For years Google lied about consent users supposedly gave for some types of location tracking, but after they got found out (and the authorities got involved) they changed their tune.

And I will never trust google again after that with my person important data! No matter what day do now!

so even if they nominally represent the founder they’re not going to do anything that would jeopardize their prospects for future business with the private equity firm.

Ouch! Seems like there should be some 'unionised' legal representation for founders. Seems like representation for founder and VC to be a conflict in interests.

This seems to be much heavily emphasised on capital vs talent.

In summary: our modern computer's sheer power are camouflaging poor software performance. The difference between using native and Electron apps, is a huge reduction in the upper limit of how many things you can do at the same time in your machine, or having a lower ceiling on how many heavy-load work tasks your system can be doing before it breaks.

Same can be said about a lightweight web page and 'React' with tons routers all in SPA and vdom. Maybe the page is fine when it is the only page open, but when there are other SPA also open, then even typing becomes sluggish. Please don't use modern computer's sheer power to camouflaging poor software performance. Always make sure the code uses as little resource as possible.

Some kind of principle of social stability has kicked in.

Same goes in finance. For example, SIFI (Systemically important financial institution) are exempt from regulation and even bankruptcy. It is human nature to mange/avoid risk, and the system will always want to maintain itself. It is kind pointless point finger to say oh this company/nation/regime censor this. Everyone does it in their own ways.

There is more money to be made by stakeholders treating health problems than there is in preventing them. And so there is a lot more money and effort invested in developing pharmaceutical and treatment solutions than there is in preventing them – even though that would be far, far better for society as a whole.

The health care system in US is very broken. This paper [1] really outlines. It not just more money made in treating health problems than prevention. Due to the health insurance is structured in US, there is also an incentive for doctors to prescribe the more expensive treatment instead of the cheaper more effective treatment.

Lol, shaky indeed. A business person once said, "can you imagine if machine engineer (like auto makers) behave like software engineering?".

Seems no digital system is truly secure. Moving foundational code to memory safe seems like a good first step.

This study would make a lot sense, that is why may studies in the area found that talk therapy in conjunction with medication are way more effective and less relapse than just medication along. Dr. Grof has done quite bit of work in that are.

Personalised brain circuit require personalised therapy, and talk therapy with well trained therapist seems to be the key to treat the cause instead of symptom. All the difrerent fancy medications are "throw stuff against the wall and see what works".

The parent is asking about how bun compare to Deno, not node. TSC, tsx, and ts-node are nodejs related. I also would like to know. Deno seems to be mature and ready. It runs .ts files from command line. Of course there is no point of picking one JS runtime over another. I would follow the WinterCG group, and use something that is runtime agonistic like hono. It already has a React like front end built in (jsx-lite type).

Many scientists/people only think about problem in the scope of the their discipline. Keep in mind this is the problem-solution knee jerk (treat the symptom) responses is how we got to our current situation in this world.

Oh we don't like horse dung, we going with cars now!

With bio-engineering such as this, many intergenerational horizontal studies need to be done before it even should be consider releasing in the wild.

Wow! When will beautiful doreena be ported? It is one of those software need to run quite old MacOS to work.

Look into Windows NT source code that was leaked. The if-else/switch statements in there is just another level of string matching hell. Seems like software development just become "let's jerry rig it to just make it work and forget about it." Pretty sure management (without tech clue) have something to do behaviours like this.

Command line interfaces don't fit modern application usage. We simply can't do everything with pure text. I'd like to pipe my Skype call to a video analysis service while I'm chatting, but I can't really run a video stream through awk or sed.
