Interesting. What it didn’t cover is people who rage against them.

It also didn’t cover types of trigger warnings, referred to people who consider trauma part of their “core identity”, and use self reporting of ptsd. I find any online survey that uses self reporting to define the population to be lesser quality. Like when pre-Kinsey researchers did the self reported penis size study.
Perversely, this is almost the exact opposite of how to solve the problem.

Speaking from experience, the real problem with scientific data (genomics, in particular) is when it is exchanged in plain-text format and then loaded IN to Excel. Automatic type inference is what fails.

Data already in Excel format can be created/modified/exchanged without unintentional conversion if the column type is correctly specified as "TEXT".
That's totally fair. Perhaps the confusion could have been avoided by qualifying in your initial comment that you're referring to a specific situation i.e. not-too-technical analysts writing ad hoc code.
The moral reason to tax wealth is because gross (and accelerating) inequity is unfair. We're way past the era of the landed gentry extracting rents from the poors. Err, I mean we should be.

The practical reason to tax wealth is to keep the money moving. Idle capital (hoarding) is its own special badness.

Keep the money moving. Either the wealthy spend their money (R&D, philanthropy, building cool new stuff, ice cream for all) or the people will spend it for them.

Add to the list via comments if you think I've missed some items.
I think you simply missed my point twice.

>> "Some external circumstances could change reducing them to a pile of oxides"

(or some other transformations I guess in case of fire.)

That was precisely not what I was talking about (or put another way if you still require abundant explicitness): not the kind of immortality I was describing. Maybe I was not clear enough.

> For example, a star could hypothetically fall into another much larger than it and prolong its life

Well, once again:

>> Of course they can still be impacted by external effects, but sustaining their own internal processes does not require such inputs
I think we will need to abolish trusts as well as imposing a wealth tax.
My business classes have a lot of methods that return tuples that look like this.

(bool HasFailed, string Status)

Also yes tuples do support generics.
The last one is great:

> Out of order, please do not open

> [opens door]

> [finds food]

And it's not like it's the cooling unit that broke, you can see when the door is open it's still one big area connected to the working one next to it.
About time... a big win for geneticists.
Or just abolish corporate taxes and tax individuals more and be done with it.
Why is it unthinkable to make billionaires generate some income to pay taxes? I pay property taxes on the "unrealized capital gains" of my house, and somehow I make it work.
Well at least the first two are paying for an asset, whereas the insurance payments are paying for something nebulous that you may or may not need. The ideal insurance premium is $0/month.
My understanding is that some of the Toyota cars also use Lexus motors under the hood. It might say Toyota, but it's the same motor on a Lexus.
That is the opinion of the author, Tony Kane who is the founder of Time and Leisure Magazine.

He has no background in car manufacturing, battery research etc or unique insight into Toyota's roadmap. With all due respect to him I don't think his opinion is worth all that much.
That's obviously the case, but what would you have Microsoft do about it?

> writing <nav class="nav"> if you can just write <nav>

Pure semantic CSS only works if you have a strict html document structure - where eg every h1 is an article heading. Any hint of "components" (like an image gallery, navigation menu) become way too fragile with pure CSS because you will be trapped when trying to get the correct specificity.

I agree that class names that match element names is a bit of a smell - but might be forgiven in this particular case, if html nav elements are used in different contexts.
Taxation does not equal better quality of life for citizens. The only ones proposing this myth are the ones who need more revenue to justify the obscene amounts of debt they leverage with it - and, that's governments.
I assume you're talking about attestation here, not authentication? My question is, as always:

> At least none of the existing implementations do.

So why isn't that in the spec?

Unless something has changed in the past month or so, the only reason why attestation for roaming keys is less of an issue is because Apple has voluntarily completely of its own volition decided to zero out information in its implementation. That's turned out not to be enough; it's trivial to find accounts online of people complaining that they've tried to register passkeys from alternate providers and have found out that websites are checking browser agents or using other measures to restrict which keys can be registered.

