I also doubt that it's happening deliberately, but FWIW this is precisely the time in a campaign when a "small one time boost" might be worth it, to pull you up above the noise floor.

But I get the feeling nobody really understands campaigns well enough (especially these long, grueling ones) to justify the time spent on these small-calibre issues.
If people need certain necessities to live, the way to help them best is not to provide them a random assortment of free (subsidized) materials without consideration of the negative side effects of the subsidy, but to directly give them money.
I have this happen as well, where I'll follow someone for a certain subject they post about, but then when they post about something else I'm confused as to why I'm following this person, until I look at their full feed and remember why. I doubt, even with the option that most people who separate their posts into "categories" or circles but it would be nice.
I liked the idea of circles but G+ never really stuck for me.

One thing I think about is tagging. Arguably circles is a private configuration. If I tag someone in a picture I posted to my Family Facebook Circle, but who on their end would see it on the timeline?

I never used G+ enough to know how it handled that scenario.

My intuition wants to tell me it's tricky things like that which piled up in Facebook's mind when evaluating whether to copy them. They've copied many competitors and social media outlets especially if it fit easily.

Privacy features isn't one of their strengths.
One of the major political factions in the US has spent decades at this point deriding career politicians. It's been a decent strategy inside of that faction, but other factions point out that career politicians actually develop tools to get shit done (as any career-minded individual would). So at some point you have to combat the argument that you're running inexperienced individuals vs. experienced individuals, and advancing the argument that "business leadership actually exceeds govt leadership in getting stuff done" is an attempt to turn that weakness into a strength.

I'm being charitable that no one actually believes that garbage at it's heart, but the other explanation might be garden-variety insanity.

I had my gallbladder removed in a emergency surgery over a decade ago.

It happened on a Wednesday night. I had excruciating pain, enough to nearly black out -- and a friend took me to an emergency room, where they did an ekg, ultrasound, put me on a morphine drip and operated the next day. Once the pain set in, I was in no position to do research for a variety of reasons.

I'm not sure what kind of shopping around could have taken place for that.

Could you explain how your technique would work for something like my situation?

This has already perplexed me on this shift - on discrimination on older tech workers and woman in tech compared to now- because 40 years ago THEY were the predominant tech force. The idea of the young white-asian male being dominant in this work force is relatively new, correct? What shift happened?
But I have a benchmark to compare to. Any book that made a significant impact on me, I can remember some key points. Not everything, certainly not many of the details, but at least some key points.

Cluetrain Manifesto? I can't remember anything at all.

edit: Maybe it's like The World Is Flat? I've heard that people who read the book when it came out thought it was incredible, preposterous, and amazing. But if people read it for the first time today, they're like, "why is this so special?" Perhaps it's difficult to remember what Cluetrain was about because the world became Cluetrain? Except judging from all the comments, I'm guessing a lot of people were disappointed that it didn't. So I don't know.
Good to hear! What meetups do you attend? (serious question). I'd love to make a trip out there (I'm in DC) to find some local talent. Maybe we'll open up a satellite Houston office if this is truly the case. :-)

This suggests an interesting path of training a NN on the results of a series of standard problems, searching for the processor-version-specific timing optimizations and then feeding that result back into the code generation phase.
"Western" disease is caused by high intake of processed foods, soda, etc. It isn't the vegan diet that helps. It's removing processed food, soda, etc. You can be an omnivore or a carnivore and remove processed junk food and reduce "Western" disease. And you can be a vegan and eat a ton of processed vegan junk food and succumb to "Western" disease.

Processed foods and overeating is the true problem in the western diet.

Hey 10ko, Garden co-founder here. Thanks for the feedback!

You're right, you shouldn't have to design your project around your tools. Rather you describe the individual components of your system, really just document them in a structured manner, and let your tool manage the resulting graph.

Here's a link the Github repo in case you're interested: https://github.com/garden-io/garden. Always happy to get some feedback!

Since the article doesn't really go in detail as to why Amtrak is losing money, most of Amtrak's losses are from long routes across the US, not short distance travel.

This article from a few years ago has a breakdown by route: http://reasonrail.blogspot.com/2013/03/long-distance-trains-...

That being said, Amtrak is definitely an interesting way to travel, and the route between Denver and California on the California Zephyr is really awesome if one likes landscapes.

My understanding is that there's a final "executive review", which is almost a rubber stamp, in that only one or a few percent are nixed at this level. In the early days, supposedly it was literally Sergei and Larry. These days, I imagine it's the head of the division in question, or perhaps one of their direct underlings. Or, perhaps, (plot twist), they pump the entire thing through an ML model. :-)

One thing I've learned in my (long) career is that wealthy companies don't really need to care about how much they burn during the hiring process. (For starters, your labor is free to them at this point.) That's just the way it is.

