It only counts as cheap if the value of those 4 hours/day of sedentary activity is greater than $4. Many would argue that it is not. But I understand you're saying that relative to other forms of entertainment it's "cheap", I'm just questioning the price relative to the value of the product itself.

Also, I know a lot of people argue that watching TV can maybe relieve stress in some way, or allow them to "wind down" after a "long day" at "work", but I'm not sure you need to wind down for four hours (not saying you are saying that).
Awesome list!

Exactly. Sure, some of the customers of these products are simply mismanaging their finances, a great deal of them are simply not getting enough value for their labor. How do we get to a form of capitalism that works for all people? Not an easy answer for sure.

> Adobe Animate used to be a thing, but that got sunset years ago.

Adobe Animate received two feature updates last year and at least one bug fix update this year.

So, it's not dead yet. Maybe wait until after Adobe MAX (which starts in a few days) to write its obit?
I disagree. Unless the maintainer refuses to accept pull request adding new feature/fixing the issue, there is nothing wrong about working primary on things that concern the maintainer. Maintainer is not some sort of slave who must rush to fulfil every wish of the user.

if this isn't the work of a viral marketing company, they certainly have the possibility of a new line of work ahead of them after this. I can't remember seeing a viral marketing campaign as effective as this in a long time.

edit: this comment is apparently oddly controversial for a startup-oriented forum. Perhaps someone could explain why? They have really struck marketing gold in a way most small companies would envy.
Personally, It's a game I love to hate. growing up near a large lake, I got to see these flying rage machines up close, and to play as one opened up a part of my brain I had closed up for years.

When those jobs are automated, what will the human workers do, will they leave that company? I'd enjoy doing something else if that was my job, but if there was a more useful job there, wouldn't they already be doing it? This is in summary why I think more automation will lead to some people losing their jobs - if there was a more profitable alternative for a company (more productive, paid as well or better?) then wouldn't the company already have automated it?
While I agree with your point around how loan programs work with the poorer parts of our population, the headline explicitly states:

America’s Middle Class Is Addicted to a New Kind of Credit

I think in the case of the middle class, it's not really about survival, it's about living below/at/beyond your means, and whether these loans are doing too good a job of masking the real costs.

I would partially agree with that. An elected official has incentive to remain popular, or a challenger will win the next election. But in the US, much (most?) of the "government" is non-elected bureaucracy that doesn't even change with a change in the party in control.

Autopilot has caused me more near-misses than it has prevented. And I only use it on the highway.

The statistic would be more useful if 1) only compared to similar driving conditions, and 2) driver is not allowed to intervene. As long as the human is there to save things when autopilot goes pear-shaped, it's impossible to say how safe autopilot really is.

I mean, can't you say that for any large group of people? You can't easily evaluate who's pulling the most weight at Google either. But that's not a problem, because the people at Google deciding promotions do know, and that's what matters. CERN works like that, as does experimental physics at large.

I'm mostly okay with it, though the deployment plan isn't the proper place for what's essentially a referral code.

Hashicorp is facilitating the purchase of Azure products, and deserves a cut of the revenue. But this should be handled on the account level, either on sign-up or as an account field (a-la Amazon Smile)

I'm less okay with the tracking for analytics purposes, but if Terraform finds some way to make it easy for me to tell cloud providers who sent me, that seems fair.
Theres literally no education about personal finance in high school. And I went to a fancy high school, graduated in 2018. College too. The only thing I've seen is the Wells Fargo booth at the yearly club fair trying to sign up new students for credit cards.

And we wonder why so many americans live in poverty. Yeah the system is far from perfect, but I think basic classes in high school would be a great start to the problem, and could change the issue of generational poverty.
Do you have a link to some docs supporting that? How exactly is revenue tied to usage?

After hearing about how great ios was I finally bought the new ipad after being android only for years (I had an ipod touch years ago). Maybe I've just been into the Android ecosystem too long but there are a lot of things about ios/ipados that I just can't stand.

How is there no way on ios to just see a list of all the apps I have installed? Having to spend time thinking about where an icon should be or if it it should be in a folder or not seems to antiquated. Someone told me i could swipe to search for an app but as the article says that is totally undiscovered.

I can't install an app from a web browser on my desktop computer? I guess I took for granted that you could just go to the google play store and have an app installed on your phone or tablet.

People always talked about how bad apps looked on android tablets because they weren't designed for tablets. I never noticed it but I can say the way ios does it is not better. Having the app in a little window with a huge black border? Ok, so you expand it but there are still black bars on the sides? How is that better?

I know that with recent versions of android that google has been moving away from dedicated back button but I am in the habit of flicking up to get the back button and using that. I know you can swipe from the left to go back but I'm just not used to that.

Is there a way to stop apps from begging for reviews and notification access? I know I could do that on android but I don't know how to do it on ios.

While it is true that nobody forces you to work for low pay - there is definitely misleading advertising at play.

Most young people that pick science do not understand the "real" rules of science, and what it takes to "succeed". Being a good, reliable, hard-working scientists will not ensure your success.

Whereas in many if not most jobs, being good at the job itself usually suffices.
That's a perfectly valid definition of opinionated, and it measures another aspect of a language.

Languages have a lot of aspects.

