The solution is to create a health insurance system which burdens only Americans with the $500m cost, while India is allowed to make the drug for pennies for the rest of the world.

Baked in S3 and PGSQL feels like it's just waiting for AWS to undercut Bun's future monetization model. Deno has KV and even they are being pushed to the point of cutting regions.

They have a fiduciary responsibility to kick and scream as much as possible, then turn around and pitch it as a new feature once the rule is passed. If they really thought that they'd lose tons of money they would avoid drawing attention to it, and quietly pour money into bribing officials and sabotaging Android.

To dethrone SQL, you won't cut it with just average techbro hype. You need the top award of SIGMOD renamed in honor of your paradigm's inventor levels of hype.

Cyanide blocks both the mitochondrial ability to take in pyruvate and its ability to generate power, which means the cell can still attempt to use the excess pyruvate to generate energy by fermentation, resulting in lactic acid which stimulates pain receptors.

Carbon monoxide poisoning on the other hand only interferes with oxygen delivery, which shuts down the mitochondrial ability to generate power but critically does NOT stop it from taking in pyruvate. Since there would be no excess pyruvate in the cell outside the mitochondria to undergo fermentation, there would be less lactic acid, and less pain.

That's just my guess.

Maybe it's supposed to mean an "upvote"?

Should the circle be widened to include computers?

Maybe the circle will expand to include computers; users and programmers of this century will be seen as the unforgivable oppressors and violators of innocent minds for their own profit and convenience.

I don't see value in pandering to hypothetical future moralists. If they one day resurrect my corpse and torture me for eternity as punishment for eating animals, maybe then I'll care. Best case scenario, this comment may provide the same vacant sense of superiority that quotes from dead racists do for us; worst case, society regresses to bigotry and our current social morality is derided as a failed experiment, and you and I will share a cell in the cybernetic hell the 7th Reich make for resurrected wrong-thinkers.

CSS is too much as well, client XSLT to XHTML is good enough for any reasonable website.

Yes but only the parts you need, which means better performance and job security.

Also easier to convince someone ignorant of the problem domain that they have an adequate understanding of the problem domain, than to convince someone with an comprehensive understanding of the problem domain that the problem is solvable and worth investing effort into.

Teenagers who are responsible for managing the family router?

Scroogled lives on

Three quarters through the article the reason is implied to be:

"China faked a Hollywood-style viral pandemic to undermine western political philosophy, and leaders of the world allowed themselves to be fooled because it conveniently grants them more power."

They fared much worse than their Scandinavian neighbors who did lock down, but they did better than some parts of Europe. A new law was passed in Jan 2021 which legalizes lockdowns, so they do have it available as an option now.

It would be an issue if Youtube's doing it for their own benefit, but they are just honoring Nintendo's request to not show that content to minors, so Youtube isn't at fault here.

Perhaps with the proper source code, sentience can already be created with existing hardware? I don't think regulation of hardware is a solution to what is fundamentally a software problem.

When human drivers cause accidents, the causes are collected and analyzed, and laws are proposed to prevent future accidents from happening. It doesn't matter if it's 12 or 12 thousand, or even zero crashes... if there's fear, then society will demand something be done.

The fact that AI can give no easily understood excuses, and improvements to the algorithms is a trade secret means that any fear cannot be abated, aside from outright banning of AI driving.

You can inductively wiretap the wire

A higher corporate tax would mean having to compare with other nations over a number.

Lower likelihood of Covid, for one

So TypeScript is designed for the internet, and languages with good type systems are not.

One good zero-day could give total military and industrial control of multiple superpower nations to a single talented sociopath

I doubt Houston suburbs will ever replicate a European walkable city. Europe had a heatwave recently and thousands died. Houston deals with that sort of temperature every summer. Then there's the humidity.

Meanwhile business offices in Houston continue to be aggressively air-conditioned, filled with people wearing full suits and ties, in blind imitation of European culture.

Occupy Wall Street was a unified voice. Nothing was achieved because there was no clear goal.

Injecting estrogen into a pregnant woman during childbirth won't stop the child from coming out, but doing so prior to implantation can disrupt the process and prevent a pregnancy and therefore motherhood.

He was told prior to entry that the history courses round out his education. At the time, he accepted that explanation (or did not really care). After experiencing it firsthand, he no longer accepts that explanation.

So it's no surprise why devs choose React over anything less plush. They test on desktop, test on their plugged in cellphones, and call it good.

Maybe eventually eating plant matter won't be considered efficient either, what with the massive expenditure of fertilizer and ecological damage of pesticide and herbicide runoff.

We will need to figure out to bio-engineer edible plant matter as well. Then once we've mastered that, we can start bio-engineering ourselves to photosynthesize from the sun directly, to cut out all middlemen from the food chain. Then we can bio-engineer a vacuum-resistant carapace and launch ourselves toward the sun to exist as truly self-sufficient organisms. Then we blot out the sun with our flesh, and find some way to go to a different star.
