Assumptions like this is what makes search so terrible for many many companies.

You can't assume that customers would type one thing or another - you need to gather lots of query log data and see what you find. You'd be surprised how much variation there is, but once you do have this data you can then find patterns to cover lots of (but not all) cases.

None of the recent AAA games work. By none I mean not 99.9%. Proton is not a relyable solution to play games on Linux, it workish on old games and even the one that work have really annoying issues that you woudn't have a on Windows.

Yes, IRC servers can support or enforce TLS for the transport and end users can use OTR (Off The Record) with many IRC clients. IRC uses TCP which Tor supports. There are IRC servers on Tor. Here [1] is an example of WeeChat + OTR. OTR is E2E encryption.

Most oil traders don’t actually want physical delivery. They are just trying to profit off price movements. Traders have moved on to June contracts already. There’s no volume on May contracts at this point. No one wants to actually pay for physical delivery so the price is tanking since there are no bids as we get closer to expiration tomorrow.

React/Angular/Vue can be used for very specific use cases indeed and can be really powerful tools. But lets face it, for most of the websites, you don't need those tools. It's even worst most of the time regarding browser performances, accessibility , SEO, navigation.

Developers are always looking for shinning things. And in the end you end up with really complex architecture.

I'm just saying that in 95% of the cases. You don't need those tools. But only simple "old techs" that are battle tested and works flawlessly.

The good side about the common ADHD medications (various stimulants) is that they mostly help within half an hour, if they help at all.

So apart from the hassle of getting a diagnosis and prescription, at least you won't have to endure months of side effects before you know whether you can get any better.

My reaction to Siri is either amazement at how well it worked or disgust in its failure on seemingly simple queries.
Seems like a cooked-up diagnosis to me, visualizing things in your mind is a skill just like anything else - but you seem to think others can literally see what they are thinking about when I am nearly certain that is not the case for anyone, barring those with mental illness/hallucinations. The only time I've experienced that in my life was on psychedelics. Everyone wants a disability these days though I guess.
Not sure what you are attempting to commercialize, but your website doesn't explain at all what you have made. Unless I'm supposed to guess it from your background picture of 3d rendered glasses with some sensors in them...

From most studies I've read on the subject, there are a couple big issues. Firstly, physics is hard. It's very difficult to get a useful amount of digital information presented that closely to your eye, where it is in focus, and comfortable to look at. Scaling up resolution beyond a low-res screen is even more difficult. Secondly, tech just isn't there yet. The closest thing I've seen in the market is Google Glass, and that was a huge flop. It also looked dorky as hell, while providing very little real value. Sure, you could read a text, if you squinted and focused your attention up and to the right, but at that point, pulling out your phone is just as easy. It it also makes you look like a strange android while taking your attention away from the real world.

For a product like this to work in the market it has to meet a lot of requirements. Resolution, invisibility (as in, it doesn't feel like you're wearing a clunky awkward device on your face), battery life, safety (you're shining light into your eyes), and provide real, useful, functionality.

Useful functionality, to make it worth caring about a device like this, is good augmented reality integration. And I mean very good. If you put the device on your face and the mapping of the real world stutters for a second, you're going to hate it and never use it - and no one will buy it.

Also, no, being able to project a little cartoon monster on the surface of a table is not "useful" AR functionality...

He, yeah. In this case though, I was discussing with a friend about how to lessen the OCD of checking that the front door is locked.

Once when I was a teenager we had an unwelcome visitor who knicked a leather bag from our hallway, during just a normal day at lunch, all of us at home. Found it two stairs below, the thief must've been fairly disappointed in that it was just our shoe care bag and not a juicy swag bag :)

Since then I always check the door 1-3 times before hitting the bunk.
This is cool. I would like to subscribe to your newsletter (seriously).
It's sort of like the "All Lives Matter" thing. The "it's ok to be white" argument structure is designed so that either accepting it or denying it furthers the goals of white nationalists, because either has to be done in an extremely nuanced way that can't really happen in the context of a protest sign or a meme.
Google Photo's search is a similar source of amusement for me. While it's quite good, it also fails fairly regularly and sometimes amusingly. For me "turtle" includes understandable mistakes like fish, a snail, and a rock that does look a bit like a turtle. However "turtle" also includes this, a picture of sequined slippers reflecting light?! https://i.imgur.com/4aSlA4B.jpg

I'm guessing one of those reflections looks like a turtle? Or maybe a pattern on the floor, wall, or rug?

