You are correct about human nature, but what I challenge is the approach to contain our dark sides. Elections are a great example because this is where my thought and work focuses. Our elections are a complete and utter joke. Of course there can be deception. We have a corporate media, corporate academia, 2 corporate parties, and paper elections in the digital age without any means for a common citizen to realistically audit anything.

These things need to be fixed with a new way of operating, and that new way as a foundation automatically can enforce things like identity validation and media authentication. That eliminates a need to trust the foundation of the system, and gets us back to trusting people instead. All our current ways and thinking requires we trust a shadow infection of our foundations, that is completely opaque, while also trusting people. We have to solidify the foundations and remove the rot.

Where you might need to think more is around restricting access to intelligence in a non-equitable way. This is a corruption of the foundations. It can only work if there are unbreakable rules in accessing the system, and I do not trust the dark side of humans to operate with that — everything is breakable. Having access to intelligence breeds more intelligence. Things that can physically harm will still be restricted, but when you have organizations like the CCP or a world network of corrupt oligarchs, trying to allow only a subset of vetted people AI is misguided when such a large network of bad actor will most certainly have unfetter access, which they can use to control the minds of humans around the world.

You combat that by giving people unfettered access. Because there exists people we have no idea about, that are forces for enormous good. And if they have access to these kinds of tools, they can transform everything for the better. These forces are in the shadows right now, because the people in the light of society are largely already rotten. There will not be more harm giving everyone access; we already give gotten people the keys to everything and seem to survive.

Restricting access will most certainly result in short term stability in exchange for guaranteed death long term. It is a very misguided approach.
Based. Make companies cope further, by scrapping their prices and make your own prices 5% lower so customers buy from you. Their sites lag even on 32GB ram devices, with animations everywhere and zero optimization. This is the only way to compensate it. Even if you have nothing to sell, you still should abuse their antispam filters.
That's a tautology: workers pay not keeping up with price changes is how we stop inflation.

Inflation is not enough stuff to go around. That loss has to be absorbed by people getting less. Either everybody gets a little less by wages not buying what they used to, or some people get a lot less by jobs and businesses disappearing.

Ideally we'd just make more, but after two years of messing around with global supply chains, we've fundamentally damaged them so they no longer have excess capacity to supply. Like an overstretched spring, it won't just go back to where it was.

It's going to take a while to get the virtuous spiral working again.
I disagree. when some tech seems to come out of nowhere, and disconnected from the general community practices, understanding the background of who made it can help understanding its blindspots.
also, the whole thing did not start with some kind of open white paper explaining the need, the rational for a new framework or language and comparing with alternatives, etc. which is often how oss projects start.
I am not so sure. Qualified immunity is civil protection not criminal protection. That means that qualified immunity protects the police officer from being sued for money by a citizen. It does not protect the officer from being prosecuted by that conduct.

I am not sure that civil trials are a great way to protect Constitutional rights. The outcome of an egregious civil rights lawsuit is that the plaintiff gets paid money that comes from the city (via taxes) and the police depart and involved officer are otherwise unaffected. The real winners in changing qualified immunity would not be the public or the Constitution, but rather trial lawyers.

High profile state and federal prosecutions of police officers who violate civil rights are probably a much bigger deterrent to police officers violating the Constitution, and that is completely unaffected by qualified immunity.

If you really want something that is burning a hole in the Constitution, it is Civil Forfeiture. That one goes directly against the Fourth Amendment protection against government seizure.
If you're right then "able-ist" itself would be an insult and won't be allowed, thus it won't be possible to disallow insults. qed
> What advantage does C hold over Rust if you value a composable language which is safe and expressive?

Language stability, tons of tooling, validation, decades of experience, plus the fact that you might have spent 500 million dollars to develop your existing codebase.

Not to mention Rust is still a moving target and it's not ratified for safety-critical uses.
See, there is a tendency for students to feel like they have to take on them any insults (or similar) coming from a higher-up.

I understand that you are fine being called an idiot and that the proper response is a smile and nod of understanding. Some do not. I do not.

Have you worked in academia, especially in the ones where you have a medieval approach to hierarchy?

