The rise of right-wing, racist, nationalist, jingoist, corporatist strong-man authoritarianism.

Abstract:

Throughout the Holocene, societies developed additional layers of administration and more information-rich instruments for managing and recording transactions and events as they grew in population and territory. Yet, while such increases seem inevitable, they are not. Here we use the Seshat database to investigate the development of hundreds of polities, from multiple continents, over thousands of years. We find that sociopolitical development is dominated first by growth in polity scale, then by improvements in information processing and economic systems, and then by further increases in scale. We thus define a Scale Threshold for societies, beyond which growth in information processing becomes paramount, and an Information Threshold, which once crossed facilitates additional growth in scale. Polities diverge in socio-political features below the Information Threshold, but reconverge beyond it. We suggest an explanation for the evolutionary divergence between Old and New World polities based on phased growth in scale and information processing. We also suggest a mechanism to help explain social collapses with no evident external causes.
We take beautiful art for granted today, but imagine how breathtaking and inspiring it must have been for an Ancient Roman to see these mosaics, in a time when beautiful art and artistic form had not yet been commoditized as they are today.

It feels like different problem sets might yield different results no?

As an avid music fan the ways I've sought out new material go as follows:
- Originally, recommendations via trusted outlets / forum members
- Not so long ago, Spotify algorithm recommendations
- Currently, curated recommendations via trusted outlets / social media posters

My anecdotal experience between Netflix/HBO follows a similar pattern:

I tend to first go to a provider like HBO when seeking out new content, assuming quality is higher than whatever Netflix is pushing on me these days.

In contrast, a roommate of mine almost exclusively uses Netflix. She is more of the put on whatever, maybe pay attention maybe not type of viewer.

I guess summed up the main difference FOR ME between the two is HBO: "I need something good!" and Netflix: "I need something new!"
I live in a country where people brag about their 1200 Km per tank diesel cars and where diesel is very competitively priced, so free SC still makes a big difference.
I think a big part of the issue here, and one that's often overlooked, is that both browser vendors and the resulting spec are to blame for the emergence of many of these patterns. For example, making a button that visually looks like a link but keeps the correct semantics takes over 20 lines of non-trivial CSS, even today [1]. It is then no wonder that developers take the easier route of attaching event listeners to links instead.

Realistically, if we want to have sites that are semantically sound, writing them the correct way should be so easy that you'd have to go out of your way to make them broken. Even with standards as new as HTML5 we have nonsense like the <article> and the <section> tag. Quoting MDN [2][3], "[the] <article> element represents a self-contained composition" and "[the] <section> element represents a standalone section". Even when I try my best to be semantically correct, I can't really tell when to use which.

Of course. Analogous to how your closet is a lot easier to keep organized when there's less crap in it.
That's very odd, because my experience and everyone I've ever seen commenting on it is the exact opposite: it seems like there's 80 new shows a week on Netflix and it's impossible to keep up. Every time I hear about a new show that's interesting there are 5 other ones up by the time I get around to watching it.
A printed dictionary captures extended history of human language. An audio recognition model based on global mass surveillance can snapshot similar history. After a good model exists and can be run entirely offline, the (sunk) privacy costs are dwarfed by new value that can be created by speech-to-text enablement of human expression.

This is what Google has done and it was a monumental human achievement, deserving a place in history alongside Gutenberg, due to the small size of the model that could operate fully offline on power and space constrained mobile phones.

Compare this approach (partial mass surveillance generating privacy-preserving offline models) with the approaches of competitors like Alexa & Siri: both use mass surveillance for model training, but neither of them make their models available for offline and privacy-preserving public use.

I agree with the sentiment, but in this industry which has exponential growth, the number of people in it doubles every 5 years, I think. So if you've been working 20 years, there are now 16x as many people as when you started...so you are in the most senior 6% of people if you managed to stick around.
Even then, older people are less inclined to need an excuse to go home and do other things like hobbies; they're more likely to value work-life balance in general.

