Do you recommend I look at engineering students' portfolios online for ideas? If I assume that is what helps them get co-ops at Intel and whatnot.
Don’t worry not everyone thinks poor people are stupid. I am poor and know poor people are not stupid. In fact I am so poor I had to learn how to change so many broken things on my car it is now called Theseus Grand Voyager. I am so poor I had to learn to bake bread and feed my family from scratch. I am so poor that instead of buying the wooden building planks they have at Science World that my kids loved to play with I had my dad teach me how to use his table and chop saw and I made my own blocks out of scrap wood. I am rich in knowledge and feel rich to have my necessities for me and my family met. Most of all I am happy with my life. I just feel that I would not have learned nearly as much having money and the ability to pay someone else to do things for me.

I agree with the sentiment but I think you are being too gracious with your analogy. The long and the short is a group of developers was relying on another group of developers to provide software with security concerns for free without vetting the implementation.

Robert Sapolsky touches on this when discussing the effects of glucocorticoids on the prefrontal cortex. A stressed PFC is not an executive functioning PFC. When we're too close to an issue, we process with our periaqueductal gray (key in pain inhibition) and not with the part of our brain more adept at strategizing.

These stress effects on frontal function also make us perseverative—in a rut, set in our ways, running on automatic, being habitual. We all know this—what do we typically do during a stressful time when something isn’t working? The same thing again, many more times, faster and more intensely—it becomes unimaginable that the usual isn’t working. This is precisely where the frontal cortex makes you do the harder but more correct thing—recognize that it’s time for a change. Except for a stressed frontal cortex, or one that’s been exposed to a lot of glucocorticoids. In rats, monkeys, and humans, stress weakens frontal connections with the hippocampus—essential for incorporating the new information that should prompt shifting to a new strategy—while strengthening frontal connections with more habitual brain circuits.

I assume the implicit goal here isn't really "disabling features" like private messaging, but rather replacing age-gating in apps like Steam that stand between a non-logged-in user and the landing page for a rated-M game. (Or, maybe for the first time ever, actually effectively preventing a five-year-old from accessing a porn site just because the porn site doesn't want to be party to showing a five-year-old porn, rather than because the parents installed a content blocker.)

But—possibly-dystopian question here—could this be used in the opposite direction? To keep adults out of safe-space-for-children communities (like the now-defunct Club Penguin)? "Prove you're not an adult" instead of "prove you're not a robot"?
For sure it would be nice to see some stress tests of performance.

From my experience with React, if it's used properly so that the entire component tree isn't rendered every frame, I would expect the overhead of using to be almost nil. You can see in the examples the author using React.memo for this.

The cost of business going up isn't necessarily a bad thing, if we're getting something valuable in return (IMO we are). The question is whether or not the increased cost is prohibitive, and you have not provided any evidence to suggest that's the case.

That sounds less like adult subscribers to the channel being really into that video, and more like tons of non-subscribers (i.e. kids) finding it by searching for toy unboxings and it happening to rank highly because of the relative popularity of the channel. So, not really an example of what "people" do.
Culture is continuously created/reinforced by individuals. Technology has nothing to do with it really. All cultural change starts with individuals who then pass it on to others through their energy & effort, or by raising their children to be like them.

I also discussed this with the SBA and multiple attorneys (attorneys make up most of my clients, btw).

Here in NY, piercing the corporate veil is a bit easier than in other states. More importantly, if someone attempts to go down that road, you have to spend the time and resources ($$$) to defend your position. In general you're best off just starting in the strongest possible position to start with, and usually that means splitting the decision making responsibility. If you want to avoid all that hassle, just go the SP route.

I was at a conference the other week, and one of the big takeaways for me is how many people actually have some sort of disability. In the US for people aged 18 - 65 it's 10%, but for those over 65 it jumps to 37%.

It's easy to dismiss these statistics as 'not applicable to our customers', especially when you are a healthy twenty-something, but the statistics say that as we get older, 1 in 3 of us will have some sort of disability.

The talk also mentioned temporary impairments which restrict the way users can interact, similar to disabilities. What happens if you have a climbing accident and your mouse hand is in a cast for three months? Or maybe you are just on a train, holding the rail with one hand while it's swaying backwards and forwards.
Some of those companies aren't even 25 years old. They didn't get toppled because they were the young upstarts growing into incumbents.

The problem isn't supporting privacy and data rights, it's doing so in a way that creates unintended consequences which actually worsen the market and UX for consumers. There are better ways this regulation could've been written, but it wasn't. That's the issue.

Because that knowledge is worth thousands to tens of thousands of euros in lawyer time. And you're still not guaranteed to get it right or be covered.

Your example is like saying that everyone that wants any kind of job should know multi variable calculus. When people protest that that's putting too much of a burden on people, you bring up that you got a job just fine, because you learned multi variable calculus in school.
Hong Kong wasn't a democracy under British rule. It's become more democratic since the handover - not less.

