The daughter was accepted to Harvard, and the mother charged and convicted, but the daughter has a Harvard degree now.
Exactly

Although arguably no one should be on twitter, they are on there with regard to their research, which makes it worse -

>>Remember, they were based on three simple rules: "ISPs cannot block legal content, applications, or services", "ISPs cannot slow down or degrade internet service based on the content, application, or service accessed by users", and "ISPs cannot accept payment to give content, applications, or services more favorable access to users."

Regulations are always more complex than their supporters intend. Implementation requires additional rules for compelling compliance, and those additional ancillary rules become a hindrance to bottom-up innovation.
> A 30% cut is something that Spotify needs to pay to Apple for every user that subscribe to Spotify through Apple devices

Not so as I understand it. Only if you put the option to subscribe into your app in the app store. That cost doesn't exist for Mac or PC, but Apple doesn't heavily curate and have costs associated with the wild west of downloading apps from the web.

> it doesn't weight anything to Apple

There are significant costs associated with the app store, no? Part of the reason users gravitate towards the iPhone is because you can download high quality apps without malware, viruses, etc.

> Apple Music doesn't need to have their profitts cut in 30% because they are owned by Apple itself.

Conceptually I'm with you. This is an area I'm struggling with though. The Apple Online store charges accessory manufacturers a fee to be featured there. Should Apple also pay a fee to feature their own products there? I don't think so.

> it's even worse if they are using Siri, Homepod and Apple Watch to make Apple Music more appealing in comparison to Spotify

Why? They've made the hardware. Why should they have to let Spotify run on it in the exact way Spotify wants? (You can Airplay Spotify to Homepod.)
> Spotify feels aggrieved that Apple does not allow it to develop software for certain of their hardware lines, such as Homepod or Apple Watch. Why do I have to allow you to develop software for my proprietary hardware, just because it's technically possible?

I see your point but you could flip that a 3rd way:

"Consumers pay for their hardware - they own the device - so why should manufacturers tell consumers what they can or cannot install on their hardware?"

I grew up in an era when hardware wasn't so tightly coupled with software. In fact you could go further than that and mod your hardware with custom chips and so on without violating anything more than your warranty. So I find this current era where consumers are expected to pay high prices for hardware and still not have any rights over that platform to be a massive con.
How much does Spotify pay for "PC users"? Of course, they have Customer Acquisition costs there too. Google gets the money. Why do they not fight Google? Spotify got big through the apple app store channel. Now that they are big they start whining about the cost of the channel. If you don't like it, then don't use it?
> Yet some patients and their advocates say this amounts to a suggestion that the syndrome might be a mental illness or psychosomatic, a notion that enrages them. They would prefer that research efforts focus on identifying a biological cause or diagnosis.

The underlying stance (i.e. "psychosomatic and mental illness are no real illnesses") is so utterly moronic I am surprised they even found the tweet button.
Hi, I /read/ science fiction as a hobby, mostly english originals although I'm native german speaker. I'd love to get german science fiction, however, as I'm only buying DRM-free (or at most watermarked) ebooks, I'm currently relying on humblebundle.com and storybundle.com and direct-buying from various smaller publishers. This sort of rules out non-english books.

As there is no humblebundle and storybundle for german books (yet), have you thought about releasing your stuff via crowd funding? Just use a crowd-funding platform and "demand" some (arbitrary) amount of money total before you openly release something on the web. I like this "payment" strategy because it does not depend on DRM.
> The airline industry has to deal with public perception.

Yes and I think that is what is at stake here as well. The airline industry at the end of the day is an industry. We forget that sometimes because it feels like a monopolistic or oligarlistic industry, but we are their customers, and if people start demanding that they not ride a 737 Max, and start to refuse to purchase routes that are serviced by a 737 Max, you'll see some changes really quick. I for one have told every loved one, and every person I know that travels frequently to not board these planes, and they agree as well. I additionally informed my boss and clients that if they need me to fly, it will absolutely under no circumstances be on a 737Max. I am 100% certain I am not alone in this.
wow, that's brilliant.
This is a pretty strong opinion, and not necessarily correct.

