The fact that Google is also moving forward with AMP4Email, which has nothing to do with fast-loading mobile websites, reveals that the true purpose of AMP is simply to create a Google-proprietary replacement for HTML.
> That’s really weird.

From what I can gather (anecdotally) is most of them would rather trust the system, or blame the system, than confront the fact they are undermining their children's future. Stormy Daniel's is a concern. The shite passing for food on the kitchen table is not nearly as important.

I'm not joking when I say, we are in The Matrix - just batteries for the machine.
I am aware. I am in management, possibly longer than you have held your career.
I think this works as long as you have income to pay off the debt and actually are paying off the debt. But isn't it a problem when:

- you're only paying the interest and rolling over the debt; that only works with declining interest rates

- your income goes down for whatever reason and you can no longer make the debt payments

- you think "I'll just sell the stock" I accumulated, but that may not be possible if the stock price is declining.

If your income goes down, your stock price is probably also declining at the same time, but you still have those debt payments to make.
The claim doesn't even make sense, since she's not comparing women bios with anything at all, much less male bios. Unsurprisingly, when activist editors target people who still don't have bios in 2019, despite at least a decade of diversity drives, you are often going to be scraping the bottom of the barrel.

(Frankly, only 6 out of 700 sounds like they are being treated with kid gloves! Of the several hundred articles I've written or started, way more than that have been deleted or attempted to be deleted, even ones where I can provide literally hundreds of references. A group must be very privileged indeed to have a <1% deletion rate given WP's heavy-handed deletionism these days...)
> He says the criticism he received was harsh, congruous with some of the other feedback he’s seen on the site where people are eager to pass judgment and diagnose others, armed with only 3,000 characters of information.

Is this about someone learning the harshness of internet judgement for the first time? If you've been on the 'tubes for any amount of time, you understand that forum mobs are fickle and you probably don't want to invite attention to your psyche (even through an anonymous throwaway) without presenting all the facts and angles.

And then you get to the demographic nature of the particular forum (as sibling comments point out, those with little life experience.)
the fact that devices need to phone home can be major issue, especially with networks not connected to the Internet.

Also, degrading a device because of a license issue can become a huge liability.

What if the smart licensing service has a technical error, and all switches in your datacenter go down because they no longer support the software features you require?

From my experience with other datacenter network vendors, most seem to just do a vanity kind of licensing where they basically audit you every X years for licenses.
Reading articles, stack overflow, language spec. Doing my own lab. Reading others code. Talking with other programmers. Discussion boards. IRC. But most importantly: working on real projects.
Saying dsRNA is safe is analogous to saying organic chemicals are safe because you eat things made of the same elements every day.
Also, keep your eye out for granger county TN tomatoes. Incredible.
yeah ... that's well within the 24yo's consent, and well within the anti-creepiness formula.
You are making several assumptions to qualify to something vague. If a developer doesn't understand the code after reading it the time is ripe for the mentor to get in some pair development time. Refusing to read code isn't that. The junior shouldn't be held to account for their lack of understanding, but they should be destroyed for their lack of effort.
It is soooo painful watching non-biologists debate pesticide impact based on watching biased, nonscientific reports. In the same way it's easy to train an ML model that is garbage, but you have to an expert in ML to understand why, it's easy to make mistaken conclusions with complex systems like biology/agriculture.

I see comments below like "pesticides are bitter and that's why vegetables grown with pesticides are bitter". That's a pretty odd conclusion, given that many vegetables contain bitter compounds already...

Please try to use actual logic, data, and science, not trivially disprovable claims.
Although the number of 'white knights' on that subreddit is very high which leads to very skewed opinions on who is the asshole for relationship advice.

Pretty much the same as /r/relationshipadvice. I would advice everyone not to listen to __strangers__ opinions on the __internet__ on behavioral subjects based on a short description.
Reddit often gets criticised for it's toxicity but I wonder if it's worthy of note for the number of places that it avoids toxicity. It's a huge petri dish of different communities with different moderation rules and community norms. If a subreddit is failing you then start another one.
Aah yes, I remember the days when our hard drives had hand-written defect maps on them. We keyed that into our Unix partitioner so it ignored those bad blocks. So much fun!
Didn't we learn from past experiences that humanity isn't (and shouldn't) the center of anything? Earth is not the center of the solar system, solar system is not the center of galaxy and the universe don't care about us?

