We always could do that with extensions since JS is turing complete and has access to the network. Webtorrent is a thing after all.

The issue is not technical. It's just a chicken and egg problem. Most won't use bittorent unless it's stupidely easy to do. Remember that the average user don't know what an URL is and doesn't open new tabs willingly. Since they are the majority, they drive cost and benefits, so we must include them.

If after listening to the podcast you feel that there were parts that you wanted to hear in more depth, you may find them detailed in the most recent The Center for Election Science blog post. It includes links to full articles about subtopics. I hope that helps folks! https://electology.org/blog/80000-hours-interviews-ces-execu...
Of course, there'll never be evidence about the effectiveness of research into existential risks until it's too late. So there's no way to objectively allocate funding between, say, AI safety and disease pandemics.

While I think it's important to fund such research, it's a good point that funding orgs should either be evidence-based or not. Funding some things based on evidence and other things based on hunches might be an unstable combination. Once hunches are allowed, they could easily drift into funding things where the evidence says it's ineffective, but it gets overruled.
Social media platforms can adapt with the times, but they often don't - Facebook was built in an atmosphere of "move fast and break things", but you can't do that when you're a multi-billion dollar company with shareholders who don't like it when you break things.

People are understandably highly suspicious of DNS services and privacy issues with giant companies like Comcast, Verizon, Centurylink, etc. But I'd like to point out that there's a large number of small to mid sized ISPs where the final business management decisions rest with the individuals who also have 'enable' on the routers and core Linux/BSD server infrastructure.

There is such a thing as ethics in network engineering, and that term encompasses things like not attempting to MITM your customers' recursive DNS resolution queries, or monitoring/tracking/selling the data.
The problem with this is I'm a web dev and I can't really do all my work in emacs. For backend people you can live entirely in emacs. Once you hit the frontend you have to start interacting with a browser. That's why I always get a clipboard manager and have my editor kill (cut) to the clipboard. Then I can hit C-V and get a popup menu (similar to helm kill ring, navigable both with mouse and keyboard) with the last 100 or so things I've cut/copied.
...what message boards are you using that every single one of them "does stuff like that"?
I recently registered as a user on Twitch, and was surprised by the amount of dark patterns there. It seems like every other action costs money, which isn't necessarily bad, but it makes me wary of clicking on anything because it seems half of them lead to a payment screen. It's just that there's no indication of what's a premium feature and what's not, and that's clearly intended to get users to want to perform an action and emphasizes what they're missing out on.

> Economic development can be limited to the owners of the companies whilst exploiting the employees.

This is often heard but there is little truth to it. The more developed a market is, the larger the opportunities for employees to move to other jobs, and therefore exploitation is a problem that goes away by itself. Many countries in South East Asia have close to zero unions yet benefit from very high living standards and reasonable working hours (at least very much equivalent to the US).

If the "union" theory had any truth in it, then you would expect unions to be everywhere in the world before and during economic development to lead social conditions improvement. Yet social/working conditions improve regardless of unions presence.
We should pay people $500 for voting (in the bi-annual national elections). Turnout would be >99% (?). ID and fraud problems would have to be handled correctly, and the people would equate voter fraud with stealing (and thus care about it.) National ID participation would voluntarily increase. This would help with other issues like homelessness, illegal immigration, AWOL soldiers, dead-beat parents, etc... The redistribution of wealth as a direct payment could also serve as the foundation for UBI administration.

Finally, it seems uniquely American to address this problem with money.
I wrote taxes, not salary. The actual form of the tax system is a separate issue.

It seems obvious to me that your vote should be weighted according to how much you are personally responsible for carrying the burden of government. Why should it be otherwise?
This would worse the situation I think. There would be an increased demand for people qualified to take positions, potentially allowing bad candidates to be the "only legal option" and exacerbating the problems we're trying to fix. The problem isn't that a "random reality TV star" is allowed to hold office like Governor or President, it's that a reality TV star can receive millions fewer popular votes and still win the election. It's the voting system that needs to be fixed first.
Your proof for the EMH hinges on a very specific technicality -- whether the secret prime, P, is public knowledge, or to what degree it is public knowledge.