>"Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain Workbook" [1]. This is a completely wrong way to learn how to draw

Do you have a source for this? This book has been recommended by a good majority of the drawing/painting professors I had (at a fine arts school). The entire basis of the book is "learn to draw by learning to see".

>Do this everyday for 6 months and you will pickup how to think in "3D" so to speak.

This isn't bad advice, but not doesn't correlate directly with learning to draw/paint from observation. This is a helpful exercise if you are looking to go more of an illustrative/modeling route. If OP is looking to draw from imagination completely, this would be helpful - but I would still argue that practicing from observation would build a better visual vocabulary than practicing basic shapes only.

>But fundamental drawing skills are __critical__ in order to paint well.

true

>All bets are off if you're trying to do abstract art or non-representational art.

Demonstrably false. Every single one of the abstract/non-representational masters have an extremely good grasp of "traditional" (i.e. observational) skills. Even Pollock knew how to draw from life.

To OP - I would recommend starting by drawing AND painting from life at the same time. There's no real reason to master drawing before attempting to paint, as painting is essentially drawing with color. That being said, drawing is a great way to force you do as much as you can with a very limited tool box (line, shape, texture, value, space (composition)).

Also - don't take anyone's advice as an absolute. There are thousands and thousands of ways to progress as an artist and not a single one of them is "correct". The only constant is to be persistent and self-critical.
I use Spotify on my Apple Watch all the time. But there isn't the particular integration which Spotify wants: you can't store music on it.
It isn't just the older generation (and actions done 20-30 years ago) doing dumb things and getting shamed for it. The newer generation grows up without learning the implications of mass surveillance, mass long-term storage, mass searching and indexing, and encountering driven people looking to shame others just for fun.

(example: one of the kids of the parents accused in the college admission scandal tweeted about "studying is hard" or something to that effect and it came into my twitter feed and everyone was having a laugh)

If you decide that people NOW shouldn't be shamed for behavior 20-30 years ago, why even bother shaming? I know I'll be different in 20-30 years in the future, so maybe don't shame me (as much) in the present, as long as the actions aren't too heinous. Maybe I don't end up changing, in which case, more shaming would seem 'normal', but the advantage there is that someone has to remember to come check on me. I could gamble that there's a bigger outrage and the internet mob moves onto something else.

The upside of this is that the internet is learning how many people are really bad people. Part of the outrage culture comes from that. Most of these details were hidden in an information-deprived world, and importantly, lack of searching and indexing to actually find all of it.

Maybe it will get so bad that new identities become a much bigger industry and that becomes a social norm. A new identity and probably a new home country is probably the best short-term solution today for this if anyone feels unjustly shamed by society.
This is a refreshing POV, tanks for sharing. How about a model where you release with some restrictions for some time, enough to grow some customers, and then open up after a delay. Is it enough to preserve some competitive advantage while also participating in a truly open software ecosystem?

The Optimistic New Argument for Dimming the Sky
Stop trying to make rust happen, gretchen, it's not going to happen.
You...post updates to your study via the same channels?

Also, this assumes that all "errors" are alike, but a methodological error in a study is very different from "new evidence has come to light that questions the hypothesis", "we now know that these things have a third common cause", "we discovered in subsequent research that there are confounding factors we did not know to control for in the original study", etc.

IMHO, this comment badly misunderstands the point of scientific inquiry. It isn't to produce a final and immutable result, it's to make observations to rationally assess a hypothesis, and then to repeat the process. This means that science necessarily represents the best interpretation we have for existing observations, with the understanding that subsequent observation might show us confounding factors we couldn't have thought of before.