Why assume that we're the "center of the simulation"? Why simulate the whole universe just to simulate us?

Maybe this is about simulate the universe expansion/contraction.

Maybe they are saying:

- hey, look, there is this tiny little simulation quirk here and they found out about the simulation.

- can that little error affect the universe expansion simulation?

- no, they are very marginal, small and useless.

- so keep going.

So, that said: Nick's ideas and books are awesome. Everbody should read it. But I just don't think we are that special, even if we're part of a simulation.
present an emotional scenario in which you look like the victim, no matter what you do, and the majority will get on your side

That is in some ways the point of the subreddit. Many people are acting rationally, if not reasonably, from the facts and mental state available to them. And whoever was making them feel like a jerk and driving them to the site to get a second opinion either couldn't or didn't accept that second set of facts and mental state.

But sometimes even if you tell the story from your own perspective, you're still an asshole. Witness the large number of YTA resolutions: those were people who told their own side of the story and still had the angry mob come after them. The subreddit can't resolve all disputes, but it can identify those cases.
Cool concept. There are examples of behavior change of the hosts by virues and other: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavior-altering_parasite
A more charitable interpretation is that people have gotten into situations bad enough where they've ended up seeking advice from strangers on the internet. (Not every relationship squabble ends up in a reddit post.)
We have similar here in the USA. However, the unit aren't always the same. Usually, but not 100% of the time. Also, it's not clear to me if the per unit price reflects a sale price. For where I shop I don't think it does. They don't bother.

Finally, all well and good but best I can tell most ppl lack the basic math skills and/or desire to make an informed decision. This is why shelf space and ad budgets are still so popular with brands.
yesenadam now I'm curious - what browser are you using? Sounds like something that might be used on AmigaOS or sth?
I think you both raise valid points.

This was an interesting thing to look at to see get a quick idea of how TOTP works.

On the flip side, though, if this we had this hypothetical implementation:

import totp

if __name__ == '__main__':
totp.generate()

Well, we probably wouldn't be here discussing it.
A small number of people are watching large amounts of money flow into their personal checking accounts and campaign fundraisers, and they decide which health and safety issues to focus on.
It's not as simple as "regulation good" or "regulation bad" -- there are plenty of companies that lobby for regulation because they know it will exclude smaller competitors, or ward off lawsuits because they followed the regulations even if people still died, or they want them to get passed while their stooge is in the majority so they can draft the rules themselves and then claim that it was already done last year when someone else wants to do something more effective next year.

There was at one point (not sure if it's still in effect) a government regulation that you couldn't advertise that you had tested all of your beef for mad cow disease, because people would be inclined to favor beef that could make that claim and cause the market to demand a lot of expensive testing.

The problem is that in order to be effective, you need regulations that voters are paying detailed attention to. But that's almost exactly the same problem as getting consumers to pay detailed attention to what they're buying.

> The only thing that seems weird to me is how society was so easily convinced that soaking all our food in poison is OK and not a problem all good thumbs up. That’s really weird.

It's probably more a "tragedy of the commons" type of thing.

If X is detrimental to society but necessary for big players to make more money, then you can bet X will happen. Especially if society doesn't find out immediately about the bad aspects.
> In that case, why bother to simulate the entire Universe? Simulating the Solar System would be sufficient. The night sky could just as well be blank. Perhaps the stars have been included for aesthetic reasons?

Maybe they're just the kind of game designer who obsesses over details, even if those appear superfluous to the core experience. Like say, the makers of Star Citizen. Or Dwarf Fortress.

After all, many games in our own world have far more detail in their world building than we'd ever normally see, often even including stuff that's outside the view of the camera or contingent on the player doing something they'd never normally think of doing.

