I’d say not particularly. Most of them are “accuracy obsessed” rather than accurate. Some of that is purely down to lack of horse power for accurate models but also in terms of lack of information, lack of complete simulation and a lot of focus on making a game rather than a simulation.

They’re plenty of fun but not really important in terms of illuminating anything about the era of flight and combat they reproduce.

There is video of Twitter employees admitting there are on-going efforts to silence "shitty people" on the platform. It's quite clear who these "deplorables" or "shitty people" are.

What is the most annoying about this, though, is the tweet they chose to "Fact Check". (I use quotation marks because "fact checking" by linking to CNN and WaPo is not fact-checking at all, rather an appeal to a different authority.)

The tweet they chose to police is speculation about the future. If I say the boiling point of water is 50 degrees, you can fact-check that. Its an objective truth that water boils at 100c.

If I say mail-in votes will cause election fraud, you cannot prove or disprove that statement. All you can do is show me someone else's statements, opinions, and predictions on the matter.

Given that Trump says so much objectively false stuff, it annoys me they didn't go after one of those tweets instead.

You catch the most flak when you're over the target...
I can see why objects and closures are reducible to each other. As a Java dev who's written listener objects, closures seem like simple sugar to me. They hold private state or references to state. Functions can be passed references to mutable data so they are equivalent as well.

However, there is the concept of a pure function (one that is unaffected by and causes no side effects) which I think can be argued is fundamentally different.
In addition to what others have mentioned, many A/V receivers have this feature as well. It's often called something like "night mode".
I don't have such intentions, the main reason to make this open source was this only. Even i hate ads, and I know every one does. Currently the bot is down, I will definitely work on this to get this fixed tomorrow. And once this is fixed the bot will be healthy.
My previously employer offers just that : you could spend money to 'buy' up to 10 (more) days of holidays per year (for context, you start with 20 mandatory days, plus 10 to 15 depending on your seniority and your age). It would cost you exactly what it would costs the company to pay you, and seems redondant with simply taking un-paid holiday. They were several benefits to this though : those extra days would become part of your offical compensation, so you are entitled to take them in the year, and you do not need his approbation. It is also slightly better for your pension and your taxes to buy those days rather than take un-paid holidays.
Again, only because of incompetent and/or immoral developers.
usertrack looks pretty cool. I am looking to move away from Google Analytics as well and may give this a try.

It looks like paying for usertrack gives access to the source code, but not much else?
Yeah I included it only as part of a joke and no one should actually use it because it completely subverts stability and if someone put this in a build script to set that env var it would be very very bad

It be kinda nice to see an article that cites the "research" it mentions rather than just providing a nice color coded graph of the world where

"you can see how every country on the world scores on individualism, from light-green to dark-green. Light-green means a low score on individualism, in other words, strongly collectivist. Dark-green countries are strongly individualist."
That is a bit disingenuous. It is true to some degree that both parties do it to some degree, for example LGBT rights and abortion rights. But bigger picture "conservatives" have a long history of saying state rights when they mean white rights. There are still a significant portion of the population that pretends to believe that the civil war was over state rights.
The case you're talking about is Vizcaino v. Microsoft

https://corporate.findlaw.com/human-resources/vizcaino-v-mic...

They don't treat them as equal because of the legal system. So then why dont they hire CW's as FTE's after 1 year? Why do they abuse the term CW, and keep using CW's for longer than 1 year when the job does not change?

Why do these large companies have a majority of their workforce as CW's vs FTE? Costs.. FTE's are higher costs, so they shift the savings to a CW workforce that is basically a FTE, but lower costs in all aspects where then all liability is shifted to the recruiter.

CW's are a lower cost workforce for companies that need specific skills. The job is suppose to be by legal standards and IRS "a short period of time that should not extend 1 year...." yet it does. Companies continued use of a CW in a FTE capacity is a complete abuse of the CW system imho.

Most people dont know, but companies have at least 2 type of CW contracts. Because of the Vizcaino v. Microsoft case CW's were forced to take a "break" for legal reasons. So a CW would have a contract that would start at 6 months, then get extended to 12 months, and then within the last few years got companies could extend to a max of 18 months before a CW was forced to take a 6 month break. When 6 months came back around the CW could have their very job back, or go elsewhere in the company.

The other type of contract is a never ending. You're a CW that is hired thru a tech recruiter and you settle on wage and that is what you get until you leave. Perks are null in most cases. The wage can be higher, but companies set limits on the job so the CW get never get anymore as that is the rate set for the job.
When the president says "we will take over", and that "the shooting will start", that seems (to me) to be fairly authoritarian (right-leaning) rhetoric.

