Yes because doctors are licensed by their specialty. Which is only achieved by years of direct subject matter training...coupled with continuous education.

The doctor in question is not licensed for infectious disease.

You should never trust a doctor speaking outside of his expertise.

However most of the celebrity doctors do that every single day which is an insult to the entire medical profession.
UBI+further education sounds like a great idea. After graduating people won't be stressed about finding a job to help pay for their mounds of student loan debt and will have the knowledge to work on projects that they find meaningful.
Yeah, that is weird that OSX can't deal with HEIC well.
The technology to enable next-level social interaction in VR already exists.

- eye tracking

- facial muscle sensors (that sit between your skin and the rest of the headset)

- deepfake ML

- high resolution scanning

Combine all four, and wala, you can inhabit a high resolution deepfake model of yourself in real time. It’s only a matter of time before this becomes a thing, maybe one or two generations of headsets. It will be mind-blowing.
That's the big question mark for remote -- There just aren't many jobs at an equivalent level of a $250k engineer in Boise. So often if you want to work as an engineer in Boise, you work for the airport or hospital or whoever has a 'real' business that needs software help -- and their pay scales are muuuch closer to $125k than $200k. Outside of engineering, I know a friend who did design for a web dev shop in the Midwest who 5x'ed his salary by moving to the Bay Area and joining Facebook.
Because a lack of an accept attribute on the file-input element has a defined meaning in HTML, and that meaning is accept="⋆/⋆".

Which, in turn, means that the form isn't putting any constraint on what's being uploaded at all, and so there's no reason to think that the form is asking for an image in the first place. At that point, it's asking for a file. Any file. And so it has the semantics of taking whatever file you provide it as-is, with no transformation necessary. Just like when a client requests `Cache-Control: no-transform` from a server. It wants the thing on the other side sent to it as-is.

And, it's important to support those semantics (and that particular implicit meaning for leaving out the `accept` attribute), because such "as-is" uploads have many use-cases. The form might be e.g. a computer-forensics or antivirus-signature portal, that wants an evidence file; or the interface to a hex editor or decompiler, that expects a raw binary with arbitrary extension in unknown format; or the SCP component of an old web SSH terminal emulator. All these existed on the web, and used <input type="form">, before the `accept` attribute was introduced. So "not using the `accept` attribute" has to retain semantics that are backward-compatible with that legacy.
I have been following unherd for a bit and while they are on the let's do as the Swedes side of things, this is wellreasoned long form interviews with established experts and opinion makers.

I don't understand mechanism on why something like this gets censored. I think it is obvious that this sort of "overcensoring" will come back on youtube in a negative way; and possibly even hurt the case for lockdowns and careful reopening.
Actually it was mostly the populace who shut down business activity of their own accord, at least in the U.S. See https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/07/upshot/pandemic-economy-g...

That wasn't the question. The question was should they be banned?

I'd say no.
Showing pictures in a personal scrapbook != sharing them with a third party (Facebook) and (depending on the privacy settings), potentially the entire world. Further, the digital nature of the photo means that any person on the internet viewing the photo that grandma is "showing" can download it for personal use, whatever use that might be (including illicit).

An analogy in scrapbook terms would be if grandma walked into a public square and put photos of her grandchildren onto a billboard, and every person who walked up to see them can peel off a copy, with no limit to the number of copies that can be peeled off this way.

I'd argue that's unhealthy behavior though. As someone who has less need for daily social contact, having my coworkers leaning on me for their "daily recommended dose" of social interactions isn't healthy for me. I came in to the office because I didn't have a choice not to and avoiding social contact with my coworkers at work isn't really something I can effect without obviously hiding away.

It's not to say that it won't be a problem, but introverted folks have been forced into being in offices even when it stressed them out and caused them mental health issues for years. If the extroverts are getting the other end of it now, there's plenty of room to find clubs, meetups, gyms, and other hobbies. Just because I work with you doesn't mean I'm now obligated to be your social support network.
Don't strawman, they never mentioned Hitler.
But there's a solution that's neither complicated nor complex, greatly reduces the effort required in the areas mentioned and virtually eliminates those mistakes: don't collect data from my machine.

This solution has been successfully used before, even by Microsoft themselves!

Note that you can still collect crash dumps and usage data (at the risk of reintroducing some of the problems solved by not collecting other people's data) if you just ask nicely (and clearly) and the user decides to allow it. Office and .NET used to do this.
Nice! Does that work alongside reading in via chunks and writing via row_groups? If I have a 500GB CSV will it work?
Celery can be backed by RabbitMQ, not sure if that's what you meant, but all of what you described can be abstracted away. I didn't have the same experiences with months taken to get up to speed. Moreover, at work RabbitMQ is probably our most stable underlying tool, perhaps toe to toe with Redis. And that's saying a lot, since I consider Redis to almost be a piece of art in how great of a tool it is.

