Do note that I'm not talking about asking questions on IRC; but rather, I'm talking about asking questions of people who I already know to be experts in the specific field I'm asking about. (The "specialized contractors" you're talking about, but more like e.g. university professors.) Like, if I have a concrete graph-theory problem, I'm asking a graph-theory expert about it.

The problem doesn't come because the population I'm asking doesn't know graph theory; it's because someone who's an expert on graph theory can't be expected to also know e.g. DSP design, and the higher-level problem is a DSP design problem, and once they find that out, they say they don't know DSP design and refuse to help. Even though the concrete problem is a graph theory problem!

This is, IMHO, one of the key psychological problems hindering interdisciplinary fields of study: everyone thinks that, because a problem is A&B, and they only know things about A, that they can't make a contribution. Even though everyone only knows either A or B, and the whole point is to get the people who know A talking to the people who know B, rather than to create some sort of A&B paragons.

Boeing Built Deadly Assumptions into 737 Max, Blind to a Late Design Change
2nd Polish republic was established after WW1, so there was no Polish ground. The border was supposed to be Curzon line (exactly that line, that USSR took back in 1939), but the Poles were gunning for more, hence the 1919-1921 war.

If you consider Polish ground whatever was high mark of Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth, then good luck with that. It was empire building in the making, they overstretched and didn't make it. It is no Polish ground exactly in the same sense, that Balkan is not Turkish either.

It reminds me of the scene in "Return of the King" where Gandalf and Aragorn are looking for athelas:

> And he will tell you that he did not know that the herb you desire had any virtues, but that it is called _westmansweed_ by the vulgar, and _galenas_ by the noble, and other names in other tongues more learned, and after adding a few half-forgotten rhymes that he does not understand, he will regretfully inform you that there is none in the House, and he will leave you to reflect on the history of tongues.

or, as Gandalf cried:

> 'Then in the name of the king, go and find some old man of less lore and more wisdom who keeps some in his house!'

You still have a choice about what sites you visit. Maybe FANG just provide a great value for people so they choose them more often. Most people don’t have a choice in what ISP they can use.
Electrons move at the same speed. In a low-resistance material (metal crystal) they move in an almost strait line. In a higher resitance material they take a longer path, and must line up (stop) to make it through bottlenecks. They only seem to be moving more slowly at a macroscopic level.

Not only a smart move but also quite typical for that time. Note that Pilsudski was a kind of dictator and the Polish government was rather aggressive with respect to all its neighbors. Therefore, the war between Germany and Poland was a collision of two dictators - Hitler and Pilsudski.
Car accidents happen so often hat people would probably demand not to see daily this tragic events.

When I was a child (25 years ago) we had only 1 TV channel, and weekly there was 30 minutes broadcast only about road accidents, it was created in collaboration with the police and the purpose was educative, to show the consequences of not respecting the rules.

The problem this days is that media needs to make money and not to educate, even the national TV and radio needs to compete with the private TV so everything now is similar on all channels mostly.

Edit:
I still see traffic accidents reportd on our local news here, is this not happening in US but on the local news? Or is your point that there should be a news item for each car accident, I don't think you can compare a regular accident with a mass shooting though, maybe with a regular shooting. a mass shooting is more like an accident involving a bus full of children.
I think the sources of the claimed benefits here are 1) the OS can stay out of some reads entirely, because PCIe devices directly answering requests to read/write memory is a thing, and 2) for small reads [or writes, as arcticbull notes below] you don't have to send the whole page between the SSD and the host system, freeing up bandwidth.

The gains measured in the paper are using emulation, so, like, they didn't really hack SSD firmware. There's got to be some cost on the controller side to service these new requests. And they seem to be accounting for this, but of course taking away some overheads doesn't take away the underlying limits of the storage medium or controller.

A couple things make something like this more interesting in the future: PCIe 4 doubles bandwidth and is supposed to be coming in some AMD chipsets soon (and the PCIe 5 spec has been finalized and, once it's really shipping, provides another doubling), and of course Intel/Micron's new storage medium has zippier read/writes than Flash.

