Latent demand and wealth distribution interact strangely.

There's a bunch of work no one wants to do that gets dumped on people who need the money by everyone who can afford it. Elder Care is an obvious examples in the US, along with Child Care to a lesser extent. Lots of people consume free or budget versions of these services with which they're dissatisfied, and the root of their dissatisfaction is often that they can't pay enough to get the people providing the service to accept micromanagement, either because there aren't enough of them to implement it, or because they don't need the money enough to put up with it.

I guess the flat-wealth-distribution case is most people grudgingly using some economy-of-scale option leveraging the people with more patience for this kind of work, and a few control freaks either doing it themselves or economizing elsewhere to pay for a boutique option.
I wonder if Samsung will release this security update for phones released 3 or 4 years ago...
Firstly, I was responding to the claim that sensor noise "isn't there" on a dedicated camera [1], fullstop, which is ludicrously wrong. Without processing what comes out of the sensor is an ugly beast.

Secondly, strange that you don't actually link anything to demonstrate this noise advantage. Much less that it's "vastly superior" and "not even in the same ballpark". Hint -- because it isn't.

[1] - which is a revealing bit of cargo cult analysis. Sensor quality across "dedicated" cameras have enormous variations, and a lot are simply terrible. One of the reasons smartphones do burst and computational photography is for extended dynamic range, yet the iPhone 11 already has a sensor with more dynamic range than the significant majority of SLRs/mirrorless cameras. There are obviously better sensors, like the A7R II+, but there are many that are worse, sometimes much worse.
While demonization is a rampant problem, this article is a far cry from demonization. This is a reasonable criticism of something stupendously terrible.
Very informative post! Looks like you guys are doing great work at Trueface!
To the world at large, I guess so. Within the community, I guess not.

Weirdness depends on context.
Do the author really believe programmers earn only 12-16k USD yearly in Poland?
Was referring to the "VMs are the future" part.
This is just rage-bait content farm blog spam. Yes, it’s a poor experiment because bots only retweeting aren’t allowed anyway. Yes, obviously the president is held to a different standard. Yes, even Twitter says as much (which just made POTUS and co even angrier). Yes, everyone upvoting this already knew that.
I like to compare twitter to current modern language prediction models. Instead of seeding the ML model with a sentence and getting an output tree, you are seeding the social consciousness of people and getting an organic output.

This is why intention is so important when interacting with new technologies.
Zoom in and look at the left side group of buttons. Is that a clear overlay that flips down or something?

That may be why it looks flat to me.
I agree people shouldn't judge, and I'm not defending it, but I think the fear they have is this: if you look like a certain "type", there's a decent chance your behaviour is predictable, and thus, safe (or at least manageable). But if you're just completely different people have no model to predict how you'll act. When people are confronted with that, some people react with hostility, some with avoidance, some by freezing up -- and some rare souls who have the confidence to have an open mind.
I don't think that worked out very well for them though.
This one part of the overall very, very interesting question how the US is handling things once Trump leaves office ultimately. It will also define a lot of things for democracy in general, world wide.

> greeted me in a friendly "hello brother"

Wouldn’t it be amazing if we all greeted each other like this regardless of color, creed, nation, etc? I think I’ll just start doing this - “hello brother!” “Hello sister”
That's basically the same lesson we've been getting before phones, too, only it used to be a polaroid, or even disposable cameras, as it's important to first learn the basics, and the tech does not matter at that level.

Once you've learned the basics, though, the tech starts to matter a lot and the limitations of that phone, or that disposable camera or polaroid, starts to interfere with the things you know you want to capture and how you want it to look, but simply can't.
>Mr. Epstein created the company in 2013 and told government officials in the Virgin Islands that it was involved in DNA analysis and research.

This almost seems like he was acknowledging in a "wink-wink" manner the sexual nature of what was really happening.

DNA analysis and research requires a lot of talent and infrastructure and putting it on an remote island is not the best idea.

But calling engaging in sex "DNA analysis and research" is almost at the level of what passes as a joke in middle school. This almost seems like an inside joke between the Virgin Islands officials and Epstein about the true nature of what was really going on.

