>When there was a conversation going back and forth, or when one person started talking right after someone else finished, the voices got mangled or muted and I couldn't understand them. I had to turn Krisp off.<

This may have nothing to do with Krisp as an app. All phones/communications device have the ability for either half or full duplex audio. Half duplex means only one caller can be heard. If someone were to speak, the audio would cut out as you experienced. Full duplex allows for conversations to happen all at once.

So this all could just be a symptom of the feature of the device or service you're using. I would try your test on different devices and/or services.

True for both partners -- usually after one dies the elderly widow/widower tend to have ~5 years or less.

Some of that is just timing, like if the average age of death per the actuary tables is like 79, and your spouse dies at 80, you're statistically going fairly soon as well.

We had a demo scheduled with a company. We were shopping for a security auditing system for dependencies across all GitHub repositories.

The person going through the demo did an absolutely terrible job at reading the room and understanding who they sell to (right now). Focused a lot on reporting, compliance while we cared more about the mechanics.

This is a country that has the GF. One that routinely oppresses its citizens. One that gives its citizens a social rating that can prevent them from traveling etc etc. If there's one thing I'm sure of, it's that the CCP will find a way of stopping access to this. If it takes hacking into SpaceX, shooting down 12K satellites, etc, it will. Maintaining power is what the CCP does.

What's its own level of horrible is Amazon.

If you have a business account, everything gets bundled into that account. Sure, if your org is 110 people big, keeping track is pretty easy. My last job was with a state university. They see thousands of purchases a day, and Amazon bins them onto 1 credit card, and in 1 account. For all 8 campuses and over 50k people.

So the preferred vendor means also integrating with your financial system. So budgeting is easier. But Amazon makes this so damned hard. Even being able to tag purchases would help. But I'm sure ol Besos figured out that makes him lose a dollar.

"That's why we spend 12 years preparing for this one day. I know people who've taken this exam up to five times."

OK, so it's not really "one day" then.

I don't understand why.

"Instead of pitying us, I wish foreigners would think how awesome we are."

Passing exams is a pointless activity. I'm more interested in results. Those results can be measured in many ways - in power, in lives saved in surgery, in money, in kindness, in criminals caught, in lines of code, in numbers of citations in academic papers, in how many followers you have on Instagram. Korea is a fairly successful country, but it's not leaps and bounds above other countries that don't have this level of stress. It's not something I want my country to aspire to.

I came here to mention a similar comment.

Ultimately, I think the success will be determined by the fact (hypothesis?) that if you de-center the author's authority from the argument about the validity of an argument or idea, you can instead re-center to something more foundational and logical.

i.e. actually discussing the idea itself, rather than name-calling and mud-slinging as a form of discourse ("This person is a crazy Nazi / Maoist / Fascist / etc etc. - therefore how can you believe anything they say?")

Are you in an interracial relationship? I grew up in a small town in Illinois so I know what rural towns are like. I've definitely walked into bars and restaurants in rural Northern California and have had the entire place stare at us while we got seated. Felt exactly like rural Illinois.

I have family members who are openly gay and I know places in Northern California I would _never_ take them.

I also know of areas around the North along the coast where you can end up in a fist fight if you're an outsider especially from the Bay Area. That's less a red vs blue thing and more of a "I don't want outsiders in my town" vibe.

South and North Korea certainly do have the capacity and recent historical precedent of waging a war against each other. The last attack of North Korea on South Korea was on November 23, 2010 [1]: "North Korean forces fired around 170 artillery shells and rockets at Yeonpyeong Island, hitting both military and civilian targets." That's less than 8 years ago. This is why North Korea acquiring nukes is scary: it's not completely unreasonable to imagine that the Korean War could resume.

I don't think in recent history France has engaged its army without either a mandate from the UN (Libya, Ivory Coast, etc.) [2], or being called for help by a local government according to a bilateral defense treaty (Mali). Maybe you have a counter example? Of course you can always go further in the past: France didn't become one of the largest European country by not waging expansionist wars... But I'm not sure it's entirely relevant to the world we are currently living in.

Also I found out that writing down consciously what I’m going to do in my next interval helps me to create peace of mind about my productive time, because at the end of each day I finish with a task history that justifies my work.

> The idea that unlimited liability somehow creates accountability is absurd

Of course, and I dont agree with your intepretation that the courts can nullify requests on the state: the state often pays a lot of damages and compensations, it just does it by taxing third parties.

It's an important detail: if if PGE threatens bankrupcy and for example, endangers payouts to small counties and individuals that lost their homes, you could think that the state should bail out PG&E to help those people. After-all the bailout is free. Or you should think that the state invents a program to raise taxes to alleviate the condition of the victims, and PG&E is not even mentioned.

I prefer to view it from the other side: Why should anyone collect any telemetry from anything that I use without me explicitly opting in?

When I run into a problem, I will opt in as necessary (usually through the process of providing a stack trace / core dump / diagnostics data as requested). Outside of that, my usage habits are my business and my business alone.

Nobody needs to know how, when, or why I'm using anything without my explicit permission.

Vim/Emacs don't collect telemetry on what I'm doing, both are still great (both included to avoid the holy war).

EDIT: Or rather, why should I have to justify my desire for privacy? Why do I have to setup a series of DMZs, proxies, firewalls, or total disconnection, in order to retain that?

Yes, a few people from VMWare made a PR (which I just merged).
Your suggestion only seems to work if the software in the package is stateless. In the case of a DBMS the approach would just put data upgrade problems in another place and in some cases make them harder to solve as well.
If types are specified in function definitions, then you'll find them in the docs, which you need to be reading in order to properly use a function in the first place.

