> no tracking

I wouldn't say there is no tracking at all. There might be no tracking by you and there certainly is no Javascript tracking applied, both of which is better than >90% websites out there, but you use two external resources, first bootstrapcdn for css and second giphy for the kitten gif. Those web sites get data for each request, including ip address, user agent and (possibly / if the browser supports it) cookie information.

giphy is a startup that is monetized via ads while bootstrapcdn's privacy policy explicitly states that it uses the ip address and user agent information for targeted advertisement [1]. As you are using a deeplink, you might avoid giphy's tracking which might only be js based, but one can never know. bootstrapcdn was built to be used as a CDN so they will definitely use the data that servers get for tracking.

So don't visit this website too often unless you want to see cat food ads :). Or IDK.

I don't think there is a big benefit from using a CDN for the CSS file, but self hosting the kitten picture means of course a big increase of traffic and idk how it looks like from a license point of view. I have no idea what a privacy friendly kitten picture hosting service would be.

You mean the terminator?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminator_(solar)
Sure they do. I did a quick search and 110-130dB comes up on every result.

It's all about where you measure from, due to the inverse square law. For measuring things such as speakers for product specs, the standard is to measure from one meter away. But for rock concerts and hand dryers, you measure from the typical listening position.

I think you are considering your typical listening position for your child differently from the search results I found. If you were giving your kid a kiss goodnight and they screamed, it would be louder than if you were in the audience of a rock concert (but not louder than if you were kissing the concert speakers).

Every time you double the distance between the source and the meter, the meter reads 6dB lower.
The first time I experienced this in nature was last year in Yosemite. So many people were climbing over barriers and walking in places where they shouldn't, it was horrible.

I've experienced this a lot in Amsterdam too, however. Tourists are treating Amsterdam like it isn't a real city. Especially the British seem to have no respect and treat Amsterdam like it's Vegas, but with less American cops.
> 'rakudo' is an implementation of 'Rakudo', huh? It's only natural for one to tag the specification and an implemention of it with different nouns in one's mind

I get your point theoretically, yet this is not without significant previous occurences: from the top of my head 'Java', 'Ruby', 'Python', 'Go', 'Lua' the languages have 'java', 'ruby', 'python', 'go', 'lua' as the official implementations†. Alternative names for the implementations are merely informal. People even still call the official Ruby implementation 'MRI' when it's not that anymore ever since 1.9 (It's actually YARV or KRI). TBH 'Golang' is more of a search engine hack.

Regarding Perl 6 they could have done so too, but they locked in on theory and wanted to leverage Perl's heritage, which backfired hard. IMHO had they done some initial announcement like "Meet Rakudo, Perls' heir", they would have achieved the same goal with none of the drawbacks. Now the community web has built itself around the Perl 6 name so it's too late.

† I'm perfectly aware that there are significant other examples though, like Common Lisp, Haskell, C, C++ that make that distinction. But then again, many of those implementations turn out to have specifics implemented that turns the actual implementation into a slight to extensive variant of the language, which turns into its own bag of hurts. Naming things definitely is Hard.
I think it'll roll out in different geographic areas at different times, depending on regulations and mapping data of each company. Waymo is clearly going to be first in Arizona, Tesla may be first to a wide roll-out, and let's be real, probably Waymo will be first in California too.
This isn't the type of product - highly mature, fairly complex market with tons of privacy issues - for which you slap together a MVP for and fish for feedback.

I agree too, but I'm not sure I'm comfortable holding expertise in climate science up as evidence that one knows best when it comes to such policy decisions.

I'm an expert at automation. That means I have an excellent sense of what tasks can be automated and how soon, and of a lot of the societal consequences of technological progress, but that doesn't automatically qualify me to choose the best public policy to prevent the associated loss of jobs or help the people who get unemployed as a result.
By bulk I mean the quantities not usually offered in grocery stores. Club-card-style outlets, basically. Of course; that's another trip, and a membership fee, and they don't always have everything you need like a typical grocery store will.

For us, it's always a struggle with waffles (And there's only 5 of us). If everyone eats two waffles in the morning (which happens 98% of the time) that's 10 waffles a day. Hardly anyone carries 48-counts so we end up grabbing as many 24-count boxes as we can and usually have to make another run by Sunday evening. Maybe when the kids get older we could switch to a waffle iron.

People vote populist because they see themselves in that leader: "they're just like me". If the voters considered who they're voting for as idiots, that would mean the voters considered themselves idiots. Instead, people considered them "capable". Not a genius, but "able to get the job done". Charisma instills confidence, and is endearing.

Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton gathered large bases because of what they were saying, but not because of how they said it. Rather than instilling confidence by charisma, they had to convince people of their abilities. In a way, that's much harder. Charisma is a bit like a cheat code.

You can also see this in Bill Clinton, who despite passing some dreadful legislation and being scandalized, people continued to have respect for, because he was very charismatic.

It is apparent that we don't agree on what defines a group of humans to be a sort of 'nation-state'

At which exact point in history would you point to as the defining moment where 'nation-states' begin?

Concepts develop over time, those societies are absolutely part of the beginning of current day nation-states no matter how diverse in culture they may have been (which is something we still see today)

Or: what would it take for everyone to have part of a copy of the index, according to their capacity / needs / etc., and for them to be able to easily search the parts of the index they don't have?

To pre-empt the "you've just described BitTorrent" comment - only in the vaguest sense; you'd need search functionality on the chunks themselves, and ideally you wouldn't have to copy (or even stream) your peers' search index chunks to search them.

I guess there's a trust / security issue here around "search index poisoning"; to resolve that, you'd probably have to lean on SSL verification and all of its attendant infrastructure for now.

That's just really not true. Especially not in a professional setting.

I deal with this personally all the time, as the founder of a national conference series. We reach out to people cold all the time and invite them to prominent speaking roles. Sometimes people are surprised to hear from us or don't think of themselves as public speakers but we're most certainly real and serious.

I get it the other way all the time now too, people reaching out wanting to partner, work together, have us write articles about them, whatever.

These are all super common use cases. There's a lot of business that gets started by an introduction from a random person on the internet.
yeah, I've seen a lot of people saying food in Iceland is super expensive, but when I was there it was about as expensive as any American city.

Not necessarily. When our warehouse is low on stock, we are truly low on stock and usually never reorder due to the seasonality of the clothing industry. That said I agree it is a dark pattern in general.
Perhaps it's a culture thing? IIRC, you don't actually legally have to bring more value to shareholders every quarter at the cost of everything else. Maybe Toyota's execs and shareholders have some sort of "gentlemen's agreement" where they just agree to not prioritize the short term at all costs?

Maybe that's naive and they're just saying one thing and doing another.
There's definitely a big problem with short termism and focus on quarterly performance over long-term value. Luckily there are a variety of solutions to this.

One is to have dual class share structures where minority owners have majority of the voting shares (e.g. Facebook, Google). Another is to create a new type of stock exchange that incentivizes long-term ownership (e.g. LTSE long-term stock exchange).
It's a trade-off. ~20 years ago, when aggregator sites like Priceline, Hotwire, Kayak and the like became mainstream, we stopped seeing the individual sellers, and started picking based on a table of prices.

It seems inevitable that companies started gaming their pricing so they could appear on the top of the list.

Focusing on multiple labels (overlapping communities) is great! It can also be similar to changing the problem to edge labeling, instead of node labeling.

The way we handle the common cases of entity overlap like in event data is another simple way: hypergraph modeling. In terms of reusing graph tech, that just means you make a bipartite graph between samples/events and features. That is one of the most common data transforms folks toggle on/off with Graphistry visuals.

I'm guessing still another couple of years before a notion of standard practice emerges for graph learning. Very cool time!

I wonder if the hole left by failing interventions is actually an opportunity for a different type of intervention.

The whole point of BE-based intervention is that humans have a limited amount of reasoning power to put towards a given decision and can’t always choose rationally, so the nudge is amplifying a heuristic to make it easier to choose something.

The restrictions of human cognition don’t go away - a failing tactic might simply mean opportunity for a new tactic.

We’ve seen this example with things like “fair pricing model” - this is a heuristic shortcut for trustworthiness. You aren’t trying to nudge me? Great!

Certainly new interventions will surface in response.
Yes, out of sheer necessity. Search results have become either a crapshoot when looking for commercially adjacent content due to SEO, or “gentrified” when looking for anything even remotely political, obscure, or controversial. Google used to feel like doing a text search of the internet, but it sometimes acts like an apathetic airport newsstand shopkeeper now (& with access to only the same books and magazines).

Due to this I think people will have to use site-specific searches, directories, friend recommendations, and personal knowledge-bases to discover and connect things instead of search engines.

If I were given the choice between targeted ads and non-targeted ads (funny: no web site has ever offered me this choice), I would always choose the non-targeted ads.