I wonder whether arrangements like this over PCIe end up a middle ground between using swap/mmap'ing vs. way pricier setups with nonvolatile DIMMs.

I think you're missing the point as well, and that may be a generational difference.

You value security and loyalty, because that's what your generation was raised with.

My generation has no delusions of job security. It does not and will not exist in our future. We value independence and freedom, and the opportunity to pursue our careers.

I've done contract work my entire life and wouldn't have it any other way. I do not want to be tied to a company. I earn much, much work working independently.

Your reply indicates that you think that has something to do with idealism, and it doesn't. We want to do work, get paid for it, and fuck off to the next thing.

You don't have to agree with it, just don't participate in it if you don't. But don't try to get in the way of other people doing what they want because you don't understand it.

Parent is suggesting a new regulatory category. Even if we accept that the gig economy is detrimental overall today, in theory this new regulation would bring it up to a different point. I'm not sure how you can conclude that it's "detrimental overall" without better defining the regulation. That is, I'm not sure your comment really addresses parent's comment.
> The solution is to not do anything about it.

I agree in many cases, but it's a circular problem:

1. Shooting event happens

2. Media whips up national frenzy, people start calling for politicians to do something

3. Politician's Syllogism happens due to pressure from #2

4. Repeat 1-3

The only way to break the cycle is to remove step 2.
Their comment was fine. Relax. They discussed why it actually might be more risky from an individual's perspective to be an employee than a contractor.

In my opinion anyway the individual perspective is a moot point. Unless there's some serious shortage of access to information the main consideration should be the benefit to society as a whole and not just a single company. How much more stable will a business and its impact on commerce be if it does provide reduced-premium insurance is the more important question to ask.
I'm also speculating here, but I think resistance can manifest as slower electrons or as fewer electrons moving at the same speed.

On the wire, away from the resistors, the number of electrons that can move should stay constant, so the election drift velocity should drop as resistance increases.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drift_velocity

https://codepen.io/lilgreenland/pen/xprGvr
(not a mobile friendly link)

One more thing to add. Electron drift velocity isn't the same as signal propagation speed. Wires can transmit information at around 2/3 the speed of light, but the drift velocity of an electron in a wire is around walking speed.

> WhatsApp end-to-end encryption ensures only you and the person you're communicating with can read what's sent, and nobody in between, not even WhatsApp.

https://faq.whatsapp.com/general/28030015/

Instead of us going back and forth about this, perhaps a lawyer can weigh in: is there any way Facebook would survive a lawsuit if this were patently false? Meaning, they delibrerately put in a backdoor to the encryption and are reading messages, knowingly, as intimated in this thread.

And would this be "another day in the life", or would it be a transgression of new levels for Facebook?

It is my conviction that companies try and do what they can to stay within the confines of a hypothetical lawsuit. That's what legal departments are for, essentially. If this were a lie, I would be very, very interested in knowing how they got that document past legal. But perhaps a real lawyer can elucidate matters?

That’s a specious argument. I can easily mitigate my own personal risk of getting struck by lightning. I have a weather forecast which gives me hours warning of unsafe conditions, and there are usually covered structures around to protect you from that risk. It’s not like the lightning follows you around to kill you.
That's the kind of thinking that leads to old policies like New York City rounding up all the homeless and putting them on a bus with a mandatory one way ticket to Pennsylvania.

The person taking the brunt of the hardship is clearly the person suffering it and not the person with the misfortune of having to observe them, and they also have the best incentive to take steps to prevent that from happening. Forcing choices on them doesn't fix it. Maybe it makes it so you don't have to look at them, but if the net result is sufficiently worse that they wouldn't have chosen it given the choice, you're not actually helping them, you're just making the suffering less visible.
Yes but that will most likely involve the use of land mines or a dirty bomb that pollutes the forest with radioactivity.
Uber offers ride-sharing services (Uber Pool) and Taxi services. As a frequent Pool rider, I'm not sure what else you would call it besides ride-sharing - the three of us taking the Pool don't own cars and wouldn't have otherwise gotten in touch with each other. Uber provides a car, a driver, and route coordination for a price and the three of us share the ride.

