Also as someone without formal CS education: I'm surprised too, though not alarmed. I've very rarely felt like I didn't have the right education to do my job at giantmegacorp w/ CS PhD coworkers.

The bigger problem is that I feel a bit of a cultural outsider. There are jokes, stories, language that coworkers use and I'm just not familiar with. That can promote impostor syndrome and definitely affects interviews (eg "cultural fit").
Makes me feel better to know I'm not the only one. I mean, I suspected, but it's nice to get a confirmation!

> there is about 70 years of established case law

I have stated multiple times that I am aware that CC laws do not currently apply to these situations.

I am instead saying that these laws could be slightly changes, because, philosophical, there isn't much of a difference between a phone calls, and tweets or FB messages.

> is borderline absurd.

Apparently people don't think it is absurd to force phone companies to carry most phone calls.

And IMO, there isn't much difference, philosophically between a phone call and tweets or a FB message, even if our laws haven't been changed slightly to apply to them yet.
What age? I've noticed way more young people (teenagers and early 20s) exhibiting signs of anxiety and depression than people my own age (mid 40s). I never knew anyone with anxiety or depression growing up. But that probably has a lot more to do with mental illness not being discussed back than it not being around. But, even among me friend group nobody exhibited the signs that I see so clearly prevalent among my own kids' friend groups. Is it social media? Some chemical that has entered our environment? Is it something having to do with growing up in a post-9/11 world?
I would think it might carry some weight in the trades though. If I have some electrical component and it says GE on it, I am going to trust it a lot more than a "happy smile electronics" part. Whether that trust is misplaced or not is a different conversation, though.

> I think the actual conservative pain point is that they (correctly) observe that freedom of association (i.e. businesses get to choose their customers) only seems to apply when it benefits progressives

When conservatives run businesses and want to do hateful things, they get in trouble with the law. When liberals run businesses and don't let conservatives do hateful things on their platform, they don't get in trouble with the law! So unfair.

The difference is that conservatives have (correctly) been stripped of their ability to legally commit human rights abuses. A web site refusing to host your content for reasons not related to your race or religion, but instead based on the content of your character, is absolutely not a human rights abuse.
I mean... why should they?

>It’s not about title. It’s about accomplishments.

TBH, I don't even know what my official title is. I'd have to look it up in the HR system. And I've been in pretty much the same boat my whole (pretty long) career.

My current job made up some external title for me when I got hired but it didn't actually really parse and was too long so I've just gone through a few iterations that I've basically made up myself for external consumption.
> Also, I think Julia's audience tends to not hang out on StackOverflow as much, since they're often scientists primarily and software developers second.

My impression is the opposite. Julia forces you to think more about CS concepts early on (which is nice) while with Python or R you can get further by just figuring out the syntax for what you want to do and not worrying about how your code is executed.
If it weren't necessary for remote work and the kids doing online school shit (happens even with regular school in session, so much is online now—basically another form of remote work) I'd probably not bother to have home Internet, let alone a good home computer workstation.

We'll have to disagree. You can be perfectly well credentialled without having years of studying techniques that aren't very successful. It is really rewriting history to pretend that old style NN and backpropagation is the same as modern systems -- implementation techniques matter.
> I think you're imagining some kind of TLS framework that simply doesn't exist currently. It's not clear if you're misunderstanding what exists now, or you're alluding to a different possibility without clearly articulating it.

It's possible that I am misunderstanding it, but it appears that the point of contention is what the server will do when it receives a certificate from the client.

Ideally, it would check if it's valid by checking it against a CA. So, if someone who manages the server signed the CSR, then the server can validate the certificate with a CA that it manages. If it uses a 3rd party CA, then it would validate it using that.

What I'm not sure about is whether a browser can map a particular client side certificate to present to a server based on the server side certificate presented to the client. If it could, then it would be easy to determine whether one has connected to the correct server since the browser wouldnt' try to present the client side TLS cert to the wrong server.

> Even if the site was impersonating something like amazon.com, Amazon hasn't issued client certificates to all of its users so the whole point is moot.

Which was the point of my original post. If we had worked in making the process of generating and using client side certificates more user friendly, then companies would have done so as part of the account creation process (meaning poeople would use their client cert in addition to their username and password as part of the authentication process).

What we have now is major companies like Amazon using SMS based 2FA that would easily be compromised by re-routing the verification code message to another device since that factor is not under my control, but at the mercy of the phone company.
It depends on the target orbit. For launches to the ISS, you have to launch at the correct instant because even a few minutes later means the ISS is so far ahead it will take much longer, and use more propellant, to rendezvous.

I think they could probably delay a few seconds without too much trouble, but I guess the extra complication of recalculating the rendezvous isn't worth it because most of the time a few seconds won't matter anyway.
It's funny reading these again for me because when I first browsed bash.org I didn't speak English very well, so I didn't understand some of these jokes (or wasn't sure I understood them correctly).

The trick of it is that you can certainly practice selective breeding on humans. If you want taller humans, you can breed taller humans. Unethical, etc., but would work.

That is not what eugenics is. Dawkins might just have misunderstood what eugenics was as an applied science, but it would be egregious in itself if so.

Eugenics is the idea that we can "improve" the human stock through selective breeding, especially by excluding "undesirables". Any attempt to do this (unless you are omniscient) actually has the opposite effect -- variety is the fuel of evolution, not selection. Attempts to limit variability do things like create monocultures and other very dangerous and fragile systems. Acceptable risk for agriculture because our use cases are narrow (dangerous but mitigated by the fact that different strains are kept active for different purposes for most food stock), but for humans it would be a disaster.

