Some of the sites on this "web ring" (amazing!) definitely have Yahoo chat like applets and GIF animations that remind me of Flash. I miss Flash (kind of).

I've been looking for a community of exactly this! This website layout/feel scratches a really deep itch. Let's make a hand-crafted web of enthusiasts and bring back 1999 all by ourselves! :)

The problem with library apps isn't really the app. It's trivially easy to spin up a database with all the necessary fields. The real problem with library apps (or systems) is having to actually manage/index/code/sc

On the other hand, now that you've written this out precisely, it will get fed into the next release of whatever LLM. Like reverse AI slop?

While this advice is good, the article is discussing HSV (herpes simplex virus), not HPV (human papilloma virus), which have quite different symptoms and epidemiology. There are, as yet, no approved HSV vaccines.

Removing 24% of GDP is not just a "mild recession", leaving aside all the interconnected parts of the economy that would immediately be destroyed.

You have to look past the stated intention. It's quite clear by logical deduction that it cannot be the stated purpose. If the policy is intended to bring back US manufacturing, it would not be haphazardly implemented where the rates&#

As an outsider, it certainly seems like the US is entirely incapable of doing that in the foreseeable future.

100%. I would say, even on the UI/UX side - Microsoft(!) has done a way better job on Edge (even though it's Chromium), with lots of new features on tab grouping, split screen browsing, note taking, syncing, and app integrations.

If tariffs work at all (which is doubtful), they're supposed to be part of an overarching plan with a long-term strategy in coordination with industry so that they can actually invest in creating new manufacturing. It certainly isn&#x2

The disincentives are huge though. Hiring a bad employee is a very expensive problem and hard to get rid of.

I mean, that's the point - in pharmaceutical sciences there's _so much noise_ including fraud that it's really only easy in hindsight to pick out "the guy" who was the "genius". It's hard to take one

So much of this is hindsight bias though. There were no shortage of people with ideas and companies pursuing obesity drugs through a number of different pathways. Only in hindsight does it seem "genius" that Thomsen persisted and

Brutalism actually comes from the French word for concrete, "beton brut"; not English "brutality". https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Brutalism

Am a lawyer. This is correct. Drafting subpoenas, motions, applications, convincing a skeptical judge that Twitter posts are "real" evidence, or explaining how DNS records work, not to mention actually scheduling a damn hearing, t

It's not quite that simple. If you've ever lived in a tall building and heard/seen/smelled stories of sewer pipes backing up, well you'll know what I mean. The bottom floor of a 50 storey building needs much more se

I see this sentiment a lot, and as an engineer-turned-lawyer, I've always found this to be intriguing but unsatisfactory. Certainly lots of transactional type work (contracts, estates) and maybe even basic adversarial work (parking tic

Europe and Canada approved AstraZeneca's vaccine while the FDA didn't (not debating whether it was a "good" decision, just that it did). Canada also approved of vaccine dose mixing (out of necessity, but nonetheless it w

Relatedly, a great primer on this concept has been written up by the Bank of England and IMO is a must-read for anyone who wants to know how money is "created". https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/-/media/boe

I love something like this but something about having to log in to a proprietary service to read/comment/view markups just doesn't sit right. I wish this kind of stuff was built in more easily to PDF readers/writers. The

There isn't really a professional expectation about prestigious firms. However, there is some reputational effect of having external counsel represent you in court. Some courts (judges, juries) might view a lawyer who represents a vari

Litigation (court stuff) is almost always outsourced to law firms. The reason is that it's a different kind of practice than day-to-day corporate stuff (contracts, acquisitions, regulatory compliance) which is primarily done in house.

It probably has to do with the failure mode rather than actual rate of failure, although it may be perceived differently. When digital signals "fail" (usually just minor interference or some power fluctuation), you usually just ge

Like aircraft disasters, most civil/structural engineering disasters have more than one "cause". There is not always a satisfying answer or a single "smoking gun". A bunch of things usually have to go wrong at the s

I agree, unfathomable. But one interesting thought that I usually entertain is that based on our best estimates there are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on Earth. Now imagine every time you step foot on a beach and
