I don’t think that’s fair to say. I signed up for LinkedIn to publish data to the public that I’m comfortable publishing. I understand that this means random jabronis emailing me and put info out accordingly.

I’m not sure how many people feel like me or feel something else. But I don’t think it’s possible to say people post public profiles only for humans to read. I’m really glad my profile gets harvested by google and DDG and have a public email on purpose.
Longer form than EFaP, but Lindsay Ellis has some great film/TV analysis videos. She's usually more focused on writing than anything else, though. Here's a postmortem she did on the Hobbit films, which was recently nominated for a Hugo award:

Other solid works by her include a postmortem on the last season of Game of Thrones and an analysis of themes in Michael Bay's Transformers. (I know that last one sounds weird, but it's really well done.)

Disagree. It brought balance to the game; otherwise it was about getting to the power weapons the fastest. This meant you had meaningful fights all over the map instead of the just clustering around rocket launcher spawn. I also played mostly MLG game modes where you started with battle rifles instead of SMGs, so that might explain some of our disagreement.

Borderware firewall (from back in the 90's and Y2K) was originally called Janus (after the Roman god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages, and endings.) which seemed apropos at the time. But their first big customers were in Sweden, where they kept pronouncing it like "anus." Realizing they'd have this problem all over Europe and most of South America, they changed the name.

That's a founding story that never made it to their website ABOUT page.
I think maybe you and I are just using "certificate" differently. to me, a certificate is very different from a degree. a certificate affirms that a person has a fairly specific set of skills that have been tested against some objective measure. I'm not exactly sure what a degree says about someone, maybe something like "has studied in this field for a while without pissing everyone off to the point where they refuse to work with or teach them".

I can be a certified building envelope inspector if I pass a test that shows I know how to perform an industry standard inspection using the standard tools. I'm not sure there's any meaningful way I could be certified as a software engineer (answering obscure c++ questions? being able to use git?). there's definitely no way I could be meaningfully certified as a historian. I'm sure no matter what I do, it would be controversial whether I was even studying history!

instead of making the study of history less of a special club, maybe we should ask whether it's appropriate for the government to support this endeavor at all?

> The only way I can see to escape this madness with MWI seems to be give up on the notion of truly separate branches, and instead treat these “many worlds” as a stream of overlapping world-ish-nesses in which discrete outcomes don’t actually even exist

That's what it is. A measurement is coupling a quantum event to a statistically irreversible process. The total wave function that results has two major lobes. There's no split on measurement. That's why it's appealing: it makes no reference to classical mechanics in the formulation.
>A huge percentage of the Internet is the same information, repeated over and over again. This is especially apparent on film websites; they call it aggregation but it’s really just a nicer way to say regurgitation.

Man, what an apt way to explain my frustration with the monoculture of the web. But it's creeping into the world of books, where fewer and fewer writers know how to research anything. I cannot tell you the number of books I have picked up lately that cite things they saw on Twitter or gleaned from a Google search.

> Isn't that example nearly zero-sum (ignoring the spread)?

But ignoring the spread is incorrect, and nearly zero sum is not the same as zero-sum. The spread is the fee that market makers earn for a service they provide. You're also not considering other participants. The price changes you're talking about could be driven entirely by end users, or they could be driven by speculators, arbitrageurs, and others who are providing separate services (price discovery, liquidity, balance sheet, arbitrage, etc.) and are also capturing some of the value.

> futures trading is unprofitable[0], except for the market makers

If you are explicitly excluding participants who profit by providing financial services to markets, then you are begging the question.

> Obviously, it doesn't capture non-cash considerations. Starbucks and the farmer both might be thrilled with reduced risk.

Transferring risk can definitely provide economic value (insurance policies exist for this reason), but it should be noted that there are other advantages as well. These futures transactions can help Starbucks manage inventory without needing to maintain large stockpiles of perishable or reduce the volatility of prices charged to consumers.
> in ye olden days there would be a load time when clicking onto the next page - in the modern world performance is likely not a concern or the next page is already loaded and just swapped out in the current view - but it is still disorienting to the user as that action will usually shift their view.

