> All jokes aside, Terry is writing to an audience where this is utterly elementary.

One of the things I find fascinating about the Internet is the effect it has on writing when you have so little control over who your audience is.

Every now and then, a blogger or Twitterer used to writing for some niche audience catches the larger eye of the Internet zeitgeist and all of the sudden momentarily finds themselves with a much larger, very different audience, who perceive their work entirely differently because they lack the context the author presumed.

I wonder how much of the modern trends of political correctness, trigger warnings, etc. come from this experience where you can no longer safely make any assumptions about your audience. At the same time, it's not possible to write effectively when you assume the audience could be anyone, even a potentially malicious aggressor.

The article did suggest that a creative act had to be both novel and useful. There are an infinite number of useless uses for a sock. Enumerating them is not creative; it's random, like rolling a die.

Creativity requires both imagination and judgement -- for each idea you conceive, you must also judge its practical utility to serve some known purpose. Or imagine some unknown purpose that it also might serve...

"In shoe world, all hats look just like shoes, but no one wears shoes on their feet. As such, nobody ever invented a sock, nor can they imagine any use for it. After all, why would you put a sock on your head?"

"Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect works as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward-reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them. In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story-and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read with renewed interest as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about far-off Palestine than it was about the story you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know."
The history says that restaurant was established in 1850s when the owners hired a chef from the original Bianyifang, and that the name was common amongst several restaurants. Sounds like a separate business to me.

Not at all, although Dr Peterson has spent a lot of time arguing that it is. In particular, he thinks that a recent addition of gender to anti-discrimination law means something about the sort of gender pronouns you can use. He has not been dissuaded in his opinion by a great number of people with much better qualifications in that sort of law.
Yeah, my parents moved from NYC to Dallas in 1979 (a few years before I was born). Driving everywhere was something they had to get used to. When I was a little kid we took a few trips to NYC to visit extended family, and to prepare me for how different it was I remember my mom telling me that Manhattan may be the only place in the country where most people don't drive anywhere or even own cars. That had to have been in the late '80s, and it was based on memories my mom had of the '70s.

Honestly I find little endian less confusing. The only confusing thing is how little endian value are written in hex because within each byte they are written as big endian.

Other than that little endian makes more sense. The fact that Arabic numbers are written in big endian is weird. Nobody questions it because it's all anyone is taught.
> A law that empowers kangaroo courts sin't "simply asking nice." A law that empowers those courts to use an unscientific "unconscious bias" test that claims to get into your head isn't "simply asking nice." A law that can result in dismissal from your job isn't "simply asking nice."

I'd like to underline this statement. Making this into a law that will impact employment, sentencing, etc., is not a polite request. It's the power of the state. When that involves a certain way of speaking, or thinking, a lot of us civil libertarian types get very uneasy, regardless of the merits of the issue at hand.
The same was done "back in the day". On our systems, we had a reliable transport protocol (precursor to TCP/IP) that took advantage of the fact that the network and hardware was all BE. Everyone tried to squeeze every last bit of performance out of the machines and avoiding the byte shuffling was not an insignificant performance gain. It's not surprising that people are now doing the same thing with x86-64 given its dominance.

Cool concept. Interesting balance as the token reflects a capital injection in 30 startups with fluctuating valuations against its own coin.

On second thought, feels like vanity. Throw in $100 and boom! you’re an angel investor. The token is receiving 2.5-10% in any given startup. I don’t like that it depends on how much they raise to determine their stake. Let’s say they keep 50%. If 22X receives 5% of a startup then half that is split by potentially thousands of token holders. The ROI is foreseeably in the token performance. Like all of them.

Offloading to the client device in order to free up server resources quite often means taking the load your server could handle once and multiplying it millionfold, once per each of your million visitors.

From a post elsewhere in these comments:

> Another stand holds that there are only two really important groups: the powerful / powerless, which could also be seen as the "oppressors" and "oppressed." Everyone is supposed to be in one of the two groups. This gets grafted onto identity politics in rather unpleasant ways (IMO).

> So in the pronoun debate, people who are transgendered or non-gendered are the oppressed and need help; everyone who is not "helping" them is the oppressor and must be opposed.

Same thing applies here. Take note of who is applying these -ist labels, and who they are being applied to: anyone in the outgroup.

I would be floored to discover if the majority of these strawmen "fascists" and "racists" are a collective by any definition other than "not on board with the cause."
I fail to see the distinction between "he's alarmed and outraged that proscriptive laws governing his speech have been passed", and seeing himself as a victim of oppression. But this distinction seems very important to some people, who object to my characterization of him as a self-styled victim of oppression.

Just because he doesn't use the word "oppression" in that context doesn't mean it isn't his broad meaning. Coercion and oppression are more or less interchangeable.
Replace "engineered ourselves into" with "chosen to" and you will realize the actual problem facing anyone who dislikes cars.

