No, it should always be up to individual choice. There is no “ideal” because you can’t substitute your preferences for those of others.

To hit the 100% number you would have to prematurely kill many people that die peacefully but unexpectedly, and then forcibly kill many people who want to die naturally.
Most users have never even heard of Firefox. I just installed it on someone's phone yesterday, along with uBO; they had never heard of it before, but were very excited about being able to watch YouTube without ads. My social circle isn't very large, so me helping occasional non-technical users install FF+uBO on their phones isn't going to affect the numbers very much.

Even in the tech company I work in (not an adtech company), most people use Chrome, not Firefox.
The book Sperm Wars talked about an interesting research about the number of sex partners for men and women. Is is well-known that men report double the amount of sex partners than women. People typically think this can be explained by men bragging i.e. exaggerating their numbers.

Researchers repeated the test by hooking men and women to a lie detector. While tge number of sex partners reported by men dropped a little, the interesting thing was that the number of sex partners reported by women raised a lot. Ultimately they were very close to each other.

I think the social stigma for women is higher for number of partners in general, and that explains the tendency to downplay numbers.
Thank you. Yeah, fixing a laptop for working would also work I believe.
I still don't think your point makes a lot of sense. C# and Java aren't going to protect you from writing bad code. I've had to do enough re-writes to remove RestSharp from codebases to know that C# developers aren't exactly "good" at using C# or it's standard toolage. So in that sense, it's very similar to Rust.

You're right of course. It's very easy to write shitty code with much futher reaching consequences in C++, but I've never really experienced it. Like, we use Typescript for basically everything (not because we necessarily like Typescript but because it allows us to share developer resources across basically everything) but when we need performance we turn to C or C++. We also use C and C++ for embedded, but that's mostly because we kind of have to. We'll eventually turn to Rust exactly because it offers some of the benefits you talk about from Java or C# without any of the downsides.

I know both Java and C# have large fanbases, and for Java at least, there is good reason behind that, but even if you went that road in 2023, I'm not sure why you wouldn't follow the good people at places like Lunar and simple turn to Go. Unless of course you're stuck with some huge legacy codebase, which in itself is a very good reason to stick with Java.

> They feel they dont need benchmarks, because their language is "fast".

It's not though. Even if you use Java or C# you're eventually going to need to turn to C and C++ for better computation. I know a lot of medium sized C# houses never get there, but maybe there is a reason C# is basically only used by companies that stagnate at a certain size?
Best value I've found is a just a cheap USB switcher for the keyboard and mouse and use the monitor input switch for video. Might not work for all use cases, but if you just have 2 computers you want to switch between it works pretty well.

It is uncharitable to Marx to simplify his whole work down to a "theory of material conditions". It would be hard to find a modern Western anthropologist or a sociologist who wouldn't be indebted (pun intended) to Marx.

There is a famous phrase attributed to Milton Friedman, "We are all Keynesians now". Even if many economists may not share his view, his mode of thinking has been deeply integrated into modern economics. The similar thing can be said about Marx in relation to the kind of anthropology and sociology Graeber was doing.
I didn’t even know he was sick
If it was known to be optimal I think people would pay a lot of money for that.

If you were given access to a matchmaking oracle who could tell you who the absolute perfect love of your life is in exchange for $10,000 (they offer financing), would you do it?
Why? It's literally free money. Stick it into an low risk investment account or even a money market account, give it back at the end and keep the interest.

People should be held accountable for their own stupidity, and it's not like the company did anything deceptive AFAIU. If an adult doesn't understand what a loan is then that's on them (or their education, but that doesn't absolve their responsibility).

> But shouldn’t your moral stances be determined when you are clear-eyed, and are thinking about society as a whole rather than your personal situation?

No. If your morals are conditional, they are not morals.
No. The focus is on far-future speculative medical technology. Cryonicists tend to be very concerned about making sure that cryonics organizations are fiscally solvent for many decades in to the future, so they can keep everyone cold.

My attitude is, I think the odds of cryonics working are a lot higher than the odds from praying to $diety. If I'm gonna be dying anyways, no reason not to roll the dice.

Finally:

"Dr. Sonu Gaind, psychiatrist-in-chief at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto, expressed concern about how the report describes people who accessed MAID whose natural deaths were not reasonably foreseeable. According to the report, 3.5 per cent of all MAID recipients — 463 people — did not have reasonably foreseeable deaths."

A small percentage, true, but it will grow absent efforts to limit these situations.
I feel like you’re restating, or at least stating, the obvious takeaway: don’t ask out repeatedly or insist.

It’s okay to ask, but learn to take a hint.
I wish parents would respect religious disbelief of their kids as much as scientists respect religious beliefs.
These aren't studies, just anecdotes, and the actual study quoted in the NYT shows the opposite:

> One study commissioned by NEC and conducted by researchers at the University of Utah showed that people using a dual-display machine to do a text-editing task were 44 percent more productive than those who used a single monitor.

