When I make a snarky comment about that sort of concept art, and somebody gives me the "but you didn't" response, I usually double down out of spite. When the only thing anybody can say about some art that it's "interesting" or "cool", it generally means it's pretty awful.

I've been paying attention as well, I've been using it since the early days, I also have an M&A lawyer by my side.

The Signal Foundation is responsible for all costs associated with the project--without it the project wouldn't function.

OWS was also largely a corporation, but it wasn't require for TextSecure to operate--a key difference.

> And while OWS/Signal Messenger did not have formal non-profit status prior to the Signal Foundation, it was never acting as a for-profit entity[2]:

A corporation, non-profit or not, is still a corporation. Based on my knowledge of full-cycle accounting for non-profits, they tend to make more profit, they just pay less taxes.

Having a non-commercial parent doesn't mean your business is non-commercial, Signal Messenger LLC is the corp which is associated with Signal Messenger. Signal Messenger could offer private equity, since Signal Foundation is not the exclusive shareholder.

I have an M&A lawyer right here if you want me to ask him.

In any case, I doubt they have enough funding to do this in a standard donation-based non-profit, it seems like there's a non-profit which is used to funnel money to the commercial entity, Signal Messenger LLC.

It's a standard structure, I'm sure, but it's definitely not your standard non-profit.

I'm more concerned about the coloquial use of commerical in any case--does the corp make profits or not, not whether they pay tax or not. I'd say they're looking to transition into a fully non-commercial entity, but for the purposes of this thread they are still a corporation and can still be held liable for their users' actions--in this case the app can still operate without a formal legal entity, but it would be removed from app stores, I'm sure.

My office still gets spam faxes to this day. The paper and toner only add up to a few cents a month, so it's not worth doing anything about.

I knew a realtor that had a sheet of black paper with a few choice expletives written on it that they would send back to spammers. There was an art to taping it into a loop so it would continuously feed. This was a few decades ago when a the spam faxes could cost more than a stamp.
LinkedIn has directly led to me getting two great jobs and accelerating my career by leaps and bounds.

I don't read much/any of the news feed, and only occasionally check in on it at all, but it's a fantastic passive job search platform.

Where do you live? That's certainly not the case everywhere. I drink water straight out of the well, and so does everyone else. It's normal to get a well tested when you buy a house, but unless you live near a swamp with a shallow well or something weird, you're unlikely to have any problems. There might be a pre-strain filter at the bottom of my well, but that's it.

City water definitely does not need to be filtered. Some people prefer the taste of filtered water, but there's no health reason requiring house filtration.
The criticism was mainly on the wrong model and wrong data, not the code quality.
A good model must be robust and verifiable, this is neither robust nor verifiable. Just compare it to a good model, like the Göttingen model with Bayes inference, which successfully predicted results two weeks into the future. Multiple times. https://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2020/05/14/scie...

Ferguson's model was always exponentially wrong, you can even say catastrophically wrong given the economic costs.

Nature still defending this catatrophy, interesting. So they also switched to non- science, supporting politics. The political angle is that they want to suppress extreme right-wing shifts as after the last such political/economical crisis 1930, caused by fatefully wrong political decisions. As they happened after and because of the Ferguson study.

I am pretty sure the Superbowl was sold out. People just didn't show up or were stuck in traffic. I believe this will be true for any NFL playoff games.

I absolutely expect them not to shoot back. They are the intruders and aggressors. This case is very simple. They broke in, they murdered someone, and they should spend the rest of their lives in jail because of it. What will actually happen is that they will get off because they were shot at while serving a warrant (despite breaking in unannounced) and the victim's family will have no other recourse due to qualified immunity. And the only reason the boyfriend's charges have been dropped is because the case is in the national spotlight and we're having riots now for weeks. Too bad the boyfriend wasn't a better shot. That's the only way justice could have been served here.
>On the contrary, nihilist criminals are simply out for loot and the thrill of destruction, with cadres of left-wing radicals like antifa infiltrating protest marches to exploit Floyd’s death for their own anarchic purposes.

It does constitute an opinion, but an incorrect one. Taking over a police station and a city hall in Seattle, for example, is pretty impressive - and it strikes violence at the heart of perceived violence.

No, Antifa is not a club or an organization. There is no membership. And there is no bouncer at the protests to make sure everyone is on the same page or of the same opinion - it is flat out inevitable that some people will be of poor opinion and behavior.

The Right's framing of the relatively small amount of violence is indicative of a police state. The reaction by police unions in the face of calls for punishing abusive cops is indicative of the violent arm of the state protecting its own absolute authority over the people.

> That is why there have been calls to radically re-think, or even eliminate, policing in the US.

Isn't "defund the police" 99% "that's a nice slogan", not actually "we'll be good without any form of law enforcement"? From what I understand it's a play to break unions: you defund and dismantle the police department and then you can create a new department, can start fresh with new people, new tactics etc pp. Might work, might not, but it's certainly not "eliminate policing".
I would love to know what caused the "error".

I don't understand why System 76 keyboards for their higher end laptops include a numeric keypad. Doesn't seem worth the downside of narrowing keys that I'll predominantly use. Is there much demand for numeric keypads that aren't better served with an external USB addition? Is it because the internals or screen need the extra width anyway and they're filling in what would be unused space?

