Wow, so they're basically pretending to be marketers, as a marketing move to market themselves to marketers, in hopes of becoming marketers?

If there's a point on the spectrum that's more "meta" and further away from the idea of "connecting & sharing with friends" I don't know what it is. Maybe it would be whoever's out there marketing themselves as fake followers to help would-be marketers market themselves to marketers? Or marketing themselves as marketing coaches to help would-be marketers market to marketers? You know they're probably out there.

"Of course it can be less than the cost of the test." includes non-monetary costs. I thought this was clear since the benefit we're talking about is obviously not wholly monetary. (Or even mostly.)
Could he, though? In most of the surveys I’ve seen, all options are only supported by a minority, including stopping it. Only a few surveys report that any particular outcome has >50% support, and most of those only just.
Your culture was completely robbed from you before you were born. What stories do you love? What music fills your head? What great deeds of the past inspire you? Are you allowed to share ANY of that freely?
Cool that you're out here deciding who is and isn't "dead weight."
And my life is dependent on exponential consumption and destruction, and I have no agency to stop that. Pretty glad I can order pizza with my watch though! Cavemen would be green with envy at that.
> All the big companies are doing immutable, append-only event logging and probably have no mechanism to expunge this data. All because storage is cheap and they need to hold on to everything for testing or whatever future need that might arise.

This is not true at all. Here's a recent HN discussion that talks about how Google handles this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19809259

(Disclosure: I work for Google, but I'm speaking for myself)
Right, in theory that's what we've always been told about how it works, but that is not what is actually happening. There has been almost zero correlation between unemployment and wage pressure for 20+ years now. In all industries, yes even tech.

It's just not working. Unless you're a director or exec, then your wages are skyrocketing. Everyone else is flat or declining.

A big problem with data is not the company itself using it, but other ways it can come back to bite you.

E.g. a sexual photo retrieved from a private social media album is no threat to your reputation when it’s been assumed into some machine learning model for detecting sexual photos, but it’s certainly a threat if a future data leak allows your enemies to get the actual .PNG or .JPG and send it to the news media or your loved ones. Knowing that the photo can actually be deleted is valuable in this case and I’m sure there are many other similar ones that could be listed.
Holy heck it does. Just tried five fingers and it worked flawlessly.
I cook nearly every day. I have an open floor plan. My house does not smell like a restaurant. You just have to use a vent when things smoke and, you know, clean.
A fun artifact of deleting your facebook account is that all of your comments get deleted (hidden, I guess, is more accurate) too, which means that in old threads people who interacted with you now appear to be interacting with themselves.

My friend had a profile picture in which he was doing something silly with his eyebrows. I commented "Nice eyebrows" and he replied "You're just jealous." I've since deleted my account and now there is only one comment on this profile picture, by the person the picture is of, reading "You're just jealous."
The trick, of course, is that very few people have the ability to pass a Google interview. So it isn't just a lot of money available to anyone who wants it. It's a lot of money available to the few who are talented enough.
> Can you name another time in recent history where the end of the world wasn't near? WW1, Great Depression, WW2, Mutually Assured Destruction, Swine flu, AIDS, Cuban missile crisis, etc, etc.

The key difference is that, with the possible exception of MAD and the Cold War, during all of those crises people were in near-universal agreement that there was a crisis, and were actively working to fix it. Climate change is a unique problem in that a depressingly large percentage of the population believes it is a myth, that there is nothing wrong and no need to do anything.

That's where the despair is coming from. If everyone understood the seriousness of the problem and was determined to fix it, I have no doubt we could do it. We've solved bigger problems in the past. But right now we're not even trying. Even the progress that has been made has mostly been an accidental byproduct of market forces like renewables getting cheaper; the actual amount of deliberate effort to fix climate change is close to zero and seems likely to remain that way.
The HTTP2 spec actually allows it:

Connections that are made to an origin server, either directly or through a tunnel created using the CONNECT method (Section 8.3), MAY be reused for requests with multiple different URI authority components. A connection can be reused as long as the origin server is authoritative (Section 10.1).

For https resources, connection reuse additionally depends on having a certificate that is valid for the host in the URI. The certificate presented by the server MUST satisfy any checks that the client would perform when forming a new TLS connection for the host in the URI.

There is a way to respond with an error code when a server receives a request for the wrong domain, but it seems like a bad idea to depend on it (because it means lots of failed requests that could be avoided with better certificate management):

A server that does not wish clients to reuse connections can indicate that it is not authoritative for a request by sending a 421 (Misdirected Request) status code in response to the request (see Section 9.1.2).

I think it’s very often not adaptive. Eg some parents are very confident in their ability to conduct medical research in their spare time, and the result is measles outbreaks.
To be clear, I'm not saying it's VC's job to create a solution of that scale. My position was that it's a weak position to wash one's hand of any responsibility because their stance is that they have a singularly focused job.

