Isn't not knowing who has oversight for this kind of thing creepy?
Well too bad most don't understand what fairness is. Far too many are quick to discount the work or effort of others because they do not understand the work they do. Its like, I don't know how to do that but it can't be that hard so its obvious they have too much. This is especially true when comparing labor that is more physically involved than that which requires more application of mental ability.

One thing most miss out on is they want fairness but don't want to give up their stuff or such because it is so much tied to who has how much stuff, money, and more. Far too many will state unequivocally that those richer than them don't pay their "fair" share when those same people contribute a higher percentage and far more wealth into the system.

This is primarily driven by politicians who profit by dividing people. That is what most people miss. They hear about all the disagreement in government as if that is a problem. In the US the government wasn't designed to be fully cooperative, it was designed to make governing difficult so as the federal government would not overrun the states. Where events were not to be treated with such division there are statements to that fact.

Yet politicians spend more time pitting people against each other to preserve their own status and this is why people don't understand what fairness let alone equality is.
Also, "Laudato si'" was eventually translated into Latin (but it was published without an official Latin translation at first).

According to Wikipedia, the first encyclical that was not written in Latin was "Non abbiamo bisogno", from 1931.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non_abbiamo_bisogno

Both "Non abbiamo bisogno" and "Mit brennender Sorge" criticized (what were to be) Axis governments in their own languages. Maybe that was somehow thought to be a special case.
In which the author disdains the aesthetic of the crossover. I'm not sure if the author dislikes the idea of crossovers or dislikes the fact that crossovers look similar. What change would best please him?

I think it would be very fair to say that car companies don't spend much time branding their crossovers - look at the flagships and sport cars for that. Crossovers are functional vehicles - be comfortable, transport kids and groceries, be safe at a decent price. Every vehicle is a compromise - some are more extreme than others - the Hellcat for instance drives a hard bargain, but still has to make concessions to be street legal.

Also, as other commenters have pointed out, there are well differentiated crossovers that are not pictured: The Element, the Crosstour, Ford FLEX, etc.

A large part of the brand image of a vehicle is its front end sheet metal and grille, which are not shown in the picture. For example, if you look at the Buick and Chevrolet, you'll see that they are the exact same vehicle in profile. Headlights, Grille, Front end, taillights, and components set them apart.

I think the sad part with latin is that although it has had such a massive influence on every western european language it has essentially completely died out (little usage in catholic church, no speakers, decline in educational system, etc), and it does seem that no one cares. But its not only Latin where this is the case, the majority (up to 90%) of the worlds languages will die out over the next century, lost forever, many undocumented.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endangered_language)
That is what I find most troubling.

The author states this, but for a language to live you have to use it "People talking to people", but very few countries try to enpower their endangered language speakers to actually use their language on a daily basis. They dont seem to promote programs for radio/tv in those languages, etc.

However, it is great that people are actually using latin as it should be for oral communication, if this were the case in classrooms it would certainly be much easier on students to acquire the language (as attested to by foreign language learning methods).
I don't. I don't care about private contracts. This behavior is wrong and should be stopped.
> The problem as I see it is people's strange desire to be popular/center of others' attention instead of being themselves.

People don't necessarily want to be popular/center of attention, but most (though not all) people want to be part of a social group. Humans are social animals, that's how we arose and that's how our closest cousins work.

If the intent was different, then why didn't they explicitly mention that?
"Forget principles, do what is (in your opinion) right" is exactly the kind of good intention with which the road to hell is paved.

Especially when the principle you're forgetting is the one that limits your own power. That's a very tempting sort of principle to forget.

Having worked as an education beat reporter in a number of really small, really wealth-divided communities for many years, I can tell you that state education is unlikely to ever be the solution to the wealth gap.

Honestly, from my time in the trenches of listening to trite, small, yet passionate people discussing some of the harder parts of educating children (i.e. hard to educate when they're coming to school having eaten 3000+ calories from horribly un-nutritious sources), I've learned that there's no easy solution.

