I don’t think that’s quite right. K-1 is the fiancé(e) visa: it’s to allow someone to whom you are not yet married to enter the U.S. in order to marry.

If a U.S. citizen marries abroad, they would file an I-130 petition for their spouse to immigrate in the IR/CR category; they would then be able to file for a K-3 non-immigrant spouse visa so their spouse could accompany them to the U.S. while the I-130 petition was processed.
Okay, I'll bite. Except for the farmer story, I didn't understand any of the other stories.

The source is the world famous The New Yorker.

That alone will tell you which one.
Scott Alexander was a source for the article. He just wasn't the source for his name.
Has anyone considered this is fake?

After Steve Hsu was cancelled a few days ago due to the Twitter mob wilfully misinterpreting his words, I reqd a comment somewhere saying “Scott Alexander is next” (which could make sense, as he’s posted “wrong” opinions on his blog before).

Maybe the NYT story is just a cover, or maybe the article wouldn’t be that “positive”...
It's in the "General" section of the System Preferences
Sure, much like you can get your 15 minutes of fame and get on national TV. I wouldn't call "the whole country" one community with smaller child communities though.

To me, community implies some amount of connections between the members. I've never put a number on it, but basically something like "if you randomly pick X people from the group, at least Y of them will know each other". That would limit both the size and also do a reasonable test for community membership: if nobody in the community knows you, you're not a part of the community.
I think it's fair to say that there are plenty of journalists who don't engage in wantonly twisting stories, and honestly try to uphold morality and democracy. There are also others for whom your criticism is completely valid.

For example, I'd consider some of what Scott does (did?) on SSC as "journalism" in that he's writing about recent news in an informative way.
> Well, when nations that grow durian natively have signs banning durian from public transport and hotels, it's probably a good indication that enough of a majority finds the smell unpalatable.

What "majority" do you speak of?

The "majority" of locals in Singapore, at least, do not think the smell is unpalatable.

Locals just recognize that it is a strong, potent smell, that is difficult to get rid of, that lingers for ages, that is detectable even at trace concentrations. So, practically, everyone understands that durians shouldn't be in public transport or hotels.
And yet, if efforts to curtail information would stop, a consensual narrative might form. It has happened before.

NYT Is Threatening My Safety by Revealing My Real Name So I Am Deleting the Blog
The term "doxxing" is used in communities where it's normalized to harass people and try to ruin their lives because you think they're a jerk. In such a community, exposing someone's real identity against their will is a hostile act.

Unfortunately, all of American society is now such a community, so all investigative journalism about someone's identity is now also doxxing. I'm not any happier about that than you are, and hope we can return to better norms so that investigative journalism is less of a danger for its targets.
Journalists obviously never tell their subject their piece is going to be negative. In fact, as far as I can tell from the few people I know who have been in that situation, they appear to routinely say the opposite.
All of the uncertainty around COVID-19 means that we'll build whatever complex models we want, but then just stare blankly and wonder how the hell to choose values for various coefficients.

References? COVID-19's behavior has been quite simple so far. Exponential growth with variations. It's more predictable than the weather next week, overall.

The American curve and European curve are somewhat different, yes but the differences can be explained by the total fucked-up the American virus control efforts have been.

Oh, and the American failures were accompanied by complaints about uncertainty and how much virus control efforts would cost. Now, we will find out how much a lack of control is going to cost.

Honestly though, I feel like some of the higher-up men have serious psychopathic issues; if they do show empathy, it comes across as pretended, as a trained tactic to pursue their goals. I've worked with driven managers who didn't have this and in the high-pressure environment they operated in (mostly high pressure to sell and make money, it was in software dev consultancy) ended up overworked and lost 6-12 months of their professional life because of it, plus whatever long term issues they developed because of it.

Have people like Zucc, Bezos, or Trump ever taken an extended period of time off because of stress or giving too much of a shit? No, they just fuck off to their resorts, private islands and yachts, do some cocaine or whatever vice they have and shrug it off. And those are the public figures; behind them are the more shady characters that have a lot of money and power without the personality and fame. It's the investors that tell a good-willing CEO or founder that they need to sack people, to make the hard decisions, while they reap the rewards, earning ridiculous money without doing the work for it or having to deal with the emotional or moral consequences of their decisions / votes themselves.

