Yea, I agree. It's plausible. To clarify, I'm not at all saying bees aren't capable of conveying learned information. My position is that you, me, my dog, birds, bees, orangutans... we all seem to have this capacity. In fact, it seems more like a ubiquitous capacity, than a uniquely human capacity.

The authors of this paper don't agree though; instead they are promulgating the idea that "Orangutans are the only great apes besides humans to ‘talk’ about the past". Which directly implies that Chimps and Bonobos never refer to learned information in their conspecific communications. Maybe they don't engage in delayed warning calls after exposure to a predator, for whatever adaptive reason. Nevertheless, I'd bet the farm Chimps refer to episodic or declarative memories is some way/shape/form in some instances of communication (and I'll double down, given the criteria is only 2-minutes elapsed time since the referenced event took place).

Yes, it was to do with unaligned reads. Blows my mind that that crashes the program on some architecture, but until I'm personally using such an architecture or have an easy test rig for it, I have a hard time caring. (I did try on qemu.. doesn't crash.)
No, the presence of HQ2 in and of itself is not a social policy, and yields no public benefit. It serves the interest of the government, by increasing revenue. Presumably they will spend that money on something that does have social benefits, but that's not directly tied to Amazon's tax incentives.

Sure, it is if we adopt a definition of "subsidy" that includes tax incentives that are offered with the goal of increasing tax revenue in the long run, but such a re-framing eliminates the root of a lot of outrage about these "subsidies". It's no longer correct to say that New York and Virginia are giving anything to Amazon, because these governments are still receiving more taxes than they would have without Amazon's presence. The article linked by OP doesn't actually dispute that. The only piece of quantitative data it provides is a correlation between campaign contributions and subsidies. The article claims that the tax incentives (or if you prefer, subsidies) are uneconomical, but it does not actually put forth any data to demonstrate that NY or VA will see a net loss in the Amazon HQ2 deals.

pfft and then they come back up, like rebooting your machine. You can cause a temporary crash these days not a permanent shutdown. People just don't get how hyperconnected things are. Everyone takes a hit if there are shutdowns. The 2008 financial crisis was the first demonstrator. Things are just too big to fail.

Not the person you asked, but I was a welder in a shipyard for years, and am a skilled mechanic. I currently work in tech.

No one would ever know unless I mention it, because I don't fit the ugly stereotype of tradework being the domain of the crude and uneducated. I used to talk about it more, but I got tired of the condescension. Tech in general is incredibly insular, and nowhere near as open-minded as the field thinks it is, so I just keep quiet unless something like this thread pops up.

There are a lot of us like this out there, and we tend to stay silent on the subject for similar reasons. I am happy to talk about engines or APIs. What I really don't like is the assumption that because I know about engines, anything more cerebral must be a hobby, because it would otherwise be beyond me as a profession.
Except Canonical was doing exactly that with amazon ads in the launcher.
I've been using Elementary OS for a few major versions now. It's become my main desktop OS.

I'm a bit worried about putting too much into the "store" and their own browser, but so far it hasn't impacted me any. Anything that applies to Ubuntu proper applies in eOS for the most part, but the UX is just much more polished.

When I first saw it I was worried of too much "MacOS" like (which I'm not a fan of), but that has't been the case for me at all.
This is another aspect of frictionless criticism. Being able to tell the whole wide world 'this is the one bestest burger in America', EVEN IF IT'S TRUE, is greatly different from just knowing it for yourself. Things don't scale the way internet attention can scale.

And nothing a 'market' or price-juggling can do, will change that. If you simply jack the price until it's so high that the sales unit volume is the same as it should be, you've completely changed everything in the dynamics of the business and its relationship to its context. You can't CURE this with markets.
> Just because you work on something interesting does not absolve you of the moral responsibility you have to yourself.

I agree and am not sure why you think I thought otherwise.

The person I was replying to said "I don't think I have any ideological objections to Facebook" which I assumed to mean they don't see any moral problems with Facebook.

I was merely disagreeing with the idea that someone's lack of interest in the exterior facing product implies there are no interesting projects for that person in the entire company.

> But citizens of these countries who are legal permanent residents in the United States initially were held for long hours at airports, and those who have immigrant visas also were denied entry.

