Misleading headline. In the article she did not "call for a debate" on it. She was asked about it and said it's not in the current plans

'“Until now, the trend has been toward shorter working hours as productivity has increased,” she told reporters in Harpsund, Sweden. “I believe that in the future, though not in the next few years, the development will be similar: improvements in productivity and technology should show up as improvements in the conditions for ordinary workers, including shorter working hours.”

The Finnish government isn’t currently working on a four-day week, she said.'

To help contextualize this so I understand the situation better, can someone compare and contrast what treatment for debilitating mental health issues such as schizophrenia looks like in Finland vs. the US?

The second issue is, In the last 10 years, the “Housing First” programme provided 4,600 homes in Finland. In 2017 there were still about 1,900 people living on the streets. In the US, there are something like half a million people living on the streets.
A lazy fix 20 years ago means the Y2K bug is taking down computers now
I take issue with the practice of labeling everyone on the street as "homeless", because the truth is that there are many different causes:

* battered spouses fleeing domestic violence

* runaway teenagers

* veterans whose mental and physical injuries

* debilitating mental illness

* impossibly high housing costs due to NIMBYism and local regulations

* alcoholism, drug, gambling addiction

That's not an exhaustive list, of course. We have to start by changing the way we speak about this. We need labels that strike at the heart of each issue, that capture the thing that's really going on, not just the surface-level phenomenon.

I live in LA, and I don't own a car, and many people that live on the street don't either. Does that mean that it's valid to label us all as "carless"?

I believe that the words we use matter, because they shape our thinking, and therefore the policies that we ultimately enact. Calling everyone "homeless" leads to attempts to treat multiple diseases with the same cure, and I believe that is ultimately doomed to failure.

Handling uncertainty is difficult regardless; attaching probabilities to judgements did not ensure the social sciences avoided the replication crisis.

I'm not sure what you mean by "low flexibility of interpretation": purely logical proofs are supposed to assume nothing about interpretation.
I would hazard a guess: their process became "agile."
What debate? How to redistribute wealth?

If you work less I have to pay you less. Or be able to find someone who will not work less. But that can't be allowed to happen because social welfare state.

So the debate is really about "do we agree to increase tax on enterprises and empower the state to redistribute even more wealth?"
I think these reviews depend on your manager. If you have a good manager, they will make it important, meaningful, and worthwhile. Plus dependant on how well the reviewee prepares for the review and how serious they take it. That being said, these type of managers are rare. I'm generally unimpressed with performance reviews.

Not really.

Everyone can check the frequency of the CPU so the one on the box mostly matches the one you'll get but no consumer can put the silicone under the electron microscope and measure all the transistor features and feel cheated that it doesn't match the advertised size.

Outside techies, most consumers don't know wtf nm is and how that correlates with performance, maybe some might even think that more nm is better, but on the other hand, most have a vague idea that more MHz is better.

That's one of the reasons why consumer grade tech has its specs totally different emphasized than the professional stuff. If you look at the ryzen box you won't find many specs but you'll find a VR logo. :)

I feel it is sensible in multiple ways:

1) People should reap benefit of automation.
2) Less urge to generate bullshit work to fill in 40+ hours.
3) Could force employers to think of more equalized distribution of work. So a few more people can get a job and overworked people can get some leisure.
Don't base your self worth solely on your accomplishments. There are so many smart people in the world. You may have been one of the smartest in your high school, but the bar was much lower then. Every electronic device you touch or see in the world was designed by a team of smart people. Forming your identity around being smart is a losing battle. It's ok to be mediocre.
Yep, more of the usual basic errors.

First, I replied to a comment. The majority of your points should be directed there. Second, your point about monopolies or why they happen is just uninteresting (the question of "always" is not something that can be answered). Third, your point about the most innovative companies tending to become monopolies is wrong...I am not sure how little you have to know to think this but it is certainly very minimal. The historical evidence is that industries consolidate down to a few large companies, not that they become monopolies. Fourth, again, I repeat what I said about ahistorical nonsense. Neither in theory or reality is monopoly a natural consequence of capitalism. Fifth, most monopolies that have existed in reality, by number, are not privately-owned, they are not innovative. There is a fairly obvious inverse correlation between monopoly and innovation (again though, the issue that is confusing you is thinking that innovation -> monopoly...this isn't a thing).
It is another untruthful claim.

