My wife is very much addicted to Instagram. Every date, every vacation, pretty much anything we ever do for fun is dictacted by what someone already did and posted to Instagram.

Sometimes, it feels like she has zero independent thought of her own. When we go somewhere on vacation, I suggest we go check out certain places I believe would be nice. If that place is not on Instagram, it gets deprioritized to the point where in most instances, we end up running out of time and not going there.

I make good money, so it's actually possible if we wanted to, to go do most of what she sees on Instagram, but not all. So I take her to do most of the things.

But that feeling of disappointment, sadness and anger towards me, that she gets, when I say that one last thing is too expensive for us - that breaks my heart every time. Until that point, she's in dreamland - living out every experience she sees on Instagram. And that first experience she sees, that I refuse to take her on - her entire dreamland comes crashing down, and I would be solely responsible for that.

I am competing with celebrities most of the time, and they probably make a lot more money that I do. It's hard to keep "her" wants satisfied. Because it's not her wants at all. It's the everyone she sees on Instagram - the union of their wants.

On a related note - what happened to the Netflix recommendation engine after they awarded the $1M prize for a 10% improvement to their already pretty good recommender? Did they just throw the whole thing out the window?
Some would see narcan as more like deploying car airbags - good that it's kept you alive, but if you need them routinely you should probably think twice before getting behind the wheel.
Yeah, 100% agree. I love the idea of the service and would happily pay for something 50% as good today which is improving vs stagnating.
Joi Ito Resigns from M.I.T. Media Lab After Outcry over Jeffrey Epstein Ties
Sure, and claims that socialized healthcare systems don't wreck the economy are definitively falsified by the existence of Cuba.

Or....the counterfactual isn't "arbitrary country without socialized healthcare (or history of psychedelic use)" , it's a hypothetical Cuba minus socialized healthcare (or a hypothetical Peru minus psychedelic use).

Your conclusion is not remotely how basic logic works.
Yes it is. Those comments will be voted out. Asking this question in a separate thread is feeding the trolls. We as a community should know and act better. I am downvoting above comment as well.
It must be somewhat hard to read, because no one has yet noticed the missing word on the front page ("get a list of suggested books to read").

But I like it.
Is any OS vendor working on something like that? Or do you expect Moz to jump into OS dev as well? I'd expect them to import settings from OS as soon as a major OS provides this for DoH.
1) I like about 75% of the recommendations I get, which is pretty good compared to other recommendation sites I've used.

2) I love the fact that Goodreads has an old-fashioned feeling. Modernizing it would mean a front-end JS framework - making it buggy and obnoxiously slow to use on my old laptop or phone - and a lot of aesthetic features that reduce usability. Oh, and probably light-grey text on a slightly-lighter-grey background, making it a strain on my eyes. Modern internet is meant to look good, pop on a resume, and have little or no functionality or substance.

I genuinely hope the people at Goodreads ignore this article.
How exactly do you expect Mozilla to "work on encrypted DNS at the OS level"? How does Mozilla make Microsoft/Apple/Google implement it?
In principle, non scholae sed vitae discimus. Prioritizing anything becomes pathological when we lose sight of the benefit for which it is worthy of prioritization. In practice, non vitae sed scholae discimus, because we make degrees, credentials, and zero-sum competitions a goal and forget the true goal, which is a life well lived, for everyone, not just the top N% of the class.
Yes. The phrase "certain countries shouldn't even try" is a pretty big clue.
Idaho has a very small tax base, so they have to tax what's there at a higher rate. At the same time, what a lot of people like about Idaho is vast amounts of wilderness and unspoiled nature. If somebody loves to hike in the mountains, they're sooner going to pay 7% income tax and live in Idaho than move to Florida or Texas. It's the luxury of choice that someone making 100k/year in Idaho can afford.

I cannot believe they have any kind of recommendation engine? I just see offered more seasons the same shows I watched, or shows with similar words in the title regardless of topic. I cannot believe they have even 10% success rate recommending movies, much less improved it by that much.

