SJ used to be relentless about nitpicking to keep quality up. Probably not happening consistently across all apps and platforms as much. Tim may need to appoint a Quality Czar whom is detail-oriented, accepts no bull and has "wrath of God" authority to make folks take them seriously.

Long-standing, time-wasting bugs I've noticed:

- Mdns broadcast disabling doesn't work.

- Swift playground in Xcode crashes regularly.

- Mobile Safari regularly crashes randomly on backspace in text areas.

- App Store installs corrupted apps but they don't show as corrupted until reboot, and then future downloads fail.

- Mail.app synchronously hangs the UI when processing new email notifications (probable not using a background queue).
Given this is for commercial interests and uber's prior similar gambits, I find the use of the .org domain in bad taste.

Maybe that is just me.
Correction: Correlation is evidence for causation. It's weak evidence, and generally speaking, stronger correlation isn't more evidence.

There's a gradual process to go from hypothesis to theory to fact, and to get there, you need several types of independent evidence. Correlational evidence is okay as one of those.

A correct statement is that correlation is not proof of causation (no matter how strong).

Types of evidence:

* Correlation

* Theoretical basis / strong hypothesis

* Extrapolation

* Interpolation

* Small-scale well-controlled experiments (lab setting)

* Large-scale less controlled experiments (real-world setting)

* Anecdotes

* ... and so on

You want several of those before you start to believe anything, and some are stronger than others. Correlation isn't fundamentally weaker than most of those, though; all of those carry their own methodological issues. The number of times you can have a large-scale perfectly-controlled preregistered randomized control trial with no confounding effects is exceptionally rare (some medical trials, and a few other settings).
No, but risk is all relative.

The video says the replacements were sometimes things like wind turbines. These tend to kill birds.

These RTGs seem quite impressive actually. Simple and easy to construct, if you have a nuclear industry. They survived for decades of being completely abandoned in a society falling apart. The biggest risk was only to people who literally broke in and stole them. There were no construction accidents creating and maintaining endless thousands of kilometers of transmission cables, no dead birds or dead maintenance engineers trying to repair a huge non-solid-state device in the middle of a Russian storm, the lighthouses presumably saved many lives and were cheap enough to build that the embattled USSR could afford to do so.

I wouldn't be surprised if a full lifecycle cost/benefit analysis that took into account the alternatives ended up being strongly positive in favour of this technology.
>"...correlation is evidence for causation"

Yeah...that's not how it works.
Except usually developing countries are "behind" thanks to western exploitation. It is really delusional to think that you're helping them by giving them underpaid work, while you're just really repeating the pattern that caused their poverty.
I think SymPy already flourishes in its space: it's a great tool for users who need some computer algebra functionality with the ability to glue that together with other code (thanks to Python). It's fine as long as you don't need high efficiency or specialized functionality.

Mathematica has no serious competition as a general-purpose symbolic system. I guess Maple is the closest runner-up, but it's more narrowly focused on computer algebra. Most people only need a fraction of Mathematica to get their work done, though.
Keto Body Trim is a work including the joining of Beta-Hydroxybutyric destructive (BHB) into the body. BHB is a piece of ketone bodies that start ketosis. Exactly when your body reveals the significant upgrades, it ought to be improved and, dependent upon the body, the energy can be taken care of for better results. So there are no fats that gather and become difficult. As we have recently referred to about sugars, these are standard energy structures. This doesn't mean, regardless, They are the primary wellspring of energy for our office. Clinical sciences have exhibited that if the body has no starches, it starts with fat set aside by the child instead of sugars. The body began to burn-through all the fat set aside in your body. The sustenance framework is by and large the ability to deplete sugar in the body. While there are no starches, the body changes into fat and quickly separates them. It relies upon Canadian roots, a mix of Garcinia, Forskolin, and CAMP. Garcinia has various focal points with a great deal of hydroxymetric eliminates that help control craving and stomach torture. Forskolin also coordinates the hankering of adiponectin and enables faster fat confirmation. Click here to order Keto Body Trim: https://apnews.com/press-release/newmediawire/north-america-...

I think you are right that they are not high up on the most dangerous jobs though I’d argue it still makes sense to fear deadly encounters the same way loggers should very much fear being crushed by a tree.

