In the public courts, DoJ lies with impunity. It's very difficult for defendants to escape with their freedom; holding federal prosecutors responsible for their misdeeds is the last thing on their minds.

In the FISA courts, DoJ lies with impunity. The judges occasionally throw a warrant back and tell them to try harder, but mostly DGAF, because no publicity. Now there is publicity, and suddenly a judge cares...

What I'm suggesting is that if they were to just call it say, the 797 (or whatever), then they could make the handling characteristics different from the 737 and solve the pitching moment problem in a different way that would have been safer.

From each of the two distinct perspectives I mentioned?

> However, I feel you are holding popular science journalism to an unrealistic standard here - a standard that is applied to no other subject.

Telling the truth? Although you have a fair point, hardly anyone bothers themself with the truth nowadays.

Personally, if I was a scientist, I'd get a bit upset with the media misrepresenting things I say, especially if I believed there was chance that it could cause harm. But then, I seem to be about the only person concerned about throwing fat pitches to anti-AGW propagandists, so maybe I'm wrong.

> Or, putting this a bit more practically: I feel like I have done a fine job of showing why quoting the 97% number is not particularly misleading.

You also did a fine job at completely overlooking the two perspectives part I pointed out, that explained fairly precisely what my concern was.

Just as an experiment, I am going to copy paste that part in here to see if you will ignore it again. While this is disrespectful, I've performed this experiment many times on reddit and people will continue to pretend they don't see a point being made. Sometimes I even add over the top bolding and all sorts of other nonsense to make the spectacle as absurd as possible, to see to what lengths people will go.

But I digress.....here is the point I am curious whether you are able to address:

(HOWEVER: I already said in my prior comment for you to feel free to not respond, so I will not consider a lack of response to this comment as any kind of an internet victory. That said, I really would like to hear your response, because I'm not joking, I really do consider this perspective important, and if you truly find it (the propagandic exploitation angle) utterly unconcerning, I would very much like to know that.)

My prior point, on multiple perspectives:

-----------------------------

So what's going on here?

Well, there are (at least) two differences here that I can see:

- we are using two different verbs: stating, and framing

- we are evaluating the truthiness of the different ways of stating it from (at least) two different/composite perspectives: I am looking at it from the perspectives of pedantic accuracy (how closely the description of the study matches the actual study) and with respect to vulnerability to propagandic exploitation (full disclosure: I imagine there's some motivated reasoning going on), whereas you are looking at it more from the perspective of ~"what is the most concise way these results can be stated in order to communicate the scientific facts"

So if we look at it this way, it seems to me we're both right. I don't disagree with your framing, as it relates to the science only, and I suspect (based on your prior comments) that you don't disagree with my framing, but only as it relates to pedantic accuracy of describing what the study actually did, with the intention of minimizing the attack surface to propagandists. (Do I suspect correctly?)
To be honest, when I read about these types of difficulties in managing changes in an API over time, I really wonder why more companies don't go over whole hog into GraphQL. GraphQL won't solve all your problems (sometimes changes are breaking because business needs require it), but GraphQL provides a better scheme for API evolution than any other API toolkit I've used:

1. You can just keep adding new methods and fields as needed, but since each client asks only for the fields specific to what they want, you don't get big bloated response objects.

2. Lots of times your breaking changes only differ slightly from previous versions, and the way GraphQL resolvers are written makes it really easy to refactor things into one base method that both the old and new versions can share.

3. Proper use of the @deprecated schema directive means your doc is 'clean' by always showing the latest version that new users should adopt, but the doc is still there for users on older versions.

4. It's really easy to add logging and tracing in your resolvers to see how often fields are being accessed and who is using them. At some point you may decide to break backwards compatibility by deleting old fields, but you'll know exactly who you are breaking.

I joined Google less than 3 months before the walkout. Mid level management practically encouraged us to attend. There were big numbers but most were probably there out of curiosity. I was really disappointed. In the New York walkout, there was a tiny area with an underpowered bullhorn and nobody could hear what they were saying. Exactly one hour after it started, everyone was bored of standing around and went straight back to work.

If it's a framework then it will be able to be applied in several contexts. Hence, there are a set of questions that help show it is a framework. It doesn't have to be useful for atheists but it would go a long way to showing it's a framework and not a religion.

I'd be more than happy to go through all of those questions for Buddhism (or Prince2 or Rails or any framework), it would be easy. I can't see how it would be done for Christianity, nor for any formulation of Jesus' teachings, but if you know how, you should!

Building a product which has complex, meaningful interactions with users, as a "social" robot is expected to do, is a difficult problem which will take a lot of time and effort to get right. It's not something that can be solved by a couple of developers in a few months as a Kickstarter project.
Years ago I used the old Firefox addon Shelve to automatically archive the vast majority of web pages I visited.

http://shelve.sourceforge.net/

The main disadvantage was disk space. This is particularly true when some pages are 10 MB or larger. I would periodically prune the archive directory for this reason.

I stopped using Shelve when I started running out of disk space, and now I can't use Shelve because the addon is no longer supported. The author of Shelve has some suggestions for software with similar functionality:

I'm confused about the widely held opinion that it is paramount that all web content persist for infinity.

