I think a lot of anger is misplaced from people who are calling for a lot of censorship. While people complain about it, it's not necessarily the problem that FB/Twitter/YouTube allow extreme views on their platform. It's that they amplify those extreme views.

I don' think they set out trying to do it, but their algorithms do seem to prefer things that get a reaction out of people (positive or negative). If someone posts something hateful, a lot of people may click on it or respond, but that doesn't mean it's good.

Social media companies put a lot of faith being put into machine learning on human behavior, but people don't behave perfectly rationally. Especially when they're scrolling through Twitter to kill time on the can.

People who call for censorship have gone too far, but if you think Facebook/Twitter/whatever are doing an A+ GreatJob when it comes to social responsibility I strongly disagree.

Macro-economically, a market crash is a signal that investors don't trust public companies to be revenue generating engines in the future. Small market corrections occur when other related assets or systems readjust, like housing markets or trade regulations. If anyone knows when or why the next crash is coming, they could make millions on that knowledge. Anything else is most likely just blindly throwing darts - someone will turn out to be correct but analyzing their reasons for the crash will be a classic case of survivorship bias. I think the market is relatively efficient in this aspect.
A majority of the civil rights leaders were African Americans. A majority of the women's suffrage movement were women.

There were thought leaders in both groups who rose above the crude politics of identity, and were able to promulgate a politics of principles. A problem with leaderless movements is that the philosophy can devolve to a Least Common Denominator of crude identity. Even wholly ideological movements can devolve in this way to become identity politics.

Amsterdam is ~1000 years old. Parts of it are very unfriendly to cars simply because they were never built to be accessible.

In contrast, Rotterdam was mostly rebuilt after WWII. This gave them the opportunity to make the city more accessible for cars. Still you can get around Rotterdam by metro quite easily, and you are a first class citizen on a bike or on foot. i know lots of people living in Rotterdam who don’t own a car.
On a motorcycle, yes. Otherwise, I'm surrounded by a cage of metal.

Yes, it is, though the homepage doesn't seem to explain it well.

You can connect to their "supernodes" which are the backbone, that connect to the Internet proper. You can also connect via other member nodes. So by my understanding of the colloquial term "mesh" for wifi, it is.

I do take issue with their FAQ stating they're not an ISP. They are providing Internet access to the public. They are an ISP, even if their structure and methods are unconventional. Maybe they're avoiding the term due to legalese?

It's an interesting project. I wonder if something like that would work in urban San Antonio... Hm!

I worked all my life to attend my dream music school, and once there things went even better than expected. Big things were happening, and bigger things were on the horizon.

I took one dose of Cipro and developed permanent tendinosis. My career was ruined. On top of the tendon damage, my nerves were on fire for about three years, and I went from being extremely mentally sharp to pretty foggy with trouble concentrating or multitasking. Though I can't prove the extent of its reach, I went from being an extremely healthy person to someone plagued by seemingly mysterious health issues -- many ususally found in people twice my age or more -- for years, and my best guess to this day is that damn drug.

Cipro robbed me of my career, my identity, and my 20s. I've never quite fully recovered or found a job I loved as much/was as good at as playing guitar.

Fuck Cipro.

Fallacy of composition says I look at a few stupid humans and decide that all humans are stupid. That's what the person who I was replying to was doing in reply to my original post. I was trying to point out that if their supposition is true then we are all screwed no matter what.

Fortunately their supposition is false. Humans are not generally shortsighted and stupid, if you give them a chance.
> Java has one of the least good generics implementations of modern languages. I suggest C# ...

What are the particular differences that make you suggest C# over Java generics? As far as I am aware they are nearly identical for practical use (as language constructs). Things like Java using type erasure don't actually affect the language much only the particular compiler implementations.
Agreed. Seems to be fairly static routing, albeit using BGP. Doesn't appear to be a mesh protocol in sight.

I think his point was that you don't look as closely to the works others people do than the works that you do.

It's really not an unreasonable point. As a society, we make rules all the time about safety )that may or may not be rooted in actual statistics). I certainly did lots of things as a kid that would be seen by at least many people I know as reckless today in terms of safety equipment.

