I dunno, I think Debian are being wise here.

A while ago KeePassXC published a glowing audit report, but the report just ignored the scary stuff -- i.e. the things being disabled here like browser integration. I took a quick look, and thought the design could use some work -- but when I tried to discuss it they were very dismissive.

I did file a bug for one of the vulnerabilities we discussed, but I don't think they changed anything and didn't seem interested.
What network effects? You type in www.sellerX.com, click pay, and receive purchased item. Zero other entities involved other than buyer and seller, which means no network effects.
Are they? I have full access to all the Instagram reels, posts, comments, etc. friends send me, without being logged in.
Most Americans are only familiar with the US system and the completely socialized systems in Canada and Britain. Something like the French system isn't really politically on the table here.
Under current law, you cannot be compelled to share more data than you're already collecting. However, the term "collecting" is a bit wider than the most common use. If you receive some piece of data, you are collecting it, even if you don't keep logs, or don't do anything with it.

It's not much different than how detective work is done in the physical domain. You cannot be compelled to ask a customer for more info, but you can be compelled to share info that the customer gave to you, even if you didn't ask for it or never wrote it down.
qStudio looks very cool and im right in your target demo - and I hate to complain about free but just a bit of feedback: jar on mac is a lot of friction to be able to try it. I just spent about 5 minutes downloading and trying to get it to work - mac says it cant open because its from an unidentified developer, I went into security to get it to open anyway, it gave me another scary warning and then it still couldn't launch because I dont have a jvm installed somehow?

I'll probably try again later because it really does look cool and as much as I absolutely love my intellij/datagrip I'm always looking for alternatives and have thought several times about building a tool with these automatic analysis tools built in.
This is my experience as well. I can memorize a long-ish text, in both English and Spanish, but I cannot start it from any random point. I must start from either the beginning or very precise "known" checkpoints.

Human memory like a linked list! I like this analogy.
I mean, when people bring up unsupervised use of internet, I always remember that my first exposure to porn in the 90s was a site called animal sex farm (there was a list with leaked credentials for porn site that I stumbled into and that was the first site on the list). I was rather shocked by what I saw and let's say it's not something I'd want my son to be exposed to at 12 years old.
Not every trait can be made into a trait object. Traits that are "object safe" can be made into a trait object. Nothing to do with mutation, or side effects.
Maybe but he was going to get the pile-on no matter what he actually said so long as he stood firm on his decision so I'm not sure that's relevant. Yes he was a jerk in the Github issue, not defending that, but people didn't pile on because he was rude, they piled-on because of the actual change.

The post wasn't "hey look at this rude asshole" but "rogue Debian maintainer $makes_change." I would bet that most people aware of the story never even clicked through to the GH issue to see the tea.

> I don't understand this idea that there's no demand elasticity for healthcare.

There is demand elasticity, but health is weird.

Lots of people skip or avoid medical visits due to the cost. That’s demand elasticity.

For some things, that’s fine! A condition ends up going away in its own, or doesn’t go away but remains a minor annoyance that the person bears. Demand elasticity.

But for some conditions, that’s actually a much worse outcome. The condition worsens to the point where it becomes a major impact to someone and must be resolved (or they will die, be unable to work, etc). Often, these kinds of conditions are much much more expensive to treat when they are severe. Consider a bacterial infection. Discovered and treated early, it might be staved off with a cheap form of antibiotics. Left to fester, the treatment required might be much more costly: amputations, major surgeries, intensive care for a week, etc. In these cases, the “demand elasticity” didn’t work out. What appeared as elasticity actually ended up costing society much much more.

> You're paying money to be less healthy and now you tell me "for my health, whatever the price is I'll spend it".

Most people aren’t saying this about marginal medical care. Many many many people in the US regularly avoid interacting with the healthcare system due to the price.

This kind of saying applies to critical and life saving care. Like: “we’ve discovered you have cancer. We can manage it, and you have a 90% chance of survival, but the treatment will cost $500,000. Do you want that?”
And Go is already using a non-standard ABI and has to take real action to convert back to standard ABIs if you want to call external code. That's part of why cgo calls are expensive, the other major bit relating to having to interact with OS threads differently than native Go code does.
I have a LinkedIn profile but I'm not actively managing it. I prefer to maintain my own portfolio website (+resume and blog) https://ivylee.github.io/.