I think if we were to approach the EMH from a constructive or computability approach, we'd have to make that definition much crisper. That is, the feasibility of computing the factorization based on limited information determines whether the information is actually "available" in the sense of the EMH.

In the real world we can see things like drug trials that will determine the success of a pharmaceutical company. The information that the drug works or doesn't work, or has side effects, would be "apparent" to a hypothetical "ideal" expert in human biochemistry -- so simply knowing the chemical formula for a new drug, the information about its working is "available" in that sense.

This is ridiculous. On top of eigenspaces comment, the promise was never that any odd Julia code would be fast. You can write untyped/dynamic code and that will be faster than Python but not near C, or you can put a little work into ensuring type stability (from experience this is easier than writing in C from the start, especially as you already have a working prototype that you are iterating in the same language) and you get excellent results.

I see what you mean, but I liked this example because it speaks to how innocent dark patterns can appear. I’ll try to explain.

The only thing missing is the intention, which isn’t even specified in the story, so I think we lack the necessary information to say for sure.

For example, let’s say a graphics designer were asked by their boss to make a sign to inform visitors that the elevator was broken. Then, let’s say the graphics designer discovered the company was holding interviews that day for new graphics designers who would replace them. If the sign were made as such to make those applicants late for their interview, we would be looking at a case of a dark pattern. If it were made as decoration, we wouldn’t be.
From this article, it seems like the simulation was acted out by people who were formerly in leadership/advisory positions in the US government.

How likely is it that current leaders heed their advice when an outbreak happens? Wouldn't it be more useful to have the people currently in power preparing for this?

Honestly asking - I have no idea about the modus operandi of Washington bureaucracy.
That sounds like Jack Welsh'approach to work force management: fire the lowest performing 10% every year and replace them with new hires.
Because I want to make the world a better place it's incumbent upon me to encourage people to do so efficiently. It's sad that this might make some people feel lower status than they think they deserve but compared to children dying it's really not my main concern.

It is easy to start with drugs and then expand to other areas. Drugs are much much easier money than kidnapping or ransom. Once you hit the ceiling with the drugs it is only natural that you'll look for something else and you'll have money to fund it. Without the drugs it would have been much harder to organise other source of income.
I think by delaying repeal of prohibition most of the countries risk to have their cartels grow to the size of too big to fall. I think in many countries this has already happened - especially those where any logical debate about legalisation of drugs cannot be conducted. The corrupt reasons behind keeping it up are just too obvious, but nobody dares to change the status quo.
I am on the fence. A master craftsman is awesome to have on a team, but I worry that, just as understanding of Scrum gets pushed off as the Scrum Master's problem, craftsmanship would become the craft master's problem. That's how we get "team leads" and "architects"

The original design was flawed. The new design understands the problem (people did not see the sign). The design is fixed.

From there, intuition of how users interact with UX builds.

The author is relating a personal story that illustrates the building of interactive components, the process of understanding users, and the differing motivations behind design.

The elevator story is not an example of a dark pattern, but it illustrates the problem that comes with developing an awareness of how people think and interact with an interface. People can't have hyperfocus all the time, see through all intentions, be all knowing and all aware of every circumstance and event. Sometimes people are on autopilot, sometimes people take advantage of that.

A lot of digital services today continue to be developed with this aesthetic in mind.
not if they never reach their target. effective altruism is a joke, its just rationalism applied to charity, with all the idiocy the rationalist movement possesses. People who talk endlessly about problems like dolphins who obsess over hang gliding.
I think it's because of idealism innate in computing. Those young aspiring minds dream about making a positive change in the world, studying day and night, sacrificing pleasure for knowledge and capability, and at some point somebody will show them a video of a person blown into pieces and telling them: "Congratulations! This is the main fruit of your life. Well Done!" - moments later - "Why do you complain? You signed a contract so shut up!"
Because programming, although a subset of IT, is very broad. There are a lot of communities, not just a single one.
I personnaly LOVE stackoverflow, Joel is my HERO, but it is more of a question and answer forum.
CodeProject is more of a community, and might fit your needs.
This is fine as a theoretical construct, but the reality is that a lot of the best features of American government were the result of quid pro quo deal-making. A huge example is the entire Bill of Rights, which was the price of creating a stronger central government. And the movie "Lincoln" illustrates (with only a little exaggeration) the deal-making that went into passing the 13th Amendment.