But ignoring that and only focusing on actual attestation using the mechanisms that FIDO has built into WebAuthn, why is an Open standard relying on Apple's goodwill for such an important decision? Why do we have a standard that specifies how to lock down devices through hardware attestation and that relies on providers optionally choosing to do the right thing and ignore that mechanism, but that thinks it would be overreaching for the Alliance to mandate ecosystem transfer or to block discrimination against providers/authenticators?
The market based approach states that if the demand is there, supply will come online if profitable. In this case it doesn't seem like the cost is more than $100-200 incremental, which isn't outlandish.

If enough people buy unsafe firearms and then are subsequently jailed for negligence, or the companies are sued out of existence, I would imagine the safe version would organically emerge.
Basically it is so your smart TV can upload all your watch information without getting you to cough up your wifi password. Soon when you buy a toilet seat it will have a 5G modem in it and upload your bowel movement information to the cloud automatically. The possibilities are endless.

This may be what enables compact high energy gamma ray sources. One example application is scanning cargo containers etc for hidden fissionable material by causing photofission and detecting the neutrons. Very few things emit lots of neutrons when hit with gamma rays below 10 MeV that aren't proliferation related. Gamma rays also don't really activate materials, so scanning something in this way doesn't create radioactive material.

Is there a plan to allow you to import SVG's and pad or cut from them?

I was using some freecad a bit, but importing and manipulating an svg onto an object was very painful. I'm sure some of it was due to inexperience, but I have simple requirements, so if there is a simple tool that allows that (along with the other expected basics), it would be very useful for me.

DHL.

Past summer, they managed to not-deliver a shipment from .de->.nl - TWICE.

In both cases, package was returned to sender without any attempt to make delivery at a nearby pickup point, leave for a few days @ DHL sorting center, contact sender or addressee to ask how to proceed, or me being able to stop them returning the package.

Address info was correct, and pickup point was where address said, available & open. If I can believe tracking info, DHL delivery truck had even been there!?

This played out over 2 weeks. Extremely frustrating. All forms of support I tried, had no info, were powerless to do anything, and unable to provide a solution.

Same product ordered through Amazon (also coming from a .de warehouse), last mile delivery through Dutch postal service (PostNL) with exact same delivery method: 2-day delivery no problem whatsoever.

In the past I've had very few problems shipping or receiving packages. But on one ocassion an (at the time expensive) digital camera was lost in transit. No compensation. Guess who? Also DHL on that one.

Reading some reports online, I gathered this was not an exception. I get it: with a company that handles millions of packages, mistakes are made. That is not the problem. It's how mistakes are handled (and that is how I tend to judge services / companies).

In that last aspect, DHL acted, well.. next-level incompetent. It makes me view that companies' culture as being uninterested in doing their job well, (on occasion) going the extra mile to get the job done, or fix a mistake. Just: cash shipping $$ from sender, make minimal effort to 'keep up appearances', f%# anything beyond that.

Which made me conclude: I do not want to have my belongings handled by DHL ever again, if I can avoid it. Webshop only ships through them? Sorry then, it just lost a sale.
Do you ever worry you may end up on the wrong side of the "wrong think" morality?
I think your calculation is wrong.

There are plenty of things you can do in life that are productive and provide you with leisure time that don’t also mean you can destroy the lives of others.

You might as well argue for slave labor. Because that’s certainly one way to be productive and have a lot of leisure time. But it’s wrong. None of this exists in a vacuum. Why should other people suffer so you can have free time?

Find a better way.
Chrome has had a bug for ~6 months where for certain TLDs, it searches instead of going to the typed url. It happens for .no. Google isn't incentivized to fix it, since they now most likely get a visitor on their search page and earn some money.

Combined with a different issue, this is fairly dangerous: Google allows fake scam websites to pay to get the top ad. Above the URL you ended up searching for.

There are cases of people writing skatteetaten.no (our IRS) in Chrome, ending up in google search instead, and they then click the top result which is a phishing site stealing their credentials.

I think we need to start treating extreme wealth hoarding as a mental illness. If someone has a net worth of more than a $billion for an appreciable amount of time, then they should be locked up to protect the world from their malfeasance and prevent them exploiting yet more people. A possible exception would be when someone inherits a vast fortune, and maybe they should be allowed some time to demonstrate that they are giving away wealth, though obviously a billion dollars is such an obscene amount of money that giving it away is going to take years.
It's called "Buy, Borrow, Die" -- in that scheme no one ever pays capital gains tax.

