I'm sure many people find ish.app useful. It failed for me mostly because the emulation layer slows things down too much. I wanted to run emacs on my iPad Pro (2017) and it is indeed straightforward to get it (and many other things) running under ish. Maybe some people would be happy with it; for me the sluggishness of emacs in ish made me look for other solutions. At the moment, I'm using iVim, which works great and is a native ios app so very snappy.
Try to think of it more in this way. Men are under-represented in breastfeeding and giving birth. How come we aren't looking for solutions to these issues? It's easy to claim this is plain old biology, not sexism. We need to be looking for solutions that allow women to also contribute to child births and rearing in these ways.

That explains why their crap is so expensive, and you can hardly find an alternative product. Amazon is a good guy here trying to lower the consumer price for that shitty piece of plastic, but no.

I'm skeptical of the claim that it's easier to train a neural net than to hand-code a set of heuristics _when the heuristics are already known_. For the time being, optimal results with neural nets need more data and more computing power ("more" because it's never enough) and are primarily useful when a hand-coded solution is not possible.

I also don't understand how it is possible for a neural net (or any approximator, really) to approximate a "precision heuristic" faster than a hand-coded heuristic and without a gross loss of well, precision in the order that would make the results unusable for engineering or scientific tasks. Could you elaborate?
Odd, I might have concluded that mpears09 logged into webmin, created the shellshock user via that interface, ran or implemented some variation of the shellshock patch script[1] manually as that user, and maybe cleaned up when he disabled it. The actions also might not have been executed in a way that would have been logged.

Whether maintenance of some aspect of the CES server was part of his role at KSU at the time or if records exist of someone asking him to do that (or, say, to patch drupalgeddon and he did a 2-for-1) is what I wonder.

Can you explain this point a bit more? Are you talking about political tensions, e.g. Antifa beating you up if you dared wear a MAGA hat, or am I misunderstanding you.

The majority of people at the time lived in rural Asia, so anything said about women in the anglosphere applies under 1% of the worlds population.

Traditional societies however had essentially no women working outside the house once they got married if they weren't destitute.

Nihilism goes hand-in-hand with atheism, doesn't it? If you don't believe that the Universe is operating according to the scheme(s) of some kind of "divine being(s)", it's hard to see where any "meaning" would come from. It's just mindless and possibly deterministic motion. That is unless you can somehow derive "meaning" as an emergent concept and see it as significant. Desires originate in biology that has evolved through natural selection; morality and expectations originate with peoples attempts to control how other people behave as mediated by power structures in society.
For what it's worth, I work at a place that would write a similar domain object, and we would use both of those and not feel bad about it.

The FUD on money as a double is way overblown in my opinion - it only becomes a bad idea once you have to do precise math with the it (which is admittedly a lot of the time when you're dealing with money, but surprisingly rarely in some domains).
However, that disclaimer exists in all major open-source licenses, including all such software explicitly marketed such that a Reasonable Person (in the legal sense) would interpret it as a statement of fitness for purpose.

Thus, the disclaimer in the license cannot double as a disclaimer in the social arena.

Some forms of Australian scrub are fairly thick. You aren't always walking on a forest floor amongst trees or pushing through soft bracken. Some types are dense and spiky. If it's too steep for grazing, in a country with a meagre population like Australia I'm not surprised at all that some areas go unnoticed.

odds of crash for b => 99.99% => 1 / 10000

improvement (odds ratio in this case) is then 300x = odds of crash for b / odds of crash for a

At some point California will hit the socialist threshold that will interfere with its main revenue source, Googles, Facebooks etc. It is at that time that the encampments will become permanent favellas, like in Venezuela or Brazil.
Gender norms are partly genetic. Historically women were either breastfeeding or late-stage pregnant their entire adult lives and so to survive they needed men to work, so that is what our gender norms reflect. For example, men who doesn't take care of their women are still seen as scum. Not because there is any need for that any longer, but because our genes tells us that such men are trash and should be shunned. So you wont find any society which doesn't pressure men to become a provider and take care of women.
Have you tried 'remedy'?
Prop 13, one of the major factors in the CA housing crisis, was a Republican led initiative passed in 1978. This may come as a surprise to you, but CA was Republican leaning until fairly recently (remember Arnold Schwarzenegger?). A lot of the factors that are contributing to the current housing crisis were established long before CA turned solidly blue.
I hope I'm not misinterpreted as claiming that a balance must be struck between strong encryption and backdoored encryption. I was talking about a higher level balance, of which encryption is only one issue. We agree that the strength of encryption itself leans heavily towards the extremes; a "balance" on that particular issue is usually just misleading rhetoric.

