This is an important point, but one I feel the article acknowledges well.

There are many impossibility problems that can be solved by relaxing some constraints (like wait-free) or by accepting some unsolvability (we don’t worry too hard about our programs halting in practice, and we generally trust compressed sensing results because the probability of failure is provably delta, say), or just by changing some desiderata.

Great examples include arrows impossibility theorem or the no good clustering result, each of which have solutions if the assumptions that operationalize our intuition are changed slightly.
We aren't that different.
You’ll be better off taking them to small claims court.

I'm sure you can convince someone to "lend" their address to you for some $$ so you could create some accounts. Plus if you maintain good opsec with those accounts + compare the posts between the two accounts (to make sure there aren't any "watermarks" in the posts), it would be impossible for them to catch you.
What’s ironic is that Rails’ turbo links improves CRUD performance almost to the point of an SPA with close to zero impact on complexity.

Unnecessarily building websites as SPAs, while likely assuring employment for many, is a suffocating experience, especially in the long run. I just can’t make myself do it.
The only situation in which a hospital is required to treat you - public hospitals included - is if you go to ER and are not in a stable condition. They will not provide e.g. medicine for lifelong chronic conditions, or the tests required to make sure that medicine isn't killing you until you're practically already dead. They won't provide necessary surgery unless you're literally about to die from not having it. They won't provide psychiatric help. It is not a treatment option for anything except a car crash or severe acute illness.
Two problems. The name is a nightmare for any large company. Countless people have brought this up and the dev team is apparently deaf to the issue. Idiots.

The second major issue is technical. Building something like Spanner requires a very accurate time source that absolutely will not skew. Ever. This is how Google avoids partitions and essentially breaks CAP theory. Perfect time gives you globally accurate timestamps without exchanging data. Distributed transactions without locks or shared state, just usually benign contention.

They're not that hard to build, just no demand. Possibly some issues with ITAR preventing such accurate clocks from becoming commodity hardware? It could easily lead to extremely accurate IMU's which are definitely limited. Not sure, but that's what I ran into researching fibre optic gyros. Atomic clocks could probably be built on SMT scale for a few cents IMO.

As usual, it seems Google is already doing this and has been for years. We either need to wait for the trickle down that Google thankfully does after about 5 years... Or get some deep pocketed tech behemoth to foot the bill for everyone else
Then I guess the vast majority of people are insane because Mac use in Enterprise is essentially non-existent.

That's precisely the author's point: Torvalds interest in free software is practical, not ideological.
I understand where you are coming from and I appreciate the thought, but - if you think about it from a teenager's perspective - it's a very relatable example. Teens will be teens, and they will communicate about that kind of stuff no matter what. If I had daughters, I'd be really proud if they programmed their own little protocol rather than just sending paper notes back and forth :)

fungibility is not about a standard. fungibility applies at every level.

My point was that people are giving up an addiction because the addiction to fat is actually stronger. Do you think Americans woke up one day, realizing their love of sugar was very strong, but gave it up for something less enjoyable? That did not happen.
Those who don't understand history are destined to repeat it?

also that approach seems dependent on all projects you might want to grep (in this example) building cleanly into an external directory, which is naturally never going to be 100%: some people don't know why other software supports those options, some people don't care, some people think that's the wrong solution to the problem, etc. Ultimately someone comes along and builds up a big enough body of experience that they can account for and fix some fraction of the brain dead behavior out in the wild, and the rest of us get a useful tool.
If you share it, and it shows up in a public article from your sharing, then you broke the rule. It's not that complicated.

Easy solution: make the tests count for a significant chunk of the students' grades. Or at certain years, require a passing grade on the standardized tests to be promoted to the next grade.

It's not an emoji, but as a similar sentence-ending mark, you often see /s used to indicate sarcasm. Similarly, "Kappa" may not be very popular outside a certain subculture, but it's very recognizable as snark at Twitch and adjacent communities.
We are lacking emoji for many important emotions, but IMO we should fix that by adding emoji. I think emoji are much more aligned with natural modes of human expression than punctuation marks are.

To be fair, at least in the Southeastern US, NextDoor is more...RacistDoor.

I've seen people ask the best way to report black people to the cops so they'll be kept from driving through "our safe neighborhood." It's so full of dog whistles my neighbors dogs bark when I open the app.

The only reason NextDoor is freaking out is because they know there's enough of that sort of material to really cause a mass exodus if it ever escaped the neighborhoods it's posted in.