This lawsuit is idiotic. They're claiming Google is doing something wrong by tracking users from websites using ad tech when someone uses their browsers private browsing mode.
I read through that article - naive and idealistic. I guess only a first-world citizen will believe it works. And not to put you down - I admire your innocence that you think this will work. This all breaks down as soon as someone from outside the community or someone powerful in the community introduces drugs which kill, a crime boss decides to beat up a few people for protection money, poor people or addicts decide to invade homes to steal your stuff, folks involved in 'community policing' decide to flex their muscles and make their 'fair' judgements which favour their own. You will feel utterly helpless.

Maybe you think all this won't happen. I have lived in poor and powerless communities earlier in life and seen all these things happen without a proper police presence. I had my sister assaulted when I was young and was unable to do anything about it. I despise 'community policing'. The cliques it creates is far worse than the full hammer of the full armed forces.

Anyways, I wish USA the best of luck. I really hope the looting and rioting in NY stops soon.
But then if you want to help people build wealth that don’t have it, you make it much harder.

I really feel like people need to look into land taxes a la Henry George: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_George

Taxing things like capital gains differently or implementing a generic wealth tax can actually hurt those we want to help to build wealth as well as incentivize things like expatriation of wealth. Can’t expatriate land.
>It advertises that support, but I've never really seen it work

works for me. it really depends on whether your TWRP distribution implemented it properly. AFAIK android phones don't have a mechanism to bind encryption keys to a system state (similar to sealing keys to PCRs for TPMs on PCs), so I don't think your theory is correct.
Almost real-time reporting and rumor mill. The amount of half truths, lies, doctored / out of context imagery is staggering. Not convinced that having a real-time rumor mill in times of crisis and social discord helps anyone other than cynical political actors.
You're not wrong, but I'll note that the definition of <article> you are referring to seems pretty useless, and I don't think it's wrong for people to generally decide what <article> should mean.

I don't see anywhere that defines <aside> as being used for cards. But <aside> should be used for cards if the card itself is an aside.

> Here, have an article within a section. … what? That ain’t semantic.

What's not semantic about that? An article =/= a page. A page can have multiple articles; the idea of an "article" is pretty abstract.
Modal is hiring a Head of Operations
This may be the most honest post in this thread. Bravo. (I'm with you; I know what I like and don't pretend my opinion is any more than that.)

Look how many posts here use emotionally charged words like "unreadable", "love", "hate", "loathe", "abomination", etc.
"All of the things they care about—outlawing abortion and same-sex marriage, and (though this is never said out loud) maintaining a white majority in America—are under threat."

I can't discuss these ideas with someone when the article contains statements like the above. It's her opinion that these men are secretly white supremacists.
Keep in mind you might be operating them with a spacesuit gloved hand. I'm not sure how thick/solid they are, but there would be a decreased sense of physical tactile feedback.

Looking at the left panel, I'm guessing you first select the function you want (Water Deorbit, Deorbit Now, Breakout, Depress Response, Suppress Fire, Fire Response), then click either Execute or Cancel. Lights on the switches help you know what is selected.
Not really, it's used for example with OpenWRT too:

Also it's important to keep in mind trade with China is not "free trade" since it's a one way street. China has massive barriers to entry, with high tariffs and restrictions making it extremely difficult to compete.
Exactly how the default application organizes them, whether they are documents, source code, built artifacts or whatever. I have more to do in life than agonize over that.

In fact, where you hang your ornaments (files) on the ceremonial file Christmas tree (file/directory/parent directory tree) is the least interesting part about files.

I'd far, far rather have a rich set of attributes and a way to create relations over them. "All the files I printed by date", "emails I received from so-and-so", "attachments by destination" and so on. Real relationships I actually care about.

This is one of my hot buttons, can you tell?
The 80's called. They want their 'trickle down' back.
Well, I don't they did this, but it's an interesting technique used for this sort of scenario. Unfortunately, I can't find a wiki article to explain it (I think it's something like the hugh-jones coin or something).

Anyway, I think the idea was someone needed statistics on how many people were stealing things after some sort of event, but obviously they couldn't just ask people because who would admit to breaking the law.