The article addresses this hypothesis:

> Other factors, such as a massive storm, heavy currents, or even marine animals, were ruled out as potential causes owing to the weight of the instrument.
> News flash, absolutely no one care about chrome breaking the web because Google owns the web.

No they don't. Eight out of the Top Ten websites are not owned by Google.

If Chrome became the browser that broke major websites all the time, people would switch really quick.

> Just lookup how they hamfisted their autoplay into the ecosystem despite breaking every website.

It didn't break "every website", because most websites never had any obnoxious autoplaying media to begin with.

Popup Blockers also broke "every website" that had the guts to open pop ups, most of which were not solicited by the user.

In either case, strong user preference was behind these changes. It didn't need some consortium of conflicting interests to standardize acceptable website behavior.

If users didn't matter and it was all about Google's interests, you wouldn't have adblockers in Chrome. You wouldn't be able to watch Youtube flawlessly without ever seeing any ads.

I think at high latitudes the problem is not the total amount of natural light, but the number of hours it shines in a day. Also, other power sources like wind or hydro could be abundant in areas like this. I don't think these technologies make sense because they are better than having to transport food at longer distances, but for some crops it may be quite nice to have it really freshly available at the doorstep, especially crops that normally comes from quite far.

It's not just supporting. Taking a neutral stance on censoring these things, or not being adequately proactive on hate speech, is now seen as condoning. You either censor your user base, or upstream will censor you. Gone are the days of "The net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it." The new policy is "The net interprets wrongthink as noise and filters it out."

If anyone is curious, according to 1up Health:

Apple Health via Healthkit recently introduce the ability to pull individual patient health records from hospitals and clinics using the same FHIR functionality as 1upHealth. (Note that Apple Health does not support all the health systems supported by 1upHealth) That patient data is stored on the device and does not natively support a cloud or RESTful API experience. That is a limiting experience because you cannot query your patient data across populations or for specific items within their medical record. To enable a cloud based functionality, you can push the FHIR healthcare records from the user's device to 1upHealth and store it in our cloud backend enabling your applications to interact with the data in a RESTful manner. Star by creating a free 1upHealth developer account. Then follow the other steps below.

It's disingenuous to argue that an entity like MIT should behave morally, because they're only looking out for themselves and not thinking about optics?

> If the assets were part of a crime, the government has all the tools in the world to freeze those assets even if I don't agree with that ability either.

I'm not arguing that the government was incapable of doing its job. I believe, like many others who watched the Alex Acosta scandal unfold, that the government intentionally gave him a lenient sentence, for reasons we don't fully understand. MIT knew this and actively worked to keep his relationship with the school private. Why would they keep the relationship private if they didn't think what they were doing was wrong? Or are you arguing that MIT Media Lab is only permitted to act only for its own interests, even if that means working with people who was charged and convicted of sex crimes? The public shouldn't care when a known sexual predator forms secret financial relationships with a high-profile university? The guy had his own private cabin at a prestigious music summer camp for kids in the '90s.[0] This dude was a predator, but you're essentially arguing that the public has no right to know who MIT, an entity that relies heavily on public funds[1], chooses to take money from? Taxpayer funds go to pay the people working with the predators, how on earth is that not the public's business?

Energy isn't vertical farmings only issue. The fact that you cannot grow staple crops like wheat, soy, or rice indoors is the major issue. Most of what these farms are best suited to grow can be considered "crunchy water" and not nutritious enough to feed a planet.

That isn't necessarily a robust analysis of cost trade offs. A good example of how this can be inaccurate is Texas which has a reputation as a relatively low tax state, but in order to fund its considerable road network levies extremely high property taxes which in turn trigger higher rents than might be expected. New Hampshire has a similar situation with low taxes being made up for with high property taxes which pay the cost of rebuilding the roads which are ripped up seasonally by frost heaves and geologic activity.

