Maybe it doesn't mean you hate democracy per say, but what you are advocating means removing the control of a vast amount of information out of people's hands and moving it to a small relatively homogeneous group with their own political will.

Which in turns looks very much authoritarian and undemocratic.
Right, this is the hard part and I don't understand what the law says so far and what may need changed. Imo, if you won't publish my book, I still have free speech, but if no one will sell me paper, then I don't.
The problem is a lack of accountability for the bad police.

If good police are standing by while the bad police are abusing their power, they aren’t really good police. If the bad police are walking away without repercussions or, in some cases, even retaining their taxpayer-paid pensions, we can’t trust the police force as a whole.

The job of police is to maintain order, not to protect their own.

>Antidepressants are supposed to work by fixing a chemical imbalance, specifically, a lack of serotonin in the brain. Indeed, their supposed effectiveness is the primary evidence for the chemical imbalance theory. But analyses of the published data and the unpublished data that were hidden by drug companies reveals that most (if not all) of the benefits are due to the placebo effect. Some antidepressants increase serotonin levels, some decrease it, and some have no effect at all on serotonin. Nevertheless, they all show the same therapeutic benefit. Even the small statistical difference between antidepressants and placebos may be an enhanced placebo effect, due to the fact that most patients and doctors in clinical trials successfully break blind. The serotonin theory is as close as any theory in the history of science to having been proved wrong. Instead of curing depression, popular antidepressants may induce a biological vulnerability making people more likely to become depressed in the future.

Sadly the answer is not the one I'd like to give. Were it in my hands, I'd have documented it publicly already, as an advocate of open source and sharing.

I did this as part of my day job, which included, at the time, documenting it. It's impossible for me to share that documentation I did on company time. As for doing it again, I'd have to check my contract and/or discuss it with said employer.
Nothing hugely different to "late stage 4G" (Release 14). The main difference with 5G (that was available in Rel14 but not widely used by anyone) is control and user plane separation, which means some network traffic can leave the user plane at the base station, and go elsewhere, rather than be routed all the way back to the core network.

That enables edge computing by allowing traffic for the edge computing node to be routed to the local edge node directly, without it going down the backhaul.

This is very much a software change though in the implementation of the base station.
So just to make sure I'm clear: the author of this post is (according to the "about" page on the linked site) is "an angel investor, founder, podcaster, author, and general startup-helper" who is wildly speculating about the causes of and solutions for one of the most complex and nuanced areas of medicine out there.

Then he indulges in exactly the kind of casual, "if you just do this you'll be _fine_" sort of reasoning from armchair diagnosticians that leads people _actually_ suffering from mental illness to think, "oh man, I guess I'm just undisciplined and all of this is _my fault_."

I'm sorry, but no. Just stop. Your "helpful tips" equate the _symptoms_ of mental health issues (lack of sleep, inability to focus and plan, over-consumption of alcohol, etc.) with the fixes that are available to you if you "just try harder'.

Telling someone deep in debt that smarter decisions made long ago would have avoided their current problems may be _accurate_ but is neither helpful nor compassionate. Likewise, telling anyone who'll listen that acute mental health crises can be prevented proactively by "simply following these few tips" does less than nothing for those suffering right now: in fact, it worsens the perception that their illness is their own fault, it's too late to make any improvement or progress, doctors will just try to sell them snake oil so why bother, etc., etc.

Perhaps if the author had said something like, "I too have struggled with mental health and found the following things made a difference for me. YMMV, and of course you should only attempt self-fixes in combination with treatment by a qualified professional, etc. etc." He did none of that, nor is he a trained psychiatrist or counselor, which makes his "hard-earned wisdom" suspect to me.

"Be more like me and you too can be successful/happy/rich/etc." is not a terribly useful kind of advice. Likewise "the trained experts in the field don't want you to know this, but the solution to $really-hairy-problem is just to $follow-my-convenient-five-point-plan."