The original design document for compact blocks is was published (and last modified) on Dec 25, 2015. https://people.xiph.org/~greg/efficient.block.xfer.txt

The earliest work for Bitcoin Unlimited's "Thin Blocks" was on Jan 10th 2016: https://bitco.in/forum/threads/buip010-passed-xtreme-thinblo...

Both were motivated by an earlier effort by Bitcoin developers Matt Corallo and Pieter Wuille, https://buildingbitcoin.org/bitcoin-dev/log-2013-12-27.html#... (which Pieter had implemented, but was found to not work so well, https://buildingbitcoin.org/bitcoin-dev/log-2013-12-28.html#...).

The fact that in Bitcoin we took the time to fully think through, write a clear and complete specification https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0152.mediawi... , and thoroughly test and review the implementation before deploying it while BU has been occasionally abused by the BU organization and their supporters to dishonestly claim that compact blocks came later (or were somehow derived) from their work.

Users on the sidelines were easily deceived by this marketing because BU rushed their implementation into production while Bitcoin took a more deliberative process.

BU's "thinblocks" implementation was, in fact, severely flawed both due to an implementation vulnerability that resulted in almost every BU node on the network being crashed near simultaniously, and due to a design error introduced because BU's "chief scientist" strongly believed that it was computationally intractable to produce a collision in the first 64-bit of transaction IDs (a sha2 hash), even though one can be computed on a fast desktop computer in seconds.

In fact, Bitcoin Cash developers went so far as to attempt to block the deployment of compact blocks by falsely claiming that it would somehow "disrupt the network": https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/4xkqbk/core_intends_to... (It didn't.)

So the history is that: Bitcoin developers proposed and tested an idea for faster block propagation using filters and found it lacking. Later, it came up again as a possible way to mitigate segwit's bandwidth increase, so I wrote a design to address the known issues and we started working on implementing it. A few weeks later BU developers picked up the old work and started improving it. Within a couple months they had it deployed it in public and announced 'mission accomplished', but their deployment was unspecified and ultimately faulty. As a result of those issues and the superior relay latency of compact blocks thinblocks was replaced in the Bitcoin Cash network with the protocol from Bitcoin.

There is no common protocol feature in BU's xthinblocks that wasn't also in Bitcoin's original work that inspired both efforts. There could have been no influence on compact blocks' design by xthinblocks because it would have been physically impossible for there to be due to causality. That hasn't seemed to stop BU developers and people like you from repeating this lie.

Cheers.

I've had what I think was called "neurocognitive evaluation" which involved testing working memory, reaction time, some other memory tests (reproduce image, list as many words of certain type that I can), and probably some other stuff. So there's probably a standard list out there that doctors might now.
The specific of online gambling business is there are lot of shady things going on. You just aren't competitive if you're all legal and honest. When something goes wrong, something you can't immediately fix, the optimal strategy often is cover things up and not attract the attention of regulators at all costs. Because once you did, it's better to dump your company, save whatever assets you can and start over.

This might explain their attitude.

People keep mentioning this point and I'm a little confused. In 2020 a non-user-replaceable battery seems to be the standard situation for all my electronics, not just AirPods. I'm not saying it's a good thing I just don't get why this criticism tends to mostly come up around AirPods.

I think that's called shifting priorities, and I can relate.
It will depend on the user. Gamers, for example, will not be interested in having their systems limping to get a bit of extra security when they already pay through the nose to get extra couple of percent of performance.

I understand your point about labeling individuals affected by a wide variety of circumstances. I think this is a case of applying a group term in order to make informed decisions in order to aid people in need of a place to live.
The comments yesterday said the same thing. However what I took away from that article was that AirPods are you really successful and that their revenue exceeds many unicorns individually. Bluetooth heating tools have been recognized as a real need for a long time and Apple enters the market really late and takes over with perfect design and execution creating a new market segment in the process.
It was normal in the US for an ISP to return a "helpful" page when you entered a nonexistant domain. It sort of looked like a search results page. In reality it usually turned into a page of ads. Each ISP may have been different with the volume of actual search results they returned on the page.
I know I live a life that is driven by a need to fulfill debts that I was tricked into by a society that told me I had to go into debt to become successful. Now I have little choice in what I do but to make as much money as I can in order to make those debts go away and my desires and passions have little say in the matter. I'm grateful for what I have, but it sure doesn't feel like freedom. American freedom is proportional to your wealth, and competition for that wealth is ceaseless. I might be willing to give up a lot of my "freedoms" to be free of that.
"We need labels that strike at the heart of each issue"