So what you do is you ask the question: "Are you stealing" then you have the person flip a coin out of your view. If the coin is heads then they answer honestly, but if the coin is tails, then they always answer yes. This way the person in question has plausible deniability (I didn't steal, I said that I did because the coin came up tails). Then once you have the data you just need to divide by half and maybe tweak some other parameters, but you end up with realistic data (or so the statisticians say).

It's called a watchdog. And it's 99% running Android and should have that.
How can you criticize The Lancet for a small number of faked studies that have gotten through, but then praise pre-print servers, which are rife with complete nonsense?

Pre-print servers are great for getting results out quickly, but the level of quality control is extremely low. Journals are slower, but have a higher level of quality control.

There is a trade-off between speed and quality control, and both pre-print servers and journals sit at useful points in that trade-off.

Given the pressure to get information that might help fight CoVID-19 out quickly, journals have probably shifted towards the "quick/low-quality" end of the spectrum in the past few months. They'll move back when things calm down.
The primary challenge is RAM. The (simplistic) approach I took with establishing a ClojureScript REPL is to have the standard library available, and that requires a lot more RAM than most Espruino boards have. Even with the ESP32, I had to make a few tweaks to Espruino in order to make more of the ESP32's RAM available.

Perhaps a more sophisticated approach could be devised involving "faulting in" ClojureScript standard library functions on demand as they are used, and by doing this use less RAM and reduce startup latency. If that were done, things would run on a broader range of chips (less RAM needed).
Not without some optics to shrink the image circle down.

Even if you did that, a full-frame DSLR's image sensor is 35x larger than the iPhone's. I'm not sure why you'd want to use such a tiny sensor unless it's the only camera you have on you.

For someone in desperation all I hear is further reason to riot and loot. Nobody cares about these people, and politicians keep going on TV saying how they're going to put everyone in jail or shoot them.

Racism is problematic to the degree it creates racial inequity. Do you think this creates racial inequity?
My working hypothesis for why programmer-employees in the Bay Area and New York City get paid more is that so many of them have a credible alternative to being an employee, namely becoming a startup founder, which I imagine has helped them in salary negotiations.

This map near the start of the OP makes me wonder whether, similar to the markets in the Bay Area and New York, the markets in Switzerland and Norway give programmers some credible alternative (not available in for example Ukraine or Vietnam) that can be resorted to by a large fraction of programmer-employees.
You could argue just as well that this headline should be "Scientists say warm weather may slow down the spread of Covid19."

But neither headline gets to the point of what the article is actually saying, which is that it is too early to tell, and they will be monitoring to find out. The original headline doesn't introduce biased thinking.
Does brick have an understood definition though? I think this is the millionth time I see this exact discussion about a news story using the term differently from the one true definition. That doesn't seem very understood to me.

I don't always agree with you, but damnit, do I respect you. Thanks for the work you do, esp. if you aren't getting compensated.
Depends so much on what deregulation you mean. If you mean deregulating from an antitrust perspective, sure that could be blamed. I don’t know specifically of him doing so, though, it’s completely possible.

However, have you ever tried to open or run a small business? The regulations are INSANE especially if you want a physical location. Go try and build housing in the city that needs it most. Good luck. Free the fucking markets a bit. It works.
> From my experience, the majority of people who drive a car with touch interfaces don't want to look back to old fashioned buttons.

Many automakers that had touch-heavy interfaces are moving back towards physical controls, both because of market demand and evolving industry safety considerations.

I have no problem with touch controls in general, but replacing a volume knob I can find blindly with a relatively small pair of "Vol+" and "Vol-" touch targets is mildly infuriating. It's OK as the driver because there is an actual tactile control on the steering wheel, but downright unpleasant as a passenger.
In this case the employees were faced with a decision to lose their jobs working on KSP2 or take whatever Take-Two was offering. I agree that normally "poaching" is word used by some really slimly people who want to make sure labour doesn't realize how much it is worth - so it'd be great if a different term was used above. But in this case it might actually be an accurately illustrative word for what actually happened.

This was not a real security issue, but in general they update even old flagship devices for critical security issue.

As he said, it's a matter of pushing unproven medicines, it doesn't matter if it turns out to be good.

What you're saying is like someone claiming betting all your life savings at the casino was a good move because they happened to win.

