I think just about all of the older guard are in trouble. Things sounded pretty ominous for Nikon last year and I'm sure COVID-19 isn't helping camera sales. https://petapixel.com/2019/11/12/nikon-says-its-cameras-need...

> There's always been a suspicion, occasionally backed up by anecdotal evidence, that the social media giants Twitter and Facebook have been skewing the balance of power in public discourse toward the Left, by "shadowbanning", censoring right-leaning posts, and occasionally even banning conservative users for seemingly minor infractions, while taking no action against similar or worse offences from people on the Left.

> Lately, it seems they've thrown away all pretence of even-handedness: Twitter, in particular, has been taking down account after account of conservative commentators, even placing a "call to violence" warning on President Trump's pledge to enforce the law on mobs of anarchists and arsonists.

I don't think people are misreading your post as approving of the bug. What people are responding to is your suggestion of a workaround: "If you visit the realty.com site directly..."

And the question is: How do you visit the site directly if typing the domain name into the url field doesn't take you there. Your workaround either doesn't work or needs more explanation.
They've already had them for a few decades.

There seems to be research exploring links between blood sugar regulation (diabetes) and aging. I guess that shows up in metformin <-> aging correlations/links.

Do you have pointers to research linking liver function to diabetes and perhaps to aging research.

It’s known that non alcoholic fatty liver is common in people who will develop type 2 diabetes. But the link is not well understood. (There doesn’t seem to be a consensus on how the two are linked?).

Any solid references would be helpful, I’ve only found older nature reviews from 2006 and 2010. Maybe that’s the state of understanding but curious to get any additional pointers.

Asking for a friend :)
Thanks. You did a better job explaining this than I.

Sounds like Verizon's Facebook advertising spend is losing value because of COVID-19, so they're using this a way to redirect focus away from the negative impact on their business.

All of the companies doing this right now are 'pausing spend' rather than redirecting. They're reducing their marketing budgets and pointing the finger at Facebook so no one looks too closely at the implications of their reduced ad spend.
Blows my mind becuase I do not understand how Quora is still around or even generating revenue at all.

My first thought when I saw the headline was this is really just about self-preservation and runway extension. Most companies who pivot to a remote first approach are not going to be doing it for altruistic reasons - like being good for their employee health - they're gonna do it merely because it saves money.
In bigger semiconductor business we have three main fabs.
Intel, TSMC, Global Foundries. Intel is closed to outside customers, so again we have a duopoly there.

It's not very very different in the bigger picture if you ask me.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah, this seems like a bad practice! Following that SE link, it seems Stack Overflow does a similar thing, and Google and Twitter etc. I'm not sure how or why people are supposed to trust super-suspicious-looking links. What's the idea supposed to be? "If an email says it's from PayPal, just click on it"? What could possibly go wrong. How are we supposed to know it's legit? Do some research on every link before clicking?!
Maybe not worse than the "first version of Jenkins" but it's quite bad and I have never ever heard "I like TC UI" from anyone in any job, they all disliked it or outright hated it (myself included). And after so many years, it's still bad and complicated. The base is solid though, it'd just be so much better with proper UX.
Hey thanks, I can use this right now, I'm relearning. I didn't used to touch-type. I recently started to learn an alternative keyboard layout.

First tried Dvorak, my starting wpm was too frustratingly low. Looked at Colemak but Tarmak had too many steps.

Made Qwickly and am up to 50-60 wpm after about 3 weeks. I also noticed that since I'm trying to improve my typing speed that I touch-type when using the new layout.

Well the caveat is that the code for a VST could be easily compiled for an ARM target and the result would be an AU.
Quora is a pretty small company, and the sum total of all startups (not including FAANGs) all going remote will be a small fraction of the population of workers. I guess that’s why you specified knowledge workers.

I dunno. Here’s why I think it will and will not happen.

My company has been up to 50% remote in the past six years (way earlier when we were smaller) and have gone fully remote since shelter-in-place.

We have a really well established remote culture, so it was pretty easy. We’ve had people join in remote roles who found that they were not able to work well in that way.