A lot of Chinese people are touchy when you tell them that part of their country - a part that was taken away from China at the point of a gun in the 1800s - isn't part of China. They're proud that Hong Kong was returned to China, because it's a symbol of China overcoming colonialism, after all the damage and humiliation colonial powers inflicted on China. The Chinese central government is mostly happy to let Hong Kong run itself, as long as they don't try to secede from China, and secession is the primary goal of many of the "pro-democracy" activists.

There isn't really any analogous situation in the United States. Any attempt to make some sort of hypothetical analogy - involving Portland, for example - will sound forced, because the United States doesn't have the same history of foreign powers invading it and carving it up.
Those sinofascists also tell ethnic Chinese citizens of other countries that they are Chinese, and owe allegiance to the People's Republic. Not much different from Nazi Germany's expectations of ethnic Germans living abroad.

Except that the Chinese citizens feel extreme offense and hurt feelings when told that some Chinese are not citizens and don't owe a damn thing to the People's Republic.

This isn't about generating production code, it's a way of testing designs. This helps shake out bugs in the design in much the same way fuzzing does in an implementation, but at this abstract level it's able to get much more exhaustive.
As someone who doesn't have a "speaking agent", that's not exactly how it works. I still have the thoughts, I just don't narrate them to myself. I can still think fine, the thoughts happen before the narration anyway. Your CPU doesn't stop processing just because you turned off the screen.

It doesn't sound like it takes into account which pieces of content you watch, just how you navigate the app. So I don't think watching toys being opened will cause you to be detected as a kid.
This is such a simple and effective trick to think about problems involving you. It's very easy to do, for example you imagine how somebody else who is standing next to you can see you, like if you were that person. Sometimes I imagine how my grandpa would see what I do if he still would live and he could be proud of me or not.

Well, right after I graduated, any state resident with a 3.0 GPA and 1000 SAT score (out of 1600) could get their tuition paid for any public college in our state thanks to the lottery funding. The standards are slightly higher now and it only covers 90% of tuition I believe.

So there is that....
Below I talk about the older GRE exams

It's not hard to get a perfect score in the quantitative section. You just need to be decent at math, and simply careful and tedious not to make mistakes. It's not hard to get in the 99 percentile of verbal either - just memorize a lot of words, practice, and learn some of the tricks (e.g. for analogy questions, you can eliminate 3 of the 5 choices even if you don't know the meaning of both words presented to you).

Now when they had the analytical section (different from the current one - they retired it in about 2004) - that was a bit more challenging. And that was the one that set people in top schools apart. Getting a near perfect score (770-800) in quantitative was the norm for people applying to any of the top 10 grad schools in technical fields. But the analytical section was tougher. I think Caltech had the highest median (about 780). The next highest was Wisconsin with 750. The next highest after that was 720, and the rest of the top 10 were in that vicinity.

But they scrapped that section - the only one that was a useful differentiator.

Anyway - bottom line is getting good grades in GRE in the old days (and I suspect today as well) is mostly an exercise in memorizing words, and learning test taking strategies - including simple things like if you have to solve an equation and have 5 choices for x - don't bother solving it - just plug each x in to the equation to see which one works.

Most people don't do this well because:

1. They cram - spend only 2 months preparing for it.

2. They don't spend time in figuring out efficient test taking strategies. Actually, they don't need time - they just need to read a few books on the topic!

I spent over a year preparing for it (only a few minutes a day, and with gaps of weeks at a time). It wasn't hard to get a perfect score in two of the categories and a 99 percentile in the third. And then when I went to grad school, I didn't perform better than those whose score was nowhere near as good.
Here is an explanation for expected throughput of various WiFi standards https://www.speedguide.net/faq/what-is-the-actual-real-life-...

The Unifi product line works well for environments where non-network savy people are involved. I've installed them in a number of non-profits, my relative and friends homes with great success. By success, I get no questions or complaints about WiFi coverage or access. Ubiquiti has done a pretty incredible job of making multiple AP setup and management easy for a low price.

For people who want a router + APs, I recommend the USG Gateway, Unifi Cloud Key, and one or more AP-AC-Lite's. As an alternative to the USG Gateway, I use Ubiquiti Edgerouter POE's or ER-X's.

I've used a USG myself, but may switch to a pfsense router as the USG lacks some advanced features that aren't available in the USG.

Background: In the 90's I built my own firewalls, then moved to SG300's from an Australian company that eventually got purchased by McAfee (I think?), then to DD-WRT on WRT54G's, then Tomato, then Asuswrt-Merlin, and then to the USG. Why not continue on the opensource route? I just wanted a firewall that worked and was easy to maintain. The Ubiquiti Edge Router and Unifi Security Gateway met most of my requirements and I've been satisfied. I'm happy to answer any questions.
This is called "detachment" in many areas of leadership like the military.