Oh, but there is a visible load time still. Unless you're browsing on a supercomputer with infinite RAM, after a minute or two of scrolling Facebook you'll realize the performance drops fast with the amount of feed you've loaded, while the load times increase. In my experience, both the page slowdown and load delays are about O(n) with respect to the side of the feed, but I haven't measured it precisely.

The most disparaging remark to keeping the distance in Germany will include something along the lines of "Kenne ich Sie?" (Do I know you?). This essentially means "Don't you ever dare to talk to me you piece of HOOOPS!".

I found this especially true in certain social circles. People with some sort of so-called elitist pedigree, traces of former nobility for example, used to react like that. They know each other and strangers are shot down this way.

> Don’t 1099 workers have preferential tax treatments?

It's complicated but the short answer is no. A 1099 contractor can write off a bunch of expenses. But importantly an employer can also write off a bunch of expenses. (like your health insurance) On top of that an employer pays half the FICA withholding where a self employed person pays the whole thing. And also you don't get unemployment as a contractor. And you don't get paid vacation either.

A saw someone claim about 10 years ago that there are more small businesses and self employed people in Europe than the US and government funded health insurance is likely the reason.

What a shame this YouTube channel ended. The videos were insightful and so well put-together. Making a video that is both informative and entertaining at the same time is much harder than it seems.

Are there are other film-related YouTube channels people recommend?

Two I recently discovered:

Mystery Clock Cinema: Film director Alex Proyas ('Dark City', 'I, Robot') talks on camera about independent filmmaking

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYO7h2SOZjRah8bhyOXtGHw/vid...

Ponysmasher: Film director David Sandberg ('Annabelle Creation', 'Shazam!') has a few behind-the-scenes videos and thoughts on filmmaking. The channel is not updated very often, but his most recent video 'Random Lessons Learned from Making Films' is very watchable and has a surprising (and very honest) revelation near the end of the video:

There is definitely inside information on commodities, it's just rare that insider trading on commodities is prosecuted.

You would definitely have an advantage in trading oil/gas futures if you had access to ExxonMobil's seismic exploration reports, for example.
It's definitely a mindfuck but I'm not sure if you can dismiss MWI based on that.

Everything that was intuitive was already discovered. That's why each new theory is harder to visualise than the previous one: newtonian physics, electromagnetism, relativity, quantum physics, etc.

I’ve found that the real value I get out of a nonfiction book is rarely the conclusion or any particular fact found within its pages. Instead, it’s a guide map for how to look at the sorts of things that the book is about and draw the sorts of conclusions that the author finds.

The act of reading a book permanently alters how you think a little bit, so the most important factor in deciding whether to abandon a book is whether or not you want to think more like the author does.

Like any other skill, the sort of thinking that any given book is training you to do benefits from repetition. The variation in the different scenarios also helps make this skill more robust so that you can apply it correctly to more diverse situations.

Fortunately, all this means you don’t need to make much of an effort to actually remember anything the book says— the book’s real value comes from subtlety altering the way you think which will happen so long as you’re attending to what you read. The later chapters should be easier and more relaxing to read because you’re familiar with the pattern of the author’s argument and they act more like a mental exercise than anything else.

This is so infuriating. Many people will die during this extended hemming and hawing.

Humans have driven countless important species to extinction with no thought, but we have to vacillate over a species that is responsible for more deaths than all the wars in human history combined?

My only reservation about driving the mosquitoes to extinction with a gene drive is that we can't guarantee that the mosquitoes will suffer.
I would so much rather lose my twitter account where:

a) I don't use twitter, so it's a loss of minimal proportions

b) It's twitter's fault and easily prevented by them

Sure, a) won't be applicable to all services because there are services I actually use that my life revolves around. However, the only service I can think of that would disrupt more of my life than losing my phone number is verified 2FA secured and does not have this vulnerability.

I would actively avoid a carrier that promotes this policy and think it's naive to assert that it's even remotely viable.
> Edit: I see lineage has a ROM for FF2 giving it Android 8.1. That wasn't there when I used my FF. It may have given me a good experience.