Alternatively, it could be for future DLC purposes. Or lootbox type gambling mechanics not yet implemented. Or hell, just dummied out 'beta' content. For instance, the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild has every enemy killed instantly by the final boss' laser attack, despite the fact you're never going to encounter a single enemy in said battle. Why? Who knows, maybe it was planned at one point, or left in as a failsafe.

Same could apply to the 'real world' too.
> It's almost like the political thoughs of a leader of most other countries aside from America, are complex and can't really be effectively summed up in a short article

A nice way of saying "hypocrisy is politically useful, especially if you're not called out on it".
It is censorship. Not all censorship is bad. Black Hat has a duty to censor these asshats.
Most profound? Is this for real?

You don't need to spend very long on that subreddit to see that it's just as susceptible to the typical narrow-minded, black and white Reddit justice as every other subreddit. When it's not crystal clear whether the OP is asshole, there is little room for any kind of nuance and people pile on. It's very similar to relationship_advice. Full of people who should be well aware that they don't have the whole story and that life can be complicated, but don't really care, since it's not their life, so it's easy to tell people they're an asshole or that they should break up with their partner of 5+ years or some such.

I think they hang around in the soil and waterways (where insects live) much, much longer than the UV exposed half-life.

What is fascinating is that the partner organization are always referencing other organization in the same "network", so it looks impressive but it is always the same 10-15 people.

For example compare the team https://hiup.org/people/ with https://resonance.is/resonance-academy-faculty/ which is mostly the team of the Robert grant's company https://torustech.com/team/

And going down the rabbit hole, the Time AI trailer has some visual similarity to :

http://getconnected.resonance.is/#

A 2016 documentary pushed by Resonance Academy and Unify about all people being connected, which is also the mantra of torus tech (because obviously they are the same people...)

And if you look at the (paid) delegate program of the resonance academy (https://academy.resonance.is/), in the list of module down the page, you'll find Robert Grant and Adam Apollo.

Here is the module from Robert Grant:
https://academy.resonance.is/language-of-light/

>This course attempts to unlock the mysteries of science and esoterica from a wholistic perspective, combining history and ancient sites, ageless symbology, polymathic philosophy, biology, musical theory and alchemy.

>We also explore the practical application of these mathematical discoveries and how they can be utilized along with hertz EMGR (Electro-Magneto-Gravito-Radiativity) to better understand time, the Inverse Square Law, biology, DNA genotypic and phenotypic expression, vacuum energy and matter transmutation.

So it is all circular referencing, but honestly this is kinda fascinating.
AITA subreddit is full of fake posts that people use to generate fake internet points. Seriously just go there and take a go look at some of the top so called stories right now:

AITA for getting a friend kicked out of school?

WIBTA for telling my boyfriend he probably can’t achieve his dream?

AITA for peeing in places that are not the toilet?

WIBTA if I record the audio of my neighbours having sex and play it back to them?

Really... do you people need any more proof. Those that think ANY of these stories are real, are the same people who think Ancient Aliens is a documentary.
You can add an "extensions.json" file inside of your workspace's .vscode directory with a list of recommended extensions[0]. The first time a new coworker joins the team, he only needs to pull the project and open it in VSCode, the editor will notice the file and prompt you to install the recommended extensions. The same thing can be done in the devcontainer.json file[1].

If you put the remote development extension in the "local" recommended, and the required extensions in the "remote" recommended, the requirements for the onboarding of a new team member boil down to "install VSCode, Docker and docker-compose"

Many years ago I was a fan of /r/personalfinance. To learn a bit but I also missed out on finance advice as a kid and wished that I had some good input, so figured I might be able to help.

But the sub spiraled into emotional stories about why people were so bad off and looking for comfort. Not that that is a bad thing, but a very different content than people looking for finance advice. Since the stories were one sided, it became hard to get useful insight out of it other than just be thankful to be fortunate.

I get the sense that some people are sympathy trolling for fake internet points, but it’s not really possible to tell one way or the other.