I think it's fair to say that any research from 2014 isn't the most relevant now. Both screen size and (importantly) software has changed to better support both multiple screen usage as well as large screens.

The argument for single screens in the NYT is mostly that it reduces distractions:

> But for most people, the time spent juggling two windows or scrolling across large documents isn’t the biggest bottleneck in getting work done. Instead, there’s a more basic, pernicious reason you feel constantly behind — you’re getting distracted.

This seems to indicate they were comparing a maximized window on a single screen vs non-maximized windows on multiple screens, and probably in the days before modern notifications on desktop OSs.

Based on this it is fair to say more research is needed, but it is inaccurate to claim that studies support the idea that one monitor is better.

Yes, somehow people forget that Tokyo bombing was even costlier in human lives than either Hiroshima or Nagasaki.

Then the military usefulness, and the morality, of these fire bombing would deserve to be questioned as much as the atomic bombing (they may even have prolonged the war, by strengthening the Japanese resolve)
yea he is, a pretty amazing one
I did not go too deep into what I mean by social status. I actually do not think women rate men on attributes like education/job title/car/wealth that are typically associated with social status, but more with dominance, and height is one proxy attribute for dominance -- lack of above-average height is a good indicator that men is likely not very dominant.

The article uses a survey about personal opinions as the source for its judgement. Right in the first paragraph (emphasis mine):

> A *survey* conducted in early 2019 by TODAY found that more than one-half of women, compared with one-third of men, *believe* gender discrimination in patient care is a serious problem. One in five women *say they have felt* that a health care provider has ignored or dismissed their symptoms, and 17% say they feel they have been treated differently because of their gender—compared with 14% and 6% of men, respectively.

This does not address GP's complaint regarding men being more likely to refuse to see a doctor in the first place. Does patient gender discrimination occur in the medical space? Probably. But nothing in this article addresses GP's claim of "Men are far more likely to 'tough it out' i.e. refuse to see a doctor when they have symptoms of illness".

This journal article discusses gender disparities regarding coronary heart disease (CHD) diagnoses, with doctors believing that their male diagnoses are more confident than their female diagnoses.

Disregarding the fact that the article still doesn't address GP's aforementioned complaint, the sample size used (n=128) is too small to make a firm judgement, with the ideal being at least n > 1000 to reduce potential statistical noise. The study also doesn't disprove the possibility of men being overdiagnosed with CHD.

This article addresses lower quality of healthcare received by minorities as opposed to white people. No links or direct references to cited studies/articles are given anywhere within the article, and the one time they do reference a source is to a book ("Just Medicine: A Cure for Racial Inequality in American Healthcare (2015)"), with no page citations to the aforementioned book made in the article. This article also doesn't address the GP's complaint at all.

Personal opinion:

This type of shotgun-style link posting is a variant of the Gish Gallop, wherein the link poster forces participants to "do the research" via the cited links, only to waste their time by not directly addressing the concerns and complaints of the parent comment.

Have you thought that, being clear-eyed, you may not yet have the experience of being terminally ill and in pain that cannot be medicated away? The only prospect for life being permanently chained to a bed awaiting your death?

How easy it is to serve these strong opinions when you are healthy.

> Your argument is couched in the same form as the argument:

If you have no experience of something you need a much stronger argument to prove you are not only correct, but correct to the point it overrides somebody elses freedom.
Yep it is a ponzi scheme that resists some form of equilibrium IMO.

The downside to what's happening is reduced growth in plenty of things or at least glacially slow growth. I hate rampant consumerism, but it's hard to imagine the growth in computing power without it. Imagine if we had all just stopped with the Commodore 64 lol and called it good enough. The same goes for practically everything.

The upside is that my labor becomes more and more valuable and corporate America becomes less all encompassing.

But yeah. I wonder what will happen if this trend persists? Will deflation happen? What if people go back to just having different clothes based on the seasons and not on a 52-week fashion cycle like many women? Is that so bad?
It’s unfortunate that there is not an “intellectual media network” that does all the hard public relations stuff for intellectuals and allows them to easily share their work with a public audience. Since this doesn’t exist, you end up with people that are willing to play — and are good at — the media game, which usually means making outrageous attention-grabbing claims that are far outside the person’s expertise.
I'm glad it worked out for you.
> Apple devices aren't engineered to last

This doesn't match either my experience, the experience of others I know or the good resale value Apple devices continue to have.
> As a Swiss company, it is illegal for us to cooperate with any non-Swiss authorities

Taken as written, this is obviously false. If we need to add some unstated qualifiers and specific interpretation for that statement to remotely check out, consider the same for the rest, like:

> Therefore, Proton could not be compelled to do so

protonmail may or may not realize that people will read way more into these statements than they should.
I suppose the interesting question is whether this is true of the newest devices or not. My wife's MacBook Pro lasted 11 years. It finally died this year. Can I expect the MacBook Pro that's replacing it to last 11 years too? Only time will tell. Hope so.
Everyone saying "there's nothing new here" : there's a whole body of law governing how this is decided. You can be 100% certain that Apple's lawyers are exploiting it to the max.

