I agree that the framing of low socioeconomic status and traumatic experiences as anormal is questionable when the absence of these influences is the real anomaly. On the other hand, normal doesn't imply good and mere survival is a pretty low bar for quality of life. You probably wouldn't abandon your children in a warzone so they can have a more normal childhood.

How likely is it to accidentally rip off the inner part of sockets?

It happens, I know that from personal experience. But how does compare with the wear during normal use?

Type C and Lightning nearly look like plug & socket components. I understand type C moved the springs to the plug. But how often do people rip out the socket?
The Google results started going bad for me around when project humming bird came along. We need a distributed open data alternative that can be tweaked for your proferences transparently.

For extra context: back then you would manually submit your site to yahoo and dmoz to end up in their results. They saw themselves as directories.

Google was all about crawling and building up the biggest dataset going.

Both approaches were victim to keyword stuffing (lots of keywords at the bottom of the page and if you were lucky it was in a marquee tag).

Pagerank was a pretty decent extra value with a relevance score to promote trust worthy sites. However there were similar techniques like hubs and authorities from kleinberg.

On a side note his old research students / postdocs ended up leading key initiatives at FB newsfeed and Pinterest discovery.

Yes, it's a bad situation. The article makes an error that is noted by Paul Beckwith: there is no "deadline" for crops anymore as there's only previous "guidelines."

It's how the US patent system works. Basically it's almost like copyright: you can patent virtually anything that hasn't been patented yet until challenged in court as either trivial or not original (i.e. prior art exists). Essentially the US patent system achieves two goals: shift the burden of verifications and validations to competitors and courts; and secondly, provide the US some advantage on the international level via the Patent Cooperation Treaty. Any crappy patent may turn out to be important, so just let them register everything and see which one "sticks".
So stay in a small town. But those of us living in larger towns, with jobs, families, interests, obligations and involvement there, would like a humane living space too. Taking back the public space so thoughtlessly set aside for cars is a part of this.

How do we differentiate from a compelling and effective form of entertainment with an addictive activity? Most people wouldn't look down on someone who stays up till 3 AM reading a gripping book, but many would if we swap the book with a video game. Definitely people who can't hold down jobs or education due to addition to video games or social media is a problem, but I suspect that a lot of the concern is due to an overall negative view towards games and internet use.

What I do think is a problem is the fact that we have much better data collection on how people use video games and internet services. Absent that information, developers had to think about crafting a good overall experience that people were willing to pay for. With that information, people optimize for overall time used instead of the quality of the experience. Hours and dollars spent is an easy metric to show to executives, judging the overall quality of the experience is much more subjective.

VCR was out in the late 70s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Videocassette_recorder

I doubt it was just porn though. I believe that simply getting teenagers / young adults inside for long periods of time (and not just for the purpose of abusing drugs / alcohol) is a big victory (for crime stats, not society in general).
It does look like their is a strong partisan element here - but that isn't a bad thing in this instance. I think this is an interesting tangent to take.

From a health-of-the-system perspective it really should be intolerable that a few large closed-garden platforms control the flow of information. Information monocultures are a threat to everyone, even if one partisan group feels more threatened than the other at any one time.

I happily take the market-efficiency position on most debates, but the risk of Google being anything but neutral is worrying. They appear to have a political bias in their employee base and are under pressure to make judgements about fact v. fiction (might even be an inherent requirement of choosing a sort order for search results) - that is a position somewhat similar to a conventional media organisation.

I support the concept of media being a special case where the risk of an information monoculture outweighs the damage of being inefficient. Laws that basically make it impossible for one media source to control a market are fine. I'd like to see internet search designated as a market where there legally can't be one dominant player, and details get sorted out as best can be done.

Maybe that is already how the market is, I don't know. There are many alternatives not controlled by Google. But something even stronger than antitrust seems appropriate as a matter of law, even if we don't apply it today. I can't see how a platform like Google can be neutral given the ongoing partisan extremes that have developed in American politics and Google's connections to the Democrats.
It's a popular thing to downvote me, but that's the history of the entire mankind, to punish those who ask the critical questions or think differently from the mainstream. I don't really care any more: if I want to ask my question I will ask it, the way I want to.

It would be useful if the default Windows™️ terminal had proper emulation, agreed. That would bring it closer to UNIX®️ and make Windows™️ much more useful. That is logical but as you saw not obvious, especially not around here.

As a side note, intermetallic compounds can happen in any process; soldering, brazing, welding, casting, etc. Most are bad because they are brittle and are often crack nucleation sites, however some compounds can have various strengthening effects, though not typically in solders.