I've not infrequently found nihilism intellectually attractive. Usually, something like political nihilism.

One problem that I think has long been overlooked is the foundation of human rights. Only in the past roughly five years has there been much scholarly contribution on the matter.

What could possibly ground human rights? And if they have no ground, then aren't they simply the same as the preference for, say, peeing standing up vs peeing sitting down?
My resume has a few items with Google Cloud and BigQuery mentioned including “Best Use of Google Cloud” at a hackathon.

Why would there be an AI winter? Was there a car winter after cars became a growing product? Was there a processor winter after microprocessors became a growing product? ERP software?

Didn’t the previous AI winter happen because the hardware wasn’t advanced enough to make the technology useful to most people? Since that is no longer the case, why this consistent belief that there will be another winter?

Here in New York, at least, the eligibility for those units is based on the median income in the neighborhood where the building is. In some cases these affordable units end up with requirements that are pretty substantial, e.g. https://www1.nyc.gov/site/hpd/services-and-information/housi...

IMO this is just a reaction to an imbalance, because clearly the market is unable to balance itself.

This statement is shocking to me. I guess that you intend to say people are rarely the direct individual victim of petty street crime e.g. robbing, assault, etc?

Why? The time passed for the Boltzmann Brain won’t necessarily be tied to its real frame of existence i think, it may simulate any timeframe imaginable, depending on its starting conditions.
This is an interesting topic. Although I don't have much knowledge in this area, randomly arranged atoms forming Boltzmann Brains and keep observing random bits handed out by universe doesn't seem all that likely to me.

My main reasoning is due to how we tend to classify the knowledge coming from the observed universe, and how logically stable it is.

Imagine this, you are Boltzmann Brain and track a randomly arranged consciousnesses. You sleep, go to work, eat, and sleep again as a human being.

Main problem is that this kind of existence is very stable for a Boltzman Brain, as in when you wake up you see yourself in the same universe (or at least a very similar one).

Now you have to ask why you are classifying these randomly arranged bits handed out by universe as a human life, but not as an alien one. Or why not you are imagining you are something supernatural like a god? Just shift the bits handed out by universe to you and next time you wake up, you will be a completely different being. It seems to me that this should be possible if you were a Boltzmann Brain and existence would be extremely chaotic.

It seems to me that there is more to existence and consciousness than just reading and classifying random bits handed out to you by universe. It seems to me that logical stability is extremely important for our kind of existence and I don't see how Boltzmann Brain theory would possibly keep the universe logically stable.

Physicists providing an insight into math is absolutely not what I was talking about - I was talking about lay people providing an insight into theoretical physics.

To suggest that theoretical physicists are lay people with respect to math is silly. Also, I don't understand what you mean by a "connection between eigenvalues and eigenvectors" as the two seem quite obviously connected a priori?
Rather tautological article.
As a non California resident I love the idea of California making itself more business unfriendly.
It's hard to find the right tone between "things need to change" and "everything is horrible".

Good teamwork is just about my favorite thing (I even prefer co-op games to solo). You might find it, for sure you can build it, and even when you have to work your butt off for it, I think it's still less work than killing yourself 60+ hours a week.
I think we observe that in primate societies as well. So saying that the modern / western view is an anomaly is a bit of an understatement.
Name a single instance of a lay person without a background in physics discovering the basis behind a phenomenon since 1900.

For some reason, physics seems to be disproportionately popular among armchair theorists compared to other fields like math or chemistry.
I think you'd need a few orders of magnitude more skilled workers to build a carrier vs. building a new airframe. I think the end skills will be much more useful to a developing economy as well (since they're better suited to heavy industry vs. more technical skills when developing a plane) but I could definitely be wrong there.

FULL DISCLOSURE - My name is Edward, I was one of the earliest team members at DigitalOcean and lead the customer success organization there in the early days.

I have not been at the company for 3+ years so want to make crystal clear I don’t know “intimately” what’s going on at the organization. With that said, I still know enough about the business to say the following.

Been reading about developers, business owners, etc worrying about your application stability or fearing the need to migrate to another infrastructure, all warrented feelings. I want to share some thoughts as an (old)insider.

