Experts are frequently wrong, because they are frequently either not experts at all, misrepresented or haven’t learned not to make wild guesses on the media.

The media doesn’t care about anything, they want a face who can act as an expert of the matter at hand, they don’t care if the expert has real expertise — they care if the expert can say something experty that simple minds understand.

Everbody who has seen known experts in a field on TV knows that they will tell you afterwards that of that long interview session they just had to take the two sentences were you made the mistake of speculation. A mistake that stops many real experts from speculating on TV or stops them totally from ever doing TV stuff at all.

Of course you will always find real experts who enjoy it to have their voice heard and their face seen, and they will abandon all ideals to get their egos massaged — these will be kept on fast-dial by TV producers.
You are right. I had simply forgotten about proot.
Then why should he care if he's affiliated with CERN? Go publish papers to the intellectual dark web. Academia is enough of a trashfire that if you could do it better without degrees and training, it would be very easy to get other dropouts and enfants terribles together and produce results that CERN couldn't with its gatekeeping and political correctness, right?
This seems a bit disingenuous.

The first article is concerning an XSS flaw that was discovered in a pre-release beta version of ProtonMail 5 years ago, prior to public launch.

As for the second one, everybody can agree that criminals are bad, and we do work with law enforcement to bring them to justice, for example here: https://protonmail.com/blog/apophis-squad-arrest/

The third allegation has also been proven false time and time again. Mozilla checked ProtonVPN by meeting with the team in Geneva. The EU also checked Proton Technologies extensively before granting 2 million euros. The state of Geneva also checked before granting tax breaks.

On the other hand, there is ample evidence that there are shady VPN companies engaged in a large scale disinformation campaign against ProtonVPN. Just have a look at the 500 Twitter bots used to spread false info: https://twitter.com/conspirator0/status/1036353291662360577

Who is more likely to be telling the truth? 500 anonymous bots on Twitter, or Mozilla, the EU, and the state of Geneva who have all verified the company?
god - most stuff i listen to from this site has _some_ quality about it - something i can learn, but this is just garbage. 15 minutes, one quarter of the way thru -- done.

Shark attacks increase in the summer and so do the sales of ice cream.

There has been a lot of discrimination so it might be a little early to look at the data.

When I hear "visa" I think of mailing something to a consulate or going there personally for an application, paying a good chunk of money and waiting weeks to hopefully get approval.
Could have started that way, but it seems to have gone beyond that. I'd recommend watching Beyond the Curve (2018) -- https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8132700/

> what I can't understand is why my white homies feel that it's up to them to speak up about racial/gender issues.

I don’t know what your “white homies” are saying (maybe they’re just immature dicks and that’s why you feel that way). But so long as they feel it’s important, are honestly and genuinely basing it on a good intention and with good reasoning, why shouldn’t they be allowed to be part of the conversation? This idea that only non-white people can talk about diversity, or only women or trans (etc.) should be able talk about gender is preposterous on the face of it.
>My point is not that everyone has that support system, but that it doesn't take much

I vehemently disagree with this.

Not sure how we could continue to discuss if we can't see eye to eye on this basic point.

>Telling people they shouldn't have kids--which would end up as telling poor people and minorities that they can't afford kids--isn't a replacement for offering support such as childcare.

Who said we should be so prescriptive? I think just raising awareness would be enough to move the needle. You can do that AND offer support.

Is that easy? To hit the right spot on a 1km target from a n x 10^9 km (presumably from space and lifting the necessary equipment, otherwise include correcting for atmospheric distortion?). Also, wouldn't power / beam dispersion be a big problem?
I'm the wrong guy to ask, I kinda dislike IDEs.
I use vscode sometimes, exactly for the code completion and integrated documentation you mentioned. But I often use vim for the lack of that. Every helper can also be a distraction, every functionality is an interface you have to learn.

Right now, I only have formatters (which also work as syntax checkers).
On Leaf Blowers
I agree, it is a tool box thing. I either did not know of or forgot the term "dynamic programming," but I use memoization regularly, and have used it as short cuts on recursive calls. Accidental dynamic programming. Heck, the first time I heard of the collatz conjecture, my toy playing around with it memoized the results.
I think the original reply was talking about countries like USA, Canada, Australia, NZ etc that will have to do ETIAS.

Schengen areas are still true freedom of movement.

I am an American citizen and think all electronic visas are a silly pain in the ass, but are better than traditional visas which require mailing your passport somewhere.

The world should strive for true freedom of movement for all people. Show up in person, walk through customs like everyone else regardless of passport.

ETIAS is therefore a regression from the norm. But, Vietnam used to be paper visa only, and now is E-visa. So that one is progress.
From the particlesforjustice link:

"As an example of the inappropriateness of citations as a metric, almost 1/3 of Strumia's citations come from being one of thousands of authors on the CMS Higgs discovery paper, to which we can safely conclude that his contribution (as a theoretical associate in an experimental collaboration) was modest. Hundreds more citations come from papers about the statistically insignificant 750 GeV fluctuation at CERN, which disappeared with more data."