I know citizens eventually got back in but it could have been handled better.
> I am not a lawyer. As an economist, however, I can state with certainty that there is no difference between discriminating through taxes and discriminating through subsidies. I can also say that preferential trade areas and preferential treatment for some companies are equally destructive of free commerce. Hence, it is not unreasonable to argue that these types of corporate subsidies are even unconstitutional.

The dormant commerce clause prevents states from discriminating against in-state businesses versus out-of-state businesses, not between in-state businesses. It's not a dormant commerce clause violation for a state to charge different local taxes to different local businesses. It's only a violation if the state imposes different taxes on otherwise similarly situated businesses on the basis of state residency. E.g. if New York gave people a sales tax discount if they purchase from an online retailer with an in-state presence.

They are private by default, but it was far too easy for a to enable public access through a bucket policy that seemed sane to the untrained eye.

In the systems I've designed, I've built multiple layers of protection around sensitive buckets. I figure it's safest to assume that someone will eventually screw up the policy.

When possible, I deny access to the bucket except for explicit whitelisted approvals (alternatively, requests coming from IAM roles or users in the current account).

I also encrypt buckets by default and often deny unencrypted uploads. The concept of public access doesn't map in quite the same way to customer-managed KMS keys, so you have good odds that S3 requests would fail on decryption even when a bucket becomes public.

Next layer of protection is monitoring via Config rules and Trusted Advisor checks, combined with alarms to ensure that these alerts are actually brought to someone's attention.

Finally, except for development accounts, I insist on automating configuration of the environment (and aim to use IAM to prevent manual changes).

This is great if you can pull it off, but you don't get there overnight. And you certainly don't get here by relying only on the basic documentation. I would say you don't even necessarily get there by relying on AWS partners. I've seen more than a couple disappoint.

All of this to say that I'm happy to add one more guardrail (with much lower overhead).

What is it about my post that summoned these mean, snickery comments? It's upsetting, but I'll respond anyway.

The idea is to actively influence how we communicate, not merely analyse it. Suppose I think Sanskrit had some good ideas. The question would be how to bring that use.

And it's not about my world-view, whatever you might think it is. I suppose you're implying that you don't have "world-view alignment" problems with the language you use. Do you think you're just lucky that way? The idea I'm putting forward is that the language in which you communicate (and think) actually shaped your world-view.
Project “Icarus”: Following Birds on Their Way South (2016)
Makes sense, though I guess I don't understand why a hiring decision-maker wouldn't just ask an otherwise good candidate, "Hey, what's up with 2010 to 2012?"

Do hiring people (HR, managers, etc) tend to assume the worst of people?

I've hired a few people in my career, though never with any sort of restrictions placed upon me. I guess it would not have occurred to me that a resume lacking a perfectly recorded timeline of work-age experiences should be a disqualifier.

I suppose this idea that a gap in a resume is bad is pervasive in modern HR departments?

I'm sure it depends on industry, level of job, availability of candidates, etc, of course; but otherwise, this is the mainstream thought?

I have at times gone for years of just fucking around with nothing noteworthy to declare on my CV, and I've never had a difficult time getting hired. Maybe it's not as big of a deal in my fields. I guess the only jobs where I've worked for Faceless Megacorp are ones right after I earned various degrees, so a resume gap wouldn't have come up then. Still, I've never been questioned about my resume timeline in 25 years of working, so the idea just seems a little strange to me.

It makes me a little sad for people, in a way. Everybody should be able to fuck around for a while if they want to.
It's specifically in reference to tech firms. He postulates that competition causes human suffering since people work harder and harder for diminishing rewards as things get increasingly competitive. On the other side, monopolies are established because they invented some novel technology that other people couldn't easily reproduce, or did something so much better than the competition that everyone chooses to use them. Thus, he says monopolies are responsible for making society richer. Moreover, he says they reduce human suffering because 1. the great societal value produced by the monopoly, 2. the workers at the firms don't need to work as hard since they don't have competition, and 3. they can spend more on r&d, thus adding even more value to society.

The statement is surprising on its face, but he plays a good devil's advocate. There are plenty of holes to poke in his arguments, so have at it.

I would have described the ~2008-9 bailouts exactly the opposite of that.