You can't bus those kids out of the low-tax neighborhoods into good schools if they're still going home to a shit environment. The best you can do is stand up and try to mentor one or two kids in your neighborhood in small ways, and encourage others to do the same. Distributed cultural-standard building. That's the best I've got.
And? You advocate for every government official to power grab as much as they can and let the courts sort it out?

The courts are there in case of mistakes, they are not intended as the primary way for government to function.

Do you realize just what you are advocating for? Every little police chief will claim any road he can, until a court tells him to stop. Every property inspector will levy fines for parking tickets until told he can't. Nothing stops me from setting up a toll booth at the end of the road, until the court tells me to stop.

No, this is not the way. People should, on their OWN, know what they should and should not do.

The Republicans felt this was a power grab by the FCC, you would have been happy if in fact they had grabbed that power, but that's because you like the issue at hand. Next time it will be for something you don't like.
Maybe it was because I didn't value any relationship I made during highschool then. I assumed that I would likely lose contact with nearly all of those people, and I was correct.

I can count on one hand the people I still talk to from those days, and they are the only ones that went on to accomplish anything. They decided to keep in touch.

None of the others matter to me. The only thing I was focused on was getting the hell out of highschool and college and being left alone to do my own thing.

I find it hard to believe I'm the only one that was capable of taking this approach.

I'm 28 if this matters at all.
But "checked" on a text input isn't undefined; it exists and is false. It's not the same as just being able to hang arbitrary crap on any DOM node; it exists in the API, and some other nonsensical input properties don't and are undefined, and still others throw errors when you try to access them. It's bonkers API inconsistency that can reasonably be called out.
I think that is a lot better because it implies that each player has to work for it to the best of their abilities, we're just establishing fair rules for the game.

There's another term I'm seeing misinterpreted earlier in the thread too that is relevant. We use mathematical distribution of income growth over the population as the metric and people misinterpret it to mean distribution of wealth in the Marxist sense. It's just a measurement of who has what, but it implies a solution (to some) that has a lot of political baggage.
> It looks like a core part of how humans work.

I would say that this seems to be true in the modern phenomenon of post-pubescent teenagers being forced to spend large amounts of time together without any real responsibility. I wonder whether it was true back when this was the age one would begin apprenticeships and taking on actual real-world responsibility -- if you weren't already working out in the fields.
The issue is the RSUs are super backloaded.

Such a blanket statement is a tad optimistic.
This was originally a Firefox extension, and it is still available if you visit the above page on Firefox, but as pointed out in another comment, it's a bit buggy and I'm not sure when I'll have time to bring it up to speed with the Chrome version. Frankly, I had high hopes when Mozilla announced that they were making it easy to port Chrome extensions to Firefox, and my plan was to contribute to [that project](https://github.com/jetpack-labs/chrome-tailor), but it doesn't seem to be very active.

It really depends on how successful the Chrome version becomes and how many people request this.

If you write me an email (will@gethibou.com), I can keep you up to date with my plans to update the Firefox extension.

It's a lot of work to fix this benchmark, which is fairly contrived to begin with. To start, have to adjust every sample to accept a warmup time, then run time (which is likely multiple samples), measuring results in that run time, both speed and performance. And you also have to be careful that the compiler is then not optimizing out the repetitions in the runtime, while still allowing optimizations that would produce the best performance.
Once you lose a master key, blockchain or no blockchain, your identity splits. The person who stole your key can impersonate you perfectly.

Having a blockchain does not help at all in telling the attackers from the honest party. What a blockchain lets you do is arbitrarily decide on a single one of the parties as the canonical branch.This is crucial for money, but of no practical value for identity.
Are you kidding? That'd be awesome if we could skip these expensive tests and diagnose Parkinson's by deodorant brand preference!
> concept of identity

I like the working definition "set of identifiers" because it frames identify an externalized bunch of labels, understood as relational propositions - truth uncertain - distinct from the purely internal concept of "self".

