> are you going to bother verifying every title in the long list?

It should be enough to randomly sample a subset for verification, similar to probabilistic proof checking in cryptography.

>>Note that the paper about that "experiment" was not accepted

> Then it's not a very good example to base your argument on.

You're welcome to suggest a better example ;)

> You’re both wrong. You can’t treat 2328 observations from 4 subjects the same way as 2328 observations from 2328 subjects

You're right of course, but it really depends on how you want to generalize. Observing only 4 subjects makes it hard to estimate population variance and generalize to other subjects, but having 2328 observations of the same subject should give great insights into measurement reliability and changes over time, for those subjects.

> Do you think that reviewers who work for free “should” do even more work than they do already?

I think that reviewers should be compensated adequately for their work, ...

> Or that journals “should” force reviewers to do this (even though they have no mechanism for doing so)?

... by the journals, which can use some of the revenue they make selling subscriptions to enforce a quality standard for the papers they publish.

> It would suck if we needed to spend more time reviewing papers just because a bunch of assholes keep trying to get fake papers published.

Some assholes try and succeed at publishing fake papers, some of them potentially influencing important decisions, e.g. in medicine. You can of course decide that it's not worth the effort to try and stop them, but I feel that publishing fake results should be as hard as possible.

> You can't just snap your fingers and make that happen.

But I can argue on the internet about it. Maybe that doesn't change anything, but it makes me feel better.
Would it be possible to elaborate on centralized auth with an example? I've done a small amount of playing around with k8s but I'd not heard of this specific use case.
> It's not clear to me how DHH gets the money for his auto racing hobby.

He's a partner, the company makes a lot of $ so he makes a lot of $, go and look at his instagram feed :)

The company is well enough off that the regular workers who work there can work normal hours without stuff being crazy (for the most part) but for David to still get paid enough and take the time out to go racing/create bespoke financial philosophies about Facebook. Remmeber, the company is still (last I heard) only about 50-odd people with one relatively small office in Chicago. The expenses aren't going to be withering, and there's no VC, so there's no frantic push to get huge before an IPO. (source: used to work there)
Note, anybody interested in these, you only have to run the controller once during setup. My controller consists of a dusty laptop I haven't used in 2 years sitting in my closet powered off with my UAP happily running without a single problem since setup. You can ssh into the UAP devices and do firmware upgrades or change configurations without the controller. https://community.ubnt.com/t5/UniFi-Wireless/Firmware-upgrad...

> But the best part is that people think bill is a great guy because he gives away so much.

I'm inferring that you think people are silly for buying into some kind of curated persona. But to provide a counterpoint: even after what you've said, I still think Bill Gates is a great guy for his philanthropy. I don't really care if Gates is motivated by purely ascetic altruism or a complex sea of competing incentives. I'm really happy with the work he does.

That's not to say he's perfect. Some of his charity is controversial, that's definitely true. And I'm generally skeptical anyone is wholly motivated by altruism. But much of his work has had a profoundly beneficial impact on the world on a global scale. I like the world with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation as it is more than I like the idea of the world without it.
Did you try FF recently? It feels as fast as Chrome for me these days! devtools are good and transition was surprisingly frictionless. Bonus: I’m trying Linux and it works/syncs my stuff across Mac/iOS/Ubuntu.
Sounds like a cool way to track users wherever they go on the web.
You're right, and my argument is not fully worked out. I had the thought yesterday and didn't post - I just find it odd that we're demanding "real ID" for telephone calls, but recoil in horror when proposals are made to tie "real ID" to IP addresses to online activity.

I frequently advise my clients on website security, and tell them that all day long there are criminals who "jiggle the locks" (to put it tamely) of their website without any legal recourse or ramifications. They always ask why these people aren't identified and criminally prosecuted. I explain to them how they evade detection, and how "anonymity" is built into the ethos of our online world. Clients are shocked there's no way to identify, stop or even prosecute these people. Privacy advocates of course champion this anonymity because of the danger of abuse by government/corporate entities. Why don't we have the same attitude towards telephone calls? Both systems are widely abused, yet privacy for both are important.

Like I said, this one is still rolling a round in my head - feel free to tear my argument a new one ;)
It's not about you.