To put this another way: what if Newton had articulated his understanding of physics in the internet age, and then relativity came along? Do we now tar and feather Newton because he failed to anticipate the contradictions between his position and subsequent observations around the speed of light? That seems like an impossibly high standard to hold scientists to, and that to me is the crux of the problem: we should be expecting scientists to get things progressively more right and to explain why, not to get it completely right the first time.
This place has basically ruined me for writing. I used to sort of know how to do it! The idea of writing a top-to-bottom "browser Javascript is evil" post is intimidating to me now. It was intimidating when I wrote the post referred to above! And that one wasn't even good!

I'll work on it.
Outrage culture is not about social function imo, it's that words and thoughts provoking the feeling of outrage transmit more easily, that people willingly click into stories about outrage regardless of their relevance. If ideas are like DNA in that they propagate across human minds and there is a type of Darwinian survival of the fittest, outrage inducing memes are simply more fit.
what about linux?
A seed finder is independent on the hash function. It is dependent on the framework you are using. If you are using perl, ruby, python or php e.g. I won't publish the perl solution as nobody is protected and I had my own services on Redhat Openshift, which is unsafe forever.
I only published the proof of the various attacks on most hash functions in my testsuite, to verify the proper protection against it.
There’s been several lawsuits’ worth of material uncovering highly preferential treatment afforded to Spotify by Facebook, which both parties pretended didn’t exist. I’m sure a Google search can help you out with this one.

As for your second comment, well... You’re aware that the parent post is a website that was specifically created to ax-grind, right?
Of course.

But it's also your right to change anything you want for whatever reason you want. Microsoft decided that they don't care about the color and prefer to not have some of their users thinking about their cultural biases when seeing the image. They're free to do so.
In what way is it a sleight of hand? I'd argue that most people delegate almost the entirety of their voting decision to some external authority, in almost exactly the same way as they'd sign up for and use a service like NewsGuard.
I was about to argue that in a free market, 30% would never be a reasonable price, but then I looked and that's what Steam charges and they have multiple viable competitors on the same platform, so now I don't know.
Twitter is incentivized to make the tweet button easy to reach, because outrage (aka: engagement) gets people to look at ads. It's hard to even look at the failure of the education system for so many. It's sickening.
We don't know which pilot was the flying pilot on this takeoff.
Not to defend the parent comment, but the Director of the FAA was replaced with a Trump appointment about a year ago after completing a 5 year term.

The FAA went from being led by a Democrat, civilian, and life-long civil servant to Republican Air Force LtCol. I would be surprised if they had similar views on how best to lead the agency.

From the wikipedia article about our current FAA Director:

> Elwell was named Vice President of the Aerospace Industries Association[5] in 2008 where he stayed until 2013. Elwell was a civil aerospace manufacturer representative in this capacity where he was an advocate for various companies.[2]

I was a Sublime diehard for the longest time, but I've recently been using VS Code simply for the Elixir Language Server add-on which is incredible and doesn't seem integrate with Sublime yet.

But then this issue[0] happened and Code caused me to lose a bunch of data... so now I'm on the fence of going back to Sublime which has always been rock solid for me.

Hmmm. It's absolutely not that as far as I can tell. Apple is not extracting a toll from their competition through their other holdings. Nothing has changed for Spotify: if you want to sign up users through Apple's infrastructure, which has a cost associated with it, you have to pay the same price as everyone else.

To repeat my question asked of someone else in this thread: Apple charges e.g. Mophie a fee to feature their products on the Apple Store online. Should Apple be required to pay the same fee for featuring their own products there?
Why unpopular? It's a rational decision. Diversity vs centralization.
>What if after a year of posting, you find an error in your study? You have just misinformed everyone for a year. How do you backtrack on that?

If a paper turns out to be flawed, then you retract the paper. In order to retract it, someone needs to figure out that it was in fact flawed. Most scientists don't knowingly publish bad research, they just make mistakes that get missed in peer review. Keeping research hidden away in paywalled journals isn't going to improve the quality of science one iota.