Works in a non-digital setting too: "name? dob? employer? nationality?"
Pure coincidence. Is there a particular episode I should listen to?
While Cypher borrows a lot of (good) ideas from SQL, the two languages are fundamentally different in their underlying model. SQL deals with Relational Algebra, while Cypher deals with Graph Theory.

For that pattern to work in SQL, your SQL engine would need to be able to view its relations (tables) as a graph. I'm not smart enough to sort this out in my head, but my instinct tells me that it's better to have the two models separate, mixing them in one query seems like a recipe for confusion.
9 User-Experience Tips to Rule Them All
Do you have a way to quiz the user? If it's just review instead of attempted recall, it's not near as effective.
Consumer software options must be added carefully and parsimoniously to avoid the "death" envisioned by the employee. Apps like this should just do the right thing, and PMs should spend some time figuring out what that is. If you want to spend hours tweaking something then get a bicycle or something. Once the interface is complicated at all, it basically just lies to 90% of users. (cf. Facebook and their ever-changing privacy options)
You can say anything with faulty analogies.

The fault in your analogy is that you seem to think that oxygen is somehow less important in situations where it's easily available. You say, "Just when I'm diving or doing something where it is equally important." But oxygen is always equally important. It's just that in most situations it's easily available to you: all you have to do is inhale.

Your analogy isn't even internally correct, but even if it were, it still doesn't prove anything about privacy, because privacy isn't easily available, at least not over technological channels. Privacy isn't oxygen, so accurate claims about oxygen don't imply anything about privacy at all.

Analogies are for explanation, not evidence. If you can't make an argument without an analogy, you're may want to consider that you're wrong.
Jim Fuller just gave a very nice colloquium at my department on this result! Measuring the magnetic fields at the surfaces of stars is generally a difficult task, and it was thought essentially impossible to measure the field strength inside the star. It was very unexpected that Jim and his collaborators figured out a way to do that, albeit with large error bars and only for a particular class of stars.

> Not all that hard or complicated.

A checkbox isn't complicated in itself, but there are a few things about it that are complicated.

(1) All the thinking the customer needs to do once they see the checkbox in order to understand exactly what information is shared with which legal entities in which territories. A checkbox that says "personal data shared with companies in the US" that might mean recording your email address with a centralised logging system in a comparatively secure datacentre... or it might mean sharing your photo, location data & bank balance with a mob front. If you don't include that detail you're not giving the customer a basis to make a sound decision... but if you do communicate it you're dumping a ton of cognitive load onto them while they're trying to transact, and hence shitting on your own conversion rate.

(2) All the thinking in the creation & maintenance of that checkbox... involving web ops, legal, product management, most likely marketing & biz dev too as they're also likely candidates for using personal data in SaaS tools. Then add in work done by regulators & auditors to verify that the checkbox is actually represented truthfully... because I don't see how a sane P/L owner would agree to reduce their conversion rate voluntarily with no promise of a boost to LTV or CAC

(3) Change management, when you have a database full of people who've consented to their data being stored in Ireland and your marketing team is screaming to use some shit-hot new CRM from Israel or wherever and you need to get in touch with every single one before being able to use it. In reality you'd just have to be allowed to just make 'reasonable effort' to contact them, which in reality would just be an email or a letter notifying them of intent... but still, rather than just being allowed to run your IT you now have to inform your customers how you're running your IT and expect them all to understand, risking misunderstandings and reduced LTV.

Don't misunderstand, I like privacy, I'm a fan of Snowden, I want customers to own their own data. I just don't buy this checkbox idea.

It is factually correct, but perhaps a little misleading.

Hack Reactor indeed has these statistics, but their application process is probably the most difficult/selective of any of the bootcamps. The people going into the program, are usually, already quite good.

As an example, I have a friend who graduated from General Assembly, didn't feel quite prepared, so did Hack Reactor AS WELL. (ie, 2 separate bootcamps, one right after the other). On top of, of course, a college degree (albeit non-CS)

It is kind of like how Harvard has very good hiring stats. Is Harvard really that good, or does their admissions process just select for people who are almost certainly going to be successful, no matter what college they go to.

