I'd been expecting "peak office". "Peak factory worker" was in the 1970s in the US. I'd expected that, with everything being computerized, total office employment would decline as well. Didn't happen.

Why is an interesting question.

If you don't mind a bit of work (weekly rinsing) and discarding part of the water, I'd recommend a reverse osmosis filter. They're reasonably cheap and beat the crap out of all the alternatives for non-professional users. You'll essentially have to add back some salts after the filtration process to turn it into something that won't demineralise you.

Yes, and it would improve the taste. If you like San Pellegrino, you can get a similar taste at much lower cost by adding "Burton Salts" (a blend of salts meant to imitate the water of Burton on Trent, which is famously well suited for making pale ales, widely available from brewing suppliers) to soft water.

And people have made spreadsheets to help with cloning specific mineral waters with the exact blend of salts, e.g.:

It's unlikely that this would matter to most people, but leaving the computer sleeping rather than hibernated or shutdown partially defeats any full disk encryption. Recovering keys from RAM is possible for a short period of time after power is removed. [1] Microsoft suggests disabling sleep when using bitlocker encryption. [2] And it is similarly suggested that Ubuntu use suspend-to-disk (hibernate) rather than suspend-to-RAM (sleep) when utilizing full disk encryption. [3] For better security leave the computer shutdown when not using it.

Interesting article.

A nitpick however: "American Psycho" is not really a serial killer movie, is it? In fact, it's debatable whether any killing occurs at all. (Of course, the embarrassing sequel completely misses the point, from what I've read -- and I refuse to watch it).
I remember Street Fighter 2 being something like $69 (in ~1992 USD) when it came out, and it was something like 16 meg. A 48 meg ROM would have easily been $100+ if not $150.

I think the biggest takeaway from gig economy "gig brokerage" platforms is that many people would rather take direction from an app than a human manager (conjecturally, for psychological reasons). If more traditional companies (retailers, businesses with other large output-oriented workforces, etc.) figured out a way to introduce this sort of algorithmic management model that works for them to either hide or replace management while also augmenting it, I feel like a great deal of middle-management bureaucracy could end up eliminated.
Why does ADHD prevent someone from making a blog post, and how does posting it on twitter change that? Sincerely curious.
I feel quite the converse..

..I accept twitter is here to stay, but always thought it was a a pointless snippet-fest good for nothing aside from millions being able to pile on praise/social-shaming.

Looking at this thread, it actually makes sense for once. It's a successive sequence of info & pictures - that follow a coherent thread. Great, just like any other blog.

Eventually, the animal will stop trying to avoid the stimulus and behave as if it is utterly helpless to change the situation.

Isn't this what enabled the Brexit?

I mean, you can show people ads about "Are you an immigrant? Claim your government-sponsored house. We will help you to qualify even if you don't meet the criteria" and now you conceived the idea that the government is giving away free houses to immigrants and there's even a way to cheat the system and get a house even if you do not qualify.

As far as I remember they essentially divided people into categories through data gathered through facebook and targeted them with ads like this.

I guess if you can manage to put the cookie to identify your target you can run all kind of manipulative campaigns because you can change the perception of the reality.

You don't have to be honest and straightforward and speak directly to the target. Simply re-shape his/her reality.

Want a rise? Stalk your boss with ads about developer jobs with salaries way higher than yours. Your boss might start getting the idea of pay rise due to the false reality you prseented.
No. Let's use the $50k bail example. If the guy returns, you are up 19%. If he disappears you're -100%. It will take you 5 more good behaviors just to get back to zero. So you need less than 1/6 fleeing to make any profit at all.

I think they meant an illuminated room, but with absolutely no light being reflected by the wallls/floor/ceiling etc.

So all the visual spatial cues would be missing, despite being illuminated, like being in an infinite space. I could see how that might be disorienting and strange feeling.
Dev side of the business myself, so just perception of the mechanics why self-service may be unattractive for the sales team:

From a sales perspective you would typically optimize for fewer false-negatives (people not buying even though the solution would be valuable for them) at the expense of more false-positives (you wasting time trying to convince people who have no value and therefore don't buy in the end).
Self-demos lead to people self-selecting themselves out without sales being able to influence this (explain the lead maybe just misunderstood a feature in the self-demo etc).

Besides typical sales bonus structures reward converted leads which the sales person did convert, not avoided churn after self-signup which customer success gets credit for.
People keep forgetting that there are two parts that ought to be (as) secret (as possible) in authentication.

