So is this saying that if retrocausality is possible, then it's akin to the kind of time travel where you may have altered something in the past, but the effects would not manifest until "after" the commencement of the time travel?

Like in a person, if you feel some sort of uncomfortableness that leads you to make a choice, maybe it's because a minute ago, some time traveler traveled back a couple of weeks and planted a seed that made you start feeling uncomfortable!

Maybe all of those, "You know, I never realized until now, but it turns out I've disliked broccoli for years, I don't know why I eat it every day!" statements are a result of retro causal time travel. (In this case, George HW Bush on an anti-broccoli time-traveling crusade.)

1. for many appliance, repair is way more expensive (including the hours you spent on calling and scheduling and waiting (forever) for a never-arrived or always-running-late service guy, I had to just throw it away but just buy a new one instead. is this a problem of the design(say, make it DIY fixable with replace-friendly modular design) or something else?

2. easy to document and repair hardware components, what about failure caused by software? is factory-reset the only way?

Honestly, it was a copy-paste term of service from an auto-generation service. I removed this line and definitely will update the terms with more careful eye soon.
Keybase protocol is public. Write your own client(or you know fork the public codebase), if you don't want to get jammed by "crypto junk".
> this one isn't settled yet

It pretty much is. Cryptography is a niche of computer science and used the word for a while but now that humanity has chosen to use the word for the entire field of distributed and trustless systems it will now and forever mean "cryptocurrencies".

The larger group pretty much always wins and this case is no exception.
Most people that went on to study the same field to the depts of current human understanding? (as in, researchers in microbiology) Perhaps.

Most people that picked enough of the established science of the day and then put those skills to practical use? (as in, nurses and doctors) Probably not.
Exactly, which is what allocating housing in desirable places exclusively to those who already live there would do.
Technically it costs bandwidth and electricity I suppose to make information available...

Not suing people for repairing or tinkering with your hardware is also a "cost" I suppose if you want to phrase it that way, because of the lost revenue you would have gotten from locking down the market and only providing overpriced replacements yourself. It's a cost in the same way that a law against stealing purses imposes a "non-zero cost" on all of us, since we don't have that potential source of revenue available to us anymore...
For the Rustaceans out there, are there any plans to start getting Rust libraries packaged for Linux distros?

Cargo is an amazing build system. But the last time I used it (which was maybe a year ago), I was struck by how tough it would be to use it for compiling a Debian package. At the time, it seemed like a big roadblock against wider Rust adoption.
> You can't deref a String

You can absolutely deref a String. Not necessarily usefully (or to the satisfaction of the compiler) as it yields an unsized `str` (exactly the same as deref'ing an &str) but you can certainly do it.

let a = "foo".to_owned();
let b = &*a;

works perfectly fine.

Incidentally you can also deref' a Vec, that yields a slice (actual sequence, not the commonly seen &[])
I almost spit out my coffee.
I mean that &string should not be a type distinct from &str.

I absolutely don't think &str should silently allocate for converting to String. But I think &str should zero-allocation convert to &string (and bypass dealloc, too).
Will i18n ever know peace?
so, can you elaborate on your comment?
There's another kind of heredity which it's very important to discuss, with regards to opposing certain problematic ideologies. (Both far left and far right.)

For human beings, culture, as a powerful multiplier of intelligence, is far more important than genes. Immigrant groups to the US, like Italians and Poles, increased their average IQ scores by about a whole standard deviation in about 2 generations in the early 20th century. Even hot-button topics, like the IQ scores of Black people in the US have data which suggest that it is culture which is both a source of great inertia/difficulty and a source of great hope. On the side of hope, one study found that the Black children of US service-people in Germany were the same as other children growing up in Germany. Likewise, evidence for cultural factors in the success of people in various fields is very strong. For example, Jewish immigrant communities have often dominated local tailoring industries in cities across thousands of years of history and several continents. However, it would be laughable to suggest the existence of a tailoring gene.

Information of the kind above has been suppressed by the Far Left in the West. It has also been taken up in a dishonestly distorted form by the worst fringes of the Alt-Right. However, the complete story demolishes both Far Left and Alt-Right ideological messages. In the power of culture, there is hope for the future. If the potato famine Irish could lift themselves to their current place in 21st century society, out of utter unemployable status, poverty lower than that of the contemporaneous American slave, and the sewage-smelling crime and terrorism-ridden slums of New York and London, there is nothing that cultural transmission can't do.