So I just don’t read the sub any longer.
I don't think the point of AITA is conflict resolution. On most of the internet people aren't really looking for the answer to a problem. They're reaching out for emotional support, human connection, and a little encouragement that they're not doing everything wrong. Part of the problem with the way many 'technically-minded' people act online is that they don't realise other people are perfectly capable of Googling the answer to a problem but they don't actually want the answer; they want something else.
Has the creepiness formula been somewhat accepted officially? I often see people using it to define the creepiness of a relationship, something I find very weird.
Thanks. It's Orwell writing in 1941 (1) during the WW II about Wells not understanding what the "irrational" leaders like Hitler were able to archive (and more, not everything is about just H. G. Wells there):

... "he could not grasp the tremendous strength of the old world which was symbolised in his mind by fox-hunting Tories. He was, and still is, quite incapable of understanding that nationalism, religious bigotry and feudal loyalty are far more powerful forces than what he himself would describe as sanity."

And:

"The people who say that Hitler is Antichrist, or alternatively, the Holy Ghost, are nearer an understanding of the truth than the intellectuals who for ten dreadful years have kept it up that he is merely a figure out of comic opera, not worth taking seriously. All that this idea really reflects is the sheltered conditions of English life."

(Emphasis mine).

There are enough those who could be associated with these sentences even today. More decades later the world has changed less than I have believed as I was younger.

1) For the context: H. G. Wells published The Time Machine in 1895, died in 1946. Orwel published 1984 in 1948, and was 38 years old in 1941.

That's a bit like saying the iPhone isn't novel because Star Trek: The Next Generation had the PADD.

The article misrepresents Bostrom a bit there, however. Bostrom's argument is not that we 'could be' in a simulation, but that we are so likely to be in a simulation that the probability is essentially 1.
Iterative Deepening A Star
I wrote an academic book several years ago with a traditional publisher. I was supposed to get a royalty of 10% but I probably never understood the legal mumbo-jumbo (it's not something I make significant income out of, so I didn't bother to inform myself much), because the book ended up selling for around $100 (!) while I was getting around one dollar per unit. In the electronic version, I think the price was a bit less ridiculous (around $50) and I was still getting $1 or less per unit.

Other academics I know have similar experiences. So getting 30% of the sales price comparably looks like a good deal to me...
"I don't have enough money and time to join any course or bootcamp." If you don't have time / money how do you expect to learn? There's freecodecamp, udemy, MDN. Start a side project or join an open source project and complete tasks in those projects. You are focused more on the act of learning, and less on the doing of the things you want to learn. Learn by doing. Go make a crappy web project on github and link it to a netlify domain. Takes 10 minutes. Then do it again and again, getting better each time. Go on fiverr and take on some simple HTML projects.

If they can consent and did, it's nobody else's business.

It'd be more accurate to say 'commoditization favoring economies of scale for the sake of anti-competitive oligopolization demands X.' It then takes some PR money to make people 'demand' all the crap.

Addded: the mindless commoditization is abetted by subsidies, including the subsidy of not having to price in negative externalities.

2019 Julia user and developer survey
I’ve taken two writing courses and both professors were best selling authors and claimed not to make a penny besides the advance, even though they made the list.

Writing a book, for the vast majority of authors, is a money losing enterprise that comes back in various other ways. Such as speaking and consulting gigs as a domain expert.

A lot of the books I’ve seen self published on amazon wouldn’t get a juicy book deal anyway. Most of it is garbage and quantity over quality.
Yeah, this trend is pretty lame. For me, now it's often hard to just cut/paste a string to enter a search different tab.
It's not a real demo though, in my opinion. If it was already in a car or used to power a lathe or something tangible, that to me is a prototype. Even a toy car is fine by me. In the video we can guess it's a prototype of a functioning motor. I guess. But let's be honest, there are prototypes for perpetual machines.

A prototype has to be real world functional. Doesn't have to be perfect or clean looking, sleek, etc. Just proves it can do a real world function. If it can't do anything useless yet, it's just a lab experiment or wishful thinking.