They don't need to be as highly regulated as medicine needs to be. Even children can learn most of the important elements of food safety (cook to a certain temperature, don't cross contaminate utensils, wash your hands, etc.).

Much of medicine is vastly more complex than something like food safety or clothing safety.

I'm sure it's a tradeoff. Like adding a disk to a computer that only had RAM.

This is Sam being given an ultimatum and making a choice before being fired. Is it effectively the same thing? Yes. But technically, he left to pursue OpenAI.

Ok, so this interestingly connects in my mind with how older religions see it as important to teach their holy texts by heart (e.g., Jews learning the Bible, or Muslims learning the Koran): this article's claim seems to support the idea, that it should lead to a better understanding of the meaning of, and behind, the text.
I'm not sure if most Android manufacturers support recording in raw which would be the closest analogue to this proprietary log format, so it's not like they could even make it if they wanted to.

BTW it's also quite direct using vectors: the legs of the triangle are the sum and difference of radius vectors. Take their dot product, distribute it, it's zero because radii are the same length.
The Meisner repetition technique, sure. (Although it just doesn't connect/resonate for a lot of actors.)

But the Meisner technique also teaches you to learn your lines by rote, practicing them in a monotone, intentionally devoid of meaning (the opposite of what this article describes), under the theory that this will free you to add spontaneous emotion in the moment.

Whereas in my experience that's a terrible approach. It makes it vastly harder to learn the material (as this article suggests), and then students tend to perform closer to a monotone because that's how they practiced it and built an unconscious habit of association -- or once they're able to bring emotion to it they forget their lines because the emotion was overwhelming and they don't have the lines "in their bodies" connected to the emotions that are going on, because they learned them by rote.

As you can tell, I'm not generally a fan of the Meisner technique overall...

Right, and that's exactly the problem we run into that causes comment sections to go endlessly in circles.

If and when I ever write my Highly Opinionated Guide To Comment Section Ettiquette, my #1 rule would be about Dennett's Principle of Charity, but #2 would probably relate to the thing you've identified here. Namely, to the extent possible, try not to resort one-off examples to represent systematic processes.
Maintaining cleanliness can be a challenge
The New York subway moves 3.2 million people per day. Taxis and ride share options are together good for about 1 million. Mostly non autonomous and polluting of course. If you triple that with autonomous vehicles that use the road smarter, it sounds doable to match what the subway is moving around. And of course people would be using these for point to point traffic and cars would be able to re-route based on traffic as well.

We'll see how this plays out.

Ah right, yeah those would be perfect.
Or it's not a forceful move at all.

Maybe YC requires more dedication than Altman could provide to both it and OpenAI.

Unlikely. One kid already has a drivers license and uses it frequently. I'll make sure the other kid gets one as soon as she's eligible.

Not every young person spends all day hiding in their room, doom scrolling on social media. Some of them have to get to sports practice with bulky equipment in places that public transit and robo-taxis don't go.
Healthcare prices aren't only high for emergency care, so it shows that the emergency nature of the work isn't the issue. I'm sure doing a statistical regression would show roughly what percentage of the issue is due to it, but I would expect it to be very low given the prices of things like medication needed on an ongoing basis where one could shop around, if it was legal to do so. One can also look at elective or non-emergency surgeries, especially those where people use medical tourism to find cheaper options. That is an extreme form of shopping around, which they have to do because more local forms of shopping around are legally banned.

> I promise that you will find someone again

Yeah, it's not that i fear that i'll be alone forever, i just believe that our connection is very special and strong as we came together as young adults and are now in our mid-twenties, so we kind of bonded and matured together through the pandemic, starting new jobs, getting degrees, going on vacations etc. we've experienced so much together that it'll take quite some time to get to know another person to the same level. And we don't even live together at the moment...

In all these years i can't think of a single fight or long-winded argument, if you exclude angryness caused by dehydration or hunger during stressful situations. we've got different skills and personality traits which add up. we've got the same idea on what makes for a comfortable evening or weekend. etc.

TL;DR - we're just a very good match. Of course there are aspects where we could match better, but i can only think of one or two small things.
It does happen to restaurants: red lobster is the most recent example. PE raised the rent on the ground leases to where it was no longer sustainable for the operators of the eatery.

https://www.nbcnews.com/business/consumer/private-equity-rol...

