I really appreciate the insight your comment provided me. It does take a certain person to do those things you mentioned. I don't think I have the heart for it, or rather too big of a heart for it. I would not want to evict a person with children or someone who lost their job because of something out of their control. Also, the only experience I have with a rental is my sons mom renting a house out. Constant problems. Finally they gave notice, before the lease was up, which at that point she was just happy to be rid of them and forget the end of the lease. But when she came on the last day they were supposed to be there, they were gone and they had broke the water line to the dishwasher and left it run as a F-you. The insurance company found a flaw in the policy, some fine print that stated she had to be in the house within a certain time period and denied her claim. She was out about 25000$ fixing the water and other damage. Renting is not easy money and definitely not for me.

> I think Apple is finding out the hard way that increasing prices means lower volumes

IMHO this is getting the causation backwards.

I think Apple saw the stagnation in unit sales happening anyway as people no longer see newer features and tech improvements as 'must-haves' and are keeping their phones for longer for that reason. As opposed to people keeping their phones longer because new ones cost too much.

This is surely part of the reasoning behind their open pivot to an emphasis on devices lasting longer and optimising iOS for older devices, ie they know people are keeping their devices longer, therefore they're marketing: if you want a phone to last longer then Apple is the vendor for you.

Of course to maintain profit levels they have to take the gamble that people then are prepared to pay more initially for a phone. Hence the differentiation between the Xr (new 'regular' model) and the Xs premium models. And the increase in ASP during 2018 due to the introduction of the X at the high end would have shown the gamble to be the right one.

I agree with his reasons for the lack of C conferences, and present one more: what I've noticed from the C developers and "community" (if there is even something to be called that) is a relative lack of dogmatic cargo-cult thinking and otherwise trend-chasing compared to other language communities, which I hypothesise is partly responsible for the "we must have a conference" attitude. To repurpose a phrase, "the choir doesn't need to be preached to."

Also, I allude to above, there's not much of a "C community" either. It's all just a bunch of people using the language for very different purposes and with very different styles, and IMHO this diversity is a good thing; it just doesn't make for a population who would like conferences.

Though, if I were to critique it, I would say that the JS was not really necessary for such a simple case for video. There's only one <source> (I guess H.264 is considered ubiquitous now) and the big central play button just gets in the way of the video (and on most platforms, the default styling of the <video> element puts a big play button over top of it anyway).
A way I would pinpoint a hidden server would be to monitor different data center regions / networks for outages or congestion, while at the same time looking at the hidden server's ping reply. The response times alone can reveal a lot of information. Once I have the data center, I'm sure the data center admins can see which servers are using Tor, and help with pinpointing it further. No need for taps.
Being a decoder, they probably place a high priority on having the widest possible platform support. C is still top dog in that respect.

Not sure I follow, but it sounds right.

I guess if we're throwing around the term God it kind of loses it's juice.

God in this sense would be "thing that can do things nobody understands." In that sense, yes. Artificial General Intelligence (or maybe even Narrow AI) which can do things that humans can't understand for our benefit would look like "God" to most people.

Nobody can point to a reasonable causal chain of action for previously described "Gods." In the situation I'm advocating for, we would be able to do that - though likely still to a lesser degree than full interpretability.

> "The reaction of the Intelligence Community to many problems is to collect more information, even though analysts in many cases already have more information than they can digest. What analysts need is more truly useful information--mostly reliable HUMINT from knowledgeable insiders--to help them make good decisions. Or they need a more accurate mental model and better analytical tools to help them sort through, make sense of, and get the most out of the available ambiguous and conflicting information."

I would think the key is the latter. That is, even if you get more data it does not become __useful__ information unless you're willing and able to process it.

