That's why I suggested a managed WordPress host, so that they can outsource maintenance of their instance to professionals.

These projects get completely rewritten because they aren't fun to work with for most developers. What is being ignored is that there is an immense pool of labor that specializes in WordPress et al, and they're relatively cheap to hire. Even if these companies don't have dedicated staff to run their sites, many people are capable of using WordPress as long as its maintenance is outsourced to a managed host.

NextDNS is great. I've been using it for the last few months to access Handshake sites[1] and there have been no issues, and it's important that there are more resolvers than just Cloudflare and Google on the market.

It's probably getting downvoted because people who support the preferences view it as someone trying to keep minorities down. I've seen a lot of people game the system, where they'll have specialized knowledge from the government of military, then start a small contracting company and make their wife the CEO so they can win contracts. I've also known people doing government contracting where the prime won because it's an Alaskan Native company, but they subcontract out all the work, and there's only 1-2 natives actually doing work on the contract.

We probably only disagree about whether or not it’s a matter of ideological purity as opposed to creating a hostile work environment (notwithstanding arguments that would define “hostile work environment” in terms of one’s puritan ideals).
> Perhaps some people against free speech don't even claim that the people they want to silence are wrong. Is that better?

That's an interesting spin on "people have limited tolerance of free speech, when that speech is flagrantly intolerant." The argument is that tangible and quantifiable harm can arise from certain utterances. Such speech is not "wrong" per se, but a violation of the principle that your right to swing your fist ends where my nose begins.

How fortunate you are to merely be "exhausted" emotionally. This isn't really a conversation about skin color its a conversation on how we treat each other and we happen to treat people with certain skin colors in ways that make their lives worse and in some cases more dangerous. Talking about it like its about skin is foolish. It's about behavior.
"doubled" sounds ominous. twice tiny is still tiny.

for instance, flying 100 times/year (100 times tiny risk) is hardly riskier than flying once (tiny risk). most people don't even give that risk a second thought.

many common events can double risks (or more).
I don't have RSI, I have Fibromyalgia. It'a a similar PITA.

What I'd wish to know earlier?

- That computer mices are retarded and trackballs are the way to go.

- That there are much better keyboards out there and the standard layout is retarded (ortho is a minimum) - currently using X-Bows, previously Microsoft Ergo 4000. There are options.

- That the tilted keyboard (its top tilted) is one of the worst ideas ever. It should be exactly the opposite.

- That I need to make breaks.

- That when something is titled "ergonomic" in 9 out of 10 cases is at best anti-ergonomic. Plus what's really ergonomic is often ugly.

- That weightlifting helps a lot with maintaining rarely used muscles in a good shape.

- That sometimes the only thing I need to do is to put my hands into a warm water for 15 minutes.

- That I don't need to write everything on a computer. I switch between a pen and a keyboard all the time.
Communication is not a one-person activity--some of the burden of communication lies on the listener/reader/etc. If you have questions about what someone means, ask them. It's unrealistic to demand that people somehow foresee your questions and answer them without you having to ask.
Sorry, can you explain why the velocities should add that way? I've always just seen velocities add like regular old vectors, so this looks very strange.

Very true, but in an l evolving application you often pay the cost of that approach because any small change to the data displayed or the behavior of the application will require a change to both frontend and backend (e.g. wiring up a new API), so in practice I think people tend to build in a certain amount of generality. It's a kind of trade-off between the time to design a more general API vs. the time to churn the existing API when we tweak the application.
I don’t have any studies I could point to, but there is the fact that children of immigrants are over represented as founders. I unscientifically attribute that to growing up with two points of view on everything - the old country and the new. It gives you ideas.
I agree with not imposing arbitrary limits. The point was simply to keep the text as short as possible. For example, anything with a Creative Commons license can be described in at most eleven characters: the longest and most restrictive version is "CC BY-NC-ND". When you see those eleven characters you know exactly what the terms are for that work, without reading the full license text on each occasion.

I doubt we could compress all standard contract terms down to that length, but I do think most could be written in 1KB—or perhaps one printed page, double-spaced with decent margins—if we're only spelling out the truly unique parts.
This is a common dynamic in many areas. As applied to programming languages, you can consider it as either the language complexity (learning curve), or terseness of terms. In that context, it also becomes clear what the paper gets from using those terms, more accurate communication of the concepts in question, but to an reduced audience. An extreme example of this is APL. For APL programmers, a show APL program can communicate a concept to other APL programmers which is for the most part illegible to others. If the idea is to communicate to other APL programmers, little explanation might be needed. For you and I, comment explaining the gibberish we're seeing would be appreciated. But if the goal is for other APL programmers to read it (as in a code base of APL), then perhaps that comment is sometimes superfluous.

As a more direct example staying with the theme of computer science but using English communication, in the context of programming I can can use the term isomorphism and the subset of people I'm communicating to (or expecting to) will know what it means, or after looking it up likely quickly understand what I'm communicating. For a novice or non-programmer, that may be significantly less likely. Am I better off replacing the term isomorphism with "running the same code on the client and server" all over the place? It depends on my audience and goals.