Back to RabbitMQ though, we run a HA 2 node deployment (just one active writer) and have been for over 3 years, requiring minimal changes or any kind of maintenance whatsoever, has scaled to hundred plus queues, going from some with super high numbers of messages per second, some with only tens of messages per day. Some queues stay low and process fast, others are heavy jobs that get enqueued all at once and generate hundreds of thousands of jobs.

Sure, if you have a service that interacts with disks you should have automated a monitor that cover your IOPS consumption, but I don't see how that's specific to RabbitMQ, you should be doing this for all your instances.

All in all, these are two identic instances, one active, one failover, and in a world of Kafkas and Pulsars and understanding the ins and outs of SQS pricing and capacity allocation, RabbitMQ is a tool that I consider simple to administer and allows me to sleep at night.

Interesting how the same tool can evoke such different reactions, but whatever works - works.
Is it true that if the labor rates in San Francisco were lower you would have more buildings 100% agreed.

But its like your business is setting money on fire to keep the building warm.

Could you use a regular unleaded instead of premium gasoline? Sure.

Would it be better for the business? Yes at the margin.

Should you spend any time deciding what is the cheapest gasoline to use to set money on fire? Not until you decide to use something besides $10 bills as fuel.
When I end a phone call, Verizon does not call me back with suggested other calls I should listen to next.

The opportunity to be a neutral carrier is sacrificed by any platform that deploys a recommendation engine. Recommending content is a form of curation, which makes them a publisher, conceptually. It does not matter if the content curation is done by hand or by an algorithm that was built by hand.
It requires the grandmothers remove the pictures when requested by the child's guardian.
The answer is Direct Response (aka performance) advertising where they only pay if there was a directly measurable action taken (e.g., app install, or online store purchase).
During recessions, companies are going to move their ad spend from places with questionable ROI to those they can directly measure the impact on.
This isn't just the College Board. You wouldn't believe how many schools and educators out there now just assume you have a Twitter and Facebook feed and check it regularly. Email and phone calls are completely out of the picture now.
According to TFA, programmers at Amazon are required to be on call for a full week at a time. More programmers could mean sparser on call shifts, but it could also mean shorter on call shifts -- i.e. instead of going from one week every two months to one every eight months, go to two or three days every two months.

Being effectively at work 24 hours a day for seven days straight sure sounds like a recipe for burnout to me. As TFA notes, these people aren't doctors, the only thing that happens if a glitch takes two hours to fix rather than one is that Amazon loses some money. Amazon naturally would prefer not to lose that money, but its workers presumably would prefer to be able to sleep too.
Even the American notion of Free Speech spelled out in the First Amendment only restricts the government's power to censor speech. Private enterprise can censor anything it wants on its platforms, unless it comes under the jurisdiction of some kind of regulator. This is why it's so dangerous to democracy that so much political speech these days relies on unregulated privately-owned platforms.
They would not however post it in newspaper and they would not stick it to common board. Showing it in public and showing it to few friends is different.

Also, few years ago, grandma needed to be given picture by parents. She would not snap picture parents did not wanted, because cameras were not something you normally have with you all the time.
Bingo. Remote first favors larger companies over smaller ones, partly for this reason.
5% of revenue requiring much less than 5% of engineering time sounds like an awesome part of a business. Hardly small, either.
Parents have the right to decide whether or not their children's picture should be public, what is so insane about this? Copyrights have nothing to do with this
Good! I don't post photos of my kids on the internet and I get so annoyed when other people take it upon themselves to post them for me. Clearview AI has made it even more clear than it already was that any data you give these companies can and will be used against you.
I don't think anyone in this thread was involved in the construction of the German constitution.

People are allowed to have opinions in opposition to that of the sitting government, including ones that sat well before we were even born.
If Grandma were running around distributing fliers with the kids' photos on them, there'd be no controversy—that's weird, and of course the parents can ask her to stop, and if they ask, she should, and it was kinda crazy to do it in the first place.

Posting them on Facebook is exactly that but 1,000x worse, but it's "normal" so we have a debate about whether it's right for them to ask her to stop.
This sucks. The Atlantic was doing great reporting in the beginning of corona, pointing out how few tests were.being done. It was necessary work that reminded me how important real journalism is.

> They were proud that they owned the product all the way from the code on the back to the customer at the front. So if you didn't want to be responsible for some level of ops, you knew that going in.