Although there are examples where I'm unsure if the AI is dumber than my 4yo or smarter than me. This is a result for "truck": https://i.imgur.com/JcgXZAG.jpg

However, trains have components called trucks! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_locomotive_components I'm unsure whether or not any of the wheel assemblies on these toy trains are considered trucks, so either the AI is extremely smart or slightly dumber than a 4yo.

> Are the right really in to defining sweeping social policies based on the output of academic models?

Whether proposing something new or preventing something new, the position needs to be defended with facts. The status quo gets extra points because we have experience with how it works, but equally important we have experience with how it doesn't work.

> That sort of worldview doesn't mesh well with attempts to simulate a planet inside a desktop PC.

I'm not really espousing that as much as experiments where possible or found (in the case of natural experiments), and sober consideration of the results. When's the last time you think you were presented with with a measured assessment of a major policy that wasn't blatently biased through omission of facts for one (or both!) sides from a popular public source such as a politician, activist group, or news agency (you'll get closest with the news, but they know their audiences and what keeps them coming back)?

This is less a problem of liberals and conservatives and more a problem of liberal and conservative politicians and activists warping messages because they inevitably become so tribal that their stated goals often end up taking a back-seat to the short-term gain of hurting the competing narrative at any cost.

The recent seroprevalence study performed in Santa Clara County [0] [1] used an immunoassay manufactured by Premier BioTech, Minneapolis, MN.

Their page entitled "PCR And Serology Based Testing Explained" does a very good job explaining what we both understand [2].

I stand by my opinion that it is unrealistic to use RT-PCR testing on the entire U.S. population. It is too sensitive and too time-consuming given the time constraints we are under. This Wash Post article (printed by MSN) describes why the CDC had to recall its initial testing kits. [3]

NO MORE GLOBAL WARMING! PROBLEM SOLVED! NOBODY DRIVING! THEY CAN'T GIVE THIS STUFF AWAY!
Generally, most genetic modifications like these are harmful to the competitiveness of the microorganism in the wild. It's possible that producing psilocybin could help it be more competitive, but this would be the exception rather than the rule. Generally, the organism expends so much energy and material producing the engineered substance that it's worse at doing other things.
That assumes the difference between the 50m person and the 10m person is worth 40m. Sports teams for example actually pay those kind of salaries, but individual teams don’t just blow unlimited budget on a tiny number of the most expensive players for each position.

That is only a very small part of why companies incorporate in tax havens.

Extradition policies, consumer protection laws, intellectual property status (ie whether you can use a tax haven incorporation to shield yourself from patent lawsuits or even to use it to hoard patents so you can use it as a base for launching law suits on others, forcing them to come to court in the tax haven jurisdiction for disputes)

There are so many things tax havens are used for. And that is why incorporating inside of the country where they are trying to get bailouts from is so important, otherwise the tax payer's money will be used against their own interests, with no way of enforcement.

Tax haven registered companies are the Nigerian Prince's of the corporate world. It is very possible they might be legit (and some very legit businesses are tax haven registered), but the very fact that they registered there on purpose is very telling in itself. Telling you they can swindle you with or without your consent.
The assumption there is at some point in the future they will start issuing dividends.
I totally agree as causation as a sort of generalization enhancer akin to regularization. In stats, there's the notion of some "true" parameter that's trying to be estimated, but you get all sorts of systematic errors creeping in if you estimate it wrong. If you get a good estimate of it, though, you've learned something "true" and that generalizes much better than systematically wrong versions. Like, if you figure out F and m and that F=ma, you're going to make really good predictions, regardless of how far from your original training you are. Other truths are still pretty limited (like the example of a social study finding the true treatment effect of something on affluent white 20 year olds in LA), but the scientific ideas of internal and external validity still apply quite nicely.

Unions don't have the same reputation in all countries. They're viewed very differently by much of the general population in the UK and US than they are in continental Europe.
I don't it's it true or not.