This is why major organisations don't allow usernames to be name_surname or nsurname. They pick random usernames. I remember when I was a student my username was a random string with characters and numbers.

This makes it more difficult to hack my account (without prior knowledge, shoulder surfing, etc.) since it was highly unlikely you could guess my username and my password.

> Most of us realise that fucking children is wrong because it's harmful to those children. We don't need to be told this.

Do you imagine you were born with that belief?

For most of human history, and in much of the world today, people believed otherwise, certainly about 17 year olds (the age in question here). It's not something people just know.

It's something people come to know either through careful thought (like Stallman) or simply because they accepted what they were told (the "most of us" you've described).
Your desire to replace the meta-discussion of "politics" with reduction to a highly-emotional framing of a pet issue ("jailing children") is an excellent example of why the politicize-everything mindset is so corrosive.
Bravo!

It's also misleading in that at least 7 of the data points have not traded publicly for a full year, and one of them has literally only traded for one day. And, there's no adjustment for market conditions. So it's as valuable as plotting the average height of a cornstalk at harvest, but using one that was just planted, one that was planted a month ago, 3 that were planted 4 months ago, 2 that were planted 8 months ago, and 7 at harvest (3 of which in a drought year, 3 in a record setting year, and one in an average year).

Took some poking around to piece together a real answer, but the ion exchange component in a standard Brita filter (or similar pour-through) isn't the right kind to trap chromium (mostly just zinc, copper, and cadmium). You either need a higher-grade ion exchange filter (you can search for "Chromium 6 Water Filter" on Amazon) or a reverse osmosis system.
Your position is that Biden, on tape, bragged about getting the investigation cancelled, but he was exaggerating how big his role was, because it was the Obama administration policy to get it cancelled? I find that laughable. It sounds like you're looking for any rationale, no matter how far-fetched, to make Biden not have done what he clearly said he did.

Mind you, I'm a "both/and" kind of guy here. If it was improper for Biden to use the threat of withholding US aid to get the investigation cancelled, it is also improper for Trump to use the threat of withholding US aid to get the investigation restarted.

What I need to see, though, is something on Trump that's closer to what Biden said. Biden outright said he did it. Trump... if you read the transcript through "Trump is a horrible person" glasses, of course he's implying that he'll withhold US aid if Ukraine doesn't do what he wants. If you don't read it that way, though, if you don't assume that's the subtext, it's less clear that he's actually threatening.

The impedance mismatch is just too high. I haven't been doing this that long, and I've already seen multiple cycles of outsourcing functions, dissatisfaction with the quality, speed, and communication overhead of the outsourced services, then bringing the functions back in-house locally. Then a year or two passes, new directors or VPs come in, and the cycle begins again.

It's a lot of churn. One result is that I see with my enterprise customers is that they end up with a lot of the more expensive, experienced people getting thinned out in each of these cycles - IBM is one that is somewhat infamous for this.

The other that I see is a death of specialization. There aren't really dedicated network engineers, or ops specialists, or DBAs, or security experts in most companies anymore; everybody is a short-timer that is thrown into the mix and making things up on the fly. And these are Fortune 500 companies, not fly-by-night SMBs.

> People forget the U.S is a democratic constitutional republic.

Honestly I'm not sure who forgets this, considering how this point is brought up any time anybody wants to criticize the electoral college (as far as I see, anyways).

Regardless of why it is the way it is, in my opinion the electoral college is an absolute garbage implementation of a federal election.

Some states are vastly better represented than others because of "swing state" game theory. A third party is not viable except as a spoiler.

States are incentivized to implement first past the post voting from a game theory PoV because if you're a swing state you want to stay a swing state as it is financially and politically beneficial, and if you're not a swing state you don't want your solid blue/red state giving up even one delegate to the opposing party.

On top of that, the entire goal of the electoral college was that we would vote for electors we trust and those electors would handle voting in a President. Yet we don't even do that, we vote for a presidential candidate and an elector is chosen to carry that vote out to the national level! Presidential elections are poorly implemented direct democracy masquerading as federalism.

How can you even answer any of these questions except with fluff and bullshit if you want to be hired? Google is supposed to be a data-driven company, but it's impossible to extract any information out of bullshit, bullshit by definition is orthogonal to observable reality, it is neither truth, nor falsehood, it's pure empty words.
You can't control what news outlets print. They will use the language that their readers use. If you want them to stop using "nerd", you need to offer a superior alternative.