That aside, it's difficult, if not impossible for us "on the outside" to judge the value of these concept to the IC as we only get to know what the IC wants us to know. They're playing the long game. They're playing chess. Maybe it's just me but when I hear a news story (or a friend / colleague) that says "The NSA said..." or the "CIA said..." I accept those as close to meaningless. The IC is, afterall, in the misinformation business.

p.s. I believe the proper term for tbinking about thinking is meta-cognition. I find it odd that the CIA would avoid using the proper term.
This is completely false. C++11 introduced a lot of new paradigms, and that's it. That shift was for the better, and I haven't met a single person who can honestly say that the changes they made turned it into a worse language. Quite the opposite: it's more expressive, readable, and easier to use.
> a competitor that is completely equal

Who said anything about "completely equal"? Of course every market has a leader. But in a healthy market there is at least one other player of comparable size: Coke & Pepsi. Hertz & Avis. Boeing and Airbus.

> You love Amazon but you are shooting craps when you "use them all the time"?

No, not quite. I love Amazon, but they are not a panacea. One of the problem with them is that a lot of the things they sell are counterfeits, and when you order something there is no way to insure that you're not going to get a counterfeit. Hence: crap shoot. A retailer with real competition could never get away with that.

> want to just imagine a world where Amazon has more competition because Jeff Bezos is the worlds wealthiest person.

No. The reason I want Amazon to have competition is not because I want Jeff Bezos to have less money, it's because I want him to have less power. And not so much as a potential buyer, but as a potential seller or potential employee. Amazon is generally pretty good to its customers (unlike, say, Comcast), not so much to its merchants and employees.

And I also want to be clear: I am not saying that I would necessarily use government power to change how Amazon does business. But I do think that this is a legitimate thing for a society to do. Even if Amazon is not the worst example of a monopoly run amok, there is no question that monopolies can be harmful, and that society has a legitimate interest in defending itself against them.
How servile of you...
Others have pointed this out I think, but this kind of craft concept has been around for a while. Here is a 1964 Popular Mechanics article about the idea...

I was thinking the same thinking. The book "Your Brain at Work" is all about metacognition. I'm sure there are plenty of others. But that's the one I've read and I recommend it often.
Back when I used to ride road bikes, I upgraded from a decade old (but very well maintained) aluminium Trek 1000 to a carbon fibre Merida Scultura.

I had the same tyres, pedals, and shoes on my new bike (switched them over). I had a 3-4 km/h improvement on average on the flats instantly. So my new carbon bike was objectively better than my old aluminium bike.

I'm not sure if the improvement was because the bike was brand new, or because it was carbon and had higher end components, but it was definitely there.
"Which is irrelevant, as it's still revenue AND profit for him"

And that is also irrelevant.

>>> He had a job and got paid for it <<<

Is this now the threshold for sinister activity?

Are you people reading your own words?

The implication of the OP regarding 'profit' was that there was something remiss re: 'non profit'.

There isn't.

There is no smoke here.

A guy had a job in the private sector, very much like most others before they go into public office.

That's it.

So, hopefully, they'll have a chance for vetting.

But we'll find out about as much about his non-profits backers as we did about Loretta Lynch clients while she was in private practice before become AG - which is not much.

Money he receives during holding public office is another story altogether.

This is the question - since the distances involved are well beyond the resolution of any telescope (of any type), how do we know that the objects are of a size on the order of a single solar system? Could these objects be light years across? Or somewhere in between?

We have theory/models that assume certain basis ideas. Are these basis assumptions the only options?

If the model is at odds with the data, one needs to take a long hard look at the model used and all of the underlying assumptions.

I've never seen JIRA be "pretty fast", so I can't agree. I also think "2000 different fields" is an unfair exaggeration, if we're going to focus on being fair. The 10 to 20 fields that people might use per issue should not prevent JIRA from being fast with the right architecture.

Serious question,

Is there any alternative theory or method about how to avoid systematic bias other than being aware of systematic bias?

Also comment,
I think the studies of awareness bias involved very simple phenomena. That may or may not carry-over to more complex processes.
The Pintupi Nine
Thinking analytically is skill that can be taught, certainly, but it's turtles all the way down.