There's a huge difference between being responsible for (some level of) ops and literally climbing out of bed when the pager rings. At work, I'm responsible for the operations of the services I develop, which means that I'm doing third level support during normal business hours and I write the playbooks that first/second level support executes. You certainly won't catch me working after 5 PM.
It would be better to say that your laptop is running software on the intranet, not the internet.

Also at least by convention, localhost is only accessible via the loopback interface. This allows it to be accessible even if there is no physical network to connect to, but also means that it is only accessible on the same physical/virtual computer that it is running.

To let other people in the coffee shop access your software you would need to connect to a public or private interface.
The houses he mentions are likely 4-6x his take-home. Coming from the south-east, he may well be used to a market where good houses are 2x your take-home.

Some parts of the country do have similar price-to-income ratios for property as California, but in general I think you're getting a much newer & better condition house at that ratio compared to California real estate. For example much of the Bay Area was built in the 60's.

UBI feels like a way of addressing the incoming loss of jobs due to automation.

> No, people work more than they currently need to because they are exercising prudence, common sense, and planning for the future. Which every adult human being is supposed to take responsibility for doing for themselves, and not expect a "trust fund" to magically take care of for them.

It may not be materially possible for everyone to actually do this within our current economic organization in light of automation. People that benefit from UBI may very well be responsible and organized.

We can twist this a little and say that the responsible and organized thing is to plan for automation, to develop skills that make sure you aren't put out of work, etc. Personally I find that position logically valid, but I ideally would push for UBI while also making sure I have a good chance for not needing it.

A cynical take is that UBI is just enough to ensure the masses of unemployed would be complacent enough to not riot.
He accepted as "Chief of the Cancer Program" of the World Health Organization. Where are you reading that he was a director of the WHO?

I was a nudist at home with my parents and sometimes other family members. I didn't like naked pictures of me being shared with strangers.

I was comfortable being naked around people I knew and trusted.

My grandparents didn't always give a shit about my comfort levels and shared pictures of me in various states of dress with others.

I think I should have a clear and cut right to decide if I'm comfortable or not. Especially when I voiced those concerns as a kid.
If the grandmother took the pictures she would have copyright over them. But the GDPR isn't concerned about copyright but instead the handling of personal data. I don't think it's a stretch to consider one's photo to be personal data.

Social media sites are mined for photos to be used for facial recognition apps. While you're concerned about the slippery slope of being able to post what you want online, companies and individuals right now are using your photo in ways you probably didn't imagine. I don't think it's clear cut.
Having done a recent stint at a Silicon Valley startup, I was honestly shocked to discover most of the engineers I was working with were at the bottom half of those I've worked with in my career. I think there are far more great engineers in SV than many places, but the truly great ones are still relatively rare and gobbled up by wealthier companies rather quickly. Even at 10x the normal amount of top notch engineers, that still only means a few thousand in the SV area.
so, the bigger an org, the higher the likelihood of stories like this popping up.

also, the incentives and their structure play a part in how this unfolds.

It’s also very curious to me that only a certain type of person runs into situations like these: either they don’t know better or they have accepted the conditioning that work is more important than themselves. it’s sad really.

i think it’s really really important to have a good mentor with a strong set of values to help you navigate the corporate landscape.

i also think it’s important to pull a Ghandi (ie be the change you want to see) as often as possible. for example: one think i would inoculate in young devs is that it’s not acceptable to set meetings earlier than 9am or later than 4pm. meetings during lunch were not accepted. i would be pretty vocal about morons that worked over the weekend because they had some free time. i would also push really hard against management that had their sick little practices to extract more work out of the drones. this mostly worked because i got the job done - but again: you have a voice. you are NOT a machine
Or in other words, people in Lagos and Jakarta will now have access to higher salaries (not as high as SF ones, but higher than their alternatives) because they can now work for Facebook and similar companies, rather than being discriminated because they happened to be born in Africa.
> Instead of specifying the requirement programmatically, they spent their time sending out tweets and writing help docs.

Point of order: separate people, with separate/independent/concurrent job responsibilities. It very likely wasn't the programmers tweeting and writing docs. (Heck, I expect that the College Board doesn't even retain any full-time programmers, only contracts with firms for projects.)
I only have a limited selection bias based on where I work, but it seems like there is disproportionately more athletes in these highly competitive companies in the bay area than I've seen elsewhere.

This person was division I MIT crew, this person runs 200mi ultra-marathons, many coworkers have done an Ironman or two, many are cycling 100+mi/wk, many are running marathons or 10mi a day at sub six-minute pace.