Ouchie.
Which I imagine happens a lot. I expect a lot of/most drivers have at least a vague sense that a decent chunk of their earnings are going to get eaten up down the road in new tires, maintenance, etc. But they have rent due next week so...
Q: Did Prof. Strumia work with subject matter experts on his controversial research before giving his presentation?

My opinion: Being an expert in one area may not translate well into other areas. I'm a pretty good sysadmin, maybe even above average. But I don't present myself as a good/great devops or software engineer because I know I don't know as much as the developers I work with. If I'm trying to figure out some issue that involves a build or code in some way, I do my initial research then present that tentative conclusion to trusted experts for them to review. I don't make a presentation saying definitively "this is now happening" because I'd probably be wrong.
L2 cache only got packaged with the chip in the Pentium 2, and even then, wasn't on chip, hence the weird packaging.
I'm very skeptical that many people will want this. Data misrepresentation is rarely
(never?) due to a fault in the persistence medium. Its usually a political reason, or human error that perverts consensus.
Typical HN smugness in the comments. The original reply is probably referring to Schengen areas and is confused about why on earth ETIAS should apply to them

>"I believe in freedom of movement between EU nations"
If there's no other benefit, then we should continue to treat US citizens better than they treat us as good hosts, to maintain the moral high ground on the issue, and to demonstrate our ideals about unrestricted travel.
But isn't the ESTA procedure exactly the electronic equivalent of that?
Yes, those were the days. I was there with Lari for a couple of years. The article is accurate but does not mention the hortible smells in ed 011, especially after 2-3 days of some of us being there non stop, no showers included.

Unfortunately the article also hypes up the value and impact of "hacking".

There was no rocket science nor much valuable to learn after hacking the 20th server with the same old tired exploits. Plus most stuff was easy then.

This is why after the first 6-12 months of 3am hacking excitement, most of us moved on to learning difficult fundamental things such as algorithms, compilers, complexity, threading, AI and many others while others would still be in ED011 years later "hacking" away ... without really making progress.

If you are thinking of pursuing CS as a major, certainly hack away in highschool and early on in collegebut eventually don t forget to go for the difficult fundamental things.

Interestingly, Lari was not a CS student and ED 011 was his place of connection with computing ...
Diving into the great observer pattern in JavaScript
That “just enough to get by” mentality is dangerous. When I see somebody who has put together a monstrosity that they can’t get under control it’s always somebody who didn’t really understand what was going on “under the hood”.
> Then why should he care if he's affiliated with CERN?

Because it's a violation of the principle just stated above. Since he proved he can do physics at high level enough to be part of CERN, but was excluded on political grounds... And yes, of course in a perfect world fair competition between ideas would eventually win. That is of little consolation to those who are punished for expressing their thought.
Australia ya, but Canada? The last time I visited Canada by car, I didn’t need electronic travel authorization, so there must be some exemption rather than all visitors.
It's a good point, but I do suspect that if I were to look into it the kinds of people you mention:
"nurses, doctors, teachers, engineers, programmers"
who are on twitter would actually turn out to have their own blogs or have written a book read by an audience, and would be thought leaders in their field and such folk. Your average member of those classes are likely not regular users of twitter.

Twitter just doesn't work if people don't care what you say - you have to already be a celebrity, with an opinion that 'matters' to people.

" Twitter doesn't do a good job of surfacing different communities"
Yes, but what I am getting at here is that they are communities in the sense of several important people in the field who all know each other

and thats it.

There simply aren't many 'average' people using twitter regularly, at least in the sense of writing thoughts and/or having conversations.

"using Twitter is sometimes a useful way to get customer support. "

Yes, thats what I was saying. I think it should not be this way - at least, the actual dedicated customer support of the company should be at least as effective as tweeting at them.
This is really bad reporting. It isn't just US citizens, click here for a list of the 57 countries that will also require ETIAS in 2021:

https://etias.com/about-etias/who-needs-etias

It even includes the island of Palau and their population of 20,000 people:

https://etias.com/about-etias/etias-for-palauan-citizens

This has nothing to do specifically with the US.
Tit for tat is a great model in pre-school. The more mature response is to investigate the underlying issues.

Instead of putting your fingers in your ears and yelling “We are EU, you must treat us all the same” there could be some acknowledgement that travelers from those countries are disproportionately overstayers and there is a justifiable reason to need to more closely track them.

If US travelers are overstaying in any particular EU countries, I would expect and appreciate the same measures would be put in place.

Policy should be set based on the reality on the ground and not merely policital fantasy.

If those countries citizens are not in fact disproportionate over-stayers than the US should change their policy and apologize.

EDIT: This short brief [1] seems to imply there’s room for improvement on the US side. I don’t quite understand why the subjective visa refusal rate is so high for some of these countries when the overstay rate is so low. Unless you argue that the refusals are preventing the overstays, but that is very much unproven.