So, what's the purpose of this paper? To be widely distributed to the general public, or to be spread between business and economics academics for further research and discussion? I suspect writing your academic papers to the lowest common denominator is a good way to get your ideas dismissed by peers, as it both takes them longer to wade through the extra (unnecessary, for them) words which are also less clear, as an oft-used community term will carry more meaning than is easily expressed by the words you can replace it with in usage in a sentence.

If we are talking about trust and customer safety specifically, I love the fact that I can hide behind Apple when buying IAP subscriptions and cancel subscriptions through Apple's interface. Some things I simply would not subscribe to or purchase from a lot of developers because I have no idea who they are and do not trust them.

But something seems wrong about classifying all developers as equally untrustworthy and forcing every customer through the same IAP experience.

As a customer, I don't believe I'm helped or protected by subscribing to YouTube for a 30% to 40% premium versus what it costs through the YouTube website, just so that I have the ability to cancel my subscription through Apple.
Initially It was the selective enforcement that got me, how Fastmail and other mail client didn't get IAP treatment. Turns out they did [1]. Although it is not clear how "recent" that treatment was, if it was before or after the Hey drama.

> which makes sense

But what if the user literally just enters the apps name in the search. In this case the app store only played the negligible role of an trivial looking indeed. Is it really reasonable to then thanks a larger cut?

Edit: but then the cut for extremely driven aquisation is 5% which compared to some other stores is really low. So I really shouldn't complain ;)
Personally I consider the lack of scale-invariance one of the main drawbacks of most common regularizers too. Again, not a big deal if all you're after are y-hat, a bit more concerning if you're interested in beta-hat.
I don't necessarily disagree, but the way you framed it is a little too close to "Please read our privacy policy for more information", which doesn't get us anywhere. It works for ibuprofen because those instructions on the back are really quite short, so expecting customers to read them is more than reasonable IMO.
So, again, there's a standard counter-argument that you also can't fight the power without aggressive suppression of speech supporting the status quo.

Also, in your statement is a buried assumption that the people happiest with the status quo are the ones most likely to be upset by speech from people challenging it. There is again a standard counter-argument to this, asserting that being very, very upset is part and parcel of "fighting the power," and the right to upset people is used mostly by cruel-minded supporters of the status quo as a means to amuse themselves by upsetting the agitators more or to goad them into violence that can be used as a pretext for state suppression.
looking forward to this! I think the organizers did a great job:

* it is in interesting format: an online conference with pre-recorded video and opportunity to interact. I guess it aims for maximum impact with limited effort.

* the content is very varied, videos for beginners, a nice game framework (nico), nim on Game Boy, nim on ESP8266 microchip, web stuff, the much awaited talk by Araq on the new memory management system (arc/orc), mratsim on multithreading, treeform on UI development with fidget, and much more...

* unfortunately not much in my domain (data science), hopefully next time (this will be done again next year, right?) I will be able to contribute something.

Overall I think it deserves much more publicity than what has been getting yet (but that is also a feature of Nim, which would definitely deserve to be more known and used).
Slightly offtopic: Can we please get rid of blog themes that omit the year from the post date? "19 Jun"... of which year? Especially with older blog posts or unmaintained blogs it's frustrating that you essentially have to look into the HTML code (or URL if you're lucky).
Unfortunately yes - bullshit is how many make their living in business. You would expect separation between doing and studying however, it is quite looked down upon for field researchers to maul sheep along with the wolves when studying livestock-wildlife interactions.

As for research as a whole it would require a metanalysis of a lot of papers over the year. It is possible it was always distributed about the same, or there were other filtering effects like stinkers didn't propagate as far in the past with higher publishing costs so we can't tell for sure.

Snark aside it is more like a clickbait article in making assertions and failing to either provide qualatative justifications or properly constrain them to the subset actually examined. Most businesses fail and dissolve in their first year period. A qualatative study that looked at numbers of "great outliers" may be more permissible but one which tries to make broad claims.

It isn't even consistent with the definitions, and axiomatically assumes low quality and waste for veblen goods. There have long been whole markets out there for high status "green" or "socially conscious" goods that cost more than the commodity as effective status signaling as an effect (whether it is primary or secondary depends on the individuals involved and their sincerity and consistency of action).

Low quality is also poorly defined. They imply cheap goods upsold but that doesn't make it poor enterpenuariship - going bankrupt in an easily preventable way and failing would be though.

It appears to be yet another tedious academic political axe grinder.

I don't know, do you know and what is this relevant? They get complaints and they look at them, apply the laws for the benefit of the citizens and not for companies, like when the mobile phone companies were regulated lot of people complained that this big companies will lose too much money but still I see Vodafone and the rest thriving and us the consumer can move to other companies without any pain.

> They aren't the same company anymore. They started making fun of people that used other products. They started to say you can only use use Apple products this way. They started to say, "you're holding it wrong". They started to just pretend to be user-friendly and stopped actually being user-friendly.