I do however agree that this fear is taken far past what is rational though which does result in a lot of bad behavior.

Interesting.

You can also do this somewhat risk-free if you either first sell on ebay, before actually buying the computer, or if you sell on ebay within the return period of wherever you bought the computer.

That way if you don't find a buyer at the desired price, you're just back to square one, and not stuck with hardware you don't need.
But then you have to build for redundancy rather than just performance (say, sacrifice some floor-plan to error correction, recovery, circuit duplication, etc...)

May be you can help me with this.

I am using the same computer from 2 locations, one 10 meters away (using extension cables) from the computer. Both locations have a keyboard and a mouse. When I start an application it always opens on the primary display, not the display I initiated the opening of the application from.

On Linux with X11 (with BSPWM or not) this is flawless. The multi display support in Linux / X11 seems to be much more advanced compared to Windows.

Any idea how I can get this in Windows 10?
I'm not. There were approximately 30ish "gifted" students in my graduating class. By that, I mean they were identified as gifted early on and attended gifted classes until middle school when there were other minor accelerated learning classes (like taking Algebra a year early).

For the vast majority of "gifted" children, the reason they were gifted at all has a ton to do with the amount of time their parents spent with them outside of the classroom. Usually, "giftedness" is about a parent's ability to focus their child in a way that the child would likely not focus on their own.

Just look at the science fair projects that get national recognition. It takes no effort at all to determine the difference between a project produced by a kid and a project created by a parent who guided the kid through the steps necessary to produce a scientifically valid conclusion.

I'm all for high schools pairing with universities to let high school students knock out college classes and get high school credit for them, though. English III and English IV are particularly useless classes which do nothing for most kids. Replace them with college classes.

This might be a good place to ask for a book recommendation: where can I read a comprehensive readable intro to linux, which would presumably cover things like types of file systems?
That feedback button on the left is very distracting. I love the irony.
One nice thing about well written, vetted, and regressed open source - the decision to ship Android on ext4 apparently occurred without discussing it with Theodore Ts'o, because there was really no need to. The product (in this case, a file system) spoke for itself, and primary developers only involvement is in their contribution - the file system stands on its own.

Compare this to deploying on a closed source/licensed product, in which conversations with the vendor regarding their future plans, support, and possibly code-escrow in case they went out of business.

I'm assuming a lot of people click on it to see what the word Idempotence means. From the article:

"Idempotence is the property of a software that when run 1 or more times, it only has the effect of being run once."

And the example is, instead of a chron job just running a process once a month or on some other schedule, it runs more frequently but checks if the change has already been made.

(From the latin Idem which means "same" and potence is of course power/potent, so it has the same power/effect however many times you run it)
>It brings up an interesting future where you can’t trust any witness testimony (because people do misremember) or any video, image, or audio evidence due to this technology.

Yeah, I guess there have to be some pros to it ...
There are a number of reasons they can detain you without arresting you. For example, you can be detained because you refused to let the police search your car for drugs and they make you wait while they get a warrant. Similar situations can happen in residences, and a traffic ticket is detaining without arrest.

Asking for arrest will not help your case, nor will asking for a lawyer.

You can be hauled to jail without charges as well, since most places have a grace period before they file the charges.

Site first (it's what I we see initially) :-

None of your nav works in FF4. It's throwing no js errors, but also not responding to a click on any nav element.

It might be a Chrome extension, but you still need the site to work for everyone, especially as you suggest downloading Chrome in your instructions, which makes me think you're targeting users of other browsers too.

The long scroll screen is very pretty, and the styling is great, but you have to go a very long way to find out what the heck it is. Even then I don't know if it's just sharing stuff on facebook or sending people emails. The fact that it's a browser extension and how it helps you share pages should be visible without any scrolling.

There's too much duplicate nav, either lose the next/previous arrows, or the little icons (I'd say lose the next previous).

The extension:-

If this is an extension that shares to facebook, well personally I can't see myself adding browser bloat for a feature that is built into most pages themselves nowadays, and often targeted to specific content rather than a whole page.

And if it just sends emails to people, well this might just be me, but I just drag the favicon onto mail, and then just start typing peoples names into the to: and lo and behold auto-complete kicks in.