That said...it's...a weird issue, to be sure. NextDoor tried to encourage an expectation of privacy but like...who actually expects that? Really. Anyone with a credit card matching the address they key in can get in. It's not the post card only thing any more.

I could easily change my billing address on my credit card, sign up for some neighborhood on the west coast, and then change my CC address back. Done.

NextDoor has done nothing to actually secure the neighborhood, so it's not like it means anything to say this to the customers. If anything, the neighborhood members could possibly sue NextDoor for overstating the privacy of their posts.

I guess the conclusion is: I'm not just throwing my hands up and saying, "Oh well it's online no privacy!" I'm more saying this is probably the absolute worst hill to choose to fight that battle on.
> A female grade school teacher, at a private school, tried to explain to me how "girls brains are wired differently from boys"

While an oversimplification, this seems to be generally true; females are biologically different than males and those differences seems to have psychological/behavioral manifestations.

Its still difficult to isolate socialization effects from biological ones, but the indications seem to be that there are real, biologically grounded differences.

> and therefore "we need to teach girls to be more like boys."

Wait, what? Wouldn't that be a reason to stop trying to do that, at least where those biological grounded differences have strong effects?
Understood and agreed.

However my belief is that financial models should not attempt to mirror reality but present a simplified version of reality (all the complexity of reality makes models too complicated and fragile thus reducing their utility).

So the question isn't really "how's it actually work?" but "what's the best way to simply model it in a way that kinda, sorta approximates reality?"

I'm looking for the right balance between accuracy and complexity.
I still feel like people havent figured out this internet thing.

If I want to report on a post by say some scrubby Islamic State propagandist I'm going to do it. They can ban me but it will just become part of the reporting. Then give me a few minutes and I'll be back on the site doing my thing again.

Terrible terms of service don't make a private garden. Neither does IP/phone number fingerprinting. I agree with you though, it is not that complicated.

Yes it is unnecessarily snarky and if I could edit my comment I would remove that line.
Data can be replicated infinitely, for zero cost, with no notice to it's creator. The only effective way to protect data against universal distribution is to keep it on your machine (and keep that machine secure).

With Gmail, big G has everything. More relevant to the grandparent, the recipients of your mail have everything you send them. They can forward it anywhere and there's nothing you can do about it.

But in the enterprise you'd only have a few tested laptops and the would be tested and configured by IT. It may be an issue for home users, but this doesn't make it not user friendly enough for enterprise users.

Yes, but it isn't realistic to expect this small restaurant has the time or funds to do this in a competent way versus a millions-of-dollars company.
Treating learning as a process of moving information into children’s minds and then checking it’s quality via tests is an old, inefficient and misaligned with what we know about learning.

It is a broken approach which makes sense in the context of training factory workers while providing childcare for their worker parents. Works so-so for the bean counters at the tremendous cost of crushing ebmveryone else.

It is abysmal in the face of the pace at which the workforce moves and doesn’t even come close to what today’s kids actually need.

Tests are just one of the symptoms.

And thanks to papers recently declassified, it is now known that during World War Two Elizebeth helped to smash a network of Nazi spies trying to foment fascist revolutions in South America – their ultimate goal being an attack on the US. Many of these spies were arrested as a direct consequence of her and her team’s work at the US Coastguard. However, for decades J Edgar Hoover and the FBI claimed more or less all the credit for this achievement. Elizebeth, sworn to secrecy and uninterested in publicity, stayed quiet.

Kind of what I figured. It isn't very wise or practical to loudly advertise who does secret work during their own lifetime.

I suspect we know as much as we do about Turing in part because he committed suicide at a relatively young age. When he was actually doing code breaking for the military and couldn't talk about it, other military units referred to his unit as "The Do Nothings" (IIRC).

Percontation is vastly underrated.
To me it sounds like an old story; content host doesn't want the obligation to moderate & review the vast quantities of content posted to their site. If the content never makes it to reporters, nobody will be plastering their name on the front of the paper demanding NextDoor hire an army of content moderators.

With regards to Juciero, my point isn't "I think it's dumb so it shouldn't exist." It's "many people agree this is dumb and it shouldn't have had money poured into it given it clearly would not survive." It's that Juciero was a capitalistic failure that was treated like a success because Silicon Valley is out-of-touch and self-obsessed. I wouldn't call myself a capitalist, and I have no love for it as a system, but I get how it works.