Was reading the wikipedia page on undersea cables and ran across this gem -- some pirates tried to sell 100 tons of fiber cable they nabbed off the bottom of the ocean near Vietnam: https://lirneasia.net/2007/06/vietnams-submarine-cable-lost-...
Anchors cutting internet cables happen all the time. It is a weekly occurrence. If you want a visual image: imagine a plane laying down a cable over a forest. It is an heavy cable designed to crash a bit inside the canopy, but it is likely to still dangle in many places.

Another super powerful plane now lays down a one ton hook on a big ass chain and drags it around the forest until it settles on something strong enough to stop it. It does not make the coincidence that big, especially when you consider that many cables land close to commercial routes.

Giving people feedback is not always a good idea. Sometimes the information just helps them to hide something from the next person they encounter.

This is true in many domains, I think. You should not explain to the conman how you saw through his lies. That will help him fix that and con more people.

You shouldn't tell people in your dating profile what turns you off. They'll just avoid revealing they have a third arm if that's one of your turn offs.

I think interviewers have incentive to help people they like but no incentive to help someone they don't think they want to see in the candidate pool down the road.

Maybe they will point you to things you can learn if it will make you a better candidate but not if will just help you tune your pitch.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me.

> It's the fact that you need to buy a medigap plan that is exactly the problem. Those plans are not available to everyone.

I’m not sure I understand this comment. There is a guaranteed issuance period after you become eligible for Medicare. Several states also either have permanent guaranteed issuance periods, or annual guaranteed issuance enrolment periods. What do you mean when you say the plans are not available to everyone?

> And you have to buy private insurance to fix what the government doesn't do right.

Sure, but supplemental insurance exists in Canada and the UK too, even though those care systems are quite good. Most people don’t need it because the basic services are comprehensive and reasonable. A Medicare for All plan just needs to offer the same level of service that you see in other universal health care systems.

> Medicare for all is not a good plan.

There are multiple plans that are described as “Medicare for All”. Which specific version of this concept do you think is bad? Why?

> Leave it as private insurers, but let the government give every family an allowance to help pay for it or even pay for it entirely.

The main thing I don’t understand about this approach is where cost savings and improved patient experience are supposed to come from. Having multiple insurers means that all the billing and administrative overhead costs continue to exist. Insurers will demand a profit margin on top of the actual cost of providing services. We’ll still have the restricted networks and copays and coinsurances and denials and appeals and prior authorisations and formulary exceptions and annual enrolments that make navigating care in the U.S. a nightmare. Can you explain how you think these problems would be mitigated under a “Medicare Advantage for All” type system?
GCP documentation is the worst I have come across so far. The GCP documentation seems to have multiple personalities. It is as if the different parts of the documentation were written by different teams in different corners of the company.

I have to often disregard the documentation and get into the gcloud (their Python-based CLI and API) to understand what the heck is going on and their CLI/API code is no good either. Layers and layers of abstraction in their code only to make some REST API calls. The amount of over-engineering and abstraction that is present in their Python code would put even Java SimpleBeanFactoryAwareAspectInstanceFactory developers to shame.
I wonder if their pricing change earlier this year had anything to do with it.
They made the pricing model very antagonistic (eg the 1 hour package doesn't roll over, so driving for 2 hours on it costs way more than driving one hour, ending the rental, than immediately starting another 1 hour package!)

Before that I used the service a lot, I’d just hop in a car and go do stuff, changing my plans on the go, and know I’d get the best deal. After I had to plan things very precisely and hope for no randomness (heavy traffic, no parking, friend taking too long to come outside) and often it was less hassle and as expensive to take an Uber.
I used to use them maybe once a week, then after all that I dropped to once every few months.
But that’s just me..

How is this different from a hashset where you simply never do the final key comparison? As far as I can tell both require linear storage space and have around the same storage complexity.

It seems like the main "innovation" here is simply using a perfect hash function for your hashset.

From the paper: "We store the fingerprints in an array B with capacity c slightly larger than the cardinality of the set |S | (i.e., c ≈ 1.23 × |S |)."

Good rules, I follow all of them, making a pure HTML/CSS single page homepage of uncompressed HTML, except... it's not at all designed to last. I nuked my last site to make it, and I'll nuke this one one day when I wanna make something even cooler. Website as art installation plus a few links.

My content is spread about, on medium, on github, twitter, instagram, wherever. But this too I feel is mostly ephemeral. It's still not clear to me why that's a bad thing. I dislike hoarding physical objects. I'm not sure about digital, either, I suppose. So one alternative is to free yourself from the idea that it needs to be hoarded, that all your works need to be maximally legible and easy to find, etc. I do suppose if you're a professor your students should probably be able to find the syllabus from your website (which he has, though it's hosted on brown's site).
You get the point though. The idea is to create something that replaces phone number.

Why is DOH only used for resolvers. What about authoritative servers. Caches are not authoritative soures of DNS data.

Nameservers for registries and registrars do not offer DOH. DNS over HTTPS is only used for "recursive DNS".

They praise bloom filters for being simple and describe how it works in two sentences. They criticize cuckoo filters for being too complicated. They praise their own algorithm for being simple, and then they don't describe it, and instead link to a repo of several hundred lines of code.
