Agreed - For example in SQLAlchemy, you have:

1) Super high level - my_record_object.filter(whatever)

2) Common query api: my_table_object.select.where(whatever).limit(whatever) etc etc

3) Straight up SQL execution: db_engine_object.connection.execute(Sql query as string)

There are tools to safely interpolate arguments into SQL query templates for use in #3 too. What else could you want in the vast majority of applications?
That’s a false statistic. The employment rate is 4% below what it was in 2000 and has barely recovered from the recession. https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/employment-rate

Unemployment rate is useful in the short term, but it’s not comparable across longer time periods as they kick people off the lists very quickly.

Local governments give tax breaks to entice movies to be filmed in certain places instead of in other places. Presumably they get their money's worth in terms of local economic activity and tourism. That doesn't give them any claim to the resulting movies. (Governments also use tax breaks to entice major employers like Amazon to locate in one jurisdiction versus the other. Nobody would equate those tax breaks with the government somehow helping Amazon run its service.)
Media with an ad-based business model inherently incentives maximizing engagement in both time and intensity. The time incentive leads to addiction. The intensity incentive leads to promoting hyperbolic content. (The latter almost always leads to divisive, angry content.)
Breaking that incentive structure is tough. It would mean substantially re-building the company(ies), perhaps down to its business model, corporate organization and management.

Fixed a couple typos.

To be literal though, I agree with your point but I find a massive irony in News having the same inherent flaws as social media while also leading the charge against Facebook etc. It's all rotten.
The entire town is deciding to hang out in this walled garden. If I want to go to the effective town square, currently it resides within facebook's walled garden.

Personally, I just don't go, and so I miss out on the benefit I would get, but that is the price to pay at the moment.

I think the separation between public and private interest may be more blurred thank you think. In an indirect ways, studios were able to spend money paying people to make those movies because the government provides a safe geographical space for that to happen. There's a reason you typically don't see many movies (certainly not entertainment movies) produced in countries ridden by war, for example. So a strong armed forces, internal police, a predictable legal system, etc., all of that is typically provided by a government and allows business, including movie studios, to run.

On a more direct way, I remember watching VHS movies as a kid in the 80s and there was an FBI piracy warning near the start of all tapes, so the studios do leverage the government to protect their business (and I don't have a problem with that in principle, if perhaps I disagree a bit with the extent of the protections).

> You can't really schedule 100% load better

Sure you can. You can do math while another HT is waiting for memory. Sometimes you can even multiplex use of multiple ALUs or one HT can do integer and another can do floating point.

It's actually under high multithreaded load that HT shines, especially if that load is heterogenous or memory latency bound.
> It's the difference between doing something to a file, and doing something with a file.

I fail to see a difference, I especially fail to see why, of all things, rename would be the default action on hitting the enter key.

Regardless, you're missing the key point: which action is done more frequently? Which deserves a single button?

> If all you've ever used is Windows and desktop environments that mimic Windows to make life easier for people coming from Windows, then you might have a narrow definition of "universal." But I've used dozens of platforms over the last 40 years, and can confidently state that there is no universal method.

Look at all modern file managers

- Windows Explorer
- Nautilus
- Thunar
- Dolphin
- Directory Opus
- Total Commander

What's the default action when you tap a file in your file manager on your mobile device? To open it. The easiest action to get to should be the most useful.

No one is just "mimicking Windows" here, they're doing the only thing that makes sense: to make frequent user actions readily available to the user. I get the impression some people seem to think this is good just because it's different.

Yeah, we wound up using both because it’s easy for analysts to use Looker but data devs prefer Periscope for whipping up a graph.

> The most creative people are high in trait openness, and are conflict avoiders.

I assume that you're talking about the big five personality traits, right? I thought conflict avoidance is determined by the trait agreeableness and all the big five traits are independent of each other? So it's possible to have a agreeable/conflict-avoidant creative person as well as a disagreeable/conflict-engaging creative person? Your comment makes it seem that when talking about people high in trait openness, the more agreeable are more creative than the less agreeable? Do you have more information about this, as I would gladly like to fill any holes in my (rudimentary) understanding of personality traits?

I'm glad to see someone so dedicated to publish an accessibility-first UI kit! I've reviewed the accessibility for 21 different UI libraries [1] and only one was fully accessible (according to my criteria). I'd like to add your library to my list, however, the color contrast of your button component is not sufficient (3.98 - it should be 4.5 for AA).

Another small issue I've found: the "npm install reakit" textarea is focusable but doesn't have a focus ring (your code examples all do). It's not as important, as this only affects your documentation page, but I'd either add a focus ring or disable the focus altogether (as the field is not editable).

Sapir-Whorf may run even deeper; Simler's book [0] argues persuasively that social signaling is the primary motivator not only of language, but of cognition itself. So perhaps Sapir-Whorf puts the cart before the horse: we actually think in networks, based on our predictions of what will be socially tractable, and the language/vocabulary is merely an evolving toolkit to that end (with occasional innovation of a viral metaphor/portmanteau/etc).

A lot of people, especially older people and people without a lot of spare cash, simply don't have photo ID. If you're homeless, getting all the documentation needed to get a license is a severe impediment.

Yup agree. That and also understanding why you want A more than B which usually leads to understand why B doesn't give you those same things. At some point there is a balance of how much risk you are willing to put to get what you want.

To give ballpark numbers: modern Intel processors can retire a few instructions per cycle in tight loops (4 is the theoretical maximum; > 2 is realistic in a lot of high-performance code). A branch misprediction wastes 10-15 cycles.