An argument can be made that you should wear a helmet of some sort in many circumstances where it's not required (or expected) today. Look at downhill skiing. It's still far from universal but no one (besides racers) wore a helmet until 20 years ago or so. I still don't wear one.
The delta for AC cooling seems to be <10C, the delta for heating could be up to 50C. So it seems pretty sad that the energy consumption is only 20% lower.
Sounds like the usual billing practice of "send him a bill for everything he'll ever have and then graciously negotiate it down merely everything he's got now".
My money is the following:

* Final demise of Moviepass, leads to "wait, losing on transactions and making it up on volume doesn't actually work" and scaring investors

* Magic Leap dies because there's no way to recoup their investment at this point, scares off "Well, awesome tech will save the day" investors

* Uber follows close behind, scares off "Well, breaking the law will save the day" money

* Twitter finally dies because of lack of monetization strategies and general consumer backlash, may kick off general death of social media space.

This is my rough guess for how it'll play out.
I'm curious - do you think the figures for room and board is generally high? Or do you just think it is high for the city?

A lot of the good road bike trails in the US are built next to slow-moving rivers and canals for that very reason. Rivers tend to carve the land or reroute until the slope is gentle and nearly constant. My favorite way to find road bike trails in the US is by looking near large rivers.

This is cool.

However, all the holes seem to be just at the edge of the boards -- which makes perfect sense. You don't want a hole in the middle.

But:

1) I think dynamic hole locations could be easily replicated on a standard desk by just drilling wherever you want and when you need to change this up, plugging old holes with a plastic cap. So really the main advantage is in being able to change the size of the tabletop, not in choosing different slats with different hole patterns.

2) sit-stand is the new hotness and you don't seem to address that.

3) having the main work surface be slatted is terrible. instead, have larger boards for the main area and a frame that allows just the edge to have modularity. You can still extend a desk by adding a smaller main board or a few full length slats.
It's complicated.

*Disclaimer: I'm not attempting to support HCA's billing practices here."

HCA has profit margins around 10%, which do not appear to me to be exorbitant. (https://investor.hcahealthcare.com/press-release/hca-reports...) While this patient's experience is clearly out of whack, and the $19k for a $1,500 stent thing is nuts, this points to a larger pricing / business model issue within US Healthcare. Typically, a few medical specialties (Surgery, Imaging, Rad Onc) have high profit margins, but are offset by losses in other departments (ER).
Although I don't think they called out refinement types as a possibility (I only skimmed near the end), I wouldn't be surprised if they quickly determined that tackling undecidability is not a goal of the Go type system. Especially since every attempt at refinement types (or even nontrivial constraints) ends up with a compiler that gets really slow, and fast compilations are one of the tenets of the language.

Go contracts as-written, or "accept a T that can do a thing and have a default implementation", is orthogonal to refinement types.

N.B. I'd really love to see refinement types break past the acceptable threshold of compilation time, since they're really neat and are easy to explain to people in terms of their usefuless.
There is no natural origin to be skewed from. It's relative. both statements are equally correct, and leave out the relative context.
I once got cut by a skate playing hockey. Showed up at the hospital pulsing blood from my leg. My first question to them, “Do you take X insurance?” Only after they assured me that my insurance would be accepted did I drag my bloody leg into the care room.

Turns out the doctor that the hospital assigned to me did _not_ take my insurance.

I got billed the full amount, yelled very loudly at lots of people, and when I “resubmitted” the claim ended up paying like $50 out of pocket. I’m pretty sure that every item in the hospital is purchased by a separate company and that the Venn diagram of approved insurance companies never intersects.

My dad is a nurse and I grew up hearing how insurance was destroying health care. As a free market libertarian, I have no idea what to do about it. But next time I need stitches I think I’ll just opt for the super glue in my workshop...

The problem that sprang up out of the ether is the trade war and the subsequent very blatant propaganda war. Note that I'm not saying there is no problem here, but the fact that the story lay dormant and pops up now is not a coincidence. At the very least some NY Times editors thought it was relevant and opportune to shout into the echo chamber right this moment (and the same here, for posting it).
When did you try Arch? With the adoption of systemd it's incredibly easy to configure if you aim for a simple no desktop enviroment setup or something minimal.

If not, I think it doesn't make any sense to use it unless you are a seasoned user. Rolling release will make running big frameworks like KDE tricky, as things will change often. And unless you have set everything up yourself, you won't know where to look in order to fix things.