I kind of like the word pervasive or entrenched. Personally I don't feel like the term systemic makes a lot of sense in the context it gets used. It doesn't sound as serious though which I imagine is part of the point.

We need to look at the costs of social distancing, sure.

We also need to look at how a lack of centralized response means the good work done to socially distance was wasted in part because as a country the US never took this seriously at the same time.

Look at the comments in here. People are saying a virus that has killed over a hundred thousand people in three months was “overblown”. We didn’t stop the spread, we don’t have a good plan to go forwards, and we’re going to keep seeing second waves.

The US lost it’s nerve to fight, and opened up businesses early. Not allowed visits from grandparents early, opened up businesses early. That’s more than enough to undo the work we’ve done. We’re fucking up.
I saw a fun talk on crocs a few years back. It's not an area that gets much research funding. One concept stuck with me...

Crocodilians used to come in a variety of sizes, including small. Now all (adults) are large. There was a bottleneck, and the survivors use infrasound for mating calls. Which is great for long-range rendezvous - elephants can sing for kilometers. But crocs can't make their long-wavelength call if they're too short. So they've been trapped large.

I feel the same way honesty, but all things are a negotiation and "What if someone dies" is hard to come back to.
It's very hard to understand what the Internet Archive thought it was doing with the "emergency library" venture. Whatever you thought of the idea, it was very clear that the concept was on extremely shaky legal ground, and even more clear that publishers weren't going to just sit idly by and do nothing about it. The IA had to have expected a massive lawsuit, one that it most likely would lose, and one which would bankrupt them.

And on top of that, this "emergency library" move has roused the publishing industry into finally attacking the CDL model which they've apparently grudgingly tolerated for a decade.

Why risk their entire existence do this? What was so important about it that it outweighs all the other good work they do?
> but the downsides

What do you consider the downsides?
I have not used it before. I just assumed that - whether a percentage or a flat fee - the amount would be... deterministic at least? That the entity being paid the fee would at least state their price somehow, instead of the user having to just, like, guess what their tribute should be and hope it's accepted. What you describe sounds incredibly bizarre to me.
> I have a theory that distribution of power in democracies leads to "distribution of blame".

I think there's some truth to this, but I think this eventually results in widespread cynicism, skepticism and loss of trust towards any sort of institution (aka "the system") in general --including science and religion--, which is a perfect environment for fake news and conspiracy theories. Long term it leads to chaos and unrest too.

> 1. You will be punished for trying new things.

> 2. You will be punished for trying things that don't work.

> 3. You will be punished for trying to understand how good you are at something.

> 4. You will be punished for succeeding.

This is a fascinating conclusion, and first of all, I think it's entirely valid to feel that way. And it must feel incredibly frustrating.

But I think if we zoom out a bit, we can gain a broader perspective.

Which is that, no matter what you do, you'll always be "punished" by some people. There's no right answer here. But other people will also reward you. (Also, funnily, sometimes when you don't even deserve it.)

And part of being an adult is in finding the right groups of people who are constructive and supportive, rather than tearing you down due to their own insecurities and egos.

This applies in finding a supportive spouse, supportive friends, and a supportive workplace. And it takes work to identify and find the right supportive people.

Supportive people will celebrate you for trying new things, celebrate you for trying things even when they don't work, celebrate you for trying to understand how good you are, and celebrate you for succeeding.

It's also very easy to have been surrounded by negative people for so long that you feel helpless, that you don't even know how to find supportive people or trust that they're there.

And that's a hard rut to be in, and there are a bunch of techniques to help you get out of it, which you might need a therapist to identify for you if it gets really bad.

But one that really speaks to this specifically is enrolling in local improv comedy classes. You spend three hours in a group of equally embarrassed "newbies" learning to follow the cardinal rule of "yes, and". Everyone is forced to be supportive. Improv is about literally coming up with new things for three hours straight, and everyone celebrating it no matter what happens (the only limit is not being offensive). I know people that credit it for turning their lives around, and where they made their best friends.

Obviously improv isn't the answer for everyone. But I hope the author can find the support they're looking for.
Speaking of walks of life, the whole thing about walking a mile in someone else's shoes comes to mind.

That's something I don't commonly hear people admitting on interwebz though :)

I would say that you're also completely ignoring the benefits of typing. It's fair to say JS's lack of typing is a deep flaw, and so tools like TypeScript and GraphQL (which pair magically by the way; free type generation!) are ways to lift the typing from the backend to the frontend and give frontends stories around typing and mocking APIs that greatly improve the testability of the code.

I know it's trendy (and partly justified) to look down on OpenAI, but can you actually give any basis for this claim?

And even if others are doing the same, what part of OpenAI's research do you consider unethical?

I didn't slam a humanities education in my post—I applied one. Poorly, perhaps.

I do, though. :-)

I intended to communicate that "systemic" is a very common word in certain (largish?) circles, maybe providing insight into its recent mainstream prominence. Since it was a short comment I took some liberty with the tone. I'd hoped the (rather gentle) "snark" would read ironically against the content, but may have missed the mark.

If you think that post meant I dislike the word "systemic" or hold it in contempt, you should try an academic literary critic's paper on their very favorite and most-highly-regarded novel. (Ooooh, more sick humanities burns based on semiotics and the sociology of academia! The hits keep on coming!)
