> Crowdsourced moderation. But I can't imagine that would work for FB.

its used to work. incredibly well, in fact, but only for the first few years or so

back when your entire feed was just the contents of your friends list, if one of those 'friends' starts posting things that get a little too crazy, you could unfriend them in two clicks, from the same dialog as the post itself, and you wouldnt have to worry about it ever again

try to unfriend an ad or 'promoted content' tho haha
In the UK, its basically HMRC first, then banks/building societies. If there is anything left, everyone else gets a share.

The last one my company dealt with, we got about 10% of our exposure back. So we got £1,000 instead of the £10,000 that was owed. We then got to write that off as a loss.

This monster is in a different league to anything I've dealt with but the principles here would largely be the same but with less transparency and more money wandering off for a chat with shady characters. I suspect that the rules I might follow may be joined by some rather more complicated ones, when the sums involved are large enough and the corporate structures are complicated enough.
Part of this tweet[1] stood out to me. I wish I was more optimistic about Buttigieg handling this appropriately, but I'm not aware of any significant action on his part over the Norfolk Southern freight explosion a year ago.

"He has been saddled with a messy, stupid lawsuit built on bad decision after bad decision, from predecessors who--between a rock and a hard place in the impossible task of avoiding disparate impact while preserving objective standards--elected to take the easy road and cave to political pressure to implement absurdities. He has extraordinary power to end this mess in a moment and begin to make things right for those who were directly denied a chance at the jobs they had worked towards thanks to an arbitrary and perverse biographical questionnaire."

That's fair. Any time I've decided to spend time in the sexpr-world, I've gone straight to the hard stuff, into Scheme. Apart from Elisp, anyways.

I've never worked in the source tree of a large Common Lisp program. Though I've bought the books and read the tutorials etc.
Generally, I think if a patient needs blood transfusions there's a bigger and more immediate life-and-death problem right there. I think allergies would be preferable to death.

Is my understanding correct? I hope blood transfusion hasn't become a routine procedure these days.
I don't really like making assumptions honestly.

My best guess is that the model of car is "older" now, and they've subsequently moved onto other interests, including possibly the newer model, which I heard (but can't confirm) this person built a similar site for.

The only real changes to the forum in the past 3-4 years are more ads and many more performance/reliability problems, plus bots.

I really found "The King of Hearts" a fascinating book.

Early open-heart surgery was ... jaw dropping.

For a child with a heart defect they sewed the mother's circulatory system to the child, and she would pump blood for both of them while the child's heart was stopped and being worked on.

There were other wierd attempts to create a heart-lung machine to oxygenate and circulate the blood during an operation, and by today's standards they would be apalling. Monkey lungs and complex machines that never saw the light of day.

but now open heart surgery is commonplace and taken for granted.

That said, I don't know if neuralink is doing something really important or is too fast-and-loose.

It may not be infectious like a cold or herpes, but it was amazing to me that it is transmissible. I spent some time Googling and it looks like the appropriate term is "Donor-Derived Infections."

I hardly wrote any Clojure, but the only thing that bugged me was the startup time of the repl. It's been talked about enough. Yes, that problem goes away if I use a proper setup with a language server or whatever, and yes it doesn't matter for "situated" production applications, but it still peeved me.

What do I care if it's in the JVM? Sure, a JVM instance uses a lot of memory to help the garbage collector, but that doesn't bother me. JVM is just an old, mature ecosystem. Every runtime we work with (browser, nodejs, CPython, your decades of hand-written C++, the Go standard library) shares design tradeoffs with the JVM. Nothing inherently off-putting about it.

There’s no moat on robot vacuums, they just had their initial brand recognition. Lots of companies should pay attention…

I love my Roomba, it’s been truly a life-changing invention for me and my go-to mental construct for how robots can improve our lives and how good design can be very simple yet effective. But I probably bought it used on eBay and I continue to buy batteries every 5-10 years for it on eBay when it needs a new one.
I agree, as long as it's the people I don't like and the people I perceive to be problematic that get reduced, and the people like me that don't.

That's the problem, in case the sardonicism is not obvious.
The way you word it, it's as if they were a bunch of tech bros putting microchips in people's brains and running a remote debugger for fun, in a completely unregulated environment.

The people that accept these kinds of implants during a "prototype phase" are usually in a very bad position, so the risk is worth it for them, as the technology can drastically improve their lives.

Maybe a deactivation and quick pickup of the "now free" name? Kinda surprised google would allow a pickup that quickly instead of quarantining newly available names for X days.
You know the answer to that.

If they are qualified, shouldn't they be able to compete fairly with the rest of the applicant pool? I think this scenario should only be a cause for concern if people are being passed on for anything other than their competency, such as race.

As I mentioned elsewhere, you’re falling for letting perfect be the enemy of good. The ZKP + phone biometrics only needs to raise the cost of bypass above what adolescents have access to. And no, you can’t just share the same ID because there’s revocation support in the mDL and it’s difficult to extract the raw data once it’s stored on the trusted element. This is very similar to how credit cards on phones work which are generally very difficult to steal.
You think that your car make/model is bad, the one for mine is the same but also has an expired SSL certificate and the outgoing email is broken, so it's slowly getting deindexed from Google and you can't sign up for an account (can't get the verification email) so there's no way to access the attachments, etc. It's sad, honestly.

