> Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Toledo, and so on got absolutely destroyed after all the mills were shut down.
The bar for reviving is incredibly low. Those that could leave, left. The very people that could quicken the recovery of the fallen Midwestern towns are the same people who left.
> Detroit has UM, Cleveland has Case Western, Pittsburgh has Carnegie Mellon which are all top-flight schools. In a strange way, they all have great local resources, but these are all, culturally, working class blue collar cities, and there is really nothing wrong with that. These cities ought to do better to embrace that identity.
> I'm from Cleveland. The city was fighting hard against the impending collapse by building out the Rock Hall, rebuilding the Browns stadium and discouraging the Dog Pound, along with and other things to make it more like a major city, ripping out the soul along the way. When LTV steel went under, the dominoes fell one after another, which destroyed the day and night life of the flats.1

Yes. It seems like every mid-sized city has a large university. Regardless, most of the better paying jobs in the country are, over time, becoming concentrated in only a handful of places.

> Everyone in America doesn't want to stare at a computer, drink $5 latte's, and eat farm to table food. There is nothing wrong with a town that has $3 beers in a plastic cup and a crowd of people screaming until at the TV until they are horse.

Not everyone in NYC or LA or Boston want to stare at a computer either. A lot of them can and do go to bars to drink cheap beer and watch football.

> There is nothing shameful about marrying a man or woman while holding each other's calloused hands at the alter.

Few people anywhere have a problem with straight marriage. This statement taken in the context of the current cultural zeitgeist, sounds like an argument that gay marriage should not be allowed to exist. This type of statement often comes from someone who views the actions of others, that don't directly affect them, as a personal affront; someone who sees the existence of a different way of life as a personal attack. They often try to force others to to conform to their views, and then label any pushback they receive as bullying.

Yes, middle america is downtrodden. However, a lot of what is presented as well meaning discourse is actually nefarious in nature.

One of the neat parts of expert systems was that you could get surprising and bizarre interactions between rules, leading to entertainingly nonsensical answers.

Interesting. I'm considering some significant landscaping, adding an additional, walled "tier" to that back slope -- it already has one, lower down.

I wasn't aware that it could -- on its own, depending upon design -- provide significant filtration of such contaminants, although I am considering how it could also help divert rainwater to the side property lines, aiding its flow past the house to the front yard and sewer.

However, the best place for the garden -- best sun, and out of the way of other activity -- would still catch a lot of runoff.
Hyphenation can be tuned via CSS but I have never been happy with it:

I didn't read the whole article, save searching for "slay the spire" and reading the accompanying sections, but I agree with his criticism of it, assuming those little status icons below the characters really are as important as he says.

And why is your health in two locations and two colors? Maybe there's a good reason, but if I take the author's word for it, it is redundant and raises more questions than answers at first glance. I'm primarily a developer, so I've only dabbled in formal UX study, but it does seem like the game is just giving up easy design wins. Design is subjective, but I suspect many UX folks would agree with him.

Hello, Matt!

To be clear, I am not a Caddy user and have no horse in this race. I tend to sympathize with the privacy-conscious, however, having been a user who turned off telemetry in Firefox after the Mr. Robot scandal. Let me see if I can explain why your response comes across as tone-deaf:

1) Your first response is "I haven't actually watched the video," which immediately suggests that you're not going to actually engage with the claims so much as tackle a strawman version of the claim. Now perhaps the author is repeating an accusation that he has made in the past, and so you actually are familiar with it already, but that's not how this comes across.

2) Your next response--"Several of us in the research community have agreed that telemetry can be a net good for the Web."--is not really doing anything to assuage the privacy concerns. It's not a technical refutation, and it's not a particularly fleshed-out emotional appeal, either. It's basically, "We disagree."

Put another way, let's imagine for a sec that you were a Tobacco CEO and the following exchange was recorded:

Reporter: Sir, we have a multitude of evidence that smoking is conclusively, irreversibly detrimental to human health.

CEO: Actually, a number of scientists and health officials have agreed that smoking is good.

Do you realize how tone-deaf that non-answer comes across?