The reason they state for this, is not because they don't mind payment workers more(warehouse Amazon jobs often pay more than equivalent jobs elsewhere). It's because they don't want to consult unions for changes in their business as it can take awhile.

What if contracts in august are worse near the end ?
In addition to the other replies: it's less costly to keep businesses solvent and just have them re-open and re-hire people in the near future, than to have a huge amount of businesses collapse and then have to start everything over again.

In the USA at least, the government did write a check to individuals (below a certain annual income).
What do you think it is about being at work that prevents you from being distracted vs. being at home?
Not really. If you hold contracts at expiration (May expires tomorrow) then you are forced to take physical delivery of oil. No one wants oil right now, and if you take physical delivery you’re going to have to pay big premiums to store oil at Cushing. The discount reflects the premium storage costs.

Most oil traders just want to profit off price movements and not actually own physical oil. There’s no volume on May contracts now they’ve all moved on to June.

This is what gets me about so much of the coverage. Most of it revolves around "look at all the foolish people around me!" and is completely oblivious of the fact that they're also participating in the same thing.
>There are negative side effects from consuming the mushrooms which you don't get from purified psilocybin.

Such as? It tastes bad? Mild gastrointestinal effects (which can happen with various psychedelic substances even without ingesting the fungus scaffolding)?

> suggesting superiority because something is "from nature"

Obviously something being natural does not make it better. Neither does something synthetic mean it's superior. Additionally, this probably comes from marinol/dronabinol - while marijuana has one of the best safety profiles of any substances, extracted THC does not.

Organic magic mushrooms have an exceptionally high (physical) safety profile (see Nutt et al, the Lancet 2007) whereas the same is not true for extracted psilocin. It's a bit ironic you're calling him out for fallacies while committing some yourself.
Siri has lots of known problems. My biggest gripes are the lack of context and lack of a "discussion" state.

But Siri is a general domain problem, which is really really hard. Siri set the expectation you can ask it anything, and it works terribly and for most questions just gives up and runs a web search.

If you are an e-commerce company though, that's a narrow enough domain, because you know that for most people, they're looking for products to buy or compare. It's not an unbounded Q&A service.
Similarly, ask Siri to “play all of my music, except classical music”. Siri responds “OK, classical music coming up.”

We have more talented artists then we are willing to pay. Had we decided to pay more for art, there would be more of them. I am pretty sure about that, because currently many skilled talented people drop out of art to do stuff that earns money.

Also, afaik, contemporary youth is graduating into harder economy then we used to. They have more school debt (schools are more expensive and more of them do them) and healthcare is also more expensive.

> The big advantage of not having to deal with unions is being able to quickly make changes in reaction to changing market conditions.

You could say similar things about authoritarian governmental forms. Like democracy, unions give a bigger seat at the decision-making table to stakeholders outside of privileged leadership classes.
> If someone else is more qualified or better able to make a more informed decision than you are, then let them!

That is called delegation of responsibility. If you are not qualified to make a certain professional decision or if such a decision exceeds your delegated responsibility then you need to bring somebody else in, possibly a supervisor. That consideration is itself a decision and it should not be delayed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delegation

> Furthermore, how do you know that a wrong decision early is better than putting a decision off until a future time?

Exactly. You have no idea until you can determine the result. If you fail early and have the awareness to recognize that failure you are in a far stronger position for all forthcoming decisions. If you wait to make that decision all the time between now then remains an unknown and you also aren't completing any resulting actions. So not only does risk increase but your productivity proportionally decreases.

It makes sense to wait on a decision only when that decision is both critical and costly and even then the only advantage on waiting is to perform further investigation. There is no advantage in hesitation only for the sake of hesitation, because then you are allowing external factors to influence the conditions away from what you currently know.

> The hard part about making decisions often isn't just the decision itself, but also in understanding the risks and trade-offs of making a potentially wrong decision now

This isn't something that software developers are well equipped for. Other industries have specific processes and criteria for evaluating risk in a uniform and standard way as well as the processes to apply the proper controls. These are basic trade practices that are often affirmed through education and licensing with bodies of enforcement. Software, on the other hand, does not have a commonly recognized ethics enforcement/evaluation body to define these trade practices. In practice most of this is outsourced to security professionals, for example people holding one of the various ISC2 certifications: https://www.isc2.org/ethics/