But that fails. The line is that it looks like a television tuned to a dead channel. Not that it looks like a television during the HBO logo.

I'm also in the UK and my experience is similar.

Part of that may be because I've mostly worked as a contractor, where you tend to be a replaceable cog providing 8 hours of service a day. But most of the permanent employees also went home around 6pm.

I don't think the consequences for going home at the end of your workday are very severe. You don't need to stay late if production isn't down. If production is down at 6pm that shouldn't have happened and you need to adjust your process. At my last permanent role I spent a lot of time telling people to stop deploying the daily build after 3pm. (I understand that there's project managers pressuring them, but that doesn't justify ruining anyone's evening.)

If you can't get your work done during work hours you should fix that, not work longer hours.
If you look up my Twitter account, you’ll see that I had a long discussion with multiple Chrome engineers days prior to writing the post, and there they explained the sync distinction to me. The post clearly explains the situation (mandatory login, but not sync) and articulates several reasons why I think it’s still an issue even if Google doesn’t auto-synchronize — a guarantee I don’t feel confident relying on in the future. In those various Twitter threads I also identified several problems with the Chrome privacy policy, which Google had to quickly update on a Sunday as a result.

I don't think it's much better to use SQL, it's literally killing flies with nuclear bombs. Awk does the job perfectly well and you don't have to spin up a SQL database, import the data, deal with any possible problem when importing the data. I don't know why a lot of people have this aversion to the console when it can do the job fairly well, specially in these cases where you just want a quick check.
So your problem was a process going to swap (or not, Linux still has problems with disk i/o, especially going from hybernation, although bug #12309 is gone), rest are the consequences.

Why should there be a tax break for paying this organization?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kars4Kids

That's just the first example off the top of my head, but also, when someone donates a wing or lecture hall to a school, why do they get to name it? They are gaining prestige and public relations, and admissions status for their descendants. A real charitable donation would be credited to anonymous.

But even then, taxes are for the operation of society, that we as voters have come together and decided on. There just isn't a reason to subvert that with a million other little organizations, even if one were to claim that they are being audited and whatnot, when one can clearly see favoritism in the group's beneficiaries and quid pro quo from the donations.

Well, I haven't worked at any places that expected me to work more than 50 hours a week. And none of even explicitly said an amount of hours.

But I have worked at places where there was extreme and contrived pressure to meet artificial goals set by managers with no engineering input. For example, I have worked at places that have stipulated no vacation without prior approval, and had multiple-month windows where vacation wasn't approved.

Most places I worked weren't like that, but a few were very unpleasant and not any more efficient for it.

I need to host a web API and Postgres database in a high availability configuration. I only need a single instance each of the web API and database, but uptime is crucial.

I'd like to use containers, partially because it gives an easily reproducible environment for running locally.

For such a small setup, what's the recommended way of handling this, such that I get automatic failover and can easily do zero-downtime updates?

I did look a bit into k8s, but quickly came to the conclusion that it's far too complex for this.

Oh, I'm also constrained to using the Azure cloud, if it matters.

> It still seems like a necessary reform however.

Reforms have to be taken into the context of their overall impact towards greater good. If overall charity drops, then the reform is bad. If you cause the charities that are out there scrapping with what they having, using 100% of every resource they have to help as many people as possible to go dry because of a small percentage of bad actors, then there must be another way. Incentivize these greedy assholes to chase money in a different avenue that doesn't impact the general welfare.
Foundations often make more than 10% / year by keeping 60% of their funds in S&P500, and 40% in bonds[1]. Therefore, 5% seems to be a completely safe level.

I think it can be okay to occasionally crunch for a few days at the end of a project. But yeah, you need to establish your boundaries now, to yourself at least. Do your homework, ask about expected overtime in the interview, and don't accept any offers that will expect 50+ hours/week on a regular basis.
If you've oversimplified psychology and behavior that much there's no point asking "why" anyone would praise anyone.

You had as an unstated axiom that self-interested action are not praiseworthy. You still have not made an argument for that, though you have pointed out that a world composed only of self-interested action would be an unpleasant one (I agree).