I can't speak from experience, but I can try to relay how I understand it from others. Part of the pattern of behaviour some people with ADHD describe is intense focus on topics, with no sense of when or what topics this will happen to. So someone may be intending to only post one or two tweets worth of interesting notes on enhancement chips, but find themselves going on and on without realizing that they've just spent an hour talking about the topic. They never intended to create blog-length material on the topic, but there it is.

The converse happens too: they can desperately want to write a long form article on a topic, and just can't find themselves starting it. The blank blog page is imposing and they don't know where they would start and maybe they'll distract themselves for a minute with something and whoops now they're very focussed on that distraction for a few hours.

I'm sure there's a lot more subtlety to this than I'm describing, and there's a real diversity of peoples' experiences with this, but there's one way that I understand it can lead to this situation.
I remember 10~ years ago when I worked in the U.S., every month I'd get an envelope with a check. I'd stop by my bank on my bike ride home to deposit it.

It's not sad, it's great.

The history of science is full of drama where most issues took multiple generations to resolve. It's easy to forget, in those interim periods, people would build all kinds of castles on total BS all the time that cost society in so many ways.

Today stuff gets resolved faster and that's a good thing. People, qualified or not, who get carried away by hype or bias look foolish much much faster. And thanks to how hard it is to erase mistakes from the internet good luck rebuilding lost cred.

From a functional perspective, this of course doesn't make any sense. But from an imperative perspective it does.

A common use for closures in imperative languages is to have custom control structures similar to `if`, `for`, `while`, etc. And in imperative languages mutating values is very important, if you want a new control structure you have to be able to mutate your surrounding variables.

Smalltalk only uses this kind of control structures based on closures. Ruby also uses this a lot, it even changes the meaning of `return` in closures (blocks) to return not from the closure but the enclosing function.

Stout claim.

Hot take - when it's all said and done (e.g. when the whole fund gets returned) the vision fund is going to devalue more companies than it is going to value them. If they're charging a management fee then they'll still make money but their LPs aint gonna be happy in the long term.
True, I meant superlocal news as in "there's going to be repairs on the street by the church" and what stores are closing down or opening up. I only get those from our local govt site and some private blogs, the local newspaper has changed hands a few times and is now just one outlet of a large corporation that runs the same articles in hundreds of local papers.
Classifying that situation is an interesting little puzzle with many judgement calls. The discussion can't take place because the two parties are using fundamentally different languages - A is asserting that in order to respect A the dialogue must take place in A-language. B is asserting that in order to respect B the dialogue must take place in B-language.

Making the language of communication a negotiating aspect strikes me as an almost rookie error; both sides surely have something that they care more about than wobbles of air that make up sound. The first person to compromise on language will probably have a slight advantage in any following negotiation, because they started with a respectful concession and can reasonably ask for something in return. Eye on the prize, and all that.

The usual issue with identity politics is that there is a move to compel a specific language without acknowledging that for some people that represents a compromise. Typically the compelling is to be done on behalf of people who look like power-seekers and likely authoritarian. Not the sort of people who it is a good idea to give power to; they aren't negotiating types.

SAT solvers are something I would like to use more, but I feel like I simply never come across real world problems that they work well with. I've tried to use them for program/circuit synthesis, but the problem was intractable at any scale larger than a tiny proof-of-concept example.

Does anyone have good suggestions for what to use SAT solvers for?
In the 2016 campaign I referenced Clinton endorsements vs total endorsements. "No endorsement" received over 3x as many endorsements as the republican candidate. Also don't oversample from the 2016 election. One of the candidates literally referred to journalists as "enemy of the state". Probably not shocking that many journalistic outlets would rather endorse nobody than a candidate like that. Even going back 4 years you did not see that pattern.

According to Wikipedia, in 2004 the democratic candidate got 52% of the newspaper endorsements. In 2008 the democratic candidate got 62%. These are far from perfect measures but again, if 90% of journalists were in fact democrats then my guess is the number of newspapers that endorsed democratic candidates would be much closer to 90%, and it clearly isn't.

The total donations really aren't really convincing because clearly the vast majority of journalists donate to nobody, so you really don't know exactly what the preference is for the median journalist. I'd also be interested in the stats for 2012, 2008 and previous elections before making any conclusions.