Any examples? I think they're pretty user friendly in many ways. As I said, they are arrogant but I am fine with that. May be you're not, to each their own. I don't like their repairability stance and some of the shit they do to screw the consumer over. But, I can put up with that because they just replace my whole laptop or whatever device. I took the magic keyboard (standalone one) after 3 years and clearly out of warranty, and they just gave me a new one because 1 key was stuck. IMO more positive experiences than negative.
If you're going to Healy, AK, chances are you're not just doing it for the gram.

I remember reading Into The Wild in my twenties and feeling a strong connection to Alex. Even if going to the bus wasn't a wise decision, I feel it's only human to want to cultivate those types of connections. I never went to the bus, but I was definitely curious what Alex was experiencing in the final days of his life.

I agree with GP that it's a cautionary tale, but it's more than that. It's caused thousands of people to think more about the way they live their lives. Seems a bit more substantive than simply trying to get a selfie, don't you think?
>But when you say "I'm not sure if meritocracy makes sense"... you are really saying that instead of trying for meritocracy, they should just use skin color?

I'm not GP but that doesn't seem like a charitable rendering of their argument. Its the stupidest possible rendering of their statement.
Complaining about jargon in a publication for professionals is like complaining you don't know who this Torvalds guy is during a discussion on the linux kernel dev mailing list.

One thing to note is that there is no universally agreed upon convention for denoting math objects. Textbook and research paper start with a section on notation to clarify the symbols they will use. Notation often varies between fields, academic schools, and sometimes there are even differences between the notation you would use when writing on a blackboard vs. the notation you would use in print.

That being said, for the most basic concepts the notation is pretty consistent so if you skim through one or two books you'll be able to get the feel for it. Understanding the actual math—that will take longer.

As for references, here is a very comprehensive standard, ISO 80000-2 that defines recommendations for many of the math symbols, with mentions of other variations:

For something shorter (and less complete), you can also check the notation appendices in my books:

I'm q bit tired of this HEY marketing spin by now. And it's the same old story, over and over.

If you build on a platform, be prepared to get fucked over anytime, period. Otherwise build on a protocol, that is open, and will prevail.

Year 2030:

"Linkedin implements a system to identify to-be criminals by personal history and behaviour it tracks", in a report on Friday from the executives, Linkedin has decided to label offenders on its platform to reduce their reach and stop them from getting a job before it's too late. The CEO explained that this is just one of the policies that linkedin has implemented to serve justice to our society.

Mark Zuckerberg says "justice shall be served. Social media platforms have the duty to govern society". Facebook has decided replace profiles of people breaking its policy with support social justice banners and links to donation box of variation NGOs. Additionally, they have decided that this policy will effectively block all offenders accounts on any platform they control including instagram, whatsapp, and integration which uses Facebook sign in functionality. They will share this data publically and encourage others such as partnered advertisers to block those offenders.

After years of toxicity on Twitter, jack Dorsey says they are finally taking steps to serve justice to our society. New twitter update will make it mandatory to attach your credit card at all times and social security number as well as sensitive personal information. Offenders will be charged and fined on the platform and their accounts will be handed out to the victims for exposure therapy.

Thinking that soon or later (after 1/10/100/1000) years the probe will for any reason release its radioactive payload into that environment, therefore contaminating it. (kind of similar as well if it keeps generating warmth at least partially for years and years and years => maybe in that case bacteria might start to increase/evolve because of that warmth, and any later observation would have to take that effect into account, which might be difficult to separate from all the local&natural causes - or it could be as well the opposite, with the probe "burning"/killing existing bacteria because they're not used to that warmth)
I don't really disagree with any of that. It's just hard to say that collective action can be used for evil as well as good so it should be restricted. I'm not sure how you even do that in a non-authoritarian way. But it can certainly be a problem. See e.g. https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/sdge-worker-fired-ove... (assuming facts are as presented)

The reality is that it's entirely rational for companies to basically fire first and ask questions later.
They could do any number of things, and that might affect what they charge.

But they do what they do, and they charge what they charge. The comment I replied to, said Apple provides no infrastructure. That is categorically false, and thus I replied.

Positing alternate realities where they might operate differently isn't really a relevant response, IMO.

Depending on the landlord, you wouldn't get the apartment. Some landlords require you to make 40x the monthly rent per year. I don't see many people renting $2800 apartments here at $80k/yr. If people are at 80k/yr, they're almost always renting a room.

Btw, I wouldn't necessarily use the entire bay area as your reference - as we weren't talking about the entire bay area either. Specifically only nicer neighborhoods. The price varies wildly by region. Apartments in south San Jose are much less expensive than in Palo Alto - but both are part of the bay area. There are many places in the bay area where my coworkers wouldn't even want to walk on the street - let alone live there... but there are cheaper housing options there.

You should be using ratios - not absolutes. If someone had $100,000/month rent then by your logic, they'd be just fine if they only had $2,000/month left over. That's very little buffer.

This isn't about removing section 230. The DOJ proposal has essentially 4 goals:

- requiring platforms to be more proactive about removing illegal content.

- helping law enforcement to punish illegal content

- enabling antitrust action against monopoly platforms

- requiring platforms to be more transparent regarding their moderation policy

The first two I'm conflicted about, but the latter two I think would be a big win.