3) Your final response is the most "PR" part, as it first advertises the product, then pivots away from the contention at hand in favor of praising how wonderful it is that it's open source and has a vast number of contributors.
---

I've already done the transposition analogy once, so I'm hesitant to do it again lest it look like I'm demonizing you, but I want you to read the below and see how you would perceive this response if it came from the CEO of J.Crew about accusations of child labor in its clothing factories:

"Hey everyone. James here.

I haven't actually reviewed the accusations yet because I've been at a conference.

We believe that allowing underage employees to fill a limited number of positions at
are factories allows impoverished families to bring in badly needed revenue, and
ultimately serves as a net positive for these needy communities.

A huge thanks to everyone for shopping at J.Crew and making it the World's Best
Clothing Line™ five years and counting!"

---

Hopefully that makes sense. It may not have been your intent, but perception is critical when you're the public face of the company. You can gain or lose a ton of goodwill among your users depending on whether you attempt to receive their criticisms with an open ear and work towards a solution, or dismiss them and dodge around the question. And even if you're doing the former, the mere perception of the latter can be damaging.

Good luck.
Given their business model, I'm surprised they ever did.

Completely missed that. Thanks, will try.
That's probably the most common complaint we get. However I think most readers are unaware of how heavily the older works they read today have been edited over the years, not just in spelling but in grammar too, often by many different people.

For example, the original spelling of Shakespeare in 1609 looks something like this:

From off a hill whoſe concaue wombe reworded,
A plaintfull ſtory from a ſiſtring vale
My ſpirrits t'attend this doble voyce accorded...

Vpon her head a plattid hiue of ſtraw...[1]

How dare anyone change the spelling of the patron saint of English literature! ;) But of course most modern readers would find that pretty impenetrable, and would prefer a more modern spelling to be able to appreciate the text.

As early as 1700 people have been modernizing (for example) Shakespeare, going so far as to add apostrophes that weren't there (I remember one guy in a discussion with me on this topic lamented that modern editions removed apostrophes, when in fact they were added by editors in times past...).

Our small, entirely one-for-one spelling edits are in the same spirit. For your example, I don't think removing the apostrophe from "phone" changes the meaning of the text at all. It does remove the explicit announcement to the reader of "phone" as a contraction (though a clever reader will notice that the word "phone" occurs in the word "telephone" in this same story); but does it change the story's meaning? Or, is it more like replacing the long "ſ" in the quote above with a modern "s"? After all, removing "ſ" removes the history of our written language as a descendant of Roman cursive script, which, like the history of "phone" being a contraction, is something that someone somewhere probably would prefer to preserve!

The only difference between SE and the editors of old is that we're being upfront about it, and we give readers a chance to undo those changes using Git, if they prefer. And, ultimately, our editions don't prevent anyone from reading older editions with their preferred spelling variant preserved. Old books with old spelling and 100% faithful digital transcriptions are out there for everyone to still enjoy. We're just another option for readers who want to enjoy a timeless book without having to fight through dated spelling. :)

> I've always been ardently anti-smoking, even as a kid, even though I was surrounded by smokers. (I'm not claiming that YOU are claiming those are even close to all of the relevant bits, just stating background.)

I'm pretty anti smoking too. I grew up around smokers, people with yellow fingers and I absolutely hated the smoke. Still, genetics being what it is if that had not been the case I probably would have tried it at some point (ditto alcohol) and given my addictive nature I probably would have been hooked.

So we're pretty much in the same boat there.

> I believe that the relevant 'bits' are so numerous as to be effectively random.

A large number of bits does not automatically - or effectively - imply randomness. It's all about patterns and independence, you could have millions of bits that change in lockstep (think 'game of life') and it would be totally deterministic.

> A sufficiently advanced bot in a sufficiently advanced game, even when using a completely deterministic pseudo random number generator, should be fully able to convince us that it has free will.

It wouldn't because you could set up a second bot with the same initial seed and the fact that both of them would act exactly the same way to within the limit of observation would be proof that they were deterministic.

Ok, then don't comply and shut down, but I don't see what's ambiguous about the GDPR in this context. Also, they goal of the EU is not to fine the hell out of small businesses; it's compliance. Companies found to be out of compliance will be worked with and an attempt to conform to the spirit of the law shows good faith.