A few amazing things the site is not doing justice yet

- Everything transclusion: just like you can show images in Github-MD, obsidian allows you to view PDF, Audio, or even other notes inside a note.

- Header-level linking: You can link a note using [[note_name##sub_heading]]. Therefor, you can embedded a section of a note inside another.

- CSS modding is AMAZING. The community is getting creative with modding obsidian to fit different workflows. From Andy Matuschak mode[1][2] to minimalist theme[3].

It's probably a combination of all your questions. Simpler fee structure that takes a standardized part of young adulthood that provides a standardized amount of expertise, leading to "an undergraduate degree" denoting a certain amount of breadth and depth. It's about what a typical college student can learn in four years.

Some fields like law and medicine require more time to get practically useful, like 7ish years for law, which we can break down into units of 4 + 3, an undergraduate degree and a law doctorate (JD). Or medicine, which takes like 15 years, and is split into 4 + 4 + 3-5 + 1-4, an undergrad degree, a medical doctorate (MD), a residency, and a fellowship.

Maybe splitting it into these points helps standardize those and provide convenient points where paths split.
Tons of people feel that X racism is worse than Y racism, and it's ridiculous to say that they are all irrational people. The reality is that no two things are perfectly equivalent, even if they are both terrible things that should both be eradicated. We should castigate all forms of racism, but that is not at odds with the reality that it is at least a legitimate opinion to claim that the practical consequences of anti-black racism, at least in the English-speaking world, are apparently worse than the practical consequences of anti-white racism.
i think it does both. online has much better accuracy in my experience.
Netflix doesn't care about what you like. Their algorithms are centered around the concept of what are you most likely to binge through.

Similar to Youtube recommendations and how they are simply videos are most likely to watch through.
It's interesting that HBO reached agreement to stream trough Hulu (Disney) even when WarnerMedia is trying to push their own competitor HBO Max.
Not true. a battery left 4.2v at over 100F will degrade very fast.

Degradation happens most severely if at high voltage and high temperature.

Without high temperature it is completely fine to leave a battery at high voltage.

The dose for malaria is 200mg. It's the higher doses that are associated with heart arythmia in covid patients. According to a trial reported in https://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/track/pdf/10.1186/s129...

"No serious cardiac adverse effects were recorded in malaria clinical trials of 35,548 participants who received quinoline and structurally related antimalarials with close follow-up including 18,436 individuals who
underwent ECG evaluation."

"Chloroquine is the most widely used antimalarial drug
in history. It has a terminal elimination half-life of
one month and an annual consumption of hundreds of
tonnes for over 50 years, so it may be the drug to which
humans have been exposed to most. Despite producing consistent QT prolongation, the only case reports
of TdP and sudden death have been for its use for
non-malaria indications such as systemic lupus erythematosus or rheumatoid arthritis, where high doses are
used for much longer than in malaria treatment, or in
overdose"

Part of me wonders if this is an isolated incident, or some group setting the stage for something else.

Because it's too expensive for me to afford. More than an order of magnitude too high for me. As side projects I write closed source software so they do pull in a a bit of money. But this is typically only a few hundred to a few thousand per year per app. I think they target corporations rather than individuals or small shops.
Fair enough, but WHY?

Here is a less contentious example:

1. consider a severe, long drought

2. this will damage the livelihoods of many in the hinterland - farmers and those in the small town that service them

3. many may be driven to suicide.

Would you not agree that such excess suicides are 'caused by the drought'?
I'm a physicist and I cringed hard when the HEP people in my department started pushing out arXiv papers about covid-19. I see this a lot in CS too.

I see your point, but interviews are tame compared to the real world.

It's not about "Can the candidate solve this mission critical problem we'll spend a week on, in an hour?". It's more like "Can the candidate recognize a graph problem?". If they can't even tell that this is a graph problem, how are they going to know that today is the day we need to ask someone for help, and think about this very hard?