> USSR took back territories that Poland took from USSR in the 1919-1921 Polish-Soviet war

Essentially, Poland was occupying these territories between 1921 and 1939. Also, Poland had a dictatorship (quite typical in Europe at that time) and they were highly aggressive with respect to their neighbors: Polish-Ukrainian War (1918–19), Polish-Lithuanian War (1920, culminating in Żeligowski's Mutiny), Polish-Czechoslovak border conflicts (beginning in 1918).

Technology is never neutral. If your work has any impact on the world, then this impact has a moral direction. The seemingly innocuous technical choices we make in software products modulate the terms of access to technology, its usage incentives, who will benefit, and who will suffer. Technical choices are also ethical choices. Thus, always be deliberate and explicit about the values you want your choices to support. Design for ethics. Bake your values into your creations. Never think, I’m just building the capability; that in itself is neutral. It is not because the way you build it determines how it will get used.

> they will tell you that those kids mature far more quickly than the kids here. And they see it as a positive impact.

This may well not be true, though. Humans as a species mature much more slowly to adulthood than other similarly sized species, e.g. deer become full-blown adults and start reproducing inside of two years. One of the reasons we mature more slowly is it takes a lot of time to grow and train larger brains.

It's not clear to me that shortening this cycle and forcing maturation as quickly as possible is a good thing.

As this article and other similar articles has pointed out; If the Chinese dictatorship decides to attack Apple it will also cause unemployment and other economic issues for China considering how many people Foxconn/Jabil and their local suppliers hire. There are few solid options for the Chinese to effectively retaliate without also hurting themselves.

If you have an iPhone, you already trust Apple enough to have a HomePod in your home. Ditto for Google/Android phone/Google Home.

Brown Dwarf Atmospheres as Potential Sites for Life
Crucial quote:

But in one of the first empirical studies of the impacts of behaviorally targeted advertising on online publishers’ revenue, researchers at the University of Minnesota, University of California, Irvine, and Carnegie Mellon University suggest publishers only get about 4% more revenue for an ad impression that has a cookie enabled than for one that doesn’t. The study tracked millions of ad transactions at a large U.S. media company over the course of one week.

That modest gain for publishers stands in contrast to the vastly larger sums advertisers are willing to pay for behaviorally targeted ads. A 2009 study by Howard Beales, a professor at George Washington University School of Business and a former director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection at the Federal Trade Commission, found advertisers are willing to pay 2.68 times more for a behaviorally targeted ad than one that wasn’t.

Much of the premium likely is being eaten up by the so-called “ad tech tax,” the middlemen’s fees that eat up 60 cents of every dollar spent on programmatic ads, according to marketing intelligence firm Warc.

Sasha Gong’s Statement on suspended Twitter account
No. The comment was off topic.

I was replying to an individual. And then someone decided to add a reply to my comment with typical internet free market talking points. I was not discussing these debated to death boring religious debates about government and taxation. I was talking to an individual. Please refer to the comment I was originally replying to for context.

For an individual, the loss of worker compensation is a very very significant thing to consider. Driving is a very dangerous job. Most police officer deaths each year are from automobile accidents. Whether they should make that choice, or if a society should allow it, was absolutely nowhere in any way at all in my comment. Please reread my comment as it appears you seem to have missed that.

If you want to rehash the same typical talking points we've all heard 10,000 times, please do it in a different thread. I have a very difficult time seeing how repeating things that have been said so many times does anything but waste all of our time here.

I think this is a really simplistic view of how the first amendment applies to businesses. I think the key here is the definition of a 'public space' as what freedoms a business has changes when they provide a public space. It's a bit unclear what defines a public space in the digital world, I'd argue that physical presence isn't a requirement and the key aspects are accessibility and communication. i.e. If anyone can go there, and anyone can communicate there, it's a public space. _If_ this is true, then many sites are public spaces, certainly social media. Search is a bit more unclear since the communication aspect is questionable.
