They explained in the article how their decision-making still depends on circumstance, so it's not a rule so much as a bias.

A properly calibrated bias will minimize error when you don't have any further information. This is like assuming the probability of rain is low in Arizona. It does rain, but no rain is the way to bet if you don't know how to do better. A more sophisticated weather prediction algorithm should be compared with a simple one to see if it actually does better.

But you do need to think about whether false positives or false negatives are more harmful, and whether uncertainty can be decreased by gathering more information.
It's configurable. The default parser is written in C, but it's possible to use a parser based on the csv module if you needs things like separators specified by a regex.
Those are valid. YouTube Premium allows the first (while still paying content creators), and someone mentioned an iOS app that allows the second.

I don’t care if you switch, but figure you may want to know.
The trouble with this analogy is that at some point an ATV comes along that’s much faster both on and off the road, but you’re still clinging to x86 because it’s more powerful than the “high level” languages like C.

I generally agree with you, but I also suspect there’s a lot of room to improve the tools and it’s not always obvious when something is a paradigm shift in productivity or a dead end that will only work in tightly constrained use cases.
Not the GP you're replying to, but thought it'd be interesting to chime in to point out that evidence shows that it seems we would have to be absolutely overwhelmed with contradictory evidence, and people we respect bringing it to us, to actually change our opinions or beliefs on anything.

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/02/27/why-facts-dont...

As such, despite being the type to spend countless hours on back-and-forth, pulling up sources, etc. in conversations, I can fully understand GP's point of view that it's fruitless because neither of us (engaged in the back-and-forth) will come out any the better for it, if not worse off due to the entrenching effect the engagement an have on us.
My concern is that they could let the opportunity pass if they keep being sloppy with the quality of their software. The quality & user experience of both macOS and iOS have been going downhill for years. The music app is a complete shit-show for example and is a significant downgrade from its former self a decade ago. The same can be said for many built-in apps and parts of the OS.
I think it is a doubled edged sword. It was an audacious idea that made a lot of sense, and the fact that the founder could raise a lot of money based on name alone probably helped make the gamble on the audacious idea possible. If the startup could have reached escape velocity and be passed off to somebody else then I think you have the best of all worlds. Serial entrepreneur can shift to something else while the successful startup they helped create goes off on its own.

But I do agree with the second point, which is when the founder isn't going to have that "do or die" mentality and the startup starts to sputter, then it's straight into zombie land. Reading the blog post on the company website it sounds that this is basically a corporate structure for Justin Kan to give people advice on how to fundraise and build their companies, which might be a useful service but obviously not a growth startup.

The problem with YouTube Premium is that it doesn't solve the tracking aspect of it. If anything, it gives Google validated identity & billing details about you which makes the situation worse from a privacy point of view.

I'm a heavy YouTube user and would be happy to pay for it. Yet, I can't do so without agreeing to their insane "privacy" policy and providing personal details to a company that has proven its bad faith countless times with all the dark patterns & invasive tracking.

This tool is intended to be used outside of Kubernetes. Before you can deploy something on Kubernetes you first need to build a container. Docker is the primary tool used for building and developing containers. The intention of k3c is to replace Docker with a smaller tool that has the required parts of Docker that people use for development. And to make that tool more complimentary to the larger k8s ecosystem.

Oh, and apparently there's a new contender too - Play.js includes a fully functional Node.js implementation with support for npm (via package.json dependencies). So now you can basically use any NPM package on iOS. I can already tell that I'm going to get a lot of mileage out of it :)

All Android phones before P are vulnerable to a flaw that allows background camera use:

https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/7/17091104/android-p-prevent...

That might actually be the majority of active Android devices if you look at the marketshare statistics.

I think it's actually somewhat embarrassing that the tech industry hasn't been able to provide a low cost, reasonably secure smartphone platform that can be used for more than a year or two. The only people who can remain secure are the ones who can afford either new Android phones or slightly less new iPhones.

Security is like a luxury item, and the worst part is that most people don't even realize it.
The other problem is ballooning administration and the associated costs. The administration can run it into the ground and be unwilling to trim their unnecessary colleagues/selves, preferring to no longer exist or allow their hired professors to provide a valuable service
My workaround for YouTube (on both iOS and macOS) is to use an RSS reader like News Explorer (it natively supports subscribing to YouTube URLs and syncs via iCloud) and then just watching via the browser with a content blocker (AdGuard) that seems to block the ads & cancer on YouTube pages.

This also allows you to subscribe to channels without having a Google account and agreeing to their "privacy" policy.
In what way? Isn't it much closer to Brave New World?
You're putting a lot of unstated assumptions into what "observation" is.

My company used Atrium to help us think through some very complicated niche legal issues. We were on a flat rate plan, and it was nice to be able to brainstorm without watching the clock. We were pretty happy with their service, but it all came from one attorney, who also was the one who found us and brought us in. Whenever we dealt with anyone else there, it was disorganized and low quality. When our main attorney left, of course we followed them.

I had bought into their philosophy at first but the experience showed me why law firms have the partner-oriented structure they do. Legal work is built around trust in the lawyer in most cases and that's hard to automate.