An example: Many times I've asked something like Word Ladder[0] to a candidate, and they can't tell that this is a shortest path problem, nor use the common tools to solve such things. Even with hinting and helping as much as I can, sometimes they just don't have those tools in their toolbox. And my job is to find out whether they do or not.

I actually have never received a pro-active contact from a human delivery specialist (so, do I even have anyone assigned to me?), via call, text, or email.

The only call I've actually gotten from them was from the actual service center telling me that the car wasn't there yet.

This morning has been a fun game of phone tag to figure out why the delivery was switched and who can confirm exactly how the car is going to be delivered :) Oddly, each person seems to have some bit of information that the other didn't have, even within the same role.

I've had the opposite problem: started getting awful freezes on a MBP 2018 running Mojave on the day this latest Catalina version was released. No immediate explanation: cpu/ram/disk load perfectly normal, machine just incredibly slow (think 10 minutes to start up). Exact same behaviour in Safe Mode and nothing obvious after some common diagnoses.

Bit the bullet and finally updated to Catalina, all problems gone. Not sure what to make of this but it definitely resonates with stories of Apple practically forcing updates.
Yeah but how many of them are good? I can probably count the amount of Netflix original movies that I've heard discussed with one hand. And when it comes to stuff like Bird Box, the talk doesn't really even go with the quality.

Well I am personally in favour of doing randomized control trials, not to cancel them based on what appear to be a weak statistical analysis. There was an argument to not wait at the peak of the epidemic rather than not treating (and some of these trials are only starting, which baffles me). But these trials should have been done from the outset.

Doctors in the heat of the moment cannot wait for a randomized trial. They started keeping patients off intrusive ventilators without doing a randomized trial, based on annecdotal evidence.

But these trials still need to happen.

Apparently there is also a easy solution to the Fermi paradox by taking the uncertainty in the Drake parameters into account: https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.02404

"We examine these parameters, incorporating models of chemical and genetic transitions on paths to the origin of life, and show that extant scientific knowledge corresponds to uncertainties that span multiple orders of magnitude. This makes a stark difference. When the model is recast to represent realistic distributions of uncertainty, we find a substantial {\em ex ante} probability of there being no other intelligent life in our observable universe, and thus that there should be little surprise when we fail to detect any signs of it."
~~It wouldn't work because the phishing site would lack the private key needed to validate your client-side certificate and the TLS connection would not be established. This is assuming that the legitimate website itself signed your certificate signing request (CSR) to create the client-side certificate.~~

Edit:

What I posted above is not correct. What I should have said was that the server would validate the client certificate by checking a certificate authority (either managed by the server itself or a 3rd party).
Liu Cixin himself was quoted that he couldn't start the narrative as straight up science fiction because this genre is essentially unknowm in China. So he decided to build up to the actual science fiction part of the story in a deliberate, slow pace. The story arc then develops from an almost historic setting with Rwd Coast Base as a starting point to some crazy ending to the arc that is way out there at the end of book three.

Every serious critique of the books that I came across mentions the poor character portrayals. But the story offers a view of a universe that is intrinsically hostile in a very depressing way and I did enjoy it for that.

Interestingly, I've been hitting the age bias from the other end. I mostly work with factories and NDT companies, retrofitting old CNC systems. I have a hard time getting work at certain types of companies because they think that I "look too young" to be experienced enough to work with their systems; granted, I do look pretty young for my age.

It's kind of funny to hear it coming from the other side, but I imagine at a lot of pure-software companies, the age biased is reversed from what I've experienced.

Yes. It's extremely difficult to get an idea of the scale of these problems from these threads because they bring out a lot of +1 piggybacking ("I have this issue too"). From there, it inevitably goes into a thread about the demise of Apple's quality control.

Somebody should make an accurate product problems site where you can share your issues and people can only vote on them if they legitimately have that issue. Then it would be obvious the extent to which the problem is actually there.
Haha, but flaunting a gray beard is just as superficial as dying your hair. Personal appearance is a primary signal, there's no way around it.
