No, I'm using data driven research to invalidate improperly analyzed data driven research. I pointed to research that shows that banning screen time is wrong for older kids, and I've pointed to this very paper, which says that it can't rule out that it is good for very young children when used properly. Why are you so insistent on ignoring the article?

I presented the anecdotes because they are the only evidence I know of that does control for parental negligence in screen time for very young children.

You only recognize a sharp distinction in hindsight.

I think one big problem (among many) with science education is that we only learn the end results and take too many things for granted as a result. I find that science can be immensely more fascinating when understood through a historical lens, trying to understand the goals and assumptions and mental frameworks, open questions at the times of important breakthroughs.

I hear you. There are too many dependencies to even dig into each of them, or even one of them.

On the other hand, it could start a journey to contributing if the fix is small enough and picqued your curiosity (time notwithstanding).

One (suboptimal) approach is to put one's foot down and say, "Okay, from here I will only allow my own tools to express my understanding, and nothing else is allowed."

So begins a tree of infinite prerequisites, and we become frozen at the first step of a million leaves. At least, we have enough source code to embark on any number of expeditions.

Practically speaking, I understand the desire is to build upwards versus reflecting below.
> Can you share evidence that US regulators are holding US-based social media companies to all of these same requirements?

This is whataboutism, but I'll answer anyway.

This article concerns the actions of a US governmental agency known as CFIUS.

CFIUS is not concerned with domestic issues, but rather foreign intrusions that impair national security: foreign businesses spying on US soil, foreign entities buying controlling interests in US companies and technologies, foreign real estate purchases near sensitive locations, etc. It is a regulatory body that can block sales and mergers and put a stop to such activities.

CFIUS wants the ability to audit TikTok so that it can ascertain the extent to which is or can be used to spy on US targets. From this data, they can themselves block certain business activities or recommend further actions to be taken by the government.

I disagree here as an avid user of containers. Profiles are still a better separation between personas I have my "home" profile and "work" profile in FF and they are trivially launched with `firefox -P "name"` and keep all data completely separated.
Too many bells and whistles, just give me a good grand piano sound with a mini size touch sensitive keyboard.

The OP-1 could be that, but the keys look awkward, have very little travel, and I don't really believe you can fix touch sensitivity as an afterthought with a software update, though I could be wrong.
I'll bet you most who complain about inequality are just salty they are not the ones with the $100M yacht. And would happily claw their way to the top if given the opportunity e.g. a bloody revolution. Me, I like my $200 big screen TV, my comfy trailer, cheap gas and electricity and prefer to enjoy them in peace.

Now those who really have a case against inequality probably don't even have a voice and live invisibly in third world countries, providing the above amenities the Western "poor" take advantage of.

> Early on, Fouchier told Science that he had created “probably one of the most dangerous viruses you can make.” But after controversy broke out, as the science communicator Peter Sandman has written, Fouchier and his supporters shifted to downplaying the danger. In early 2013, flu scientists ended their voluntary pause, arguing that when the research was done at enhanced biosafety level 3, or BSL3+, the benefits outweighed the risks. Kawaoka, who was normally the more taciturn of the two, hosted journalists in his lab, where he explained his safety procedures. “The influenza virus is sensitive to detergent,” he reportedly said while explaining the process of showering out. “They die.” A biosafety staffer at the University of Wisconsin got up before a university audience to dispel what she called myths about lab oversight. The address was broadcast on local television.

> Then, months later, Kawaoka’s lab saw two accidents involving lab-generated flu viruses, just one week apart.

> The accidents, a spill and a needle prick, carried a low risk of infection. Flu viruses are typically transferred through respiratory droplets, not skin contact or injection. Nonetheless, in letters obtained by The Intercept, staff at a funding agency accused the university of shirking biosafety precautions that Kawaoka had promised to adopt. They also demanded changes to the University of Wisconsin–Madison’s protocol for accidental lab exposures. Of particular concern was a plan to quarantine all researchers exposed to modified H5N1 at home, even if they were at high risk of infection — an approach that the funding agency administrators found so alarming that they threatened to end the lab’s grant unless the university changed course.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Progressively increasing asset taxes are the way. Make it more expensive to control a lot of resources to counteract the natural monopoly effect that comes from controlling large amounts of resources.
I worked for a company until 2011 that developed and licensed a shopping cart where Authorize.net was our most preferred processor. We could do others but Authorize.net had the best integration. Even in 2011 Authotize.net’s site and API just felt super old.
The ask is to flatten a multidimensional space into a 2D plane, so out of the gate you're going to have problems. A really good architectural diagram doesn't have a lot of crossed lines, but you can only really do that when you have a small number of nodes or when the dataflow is broadly unidirectional.

The interview is inherently unfair - when you use a drawing tool to build diagrams the work is iterative, but erasing marker during an interview looks like you've made a mistake.

Start with a small top-level diagram, then build a hierarchy of increasingly detailed diagrams. Use the opportunity to steer the interviewer ("which area would you like to see in more detail?"). It also helps to have an understanding of how small bits of code map to graphical sketches, so that you can compose them later.

