I wish they'd stop referring to them as sonic attacks--I think the perception of sonic disturbance is a side effect of something else.
That approach works well in terms of compatibility, but my sense is that it's usually much slower than MathML, and with equation-heavy documents can be extremely slow. I might be unaware of something, though. MathML…
The antibiotics example is one type where I admit some kind of regulation (aside from competency) might be in order. I.e., where tragedy of the commons-type scenarios arise. Still, even in that case, I think you might…
The prescription-only aspect of this is really depressing to me. This is not the road we should be going down.
Robin Murray is a pretty well-respected psychiatric researcher. This was interesting for me to read.
Without meaning to be dismissive, I doubt that would happen in the US at least at this point in time. And to the extent it did happen, there would be bigger problems to worry about. Determinations of competency already…
Interesting--this seems forward-thinking and useful.
I was a little unclear about this, but I meant Java in the broad sense of the Java ecosystem, including the JVM and the language. I was mostly wondering if languages will move toward WebAssembly as a target instead of…
I've often thought that substance access needs to be completely deregulated, for drugs of abuse as well as other medications. This would increase access and competition among providers, and avoid rent-seeking kinds of…
I wonder how this will affect Java in the long term. In the comments about the JDK9 release, there was discussion about the JVM becoming a sort of language-agnostic platform where Java is a small part. It seems…
The danger area is conflating lack of success in a particular social setting with noncognitive skills. I.e., "this person lacks persistence" versus "this person has given up because this social setting is pathological."…
I love O'Neill's work on PCG, and loved the talks by her I watched online. As a tenured professor I want to say two things about this piece: 1. I think academic publishing will be forced to change. I'm not sure what…