I think it takes a confluence of the company culture, the individual, and the management’s willingness to do new and different work to accommodate a remote work culture.

This will not be broad, and some who try it will fail miserably, others will discover new inefficiencies and problems they’ll sink a lot of time into trying to solve.

A bulk of the population will go back to their normal day-to-day, and as long as the rest of the world isn’t adjusting, I think it’s unlikely for such a dramatically different work style to take hold outside of a few niche areas.

I would love to be proven wrong though, as I really dislike living in the Bay Area, and I’ve become a lot more comfortable working and managing fully remotely over the past four months.

Related: My company is fully remote until 2021 - and we’re actively considering what to do after that. I am pretty convinced I will be moving forward with assuming my own team will be fully remote (support and services) if they want to, and I plan to only visit the office for important company/management meetings, but we’ll see what happens after the economy crashes completely.
The author of the parent explains their view well I think (not directed at statistics students). But I would like to make the more general complaint that this attitude seems pervasive in maths. People often fail to include enough detail in their derivations of proofs or their explanations of things and the students are left confused and unsure because they don't see how they got from step 3 to step 4.

Homeschooled, myself. Academically, I have a MS CS. My sibling has a PhD. It worked, academically.

I don't particularly recommend it for anyone without substantial need. I would put genius-level children at that level. We weren't geniuses.

I can imagine an... alternative... schooling coop which would work well. But there are whole volumes of good behavior that I had to intake as a teen & young adult that homeschooling had no ability to teach me.

Parents of homeschooled kids don't notice, I think. Because this is about peer behavior and interaction. Not child-parent interaction.
Sigh, more politics intermingled with doing business. Just provide a service and leave it be.
> So in a world in which the President of the United States openly expresses envy of how Kim Il Sung is treated

The fact that a politician is narcissistic is as unsurprising as it is irrelevant to the discussion topic at hand.

> calls the free press 'the enemy of the people'

To be fair, the attacks on the modern "free press" pulling them up for their transparent lying on a great deal of issues are frequently perfectly justified, and the fact that they are called out for lying isn't restricting their free speech, it's pointing out that they're full of shit. If they were restricted from speaking to begin with there would be no need to point out when they were lying and being manipulative after the fact.

As much as they are full of shit, lie through their teeth, and constantly push narratives that don't hold up to the slightest scrutiny, I still don't believe they should be silenced. That's what free speech absolutism actually means.

> you are trying to argue the only things free speech absolutists should be concerned about come from people with comparatively little power on the left of the political spectrum saying they are offended by things. Right.

I'm not arguing that at all, being a free speech absolutist is arguing that all infringement on free speech is abhorrent. It's simply a point of indisputable fact that the majority of modern infringement on free speech comes from the left and their associated cancel culture cancerous nonsense, the fact you can't even accept this is frankly baffling, but likely emblematic of your observation that it will be impossible for anybody who is aware of that blatant indisputable fact to come to agreement with you.

> The allegedly much worse examples you've cited of the left eroding free speech are the 'me too' movement

Completely incorrect once again, my previous reference to me-too'ism was regarding your defense of the erosion of free speech in the western world being ok because there are other complete shitholes in the world that erode it in a different way, it had nothing to do with the movement you misinterpreted it as.

> but one thing we both have in common is that clearly neither of us are free speech absolutists.

Your confusion is dizzying.
Hmm, fair enough. My sense was that "off the cuff side commentary" meant perhaps things said by an instructor during the intermissions, and that the intent was more to prevent them from saying anything they wouldn't be comfortable saying to the general public, but I realize that's due to my not following the thread of the conversation closely enough :)
You might be interested in Powershell. I used bash for 20 years and considered myself an experienced user and programmer with it. Comparatively, my experience with Powershell is relatively short, but I switched to it and the first time I needed to handle a piece of structured data I was hooked and haven't looked back.
Running any connection/TCP based service on an anycast IP seems to require a large and effective network operations team.