As an aside, I happen to think that there is an important difference between "bipartisan" and "deal-making," and the latter is really where it's at in governance. Earmarks are tools for deal-making.

Framing things as "both sides" inappropriately elevates the 2 major political parties as a central feature of our system of government. They're not; in fact the largest political affiliation in the U.S. today is "indepdendent"!

And on any serious legislation, there are typically more than two "sides" with an interest in a particular outcome. That's why making deals is so important.
emacs has a couple of packages working to implement the editor side of the language server protocol, so it's probably not long until it's at rough feature parity for structured editing of languages with rich semantics.
this example was perhaps not the best thought out when rationalizing the application of US military resources:

I agree :) However, my point was that these regional conflicts, with "tiny* countries are anything but. Superpowers are funding these wars, and it's all part of a larger game of hard and soft power. Saying the US's only worry are nukes, is just ... insane.

"While US is a stabilizing force in eastern Europe and the pacific, it has totally fucked up the lives of millions in the middle east area by it's interventionist escapades"

Excuse my vulgarity but shit has been fucked in the middle east for over 100 years. The US din't break any windows, if anything they bombed these broken windows into dust, along with everyone else.

In 10-20 years, this same statement will apply to the Pacific as China becomes more "assertive". To say the US "got it right" here is only because China's aggression or "assertiveness" is so new.

"It's as if they all believe that if you just give rebels guns then a George Washington will be magically summoned to lead the country in good order to a proper form of post-despotic administration."

I agree this is what is "sold" to the US public and the world. However the real motivations are always monetary, even in the case of the American Revolution.
From my experience at blekko, 99.9% of the "people" who go deep into the results pages for a single query are actually bots. You're a very unusual user, and there are a lot of bots.
> Peoples reflex reaction to a pop up is to close it straight away when one appears.

It greatly depends on a user type, it might be true for tech users but average Joe will read the pop up almost everytime.
Thanks :)

I think IFPS needs a little more field testing before being set in stone. Indeed, if you bake in something in the browsers, then those implementation will be the boundary of what is practical to do. So any innovation will then be constraint by the browsers release and good will.

IFPS is a young tech, it needs time to evolve yet.

Java by many definitions is a bit like assembly language of our current times.

You will end up stitching highly verbose pieces of code. Which is why Java IDEs have specific features to emit get/set functions etc.

Plus you will have to access a method hiding 5 class layers below. You will need IDEs designed to do this sort of work really well.

Emacs and Vi have been designed to largely play with Text, plus I think with Java's verbosity you are just better off with a specialized IDE.
You can greatly reduce the money spent on support staff to compensate for the additional reps.
It's not, it's just a pretty standard and well understood UX principle; A couple of simple words is far more likely to be read than a long fluffy sentence. It's just a UX pattern.

It's like saying effective contrast is a dark pattern.
Things have improved but only marginally. Java and Go are the only languages that have "native" gRPC support in Bazel. For others you need to rely on an external repo whose connection to Google is unclear (https://github.com/pubref/rules_protobuf). I find this disappointing, as a gRPC-connected microservice architecture that Just Works and easily interoperates with Docker/Kubernetes/whatever seems like it could be THE "killer app" for Bazel. I built this project to say "look, it's easy!" But alas, it wasn't, and I've communicated that to some core Bazel folk.

This sounds like an issue that is specific to Javascript-controlled browsers. If using a traditional, non-Javascript tcp/tls/http client it is trivial to extract the image urls and other information from the page using a single HTTP request (and from each successive page using more HTTP requests in a single connection, if "has_next_page" is "true"). No "API" needed. Can you provide an example of a single page with 1000+ images?