"Typing out whole email addresses is so 2005" more like so 2000 or before. No-one has typed a whole email address into a mail client in a very long time :)
I had the experience that some private messages disappeared, the people i send those never got them. It happend more than once where i am sure about it. Maybe i did something wrong but there is no way to find out.

Since then i never send important messages any more over facebook. There is no way you can be sure they got the messages or can find out why they don't got them. E-Mail feels less like a black box.

I am wondering, what are the legal perspectives of suing NYT for libel at this point. If Scott started a crowdsourcing campaign to fund legal defense, I would gladly throw in a couple of grand. Given the support Scott received when the situation with NYT's plans got public in the first place, this could set a very interesting precedent.
again with the argument about rights? He has no right or capability to force them not to print something, obviously. But he can ask them not to, and they can choose to be amenable to his request or not. Him asking them not to publish his name because he believes it could threaten his career, then them doing it anyway, is a dick move. But you know that's the argument I'm making - at this point you're just being needlessly obtuse.
He was concerned about people finding Scott Alexander when they searched for Scott Siskind. Whether the NYT article would be positive or negative was irrelevant.

You analogy doesn't reflect the article.

Disclaimer: I didn't read much of the analysis you linked. I'm not a virologist, but I do have a PhD in Bayesian Statistics.

As a general rule, I don't take this kind of analysis via repeated repeated repeated repeated repeated repeated repeated application of Bayes' Rule with somewhat-to-completely arbitrary probabilities at each step very seriously. At all.

It's a kind of gish gallop [1] with additional window dressing purporting to wrap it all up into one easy number. From a probabilistic point of view it ignores any dependency between observed facts, which is a serious issue but not necessarily the most damning one.

This particular case is even worse than usual. According to a quick Ctrl-F-aided skim of the document, the author doesn't identify a single fact that increases the probability of zoonotic origin, which is extremely suspicious. If every single available fact in a complicated issue points to the same conclusion that's probably because you are messing with your facts, not because that's how things actually are.

After noticing the one-sided-ness of the Bayesian updates I rolled my eyes and closed the tab.

don’t try to earn cheap rhetorical points by misconstruing part of analogies and then taking them too far

That isn't what's happening. Your analogy was criticized, and now instead of taking it as an opportunity to refine your point and move the ball forward on a worthwhile conversation, you're digging in and demanding everyone just agree with you because you spoke up.

I even agreed with you on the merit and overall point of your post, but pointed out that calling people willfully distributing content to others who don't have to pay for it isn't a "freak storm". It's deliberate action.

That statistical data is pretty bunk. What constitutes an 'event?' It seems that they cast a pretty broad net if they came up with thousands of them. There was a protest in my town with all of 30 people in attendance - does that count? For several nights in a row I tuned in to the news in my state to watch straight up riots in Minneapolis.

It's clear from the pictures of what happened in the capitol that it was done by a tiny fraction of people from the protests, so you don't need any statistical analysis for that.

As the commenter you are replying to stated, Discord is not decentralized.

Wait, so is the idea of those proposals that the federal government or the courts or the lawyers are going to be in charge of deciding what counts as aggressive moderation as opposed to regular moderation? Is that supposed to be better?

Also, your comment is confusing because "limiting moderation to illegal content and viagra spam" was the legal limit before section 230, if I understood correctly, so it's not making it clear what the difference is between "clarifying" and "repealing".
> We're not debating anymore. We just assume we're right.

Election officials and reputable news sources have repeatedly stated why there is no reason to believe the election was stolen. There is no assumption about who is right, only repeated proof.

Without a platform to spread disinformation, there would have been just a few dozen people who believed otherwise, and the raid on the Capitol would not have happened.

> After all, "idiot" used to refer to mentally disabled people and few would consider that word to be particularly offensive today.

Sure, if your friend lovingly jokes that you're an "idiot" you won't be offended, but the same can be said for most insults or slurs.

However, insults that previously were medical terms can carry particular heft for some people. Try telling the women in your life they are being "hysterical" when they are unhappy with you. Both law and medicine stopped using those words for a reason.

Personally, I wouldn't like being called an idiot, and I would take issue with that word being used to describe my loved ones.
