annoyance, but that would be a show-stopper for some.

As it pertains to billing problems, they allow you to pre-pay a chunk of money to your account. (They take PayPal.) It deducts from that amount when domains renew. That provides a buffer if you need to cancel your credit card.

Also, on the occasions that I have created trouble tickets, they have been responded to in a reasonable amount of time with helpful information.

I'd prefer something with a more sound type system, and something that makes cleaning up resources easier and more ergonomic.

<< The government isn't ran by some cartoon villains

I will make a short quip here. All cartoon villains I saw appear to be fairly capable administrators. If government was ran by one of those, we would likely see an improvement. I am not sure who is in charge anymore, but I can agree with you that it is not cartoon villains.
I think you just unlocked another revenue angle - indirect innoculation.
The performance is better than it was at that time. At that time performance was the #1 item for improvement on their roadmap.

I currently pay for Notion and I don't usually mind the performance. However, things like opening a new window and changing it to a new document with the "quick" search (command-p) is still almost unacceptably slow (it's an Electron app). The benefits for me do outweigh the costs though.

I've never seen native apps anywhere in their stated plans.

I do that today, but I believe there is still a lot of opportunity for languages to approach my ideal, and I think I share my ideal with others. And if a language like that did exist, or could be made, I'd love to use it - changing languages every project is workable, but you'd probably agree (I hope?) that NOT changing languages every project would be even better.