Dealing with BGP route flapping, single connection traffic being split between different servers, is a difficult problem that requires extensive relationships among other network operators.

Implementing EDNS Client Subnet, on the other hand is pretty simple.
> But my main point is that it’s absurd to accuse Airbus of overlooking an obvious improvement without even a cursory understanding of the matter.

Who made such an accusation? The only way you can assume that's my assertion is if you think the UI of an airplane is literally perfect already. If there is room for improvement, which obviously there is, it's not necessarily because anyone was negligent, it's because we're constantly learning and improving.

I find all of your arguments unconvincing and tied to the status quo rather than acknowledging that improvement is possible sometimes even in obvious ways given new information.

Just because there is the potential for poorly thought out improvements, does not mean that every suggested improvement adds a prohibitive level of complexity. You've failed to demonstrate that such a prohibitive level of complexity would be added with my suggested improvement... you've simply asserted it.

On top of everything, you've not provided any credentials showing you know any more about the situation than I do, yet you seem every bit as confident.

And all of those tools (at least the ones I've looked at) use SSH internally as well and are just as susceptible to network errors, except they tend to fail with less feedback than the raw ssh command.

I never take it on blind faith either:

for i in {000..199}; do ssh machine$i "echo new_setting > /file"; done

for i in {000..199}; do ssh machine$i "grep new_setting /file"; done

for i in {000..199}; do ssh machine$i "reload service"; done

for i in {000..199}; do ssh machine$i "verify reload"; done

As I was taught "never make a change without verifying it". All changes are documented as well.

Yes. It's really worth dwelling on the long-term implications of terabyte+ sized blocks and fees of a thousand of a cent. This is where BSV is heading and everything changes at that scale. New use cases are unlocked. Old architectures need to be rethought. It's the most interesting technology I've encountered in a long time and it's a gem of entrepreneurship opportunity for those that can stomach swimming upstream.

Which is true, but very few professionals would use a Micro four-thirds camera to take these type of photo over a DSLR.
To be fair to Verizon, they have not laid off a single person since March. The retrained 95% of their retail workers to be at home support agents and the rest are still working in their stores for issues that have to be solved in person.

So it makes sense that they would need to cut budget somewhere, since employees is not one of them.
Fact-free assertions :/
Huh, I'd assumed they were doing some type of emulation thing (which is still impressive as heck), are they actually executing native instructions on a non-Apple CPU?

Actually, I'd love to read more about Corellium in general—have they made any technical details public, even high level? They seem to be very secretive about how it all works—which, to be fair, I can totally understand.
Those are fun. Just got through the first one with 17 total tries (most of which were on the 8th question).

Some of them are dubious, though, IMO. For example:

> The total amount available to |disperse| will be $150 million annually.

I guess in a journalism context more people are talking about disbursing than dispersing, but how am I supposed to know that? For all I know this sentence comes from an article about wanting to "scatter" that money.

EDIT: another example from the second quiz:

> Republicans will not like many of these proposals, but they have been |fulsome| in their praise of Mr. Trump since his election. Speaker Paul D. Ryan, for instance, has repeatedly said that he expects Mr. Trump to work with Republicans on their agenda of rolling back the Affordable Care Act and making large-scale changes to the tax code and entitlements.

The explanation for why "fulsome" is wrong here was that "this word means not just “full” or “abundant” but “offensively excessive.”". How am I supposed to know "offensively excessive" wasn't the intended meaning here? I ended up picking it simply because it came across as a bit too pretentious, but not before I picked "instance" for the same reason ("for instance" instead of "for example" bugs me a bit).
I'm not using the Apple ecosystem but I thought that was at least originally part of the premise of the App Store. Curated content, at Apple's discretion, where they could decide that something should not be included if it somehow didn't fit their vision by adding too many confusing choices or something.

Maybe that has changed over the years while I wasn't watching, either in letter or in practice, and it is indeed not something you would expect to happen. But to me it kind of sounds like just Apple being Apple.
I think it's a reasonable solution at the margins as long as the situtation in countries like Venezuela is as bad as it is. I don't think many people dispute that.