In case my umbrage at the tone and content of this article wasn't clue enough: I have been diagnosed as bipolar, with concurrent major depression, anxiety, and substance use disorder. Many of the symptoms and aggravating factors were buried or even encourage by the "startup life" and I'm deeply skeptical about VCs and founders who purport to care about the mental health of their peers and employees while making a constant push to "hustle", "put in the hours", "not settle for a lifestyle business", etc.

Throughout my career my manic periods have consistently been the most productive weeks and months of my working life, but the corresponding depressive episodes usually resulted in me being fired or walking away from an otherwise-decent job because no one understood or bothered to ask why a "high performer" had suddenly become flaky and uncommunicative. Advice on how to "prevent" mental illness from those who have neither suffered from it or been trained to treat it is _not_ going to make things better for me or folks with similar experiences.
And that's why we don't trust "the good guys" with our data. There are no good guys, keep your damn data to yourself no matter what.
To add on the methods: categories on Wikipedia are pretty useful for such digging.

However, there's an annoyance that, although lots of pages have uniform infoboxes, you can't just ‘query’ pages in a category by an infobox field, or sort them by one—like the release year for games. At least I haven't found such a service, and Wikidata has less info. However you can rig something up with the API: e.g. the wptools package for Python parses infoboxes before you even ask it specifically.
Looks like he's been writing for a while, including sticking his neck out quantitatively in a 2017 blog post: http://peterturchin.com/cliodynamica/quantitative-prediction...

The linked short interview was probably prompted by his 2012 paper:

> Extending the sequence of 1870, 1920, and 1970 forward suggests that the next instability peak shouldoccur in the United States around 2020. This is a simple projection, rather than a scientific prediction (which requires an understanding of mechanisms bringing about outbreaks of political violence; see Turchin, 2006a). The analysis of structural causes of instability waves is beyond the scope of this article and will be pursued elsewhere(Turchin, forthcoming)

One way techies can affect change is to not do business with the government, particularly law enforcement and military.

However, this won't happen, because at the end of the day the only thing people actually care about is money.

> You can’t protest if you’re sick though.

I'm not sure if you mean "they can't join the protests when sick" or "they can't protest getting sick from doing this". For the former, I imagine those that are technically can if they really want to. For the latter, those that aren't are seemingly willing to take the risk of getting sick in order to help address this.

> it means many people will be hospitalized or worse.

Yes, they seem willing to risk that consequence.
Again - the national guard is state directed. The governors of states deployed the national guard in their own states which is perfectly normal. Trump directed the DC national guard to deploy in DC which is mostly normal as well.

The obscene threat from trump was that he was going to deploy active duty military to states as well - which he hasn’t done and which would be unprecedented and extremely dangerous. He and Barr did take a half step by deploying other federal law enforcement in the capitol (DEA/BOP/DHS) which they likely did illegally as those organizations have no statutory authority in crowd control but the military would be an entirely new escalation and one that the joint chiefs / Esper seem to have talked him out of.

Try this game for yourself. Please provide me with feedback, whether good or bad. I would really like to know how to improve this game.
Fair point, and well stated.
"Downtime" as a consequence of an issue is 'severity', not 'priority'. But yes there needs to be a clear and consistent definition of what the different levels of severity mean. This is usually the case because people will quickly notice that it quickly gets messy if everyone makes up their own.

But, as I mention in another comment, severity does not directly map to priority. Something like severity x frequency (classic measurement of risk) is already getting close, but ultimately it is often a judgement call based on other business considerations as well.
Try if the generic binaries just work for you. A lot of work has gone into making sure things just work even without root privileges, so you shouldn't have to wait for IT to get it set up for you.
He bricked the marble!
Exactly. They're thinking of it as an act of simultaneous self-preservation and civil disobedience to the fact that bailouts are only for huge banks and corporations. The perception, which is at least somewhat true, is that Wall St. and DC will be saved and the rest of the country can burn.

From what I've seen, the 1% vs the 99% is catchy but wrong. The reality is more like the 0.01% vs the 99.99%.

We are probably nearing the point where we will see actual change, since we're approaching a place where the wealth distribution hockey stick is so steep the upper middle class and "merely rich" will start seeing themselves as "the 99%." You'll see working class and hippies marching with lawyers, doctors, and owners of businesses that make "only" a few hundred million a year (and don't have lobbyists).