That's pretty much the opposite of the "housing first" approach.
Hence the hobbyist. As a professional engineer I mostly care if the investment into expensive hardware (and developing/adapting a software stack) is worth the gains. And I can totally see that adding a $2k card to a bunch of $5k servers can be cheaper than throwing more servers at a problem (especially after saving on power, rack space and cooling).
But in that context I'd only consider a used $350 card for dev/eval work. I don't want to tell the customer that his infrastructure was down for a few days because I convinced him to cheap out on a NIC.
There are lots of crummy software jobs. Not just in the game industry. Basically, software will be a crummy job whenever:

+ It is viewed as a cost center
+ Company culture accepts crummy jobs

This is true for any skill set as well. Once a role is measured in terms of reducing its direct overhead, it's a dead end. Why on earth would management promote a person who has been "costing the company money" for years?
Hold My Beer Mirai – Spinoff Named ‘LiquorBot’ Incorporates Cryptomining
You are spot on. After checking some recommended sites here (e.g. /r/appideas) it's clear that a lot of people just shitting out (for lack of a better word) ideas without half of a thought on execution. I think there are a particular kind of people who do this. The kind who wants to patent everything and always looking for the Next Big Thing™.

I have no solution for this other then focusing on the following things:

- How detailed the idea is. The mere fact that someone took the time to think about it and write it down (1-2 page at least) is a good first filter that throws out things such as "It's like tinder but for job search".

- Limiting it to "technical" people who has experience with actual execution of ideas and instinctively point out problems

The real problem is that another country with lesser ethics will work their workers into the ground and out-compete your country in terms of productivity. Then, they'll get to effectively make all the labor rules because they'll have so much more money and can leech your workers away for higher salaries.

The real solution here is to prevent worker-leeching but that seems incredible draconian (and you'd have to get every single country to agree to it).
When I had my six month affair with an Iphone 6 it took me a month (I don't get many calls) to finally get frustrated enough to google "How to reject calls" because I was so used to Android giving me a big red X that I never even considered pushing the power button to reject a call (I think that even just mutes incoming calls on Android, I forget), that X let me mute or reject based on the direction I swiped it. I could only figure out how to mute the rings which means my car radio would just be silent until the caller finally gave up.

I know a lot of iphone users think it's the most intuitive machine in the world and a 5 year old can get it, and I'm obviously heavily swayed by my decade or whatever with Android but the amount of hidden/unintuitive-to-me/impossible-to-do things I found was what moved me back to Android after that trial.

I spent a LOT of time searching on Google for how to do things with that phone.
What is to stop them from sending an update only to you? Followed by an update that deletes that code? Or an update that allows them to run arbitrary code sent from a server?

Actually the title is correct, she said the matter should be able to be discussed, and should be discussed. That qualifies as calling for a debate. Not what the previous clickbait articles said, this one is absolutely correct.

This is a good idea. Depending on the field, there really shouldn't be any statements in the text about the findings in the paper that aren't directly backed up by "proof" in a figure. If you're familiar enough with the methodology, just looking at the figures should give you a good idea of what the authors did.
What's the problem, you don't believe vaccination causes any harm, ever? Just look up a vaccine (eg https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/1159), febrile seizures, conjunctivitis, anorexia, etc., even just the vaccination might render someone dead/hospitalised through anaphylaxis.

You know crossing the road can kill too. You'll probably be fine, but I'm not going to lie and say you'll never be the one who gets hit. If I did lie to you, then you heard about someone getting hit, you should then not trust me and be hesitant about taking advice from me. Now, do you see how this works with something like flu vaccine? "It's perfectly safe" and "≥10%" get minor illness from it are not the same thing - saying the former when the evidence supports the latter means someone won't trust you for health advice even if you're objectively the best source because they can no longer be as objective about it.

Honor and Creator.

Honor is trying to enter an established industry full of complex legal entanglements and where there are already tons of players. They aren't revolutionizing this space at all. I mean, it's fine as a traditional business goes as far as I can tell. Why is VC involved?

Creator is going the wrong direction for food imo. Fast food has been on the decline for several years. Assuming we have more good economy to come than bad, this will only continue. People want high quality products, healthier products, and customized products. And sometimes a human experience. What will happen to this machine and the food when the novelty wears off? They'll get neglected like vending machines, or start breaking down due to cut corners in maintenance. The burgers look pretty bad and the reviews seem to agree. Maybe I'm wrong about this one and this is the golden fast food standard of the future, but I'd want to see more of those problems handled.