The LineageOS 16 OS is based on AOSP / Android 9.x Pi; not 8.x Oreo. That was LineageOS 15.

(We also don't use the acronym "FF"; we use the acronym "FP".)

> I had a fairphone about three years ago (I'm guessing fairphone 2). [...] There were no custom ROMs for it either - hopefully there are now.

I have a Fairphone 2 (FP2) for 4 years, and what you say is untrue. There have been alternative OSes for Fairphone for ages. Fairphone delivered a version of FPOS called Fairphone Open. It is Android without OpenGapps.

The OSes which have been around the past 4 years on FP2:

* SailfishOS (community edition)

* FirefoxOS [now defunct]

* Ubuntu Touch

* LineageOS (for approx 2-3 years?)

* /e/ (more recent, but also a newcomer)

* PostmarketOS (more recent)

Source: [1]

Especially the SailfishOS port has been around for ages, by community member mal (who now works for Jolla). Ubuntu Touch I'm not sure about when that was released, but it was the main development device for UT.

Assuming good faith on your behalf, are you sure this was 3 years ago? From the information you post, it was likely 5 years ago or so, and a Fairphone 1.

That's not true, since CAs don't have "the keys to decrypt all traffic." They have the ability to sign website operators' public keys, but they do not have access to the website operators' private keys.

"In order to remove the password block you will need either to visit the one of our banks or call us."

Logging to Garanti requires 2FA. You can either use your password + SMS, or your password + one time code generator, in the past there was also password + mobile sign.

In Turkey 2FA is required by law in banking. This law is in action since for, I think 5-6 years.

Also, it is easy to implement this "notify the bank if SIM has changed" because all the banks (except few state banks which are in Ankara) and mobile operators (3) are all located in Istanbul.
I don’t think that’s correct. As long as you didn’t collude in the illegal act, it’s legal in the entire US. Not sure about other countries.

This came up most recently in the Manning/ Snowden leaks as while the leaks were illegal, using the info is not illegal. There was a lot of press and here’s a decent post by a law professor explaining legality, https://jonathanturley.org/2016/10/17/cnn-it-is-illegal-for-...

Data is different from stolen property in that it isn’t property. Once data is made public it is no longer proprietary so it can be used legally even if it was originally obtained illegally. This is different if you were paying for non-public stolen data, but no one here is talking about that.
It is, sadly, far more complex than that.

It is more an issue of crony-ism and paralysis.

When corbyn's facebook profile was first linked to some AS post, a party that was functioning would have gone through all the groups he's a member of, and all past comments and removed anything that would ahve potentially been a problem.

They did not. After the first incident where he was tagged in a some post raving on about the "banking elite" or some other trope, there was at least a 6month time lapse before the press discovered his comment on the famous banking mural.

Add that to the backdrop of Livingston being a total tool, and not being censured at any speed, you begin to form a narrative.

mix in the total lack of press control, planning or indeed engagement, you get this mess. Thats without the total perversion of the discipline system (where you can be Richard Burgon, caught lying on national TV about what you said about Zionism, and not be disciplined, but admit you voted for another party and you are instantly expelled.)

All of this could have been managed, if the corbyn "brain trust" had actually bothered to think about the outside world.

Now, Let us not for a moment think that labour are alone in having a *ism problem. The conservative can't stand islam, anyone with an accent, or someone with a "whiff of the colonies". The Libdems can't abide gay marriage (which is deeply ironic)

Look, I voted corbyn the first time, because I thought he was actually competent. He however is not, has shrank back from the press, surrounded himself with posh boys who think they are working class, or dinosaurs from the 80s.

To blame this AS stuff on Isreal is just peak bullshit. If they had simply audited Corbyn's facebook pages, and kicked out the noisy unhinged twats banging on about the jews, we'd never have got here.

Is it just supposed to be self-evident that those inferences are unreasonable?

I've always thought that this was an interesting argument. If there is some form of correlation with beer consumption and and car accidents, wouldn't it make sense to adjust your estimated risk based on that information?

I do find it self-evident that that would be a bad thing, but I also have a hard time putting my finger on why.