When it comes to ease of getting job, it has a lot to do with your locale.

Sounds like you're in the US, which is a good start. If you're in the valley, you should be able to get interviews fairly easily, and meeting others working in tech. From there you can reflect on at what step you are being dropped, and improve.

If you're in a place where there aren't much tech job or tech people, well, that's tougher. Maybe try some of the remote gig resources, but landing those can be tricky and the pay is generally lower.

Well, something is enshrined in Canadian law, but the heat of the debate over whether what Peterson claims Bill C-16 does is a desirable thing for a law to do sometimes obscures the fact that people—including people who are experts in law, which Peterson is not—have challenged his characterization of what the law actually does.
The Lebesgue measure is not defined for all subsets of R. It is defined on the Lebesgue sigma algebra which is larger than the Borel sigma algebra.

You could instead choose a sigma algebra that does not contain {0}. Trivially, you could choose the standard Lebesgue measure restricted to {{}, R}.

>It's hard for public or mass communications with people who have rapidly-evolving preferences and sets of things that can cause offense.

I'm not convinced of this. "Hi all" works as a salutation, in public speaking, you can substitute ladies and gentlemen with lots of far more engaging variants (eg: "Dear friends", "my fellow students" (a favourite of one of my best instructors in college), "distinguished guests", etc), announcers have been using "attention all passengers" and other formal identifiers for a while.
Just a small nit: the CPUs are all still actively developed and produced. For how much longer is anyone's guess. You shouldn't think of them as "very old systems". I run modern code happily on 64 CPU 4.3ghz POWER8 machines :)

I worked on a code base using the LEON (SPARC, big-endian) and also ARM in little-endian mode for space. The code was common for both endians. I followed the sage advice of Rob Pike on it:

There's no "investing" in crypto-assets.

Investing means you would make money from the activity of an underlying enterprise, but with cryptocoin software you're simply buying a number in a database that someone else already created. With each new block the supply inflates more. Sometimes the supply is premined. Often blockchain "startups" tokenize their service, which would be like if Gmail started asking for payments in gift cards but worse because the service or product doesn't even exist yet.

Most of these database tokens were created for little to no effort (see the 10,000BTC pizza).

Risks like Bitfinex/Tether [1] collapsing, or the unregulated exchanges manipulating prices along with those large stake holders cashing out could easily evaporate the price far below what the last few weeks have seen.

Market confidence could be lost and it would be incredibly hard to regain because database coins have no inherent value beyond the hope that you'll find another buyer.

I think the difference is consensual sharing of the information. Many would probably be OK with certain types of information collection, but the way some things are collected without overt notice or consent (Example: Wi-Fi SSID to GPS long/lat pairings on phones) is understandably concerning to some.

> If someone can devise a way for me to share my information while controlling how that information can be used later, it would go a long way to striking the right balance. I guess that's more or less "personal DRM" for our information.

It would not be easy to do this in a technical manner, as it could be defeated (as with most DRM). It sounds like a legislative solution would be best.

I live less than a five minute walk from a Whole Foods (Chicago - North Ave), so I shop there quite a bit even though I'm not a huge fan of the store. While I haven't seen empty shelves like the photos from the article, I have become frustrated by how often they are out of the items that I'm looking for. Four or five straight trips they didn't have rosemary, and it took a third trip and asking someone who was stocking vegetables to get parsnips (requests from previous trips resulted in "Sorry, we're out"). The last time that I shopped there, they were out of maybe 5 of the 6 things that I was looking for. My wife and I agreed that this was one of the more useful Business Insider articles that we've read. It's not a great article, but it answered a mystery that had been bugging us over the past few months.

I seem to remember that the Whole Foods employees who would check us out used to always ask, "Did you find everything that you were looking for?" I haven't heard that in a while. Maybe that's related to the changes in stocking?

The stories supporting your cherished beliefs are mostly bungled reporting, too.
Yep, that's exactly my sentiment.

I signed up for Amazon Prime for a month trial, and it seems pointless.

There's no Amazon Netherlands, so ordering from Amazon Germany instead who do have a lot. Not everything is subject to free delivery with Prime though. They wrote next day delivery. It took them 3 days. I can already order a lot from Bol.com with free shipping from 20 EUR order, and free return S&H. I suppose this is where, internationally, there's going to be larger differences.

Already got Spotify, not switching.

Already got cable, Netflix, and HBO. Not gonna add another. Already can't consume all this.

Free ebooks, I got a Kobo w/o DRM.

Twitch I don't touch with a 10 pole feet. I use Steam primarily, and bought various games on sale but I don't have time for games.

If you're using two of these services though, and it'd mean you'd ditch the competitor, then Amazon Prime is already worth it.