Tail Risks Rising, Iran’s Economic Misery, and 737 Max/Min
It's still an odd statistic if the demand for college-as-credential is holding strong or rising.

Likely explanation: demographic dip. The demand for a credential is still high (perhaps even rising), but the number of college age students is either in a local dip or downward trend. And the value of a small college has always been marginal, so that's where the leading edge of the trend hits. Enrollment falls, tuition receipts with it, public funding is strained, the institution closes.

From your link:

"A common trope amongst police officers in the United States is the aphorism: "If you lie, you die." This is indicative of the essential need for trustworthiness in the job—police officers are society's observers, enforcers and professional witnesses—and a warning that any deliberate falsehood can undermine the officer's continued usefulness, resulting in termination. Such terminations have been judicially enforced.[20]"

I personally know of 3 cops who lost their job for dishonesty. It's not even stuff like planting drugs, but turning in fake tickets (court copies never submitted, just office copies).

Further, look up the Brady List. In everywhere I've worked, if you're on it, the Commonwealth's Attorney will not take your cases. Period. If your lawyer loses a case where the witness is a cop who has lied intentionally on record, you have a crappy lawyer or a terribly corrupt judge AND jury

I believe first round did a study that showed that companies founded by people who'd previously had a successful exit had better outcomes, but they also raised at higher valuations, and those effects canceled each other. So returns from investing in successful serial founders vs new founders are similar
The bad ones don't outperform and need marketing to find suckers. The good ones won't take your money even if you beg, don't need to advertise themselves and are rarely if ever in the news.
Honestly why is popularity not a good mechanism to determine how we allocate experimental investment?

If a large cadre of highly educated people find a particular theoretical mechanism sufficiently compelling to dedicate their careers and time to it, then surely that's a good basis on which to develop experiments to try and confirm whether it's right? Because the benefit of proving it wrong means they'll reallocate their resources.

It's a fair point, but I'm kind of getting tired of responding to it. I think that such an absolutist stance can be more harmful than helpful in some situations, and that view is backed by my anecdotal but not-insignificant experience.

Some officers do not care about your rights or the law, and if you demand a lawyer when they ask how much cash is in the vehicle after they pull you over for doing 37 in a 35 zone, then you and your lawyer are going to spend a little while dealing with the matter.

Whereas if you give nothing away while remaining polite and courteous and aware that you are probably being lied to, you might drive off with a warning. You might still need to fall back to "am I being detained", but you might not. Sometimes you simply can't completely avoid a conversation, especially when the other party can physically compel you and make up an excuse later.

There is no universal good advice for such difficult and varied situations, and acting as though there is doesn't do anyone any favors. That's why I like this article and commented on it; the author provides useful knowledge and references without being overly prescriptive.

And incidentally, the absolutist "never speak at all" part of the James Duane talk comes with the caveat, "if you are being suspected of a serious crime". The article seems to be more about officer-knocks-on-your-door or traffic stop sort of situations.
Elite research universities are definitely seeing constraints. Or, alternately speaking, theoretical physical and life sciences experiments are getting extremely expensive ;)

I think the college of the future looks a lot like USC Film School. It's virtually identical to a production quality film or television studio.

The article mentions that, if you are not free to go, then the police must read you your Miranda rights. This appears to be a common understanding as well.

However, other sources I've read state that police don't necessarily have to do this unless they want your testimony to be court-admissable (https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/police-questioning-m...).

So I'm a bit confused - could someone clear this up for me?
It's so comically analogous to the startup that hits a big investment round and goes on a hiring spree, signing a long-term lease on a swanky office, and then the profit never comes.

> I thought that government benefits in the US were shite?

They absolutely are.

What most people are overlooking in this thread is that jobs at the bottom are awful. Minimum wages that haven't changed in years. Places that pay minimum wage also tend toward part time schedules without benefits, and on top of that it's usually shift work where schedules are given a couple weeks in advance.

I have family members who've 'opted' for disability. I don't blame them at all. They'd be in an even worse position having to pay for car maintenance to get them to their shitty jobs.

Also the gov't has perversely incentivized this by ripping all benefits away the moment you get a job, no matter how little it pays or how many hours you get.

But don't be confused, these people on disability aren't enjoying life at all, it's just a slightly more humane way to live.

The main driver of the growth of public education costs is legislative funding cuts. As government has stopped paying for higher education, this cost has been shifted to families, making what once was affordable, increasingly unaffordable. This crisis is is the result of choices we've made.

This can be exploited by Shitbook and the likes. Messenger for example displays a fake notifications prompt with an arrow pointing to the "Allow" button and the only way to proceed is to tap the allow button, at which point they'll call the real OS-provided notifications prompt (which looks just like the fake one) and hope you also click allow on that one (of course the real one can be denied but unless you're tech-savvy you wouldn't even notice/understand what just happened or how a company could be so nasty to be pulling tricks like this).

A caveat to lying: even if your particular jurisdiction doesn't criminalize lying to law enforcement, it can result in a truly devastating jury instruction.