Which is to say is, one part of consciousnesses can take control of another part through training, yes. But who is it that is taking control? Until we self-determine this (or accept some form of math as an arbitrator of reality where applicable) one bias or conditioning is simply replaced with another. Can't get the most accurate models like that.

"For just as the body absorbs things of all kinds, things common and unclean no less than those that the priest or a vision has cleansed, and converts them into swiftness or strength, into the play of beautiful muscles and the moulding of fair flesh, into the curves and colours of the hair, the lips, the eye; so the soul in its turn has its nutritive functions also, and can transform into noble moods of thought and passions of high import what in itself is base, cruel and degrading" -De Profundis

A large part of "intelligence analysis" is just using domain-specific knowledge to take primary sources and translate/summarize them, such that you remove the need for others to have domain-specific knowledge in understanding that data.

As such, if you're pedantically using ten-dollar words just because they're "correct", you're not doing your job as an analyst.

High-level IA is about other things, but that doesn't mean you unlearn the skills you have ground into you as a desk worker.
I knew that the trend for Manager READMEs bothered me, but this really helped me to nail down why. When I'm wearing a manager hat, I see it as my job to serve the people who work for me. But READMEs are a one-way communication medium. They send the message, "It's your job to pay attention to me, the manager. You must learn and conform to my quirks." I think that's exactly the wrong message for a new employee.

Interpersonal communication
> any major operations have entered the public record by now.

Not even close to true. There are still Tibetan, Cuban, Southeast Asian, and South American ops that are still highly classified. A considerable number of nuclear-related operations are also unknown to the public.

As far as “Democratically elected leaders,” that is subject to debate given the breadth and depth of Soviet operations at the time, especially Department A of the First Chief Directorate. Even the Palestinian “situation” was primarily created with Soviet sponsorship to destabilize America’s chief ally in the region.

The history of CIA goes far beyond the sophomoric understanding of many of its detractors. Definitely not angels, but it’s a far more nuanced history, much of it untold.
Your questions are reasonable, but in reality, there's nothing remotely suspicious about this.

People get paid a lot in high powered situations.

Fundraisers for charities make a fortune.

Members of Boards get paid a fortune for seemingly not doing a lot.

Tons of people in 'think tanks' are paid a fortune for their roles.

There's really not much out of line here.

If he was receiving money while on the public dole - that's another story.

If he 'all of a sudden' got a pile of cash whilst we knew he was going to be AG - different story.

But his involvement in the non-profit predates any of the Trumpian shenanigans, so this is really a non story.

If you apply the same degree of scrutiny to non-Trump officials from other eras, you run into the same problems.

Most massively: the Clinton Global Wealth Initiative. Basically a super-massive kitty-fund for the Clinton family, that actors - many of them nefarious - from all sorts of shady places in the world have paid into while Clinton was Secretary of State ! Her fund was literally receiving millions of dollars from state actors she was doing public business with. There was an example of a man in Chicago who made a $200K donation, and then was appointed to a board (after a scandal he was withdrawn) ... but there's basically no way to detangle Clinton from that fund, no matter how above board she is. Nobody in government should be managing a several hundred million dollar fund that their peers are contributing to. I'm not hinting that she was corrupt, rather, the conflict of interest is as big as you can get and there wasn't much fuss over it.
> I'm going to guess--possibly just projecting--that most C developers are older and not terribly interested in meeting new "C friends" or jumping into some hot, new "C startup".

what do you mean by this? libertarians i know seem to like the ACLU as much as any large institution, and as far as i know, paying for news differs much more by age group than political affiliation, even though many libertarians might feel that the mainstream news doesn't share their values.

> Also education. An educated populace is a populace that's hard to control.

this is definitely one that libertarians/conservatives don't like to pay for, but i do question your claim here. how is an educated populace harder to control when the government administers the education?

There is no indication on your post that the message is largely known to be true, or that it's opinion, or a hypothesis, I can't get how certain I must be of it. Overall I can't be sure that I'm just getting a message that fits my biases from noise, or if I am actually deriving meaning from the text.