It's a mistake to think that ethics is the only thing that prevents us from engaging in large-scale eugenics -- it's just an application of a misunderstanding of the underlying science; like trying to create a Maxwell's Daemon for your perpetual motion machine.

This is disastrous for the economy. This depression will last at least 3 years possibly could last a decade. Even if you just cut everyone's income by 10%, that's 15% less discretionary spending (assuming 1/3 of one's income is spent on housing) which puts the reduction in economic activity on par with the Great Depression.

Of course thinking only 10% of aggregate income was cut is wishful thinking; this is going to be the greatest worldwide depression we've seen yet. The UN is forecasting that 130 million more people could be at risk of starvation because of this, all because ~250k old people in developed countries died.
The old Web directories had a "Business" section where everything commercial or sale-related was listed. Then sub-levels of any other section, e.g. "Music", would include a cross-reference to the same topic in the "Business" hierarchy. But the default assumption was that you were looking for non-commercial, or at most ad-supported sites.

> Germany invested in a fleet because they, correctly, concluded that the only way to beat Britain was their navy.

The invested in a navy because the Kaiser was gelly of his cousin, so he promoted the people who wanted a big navy and used his power to get it. That would absolutely not have happened without the Kaisers personal opinion.

Many in Germany thought it was an idiotic idea and it was.

It was simply bad strategy, bad decision making against the strategic interest of Germany.

First of all, a Navy that is can operate in the North Sea is basically spending crazy amounts of money and saying publicly, "We build this to destroy Britain".

Second, they knew they could not out-build Britain, so trying would be utterly useless. And as it turned out, it was utterly useless when the war started.

If that is not bad strategy then nothing is.

> I think the issue for Germany was their economic strength was kind of shaky

That is not necessary a negative, they were very elite economically by WW1, but Britain could still cut their supply. Without that they would have been unbeatable.

> But it wasn't useless or opposed to what their aims should have been.

Yes it was. German had no strategic conflict with Britain, outside of a few people stuck in the last century who still believed that Germany need to create a colloquial empire.

Britain was perfectly happy with German economic growth and the British dominated world had nothing but advantages for Germany. Germany was increasingly surrounded by 2 strong powers and thought 'Great idea, lets do everything we can to get even more enemies'.

Britain was the natural enemy of Russia, by far the most dangerous enemy for Germany. There was a huge amount of common interest between Britain and Germany with regards to policy in the East.

Its only historically bad diplomacy on a level that boggles the mind that Britain ended up fighting on the side of Russia.

> War started, they got blockaded almost instantly (just like France in the Seven Years War), and that crippled them.

Yes and all the money they invest in a navy helped them how exactly?

And btw, the got blocked because their idiotic generals had the totally wrong believe that invading Belgium was a great idea.

Again, from the time Willy takes over, Germany foreign policy is just historically terrible and misguided. And its a real battle between the generals, the foreign office and the Kaiser himself who makes dumber moves. When Bismark left Germany was in a historically strong position in Europe, 20 years later the next 3 powerful states were against at them.
It's still a union of separate and culture/ political diverse countries.

As such it's basically guaranteed to keep country specific intelligence agencies.

A EU based agency would be interesting, but given how problematic it is to oversee it probably a nightmare to.

A stronger cooperation between EU agencies should be possible.

Besides cost, I like looking around and a trip to the store can be enjoyable on its own.

What are you trying to argue? That the company shouldn't bother because the factual information might be present below Trump?

Surely you understand that the company posting a fact checker is a more credible source, and that there are plenty of twitter users who, even if they disagree with Trump, may not be aware of the facts.

> With a signed exchange, that would allow them to nicely compartmentalize and contain privacy to their site, if they aren't required to load and run some Google supplied JavaScript.

Then I'd direct you to Gregable's comment (who is a person who actually works on AMP) that

> the AMP project is actively working to move the origin (control/host) of the AMP Javascript to the publisher's own domain, as well as allow a version served on an origin owned by the OpenJS Foundation, rather than Google.

So while this isn't supported yet, the people working on it do ant that.

I'm unconvinced by such slippery slope arguments, given that the pushback were Google to do something like inject nefarious js would be swift. They've had the ability to do so for, well, 20 years now. They haven't yet.

If I recall, there is a distinction. I believe aborted is a reserved term for mechanical or technical issues within last-minute launch sequence, while scrubbed is for unrelated issues (ie, weather).

Example topics:

* How to source and read cited sources of online publications

You're effectively calling for some sort of cultural revolution that stamps out anti-Semitism through proper education. Seriously we've tried this with other topics, all they're going to do is say you're indoctrinating children, then you'll inevitably fall into a defensive position where you feel like you have to back it up with numbers and eloquent arguments. Bam, they've won because there will always be a first movers advantage with information: your opponent can now make an outrageous claim that people see, internalize, and then never see your rational follow-up to. You're all so incredibly terrified of censorship when the real terror is right in front of your eyes: a torrent of information, engagement, and half-consumption.

This is so incredibly tedious. I see the same thing that I'm describing here happen with any number of semblance of social progress: homosexuality, trans rights, even marijuana legalization. This cyclic pattern has to be hell, I can't fathom any other possible explanation for such a thoroughly trained helplessness.

Maybe it's my own bias, but I find it tiresome that people assume that it's the majority opinion that most people don't like working from home and most people miss going into the office.

Random recent report I found that shows working from home might be more popular than some people assume:

https://www.newsweek.com/54-percent-americans-want-work-remo...

"An IBM survey released on Friday found that 54 percent of the 25,000 adults polled would like to be able to primarily work from home and 75 percent would like the option to do it occasionally. Once businesses can reopen, 40 percent of people responded that they feel strongly their employer should offer opt-in remote work options."
