It's not the blockchain aspect of NFTs that is particularly offensive and relevant here, it's the creation of a speculation market for the selling of textures/jpgs with artificially imposed scarcity. The only difference between what Valve does and NFTs is an irrelevant implementation detail; Valve uses a centralized database instead of a distributed ledger, which is a much smarter engineering decision but it doesn't change the fundamental nature of what they've created.
> You typically serve individual and separate streams of video, audio, and text, sourced from separate files, and your player/browser syncs them.

That's one school of thought. Some of the biggest streaming providers simply serve a single muxed video+audio HLS stream based on bandwidth detection. Doesn't work very well for multi-language prerecorded content of course, but that's just one use case.
According to the Arizona law even if a police officer is beating you, you'd be committing a crime by recording them so long as the police can claim that you were also "INTERFERING WITH LAWFUL POLICE ACTIONS". As long as they scream "stop resisting" at you, you'll probably be a criminal.
Pfizer vaccinated their control group from the initial vaccines, so that long-term study was squashed by Pfizer. And the adverse effects data are still being collected and examined in light of reporting criteria and classification. Yet, the blanket policy to vax everyone without prioritizing by harm-benefit analysis and ignoring the science was not just negligent but intentional to push a social policy over the data. Memory-holing natural immunity was another. If you were engineering a virus to not affect one group, say Chinese, it doesn't mean another group may be unintendedly less affected too, say Ashkenazi Jews. Calling that racist would make genetic testing among Hassidic Jews for genetic predisposition to specific diseases before marrying and producing offspring, what? Science. Given the homogeneity of a large portion of the genetic makeup of China, the Han people, it would be easier to target other races than say it would for Americans to exclude the majority of its diverse population from an engineered virus. And if you truly believe bio-weapon research is not being done by most powerful nations you are naive.
I, broadly, think the House of Lords is a good thing in principle. Having a board of experts who can trounce things like the Illegal Migration Bill's potential for human rights abuse is a good thing.

FYI, the House of Lords can't reject the same bill more than three times, and can't reject a bill that calls an election, so its undemocraticness isn't as bad as you might assume.

There are many issues with it but I don't think many of them are much worse than those that already exist with the House of Commons. (Lobbying: exists in both. Unelectedness: the first past the post system is pretty bad here too. Ability of unelected people to introduce bills: private members' bills exist too).

All of these are problems I'd like solved but I wouldn't support removing the House of Lords.

Yeah, as always, IMMV.

But I do agree that online discourse puts too much emphasis on statically analyzing systems, and too little on adding instrumentation or just breaking it and seeing what happens.

At the same time, my experience is that on practice people put too much emphasis on instrumentation or just breaking it and seeing what happens, and way too little on statically analyzing the system.

Fine. You think lying isn't always wrong. I don't care, it's not important, it's just an example.

Pick literally any other action that you think is always wrong. I'll give you a counterexample where failing to do it is wrong.

"Two wrongs don't make a right" is the 5-year old-level morality platitude that you should be turning your ire against. Because, as you're demonstrating, "Wrong" is entirely contextual. A 'wrong' that mitigates another wrong can make a right.

As for frontend - you could build reusable components and make possible to use them/build upon them. Microsoft made FluentUI to make consistent and usable components across product line. However each product customizes styling slightly and builds their own components that are not opened up... which is pity.

The most questionable part of the "true story" to me was that the soda was named after Dr. Charles T. Pepper because Morrison was in love with his daughter. According to census data, Dr. Pepper's daughter was 5 years old when Morrison was 17 and lived in the same town, and there's no record of Morrison having worked for Dr. Pepper as claimed or having known him at all. But there was another Dr. Pepper who lived a couple houses down from Morrison when he was 17 who had a 16 year old daughter at the time.

Steel industry makes ‘pivotal’ shift towards lower-carbon production
Banning gender affirming care effectively is singling out transgender people and denying them services[0]. Additionally there was a recent Supreme Court decision allowing businesses to discriminate against people[1].

Additionally in living memory, many businesses and government services were segregated by race. In some cases some races were denied access to services or those services were severely underfunded. The legacy of that legal system still has impacts today.

Cube Interestingness: Novelty, Relevance, Peculiarity and Surprise
> It’s important to recognize that this would be a different story had he been ousted and protested or attempted a cover up.

I think it's very early to give a positive judgment for MTL's decision to resign. First of all, the most serious allegation by the Stanford Daily — that MTL knew of fraud at his Genentech lab and made an effort to cover it up — is still denied by MTL, Stanford, and Genentech.