But simply asserting that is not going to change the outcome any.

> I feel they are after Apple just because Apple Watch succeeded.

Exactly. Why would they sue an unsuccessful company with no money?
This has happened, and is happening all the time. Many groundbraking theories in physics can be framed this way. The problem is that "slightly different angle" is a huge space, so scientists throw a lot of theories at it and see what sticks.

Educate yourself if you don't know who is the guarantor.
If a "moral stance" is one you only hold when it applies to other people's decisions, it's illegitimate and those stances have a name we give them: hypocrisy.

Also. Comparing support for MAID with defendant rights is a false equivalence. The correct equivalence there is whether or not someone still favors criminal rights if they were personally on trial. Not someone who personally becomes less magnanimous to criminals they are personally affected by. The equivalence the other direction would be asking loved ones about someone else's decision to undergo MAID, and asking them subset of folks around them who aren't ready to let them go yet how they feel about MAID. (Though in both cases of MAID and not wanting the wrong person to be thrown in jail for a criminal action as a victim, I suspect the drop in support is less than you think it is.)

A large proportion of software projects are internal systems which are not being delivered to external 3rd parties. Nor are they online products primarily for consumption by the public.

These are the systems that run the world in banking, finance, education, transportation, consumption, production, manufacturing and supply chain amongst others.

Stakeholders are internal and a Product Manager role really doesn't apply. I think it important to differentiate between types of software endeavor and much of the discussion here seems to view the software world and the need/role of a Product Manager narrowly.
Most mathematics has no application to science whatsoever. It's a huge parts bin which scientists delve into when they build their models. And then much of the work is in trying to shoehorn the mathematics into being tractable.

Mathematics is also not provably internally consistent. This was famously shown by Gödel [1].

Are you using Encrypted Client Hello?
short answer: just don't!!

get yourself some (cheap) device you own and only use outside the companies infrastructure for such content.

longer answer: i can think at least of 3 reasons why not ...

1. you leave "traces" within the companies infrastructure - vpn, proxies, firewalls, ids, content-scanner/-filter, ... - and put leverage which can be used against you into the hand of certain people -> read "the company" / "your mgmt" / "hr" ...

2. i would expect, that someone in the company will notice this & tell others about it. and it'll be a huge embarrassment in front of your colleagues and weakens your position among them, even if the company/mgmt doesn't use it to blackmail you at any time.

3. if you are not a permanent employee, but a freelancer or other person contractually working for the company it could even be a reason for getting fired / violation of contract.

The term you're after is "reasonable experimentation."

The idea is: if a "lab assistant" can determine the exact concentrations, temperatures, pressures, manufacturing steps, etc. then it is still an invention. In other words, it's ok if practicing it requires reasonable experimentation.

You might disagree with that, but that's what the law says.
I'm still not very clear why you can't just leave this as a personal moral decision rather than a legal one.
I was wondering about this too. I get that it's a commonly used drug, but the entire earth's atmosphere? How many molecules per cubic meter of air is that plant letting out? How are the particles travelling around the world exactly?

Where in the definition of the complex exponential function is π used? IIRC its: the exponential function is defined to be its own derivative (note 1), i is the square root of -1, and exp(ix) is observed to have a period of 2π. There isn't any arbitrary choices in there that could be said to be defined in such a way that π results.

note 1: exp(x) can alternatively be defined by the exponential series, but that series does contain arbitrary numbers that could be said to be selected in such a way that π results.
It's not the background metric but the space geometry is assumed Euclidean - in non-Euclidean geometry the ratio of of the circumference of any circle to the diameter of that is not a constant, it depends on such diameter (so you simply cannot define 'pi' in that case)

What do you think an intellectual is? An intellectual is someone whose hobby or vocation is using his mind to consider the big questions and issues of human life.

There is no certification or competency test for intellectuals. If you say you are one, then— like saying you are a “football fan”— you probably are one.

I say I am an intellectual because I want people to think I am always ready to talk about any philosophical topic. Also I wrote a book about living an intellectual life, so there is evidence I do want to use my mind to consider big questions. Not that evidence matters much.

I am American, too. Turns out some Americans enjoy living a life of mind.
The words “entire athmosphere” and the “plants” might be an exaggregation, but

1) I can readily imagine the _labs_ being contaminated by the reference samples.

2) If the compound is stable, not clumping and not hygroscopic - yes, certainly. “Microscopic” doesn’t do it justice, as there doesn’t seem to be any limit to how small the seed crystals can get.

Since we’re manufacturing literally tons of pharmaceuticals, and carefully manually spreading them over the Earth surface to the pharmacies, so for stable substances it doesn’t seem such an exaggregation to me.