I'd recommend you look into NixOS if you want to run a desktop environment. It's radically different (totally functional and declarative, whereas Arch is imperative). All Python and deep learning stuff is neatly packaged and tested. And rollbacks are trivial. There's no state.

You can even run Nix in other distros or macOS.

My grandmother is currently watching MSNBC, which is constant Trump bashing, and she quite enjoys it. The New York Times most read almost always includes negative stories about Trump.

I suspect the "problem" is just that people enjoy reading these negative articles. Google is trying to point people to what they're likely to click on.

> the underlying idea is that google is not just using pagerank and algorithms to show us the current state of the internet. But rather is adding their own bias to push up / down certain results.

One thing I've wondered with stuff like this is why we assume Google is the root cause here. Mind you, I've switched all my products away from Google, so I'm not defending them, BUT;

Reddit users frequently take part in manipulating Google search results for the sakes of memes. To put someones picture up on a specific search, for example. Yet other search results we believe to be hand crafted by Google.

Now, I think it is more likely that Google is manipulating data here. However, I never see it discussed why we don't think someone else could be manipulating it?
Having two choices actually might put you well above average for the US. Back when I was in Mountain View, CA (a few miles from Google HQ) it was either Comcast or nothing and the irony was not lost on me.
Some behaviors did have to be encouraged, but from what I understand, the behaviors were encouraged through small indirect nudges instead of specifically adding code to the bots to tell them a certain behavior is good. For example, the devs said that the bots never tried to fight Roshan on their own because he does a lot of damage, has a lot of health, and the bots don't know what the reward for killing him is. To encourage the bots to try it, Roshan was given artificially low health so the bots would kill it to see what happens. Once the bots learned that there are rewards for killing him, the devs started to randomize his health between very high and very low values so the bots could get a feel for when they are strong enough to try and kill him during a normal match.
Scrolled through comments up to time of writing this, and didn't see much discussion of the low-hanging fruit still available to reduce A/C-related electrical demand in the US.

Commenters are bringing up insulation, but not in detail. We need the PassivHaus insulation standard with droplet-based air tightness treatment (that brings the air tightness to about twice or better than PassivHaus specifies) as the minimum required. Ideally, city-scale recycling centers would redirect used styrofoam to re-form with limonene into insulating blocks, keeping it out of landfills and oceans, and entrain into a more permanent use.

Real estate industry needs go along; advertise and market that 4-8 foot thick insulation in walls are attractive for starters. 3-6 inch gap rain screen on all outside surfaces, white or light-colored reflective takes out ~5 degrees F of cooling effort with completely passive design.

Overrule all HOAs and city building codes nationwide at the federal level, and anyone who wants to re-position their property improvement to take advantage of the solar path may do so without seeking permission. That is, the footprint alignment of any planned improvement (new or modification) that is aligned with a federally-published local solar path is an instant "shall-issue" permit; the actual footprint size, dimensions, permeable cover ratio, etc. still goes through normal permitting processes. Anyone who wants to build long-overhang porches that screen out all but the last X minutes of sunrise or sunset may do so without seeking permission.

Overrule all local jurisdictions at the federal level, and any enclosed space that does not use A/C, that is, only has dehumidification (no active cooling) and/or ceiling fans, do not count in property taxes, or count for something like 10% of normal assessment.
The biggest part is plain and simple speculation. Betting on bitcoin and other crypto is like betting on human greed. Bitcoin could possibly be worth 1 million dollar, that is the main attractor. It is gambling, but in a fairly transparent and decentralized manner. I don't think it is fair to call it a ponzi (which it is not by definition because of the lack of a central actor) and also not a pyramid scheme (because it has genuine valid use cases).

It is just a market of buyers and sellers, extremely volatile and in a very immature and experimental state.

This is really accurate. I've really had to work on making good decisions and working on some slight anger issues during my transition after pretty much all of my family abandoned me, a lot of my friends started making fun of me publicly or just abandoned me totally. It's a significant reason why I moved across the country to Seattle -- a more open and accepting area of the USA -- to make new friends and get a job that was very open to LGBT persons. It's still tough, but the life change, surrounding myself with people who support me, really helped.

There are less common design patterns particular to generics. The presence of generics does tend to encourage those. I have seen subsystems where coders used C++ templates where they could have used polymorphism instead.
