His book on Nietzsche is very good, though a bit controversial since he leans on Will to Power so much.

I've been meaning to write a blog post titled "Nietzsche loves Nokogiri" for the last... five years? Whew... The thesis is that basically, Nokogiri was the right response to the situation with Hpricot. I'm not sure how many Rubyists even remember those days at this point...
My only advice is to get your finances together and have a giant ball of "FU" money so you can afford to quit situations where you're wasting your time. Software engineers have the luxury of making large sums of money, so it shouldn't take too long to get a few hundred K together. Things start to look much more rosy after that.

Just remember to think like a business person. They're doing that. Why not you?
Neither Bosnia nor Rwanda were ever members (or close to becoming one). Turkey is a very special case, so much so that it's still militarily occupying parts of an EU member state while being a NATO member.

The Red Scare and later having millions of loyal voters inside Western Europe are very good playing cards though, and Turkey knows that Europe hates conflict and won't ever go beyond uttering concern.

Speaking of that, can someone explain me how did the West figure that both this and oil imports were a good deal? A book on energy/climate I'm reading[0] is making a point that in the last decades, the West funneled ridiculous amounts of money to oil exporters, which are predominantly authoritarian nations that don't give a fuck about human rights or Western values. And those nations used the money to gain control over companies and assets in the Western nation. The exact same thing can be said about outsourcing manufacturing to China and them using the money to buy Western companies and real estate.

So, what am I missing here? How on Earth was this a good idea?

I don’t know... this is not a “social skills” thing. It’s a very simple rule that should be easy for anyone to follow: never talk to any business who calls you. Ask who they are, hang up, and call the official customer support number. That’s it. No wizardry, charisma, or smooth talking ability needed. Get who they are and hang up.

Personally, I don’t even answer the phone anymore unless the number is one of my contacts. Looking at the last 30 days of call history, a good 95% of my incoming calls were spammers who didn’t leave a message or spammers who did.

The last time a legitimate number called me I didn’t recognize was probably a year ago. It was my daughter’s school. They left a message and I called them back immediately. That’s probably the safest way of dealing with the security trash fire called the phone system.

Is it a bias? I definitely intended to zero in. My bubble is a bunch of podcasts and NYMag articles in which I'm told that the people wanting to shut down speech are doing so to protect ourselves from hateful speech at the expense of expression, discussion, and dissent.

If that is everyone's tool then can we agree that my calling out of one group was bad, but that the sentiment against the idea is correct?

I think you mean "side" as political party or ideology in a way that I don't hold, unless you actually mean siding with "insults should be defined by the insulted" versus "not necessarily."

Can you elaborate on your examples and how they counter something that I claimed? I read both as examples of rhetoric that are best countered by continued discourse and not the false dichotomy presented:

1) you are either permanently an opponent or will accept my idea
2) you are required to engage in violence with me to resolve our difference

Pedantry might as well be correct: calling q2-q4 "the beginning of a closed game" hides the fact that it's also the beginning of many other validated openings: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Chess_Opening_Theory/1._d4

Advancing the queen's pawn 2 squares is a very common first move in chess at all levels. It's disingenuous to call this the beginning of any one of the specific possible openings in the above list.

Using one potential endpoint as the point of reference to anchor to is a classically human thing to do. It doesn’t particularly matter that they chose Closed or Bogol-Alek. It just matters that they conveyed their thought to others with enough accuracy to get the point across.

Asking the question “why did they think of Closed first and not, for example, Bogol-Alek?” is to ask why someone sees a porcupine in a Rorschach blot. Everyone’s mind has different memory anchors, and they are not produced reliably or with regard for logic and reason.

It still worked, though :)

What breeds have you had? My family has two Havanese (https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/havanese/) dogs and they tend to not want more than 20-30 minutes of walking a day. Once you get to that point they get exhausted and want you to carry them. On the other hand my dad's Plot hound will go on walks for hours at a time.

The paper about brake and tire wear you cited receive a Corrigendum about false attribution and conflict of interest because the author works in a motor tech:

The authors regret that as Victor Timmers did not carry out the research under the auspices of the University of Edinburgh, nor in collaboration or consultation with any personnel at the University of Edinburgh, the affiliation of “University of Edinburgh” has now been removed from this work at the request of the Institution. In addition, subsequent to the publication of the Paper, Victor Timmers has disclosed a potential Conflict of Interest with regard to the work, namely: “non-financial support from Innas B.V, during the conduct of the study”.

The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.