So getting rid of speculation entirely, and stalling on every branch, would waste time equivalent to dozens of instructions. On typical code that has a branch every few instructions, this could slow down execution by several times.

Moreover, all these positive outcomes you seem to dismiss (and add that in the long term money doesn’t buy happiness- which is neither here nor there) doesn't mean that any of this is NOT good public policy, that it would NOT be better or that it would NOT improve long-term outcomes.

If anything, all the outcomes: lower stress, greater happiness, etc, are all known to lead to healthier individuals, with more fulfilling lives, with plenty of potential benefits for society as a whole.

Moreover, trialing UBI is a red herring. How many welfare programs have been trialed before implementation? How many have been researched thoroughly on their per dollar outcome? The fact is, many of these programs are implemented without any trial and only on the basis of perceived outcomes that would lean positive. Why should UBI be any different?

There are also plenty of examples that show that direct cash is oftentimes more favourable than some other variant; see the charity GiveDirectly’s entire premise.

To argue that no successful trial has been run, that outcomes have not been favourable, or that the general idea of UBI is flawed until we research it to death, is to be overtly skeptical.

Nice. I wonder if this something like this could be applied to code, to easier get a overview of how classes and functions relate to each other.
Maybe it should be safer, but just because Tesla or a Tesla fan site says so does not mean that it is. Given Elon's rather strained relationship with truth it might even mean quite the opposite.

Really, looking at the official testing spreadsheet you've linked in your previous comment, TM3 certainly does not look like a safest car on the road. Not terrible, but will pulverize your femurs just fine, and does not get scores significantly higher than much cheaper cars.

Avoiding an accident is, indeed, better. But here Tesla's harping on their "Autopilot" does not come out as good either. There were links posted here from IIHS showing that Tesla on Autopilot does not fare particularly well. Of the 9 models with 0 highway deaths (and those are not some exotic cars of which there just are very few, some are your typical soccer mom minivans) none was a Tesla. [0] does not look very good either.

I am also not aware of any other driver assistance system that actively tries to kill you in not particularly challenging circumstances. Now, I am not going to say that it is necessarily Tesla's technical fault that somne of their customers are... let's say not particularly astute and believe that "Autopilot" will actually autopilot them down the road, but at least their marketing claims are outright evil.

If the screen works for you, great, but I am afraid it is the case where it only works for you until the unfortunate moment when you keep looking at it adjusting A/C while the car accelerates into the nearest fire truck.

I can, and it's an 8 years old car (it also doesn't have uneven gaps or rattles, but let's ignore that for now). Sure, nice of them to have kept blinkers in the standard position (I wonder if they would have been even allowed on the road otherwise) but that's not exactly a glowing praise...

Typically not one for conspiracy, but I wonder if to some degree these kinds of things are intended to get US customers to buy US products and/or get companies to move their offshore facilities to the US. Kaspersky being hand-in-hand with Russia and <insert vendor here> with China and things like it seem pretty run of the mill in recent years.

I imagine it is nestled in some degree of truth, grant you, but I wonder if the goal is to force sentiment so heavily that vendors are essentially forced to go stateside. As in, did China suddenly want to exert state control over manufacturing done in China? Russia suddenly want data from Kaspersky?
The problem with this is that his book is at this point well known, but at the same time his book made less (but still productive) work more socially accepted, so it's better to just go the honest way.

> Currently Tesla just replaces the entire media unit when this happens, which is extremely expensive for them. In reality they only need to replace a tiny part instead of tossing entire boards.

Do you know that they toss the old media units? Are you sure they don't swap the entire media unit to simplify service procedures, and have have the old units inspected and refurbished (i.e. eMMC module replaced) for future repairs?

That sounds way more efficient than training all of the shop workers to diagnose and swap out individual parts of the media unit.
I'm not trying to be overly mean here, but your comment reads like someone making a political comedy skit entitled "The World's Most Naiive Man Goes For a Bike Ride".
> This is more like Meltdown in that it involves one context just outright accessing data in a completely different context, and AMD chips seem to be totally immune from that attack.

No, AMD has been largely immune to bugs involving speculating past a page fault. Both Meltdown and L1TF involved speculating past page faults, and the ZombieLoad paper also mentions exploiting bad behavior during page faults (but, disclaimer, I haven't read in enough detail yet).

AMD was not immune to, for example, spectre variant 2, which very much did allow reading from other address spaces (even other VMs): https://www.amd.com/en/corporate/security-updates

My father in law was a linesman for AT&T, then the various Bell companies then Verizon for 30 years. He started when he was 21 and retired when he was 51 about 15 years ago.

He regularly brags how the union would set hour allotments for each job and how he could complete work in 30 minutes that the union required scheduling for 5 hours. Most of the time he spent on the clock involved him hiding his work truck in the woods behind his house and sneaking into his house to work on home improvements while he was being paid.

Every once in a while he would get caught doing something wrong and would be suspended. The union would then represent him and provide him groceries and other items during the suspension. Eventually Verizon paid him a lump sum of a quarter million dollars to go away which along with saving money from decades of generous overtime rules including double time and a half on holidays let him retire at the age of 51.

I only chose college because the pressure from my family was such that I had only two "valid" choices:

1. Go to college

2. Enlist in the military

I would have preferred to have gone to a decent trade school and learned a skilled trade whose practitioners had a strong trade union to look out for their interests.

Instead, I became a developer. Glad to see kids today are learning from my mistakes and not selling themselves into indentured servitude by going to college.