Finding out type definitions is made massively easier with an IDE, but even without one there's an extremely high chance any library you're using is going to at least have autogenerated docs sitting on disk somewhere or mirrored on a crappy website. Maybe you need to clone their repo and build the docs yourself, but even that's pretty unlikely as most language ecosystems have a package manager + docs website or man pages.

I don't really develop anything without at least a third of my screen real estate dedicated to documentation and I don't see "RTFM" as a meaningful or undesirable barrier to programming correctly.

> Now you don't need to know or care about how "uniqBy" works, or the exact details of how you should or shouldn't use it...

I don't follow you. What if "uniqBy" only works properly on sorted lists? You'd never know that based on the type (unless you've got dependent types) and if you're not reading docs on how the function works (the types check/it compiles!) you're going to be in a world of hurt at runtime. Intuitive programming may be easier but it's a heck of a lot more dangerous unless your compiler is intuitive too (i.e. makes the same intuitive assumptions that you do).

> ... and if you try to pass 2 arrays with different items, it will yell at you because that's not right, something that type inference can't determine (at least not with Flow's typesystem)

That's entirely Flow's fault. There's no reason a "proper" type system couldn't deduce that the same type would be needed for both arrays, the `oldItems.concat()` call should have a type definition something like (functional for brevity): concat(Array<T>, Array<T>). Nothing ambiguous about T being the same type.

Votes and currency work completely differently. In an election, you have one vote. You can use it to support someone or not. If you don't vote, you don't get to keep your vote and use it for a different election. Equating votes and money just does not work.

If:

- I believe that someone's work is worth 50,000€

- They currently get 50,000€ from Patreon

- Because their earnings are secret I give them another 1000€

- Because of my support, they refuse an offer for 50,500€

then the resource allocation system failed. The creator is now doing work worth 50,000€ even though they could be doing work worth 50,500€.

(For the sake of argument, I'm making some assumptions that are clearly wrong but required for markets to make sense as allocation mechanisms in the first place)
Did I completely miss it, but I didn’t see anything about the record media type. Did they come out with yet another media format for this? The F55 used AXS cards, and were expensive. It would be right out of Sony’s playbook to come up with another media format. Would really love it if cameras could accept an M.2 form factor. They are fast enough while being significantly cheaper. Never have looked into the robustness of the chips on “professional” media formats. I always just assumed they can change so much because of the special form factor.

So even PPP adjusted, is it fair to call teachers in Ethiopia "remarkably well-paid"? Is using GDP reasonable if it needs to be adjusted for cost of living? Why not just use cost of living? It still feels like using GDP is a way to frame the argument to make a point that would be otherwise difficult to make. This teachers are well paid bit is being used to support the argument that paying teachers more won't help, and to be honest I don't buy that for a minute.

For the curious, do you have any references for your number? I'd like to read more about GDP per capita at purchasing power parity, as well as see some stats that are relevant to Ethiopians.

EDIT: I found a decent starting spot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)...

This article completely backs up my feeling that using raw GDP is super misleading. Even PPP adjusted GDP, "can be problematic because GDP per capita is not a measure of personal income." I feel like this confirms my suspicion that the article is mis-using economic stats to make a misleading argument.
If you only publish by company and date and not by person that's okay, I think.

As it always does, it will boil down to how rigorous they are about the science. Eugenics fails not because it's controversial or immoral but because it's wrong and is based upon fundamental misunderstandings of how DNA works. There are certainly types of research that will benefit from being able to be published without worrying about committing career suicide. Several years ago a relatively new sex researchers did a study that showed significant reduction in depression among women who has unprotected sex with their male partner over women using condoms. This is simple biology, but it destroyed his career. The number of people worried that the public are too stupid to be trusted to make their own decisions and scared that such 'dangerous information' might lead to less frequent condom use and wider spread of STDs was much greater than the number of people who were glad to know some more about human biology.

Happens to my SO constantly. We went in for a urology visit, scheduled for months beforehand by the urologist, get a test done, yadda yaddda yadda. Now, up to 3 years later, we still get bills for that particular visit (in addition to other follow-ups) on a monthly basis. It's ~4/8 hours per week of extra work nearly every week in dealing with this nonsense. It's as if they don't even bother with sending us a bill anymore, they just go straight to collections companies. At this point, I know better than to think it's ever going to be fixed. The insurance and Hospital billing phone numbers are literally on speed dial.

On particular phone call stands out. We got our insurance on a 3-way call with my SO and the hospital billing. For a urology test they charged us ~$800 for the test strip (just a single one!), which the hospital tried to claim was not covered (nothing, it seems, is ever 'covered'). Even the insurance person on the phone was aghast at the hospital: "Wait, so you are telling us that even urological tests, like a basic pH strip, at the specific office for urology, is $3000? What is our client even paying for, like, what is it exactly, that a urologist does? How much does a smile cost?"

US Medical billing makes Kafka blush.

>> Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s first Sherlock Holmes story appeared in 1887. Holmes’ remarkable conclusions were based on data, logic, statistics, probability, deduction and proof.

Actually, they were based on logical abduction. Not deduction.

Abductive reasoning (also called abduction,[1] abductive inference,[1] or retroduction[2]) is a form of logical inference which starts with an observation or set of observations then seeks to find the simplest and most likely explanation. This process, unlike deductive reasoning, yields a plausible conclusion but does not positively verify it.