Where I grew up the number for any of these things would be zero, but here it feels common. I'd guess partly highly selective entry from top schools biases towards people that are also athletes, or that there's some positive correlation with competitive/ambitious people and making sure to exercise. I suspect the normal no-exercise indoorsy stereotype is actually wrong when compared to other people on average.
It highlights a very real and very hard to solve problem with newspapers though.

I read a dozen sites on the internet, a dozen newspapers. I can't afford to pay a $10 monthly subscription fee to all of them so in the end I end up paying nothing to any of them.

If, however, I could pay a reasonable monthly fee which would give me access to all of the newspapers I read then I would do it. It's easier than getting around adblock or searching for open alternatives.
This is basically enough to get me to switch back to Apple's photos ecosystem for photo management.
To get people to eat veggies, sure you can ban the production and sale of junk food.

I prefer to live in a world where both are available and the preferred solution is education about the effects of junk food.
100% not related is probably too strong, but reports say they've broken readership records and have added ~90,000 subscribers since March. It seems much more plausible that the collapse of the events and ad businesses due to current economic conditions are the driver.
Appalling behaviour by YouTube.
Until recently I admired Google, no longer, this kind of opinion based censorship (facts have yet to be established re covid), makes my blood boil, Google must be urgently regulated to protect free speech.
Is it really possible to generate $50/day on mturk? What kind of tasks would pay that much?
It's not bad, it just misses a lot of the benefit of 'basic' income. For example, my wife had just finished her education and was looking for a job when COVID hit. She's randomly just as hosed as everyone that actually lost an existing job, but qualifies for none of the same relief.

The benefit of the 'universal basic' part of UBI is that it just washes away all edge cases, and it's pretty hard to feel like you've been wronged by it.
> Does this mean that, broadly, under GDPR if anyone in any photo you've ever taken and put on social media complains, you have to take it down?

It goes against what we've been used to on-line, but it does make sense. Even without GDPR, I'd say basic manners would oblige you to take a photo down if a person featured on it asked you to.
You don't need to keep the primary development team as primary oncall 24/7. "Hire people to keep an eye on things off-hours, follow playbooks when necessary, and escalate to the right people if they can't resolve" is a reasonable pattern that folks have done for decades the world over.
You get less incentive alignment perhaps, but it really isn't hard to come up with ways to make creating work for another team unappealing.
> It doesn't replace people making things, though. You'd still want to work and provide value to improve your situation.

Doing shitty jobs usually doesn't improve one's situation though. If you earn minimum wage you're going to be better off just trying to gain a marketable skill and living off your income.

You say 'easier for people to take risks'. Well, yeah. So who's gonna be dumb enough to keep scrubbing grime off the bathroom floor when its easy and safe to invest in yourself? There's a solution to that of course, which is "pay people more", which is great. Now people get paid enough to merit working a shit job even with UBI. But now we have a different problem, things cost more to produce, which means prices go up! How much do they go up? Well probably to around the point at which the guy scrubbing grime is at the same level of economic wealth as before, and the guy who stopped to work on self improvement suddenly can't survive on his not-longer-basic UBI.

We need people to perform shitty jobs. Increasing real wages would be a good step to do that. Talk of people being able to take more risks in entrepreneurship is just techie dreams about how it could be better if their privileged economic condition were a little more privileged. It's not wrong, but it's hardly an important problem for society.
i don’t count it as in: i worked more than 3 weekends, but not because i had a choice )
Facebook really isn't in the business of intermediating domestic (or legal) disagreements.
It seems like people would like it, being that it's in their own interest, but you should hear how much people today disregard social welfare programs. Either throwing their hands up in the air that it would be impossibly expensive, and/or bread would become $20.
So much work was put into the design of HTTP and Websockets in particular to avoid so many problems. Like how Websockets were made incapable to talk to any non-websocket TCP endpoint, to avoid exactly this class of attack where your browser would connect to your local SSH, FTP, ... server. There is a built-in Origin validation mechanism, and every websocket connection is going to come with its Origin and Cookies clearly marked. The browser will even disallow cross-origin requests that can modify data (e.g. non-GET) by default. If you go out of your way to build something like Webpack's websocket endpoint and forget to validate anything, it seems a bit dishonest to blame this on "security of the Web".
Even more than that, computing the branch offsets by hand is tedious and error prone. You remember the important opcodes pretty quickly, but recomputing the branches every time you modify the program is a huge pain.
How would you do that in practice? Tax capital gains annually?
Is this accurate? I definitely do a mega backdoor roth and I'm at Amazon.