(Also herein is a cautionary tale. History shows many, many examples of migrant groups who find themselves lagging behind. They are often kept in cultural isolation away from the mainstream of their local society, often, by their own elite, which uses this to maintain their status as group leaders. Culture is powerful, but its power can be harnessed to do great harm as well.)

At one point in history we had a "vibrant market of inexpensive products" by allowing child labor, slavery, and polluting the air. We're deciding that there are some things that are not acceptable. Thankfully, more and more people don't care about "vibrant markets" if it means a landfill of irrepairable electronics that gets dumped onto some poor country.

In any case, regulating the right to repair opens up new service markets, new parts supply chains, and a large job market that is local and difficult to outsource.

Web Packaging (at least on its own) wouldn't help with that, since the whole point of that standard is to allow content to be prefetched from a CDN (like AMP pages currently are), and CDNs can't cache content that's user-specific.

What _would_ work is serving the main content immediately, then using JS to fetch user-specific stuff after the page load.

I think these obnoxious people are experienced outside the gym - there's one or two at your office, one of two in your wife's friends, one of two of your old college friends. When the conversation turns to what's new in their life, or how's their day going, they recount their fitness ordeals.

Also outside of the classic gym - yogies, spinners, crossfitters - tend to be more social and evangelical during and after their workouts.
You absolutely deserve to be banned, regardless of ToS. You're wasting thousands of other people's man-hours to demand, however politely, that they fix a miniscule error that likely only bothers you. Even if you provide the fix with the request, it will still take a colossal amount of time to read and review the PRs. This is mechanised pedantry on a despicable scale.
My Nexus 6P I purchase 1.8 years ago failed, unable to boot into Recovery Mode. I called Google and they said it's a known issue and the one-year warranty expired so...good luck. Called Huwei, they said there is no option for repair.

I agree. My point was only that "investors are giving them money" doesn't prove anything.
That's assuming their userbase is a lot less elastic than it probably is. They'd have to retain at least half of their current users in order for that to even come close to replacing current revenue. The reason these pay-with-your-privacy businesses are so successful is because charging actual money is a huge barrier that will drive away many customers.
Sorry for misunderstanding you!

That would introduce special cases into the type system, adding complexity. String is a library type, so you can take a reference to it like any other type. We'd have to move String into the language for that to happen, and currently, the language itself knows nothing about allocation, so then we'd have to put allocation into the language, which would then change our story on embedded significantly... and then it'd be one of the only types that you couldn't take a reference to for some reason, which would affect generic APIs, etc...

The hard truth is that net benefit is a useless metric. "On average everyone is better off" doesn't mean anything to the person who drew the short straw. And even if you think someone 'benefited' from regulation it's meaningless if it's intangible.

If you say that your environmental regulation actually made people healthier then you'd better be able to point to the dropping health insurance rates.

If you say that your new traffic laws make driving safer then you better be able to point to the dropping car insurance rates.

If you say that your 'right to repair' bill made goods cheaper then you better have data that says that the lifetime cost of ownership of electronics is significantly lower and that the preowned/refurbished market is thriving.

They are a decent proxy for intelligence. It is fairly hard getting a 2400 SAT or a 340 GRE or a 180 LSAT. College and grad schools involve taking cramming for and studying for a lot of tests.

Your first point is a bit of a non sequitur. No admission committee has ever looked at a kid's SATs and said "wow, look at that work ethic!" Gauging whether someone is going to have the maturity to focus at school is a separate issue from test scores and very difficult to determine from a several page pamphlet describing an 18 year old.
You must be very slow at finding this stuff then, seeing as there typically is more then one month between updates.
a lack of, and the people that do repair things don't like them. It's like picking a programming language, and you have to pick your stuff based on the available market.
It’s often just the labor that’s expensive (at least in the US). The parts to repair most home appliances and electronics tend to be reasonably priced and available all over the web (my favorite source is eBay—people disassemble old appliances and sell parts separately). The tricky part is often merely access to service documentation, which is what most “right to repair” laws seek to correct.
The system has been broken for a long while.

A couple of years ago before I came to US as an undergrad, there were these test prep schools (e.g.New Oriental Education) in China that specialize in teaching students tricks about taking SAT test without actually studying the subject/course materials. Given that CollegeBoard has been doing poor job keeping the question bank updated, the prep schools would hire people to take the SAT exams in Hong Kong or other Asian countries and memorize the questions, in order to observe patterns and collect questions from the Collegeboard question bank.