Wish it didn't have to get that bad, but that appears to be the case. We'll probably do something about CO2 when NYC is underwater.

which makes the whole thing extra weird because even if she might not be aware of a direct translation being available she should know how it's used in italy.

it's perfectly fine for a finely dressed gentleman to spill a drink on his wife's boss on a party, which is a perfect occasion for a "proprio una bella figura hai fatto" > "yeah, such a good impression you made" and it's so common of an usage I can't fathom how it got related to fashion in the article part she penned.
It would be the same as for anyone else. I also recused myself from her loop to make it as impartial as possible.

She got the job on merit. That's the important thing here.
Non-scientific does not mean unfounded. There are plenty of citations provided (from published journal articles and preprints wherever possible) to support my speculation. They're hyperlinks, which is a bit tongue-in-cheek as an editorial choice.

> Pure speculation, even when proven by time, is worthless.

I can't agree. This essentially argues that all intuition is worthless unless it can be explained. Maybe true in a structured debate, but surely not in life.
If this is about personal branding related to your business, yes you can keep your public identity large, but strictly only about that. Let's say you are a musician, then yeah just promote yourself as a musician, music you write, instruments that you play, but stop there. Don't tell people anything about your private life, your politics, your religion, etc. Not to say that people shouldn't do that per se, but this comment is more about how to keep your sanity and your inner peace.

For everyone that you care about and if your care is reciprocated, I think no matter how small you try to keep your identity, they'll just still be enamored by it.

I myself try to generally keep my identity small, both in public/digital space and within my friends, but yeah my friend can't help but still know who I really am, what food that I like, what music that I like, just as I can't help but to know who they really are. It is the result of close proximity in relationship. But this results in more organic and more understanding. My friends don't judge me purely black and white, and I don't judge them purely black and white either.
Yes, because pop-guns do anything against trillions of dollars in armor plating and advanced weaponry. Of course we never talk about what happens if the armed population goes along with the tyrannical government against the repressed as we're seeing now.

This is such a mentally lazy platitude. All arming the population has done is incentivize them to use their arms against their fellow countrymen.
>Police Brutality isn't a new problem. They should have waited until covid-19 was gone.

This wouldn't be happening in a world with 4% unemployment. But 20 million Americans are now out of work, stuck at home, and pissed off. Not to mention without the usual distractions of sports or live entertainment. When the bread and circuses break down, this is the result.

Relevant context: recently, former Reddit CEO Ellen Pao called out Reddit for their policies after Reddit did a statement on Black Lives Matter:

> I am obligated to call you out: You should have shut down the_donald instead of amplifying it and its hate, racism, and violence. So much of what is happening now lies at your feet. You don't get to say BLM when reddit nurtures and monetizes white supremacy and hate all day long

Agreed. There are certainly challenges to working on big, high-visibility projects as a beginner. But, if it's primarily part of a strategy to get a well-paying job, it makes a lot of sense to work on something that has people from the companies that are hiring developers at decent salaries working on it.
And that would be fine, new outlets will spring up and maybe Facebook will lose it's market dominance and strangle hold over many people's online interactions.
Wear and tear on complex machines is killer. It shows up in an onslaught of tough to diagnose and expensive to solve issues at the end of operational life. The borers are probably engineered for an operational lifetime only a safety factor longer than the tunnel they will dig.
A brain region can calculate more than function; so that part isn't problematic. But interpretation of BOLD signal is inherently tricky because its like measuring heat off of a processor; it might tell you how hard its working, but not its working on; but if you can modulate the temporal dynamics of the processing, then maybe you have something work with.

One approach is to have a generative normative model of a mechanism (e.g. temporal-difference learning) verified by lower-level research (unit recordings in animal models), fit parameters to the model based on the task behavior (e.g. learning rate) and then find the correlates to that (e.g. to the subjective reward prediction errors as they occur in the task at time of decision feedback). The benefit here is you have already a plausible mechanism that can recover the behavior, and you are finding changes in BOLD signal that track those. Doesn't solve the problem entirely, but its better than just correlation with whatever.

