I think you may have responded to the wrong post; the things you "quoted" from me, I did not say. However, here's my response to your arguments.

> Look at German citizenry. They have equal or more rights than American[s].

Source? I'd say Americans are more free. I don't consider "positive rights" to increase liberty; you can't make one more free by requiring another to do something for him to fulfill his freedom. Doctors, houses, etc. are not rights.

> better healthcare

No, there is _more_ healthcare. Quality, access, and cost are the iron triangle of medicine; pick two. We picked quality and price, and those were good choices. Germany picked universality and cost; they traded some of that cost to the tax payers, and got some quality, but most cutting-edge medical research is in America.

> better educational systems

Before college, probably yes. I agree we should give fewer hand-outs and allocate more to education.

> fly-by-night

I didn't use those words; please don't claim I did. It weakens your argument.

> Nordic countries have better healthcare

Better is subjective; see iron triangle.

> a cleaner environment

Norway, for instance, makes a huge amount of money off Statoil (now Equinor). They have small population sizes relative to natural resources. This means they export things that pollute and dump that pollution elsewhere. Though Equinor is trying to sequester carbon, it's nowhere near total output and doesn't account for the by-products of O&G production. It is also only from part of one operation, and only removing CO2 from natural gas. Equinor also owned stakes in oil sands, which are absolutely horrible for the environment.

Why do I bring this up? To point out that many nordic nations sell resources to others, mine resources in other nations, etc. They rely on negative externalities to pay for their extravagant welfare states. According to the wikipedia article, "Economy of Norway": "Norway's modern manufacturing and welfare system rely on a financial reserve produced by exploitation of natural resources, particularly North Sea oil." (there are four cited sources).

> better transit

Transit is not a right. America is significantly larger.

> more walkable cities

That's a right? Also, their cities are significantly smaller.

> stronger privacy protections

The EU takes the fundamentally-paternalistic attitude that consumers aren't smart enough to protect their own data, and that government must fill that role for them. I disagree; it's condescending and wrong.

> more often than not, when compared to other "western coutnries", the US comes out behind.

How do you compare that? As you said, many different ways. I'm getting the sense the things you value in your comparison constitute zero percent of mine.

Many of America's issues come from being a large and very diverse nation. Nordic nations have small, homogeneous populations with little unrest. Very easy to govern a nation, keep crime rates low, etc. that way. Nothing comes without a cost. Some nations hide costs better than others. Some kick them down the road.
Which criticism are we discussing here? The article describes a Matrix meme which Google allowed to stay up, and previous articles I've read suggest that Google regularly allows questions on hot-button issues when they don't call for specific personnel decisions.
> Thanks to all the CMOS sensor advancements, we now have cameras that can produce amazing dynamic range and very little noise

i shoot with a pretty recent APS-C Nikon D7500 & good glass these days and i can tell you that its dynamic range is still nothing compared to what a new (or even older) iphone can get by bracketing a shot at 960fps and stacking it automatically for you. i would happily sacrifice half its resolution for the kind of dynamic range you effortlessly get with an iphone.

i had a good Fuji mirrorless X-T2 and its low latency electronic viewfinder sucked the battery dry in an hour and lagged + looked like shit in low light.

sad.
Stock based compensation for executives who influence the decision to perform stock buybacks, should be normalized to eliminate buyback caused rises. They should earn their compensation through value creation (increasing market capitalization), not creative economic engineering.

Having just navigated through a bunch of forms on my councils website I can verify that the following people are all on certificates at different points:

* a freelance web dev
* two design agencies
* nobody (plain lets encryot)
* a payments middle man company (stylised like "EZ pay")
* the council themselves (on the confirmation pages...)

So I would hazard a guess that "Mobile Transportation Services inc." ie a little too sensible to be trustworthy...
You're right; code could have used 'async = 1' before.

Another technique is:

try:
import test_module
except SyntaxError:
...
except NameError:
...

Nonetheless, my point wasn't really to show that eval() was essential, only that any language which supports eval() will have these problems.

Is C a permissive language?

C99 added support for BCPL-style comments, causing

int a = 1 //* */ 2
;

to give different behavior. C11 removed gets(), and broke code which just happened to define its own aligned_alloc() while also #including stdlib.h.
Great. Now nobody can see what you do except companies who sell everything you do...
I know...it was a subtle joke.