Why would artificial interest necessarily fade as long as whoever is generating it keeps generating it?

There’s no reason to believe any internet content amplifying the message of any candidate (or president) is genuine. In fact given the findings of the past several years it’s better to assume online content is in fact generated rather than genuine.

The only reason I had heard of it was because my car has it built into the navigation system. So, I can enter a W3W coordinate and my car will appropriately route me.

It's supposedly beneficial when trying to locate a particular person. They can just send you their W3W, the car can read it off the SMS, and automatically provide routing.

I have not used the capability, but explored it when I first got the car since I had never heard of W3W.

Thanks for asking! I'm Syrus, I started the Wasmer project.

Lucet just released, but so far these are the current differences as far as I can tell:

1. Wasmer is meant to execute any WebAssembly file and run on any platform. Wasmer currently runs on Mac, Linux and Windows. Lucet only works on Linux at the moment, since its main goal is to be executed on Fastly's infra.

2. We support multiple compiler backends: dynasm, cranelift and LLVM. Each with a tradeoff between runtime speed and compilation speed (more info here https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/tree/master/lib#backends ). Lucet's architecture only supports one backend at the moment.

3. Wasmer has multiple interfaces/ABI integrations, including Emscripten, and soon WASI. Lucet initially shipped with WASI support, which is awesome.

4. Wasmer has a C/C++ API and its runtime can be integrated with other languages (C/C++, Rust and PHP at the moment)

And, of course... a link to the project if anyone else wants to take a look!

I find Mastodon's Content Warnings an interesting/useful model for mixing such content, and it's interesting the number of folks I follow that are falling into a "CW everything" philosophy for this sort of reason.

The Gov can and maybe even will go after the individual advertisers.

>That's not how one fights for equality or justice, so there must be some other goal.

It happens all the time, for example, low level drug dealers or even arms dealers are given immunity just for cooperation and just the chance to go after the suppliers. It’s easy to say well, there is some other goal, but generally the goal is to combat the illegal activity.

Another example, which I have been using for years is Uber. Many Uber drivers have been arrested and/or civilly fined for illegally operating rides for hire without a permit. Yet despite all the arrests no law enforcement ever went after the company but only the drivers. I think this is one of the biggest injustices of our time, you have a multi billion dollar tech company hiring “contractors” to knowing break the law (in those jurisdictions) and then only punishing the individuals who are basically being exploited (i say this because Uber knew the acitivity was illegal in those jurisdictions, but they kept hiring drivers and scheduling rides in violation of the law, whereas the drivers didn’t necessarily know they were being hired to provide illegal rides). In some cases Uber even paid bonuses to drivers to leave jurisdictions where operations were legal to give rides in jurisdictions where it was illegal.

Is that really equality and justice to you? If law enforcement went after uber instead of the driver is that really indiciative by itself of another goal rather than stopping the illegal activity?

Hey, I'm pretty sure the parent poster was referring to Google+, not the site you wrote on.
Back in the day you you didn't have to pay if you ran a Google Ads campaign. There was no minimum spend. If you ran a monthly AdWords campaign for $1/mo you got free GA no matter what your traffic level was.

The main catch is that GA goes to "sampling mode" once your traffic gets high enough, and I think you have to pay extra to get full datasets.

Pick one day a week, doesn't matter which one, finish early and plan an activity you enjoy.

Hell or high water stick to that activity on that day.

You'll naturally start to look forwards to that day.

Then make it two days and so on.

Don't try to make massive changes, make little ones that become habits.

As someone who went from working 70 hours a week (or more technically in hindsight sitting behind a computer for 70 hours and working for maybe 30 of those productively to working 37 hrs a week with about the same level of productivity) it matters.

I'm warming up to the idea of deep-diving into personal stuff for presidential candidates. The President is effectively above so many laws. It doesn't make sense to claim privacy like a normal citizen when choosing to run for the most powerful office in the land.
When I started my new blog back in 2010 https://jeena.net/drawing-contest I had the content aligned left and on the right I had a canvas where everybody was able to draw on. In the start it would only be visible by you but later I saved the canvas and showed it to everyone visiting the website, so people could add stuff and I would wipe it clean every now and then.
Interesting, I had always been told it was pollution... I used to live next to a river and we always had tons of frogs. Then after a few years, almost all of them disappeared. I heard people claim pollution, but we were still getting our drinking water from the same source, so I had my doubts.

This makes way more sense and I'm surprised I had no idea.

>any Democratic leader would be waaay more forward looking, less out of touch etc etc etc...

That's the issue with "would" though, it's an election, and people are not automatons. No one's going to go out and vote for the "best person for the job" like some 100% logic driven computer program. That's not really how elections work. People vote for a lot of reasons. (In fact, it's also the case that people don't vote for a lot of reasons.)