Our laws explicitly forbid the national military "taking over" in such situations -- the national guard (state military) is who is supposed to be deployed.
> We're going to nag you until you click this button so we can't get in trouble for profiting off the data you give us.

That is explicitly against the regulation. Consent should be freely given otherwise it's invalid.

The problem is that there is no enforcement around this (despite it being very easy to detect this behavior at scale by running a web scraper) so they keep doing it and profiting off it.

It is worth pointing out GDPR is really two sets of laws - one around data security and breaches, and another set of laws around privacy. It's the second set of laws that get the most criticism for their opaqueness, but I don't know if they are better or worse than the first.

They probably should have held off completely on the second set - the upcoming ePrivacy regulations are promised to actually do something, rather than just provide a really frustrating and opaque set of consent guidelines.

As it is now, the law doesn't require anyone to actually stop what they are doing. The only difference now is you have to retain a lawyer to do it.
Doh, of course. Think-o on my part. Thanks.

So in what sense is "ssh-rsa" going to be removed? Just as a protocol enum, with no user-visible impact for these purposes?

I don't know what jurisdiction you are specifically discussing, but in California you cannot collect unemployment if you simply left your job. You must show "good cause" for leaving, where "good cause" includes things like violence and physical danger, but not "I thought I could get paid more across town".
Too late for that. They have for many years. This is only the most visible form of control.

Corporations spend enormous amounts of money every year on exactly this. I believe lobbying politicians to take their side and the shaping of media coverage has had an even larger impact than hiding a tweet behind a click.

> The Rodney King verdict and the ensuing riots are often framed as a turning point for law enforcement and the African-American community. But it's also the single most significant modern event for Korean-Americans, says Edward Taehan Chang, professor of ethnic studies and founding director of the Young Oak Kim Center for Korean American Studies at the University of California, Riverside.

> The nearly weeklong, widespread rioting killed more than 50 people, injured more than 1,000 people and caused approximately $1 billion in damage, about half of which was sustained by Korean-owned businesses. Long-simmering cultural clashes between immigrant Korean business owners and predominately African-American customers spilled over with the acquittals.

I'm on the side of the protesters here, don't get me wrong. But the media sweeps under the rug how often the rage from these events gets taken out on Indians, Pakistanis, Chinese, Koreans, Vietnamese, etc.-owned small businesses. There is a narrative the media wants to peddle (black versus white), and these complexities don't have any place in the media narratives.
I think GDPR has its heart in the right place.

I don't think it really helps and I suspect that is because users themselves really don't know what is actually happening behind the scenes and no amount of banners or otter things changes their level of knowledge.

And I fear even if they know, users don't care and are happy to click past a banner / trade their privacy for free things.

GDPR seems to play out as a strangely legally mechanical beast that people are largely disconnected from.
Maybe right leaning users have a higher propensity to say offensive/harmful things?

I'm not being facetious. Isn't this something the right is actually proud of? I mean, they actually boast about not being "politically correct" (something the rest of the western world calls "common decency").
Here's two distinct groups: people that my comment was referring to, and people that it wasn't.

IANAD, but the word is you should couple it with vitamin K to offset the extra calcium absorption. Which is a good idea on general principles, since K is one of the other very few supplements worth taking by the gen pop.
Twitter should maliciously comply with Trump's executive order. Suspend his account, and post a banner saying that it was suspended in compliance with President Trump's Executive Order.
It has as least as much to do with not fact-checking the claims of people you agree with. Politics is replete with lies. Remember "all 17 intelligence agencies"?

The idea of neutral just-calling-balls-and-strikes fact-checking in politics is a fantasy. The only thing that actually works is debate.

I kind of see it backwards from that. Police are an understandable target, given the situation. The police killed someone. But Target didn't do anything.
Sup, same boat. Terrible at college and "successful".

The worst feeling was hanging with peers that you felt they were way beyond your skills and seeing how everything was "natural" to them.

Yesterday it was the fifth anniversary of my college graduation. One of my frequent dreams is that I didn't graduate because I failed a course. Strange, since college was not even that demanding for me; one of my best friends was brilliant and he let me piggyback the hardest projects.

The main difference I see between people like us and other highly accomplished academic developers is that we deliver (since we are highly pragmatic) and we are enjoyable to work with (our guilt overcompensates with empathy).

Yet, I had studied 10x more in the last 5 years (post-graduation) than in college. My mind matured significantly, and luckily it had developed a sense of natural curiosity for computer science, programming, design, finance, etc.
Brilliant minds may have once lead education, healthcare and financial industries, but its probably more like a kit car Ferrari experience in modern times (the DNA is not there).

I've come across more and more articles about adjunct professors in poverty over the years, so the brilliance (and the brilliants) is definitely missing from the experience.