Also, keep in mind that issues like poor handwriting and sloppy lines are exacerbated by large detailed diagrams.

But doesn't coffee contain 10 to 100X the amount of caffeine than say a bottle of soda? I always thought you had to go to the bathroom after drinking coffee because coffee had so much caffeine. But that's purely conjecture. Makes me also wonder whether caffeine is toxic if your body wants to expel it. More conjecture.

Lessons from Antarctica about Raising Kids in the Climate Crisis
Going to say the unsaid here: Why tf are Ethiopians trying to enter Saudi from Yemen (an active war zone) for economic reasons? Ethiopia has it's shit together! It's becoming one of Africa's success stories!

It feels like there's a growing sentiment of "you can just move anywhere you want, there's no reason to try to fix where you are, if you can make a bit more money somewhere just move there, you have a right to." That might fly in Sweden but it absolutely is not true about 90% of the world, and the people that enforce those norms aren't always going to be friendly.

Saudi doesn't give a shit about HRW, and they don't give a shit about Twitter outrage. Neither does Myanmar, or China, etc. You cannot just force your way into these places because you don't want to make it work in your homeland (which, again, is booming economically: https://www.afdb.org/en/countries/east-africa/ethiopia/ethio...)

Obviously, no one should be murdered for trying to cross a border. That doesn't mean you won't be - and the growing amount of migration means this will keep happening. Particularly when it's "choice migration" - these aren't people going to Kenya or Djibouti.
>For instance it mentions how troublesome it is to use profiles as a "problem". Don't. Use containers. Hundred times more smooth than profiles. Hence why no one cares about making profiles in Fx better, there is already a better solution to the problem profiles solve.

One of my favorite things to do in SF, and I've done it a handful of times, is to rent a bike at the Embarcadero, and bike to Sausalito across the Golden Gate Bridge, have ice cream at Lappert's, wander around, and take the ferry back. Just wonderful days.
It’s different because WASM is much more strictly defined and has a more limited scope than Python. Thanks to WASM, browsers don’t have be able to understand Python/PyScript. The trade-off is that you can’t, for example, view/edit the Python code in the browser’s devtools.

A WASM-like approach wouldn’t work very well for Excel, because you’re supposed to be able to edit the source code/formulas within the Excel application.

Definitely check out PyScript if you haven't already. It works pretty well and is being actively developed. (Full disclosure: I work for Anaconda, which is the primary developer.)
I work in platarch and I'll fully admit that my diagrams aren't the best, pretty ugly tbh. The people who do great diagrams typically have a lot of experience drawing them on whiteboards during meetings. It just hasn't been something I've done much and do it even less now that WFH. If you want to improve I'd recommend getting a whiteboard for your office and just start using it, then also learn mermaid or whatever language/app you want to use.

I did use to make diagrams all the time when I was a field engineer for a distro company. Getting one of those small wacom tablets is really helpful in that case. I could draw in whatever app I was using at the time like draw.io or diagramly, I forget.

I guess if we're all WFH now the latter is more important.. not sure if I'll ever have to whiteboard again..

Also, I ran across this today, making diagrams as gifs. Really interesting. Way too much work for me, though - https://aws.plainenglish.io/aws-architecture-in-motion-creat...

Hi, article author here, we supplement our architecture diagrams with Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) https://github.com/joelparkerhenderson/architecture-decision... in the ADR we capture:
- options considered
- pros/cons of different options
- chosen option
- who was involved in making the decision

there are a few other fields like component, product etc these are very useful for capturing decisions and something I should have mentioned in the article.
Depends on what you mean by usable. If you don't need long term support, strong software ecosystem support, and performance parity, it's great. It'll be a few more years before everything comes together, but hopefully not too many.
The downsides: the keys have zero travel, and these instruments look like a toy.

When I have stayed for some time in Germany about twenty years ago, everything was still as expected from that reputation of perfect punctuality.

When I have stayed again for some time in Germany about ten years ago, in the same cities, everything was changed. A train that was not delayed was a miracle instead of being normal. Also everything was much dirtier, instead of being spotless, as before.

It was a quite shocking change after only ten years.

You wouldn't recover the propane at the exhaust of the car. Instead, you'd have a fixed hydro/solar/wind renewable energy installation, spending ~25 kWh on an atmospheric capture program, or less if you can get it from more concentrated flue gasses coming off an industrial furnace/ammonia plant/cement plant, and then ~200 kWh to convert that CO2 by this process into 100 kWh worth of LPG.

It's not viable (in terms of energy availability, packaging, or economies of scale) to run that sort of cryogenic high-pressure CO2 purification and storage system on the exhaust pipe of a vehicle. I could maybe imagine a solar installation with this attached being viable at, say, a remote farm with LPG-powered agricultural vehicles, or if I stretch my imagination to scifi timescales (and think about the number of remarkable compressors installed at scale in HVAC systems) to suburban homes with rooftop solar.
Have you thought about adding car, cdr, and cons? You wouldn't need to shell out to subprocesses if you had the full list of minimal lisp primitives.