I'm sure everyone has personally experienced this, for example when giving advice to others. It's usually very rational and practical because you're not personally and emotionally invested in the events of their life.

True. The foreign powers in the Americas went for genocide and carving it up.
Geographically and politically it may be true but an identity is something that is hard to shake off, especially given the differences in dialect and customs. Portland and the US just doesn't have that difference.

Thanks! I've only really been through the tutorials of each, I'm glad to read about your experience upthread.
For some reason the idea of having pictures of people in my contacts just feels creepy in an indescribable way, even if it isn't my picture but those of others. Perhaps this is because it increases the "you are being watched" feeling.

Yet the trend seems to be to plaster every single UI everywhere with the faces of users (and pestering them to upload "profile photos")... I do not need to see a picture of myself every time I'm logged into a site.
> you don't have to identify with the thoughts coming out of the thinking-agent,

I really have hard time with this . What is the difference between thinking and perceiving agents. Both entities are doing thinking and perceiving. One seems to be passing some sort of value judgement on the other self. Why would some thoughts be "invalid". They are coming out of you for a reason, why should those reasons be ignored.

How precisely is the self( the one we are strongly identifying with) coming up with validity criteria for other self's thoughts. Surely its your own ambitions. right? eg: Ignore the thought of eating icecream.

Wouldn't this process create some sort of constant internal conflict where two self are fighting and passing value judgement on each other.
It really shouldn't. You just feed the framebuffer both into the DMA output, and in the H.26x encoder. If needed, use another framebuffer space if the encoder is slow, so you don't _have_ to recycle the buffer after this frame, and risk the encoder not being done yet.
From my experience, as a backend engineer develops more frontend/javascript skills, the solutions tend to become more intertwined. We now have some parts of our app where you couldn’t change the tiniest detail in a view method, without thinking about how that’s going to break client side. I’m not sure that’s moving in the right direction.
>hard sciences

Yes, i have often said (including here on HN) that we should refer to them as the easy sciences, or less incendiary, the concrete sciences.

The question that lingers in my mind about the replication issue is perhaps the empirical process itself is ill suited to psychology. I think the replication crisis might be a crisis of process as much as it is of incentives.

Empiricism seeks repeatable phenomena, same inputs, same outputs. In our psychological, virtual worlds, we have different inputs, different outputs, but are looking for similar processes. (Your example is a good one, in that the underlying process is a common experience but the lack of replicability of the study does not invalidate the process, just the input-ouput.) Maybe we need another model, or another layer, of empiricism in psychology.. I would characterise it as a sort of computational model.

I am reminded of the study where the neurologists try to reverse engineer a computer program by looking at a computer.[0] I can't help but wonder how psychologists would approach the same problem.

[0] cannot find it at the moment, but admittedly do like the analogy in that it is suggestive of the difficulty of understanding a complex system outside of its abstraction layer.
Try thinking about a device breaking, so you lose access to all your e-books until you buy a new one.

Then imagine the line of devices being discontinued, or no more available in your country, etc.

Apps sort of solve it, as long as they are maintained, and you can get hold of a compatible device. Or maybe your book will be withdrawn because it stopped being available, due to copyrights or other legal reasons.

In short, once you buy a music track, you own it, for personal purposes. Once you pay for an Amazon e-book, you keep renting it.
And you pay for the lawsuit out of your own pocket. Now you need to run a business and fight a very expensive legal battle against the government. That same government that regulates your business.
> PCMag: The first glimpse we get of Bitworld is this newly sentient virtual mind conceiving its surroundings, its being, and its ability to think and create and learn and adjust in the midst of endless chaos. It was fascinating stream-of-consciousness writing to encapsulate cognition. That must've been a really tricky part to write.

I'm looking forward to reading this, for sure.

But I gotta say that Greg Egan did a good job of this, at the beginning of "Diaspora". Which he published in 1998.

Also interesting is Kevin MacArdry's The Last Trumpet Project, which goes further. Read-only access to the past permits bringing everyone who ever lived into digital heavens. It came out in ~2010.
> their failing business model

The business model is fine, the EU and you are choosing to kill it. Not only are people arguing for no tracking they are arguing on forcing other people to live without tracking. So if someone in Europe wants a free service in exchange for their personal information they don't even have the choice. Additionally GDPR requires that businesses not restrict their products to only those that are funding it.
And you had better polling besides just your cohort and what other said to you? This seems like a disingenuous argument, ending with you can't really trust anything but our own opinions.

Yes, they were bad, self-selecting polls. You have nothing better, and I hear far more complains than people being happy with the decision. The polls both tended to agree though so that would lend some credibility.

Maybe you should have just explained "We aren't really asking the users since we have way to show that any poll would be valid, but we will take some input and make up our mind from that."

I think that is a very precise (and charitable) description.