I think a slightly more... charitable explanation would be that most people who are geniuses at various topics aren't also geniuses at marketing, nor in many cases particularly good at self promotion.

And it's not what you know that matters for fame, it's how good you are at selling yourself. Well, either that, or you get very lucky and the media picks up your story.

You can see a possible example of a genius getting media coverage in a niche area by looking at Kaze Emanuar and his Super Mario 64 mods. He's basically the best programmer for the system in the world right now, and has almost singlehandedly moved the community forward on every technical level possible.

His works also get a ton of coverage.
Formaldehyde kills Anthrax a bacillus bacteria and we make Formaldehyde from folic acid and folates. Downside of Formaldehyde is it increases the chance of cancer, probably one of the main reasons smokers got lung cancer because of the Formaldehyde in tobacco. UV light reduces folates, but does increase Vitamin D and vitamin D alters gene expression. I think something like 2000+ plus genes are influenced by Vit D, most of them being immune system genes.

Creatine broken down becomes creatinine which has a gram + and gram - antimicrobial effect, which probably explains why people who have 3rd degree burns experience sudden muscle loss with rhabdomyolysis, in order to keep the bacterial levels down.

Never understood why bodybuilders get told to cycle their creatine intake considering the above. Anyone know?

In the meantime, I'll continue increasing my alpha-linoleic acid (£136 million per kilo from sigma-aldrich) for my omega3 intake, as it increases the size of neutrophils, which store our vitamin C and make it a hostile environment for some pathogens, before some CD4 cells carryout the phagocytosis activity.

How to Start Your Blog in 2023
Running your own blog in 2023 is still needlessly complicated, especially if you have any kind of taste. Social apps and networks are obviously the easiest options, but they’re geared toward vastly different things, and I just don’t trust their longevity. There are many options out there, ranging from WordPress and Ghost to static blogs to managed online platforms and Micro.blog. In fact, none of the options out there seem ideal to me – they range from mediocre to acceptable.
Summing all the things is similar to just a big "OR" right? It lets the important signal through (you don't know which it is) and the other ones just have to be suppressed or suppressed enough to not interfere. For example all the other ones might as well be as if stochastic, so on average you get it right.

This is a propellor airliner, from a generation before the Comet. Though even then it's unclear what makes it the first modern airliner; if you're defining that as "metal, purpose-designed, more than 10 passengers", as they seem to be, the similar Junkers Ju 52 was around earlier (this is mostly remembered as a military aircraft now, but started life as a civilian airliner).
I'm a huge proponent of space flight and exploration and want to see "everything" space related happen, but are we really at the stage where we should put resources behind making space accessible to those with disabilities, when it's already such a difficult environment for the very fittest humans we can send?
Android Java proves how much Google cares about Java after screwing up Sun.

Given how much everyone around here likes to hate on IBM, while not even being aware of how OpenJ9 works, the alternative implementations for IBM mainframe and micro computers and so forth, it would hardly make a difference versus Oracle.

Sun, Oracle and IBM were the main triumvirate pushing Java into the market.

Every Java developer that uses OpenJDK or a distribution based on it, uses Oracle code.

It is about 80% of Oracle employes that put in the effort since Java 6 to bring the ecosystem forward.
Well, I had soldier figurines made of lead growing up... :)

This is an entry into the application AuthZ world. The space is in need of a general approach to get away from ad hoc solutions in every application or in the IDP. Cedar falls somewhere between OPA with its datalog (prolog) based search approach and a Zanzibar based approach.

No, but it means there will probably be less of them, which in turn means most will either be fired or accept a pay cut.
Except the tiny detail that OpenJDK code is mostly written by Oracle anyway.

The quote is designed to make you understand that building products is about understanding problems, not listening to desired solutions.

A PM's job is to be the owner of the "problem space", while the engineering teams job is to be the owners of the "solution space".

Fords point was that his customers would only ever tell him about solutions they wanted (faster horse). When in actual fact what mattered to Ford was the problem (current modes of personal transport being expensive, unreliable, uncomfortable, slow, single-person).

Any good PM should be able to explain this to you. OP has never worked with a proper PM apparently... Just BA's and Project Managers that wanted a pay bump.