Eutectic alloys are also notable because they often have the lowest melting point (unless there are multiple eutectic points). The liquid/solid together explanation was kind of an unclear explanation in my opinion. What the author meant is that a eutectic alloy does not have a range of temperatures where liquid and solid can coexist in a stable state (the general case for multicomponent materials), upon reaching the eutectic temperature, the solid immediately melts into liquid.
They'd only care if money gained - PR lost == profit.
> And gig labor laws could prevent people from sacrificing their healthcare and other benefits for immediate economic gain.

You make the unqualified assumption that these people had healthcare and benefits before driving for Uber. And regardless, unlike child labor these are adults that are making these decisions for themselves. They looked at their opportunities and decided that driving for Uber or Lyft was best. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that these individuals are more qualified to make their own life choices than people on the internet who know nothing about their lives.

In my experience LSD is far different from Psilocybin, in that it "feels" more artificial, definitely does not give the same feeling of belonging to a greater organic whole that you may get with mushrooms.

Working on Side Projects
I think architecture is a fine metaphor for actually constructing software, just no one treats software the way we treat architecture.

Imagine putting an architect on a plane, and during the flight briefly explaining some elements of a house to be built: It needs to be 2 stories and have a big kitchen, open concept, 4 bedrooms. Something like that, yes? How long will that take?

I couldn't possibly say! Well, just give me a range. Etc.

So the plane lands and the architect wonders exactly where he is. This is a plot in a forest. Before we can begin we need to clear these trees and get plumbing and electricity hooked up... Hey, you didn't mention any of this in your estimate!

Now we are months behind schedule but the groundwork is finally laid. We are really behind the 8 ball schedule-wise! Just do a quickie job the rest of the way, ok?

But when the architect goes to hire carpenters he discovers they only speak French! Didn't you know you this house is being built in France? I forgot to mention it. You speak that language, right? Well, figure it out. You are the architect after all.
...just not by you.

>The nature of addiction has implications—more precisely, temptations—for businesses that sell habituating products. One is to encourage early and frequent consumption. Treat the lads, the saloonkeepers used to say, and you’ll have their money in the till when they’re adults. And the more they drink, the greater the profits. To this day, 80 percent of alcohol sales go to the 20 percent of customers who are the heaviest users, a pattern that applies across the business of brain reward. More than half of all marijuana finds its way into the lungs and stomachs of those who spend more than half their waking hours stoned. Insofar as addictions to marijuana, or to anything else, develop most often among the poor, the marginal and the genetically vulnerable, they are sources of inequality and injustice as well as illness.

Yes, exactly. And for a discussion about the pros and cons of Nuclear Energy the important factor is not, if it is less deadly than people generally think, but if it is safe enough that anyone (or at least a democratic majority) would accept the risks.

What is the point of a discussion with the topic "it is deadly, but not as deadly as people generally think, but still unacceptably deadly"? I don't get it.

>What I do think is a problem is the fact that we have much better data collection on how people use video games and internet services

I think this doesnt get to the core of the issue, and that's that, humans have always sought better and more efficient ways to get enjoyment out of things, people would infuse their rectums with alcohol way back in Egyptian times to get a stronger alcohol "high".

The difference between lets say, 1980's arcades and modern mobile games is simply the tools available, the aim is the same. Only now we can do it faster with A/B testing, with the knowledge of Skinner boxes, etc

Having worked in GameDev, one of the most flooring things I have faced is people asking me for me to introduce said addictive inducing systems and mechanisms.... They want the enjoyment, they want to be "addicted", they want a game "so good" that they can't put it down.

And when it comes to what you mention of the metrics, yeah, 100%, modern digital era metrics are all based in the so called "Attention Economy", specially for social platforms, in the case of Netflix or Fortnite, their biggest competitors are people actually working, or asinine things like taking a walk, cooking, spending time with family, etc. We are in a race to the bottom for people's attentions and lives, HackerNews itself is yet another Skinnerbox for those that enjoy learning things. Reddit, Twitter, Youtube they all are designed to be addictive, Limbic Capitalism, and to not do so would mean that said platforms would lose in the free market against others that did employ said tactics...

We are optimizing for human pleasure, yet what happens when said pleasure is actually a potential enemy?
Returning? The whole concept of a city rests on the idea of more people traveling into it for various reasons than people living in it. People who want to live in a city profit massively from the availability of services that are economically possible due to the extreme density of customers. If you lock out individual travel (and there might be good reasons to do so) you inevitably transform your city into something else that has not existed before. That is not "returning" or "regaining" nor will the space be necessarily "public".