TL;DR I think people who care cannot reach the 'heights' that the super-rich, super-successful do. I also believe a trait / condition of psychopathy is a lot more prevalent in men. I believe this is a big factor in the gender representation in the upper echelons.

The IP TTL field is unrelated to the topic - DNS and IP are sitting on the different OSI layers. Also, the traceroute command does not abuse this field, it’s just the way the IP protocol works.

(The very next paragraph after the one you quoted talks about how letters for European mobile phones were reintroduced some time later, now standardized so as to not have that problem.)

At any rate, the presence of lettered keypads doesn't mean people * had * to make mnemonic phone numbers with them, and it does look like (in Europe) only the UK had such numbers.

Apart from the US and UK, they might be popular in some Commonwealth countries too. I grew up in one and remember having them.

Anyone who publishes content not approved by the regime. These blogs recklessly publishing free thoughts are sowing discord and disharmony, and even when they publish reasonable ideas, they only create a precedent for dangerous people to publish dangerous ideas. Nothing is more dangerous than an idea, and they should be regulated in the same way we regulated access to dangerous weapons.
Your comment made me rewatch that section of the Keynote [1], and I believe you're right. Docker and Parallels were shown in a 'virtualization' subsection, and not the Rosetta subsection. So that must have been ARM64 Debian we saw there indeed. Did I say that their presentation was too fast :) ?

That's going to be interesting in the end. Being able to build/smoke test x86 containers on macOS will be important, at least for a while. So it's up in the air whether that will be addressed, although it's worth noting that Docker already supports cross building images [2].

I know I'm a little lateto the party, but I want to make the point that I don't actually think that there being few women in leading roles is the problem. I think it is a symptom.

I think it is a symptom of a real underlying hidden problem that is the discourse of todays society is biasing the interests of our children differently based on gender.

A lot of places we're strongly associating the color blue with boys and the color pink with girls. We force these colors upon them while they're such a young age that they might grow the same associations. I think this also happens with attributes other than favorite color, attributes such as behavioral patterns. I'm bot saying there's not also a biological aspect to this, but noone I've read has any idea of how much is nurture and how much is nature, but it seems to me that when looking at our (as a society) practices with our small ones, there is certainly room for a great deal being nurture.

In short I don't think that the problem is that there are few women in leading roles, I think the problem is that we are raising our boys to want to be leaders and our girls to not.
That was bad journalism. Would you also stop trusting all doctors after meeting a bad one?
There is already a sort-of licence. Being employed by a company as a journalist, especially if the company is a recognised media "name".

But the people this is deliberately not recognising is bloggers. And to be honest, I'm seeing better journalism being done by (some) bloggers than (some) paid journalists now (not their fault - the business model for journalism is a mess, while the model for blogging is working).

I know that. The US police are a mob. It’s very apparent, from outside looking in.

How does that relate to my argument? My point was that attempting to tackle those factors is the actual solution.

(Would need a source on your 20% claim though. Endorsed by the police union is an appeal to voters outside the union, not an appeal to union share of electorate)
I've had plenty of problems, especially more obscure material or material not in english/russian is often just plain not available. In one case, I needed an older version of knoppix not available on their website anymore but I had a torrent file. The download took 3 months to complete due to the single seeder of that file going offline for that time.

If you only download the popular fresh content like the latest Debian ISO or something like that, of course you never have problems.

Given the preferred solution was not to omit the name, and given that reporting the name was avoidable, modus tollens implies that the NYT did not feel that compassion was required.
Similar effect when reading the news on a topic that one is an expert in - they usually get it incredibly wrong. And then you turn the page and read the next article completely forgetting how bad the reporting actually is - there is no reason to assume they do a better job on topics that one is not an expert in! I think this bias had a name but I can't remember it.
It's just assumed in your comment that this should only be about the media outlet, and that we should ignore the journalist involved.

