Is your model trained globally, or does it learn individual users' styles?

I could imagine that globally the most common replies are three forms of "yes" but for any individual user the most common replies are two forms of "yes" and one "no", simply because there's less diversity in one user's replies than in the entire population.

You are not alone. I am right there with you. Left my previous role because of many reasons, one being the lack of eq from senior leadership all the way down to the keyboard clackers around me. My new company is better. EQ is definitely something that we culturally care about. Sadly, as we have grown from 5 engineers to 30 engineers the cultural pillar of eq>iq has become forced and cliche. Teammates are getting praised for simply showing up and doing their job. Ladder climbers are simply praising each other during our all hands for ladder climbing behavior. Kudos are given to the wrong people. It’s a tough line to toe. It does sound like you should switch jobs as I am happier with my new problem set compared with the problem set I was grappling with before. Working at places you dislike is important as it helps you figure out what you need from a company. You should take your new found learning and apply for a company that has marked eq>iq on that culture match site :)
I, too learned how to Linux with Gentoo ~20 years ago, and while that semi-from-scratch approach still appeals to me, Arch 2019 is not Gentoo 2002.

I find myself doing an Arch install once a year or so, and I'd say it takes about 20 minutes to get to my prefered desktop from completely un-initialized hardware - I remember Gentoo taking days!
> I believe you cannot simply run Linux any laptop. You have to buy a laptop specifically for Linux.

No you don't. Ive had debian on a lenovo laptop for five years with none of the issues you speak of. Printing and scanning work great (dell and brother printers). It boots fine after a hard power off. No update has ever fubard anything. I have no more trouble hooking up to a projector than anybody else (my boss has a mac and complains about hooking up to projectors).

I've also run linux without issue on prior laptops from toshiba, acer and sony and some off brand thing from 10 years ago. I have a brother who runs linux on a dell laptop just fine (and has for years). A co-worker runs linux on a newish sony laptop. I guess I'm just living in the perfect intersection of hardware that just magically always works with linux. Or maybe, linux just works.

Their power and privilege was based on and justified by the ideology, is what GP said.
Just because Russia and China do it, doesn’t mean certain large religions also don’t, so I don’t see how it’s distortion. Islam/Christianity/Judaism in particular are notorious for giving reason to many who are against civil rights for women and non heterosexuals.
I can't even figure out what author thinks is wrong with the feature.

The post is mainly about services that push users into accepting things (like data sharing or microphone access), but the only example raised is your "suggested replies" feature, which has no apparent connection to what the post criticizes.
Regardless of the demo, I’m just so amused how fluently it works. Then you add the demo. Wow. (Insert mind blown gif here)
Facebook deemphasizing clickbait content reliably hurts their metrics. YouTube deemphasizing extremist videos reliably hurts their metrics. This metrics-driven product development was totally understandable (and I even tried to do it) up until a few years ago when we simply got too good at it and it ripped the world apart precisely along the seams where the human brain has bugs that cause these things to increase metrics.

Email prefill replies are a silly and relatively harmless example to make this case, but the point is every last button on every product we use is caked in this and we're realizing too late that metrics identifying what humans want often does not coincide with what humans want being good.

People may not say no as often, but one no can be very powerful. It's harder to say no. Billions of people nudged towards saying yes is not nothing.

Traditional financial regulation and compliance is a joke and mostly security theatre from the perspective of a security engineer or cryptographers.

- credit cards with secrets printed and shared in plain sight

- hacked banks

- hacked atms

It only works because most involved are somewhat trustworthy and the damages are small enough that it’s still worth to have the system.

But the latter also seems to be true for crypto. It shifts the responsibility further to the user. Some like it because they assume they can provide better opsec than their bank (which was easy in the past). Others don’t like to take responsibility and leave it with some exchange, which in some cases even lack behind banks.
It's interesting to think about this in terms of UBI (universal basic income). This test is the opposite in some ways since it's providing the utility as the motivation rather than the income directly. The premise of UBI is that the income is provided such that the individuals would aim to benefit society on their own terms and find utility that way.

Well, full text search is really power hungry. Once you have few gigs of email, your phone's local full text engine is going to get too slow. This is a good reason to keep email on the remote server.

That said, your personal communication will be stored on the servers encrypted if you use encrypted chat like Whatsapp or Telegram.

I am not sure why you had to use cloud server when sending files over LAN. I've uploaded videos directly to iOS over ftp server, and Android has tons of apps to sync data back and forth, all locally.

I am not sure why your TODO list needs a central server -- Simplenote does not require login, and it totally happy to keep everything locally. There are integrated note apps as well.

So to summarize: everything is there already. But people prefer to choose a simple solution and use cloud-based service, instead of doing a little bit of work and creating "machines which can function as islands"

I don't know about Canada but in most countries with socialized health care you can always opt in for private care, on a case by case basis, at very reasonable prices (since private care has to compete with public care).
Ok fair enough. What is it about China that makes it explicitly not capitalist?

Since it's absolutely not communism, what makes it absolutely not a capitalist economy?
Seems like crazy click-bait to me. Yes, the competition in streaming is heating up, but in reality most people are likely to pick and choose a few services, not just one. Cable packages have been running $50+ per month for a while now, with millions of customers. Cord-cutting down to Netflix + Prime + Disney is still cheaper, and it’s getting closer to the system I think most people wanted all along, which was the ability to pick and choose your own bundle of just the channels you want.

What has really changed is linear TV (aka traditional channels) is going away in favor of on-demand. People care about live sports, and to some extent live news. Other than that, on-demand is better.