Technically you also need cond, eq?, and pair? (because car and cdr only take pairs not symbols).
i have been looking at elvish from time to time (ever since we met in beijing :-). but i am missing two key features:

autosuggestion: type something and then suggest a command from the history that matches what i typed.

non-incremental history: if the autosuggestion is not the right one, use arrow keys to search for a better one.

fish has both.

zsh has a module for autosuggestion. but if the suggestion is wrong then i have start search and retype what i just wrote. i want to avoid having to type twice.

another feature i am looking for is renaming files in place:

instead of: 'mv oldname newname;' i want something like 'rename oldname; enter;' and now allow me to edit 'oldname' into 'newname'. very often the filenames are long and i only want to change a few characters in it. having to retype the whole filepath when using mv can lead to errors.
Aren't people interested with that kind of retro console really more interested in scoring an Sony Trinitron and the original console in the second hand market instead?

I don't see the newer generation getting suddenly attracted by the primitive graphics. Only the nostalgic, hardcore retro gamers do really care about that. And these are the kind of people who want the exact real experience, which mean using a CRT TV/monitor and the real machine. Only concession they sometimes do is using a cartdridge with sdcard support.

And it is not like those old Ataris are rare and difficult to find which would justify the existence of alternatives. I see a few ones available for around ~50€ in the local market, less than half the price of that thing.
There's a phrase you should probably learn. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
CFIUS closely works with US intelligence agencies. That in itself isn't damning. But it also bears pointing out that the NSA also doesn't have authority over or interest in ordinary US citizens and is ostensibly 100% concerned with foreign intrusion of national security. Actual activities can and do go much further than intelligence agencies' public mandate.
What a coincidence, I had that discussion with my friends yesterday.

We came to conclusions that the scenarios of rebuilding society back up are based on the type of collapse. The greater drop (destruction events) and greater time gap before rebuilding can start anew the harder it would get.

A dark age collapse - worst case scenario - where people slowly loose knowledge over generations - due to lack of institutions to protect the knowledge, sounds like a game over scenario. Small clusters of agrarian people would not have resources to support an engineering department tasked with preserving knowledge that is useless for time being.

Slowly the tech that could have been re-used or restarted would deteriorate beyond usability, and then beyond repeatability.

Its a scary scenario, probably good basis for a book series... there is probably plenty of novels written with that scenario already ;)

For me, the intuitive way of understanding it is, "how badly would a gambler lose in the long term, if they keep betting on a game believing the probability distribution is X but it is in actual fact Y". It also explains why KL divergence is assymetric, and why it goes to infinity / undefined when the expected probability distribution has zeros where the true distribution has non-zeros. Suppose an urn can have red, blue and green balls. If the true distribution (X) is that there are no red balls at all, but the gambler believes (Y) that there is a small fraction of red balls, the gambler would lose a bit of money with every bet on red, but overall the loss is finite. But suppose the gambler beleives (Y) there are absolutely no red balls in the urn, but in actual fact (X) there is some small fraction of them. According to the gambler's beliefs it would be rational to gamble potentially infinite money on the ball not being red, so the loss is potentially infinite. There is a parallel here to data compression, transmission, etc (KL divergence between expected and actual distributions in information theory) - if you believe a certain bit sequence will never occur in the input sequence, you won't assign it a code, and so if it ever does actually occur you won't be able to transmit it at all ("infinite loss"). If you beleive it will occur very infrequently, you will assign it a very long code, and so if it actually occurs very frequently your output data will be very long (large loss, large KL divergence).

Yes, if you want to be nitpicking then government money is tax money.

However that means that cost of the sick leave is spread over the whole society and not a single company, or single manager’s budget, making it easier to accept for business owners.

That’s why Europeans typically do not have to worry about being paid for sick leave, unlike Americans.

I havent been able to uninstall Chrome. Everyone makes sure they test their website for Chrome. Firefox/Safari just don't have devs testing on them.

I currently have Firefox for most things, but I seemingly always have chromium open to check to see if a website isnt behaving correctly.

What a terrible time for computing. Chrome is in total control of web. Nvidia + M$ have complete control of high performance computing, and M$ sucks. Apple captures tons of attention and time with their marketing but has low quality products.
Because their examples are always "it's not exactly the same as Chrome devtools, it has all of the same features but they aren't a pixel perfect replication!".
The text indicates that they are trying to spy on the company, not the users. And this is a logical attempt if you don't trust the companies masters. Isn't china basically doing the same with every company, just in other ways?

Interesting that it was dismissed without reasoning, which will be provided in a week or so. I wonder what the reason is for notifying the parties of the dismissal prior to providing the reasoning. Why not just wait until the clerks are done writing it up, and then tell the parties then?
While Lisp is my preferred normally my go-to language, tbh I think sed or awk are probably adequate and, already being installed, probably in some sense “better”.

I don't think expense is the driving force here. It would be even less expensive to simply let the worker work remotely. The reason a company wouldn't do this is that it would send an unacceptable message about worker power. If some workers could get exceptions to a new unpopular rule, then why can't everyone? And if everyone could, why have the rule at all? This does not serve the interests of the company's power structure.