So many people consider the 50s,60s,70s idyllic, crime-free decades when children could safely walk across town and everyone knew their neighbors and nobody locked their doors.

In reality, crime today is much lower.
Keep in mind that someone might still your ideas. Right now there are probably a dozen people preparing capsules related papers for CVPR (due in 2 weeks) so if one of them comes across your paper there’s a temptation.
It's important to remember that EVERY group uses status signaling.

Those hoodies you wear? You are signaling which tribe you belong to and your status within it. (In particular, this one is called "aposematic signaling", or I-can-get-away-with-it signaling.)

You think you're beyond status by intellectualizing over status signaling? No, instead you're just signaling (via intellectual status) to ingratiate yourself within a tribe that values intellectualism.

I have a fairly intellectual group of friends, and it was a sobering realization for us when we all noticed that - at least in part - the degree to which we share our intellectual curiosities may simply reflect a way to stay "in-group." Should we fail to intellectualize, then we might no longer "fit in" and belong to a tribe.

People signal in different ways - some by bragging, others by refusing to brag, some by buying, some by refusing to buy - but in the end, it's mostly about pledging allegiance to one tribe and rejecting the other in opposition. It's really no different from politics.

Everyone belongs to a tribe, and every tribe has a status hierarchy.

Climate change will break the housing market
The walrus operator has very clear problems once you start to use the assigned variable at the same line it receives a new value. That's not really relevant on practice, since nobody does it, but it moves a language from a philosophy of simple semantics into one where people are ok with undefined behavior or a pile of exceptional cases. This change does smell really bad for people that have seen it before, so those tend to overreact and start complaining that the sky is falling.

Specifically on the case of Python, it used to promise simple semantics a long while ago. This changed at some point, and the semantics were already complex before the walrus operator. With the operator added, semantics becomes a bit more complex, but this is not a main feature of the language anymore, so it's not a big change.

Yet, pattern matching would have a very small semantic footprint, and would solve the same kinds of problems (despite having a very different nature), but was very vocally rejected without any of the deep analysis that went into the walrus operator. It looks like this happened because they would have a very large syntactic footprint, basically completely changing the appearance of the language, but the process left the people that focused on semantics lost, without understanding what was happening.

Please, please do not spread news like this. It can't be true at all. Do you think they had zero vested stock? I know a software engineer at Apple - he has made about 1 million dollars just from stocks - some were awarded and some were bought from his savings
I wish I understood the technicalities better. This doesn't work in mainland China.
The difficulty is in rolling back previously unlimited freedom.
It's easier to do it quietly though. If there's unencrypted network traffic, they just need to demand access from someone with physical access to the switches, plant a listening device, and everyone with logical access will be blissfully unaware.

If they want to MITM encrypted traffic they need to demand access from somebody with access to the certificates, who is going to be higher paid and more likely to speak to at least a lawyer before granting access.
Agreed. It's always the one who happens to be in control of the purse strings at any given time.
MIT's Very Old Milk
I was a kid when we still had dangerous steel playgrounds and by the time I was in 5th grade, it wasn't cool to play on the playground.

Middle schools never had them as far as I know. So around 10 seems to have always been the max age for playground equipment.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Are you suggesting we should not criticize our employers when they do things we don't like? Should we not complain when a company aids foreign censorship or hides from the public masses the true nature of its data collection?

And in truth its hard to live today without participating in some atrocity, and is that very idea not worth discussing? The gasoline in your car came at great costs both past and future, the cops keep killing innocent people, the US has more slaves now than it did at the peak of the slave trade, we don't own our data and governments are in the collection game, and on and on.

There's plenty worth speaking out against.
Crowdsourcing works in cases where lots of customers are interested in the same set of attributes to extract.

But by definition, customers interested in long-tail attributes (i.e. virtually all of them) don't have others to source those from.
I want to go meta here for a sec: Why does it seem like publications are tripping over each other to publish another article on complaints by Google employees? And why do I keep clicking on them? The complaints, by the way, are almost always about some decision made by people far above their pay grade. Are all Google employees expected to share in and guide all corporate decisions now? It's weird. I'm aware of zero companies that size, that do that.