I used this aspect because upthread we were discussing memory management and "portable assembly". In another context I'd happily use this concept instead.
I started my professional programming career working in Pascal on the Mac. I clearly recall having to write one piece (a MIDI driver) in assembly. I have fuzzier memories of the interfaces using a rather explicitly Pascal-based string format and stack calling convention, and MPW was also Pascal-oriented rather than C-oriented, so I suspect that at least some of the system software was written in Pascal. OTOH, I'm pretty sure I recall hearing that practically all of what Atkinson and Hirschfeld and Capps and so on wrote for the original ROMs was in assembly (as distinct from what had been done on the LISA) because that was the only way it would fit.
> They are paid almost nothing (a checkout clerk at a Swiss supermarket makes more than a PhD student at CERN). Then you string along a subset of those for years, exploiting them for further cheap labor, somehow making them believe they are “lucky” to get that opportunity (a postdoc at CERN pays a fraction of what you can make at Google Zurich).

That’s not unique to LHC, or CERN, or physics. It’s a general problem of academia, where PhDs and postdocs are paid a pittance compared to what they could otherwise earn in the industry. This problem is especially bad in high energy physics of course, since jobs are especially limited, and it’s the brightest people competing against each other, who could easily land jobs on Wall Street or Silicon Valley.

> Then there is literally decades of over promising on ground breaking discoveries right around the corner (super symmetry, extra dimensions, dark matter).

Standard Model works exceedingly well at LHC. No one was actually sure about BSM (beyond Standard Model) so there was no “promise” really. Or the promise is: we may see something interesting, or we may disprove some otherwise interesting theories.

> Defunding the super collider in the 90s in the US was probably one of the best science policy decisions they made.

Cancelling SSC was such a stupid waste of labor and money, it’s painful to see someone touting it as a triumph. Two words: defense budget. Enough said.

Disclosure: I worked for CMS for a while. (Not physically at CERN; was doing data analysis for CMS in the U.S.)
I've found that a glossary helps, especially if there's a link to at document that talks about that concept.

People who are bored or curious can pull on the thread at their own pace.
Nowhere, in the tenets of "free software" or "open source", is there any expectation there is any mechanism whatsoever for support or even "filing issues."

If an open-source project wants to charge you money to file an issue, that's totally OK and totally in-bounds.

I'm not sure it's that different IME wise. I only know Chinese pinyin IME, but I assume since Kanji in contrast to Chinese can map to multiple syllables you probably need to keep the state of the last few syllables as well and then let the user choose the appropriate Kanji (if available).

With pinyin input it's the same in Chinese. You enter the Latin characters and the IME gives you options to select from. Also even abstracting from the single syllables you often can narrow down the selection of compound words in Chinese IME if you continue typing. So again state is important.

I am a postdoc, and I am doing everything in my power to make sure I keep doing actual things, not filling paper work and advising people only. I don't mind it once in a while, but I want to do things for a living. Not quite programming but similar sort of deal I guess.

I know it reduces my pedigree, and I think more importantly, stability. That said, I would do with the more stability, but as long as I'm on papers that the big wigs are co-authors on, I'm okay.

> a regulated free market economy with a Basic Income

any supporter of Basic Income can be either

2) made to retract his/her desire for Basic Income
because any set of math functions might do really well at predicting within a certain domain, and then produce noise or worse with new cases outside of the trained area.. perhaps more importantly, from a psychological point of view, a substitution error by humans, of replacing one not-understood system (mind) with another (black box training via NNs) is common and may be incentivized, too
According to the Islamic tradition, before the Hijri calendar was established, the Arabs used the "aam-ul-feel" - the "year of the elephant" - marked by the event of Mecca being under attack by an army with war elephants. There's a small chapter in the Quran called "The Elephant" about this.
No, it's not the same. It could be stored anonymized, and the de-anonymizing data is somewhere else, and it can ONLY be accessed with a court order. I don't know why my original comment is being downvoted, it's an important distinction.

Edit: stop with the downvotes please. Whether you agree or not, anonymizing something does not always mean it cannot be de-anonymized. And who can do it (and under what circumstances) is important.
The "easiest" (read: least difficult) to automate would be long-haul, between cities. But, we have an "automated" system for that, it's called railroads, where one driver can steer dozens or hundreds of cars.

The hardest to automate is in-city driving, where the environment is much more complicated to parse, and there are many more kinds of fellow-users (pedestrians, bicyclists, etc.). So, naturally, that's where they went first, because it's not about what makes engineering sense, it's about what gets the "dumb money" to invest.

In the case of file size inputs to a diff algorithm, it would not normally make sense to discuss how one file is going to be "exponentially" larger than another or something. They just are what they are, the bare inputs to the function in question.

By contrast, graphs can have significantly different relationships between nodes and edges, for instance, with sparse vs. dense graphs.

One could construct a situation in which file size inputs are varying related to each other in some O(...)-significant way, but it would be very strained, especially in the context of a diff algorithm (why are you trying to diff things significantly different in size at all?). You can fiddle with almost any O(...) pronouncement that way, e.g., "adding two integers isn't O(1)". True enough, but generally, more detail then we are looking for.

I know what the rules are. In fact the community seems to be extremely transparent about it -- there are sites that keep track of all job offers out there for you, along with historical statistics.

The struggle for jobs is the result of the government funding structure, plus supply and demand. It's not perfect, but it's infinitely preferably to the older system, where you could reliably do science only if you had great personal wealth, or were favored by somebody who did.
They'll announce Diablo 4, Starcraft 3, and something else cool (no matter how along they actually are in development or how far out their release date is) and then we'll all forget what a mess they made of things.

Not running ads with blatant lies is not partisan.

Having a policy of allowing all lies and providing tools for sale to microtarget users so that people can’t validate truth only favors politicians pushing lies and not people viewing them.

Facebook not removing ads with blatant lies is bad enough, but their product is now positioned as a disinformation tool.

Instead of using targeting to match people who need products with those product ads, they’re openly announcing their product as a tool for corrupt politicians to target voters with disinformation.

You don’t need a cambridge analytica to steal Facebook data for targeting when Facebook is offering that same service directly