The French studies showing a 100% cure rate pushed by the rightwing to viewers and Trump were really bad quality.
I’m sure some learned person here can give us the right nomenclature, but it’s the difference between “they” and aa single individual. It’s easy to be convinced that some group is the problem, it’s very different when you are confronted with a single individual and suddenly realize that groups are seldom as homogeneous as they appear.
From some viewpoints, men are mostly that. Aggressive, status-quo seeking self-interested people anyway.

Anyway, those supposed pillars are a smokescreen - they are hauled out and paraded around to gather folks to the cause. Can't think the article is very useful if they didn't know about that.
I was hoping on some news on those, too. Only this sentence on the page that's interesting. Quote: The aluminium battery pack casing was flexible in design to allow for a variety of possible sizes and types of battery cell solution to be fitted throughout the life of the vehicle platform without the need for any significant re-engineering.
That is youth though which is a very different claim
I don't think offshoring is irrelevant now. With that said, I think there was a bigger push towards offshoring in the past than there is today. Now automation is playing a larger role. As an example, the company I work for has been offshoring positions since the 90s, while simultaneously and incrementally automating other positions. There isn't much left to offshore, but we're still automating work.

Interest rates are artificial. IMHO they are currently way too low. I dont even think the absolute rate is what affects the economy, its rate of change in interest rates that causes change. Declining rates stimulate the economy while rising ones act as a brake. The absolute level of the rates determine where money flows and inversely affects the price of big things like housing and cars. Low rates lead to inequality and hardship. These are just thoughts and observations, I would love to build a good mathematical model.
It's impossible for everyone to be rich. This doesn't mean we should punish the rich for being rich, but you aren't going to reduce inequality by increasing the number of rich people - you need to increase the income of low and average earners compared to the rich.

Yeah, great idea, but it doesn't work at all. Probably just early days.

Just tried it with Win10 and current Debian ISOs. Ventoy menu comes up showing both ISOs, but both fail to boot the same way with cryptic and meaningless error messages. Impossible to copy the very wordy messages; may have to get out the phone and grab an image.

Nothing in the FAQ or forums about the error. Thought it was a secure boot issue, but same thing happens with secure boot turned off.

The documentation is, as with almost every project this century, hopelessly inadequate, so there is not much help available. Guess I'm supposed to read the source code, which I will do, eventually.

EDIT: tried it on two different UEFI laptops: a MacBook Air and a Lenovo core i7. Same problem on both. Haven't tried it with legacy BIOS yet.
Um. No. The press took the bait .
No sane person should ever listen to Larry Summers again. This weasel looted America; even looted Russia with his pals at Harvard -anything he has to say that isn't a groveling apology for his life of treachery and destruction isn't worth listening to.
Right, so the people that are registered with the US political Party ANP (American Nazi Party) Or many other parties you have never heard of could then check the box, and be free to say whatever they want. Or is Facebook going to police it only for a few popular political parties in the US, and not censor which political parties get speech?

Both Italy and Spain imposed strict quarantine measures in a time where the epidemic was already rampant and killing hundreds of patients a day.

Thanks to that, now they are experiencing zero deaths a day.

I'm skeptical of its implementation. So much land is bought up by a small number of entities with a lot of money then rented out at a profit indefinitely with little to no value added. My parents have been paying rent for 15 years and the only involvement from the landlord has been fixing the heater once or twice after having to be harassed to do so. In this situation he's essentially a parasitic middleman for property taxes.

There are legitimate reasons people may want to rent instead of own, but it seems to me that it needs to be curtailed to some extent. Maybe controls on how much property can be rented or owned without occupying so that people who want to live in a house without sending half their paycheck into a black hole all their lives have a better chance.

Huh? Can you point to some of those claims?
I think it's a mistake to assume that anyone who doesn't want to fact-check/remove Trump's posts has to lean right politically. There's a lot of other reasons they can have.

What if all of Trump's worst posts were removed, such that every potential voter reading them then has a less-aligned view of what he supports, and decides to vote for him, when they would not have had his posts not been selectively filtered? Just one of many possibilities
The method is called randomized response, iirc.
No. If I start a message board and you break the rules, I should be able to delete your posts and ban you without legal consequence. It’s my platform. Twitter has the freedom to determine what content they allow and don’t allow on their platform. I don’t see why this is so hard for people to understand.