However, using a more realistic understanding, where actions come from a multitude of motivations, why do you consider a given action's being self-interested to exclude it from praiseworthiness?
Managed k8s (e.g. GKE) and unmanaged k8s (e.g. kops/kubeadm etc) aren't really the same thing in terms of complexity.

GKE takes a lot of the load off by making it Google's problem. The possible downside (which may or may not matter depending on use case) is that you're tied to what Google's control plane provides.

So if you want a shiney admission controller, you're out of luck unless they support it.

But for basic workloads, it's likely to work well and their management solves a lot of vanilla k8s pain points.
None of that justifies a tax deduction. Taxes are the way the way government funds its social contract. "Giving more to private exharity at the expense of tax revenue" just raised the tax burden of everyone else -- sonwhy shouldn't their extra tax payments also be tax deductible? It leads to absurdity.

Especially considering that many tax-deductible "charities" are actually people getting together to pay each other money for personal services (for example: schools, churches, and hobby associations)

> Academic journals publish papers deliberately. They don’t ‘accidentally’ publish bad papers, I can assure you that nobody accidentally clicks the ‘publish’ button. Whatever further agenda the article may or may not push pales in comparison to the actual problems it uncovers.

Academic journals certainly publish papers (good or bad) deliberately because the peer reviewers consider them of a sufficient quality and interest for the domain. It has always been known that it's possible to get low quality papers in certain journals – sometimes good ones, if one puts sufficient efforts – in pretty much all domains.

Concluding that these publications are accepted "to push an agenda" requires a leap of logic. In the past, it has been shown that simply mimicking the language (using Markov chains) was pretty much sufficient to get into some journals.

> > The bad guys here are the random authors who have designed a bad experiment, deliberately set out to undermine academic institutions, and then rather than presenting real evidence have written a political hit piece.
>
> Claiming these people undermine academic institutions is like blaming your upstairs neighbour stomping on the ground for your house of cards imploding. If a journal accepts and publishes such submissions, it was never an academic institution to begin with. The completely sufficient evidence for this is the acceptance and publication of those papers.

On this point, I mostly agree with claudius. While the authors have written something that looks much more like a poitical clickbait than actual research findings, they have exposed weaknesses in the process or reviewers of some journals.

These journals now have the ability to fix their mess, which will make everybody the winner.
Sorry, I am not a native English speaker. I made the title by rewriting this sentence to fit into 80 characters limit:

"This bill would, with certain exceptions, make it unlawful for any person to use a bot to communicate or interact with another person in California online with the intent to mislead the other person about its artificial identity for the purpose of knowingly deceiving the person about the content of the communication in order to incentivize a purchase or sale of goods or services in a commercial transaction or to influence a vote in an election."

Specifically telemarketing was the only English term for "in order to incentivize a purchase or sale of goods or services in a commercial transaction" part that I recalled. Sorry if it was misleading.

I wonder about this. I've read an argument that charitable tax deductions are a problem because they are essentially giving the wealthy a way to directly redirect taxes into spending on their preferred priorities, rather than those of the government (which obviously has problems, but is at least in theory answerable to the entire polity, rather than a handful of individuals or businesses). I haven't really come down on it one way or the other but I thought it was a compelling line of argument.

Does he mean an OS with these kinds of solutions in mind? Maybe I need to understand where Andrew feels the shortcomings in Android and iOS lie that prevent his what-ifs currently.

When I see the phrase "developer-oriented," I'm thinking about dev tools ON the touchscreen OS. And for that, I do indeed have some ideas...

This is a technology focused website, hence why Gates is mentioned more than political figures.
Nobody is saying charities should be abolished, just that they should receive no tax exemption since it's so easy to abuse. Assuming this would generate a lot more revenue for the government, the tax rate could be reduced to make this a net-zero proposition -- leaving the same amount of money available for legitimate donations.

All that code you write for the man you'll never see again when you leave. Limit your pride, but not your quality of work of course. This includes limiting overwork. If your financial situation and the market allows for it, find a job that is not over taxing, and if you're a programmer by hobby and have the time, write some open source stuff. Aside from career benefits, it is fulfilling to review code you wrote in the past instead of just corporate memories of it. It's extra rewarding if you're like some people that, while you improve, your past code is still of very high quality. If you're the type that relishes leaving a legacy, just be mindful of its visibility.