I think our emotional responses exist to guide us towards good decisions. If you take a reinforcement learning system and you always give it positive reinforcement, it will not learn much of anything. I guess I'm saying your enlightenment is irrelevant if it's not improving your survival.
The point of professionalism is to create a safe space, where people can work together to achieve things without their personal, political, and religious differences getting in the way. Saying your coworker is evil and must be excluded from society is inherently unprofessional.

I can't tell you with a straight face that you should never in any circumstance be unprofessional. But the ability to have respectful relationships across the aisle is incredibly valuable, and you'd better be sure it's worth losing. I think a lot of people don't even consider that cost.

You'd need a much larger drone (volume wise) to carry sonobuoys. MAD gear is out of fashion so at least you don't have to compromise the airframe with that. I can't see a drone carrying a MK48 either.

Well for like 20 years they've allowed it and they've done pretty well. Actually it's a way people can privately (within the company) vent about confidential things and reach others who feel the same way. If they can't vent when some middle manager makes a bad call, or some exec agrees to aid some murderous government's surveillance, what will they do instead? Stage more walk outs? Leak to the press? Unionize?

Vector is a source -> transform -> sink pipeline as well. There are no transforms that do lookups or joins available now but the functionality is supported if someone writes a custom transformer middleware.
If people demand it they may simulate medium format. But yeah seeing large prints from LF or MF cameras the whole image looks very different, more immersive of the scene.

Oh this, a thousand times. I took a job where I had to do office casual dress for the first time (I had a nice run) and there’s these great series of “your favorite ___ for ___“ posts. People breaking down in price tiers what & why they like stuff, it’s such a fantastic resource.
The OP referenced is what is called a 'joke'. Oddly, 'jokes' are not always intended to be pedantically accurate.
UAVs will have a hard time in a doing AEW since array size is very important. Also, the crew of the E2s do quite a bit of the work, stuff that can't be automated. And when operating under EMCON, the value of an E2 is even higher.
I used to have a phone with a pay for usage data plan and kept mobile data disabled. I kept OpenVPN permanently enabled and it did not affect battery life at all. I then switched to a flat rate 2GB/month plan and now keep mobile data enabled. OpenVPN murders my battery.

The keepalive packets require keeping your phone's radios on. WiFi is pretty low power (<20 milliwatts iirc for the radio) so it has little effect, but mobile data is not low power. Apple & Google have put a lot of work into optimizing the OS to tweak usage to save power and the keepalive packets throw all of that out the window.

If keeping data off is a possibility for you, try that and see if the VPN still affects your battery life. If not, then you will have to set the VPN to only be active on WiFi or manually toggle it on/off whenever you want it.
From the lesswrong article:

>If you have a fixed amount of money to spend—and your goal is to display your friendship, rather than to actually help the recipient—you’ll be better off deliberately not shopping for value.

I actually already do this to help the recipient.

If you're buying according to someones interests, there's a good chance they already have an equivalent or better of the value option you're considering. Or if they don't, it's because they considered it already and decided they don't want it.

When gift buying I use these as guidelines: related to their interests, expensive for its class, consumable, I can acquire it and they can't.
Not to mention how every phone camera geotags every image automatically, but that's still a bulky $500 add-on for DSLRs, if it's even available for your model.
I guess the keyword here is "recognizable". The goal isn't to make it extremely readable, but make it both readable by a machine and sufficiently readable by a human.
Stateless | Boulder, CO | Onsite | stateless.net

At Stateless we are building something special. Not just in terms of a disruptive technology but also in terms of culture. A culture were people authentically personify our organizational values. Supportive. Sincere. Studious. Striving. Stateless.

Stateless is on a mission to reinvent network connectivity. Central to that was our initial innovation, where we demonstrated an ability to efficiently decouple state from processing in network functions—a task deemed infeasible in high-performance networking systems, but in doing so, we have opened the door for fundamentally changing how networks are built. Now, we are building the product around that vision. VCs have backed us, and early adopters have validated the business opportunity.

We are hiring for a variety of roles: from C++ Python and Kotlin developers to sales and support engineers.