I would hope, for instance, that Boeing software engineers wouldn't take the stance that their job is to code to requirements and the safety engineers job to make sure the requirements are safe. I would hope everyone has the onus to look at the greater landscape for the impacts of their decisions rather than using a myopic view to skirt responsibility because it's convenient or easy.

Perhaps high school - and high school related activities - have become more time consuming. Likewise, if San Francisco parents are on average more wealthy than in the past, their children would be less incentivized to work for minimum wage and more incentivized to compete academically (or in related capacities) for fewer, but more fruitful, future opportunities.
It's honestly not that there are issues, as you have mentioned, there have always been. In fact we're a lot better off on almost all fronts than hundreds of years ago.

It's that we aren't making any progress, and generally are moving the wrong way.

There will never be a lack of issues to tackle. It's "how" we tackle them that defines our era. And as far as I've seen, we do a lot more arguing and debating about what we're talking about than we do fixing problems in the real world, myself included.
It's considered a better practice to explicitly wait for an element on a page before acting. How to do it is documented for the Python bindings here: https://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/waits.html

If the bar is that I'm no longer a peasant, that's a pretty low fucking bar.
I mean, that's fine and all, but you should probably just admit that you value the luxury of living in an extremely expensive area with lots of urban amenities. There's nothing wrong with it, but phrasing it like you simply can't live anywhere except these two particular metro lines comes off as really out of touch.

Urban liberals' lifestyle is a luxury consumption choice the same way that a Rolex or a Masarti is.
If your housing market is that messed up, then your rental market is probably even worse. Not being wasteful just because it is easier than being responsible is the entire point of my original comment. Spending money on things you can "afford" that make you happy now instead of saving for things that you need and will give you a sustainable life is short sighted.
Great idea! I love me some newsletter too, so this should be pretty handy.

Minor nitpick: There's a type in the /about page:

> I want to change the time I recieve (->receive) my drop
The free market does that. People who can't generate more revenue than they cost are dead weight in a capitalistic system. It's not common to say that, but the US certainly works that way.
This is all very reasonable, but assumes that avoiding catastrophic failure is the most profitable course of action.
Who is competent enough to review code? The governments? The crappy companies who the government would inevitably out source it to?
I think there are perverse incentives at work, too. If running the MRI machine cost $100, people would do it. If it can bill insurance $100k, and then any follow up might cost $500k, there is a rational aversion to doing it as it might make the _system_ less good for everyone if insurance cracked down on exploratory imaging as a billable thing (obviously, they already do this to some extent).

Better technology is unlikely to be cheaper, unless it is so new and novel that it can get its own unique billing codes, and if it becomes ubiquitous so it cheaper and more available than existing machines which are not yet depreciated.

Just typing that out depresses me.
Surely people were saying that during the Pax Romana too and it was true... until it wasn't.
That's not a finger.

Allow me to restate:

"Look how long Servo, one of the few examples of a mostly-from scratch browser engine that we can look to and thus compare (although technically some components of Servo are borrowed from Gecko so even it is not fully a from-scratch effort), is taking to write."

The point was to find any comparable effort to demonstrate what an undertaking this is. Servo was started 7 years ago by one of the few companies with engine expertise. Although, granted, I agree that perhaps framing it as a rewrite might lead you to believe more effort is being placed there than actually is (although I don't think it's totally unfair to look at it that way given their original embedding goals).

I maintain systems with and without. I thought I understood systemd, but I've given up trying to predict the behavior of systems running systemd.

The tragedy for me, is that I don't really like how the Init systems work, either. So there's really no one on my side. I seem to always fall into the trap of the Dreaded Centrist.
I don't like either of these analogies. Work of SE is much more complicated. I guess a developer who just mashes things together on the front end is kind of like a plumber.

However, if you work with the backend, you need to worry about data access, any concurrency issues, performance problems. Generally tradesman follow relatively simple guidelines, which may change at a slower pace....tech on the other hand changes insanely quickly.
The "hoax" is a tempting hypothesis. There were many suckers who would have paid big bucks for a mysterious manuscript.

Inflation?

Afaik, new constructions have to comply with more regulation (noise insulation, materials, environment protection etc) than before, which makes them more expensive. At least where I live.

Honestly, most managers are not constantly evaluating their team. They have other work to do. I think employees tend to believe that the only thing on their managers mind is them when in reality it's the furthest thing from their mind.
I love how we're all just using this invented marketing term "influencer" as if it's actually a real thing (it is not a real thing).

It is slightly less obnoxious than just calling it "first class" vs. "commoners" instagram, but still pretty obnoxious nonetheless.
Some of the baseline assumptions and conclusions are off in my opinion.

Specifically, it was never addressed if individuals had an inflated view of their own skills or their ability to complete a given task.

Regardless of an individuals skill in reference to a given task (listed as average among high-class individuals post testing), due to their wealth, high-class individuals absolutely have a greater ability to accomplish any given task as they have demonstrably greater social access and a larger pool of resources to throw at any given problem.

Confidence is not a flat gauge of raw ability but also availability of resources to accomplish a given task.