Whatever comes out of these modern transformations might as well leave the city centers economically deserted, or at least less attractive to their current citizen.

While I never understood the urge to live in the cities, I do understand the call for more space and in particular less car traffic from those who do live there. But they also should understand that cities do come with downsides and there is no guarantee that you can have the cake and eat it.

as always metaphors are a lousy way to reason

We'll put. Unfortunately in this case, iur legal and often social reasoning works exactly this way.

I think you've put your finger on the metaphor at the heart of this problem: the public square. I've had this thought several times when hearing/reading Jack Dorsey's response to all sorts of issues. We can't have a private owner and rulemaker for our public squares, without losing some of that metaphor's more meaningful implications.

I think there are two big issues at play. One is that public square issue. If that is appropriate to think of FB that way, I think the implication is exactly opposite of what FB execs want: you can't exclusively exploit it for private gain. A (metaphorical) public square is a political (literal) forum. The types of problems that come with a private public forum are exactly those demonstrated by the Cambridge Analytica scandal. The public forum gets auctioned off secretly to political bidders.

The second issue is another (possibly) metaphor broken by a shift in the underlying reality. "Expectation of privacy" means something totally different online. There's no expectation of privacy when you get in your car and drive to the store. But, if a new technology happens to give a company the ability to log your car's whereabouts at all times.

The tubes are good in Oslo. Runs like clockwork as far as I have seen.

Buses are ok, not always according to schedule but so frequent during the day it hardly matters to me.

Trains are a bit of both:

- most regional ones are brand new

- the other aren't to bad either: old fashioned but clean and well maintained. In fact a number of commuters prefer the older ones.

- they are expensive (if you teamed up with three others you'd finance a Tesla in 10 years I guess. The downside is you can't expect everyone to go to work and home at the exact same time every day or even stay in their job for ten years)

- while they might be reasonably precise for weeks on end it is never a surprise when they are delayed.

- information is poor (my guess is because they have to pay alternative transport if they are more than 30 minutes delayed so they'll try to avoid announcing delays as long as possible. Again this is just my guess.)

- the commuter trains are always crowded in the Oslo area. Sometimes they are so crowded you literally cannot move around. Having seen and read about stadium fires and other disasters involving crowds I wonder how this is even allowed.
Started reading the sample text but as soon as I read abstract machine it was all over: we have suffered far too much and far too long under inefficiencies and distribution nightmares of abstract machines like that of Java, .NET or Python: if I cannot compile it straight to a machine code executable, I want nothing to do with it. Intermediate representation: just say no.
Rather than it be a 'war' I wish it was a sneaky game of 'musical chairs', reducing a space at a time and turning it over to more sensible use.

For instance, the street I am on is one way and lined with these tin silver box things on either side. A fair bit of the traffic is playing the game of musical chairs, as it is driving round and round looking for a space to park.

If one side was made into a bike lane then that would be a huge bonus to cyclists who should be able to get into town rather than deflected out onto a horrid ring road.

When you count the cars and when you count the bikes being inconvenienced, you wonder how it would work if there was already a bike lane there, used by locals and people on commutes.

Would my neighbours be able to petition the council to close down the bike lane in order for them to park their SUV cars there? Nope, and they would not have the organisational ability to get together to petition the council to close down the bike lane.

As things stand the car owners have squatters rights. So there is no bike lane, just a continual stream of cyclists holding up traffic by riding slowly on the tarmac remaining between the walls of steel each side of the road. Or there are cyclists bombing down the pavement (sidewalk) to piss off pedestrians. All because some people have a god given right to park their SUVs.

So unless there is some revolution the only way to reclaim such space is with a council that sneakily reclaims the spaces. One way this could be done is to mandate more clear road by side junctions for 'safety reasons'. This would benefit motorists as they could see better around the corners. So nobody could object to that. Next, do the same around private drive-ways that join the road, put more double yellow lines down. Then, when there are only a few spots left to park in the council could push the big idea and get a decent cycle lane in so 'kids could safely cycle to school'.

Having a standard SQL extension definitely eases adoption and ability to migrate from one tool to another. But rather than adding and adding features to SQL; we maybe need a simpler way to extend/compose features.

On that point, I see a contradiction in the future work section of the paper where it said that "Experience has also shown that pre-built solutions are never sufficient for all use cases; ultimately, users should be able to utilize the power of SQL to describe their own custom-windowing TVFs". But, how can a SQL user add its own custom operator?
Some of us, maybe. Others would not stand the tedium, the stagnation.

Think also how would the world look if we could have "loved now" 5000 years ago, and thus never developed past proto-agriculture.