DIGITALOCEAN IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE. You don’t make $200M+ in ARR and all of a sudden shutdown. Especially as a company who has always prioritized the BEST product experience. Prioritized the BEST customer experience. If you’ve been a customer of DO, you know they go above and beyond you. DigitalOcean’s offering is still by far the most developer-friendly and delightful infrastructure experience on the market.

One of my biggest frustrations when I worked there was the lack of advanced features offered for scaling applications, I'm shockingly surprised that in the past few years they quickly launched Kubernetes, Database as a service, and Object Storage, granted all table stake stuff that AWS already has, but nevertheless has made DigitalOcean a very mature product. I'm low-key annoyed they didn't launch this when customers were yelling at me as the customer success point person, begging for all these features...anyways good for those that are customers today :)

As the co-founder mentioned above, the business has gone through several CEO changes with the purpose of preparing for an even grander expansion. So far hasn't worked as planned. When leadership changes, rockiness always occurs, and it’s up to the next CEO to steer the ship. I don't know the new CEO and have no clue if he's any good, but I wish him good luck. Layoffs happen when businesses are tanking, but they also happen when a business is preparing for another launch at greatness. I'm truly empathetic to those that were laid off today, as a fellow DO-Shark that can't feel good. Even though you are likely folks I've never met, my thought are with you.

If you are a developer, DigitalOcean will always be a place for you to incubate, innovate, and grow your business. I'm confident of that.
Neither is toilet water, shower water, most tap water, water used to humidify the hotels, or any of a thousand other uses of water.

The water in the fountains is closer to grey water (toilets, shower, etc) than drinking water.
It can be a bit exhausting when online physics forums get crowded by people who clearly have no understanding of physics asking for an explanation of whether their "pet theory" makes sense.

I don't know why, but physics seems to be a much more popular target for these type of people than any other field.

While this is the whole "NIMBY" thing... is that really a problem? No one complains that Americans can't vote in Britains elections, to set their laws. The whole point of voting is that the people who actively live there get to decide what happens to their city.
Wealth inequality is real and I think it's good to have some sort of pushback on it, pay ratio caps or otherwise. At the same time California is so stupidly dysfunctional that I don't think they deserve any more tax revenue - San Francisco alone had a higher budget in 2019 ($12 billion) than 13 entire states, yet absolutely nothing gets done.
There would be nothing stopping a "divine being" from creating a meaningless world, but they approach things from the other direction. The world as they can see it has no meaning, so there would be no reason to believe there is a designer.
"I have written a lot of Go (hundreds of thousands of LOC)..."

Go only appeared about 10 years ago. The industry standard is 50 lines of production code a day. 50/day * 250 working days a year = 12.5k loc/year. So it would take you how many continuous years to write 200k LOC?
I'm failing to understand what exactly sparked the fury. To me this sounds much nicer than the alternative.
Nihilism is a logical fallacy and to believe in it is utterly delusional. To assert “nothing” is to contradict the assertion. To assert “nothingness“ or that “everything is nothing” or that “nothing exists” is actually just a form of materialism in which the concept of a void is reified as just another kind of thing. If someone was truly a nihilist they would have to refute nihilism, for nihilism could not possibly exist, nor could nothing or any nothingness be established. Nihilism is logically impossible.
Can you expand on that?

If a state is possible, isn’t an infinite amount of permutations will form that state? Isn’t that the definition of a non zero probability?
Unlimited PTO is definitely less time off than advertised, but these horror stories of race-to-the-bottom zero-time-off cultures are largely unfounded. I worked in SF for two years while at a series B startup and by the nature of the industry and my role, got to know many people at different startups.

I took something like, 3 work weeks off per year; most people took a bit more than I did, with a few taking 6+ weeks off in a year. The guy who took the least vacation, that our manager had to remind to take time off, probably took around 1.5-2 weeks off.
Anyone else remember the PET Rabbit [1]?

Listening to boring podcasts or reading machine learning papers in bed really helped me deal with my stress related sleeping issues. I'd be fine all day, but when I tried to sleep my mind would start racing and I'd start stressing about my startup.

Human rights are just a concept that humans have come up after thousands of years experience with systems of laws. The fact that some societies manage to do without them shows that they aren't really essential.

Edit: Or to put it another way, ideas about legal systems can evolve over time, by analogy to how biological systems can evolve. Ideally, we'd be looking at what works and what doesn't and adopting best practices.