I spent a summer at New Oriental prep school in Beijing and learned absolutely nothing in terms of actual subject materials, but all these tricks about how to "guess" answers without understanding the questions/statements for the reading section, which is the weakest point for a lot of Chinese students. For writing, we were taught to memorize famous people's life stories such as Jack Welch, Bill Gates, the founders of Starbucks, etc, to fill up bulk of our essays (wouldn't the graders grow suspicious if a lot of people are citing Jack Welch's life story in their essays??). Math is whatever. Most high schoolers in China wouldn't have much problem with SAT math.

I quit the prep school half way and did self-learning instead, and I am glad I did that. My score wasn't fantastic, 2040 compared to all the 2300s and 2400s out of that prep school, but not until I came to college did I find people with perfect SAT scores but could barely communicate with people in English, read, not to mention understanding lectures, etc.
> AMP is not a "well-lit" project.

How so? As the blog post points out, the whole thing is open-source with almost all discussion surrounding the project happening out in the open on their GitHub repo. You might not agree with the direction the project is going, but I'd say it's about as well-lit as any open source project can be.

I suppose you have your own definition for "perfectly rational" that you're standing by, and that's fine. But I fail to see the point. How is that relevant to this thread?

All the sick shit on the internet was there 20 years ago. It might have been a little more pixellated and lower-resolution, and getting it on a 56kbp modem that gurgled and screamed and tied up the phone line was perhaps a bit tricky to do surreptitiously, but it was there. We turned out fine.

I have a suspicion that by not taking into account those who took standardized tests vs not really limits the outcomes of this.

Maybe my high had the worst guidance counselors but I was explicitly told to only apply to 2-year community colleges because college would be too expensive for someone whose parental income was ~12/yr. There was no mention of FAFSA being a thing (I didn’t even apply because I didn’t know until my 2nd year in college). There was no mention that universities will offer financial aid to poor people.

Additionally $70 to take the test is a lot for a poor person.

The fact that these were not explored as considerations, or disregarded means that they already removed a lot of poor people from their investigation.

The automation wouldn't be doing anything unsolicited either, since it's only doing things that have been defined in the UI.

Perhaps they didn't mean automation per se, but CI is certainly automation, automatic merging, as in not manually merged by a human.

Perhaps a better rule would have been, no automation on repos not controlled by yourself.
That very much depends on the work you are automating away. For much of the business automation I agree. Invoice processing? Automate. Drip campaigns? Automate. Measuring performance of something? Automate.

But - picking the right photo for some restaurant, as GP stated in another comment? Make good UI and perform manually. Alternatively, train NN in background - but it might not make sense in a startup world where the effort for this would be prohibitively high. In the end it's the photos that matter to your business, not that fancy photo picker algorithm that took ages to develop and that you can't sell to anyone else.

I don't see why this should be very surprising to people. It's not difficult to think of heritable traits that have nothing to do with genetics such as: social status, money/property, spoken language, etc. Biological phenomena exist on molecular, cellular, organismal, population, and planetary scales. The assumption that genetics would be the only mode of entanglement would seem to be overly reductionist.

How did you go from what can happen to what will happen? In the realm of what can happen, you can pretty much say anything you want.

As an aside.. AFAIK, nobody ever been capable of producing regulations and laws that don't have unintended consequences, or even have guaranteed results. Working off of probabilities, a right to repair law makes sense to me. Maybe it doesn't to you, but your argument is purely your own speculation, which is valuable, but its hard to argue against.

tl;dr: iframes cause all of AMP's problems, but they provide unbeatable performance, thanks to prerendering. Prerendering is faster than http://motherfuckingwebsite.com. The Web Packaging standard will allow Google to prerender sites in search results without AMP, and without violating users' privacy.

But here's the point: most people think that Google wants to host nytimes articles on google.com, to seize control of the web's traffic. They don't. They've done a bunch of work to get out of that business while preserving the performance benefits of prerendering, but nobody knows that, because they talk about it in bizarre technical jargon like today's OP AMP blog post.

Well, that's actually the root problem which I avoided discussing until now: why does String have a str special case but no other data type does? Same with Path and PathBuf. Why does there need to be a distinct data type for a non-owned view into an object? Why is that not just part of the language in the first place? C++ needs string vs string_view because it has no borrow checker, but rust could (theoretically) implement this without the need for two different types.