The problem with people trying to shut down others primarily comes from individuals. Often that's individuals on social media. In this case it's a journalist. These individuals can destroy other people's lives, yet they essentially face zero consequences for doing so.

And each time they succeed, like in this case, they embolden others to do it.

Not sure why this is downvoted, it’s objective truth. I’ll go one farther though and say that Linux sucks, and in fact we must admit that if we want it to ever be good.

“Apple can start leaning on their specialized ML cores and accelerators“

I think that hits the nail on the head. Since I only cursory listened to both the keynote and the state of the union I may have missed it, but I heard them neither mention “CPU” nor “ARM”. The term they use is “Apple Silicon”, for the whole package.

I think they are, at the core, but from what they said, these things need not even be ARM CPUs.

> However, models of "value of life vs. other-thing" are almost always useless.
> Why? Because you don't care about that question. You care about other questions.

The “value of a statistical life” (or to use a better term, “value of a prevented fatality”), is weighed against other things in a large number of public policy choices. For example: environmental pollution, biodiversity, quality of landscapes, noise pollution, economic activity. It’s also important to aim for reasonable levels of prevention of different risk categories: food safety, road safety, air transport safety, medical safety in hospitals, industrial safety, etc. If public policy (via regulatory obligations for instance) uses very different implicit values for a prevented fatality, it means that more statistical lives could have been saved by allocating prevention effort in a different way.
> Heat management of these systems will become the major contributor for environmental pollution than all vehicle exhaust.

No, extra heat just radiates away into space, nothing to worry about. The problem is in the GHG emissions to generate the energy to run (and yes, cool) these systems.

> it makes sense to optimize energy consumed per processor.

Yes, absolutely. Even if you don't care about the environment, power consumption limits chip performance. Doing more work with less power is key to producing faster chips.
I'm sorry you feel the need to retract my nationality.

I don't agree that he wasn't a source. He seems to be the subject of the article, but he made contact with the reporter and claimed to explain his concerns which were not heeded.

I've seen the New York Times omit the names of refugees who face persecution in their home countries. (I'm trying to find an example, but it's surprisingly hard to search for.) This is a different case, but I think it's broadly comparable.

I don’t see it as much different than the general societal norms that we tend to teach children, like “try to be nice” and “it’s okay to avoid people who aren’t nice.” Is that a violation of freedom of speech, or some top-down regulation? I don’t think so.

It probably shouldn’t be “licensing” in the sense of using state or otherwise organized violence to seek out people who violate the norms. We generally don’t teach people to punch anyone in the face who is rude. But having general standards of conduct don’t seem to bad to me.

I don't think the 'substantial risk of harm' is established, at least, not by Scott Alexander's own behaviour - he says himself his pseudonymity was quite thin. Journalists tend to see their responsibility as being primarily to their readers, not the subjects of their stories. Subjects generally don't get to edit stories about themselves - that's considered non-journalism.
It’s a fair point. But are the procedures improvements over standards of care abroad? If not, my assumption was that it fit in the same category as the transit spending detailed above: more money thrown into the system, but worse outcomes. The reasons for the extra money required are complex in both cases.
I think the link should really be to their blog post?

You're thinking of T9, which is for typing text. When you dial 800-AAAAAAA, you're not typing, you're dialing. The "A" character is just on the same button as the "2". So when you press "A" seven times you're really pressing "2" seven times. You end up dialing 800-2222222. There's nothing funny happening, "A" is just another symbol printed on the "2" button.
I can also see, why this is not a bad choice for touch interfaces.

However, at the same time, this also illustrates, why it may be not that great a choice for a WIMP interface: the kind of "intimacy" related to the specific mode of interaction is essentially different. Where contrast and too much of variety may be irritating for a touch interface, it may be already too low in contrast and information density for a WIMP GUI. On the other hand, visual grouping (and semantic collapsing of groups) is much more important for the more remote WIMP interface, whereas touch already is much more locally focused. Generally, treating them both the same isn't a good idea.