Lots of people were very critical of them, and they weren't gifts, they were the government investing in those companies (buying stock) so they didn't go under. As a whole, those investments ended up being fairly profitable for the government.
Google missed cloud in the same way Microsoft missed internet. Google entire product strategy is defense of Ads/Search revenues and napalming any emerging threats. Through this perspective when cloud technologies started to emerge, they didn't seem important. Then it became clear that cloud providers grow and consolidate so fast, that Google is not going to be hardware buyer #1 anymore and will lose access to best hardware discounts, threatening profitability of Ads/Search itself!

This was pivotal moment: backwards Cloud PA nobody cared about (fun story: Cloud PA was once forgotten at company-wide key result meeting, it was fun to see how couple hundreds of people watching video-cast in the auditorium looked at each other and like "meeting is over, they didn't mention or PA once, what is going on!") suddenly became the priority, was merged with TI (Tech Infrastructure) and everything became "Cloud! Cloud! Cloud!".
Yea, runaway trim is a failure pilots are aware of. That big wheel spins whenever the trim changes so they would notice the huge wheel turning, unprompted, while pulling back on the yoke. This doesn't seem like the whole story though. They clearly were able to control it for a while and were probably making trim inputs so why the sudden descent? They probably didn't turn off the trim motors as the article suggests but should have been able to keep re-trimming the aircraft indefinitely.

PAIP - Norvig 1992. It appears to be available online https://github.com/norvig/paip-lisp
This has gotten replies focusing on aspects such as the "human interest angle" purple prose of the article. One of the whole problems with that style of writing really, it can end up drawing so much attention to the writing itself that it can overshadow the topic. But the topic really is a big deal! And as HN has a significant US contingent I want to reemphasize the section this paragraph starts at the end:

>"Until recently, the United States was exempt from concerns about azole-resistant Aspergillus. Azole use here has historically been low, a small percentage of what happens in Europe—though the numbers that record it, kept by the U.S. Geological Survey, may be incorrect because submitting them is voluntary. Nevertheless, tebuconazole use in the United States rose five times over from 1995 to 2015; the crops that accounted for the most use were wheat and corn. Meanwhile, a Centers for Disease Control (CDC) poll of state health laboratories found no cases of resistance as recently as 2014. But last month, the CDC disclosed that 10 patients treated in the United States have been diagnosed with triazole-resistant Aspergillus bearing the mutations associated with agriculture. In a report in its weekly bulletin, the agency analyzed the records of seven of them. Four of them had never received azoles before they were diagnosed with the resistant strain. Three of the patients died."

With the discussions on antibiotic resistance softening the way, I think real action might be yet possible to forestall this becoming as entrenched an issue over here. I drafted a letter and sent it on my way home from work to my House rep and both my Senators. Seriously, this shouldn't have too many entrenched interests behind it yet, it's relatively small scale and doesn't seem to have the same sort of alternate usage and dependencies agricultural antibiotic use does. And the description of fungal tendrils growing through the lungs then sprouting in internal organs is sufficient graphic and terrifying (like, for those who don't find "100% fatality rate" worrisome by itself) and easy to understand that it could generate a real quick public interest. If a lot of people had no idea this was even a thing, don't assume your reps have it on their radar either. A quick "just use what you were using before and save the medicine for our children" ban before use can really ramp up might well be feasible. In my experience people writing to express issues are rare, such things do get read and if there is no one yet lobbying against it can be the stuff of easy political wins (and/or get slipped into omnibus bills for better and for worse).

Also if you live in the Southwest then I think "valley fever" must link into this, it's also a deadly fungal infection. Treatment is fluconazole.

I always see this as fundamentally a matter of weakening of democracy. In my personal view, democracy is the principle that each person must have a say in decisions that affect them. In other words, any given power must be shared among the people that it affects.

Now as more and more "power" goes into the hands of corporations, less and less power is in the hands of the (supposedly "democratic") governments, which themselves are imperfect democracies. And make no mistake: corporations control, and have power over, vast and chunks of our lives. Crucially, that power is fundamentally held in a nondemocratic way: not subject to any scrutiny or control by the part of the people that it affects. For me, this is one of the most critical flaws of capitalism, the fact that privately held power and democracy are fundamentally incompatible, and that the more power corporations hold, the less democratic is our control over our lives: the less free we are.