The article apparently cannot agree with itself either on this question.
The last good paying jobs in America are in software and the tech cartel in backhanded collusion with outsourcers are actively working to suppress the wages by flooding the market pure and simple. 10 years ago I had a neighbor who at the time was 40 was a QA analyst and was earning decent wage fast forward 10 years he is driving Uber because his company brought in hundreds of new labor and gave him the option of “transferring” as a contractor to the outsourcing company where the starting hourly pay was $25 an hour. Simple supply and demand mechanics.

ETIAS does not affect freedom of movement within the EU in any way whatsoever. It is about non-EU cizitens travelling into the EU (well, the Schengen Zone).

The barriers between the EU and other countries already exist, just to a different degree. There are certain benefits of ETIAS, especially concerning the security and illegal migration, as explained by a video linked in a neighbouring post. US is already imposing ESTA on EU citizens: why should EU give in and not apply the reciprocal measures?
It's funny you mention Python because I am in my mid-thirties and was writing Python in high school.
I'm guessing not a manufacturer. They haven't historically wanted to get into fleet management beyond some side investments. But the rental car companies (both long-term and short-term) seem likely players as soon as self-driving is reliable off-the-shelf tech. Which I expect to be a long while in the areas dense enough for taxi services to work well.
Well, with centralised IT systems, it doesn't need to be a physical sticker on your passport but rather an authorization number associated with your passport number (more secure than relying on someone not faking the sticker). But the vetting process is still there. Fundamentally isn't it the exact same thing (a sort of an electronic helmet)?

Getting Started with React – An Overview and Walkthrough (2018)
It's not all that comparable. U.S. GDP per capita is $60,000. France is $43,500 (PPP). (In terms of GDP per capita, the U.S. is richer than France by about the same ratio as France is richer than Lithuania or Estonia.) Average net financial wealth per household is almost 3x higher in the U.S. than in France, and 2x higher than the OECD average.
Put the technologies you used next to the projects you worked on. Just listing "Python" or "SQL" without context isn't meaningful.

Similarly, it's not clear what you actually did in the projects. Write it more like: "Implemented X for Y using Z" and add in some benchmarks such as "reduced overhead by 12%" or "scaled to 100,000 clients", if possible.
Because the potential effect is that every EU nation ends up with their citizens needing visas to go to the US. The status quo is that most EU citizens get visa-free travel to the US, but some don't. I'm sure people hope the result is that all EU citizens get visa-free movement, but the opposite seems like a possibility.

(I'm not taking sides, as I don't know enough. But there is a big potential downside here).
Then the EU probably overlooked this:

https://protonmail.com/blog/diversity-in-tech-why-it-matters...

If ProtonMail had grown like a typical Swiss company, only hiring candidates from Switzerland, we never would have been able to find enough talent to drive our growth. By hiring globally, and disregarding which country a candidate is from, we increased our potential hiring pool from 8 million to 7 billion. A diverse workplace also helps to attract applicants. More applicants means we can hire more candidates, while simultaneously being more selective.

But I'm glad that EU money is spent for hiring globally.

You're wrong, that's not whataboutism.

>Whataboutism (also known as whataboutery) is a variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy that attempts to discredit an opponent's position by charging them with hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving their argument,[1][2][3] which in the United States is particularly associated with Soviet and Russian propaganda.

OP did not "attempt to discredit an opponent's position by charging them with hypocrisy". Please stop trying to stifle genuine intellectual discussion with erroneous assertions.

Well guys, it's due to lot of immigration and refugees specially Islamic ones freely moving inside EU through Sweden and Germany.

US has already paid once when Patriot act did not exist and everything was free, free movement of money and people. It doesn't want to repeat it again.

This is a bad move on part of EU as US doesn't let anyone in without strict background checks, so accept anyone from US to EU is relatively safe.

But reverse is not true due to refugee crisis.

Most people are missing the important context here charging based on ideals, not based on timeline and facts.

Wikipedia almost agrees with you, but the "on a passport" part doesn't connect.

>A visa (from the Latin charta visa, meaning "paper that has been seen")[1] is a conditional authorization granted by a country to a foreigner, allowing them to enter, remain within, or to leave that country.

Why does it matter to you if it goes into the passport or not? If I recall correctly my F1 Visa for the US didn't go into my passport either, but was a separate document.

As an alternative to a bad map or no map, sometimes alternative solutions get shot down over pure arrogance, as with Musk's clear jealousy of that swim team guy who saved the kids from the cave. Musk wanted to be the hero, that mattered to him more than actually saving anybody, and so he went out of his way to critique and defame. Instead of appreciating the job well done and lives saved, he inserted himself into the situation. Jealousy can be a powerful motive all by itself, and is too often weaponized.

Also, I wonder where the dividing line between epistemic humility and thinking outside of boxes rests. I mean, is it purely circumstantial, or dependent upon personality traits?