Expecting scientists to maintain radio silence is roughly analogous to security by obscurity, with the same obvious shortcomings. The literature is full of widely-cited studies with significant methodological flaws, because they're useful enough to cite but not important enough to warrant serious scrutiny. If we're serious about building a credible scientific literature, we need to subject papers to the disinfectant of sunlight. We need to leverage the power of social media to make connections between scientists, iterate faster, bring informed laypeople into the conversation and find those bad papers.
I really like your idea about officially supported packages, but also to group them together for popular techstacks.

This was exactly the same problem I had. There were so many options that just didn't work well that I wasted tons of time trying out every plugin I could find to solve my problems.

And I still didn't fully solve it, I just gave up and lived with annoyances.

Edit: I perceive VScode partially solved this problem with the download count/voting on extensions.
The FAA rates Ethiopa at category 1 which means they can fly to and from US soil. In other words, this crash could've happened on US soil under the watchful eyes of the FAA.

This is for the lawyers to make sense of, but in electing to be a platform provider, they should be held to higher standards in my opinion.

They did indeed have "the service" in question, it was just limited to Apple's own offering.

It's a scenario not unlike net neutrality: an infrastructure provider that is also a content provider can put themselves or select customers in a position where free market forces are hindered or suspended in order to achieve a monopoly-like status.
I use it, but I absolutely hate that I can't print from it.
Didn't know about Sublime Merge. Though, I am hesitant to learn or become dependent on any GUI for Git other than gitk, and git-gui which ship with Git.

Honestly, Tcl/Tk is ugly as hell but every other GUI I've seen seem to just be re-stylings of those. There is also a blame gui which comes with Git.

Docker works in layers. Depending on how your layers are set up, it may be just a single diff from the existing image you already have, which can be quite fast. However, if you change one of the base layers, like Alpine Linux it will rebuild all layers above that. Good container design should make that rare.
Spotify did not squash the random guy that made that app, they asked him to change the name and then hired him to work on the official app.

>>Like, protection of health and life - that's something companies don't tend to do on their own

The trends in place before labor regulations were enacted were toward workplaces becoming safer over time.

Companies absolutely do care about having safe work environments. Where workplaces are less than 100% safe is where trade-offs exist between safety and minimizing spending-outlays that favor minimizing spending outlays, and the simplistic assumption that safety always trumps minimizing spending outlays for the public interest is simply not true, because we live in a complex world where scarcity is a reality, and minimizing costs in one area can increase spending in another, more critical area.

>>so how come people are so afraid they'll get a Chinese-made toy or baby formula?

Because Amazon has introduced a new market of suppliers and consumers haven't adjusted to it with effective filtering tools, so they're reacting correctly and fearing the unknown until the assessment tooling is in place.

No. I worked in other embedded control settings, but nothing as sensitive.

I understand what you say, that the AOA sensor malfunction or misread should never cause MCAS to fail and that any such situation (misread, malfunction, excessive actuator response, etc) should have been spotted sooner, by someone among the many people involved in its design, all the way from sensor to servo, well before any passengers were carried in the aircraft but everything indicates otherwise if we assume good faith. It's very likely all flaws will be identified and corrected, but reality has a way to stress those vanishingly small probabilities.

It's not impossible that a lot of very smart people who are dedicated to think about corner cases all day long will, eventually, let something important escape. We are all human and, in the end, everything is human error.
And you must not work in tech support. But all this is irrelevant for the most part because aside from understanding WHY it's useful and important, there's the fact that most people are using web clients, and trying to, say, sign or verify a message in GMail is pretty much an unclimbable mountain for the vast majority of people.

Heck, even on desktop clients it's a pain in the ass. Ever tried to create, install, and use an S/MIME certificate in a major desktop client, like Outlook or Apple Mail? It's ridiculous. An obscure mix of trying to use the right browser, export the certificate in the right format, sometimes even convert it on the command line, use the right mail client extension, etc.

So it's the tools that are the main problem.

Until S/MIME or similar is built into major webmail clients, and certificate creation and installation is simple on the desktop, it's never going to happen.

Perfect knowledge is impossible. All information is misinformation to varying degrees.