Ultimately people demand basic services which have to be paid for. Eliminating one source of funding may reduce the overall burden but more likely simply shifts funding.
I don’t think you should accept bastardizations of terms into your lexicon.

Yes, acknowledge when someone means “micromanaging” when they say “agile”, and act accordingly. But don’t redefine the word in your own head, otherwise how can you even speak?

Like, what word do you use now for the basic principle of agile development now that you’ve changed it to mean micromanagement in your head?
I think you should categorize them into:

But are they? It's important to vote, but realistically what are you accomplishing for yourself or anyone else by keeping up on things everyday.

Let's even use Brexit as an example. For the average everyday person in England, brexit is a huge deal. But what benefit is there to the general population to keep up with every twist and turn of political maneuvering? In the end it's important to vote smart. Voting smart can br done via checking up on current events once a week if not once month. Things really do not move as fast as online news and social media will lead you to believe. Brexit is taking years to happen. But if you keep up with the news you might think everyday is the brink of doom or salvation. When in fact the average person has months or possibly years between actionable events.
Netflix Prize Rules for Improvements to Cinematch (Ended in 2009)
I guess my story was unnecessary, but I commented that I didn't read the article the way the person I responded to (and the person above him as well). I don't understand why the top rated comment is worded in a way that sounds like the article was bashing slack because the Author of the article doesn't understand how to focus...when I read the article and saw nothing that led me to believe the top level comment was on topic. So I commented.

If I am ok to carry on this tangent we are already on, I cannot wrap my head around a scenario where it would be appropriate for a member of a SaaS company, dev/PM/CTO/QA or what have you to be in a slack channel for one of their clients. It's completely unprofessional and should be avoided.

The political issue is the NYC subway is used by NYCers, but the organization that runs the NYC subway (MTA) is run by the state government.

And in state politics setting money aside for city transit is not popular, despite the city being the engine of the state economy. Further, NYC being nearly the only city in the entire US where a car free existence is possible, non NYC residents often can’t fathom why non car improvements are valuable.
Even on luxury housing the profit margin isn’t great.

It isn’t really possible to “invest” in affordable housing without significant government subsidies. After all the difference between a normal apartment building and a luxury one is what? Hiring a concierge and buying a brushed metal fridge for the apartments instead of a white one? It doesn’t actually cost much different.

Isn't that a good thing, if you want people to have everything they need in their own neighborhood, rather than needing to commute 20 miles for a Costco and another 10 miles for a latte?

Good. Here’s a particularly damning passage from Ronan Farrow’s New Yorker article [1]:

> According to Swenson, Ito had informed Cohen that Epstein “never goes into any room without his two female ‘assistants,’ ” whom he wanted to bring to the meeting at the Media Lab. Swenson objected to this, too, and it was decided that the assistants would be allowed to accompany Epstein but would wait outside the meeting room.

> On the day of the visit, Swenson’s distress deepened at the sight of the young women. “They were models. Eastern European, definitely,” she told me. Among the lab’s staff, she said, “all of us women made it a point to be super nice to them. We literally had a conversation about how, on the off chance that they’re not there by choice, we could maybe help them.”

Ito worked with someone whom his staff suspected of continuing to traffic women — right there in their own office.

He also enriched himself from this relationship. From this NYT article:

> Mr. Ito acknowledged this past week taking $525,000 of Mr. Epstein’s money for the lab, as well as $1.2 million for his personal investment funds.

Truly despicable.

Thanks! I appreciate your points.
Land usage and pollution. No pesticide/fertilizer runoff and no need to clear forest, much less land used per pound of food. Plus you can theoretically grow in cities-add a couple floors in skyscrapers and your cities become a little more self sustaining.

You're also not tied to variations in weather, meaning more consistent yields and substantially smaller likelihood of crop failure. And you're saving labor of tilling/planting, as well as the significant equipment/fuel costs and associated outages that go with outdoor farming.

There might also be automation benefits, easier to design an assembly line around your indoor grow setup with consistent lighting conditions for visual processing, but I'm not sure about this one.