But as a solution for the institutional failures it still is not a replacement and obviously the solution in Venezuela needs to be repairing the system.

Same with Sci-Hub in this case. The Bitcoin donations alleviate financial pressure somewhat, but of course the lawsuits and IP-infringement will still haunt everyone involved.

I have my issues with Ansible, and I'm really not a fan of "templated YAML"-based tools, which has been an unfortunate trend that's not limited to Ansible (GCDM and helm share this problem). But if you're writing a lot of bash scripts into your plays you're probably doing it wrong.
It whines at `ldd`, too, but that ain't stopping me.
Apple wants to put its users in chains and keep them locked to the platform for life. It is important to keep the system closed to third parties like independent repairers and other operating systems. Once they have their own CPU they can kill off virtualization and hackintosh even though they have no impact on their revenue and make it impossible to run other operating systems on their hardware. Push all software into an app store.

I thought the Mac was amazing back in the mid-80s. I was very impressed with the ipod touch and ipad. I owned an early unibody macbook pro. I can understand the benefits of the closed platform with everything micro-managed by Apple. But it is suffocating. I am more than willing to give up trivial advantages for relatively open hardware platforms and software.
Biden Cancer Nonprofit Paid Its Top Execs Millions
We need to get corporate interests as far away from political speech as possible.

It's honestly a disgrace these companies are trying to boycott Facebook for not wanting to censor our speech.

We all know the phase "hate speech" is interchangeable with anything that's not deemed advertiser friendly to these corporations.

You think these companies want to advertise against a status update critical of the BLM movement? Of course not. If Facebook buckles to these demands they'll be boycotting Facebook to censor posts critical of political movements they don't like next. We need to stop acting as if billion dollar corporations have our best interests at heart.
It doesn’t work for me. I wonder if it’s location related? I’m in spain if it makes any difference.

A 27 inch 1440p monitor has a PPI of ~108. These are what all high end consumer displays like the Apple Cinema displays, Dell U2711s, etc had before they all moved to 4K.

A 27 inch at 4k has a PPI of ~163. This is basically industry standard for high end consumer displays. Sure there are a few 5K screens, but they are not common. I've also seen a lot of folks use 32 inch 4k displays which would have even lower PPI.

A 15 inch 1080p screen has a PPI of ~146. So not as good as a 4K screen at 27 inches, but still MUCH higher than the 1440p monitors.
I know that Canon had fabs for their sensors at least back in the day, probably also now.
Are trash chutes still a thing? Back in France I've seen the existing ones in the older buildings being sealed, presumably due to hygiene concerns (and they are valid - all the chutes I've seen were disgusting and presumably a breeding ground for all kinds of nastiness) and no modern buildings seem to have them.

> What I'm arguing against is uniformity of interface.

> You wouldn't connect a tyre to a wheel the same way you would mount an engine to a chassis.

Yes, you're right, LEGO is extremely uniform, and no real system is _that_ uniform.

And even a uniform interface doesn't mean any combination makes sense.

Attaching a LEGO brick with wheels on the roof of a LEGO car is not different than soldering an axle on the roof of a car: technically possible but utterly useless.

Actually, soldering an axle on the roof of a car is composing uniform interfaces: atoms in chemical bonds form a finite set of building blocks too!

> The Olympus cameras are extremely capable, yet small in size.

That advantage evaporated after Sony released A7 in 2013, which was almost equal in size yet contained a vastly larger and more capable sensor. Olympus hung on while A7 line was still expensive, but now that one can get an older used model for as much as a new micro-four-thirds one, Olympus bit the dust. Many saw this coming for a long while.
That's not exactly a trick. It's the point of the definition.

Business is political. It’s only can appear apolitical if business activity is so in harmony with the political status-quo that political conflict and negotiation is almost wholly absent.

Facebook is obviously involved politically, and has been well before 2016. Hell, how many millions do you think they spend on political lobbying? Why do they fill so many of their high-up executive positions with ex-politicians?