FYI you do not always inherit debt. It gets paid from your estate, IF they file for it. Source: lost my wife to cancer at 41. She was 41. I was 32.

I paid zero of that debt when she died. Just ignored it. It was all in her name. I might have also been fully ptsd’d.

But my credit is fine, the probate period is LONG (10+ years) gone, etc…

Sure my evidence is anecdotal but no - debt is not “transferred” to your name like you inherit it.

None of this matters unless it is universally applied. Requires a new language and ecosystem around it.
We still are crowded with low hanging fruit, but apparently, it's invisible to the majority. Existing low hanging fruit off the top of my head:
* air quality, safety and more sophisticated air management indoors is a virtually untapped field; as air borne viruses become more of an issue in our denser population, this issue is peer with water and food quality.
* how to promote secondary thinking, soas to prevent public manipulation and abuse.
* interpersonal rights management - systematic abuse of personal rights is institutionalized by modern corporate business and legal procedures; how to frame and formalize so this can be named, addressed, eliminated and the institutional abusers identified and dealt. I'm talking everything from entire industries that overwork, to leased prison labor.
* interpersonal communication management - in the technology industries issues such as Imposter Syndrome and bully behavior is common; this has as a core underlying aspect deceptive language in a individual's self conversation - which can be addressed, corrected, and a level of personal wellness achieved while that individual becomes significantly more accepted and integrated socially.
* Professional communications for scientific and technology careers: our industries are largely populated by gifted individuals who have not received any professional communications training, so our industries are ripe with confusion and miscommunication. How to impress the value of formal communication within the scientific and technology industries, and how to do so without the typical lame ineffectual methods that do not work now.

I feel like you and the article are talking about different things since the 247 was a prop plane in 1933, and the precursor to the DC-1, 2, and 3. The DC-3 being of course one of the most successful planes in history, and is still in service as an airliner in some places. How many comets are still flying on regular schedules?

They're already doing it with TV shows. Look at the Witcher TV series for instance - which has strayed quite far from the source material.

Even the author (Andrzej Sapkowski) has denounced his relationship to it, yet they're claiming it somehow to still have his blessing, and still be be 'The Witcher'.
This jumped out at me too. Cloudflare keeps many diagnostic and debugging tools available only on the Enterprise plan (typically >$3k per month). When something like this happens to most small teams and startups, they are working in the dark even on the Business plan at $200/mo.
This assumes things would have turned out better under a different company. Perhaps Google being Google would have cancelled the project altogether or made it Android only. IBM could have sold it off.

Whilst Oracle does have its issues what is it doing wrong here? As per other comments you don't have to use Oracle's JDK and if you do you're buying support.

Qualified disagreement -- it's all about the word modern.

The Comet airframe was inherently limited by the decision to embed the engines -- de Havilland Ghost turbojets -- in the wing roots. Obviously this wwas great for drag reduction, but it made it difficult to modify the design to accommodate other, more efficient/economical engines. In the end, the attempt to refit the last Comet-descended airframes, the RAF's Nimrod MRA2's to MRA4 spec with Rolls-Royce BR700 turbofans in the 1990s/2000s failed due to spiraling prices because the higher diameter turbofans required substantial redesign/reworking of the wing roots. More here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAE_Systems_Nimrod_MRA4#Delays...

Now compare this to the succssful engine retrofit program for the USAF's KC-135 fleet, which kept them in service for a couple more decades:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_KC-135_Stratotanker#Eng...

Having the engines hung on pods below the wing (or alongside the fuselage) makes them inherently easier to service and easier to upgrade (although problems can emerge if you push it too far, as witness the Boeing 737 MAX crashes).

This isn't to dismiss the Comet completely: it was a pioneering design, broke ground, and was the first trans-Atlantic jet airliner in service. But it had design flaws beyond the infamous metal fatigue problem.
Out of curiosity: Have you tried DeepL.com and, if so, how do the two compare?

It is a pity Concurrent ML didn't take off. F# has a great library called Hopac that implements it, but it is 50 times less popular than its closest competitor Rx.

Also seconding that other post. Actor models and async concurrency are only useful if you need to send messages between machines, but otherwise you want to use synchronous concurrency as it is easier to deal with.