Either MTL & Genentech are lying, or the Daily made a mistake in its reporting. As of now, the Daily still stands by its reporting and Theo Baker published a follow-up about how Stanford's investigation may have been fundamentally flawed [0]

But let's assume that the Daily is wrong, MTL's resignation statement omitted any accountability for the lesser but still damning charge: negligent leadership that fostered a research culture optimized (inadvertently or not) for fraud. As the Daily puts it:

> The report concluded that the fudging of results under Tessier-Lavigne’s purview “spanned labs at three separate institutions.” It identified a culture where Tessier-Lavigne “tended to reward the ‘winners’ (that is, postdocs who could generate favorable results) and marginalize or diminish the ‘losers’

In MTL's letter to Stanford [1], he limits his culpability to not being diligent enough in correcting the errors and alleged fraud, all of which were the fault of his subordinates:

> I agree that in some instances I should have been more diligent when seeking corrections, and I regret that I was not. The Panel’s review also identified instances of manipulation of research data by others in my lab. Although I was unaware of these issues, I want to be clear that I take responsibility for the work of my lab members.

> ...These findings have also caused me to further reassess the processes and controls I have in place. While I continually maintain a critical eye on all the science in my lab, I have also always operated my lab on trust – trust in my students and postdocs, and trust that the data they were presenting to me was real and accurate.

I get that there's a limit to how much self-flagellation he can do right now, but he's basically limited his culpability to: "my biggest weakness is that I respect and trust my colleagues and students too much!" In this era of Stanford-associated stories like Theranos and FTX, the prospect and danger of a leader who fosters fraudulent "winners" is something that should be addressed explicitly.

Your comparison is a bit disingenuous. I thought that the reasonable point of comparison was obvious, so let me state it in case it's not:

* For this C program: Let's say a default install of a Debian system, with GCC and Make installed. Nothing else. Just clone and run make && ./bin/nms.

* For an hypothetical JavaScript implementation: Same Debian system, with Node.js installed. Nothing else. Just clone and run node ./src/nms.js.

Now tell me that the second point would ever happen, of course without the obvious trick of vendoring tens or hundreds of dependencies in the repo itself. Given the current trends and ecosystem incentives in the JS development world, I highly doubt it.

These trends only favor mindless composition, of which the latter is good, but the former is bad. IMHO most devs would probably not even consider the idea of writing a compact, self-contained piece of code and have their own termio [1] or charset [2] implementations, to begin with.

mRNA vaccines have been studied for decades. Vaccinations in general, for significantly longer.

Specifically, how many studies, and for what length, would you have been satisfied with? What is your specific epidemiological and medical background that led you to decide on that length of time? What is the specific number of elderly deaths you would have allowed, before giving people the completely optional ability to take those vaccines?

I ask none of those questions in bad faith, but I'm rather tired of the 'no no no no' attitude on the right, where nothing was ever going to be good enough and the real answer you want is that we should've vaccinated no one at all, ever.
Reality requires bias.

Without bias and interpretation omniscients is required. A human mind does not have the luxury of knowing everything. We have limited compute power, and limited time. Furthermore our systems only have capabilities for limited data. We have to filter against junk or our systems get overwhelmed, but deciding what is junk is also a bias.

The best we can do is state our biases, and design our systems to reflect or biases properly. If others don't like those biases they are free to create their own systems that reflect their biases.
Yeah, many corrupt politicians, fascists, murderers and other criminals would love the idea that "the past is not true". I'd bet that the story is fake because of the conclusion "you can change history".

Without weighing in on the merits, I didn't even look for emulators in Steam for my Deck. I installed ("sideloaded", if you will) EmuDeck in Desktop mode and that was a much nicer experience. Deck-aware controls and unified hotkeys (quit, save/load).

But also, Dolphin was also the only emulator which needed a lot of additional tweaking from the EmuDeck defaults. Wii games have a combinatoric explosion of control schemes (wiimote, sideways wiimote, +nunchuk, +classic controller, +pro gyro thingy, balance board, light gun, etc) and there are really no sensible defaults. Dolphin won't remember layouts per-game, you need to do some launcher gymnastics to make that happen.
Perhaps even better than the the other two.

You make it sound so straightforward and simple.

> and then you do the experiments and see if the idea works or not

The problem is "if the idea works or not" can be very fuzzy. With a little p-hacking, anything can work! If nothing in your original data/experiment supports your hypothesis, you can just cherry pick some part of it that gives "significant" results.
Man, I get that there are locations where getting a high paying job also means that 100-200k can mean a surprisingly sparse lifestyle for what most people would expect, but there is nowhere in the US there is no where in the US where you are earning 600k that dropping down to 200k should break your family.

We’re you not putting away any sort of money for emergencies? Do you need to stay at the now theoretical 200k job even if cost of living in the area remains the same, or could you move to somewhere lower cost of living?

I see in your other comments that you would end up in a divorce if you had to lower your lifestyle, and then you described what is still above the average persons lot in life in the US by even owning a home (cramped and by the highway or not).

You and your spouse should get some therapy on why your’re so materialistic, or just accept that you are and then deal with living in a system that will drop you the second it can.