The PE "fund" puts in 30-50% equity, largely coming out of LP money. The GPs put in 1-2%. So while the GPs act like managers, they have little skin in the game and aren't liable for the debts they rack up on the PortCo.

Growth equity has seen some success, but the vast majority of PE activity is based around financially engineering a PortCo to transfer value from the PortCo to the fund, regardless of how it wrecks all other stakeholders or the long-term health of the PortCo.
In fact, the system where the password originates from (3BSD) was released in 1979 and had commands like net(1) for "execute a command on a remote machine" - given a password was provided.

I don't really see the problem here, to be honest.

Thoreau wrote that real reading is that which we have to "stand on our tiptoes", and "devote our most wakeful hours" to grasp. The French philosopher Gilles Deleuze believed that we aren't really thinking if we don't struggle with the content. He maybe took it to an overly extreme level in his writing, but I like his general point.

The article cites the increased presence of words such as 'robust’, ‘significant’, ‘furthermore’ and ‘underlying’ as examples of how papers are getting harder to read.

They go on to say,

>The words aren’t inherently opaque, but their accumulation adds to the mental effort involved in reading the text.

The article doesn't sufficiently explain why mental effort is something to be avoided. Or why multisyllabic words are actually bad. Perhaps if one read more texts with lots of multisyllabic words it would get easier over time?

They give a scary example sentence from an abstract (completely taken out of context anyhow):

>Here we show that in mice DND1 binds a UU(A/U) trinucleotide motif predominantly in the 3' untranslated regions of mRNA, and destabilizes target mRNAs through direct recruitment of the CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex.

Well a good reader knows that when you don't know a word, you look it up. If i was reading this paper I would have to look up just about everything in that sentence:

What is DND1?
What is a "UU(A/U) trinucleotide motif??
What is "the 3' untranslated regions of mRNA", what is translation of mRNA for that matter? What does mRNA even do?
What is a target mRNA and what does it mean for one to be destabilized?
What is the CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex?

Would it take me hours to read this paper and gain an incomplete, novice-level understanding of it? Yes. But just in that one sentence I would learn like 1000% more about biology than I currently know.

You do not need researchers to waste time writing a basic biology textbook in every single one of their papers. You need them to communicate their research and get to the point. If the reader wants to understand it they need to put in the work, science will never be easy and devoid of mental effort.

I realize this will not be a popular post as many people value accessibility in science and more widespread science literacy. But I argue that accessibility is not the same thing as easy reading, and a literacy built on purposefully watered down texts is a cheap knockoff of true understanding won through dedicated effort.
i deduced my dad's password when I was a middle-schooler. The uni micro had a teletype and although it did not echo password characters, if you mistyped your password, it would print the mistyped password, and knowing a bit about my dad, I could figure out what the correct password was. I logged in and sent himself an email reminding him to use a better password.

This is precisely why I chose those examples. My keystrokes contain sensitive information—the ability to read them comes with enormous potential for misuse. However, if my keystrokes can't be read, my keyboard isn't useful for much.

At some point, the only way to be truly secure is to switch off the computer—that's why voting should be done on paper ballots! Once a computer is switched on and connected, everything is a tradeoff between usability and security. Personally, I have work to get done.

At what point is Apple the only one able to make useful software? And by the way, while Apple is pretty good at user privacy, they are by no means at the top of my list, particularly after the whole Siri debacle.

>> Artifact had in effect a perfectly reasonable economic model, but players did not see it that way.

I don't think it really did though. Artifact took Magic the Gathering's payment model verbatim (pay for a starter set, pay for booster packs, pay for entrance any activities where you might win more cards) but removed the thing that makes that work for Magic the Gathering: face to face interaction with other human beings at your Local Game Store.
If we compare it vs. it's more direct competition (digital CCGs) it's a worse proposition for the average non/low spending player, but even if we do the kindest thing and compare it against what it's directly copying it's still a strictly worse deal.

That seems unlikely, the general public doesn't read studies. Their knowledge about studies generally comes from articles written about those studies. Sadly those articles are often sensationalized pieces like "Scientists have harvested cells from jellyfish that could allow us to become immortal" and the likes.

I find it far more likely that the mistrust comes from those articles combined with the fake experts that appear on TV. This is less of an issue in Europe, but it does happen here as well.

I get these calls from time to time, and any bank with proper training should be 100% okay with you questioning their authenticity. There are some replies which indicate that the agent is annoyed... That's just poor training.