> How private equity rolled Red Lobster

> When a private-equity firm bought the iconic seafood chain in 2014, it sold the real estate under the restaurants for $1.5 billion. Then the restaurants struggled to pay the rents.

> In recent years, private-equity firms have invested heavily in all areas of industry, including retailers, restaurants, media and health care. Some 12 million workers are employed by private equity-backed firms, or 7% of the workforce. Companies bought out and indebted by private equity go bankrupt 10 times more often than companies not purchased by these firms, academic research shows. In a report this month, Moody’s Ratings said leveraged buyouts like those pursued by many private-equity firms drive corporate defaults higher and reduce the amounts investors recover when the companies are restructured.

TLDR Corporate strip mining and dumping the enterprise carcass on bag holders.

I assume pretty much all the other developed countries have analogues to zoning and setback laws and other regulations that dictate what can and cannot be built on a given piece of land. I have even seen regulations dictating what kind of facades (purely an aesthetic choice) buildings must have.

Where do all the trained doctors go though?

If 1 person trains 6, then in a few years you now have 7 trained doctors who could either train 42 more or, if given half the workload, could train 21 more.

If the training doctors are always oversubscribed then there's a deeper problem in the system that's creating this bottleneck.

Like everything in the ever-welcoming Linux uwuorld, Debian also has a code of conduct. Personal attacks seem to be against it, and Klode got /very/ attacked in this situation.

I feel like he should either stop maintaining the Debian package or block White from contributing in some way. If they want to adhere to said code of conduct, of course... which was made -- first and foremostly -- for and by softies to avoid altercation.
We didn't need an area code for much of the time I was growing up in the 90s in the Atlanta area. It was a huge media thing when we got a new code and finally had to start thinking about it. We had an area code (404) but nobody used it until that pesky 770 (1995) complicated life for some, and 678 (1998) later messed it up for everyone.

Of course, they're increasingly meaningless now that everyone has cell phones and gets to pick an area code.
Not convinced. E.g. the DUV machines for sure are build to allow flexible multiple patterning. Some progress there may ramp up the yield significantly.

I think this really highlights the difficulty of squaring software with a lot of configuration options and one-package-per-program binary package management.

Sometimes a pretty good compromise is found, like with PHP, where there's a core package, and additional packages for a common subset of extensions.

Here, though, I both understand, and don't understand.

It's one thing to disable the favicon downloading, and Have I been PWNed integration. That's a fairly obvious case where the security is improved.

But browser integration, hardware key support, and TOTP integration are more nuanced cases. I know I would have a hard time using a password manager without browser integration...especially with increasing security friction adding up.

Security is very important. But security is not the end goal, the goal is to provide the best *practical* defense possible. Browser integration, TOTP integration, passkey support, and hardware key integration all can add enough convenience to actually improve security.

I certainly have some opinions about this whole thing, but I think both sides of the argument have been hashed out a number of times already.

However, I do feel like this is yet another situation where just a little more communication and a little less hostility would have made a world of difference. More and more I think that computer science and related programs should probably include a mandatory communications course or two (not a fluff comms course that I often see), and maybe a conflict resolution course. I think a non-negligible amount of problems in open source would have been entirely avoided.

A friend I know hopes this can be available to everyone soon. He's suffered from cavities for most of his life, and its shocking he hasn't had to have a tooth pulled.

While he isn't the best on dental hygiene I know he tries....but his medication and genetics kinda skew any efforts he makes. He jokes that he'd be lucky to have teeth by 50 still left, and in his case I feel bad for him because he does all he really can yet still has cavities and needs fillings regularly.
With this it would still be enough to just use an OS that lets you decide what to install. Namely not iOS, Android, ChromeStuff, Windows S or these other shitty locked down environments big tech companies sell to naive users.

Despite the technical possibilities, these bills should not be accepted and in my opinion directly contradict European rights. If they do not, these rights don't hold any value because the case is that obvious.
In the United States there are few legal repercussions when a human driver kills someone as long as they are sober and utter the phrase "I didn't see them". Therefore, biking on US roads means trusting in the inherent goodness (and attentiveness) of the drivers around you.