Just a side-note: My step-dad was a long-hauler when I was a kid, before any of the "maximum hours" regulations. The stories he used to tell me are terrifying. Basically, back then, all the long-haulers were alcoholics who drank coffee and popped pills to stay awake and driving for as long as they could. Dudes used to have contests to see who could drive the longest. Driving coast-to-coast on a straight shot was totally common. There were union rules around "maximum hours", but dudes wanted to get paid, so they just kept driving. Drunk, and on pills.
How does that work? Being a professional gambler, I mean. I'd love to know more about this.

For example, lots of bio things can take a lifetime to have an effect. One crystal clear example of this is the buildup of AGEs in collagen and the like over time as a part of damage accumulation in the process of aging. Tons of drugs have taken decades to show signs of causing cancer, and whatnot.

Which drugs are you talking about? As far as I am aware, while there are pollution in the environment that are damaging, a lot of damage are caused by 'lifestyle' factor(arguably, the cause are still systematic).

Like, I don't have an issue with implants, I really don't. But I have a major issue with a company that comes from a fold of companies who has "plays it fast and loose" as a defining attribute. And has killed a lot of their own lab animals in experiments.

Are you talking about the safety issues from SpaceX's Starbase facility and manufacturing safety at Tesla factories? There's some controversy about autopilot as well. I know there are also controversy at Neuralink, but it doesn't seem clear to me how true it is. In any case, testing on animals isn't the same as testing on humans.

I would have dumped lambda as a runtime before dumping the codebase. Obviously we don't know the full story but that sounds a lil silly to me.

Plus lambda's will stay alive for quite a while if they are in use. So startup time is felt once, but then would be identical to any other language or runtime.

"Regulating them properly" could mean a lot of things to a lot of people. Do you mean e.g. just not allowing porn on the internet or do you mean e.g. just not requiring identification verification?

My friend works for a medical device manufacturer helping prepare for FDA inspections and related quality control measures and as I recall, and this was a couple years ago, he said that the FDA is fairly stringent but could be more so, and he wishes they'd fine for higher amounts, because if getting fined for a mistake was a bigger financial hit, companies would be better incentivized to avoid mistakes that the FDA currently catches and has them correct.

What is your definition of 'fairly paid'?
Poor [Cloud Tasks](https://cloud.google.com/tasks), they're the actual GCP message queue, but everyone forgets they exist and use Pub/Sub instead.

What's funny is Pub/Sub is a fundamentally different model from message queues: queues are normally tightly coupled, meaning you enqueue a message to be processed by a specific system. Pub/Sub on the other hand is fundamentally loosely coupled: the publisher doesn't care who (if anyone) gets the message.

(I've heard "orchestration" vs "choreography" to describe this dichotomy, but I can't say I'm a fan of the jargon.)
This will inevitably lead to a band of underground rebels who live inside a Faraday cage and use abandoned missile silos to shoot Starlink satellites out of the sky. As each satellite goes out of commission, this frees more neurolinked people from control, and they descend underground to join the army.

Over time, rumors spread among the underground population that the cages have been augmented with a local control source. Hysteria spreads and the cages are torn down, with the Starlink satellites immediately retaking control, but this time with a much more subtle approach.

The result is an underground war of all against all, where nobody can trust their own thoughts.
My PoV is that it's an open question whether this is a fruitful approach. If you search for "meta-prompting" you'll find some discussions/papers on the topic.

Literally, I Googled for:

best performing stock in the S&P500 going back to 1981

The best I could find:

Home Depot (HD) had the highest return in 1981 by a US stock in the S&P 500 (GSPC), returning 66.9%. [1]

I think you are mistaken: That was the best single year return in 1981.

It is not easy to find a single stock with the highest return since 1981. The best I could find was 20 years: Monster (energy drinks) [2]

Other research shows the highest single year return on a stock ever was Qualcomm: +2620% in 1999 [3]

> They're in a strategic dead end, the reasons to pick Firefox are very slim.

This is such a wrong statement and has nothing to back it up. Why is it first.

Firefox has:
- much higher customization options (huge)
- different features such as multi account containers
- a different profit model not based on ads and intrusion. Mozilla is not acting like a monopoly and trying to force people to watch their ads.
- A different engine.
- a better strategy for Ram
- a different UI
- and much more.

Some of us, have enjoyed Firefox for aged and will keep doing so. We're power users and not people who act like popularity due to external marketing capabilities and default pushing is reason enough to say "other browsers should not be relevant".

Wtf is your comment, honestly.

Now, if you want to talk about Mozilla missing their money for US culture wars (Rep vs Dem) and issues unrelated to tech, then i agree. But technology wise, Firefox is a very easy case to make.

That doesn't necessarily mean there's a disagreement about safety between workers and supervisors, it could just as well mean they both disagree with the regulators about the acceptable level of risk.