As for them initiating a phone call, it still does remain the best way to contact someone urgently, usually falling back to SMS and/or email when/if you don't answer (this was our SOP when I was in a fraud detection team years ago). We'd also usually tell them to call the number on the bank of your card (because not everyone is able to look up the bank's website, shockingly, so this is the most universally applicable way to give people a number) but my usual spiel was "call us on the number on the back of your card or from our website".

There's also no real way for you to know that they're legit, but an interesting reassurance one bank I know uses is to provide your month and day of birth and ask you for the year (as just part of the verification process). The partial info probably helps some people but I still wouldn't go for it - too many people know my birthday.

Tho a counter-point can be made to the end that communication providers have been mandated to give law-enforcement special surveillance access for decades already, when most of it was analog. In most countries, these laws are still in effect, and in many there are very much like "API specifications".

On that end there's the inherent expectation of "If we can do it with analog phone, why can't we do it with digital?" by law&order politics. Another big part is also the false assumption that people have a perfect right to privacy.

In theory, people may have a right to privacy, but in practice, communication providers which actually facilitate communication are also bound by government actions [0].

Hi, Farmify! This is a great question. I have designed it with medical data (among other challenging verticals) in mind too. Infact, one of the medical companies we're working with has exactly the same problem as yours: sparse data. High cost and privacy is deflecting them from what can be said as having better ML models fast. For them, we see what can be the generalised anomalies and scale those anomalies up to a background dataset. This helps us take care of the the limitations of the datasets they already have with them.

Not a minimum dataset requirement for now, but yeah- the more the merrier.

That's the thing, you can't ignore how a game feels to the players. In Artifact's case, it has a lot of very up front RNG, but on paper, it's balanced. It just feels unbalanced because people mainly remember when they lost because of bad RNG, not when they won because of it. One of the designers for MtG talked about it, and said that trying to fight human nature in game never works. It doesn't matter how many stats and formulas the designers have that shows that the game is balanced, if it makes players feel bad, they overwhelmingly won't like it.

> It's not like dog people are immortal.

Depends on how many dogs you own. With enough dogs, you can invert your death likelihood stats. Though, I imagine that would mean as you age, you buy more dogs.

Moving to the country seems required to house all of the dogs. Furthermore, the number of dogs would depend on how the math worked on the 76% of risk. Perhaps for true immortality we'd need an infinite number of dogs.

The Kissinger move was more to diminish the power of the Soviet Union, by straying China away from them.

You're right, war is less likely among nations with strongly linked economies. The important thing to note is that, at the same time, the survival self-interest of a county to dominant the other does not go away.

Which means that economic interdependence only helps avoid war so long as war itself doesn't provide more benefits.

China loved the idea that was popular in the the US of "peaceful" rising China, it meant people ignored the long term strategic threats militarily.

China has risen economically, and now they are aiming to have a military more powerful than the U.S..
They are also growing their influence in South America and Africa to get new markets, resources, and ultimately get rid of the dependence on the US market.

So, the dependence helped deter war in the short-term, but the economic gains let China position them better to serve the self-interest of being dominant.
Technically they gain access to his accounts but couldn’t do a transfer. So it was successful in my book.

You can increase your returns by diversifying into uncorrelated assets even if that other asset has returns that underperform the market.

That's why you see the 80/20 stock/bond split recommended so often. Even though bonds underperform stocks, the 80/20 split regularly rebalanced outperforms 100% stocks. Rebalancing is an automatic "buy low / sell high" strategy. After a stock market crash your 80/20 split might be 50/50 so you take that 30% and buy cheap stocks...

The particular methods for making CSS backwards compatible are specific to the web, but the general problems faced by having user display preferences are not. Adding these features to native apps blows up your testing matrix there, too.

In many ways, it's even worse. I've got OS settings here for "increase contrast", "reduce transparency", "use grayscale", "invert colors", and (because areas of native windows can be translucent) even the desktop wallpaper comes into play.

I turned on dark-mode for testing my own app, and I had to turn it off because there's parts of Xcode where the contrast ratio is less than 1.1:1.0. The text is downright invisible. Obviously nobody at Apple would ever intentionally make software like that. They must have simply never thought to test with the same settings as I have.

I personally enjoy the New Yorker and liked the article.

And in college I read “Politics and Modernity”, which does indeed use Nietzsches thought to investigate, well, the politics of modernity.

The author studies political science at Johns Hopkins and so there are at least a few people who would disagree with your statement that Nietzsche has nothing to do with politics of our moment.