> So how come we seem to be losing all the battles in the end?

Vast question, and apart the geopolitical reasons, I could not say why we are unable to develop in specific sectors such as IT. I could not speak about whole Europe, but France, my country has serious issues with transforming a tech success into an economic success. If you take this Minitel story for example : the US would have made it a worlwide success 15 years before Internet emerged with hundred of billions of profits. In France it was distributed almost freely to families by the state owned phone company. So it became a booster to the national economy but not much more than that. It never became a standard, never went out of France and never allowed us to become an early IT champion...
We simply have different mindsets. But I think that other European countries are far better than us in this domain.

> While in France you have judges ordering (shamelessly, in my view) that Google both has to do a certain job and pay for the privilege of doing it.

Again this is geopolitics. In France Google is perceived as a dangerous company for our European interest. MOreover like other US tech companies, they cheat to avoid their tax duty in France, which infuriates many people. So all the actions intended against Google are part of a dirty war. These actions are undoubtly unfair. But do not forget Google actively lobbies against our governements at the EU level, try to prevent us from passing laws to regulate our data privacy issues, help the US agencies to spy on us... They are not our friends.
Then the team losing is what started the riot. I never said the reason had to be worth rioting for. I only said that riots start from somewhere.
Or, even simpler: if the plaintext of the new password ends in a number, try stripping (or decrementing!) that number and see if either of those hash to the same as the stored old passwword.
Factorio has genuinely taught me lessons about software design.

- learn where in your stack it's worth optimizing vs just let it chug along inefficiently.
- Unintuitively, often a simple, inefficient, unmaintainable automation slapped together is better than something well-written, especially in the domain of ML/data munging
- feedback is essential. When I started, I didn't spend much time in the plots windows. This is your QA dash. Pushed me heavily into using integrated CI pipelines
- don't be afraid of rewrites. But do have ample tests.
- CSP rocks

It's even pushed me from a "pythonic" dynamic style to writing much more golang and python that feels a bit like go.
Naively, how about a global tree? Suppose you have a group of 25 people, of which 1 (or more, all these numbers are fluid) is also a member in a group one "level" up which also contains 25 people all representing their own 25-person group. Then just keep adding more levels until everyone's in the tree.

Importantly, these are not rulership positions. They're representatives representing the interest of their group one "level" down, which means these interests are sourced from the largest side of the tree and then negotiated/compromised as far up as is necessary.

The reason I think 25 is the right number is because IIRC people are only capable of maintaining 50 close relationships, so the idea is generally most people are friends with their home group + extras. But doing the math on the number of groups required, let's say 8 billion / 25 = 320 million groups needing representation, and log_25(320000000) gives us a little over 6 levels required to represent them all (if I mathematically modeled that correctly), so even a top-tier representative can easily have a couple of close friends per level.

Thank you. I see too many "I was just following orders" arguments in the internet.
I really don't know what they want anymore. How much cleaner than Reddit does it get? There is nothing left that is even remotely controversial. I'm so confused.

The way he said BLACK candidate also feels really weird. We get it - you want to virtue signal. Make it a little less obvious.
> issue is that ordering was different

No, it's not. The ones that are protesting are also being ordered to disperse and go back home. The reason they're not is because they're disobeying.

For those that aren't explicitly ordered, it's because it's pointless, given that civil disobedience is in the nature of protests.
A BLM co-founder is on NPR advocating to "defund the police."
"It’s not possible for the entity of law enforcement to be a compassionate, caring governmental agency in black communities. That’s not the training, that’s not the institution."[0]

There's a continuum of what "defund" means, but the idealists are pushing for actual, no-hyperbole defunding and disbanding. Police cannot be made good. They believe would be easier to reduce crime some other way than authorized state violence, and the funds could be redirected to those ways.

Only FYI, in Italian it is "Cencio dice male di straccio", vaguely translatable to "Mop speaking ill of rag".

Many proverbs in different languages have a common meaning but a different way to "deliver" it, I always find amusing how a differnt language/culture gets to the same point with completely different means.