So it's easily possible for people to vote against the long term interests of the US. Lots of people do, all the time.
> I feel like today 40 is more the exception than the rule.

Is it though? Most people aren't you and I. Most are working hourly jobs and their employers are not paying out overtime.

My only meaningful point is that a shorter work week would likely only benefit those among us who are already better off (in terms of compensation.) I don't see how it helps my friend working at the Chrysler plant.

The added value here seems to be the curated, per-language word list. You'd have to be careful with homophones, they say that they use simpler, more common words for populated locations (and locations where the target language is more used) etc...

After playing a bit with their interface I can't really tell if they're successful but it does seem like it would be relatively complicated to come up with such a word list in many languages. That being said, it could probably be crowdsourced.
Not that this makes it a non-problem, but I recall that endothermic species are relatively fungus-resistant given that most fungi prefer cooler temperatures.

I'm wondering if any epidemiologists could weigh in wrt the risk of spread to humans or other animals.
I see the distinction but I am following Chomsky, that they're aspects of the same thing; language is a faculty in a specific, recently evolved neurological structure. That's a bold theory, but it seems to have held up better than approaches where language is an ability learned through a general cognitive intelligence mechanism. Chomsky says in that lecture that it's separate (and compact and recent) and somehow coupled to the general intelligence and performative areas located elsewhere.

I think we're at a point with language and its neural mechanism where by analogy it looks like the phenomenon of flight being closely determined by the exact form and use of a wing. Almost any shape will not do, so there is a form closely (efficiently) following function. Of course there were preadaptations for both which provide very inefficient flight or communication abilities, but something flips and the adaptive utility of the function rapidly sculpts and elaborates the form in that direction.

About optimality, generally agree though I think following thermodynamic efficiency seems a deep inductive step as that allows measure of what is arbitrary or not, e.g. in the work of England that I cited.
They seem to have lost sight on a big part of what made them attractive to begin with.
>Natural languages are not designed, they evolve.

But that's part of my point. I don't say irregular verbs were designed to be effective that way, but that they were evolved to be effective.

Hence the link with "language acquisition" being involved -- when regular and irregular verbs developed that wasn't a known theory some "language designer" could consciously follow. Just something innate that could develop because of a evolutionary advantage.

In fact, if someone merely designed, they'd probably go for all regular, rather than regular + irregular, as it's "cleaner".

>I often see people trying to rationalize some language features (such as arbitrary genders of nouns in many languages) as error correction or some "optimization" but I'm generally unconvinced.

Tons of language features are indeed optimizations for different things. Cold climates for example have languages with less vowels (keeping your mouth closed more).
I've been following how Buttigieg's rise has been manufactured by 1-2 insiders. Mainly David Axelrod.

He did a SXSW town hall. I watched Tulsi Gabbard (disclosure, I volunteer for her a bit) first and then tried to watch Mayor Pete, as he is called.

He basically bombed the first 20 min. The period that any viewers would try to give the candidate any chance to better understand them.

He was just a bit too nervous, he was talking fast. This was a big contrast to methodical way Tulsi was speaking just prior to him her ability to connect was in a different level.

So you thought that would be the end of it all....

Nope! I observed a beautiful spin of manufacturing narratives.

Axelrod tweeted about how great Mayor Pete's performance was [1]

Soon after there was a ton of articles talking about much lauded performance of Buttigieg. I even called out the journalist behind one of these articles on twitter and it was clear she had not watched the town hall nor had done her research [2] I just went to find that discussion on twitter and she seem to have deleted as I do not see it under my tweet and replies.

Essentially I asked her about the "much lauded performance" in her article. I asked her where she got that from. She replied with a link to a CNN article which was all based on Axelrod's tweet. This journalist based her article on that CNN article. So I pointed out, this "much lauded performance" is based on just one tweet. The journalist then replied to me, I should just google "town hall and Buttigieg". Meaning she had no done any research herself. Point is, Pete Buttigieg who started his promotion from a podcast on Axelrod. I think there is a strong chance Mayor Pete is backed by Axelrod and/or at some point he'll hire Axelrod. Mayor Pete's rise bubbling up based on the inside influence of one person.

That being said, he is intelligent and I'm sure there is probably great excitement supporting the first gay (at least openly) candidate. However, it became clear to me, how a few insiders can create hype around one candidate and manufacture "lauded performance".

Want a dozen + 1?

As a friend, I setup a precision workstation for a small business owner. Part of this setup was a hardware raid 1 array. (He wanted a fast machine that was very reliable. His money, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯).

He took it to the Geek Squad to have a printer setup on it. These idiots destroyed the raid array while doing idk what complimentary scan or wtf ever. The friend had also stopped using the dropbox drive and used the regular user's folders to save stuff.

This did not end well. It was judged to be my fault for using poor quality hardware and software. He bought a gaming desktop from Best Buy. I learned a lesson.