With regards to Theranos, my point also stands. It's baldly evil on its face and shouldn't exist. Capitalism and "it's none of your business" are not excuses.
Did he mean change it client-side, or if WhatsApp the company changes this setting to allow more privacy (allow users to hide their status).
Interesting. I am a NextDoor Lead and recently had a user throw a fit over another user who had committed the unforgivable sin of correcting his grammar. He was demanding he be banned.

I told him essentially he needed to calm down and avoid conflict (this user is always getting into fights) in addition to that it wasn't in my power as lead to ban people. He said I was being "very unprofessional" and threatened to go to the local newspaper about how we weren't taking his reports seriously - as if they'd care. I explained that I don't work for NextDoor, I'm just one of his neighbors with slightly more power than him.

He told me to "never contact him again" lol. OK. Good deal.

Anyway, I thought that struck kind of close to this.
> You have to assume they did some research and that's what girls want.

Or they did some research and that's what potential members of the target audience who aren't already buying into existing products of the same type aside from consideration of the gender-orientation of marketing want.

That those people are largely girls is, well, kind of beside the point: why compete in a crowded market when by marketing in a particular way you can compete in a more open niche.

No way. The number of screwed up orders I had went down massively when I started ordering online. No longer do I have a pained conversations where we're both facing a language barrier. No wonder do I have to wonder "did they actually get that right?"

Emoji are cute. Maybe the Japanese word for cute (可愛い) might grasp the concept a little better, but they are _something_ which should be fairly universally recognizable.

They fit in a certain kind of personal communication, and maybe horrifyingly into some literature, but they don't fit in a lot of places.

I'm ok using emoji with my girlfriend or if I'm trying to be sarcastic or ridiculous, but that's a rather narrow set of my communication. In short it's difficult to show decorum and use emoji. There's nothing wrong with silliness unless you can't do anything else.

We are in a situation where written language use is different and more extensive than days past and it's weakness in English shows. It's difficult to express yourself properly in many situations and while emoji are one way, little cute pictures don't fit the communication gaps.
So I can talk to a human, who may have trouble understanding my accent, and slowly read out an order, then have it read back, correct it, then pay by reading out all the numbers on my credit card over the phone? And this is somehow better than using an app, where I just click what I want and hit go?

>They had no weight to your grades and there was zero incentive to do well.

This doesn't seem like that bad of an idea. One of the bigger problems with tests is that they tend to become a terrible metric once people start preparing for them specifically (and test-prep can suck the oxegyn out of real education). If the students and teachers don't care about the test, it is much easier (but still difficult) to make a test that gives useful feedback to the school system. Of course, you want students to take it seriously enough while there taking it.
I occasionally use interrobang (?! - not sure if there is a unicode character), but the rest seem quite useless.

Also, this site doesn't let you copy text...WTF developers?
Yes, boil the entire year down to one or two tests which have been shown to be a poor indicator of knowledge and performance. We'll just start holding back 25% of students. What could go wrong?
Education is typically very important in a Jewish household, STEM, medicine, law, and business are likewise very respected, along with musical talent. I’m Jewish, and I’d say the cultural norm ranged from supportive of the things I mentioned, to extremely demanding of them. I’ve noticed similar patterns from childhood well into adulthood in my Asian friends, whether they’re Indian, Japanese, Chinese or Korean.

Drive matters. A family with expectations, and generations of educational aspirations matter, if you’re trying to excel.
YES. This is basically proxying to S3. Why would you ever want to do that? You want to give clients a presigned URL to do the upload. Lots of ORMs support "file fields" though which encourage you to do this or something similar.

Sure, but it's the difference between power and complete automation. A "robot" washes my clothes, but folding my clothes reliably is beyond the state of the art as of now. I suspect robot chefs might be on that level of difficulty, plus they would have to keep a very general purpose arm clean. Meanwhile automated translation, which is a very difficult problem, has good-enough automation.
Can you provide a reference to those countries with the best education systems?
This figure gets trotted out all the time and it's tiresome because it is so unconvincing to anyone who is even a bit sceptical.

That's a bit like asking what percentage of Christian priests believe God exists. There's kind of a selection bias there.

More helpful are broader surveys including earth scientists, geologists, etc, which (as I recall, not having the source handy) come up much more conflicted, close to 50% disagreement on various critical questions.

There also the issue of what questions are asked. It's easy to ask, 'is the climate changing', get a near-unanimous response to this near-tautological statement, and declare victory. But that question has nothing to do with any real disagreements real people are having.

The actual questions at hand are much more delicate. First among them is the question of what question we should even be asking.
They do and I think its an argument for the sarcmark.