Using the "Parks and Rec" example, Bobby Newport utilizes his wealth to hire Jennifer Barkley, an elite political campaign manager.

The model is probably based off of your watch history before you deleted everything. There would be no way (theoretically) for anyone to see your watch history but YouTube still thinks those old videos are ones that you'd be interested in and fortunately you haven't watched them yet (as far as the algorithm is concerned) so it's recommending them to you again.

(note: everything I'm about to say is just my take on early CS stuff, I don't know Dijkstra or how he thought, these are just conclusions I've personally drawn from reading about the history of computing)

I think it's hard to imagine because it comes from the mindset of those who pioneered programming, like Dijkstra. You're right that he seemed to be concerned about the 'purity' of the process. It's clear from reading the original article that he (and others) thought about programming in a much more 'mathematical' way than modern people. Dijkstra wanted a program to be clearly defined and computable all the way through, but when you're jumping around the code arbitrarily that's... difficult. All of this comes from the fact that computing was birthed from mathematics, and the people involved in it back then were more likely to have a base in math.
Nowhere does the research imply incompetence - the word only shows up in the title and the last paragraph of the article...

Overconfidence != Incompetence
Yes but refinancing is not a silver bullet. After 10 years you would have only paid off $7k in principal. So you'd re-fi at 10% at $143k and refi at 7% at $130k. Twenty years worth of payments for only $20k in principal.

Your payments would total $375k over that period. $350k at 4% would total the same amount but with $200k in principal paid down.

I'd much rather be in a situation with $200k in equity versus $20k in equity. And remember, both people have the same monthly payment amount!

> annual full body MRIs to people

So, these are not medically indicated scans which means you're going to be causing huge amounts of over-diagnosis and thus over-treatment, which cause harm.

Hypothetical Bob has his first scan, and it returns a few shadows on his lung. The doctors ask if he's ever had chicken pox and he doesn't think so but he's not sure. So, these shadows are probably just scaring from chicken pox. But maybe they're cancer. The only sure way to tell is for a biopsy. Every medical intervention carries risk, and because you've increased the numbers of interventions you've increased the numbers of people falling victim to that risk.

Bob got a scare; he got an unnecessary medical intervention; he was subjected to risk: what did Bob gain from this?

The only thing this extra data tells us is "chicken pox sometimes scars the lungs and they sometimes show up on MRI", which is something we already know.

You do have a good point about the difficulty in getting hold of data to train AI. Sadly, because of recent missteps in England that's going to continue to be difficult unless the company can show rigorous protections.
Personally I think the issue is that there is still a lot of unemployment (see U6) that prevents classical wage inflation from happening. That, and people outside of highly skilled industries have basically no bargaining power these days + intense global competition in almost all industries
That guide says "consent should not be bundled up as a condition of service unless it is necessary for that service". But what does "necessary for that service" mean? I suspect that "we can't make money unless we're tracking you" wouldn't qualify, but it would be nice if they had a few more clarifying examples.
...the problem is, I'm not really convinced that we really know of a specific "something" that we can do that wouldn't backfire and make emissions even worse by creating perverse incentives elsewhere in the economy.

The only idea I've heard that would likely help in a meaningful way would be to simply make all domestic oil and natural gas extraction 100% illegal and try to convince some other nations to do the same. That one thing would raise world energy prices enough to curb consumption and would also slow down the economy enough to decrease emissions. (But the economic consequences of doing this would be brutal)
LG V35.

Chrome displays a red square, Firefox displays the wide gamut Android logo. Good job, Google.
I think the prevailing wisdom is that engagement suffers more from latency on mobile.
That android logo is a cool use of Wide Gamut and an easy test on a display.

https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LqRniYeVeEk/XOLYEiOcKCI/AAAAAAAAJ...

If on a Pixel 3 or Samsung Galaxy S10 or another P3 capable display, it's a faint-but-visible red logo. Otherwise it's just solid red.

Edit: If not on Android Q, try using Firefox.

There seem to be some odd behavior depending on the software and this may not be always consistent.

I'll probably regret stirring the pot here, but I've never understood or been comfortable with group chats. I grew up in the era of Usenet groups and email (and later, forums & blogs), where conversations were slow and threaded. In the rare event I happen into a group chat today (whether IRC, Discord, SMS, FB, etc.), it feels incredibly stressful and overwhelming.

Sometimes I think of Vernor Vinge's book _True Names,_ where one of the characters is called the Mailman, and only deals with the world through email. That might be me by now...
Bunch of nonsense. None of the examples you cited from other times had any remote comparison to the literal collapse of the global ecosystem. What do you get out of arguing that the level if crisis we're in is not so severe that humans civilization is going to collapse and that there's nothing we can do about it? At least with MAD, the most severe of your comparisons, there's an implicit reason why no one fired nuclear weapons. There is no recourse for what is happening on Earth right now. I'm actually kind of disgusted by your comment.
Very interesting; great ideas. I need to start coding :) I can’t believe that there is no freelancer CRM out there. What type of functionality would set this apart from ‘normal’ CRM? Hours / billing?