Yeah I received a similar email as well.

YC has a funky hodgepodge of React on Rails for their website, and it could use a major update considering they’re the leading tech incubator.

I emailed Dang about it, and he suggested that I build a product that solves this issue instead.

I ended up building a prototype on top of Docusaurus, and received a ton of developer feedback.

We’ve been working on it for about 6 months consistently now, and we’ve made huge progress on a simple CMS and content framework that would solve all of YC’s issues such as this accidental newsletter blast.

My goal with this project is to upgrade the YC website, as well as Paul Graham’s.

What do you’all think?

I think that would quickly degenerate into whomever could work the least and also maximize profits. Also, not everyone is creating something in which they can take pride. Most jobs are just jobs for money to pay for things that people really want...like more free time.

Sending certified mail in the United States absolutely does not require showing any identification at all. You can even do it all online.
>The poorest 10% of Americans pay more – 25.6%.

Is that correct? I thought anyone below the poverty line paid 0% income tax, and would just have to pay sales tax. And property tax, gas tax, social security tax, and inflation, which is a secret hidden tax. But still, 25% sounds high.
I had a good experience with AWS Elastic Beanstalk. Basically Heroku on AWS. I used it with Docker, but they support having a definition file like Heroku's Procfile as well. It abstracts most of the underlying infra like EC2 and VPCs if you don't want to get into that. It also gives you access to everything else AWS has like RDS. Upgrade paths are simple as well since you're on AWS.
Yeah, I'm aware, though I've heard good things about the reliability of Lexus cars too. In all fairness, Lexus feels like the affordable Luxury car when you consider the price of other luxury cars.
And the reverse is true.
It isn’t misleading, Kotelniki (the place in the article) is as much a part of Moscow oblast as Khimki or Domodedovo. And people routinely just refer to those areas as Moscow all the time. Beyond that, Moscow subway transit system goes to Kotelniki as well, I just doublechecked that.

Here is an analogy that might help those familiar with the US: it is kind of like Yonkers is to NYC, Chicago suburbs are to Chicago the city, or Burbank is to Los Angeles.
Exactly, I thought this was in fact the whole premise of tailwind. Scattering it directly through the html is just for testing or special cases.
The Lexus brand was created to sell Americans expensive Toyotas, because when they entered the market there was an inherent perception of Japanese cars as cheap.

Internationally a bunch of cars that have a Lexus badge in America have a Toyota badge on them.

Lexus is Toyota. In Japan, they are branded as Toyota, hood symbol and all. They just market them differently in the West.

The same thing goes for the Acura / Honda distinction.
I'm sorry but it got too expensive and hence lost its main advantage. These days I use second-hand desktop mini-pcs that cost minimally more than the full Rpi set (charger, CD card, case, SBC) but are much more powerful. For anything involving WiFi/IoT, I use ESP32 - far less expensive and very easy to use. And for cases where WiFi is not needed, we have tons of interesting solutions and few reasons to use the Pi.

It seems to me that the issue might be that most companies don't consider doing right for their team members to be one of their objectives. Therefore, effort that a leader spends on doing right for their team is viewed as a liability.
I'm not sure the car comparison is a good one, given that their inflated sizes prevented us from actually saving fuel... Most of our modern industrial complex is by and large wasteful on resources, computing is no different.
Toyota and Lexus are the same company. Much as Infiniti is a division of Nissan and Acura is a division of Honda. In fact, the renowned original Acura NSX is the Honda NSX in much of the rest of the world.

With very few examples, that route didn't work out well much, and in way the "successful" national or state sponsored enterprises where not necessarily nice.

That isn't to say public utilities cannot be successful, but starting them by trying to modify something existing instead of devolved (where applicable) and bespoke entities that don't hold the power of the state as such might be a nicer way.

Twitter, the company, took out a loan as part of the financing to help Musk close. That is why Twitter desperately needs to return a profit. Because it now has to service that loan.

Those are different things.

EDIT: For reference it looked like he originally was going to back the loan with Tesla shares—so he wouldn't have to sell. It looks like he abandoned that idea and sold about $15.5B shares of Tesla to finance the deal. Maybe that's where the confusion is from?