So instead of the future being what we might have imagined 10 years ago, building a bundle of just the channels you want, instead will be building a bundle of just the distributors you want — ie. Disney originals vs Netflix vs Prime etc. I expect we will see more and more content signing exclusive deals with these aggregators as a result, and we probably also see a few more big brands throw their hat in the ring.

I agree and good point on the broader meaning of editorial judgement. If we had seen any negative impact such as the FB/YouTube examples we would absolutely take that into account.

What I want, and what I think GDB really needs for people to use its Python API's more frequently, is a way to easily manage, share, install, and collaborate with other people's .gdbinit and GDB Python scripts.

I've written a number of these at my previous companies, which all get loaded by default when any developer was debugging (basically wrapping gdb in a 'make gdb' style call). That works for internal development at a company where everyone is using the same flow, but that's nearly impossible in the real world as every one has a different setup.

I'm assuming numerous companies have written a Linked List GDB Printer (such as https://github.com/chrisc11/debug-tips/blob/master/gdb/pytho...) or a script that prints useful information from the global variables particular to the RTOS running. These are all great, but they are a pain to install.

Is there really no better way to share these across the Internet other than "Copy / Paste this text into your .gdbinit"? I'm thinking it would be possible and relatively painless to share these scripts through PyPi, require them, and load them like a normal package, but I haven't seen this approach taken.
Hehehehe I love it! Thank you much. I was being a bit rousing/ambiguous as your commentary caught my attention and was a bit excited when I checked out your background.
And the worst is that despite this positive experience I will do the same next time. There is no learning.
Git records the committer as well as the author, so even though a simple 'git log' shows only the author (which you can set with 'git commit --author', which is very useful when you want to apply an external patch from somebody), you can show both the committer and the author with e.g. git log --format <something>. As you probably know, but in any case, many companies, and a number of open source projects do require signed commits.
You can also set the date of the commit, so the person who wanted his commits to be at 09:00 - just do 'git commit --date="2019-05-22 09:00:00". Of course git logs both the commit date and the author date, internally.
I'm not sure you would need to get rid of prop 13. An alternative might be a state law that gives workers who work more than, say 20 hours a week in a city the right to vote in that city's elections. That way the commuters, who tend to be more numerous and poorer than those who manage to rent in the area would form a voting bloc that might be sufficient to offset the (natural) self interest of the city's home owners, who often want to restrict supply of new housing or transport.
They can, temporarily. They can’t revert perminantly, however, which is a dealbreaker to me ever using Snaps.
Pretty sure Gmail is a product not a life giving service, they still do tend to optimise for people continuing to use their service. The societal effects of X technology seems to be the new scare tactic buzzword. It's an automated email response used for emails that don't merit an actual response, the slippery slope fallacy doesn't apply here.

I'd apply that instead to their language autocomplete feature(the grayed out text that appears when you start typing and that you can just press tab to insert into your email) which is scary in the way it tries to shepherd your language
Your willingness to use "we're optimizing for click through rate" as a defense is quite frightening to me, though.

Someone who thinks "We're optimizing for click through rate" is morally neutral is not qualified to be making these decisions, just as someone who thinks giving lit matches to children is morally neutral is not qualified to be a fire marshal.

I can't believe how many people are attacking the author here. He has had to deal with things that nobody should have to, and the couple he uninvited are clearly unhinged and he made a good decision uninviting them.

My sympathies go out to him, and I hope he get support in this, and it doesn't suck up their will to do good things for the community like organise conferences.
If only one of the streaming giants would sign some kind of deal with some of the TV networks (or some of the distributors) so that I could get my fix of news and sports from them. If they had e.g. the big BBC/CNN news casts live I'd happily pay Netflix a lot extra for that.
Unfortunately my hospice volunteering sent me further into depression, perhaps even an existential crisis. I knew the impact of hospice and that was enough reason to put myself in the situation where maybe I could help.

The patient I was working with had a stroke. He was paralyzed, completely bedridden, and unable to speak. Despite his ailments, he was able to hear & see properly and thus able to understand me. I would read him books and magazines. Deep down I knew he understood & enjoyed it but the lack of feedback of any kind was frustrating despite knowing his situation was far worse.

After months of volunteering, the following day I go in and his bed is empty. As I left, my soul felt emptier than that bed. Is this what my future could entail? Those types of thoughts ate away at me. It was bad enough for me to consider them but far worse to view my own thoughts void of morality and so focused on my self.

I wish I could tell myself I'm in a better position today. For today at least, I'll try.

I don't disagree, but... when Bitcoin came out I ignored it because of the long history of digital cash schemes that had failed. I assumed the same forces would give it the same fate.

If decentralized money can finally find some traction, maybe so can other kinds of networks. Maybe the financial incentives are a part of the context that could change.
I definitely feel it like an addiction, and I often try to describe it like a drug. I build up this anxiety for a task, in small increments throughout the day. Then, finally, mercifully, at some point, my brain finds a way out. I find something easy to replace the thing I was worried about, or I find a somewhat valid justification for why I can do it tomorrow, and the anxiety just vanishes and I get this hit of dopamine that feels a tiny bit like weed, honestly.

I take this as one more piece of evidence that thinking in terms of rates and metrics make you blind to the user experience.
True, however inflation works the same way, and is a much bigger and persistent threat to the poor than sales tax or VAT; inflation compounds over time whereas sales taxes do not.

Inflation is basically an unvoted regressive tax on the poor that increases every year.

I read GP as saying they watched the system's behavior and decided that going by click rates gave the best results. I'd say that is the editorial judgment, in the sense that you're talking about.

If they just set things up to go by click rates and assumed that whatever results occurred must necessarily be preferable, then that would be disclaiming responsibility in the way you describe, but GP's version doesn't sound like that.