Not sure, your exact idea has been mentioned many times as "I really want it to exist, but don't have time to do it".

The first mention in the episode notes goes back to 2012 (http://techzinglive.com/page/1077/189-tz-discussion-synthesi...) I think, it mentions spaced repetition and those two were close together.
Organizing school districts by geography, and then enforcing that children attend the school nearest them, is a bureaucratic convenience that a) makes it easy to centrally plan resources by forecasting student population, b) eliminates competition for the families' business. In New Orleans they simply started allowing students to attend any school in the city, and the schools' budgets were adjusted for the enrolled population they accepted. The outcomes jumped substantially (there were other reforms as well).

That's what you say. Biologically we aren't designed that way. We're designed to seek status and achievement as it aids in reproduction. Understanding the universe doesn't help you achieve this goal in anyway. It probably hinders you.

Too many people like to think about themselves as robotic savants desiring only to be logical and more intelligent. This is a fantasy story that is somewhat true but side steps the issue of what we really want. If you were truly intelligent you would know that biologically speaking what we want is sex, money and status.

In front of you have two doors. You go through door A you can have knowledge of the true nature of the universe and the promise that you have to live like a hobo for the rest of your life. In the other door (door B) you have billions of dollars, the adoration of the most beautiful women in the world, the respect of everyone and the promise that you will die without ever knowing the true nature of the universe.

Which door do you choose? Let's be real. (Door B)
Wow it must be great to be a Rat :-) There must be a story where the humans die off leaving behind a sentient rat species with a really deep medical knowledge.

Thank you, and I'm so glad this is the top-rated comment. Rereading isn't the same as retrieving information, and I want to work on this.

I'd love to implement cloze deletions. My thought is that if there is a note associated with a highlight, the user could click an eye icon to toggle the highlight's visibility. Cloze deletions would then be achieved by copy-pasting the highlight and removing the portion that you want hidden.

If you're familiar with the Hibou UI and have other ideas on how I could smoothly integrate cloze deletion, let me know.

This is a fair point, and I don't disagree, but the lobbying is by no means limited to private corporations. For the best example, look at California and the State prison guard unions, who have consistently argued for more mandatory sentencing guidelines and for more prisons, which enriching themselves in the process.

I want to reiterate that I'm with you on private prisons, but the basic point remains that any group (public or private) will act in what it perceives as its best interests, whether those jibe with the platonic ideal or not.

Incident statement: http://help2.talktalk.co.uk/oct22incident
The cultural (and physical!) distance between Seattle and Vancouver is minimal. Seattle is closer in basically every sense to Vancouver than it is to Salt Lake City. It can't make any sense to call for a unified Seattle-Salt Lake City government before a unified Seattle-Vancouver government. Applying the same policies to Seattle and to Salt Lake City is going to make one of those groups very unhappy.

First of all, Latin can not really "die" as it happens to some languages. A language dies when their last speakers die and nobody else knows how it sounds. Latin is in some sense still alive because lots of people can read and speak it, even if not fluently.

Consider the similar example of Hebrew. During centuries this was a language that was not spoken natively by anyone, but remained alive through its religious literature. With the creation of the state of Israel, hebrew is now a spoken language again.

Second, latin is not a natively spoken language for more than a thousand years already. The last people to speak latin natively were the educated people living in the Roman empire. Everybody else was using so-called vulgar latin that naturally evolved into some of the national languages of Europe. So, it is not a secret that latin has been "dead" and "alive" at the same time for several centuries, and this will probably not change for yet a few more centuries.

My point isn't about putting JS on to DOM, that can be done without web components too. Rather, it's about the lack of proper access to input devices, actual data that matters.
But, this begs the question, as it assumes equality or fairness in the old standard.

The point seems to be that this is not the case, thus provisions are required as a means of correction.