Are you going to cite any actual evidence for that bold claim? Here, like this:

>We were unable to confirm a benefit of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine, when used alone or with a macrolide, on in-hospital outcomes for COVID-19. Each of these drug regimens was associated with decreased in-hospital survival and an increased frequency of ventricular arrhythmias when used for treatment of COVID-19.

It is still quite frequent, if not as frequent as I experienced it (still, incidence is quite high in the Bay for instance). I don't really feel like mustering the mental energy to argue with what are ultimately pretty nit-picky objections.

In sum, car breaks in happen, policing it generally doesn't work very well, stop & frisk is bad, don't vote for people who do it, thank you for coming to my ted talk.
Given that enforcement would have to be stepped up considerably to even be called selective, compliance means your competition has a large advantage.

It's probably more of an investment than other replies to your comment, but having a receiver with at least a center channel and left/right speakers does wonders to level the volume between dialogue and other sounds. My receiver even has a dialogue setting which emphasizes the human vocal frequencies on the center channel.
Our crime rate is probably 4x higher than developed European countries, so we could still use more of the security product. It’s not clear that they’re mutually exclusive anyway—you can push efforts to improve justice while improving policing.
I totally agree with you there. But note that there are people who are 50% professors, 50% administrator, For example, we have a VP of Campus Planning, a rotational position, who is 50% professor and 50% administrator while they are in that role. Then they revert back to being a professor after 3 years.

> Don't stalk people, and if you want to stalk them you need to ask them nicely and allow them to decline

Ok, that's nice in a fantasy world, but in the real world a lot of people/sites rely on ad revenue, and ad revenue for the most part, requires tracking built in. So now if you legally force me to allow users to decline "stalking" you are basically allowing users to decline my monetization model and use my website/product for free. And why should I allow that?

Why can't I say: "accept that my site is ad-supported or don't use my site?"
I've seen a lot of people say this, but I'm just not convinced it's actually the law. It's not obvious to me that analytics cookies categorically can't be essential or that "freely given" implies strict UI neutrality between accepting and declining.
Only so much as the media and government lets twitter have this within their rights. If it was Peter Theil running Twitter, I don't believe we would see the same reaction from the media.

How would you know if your car got broken into if your doors were unlocked? What city was this (one of Baltimore, DC, Oakland, Chicago, NYC?)?

YMMV but it's not like car break-ins are rare.

I recently unsubscribed from all but one (the account tips) of the Firefox newsletters, because they were sending too much stuff I wasn't really interested in. The next day I get a new Email from them.

Subject: "Was it something we said? crying emoji".
Body: "If you want to go... we won't stop you. [...]"
Footer: "You're receiving this email because [...] subscribed to Firefox Account Tips.

Yeah, thanks for the ~~tip~~ spam.

Felt like going through one of those dark pattern flows that Spotify or Amazon have when you try to unsubscribe from their paid plans, trying to guilt you into reconsidering.
They pretty much have in parts of Baltimore, Philadelphia, NYC, and San Francisco.

I published most of Klein's docs at Wired the morning of a hearing on EFF's case vs. AT&T. The docs were under legal seal at the time but I got them from a source not bound by the seal. Still had a good chance AT&T would sue me (I was a freelancer).

Walking into that courtroom later that day and getting stares from AT&Ts lawyers was, for lack of a better term, special.

Also Mark Klein is an underappreciated American hero.
Cool. I like the step-by-step process that's not usually shown alongside code golf and obfuscated C programs.
It often is, unless you solve a problem where it isn't (and at some point you will).

Nowadays I try to be very pragmatic about these things, but before I had a certain realization I just wanted things to fit neatly in classes and saw some beauty in it.

That was until I started using rust where this wish initially lead to a lot of frustration. When I finally gave in and did it the Rust "compositional" way, everything worked incredibly smoothly
Ooof, thanks for that. I didn't realize that was the natural log function because of the space. My brain was parsing it as the word "In" and essentially ignoring it.

We were a very small company when we discovered Airflow, just saying, and it provided a lot of value to us vs. alternatives.

We fell in love with Airflow's capability to allow us to write one small python program that generated hundreds of tailored dags by iterating over the configuration of each of our customers. This dynamism is very powerful for similar use cases.
If they were going to "leap at the chance" to suspend Trump, then why haven't they already? He's been treading in the grey area of their ToS for years.
Companies cannot be neutral. They have a base just like any politician. Twitter has acutely recognized - I believe - that their base is libera, and it's important to go along with that base. Would Twitter be as popular if a conservative was running it?
Exactly. Any one can offer an explanation why they didn't take this path for 256-bit numbers instead?
I would pay a subscription to a news site if they spent all their time evaluating 2-5 year old events and determining which side was right.