This article sounds a lot like sour grapes and shows no real attempt to actually figure out what compliance would look like.

I think a reason for this is that in the early days of computing and AI research, strong AI / artificial general intelligence (AI possessing equivalent cognitive abilities to humans) was considered both to be within reach, and the most obvious solution to many problem domains. We now realise that things such as computer vision and natural language translation can be approximated with solutions falling far short of strong AI.

> Practically every VM that tried to use LLVM as a JIT gave up as it was too slow.

And it doesn't even seem to work effectively as a target for JIT. It can do the machine code emitting part of a JIT well, but that wasn't really the problem and it doesn't seem to work well at the real problem of optimising code for a high-level language. You need to optimise yourself, by writing basically your own compiler pipeline, before emitting LLVM.

I find that particular, oft-repeated bug fascinating. It's a known issue, but one that seems to spread across many vendors and ad networks. I have to assume there's something very stubborn about the system design that makes it harder to fix than it feels like it should be.

Of course they shouldn't pretend it doesn't exist.

But the interpretation should be seen in light of enforcement of current data protection regulations (as per ICO in the UK, and corresponding BDSGs in Germany, for example).

If you find complying with the GDPR is a huge burden, then you really, really need to go back and look at your data collection practices.

Thoughts from a Serverless Champion
I'm no expert in the field of AI or Machine Learning, so I have a question for the experts here? Has there been any theoretical breakthrough in the AI in the recent years? I knew we had neural networks and different types of classifiers, etc. for more than a few of decades now, so apart from better marketing, has there been a significant breakthrough that explains this sudden surge in the interest in AI?
It was an important part of their business model for a while, but clearly their search for something that actually pays the bills enough has led them elsewhere now.

yes, because this totally is specific to working class / blue collar jobs. Everyone in the white collar bourgeoisie is clearly well represented and valued across all industries and in all locations in the USA. Further, desk work, and $5 lattes should always viewed as a reward with no variations in personal preference, those that do not agree are simply uneducated.

> If you believe that devs require root then that’s an indicator that your build/test/deploy/monitor pipeline is not operating correctly.

For one, I never said anything about root. I'm not sure anybody should have root in production, depending on the threat model. What I am saying is that the people who wrote the proprietary software being operated should be the ones on the hook for supporting it, and should be given the tools to do so, since they're the most aware of its quirks, design trade-offs, etc.

That means not just CI/CD and monitoring output, but machine access, network access, anything that would be necessary to diagnose and rapidly respond to incidents. That almost never requires root.

Damn, I was hoping for this about 6 months ago, I ended up filing my own paperwork instead. It was actually easier and cheaper than I thought for my state (Michigan). $50 and like five lines on a form. I even got my own EID completely online in about 10 minutes, and a bank account at my local small business bank the same day.

But just like with Stripe Atlas for C-Corps, what you're paying for isn't the paperwork and the filing fees, it's the access to lawyers and tax help and the network of other founders. It's Stripe's experience, and help for people who aren't in the US. I'd say it's worth it because to be honest I have no idea what my company's responsibilities for taxes are and yeah that makes me a little uneasy.
Recovery Media has not been shipped with new systems in almost a decade now. At best there is a Recovery partition that consumer can use to create Recovery Disk themselves before the system fails. Obtaining Recovery Media from places like Dell and Lenovo is a Pain in the ass unless you are the original purchaser of the system of an official retailer and you only want 1 Copy of the Media.

The problem is most systems of value sent to a recylers are from off lease buys and corporate refreshes, Most IT shops I know of do not bother getting, storing or collecting Restore disks because we are VL (Volume Licensed) and do not use the OEM image at all even though we pay for it. The first thing that is done on a corp device of any company that has more than 10 or 15 systems is to wipe the entire factory disk and install our own customize version of windows. We also tend to toss any Documentation, CD's and other items that were to come with the system in the trash

So Recylers get thousands of systems annually that are perfectly serviceable, fully licensed with windows but they can not use that license because there is no restore CD and they have no way to obtain one. Thus MS does them a "favor" buy selling them a new license for $25 instead of just providing a way for them to restore the system
