Same here to some degree. Those who wield actual power will never be criticized or exposed, which means that journalists are inherently useless or closer to being a corpse.

Daphne Caruana Galizia, Tim Pool, Andy Ngo are some who are constantly attacked both verbally and physically and thus I have bit more faith in them than I do for others "journalists".

The left is certainly guilty of ignoring gun or crime statistics they don't want to hear, but it's totally disingenuous to compare them to folks in the hard right-wing camp, such as fundamentalist Christians or the hardcore climate deniers.
That's how stories are written. Short, succinct and informative enough to give the readers what they need for the day. Now, there are times when reporters work on "enterprise" pieces that dives fairly deep into a particular topic. Many national papers have investigative teams that churn out one or two stories A YEAR, but they are dense thorough. Perhaps that what you might enjoy reading.
> Third, if this person ever wants to get a real job, the $100k won't go away,

It's true the $100k doesn't immediately disappear, but it seems safe to assume that taking on a full time job would leave a lot less time to do OSS work and would probably result in a non-trivial loss of sponsorship.
That's what gets me in this situation.

Publishing the article with his full name if he's OK with that is an acceptable outcome.

Binning the article entirely if he's not OK with publishing his full name is also an acceptable outcome (though honestly it's a waste of time on all parties and it would have been better to make this constraint clear up front).

But publishing the article anyway and releasing his full name against his will, when he's the primary source for the story? That seems like a no-no. Interestingly, this hasn't happened yet, and seems like it may never at this rate.
They spend a few paragraphs on Cleveland, which is pretty close to the opposite of a desert city. Rebuilding the sewers is an expensive, multi-decade project here that needs to be paid for, and water treatment and pumping isn't free anywhere.

They're quite right that rising water and sewage costs are a concern here, but it would have been interesting for them to spend a little more effort and explain how the guy they mentioned accumulated $30k in debt to the water company, which is a bit extreme even for the area. (googling the guy revealed a separate story of him being foreclosed on because of taxes: https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/e-team/warrensville-heig...)

One Scott Alexander is no threat to them, but 10 could be, and this is clearly going to produce a chilling effect.

Edit for clarification:

I mean 10 commentators with his level of diligence who are willing to engage with difficult issues without ignoring the complexity.

We desperately need more of that in our society, and this action by the NYT will have a chilling effect.

It is profoundly wrong and antidemocratic.
I'm not sure it's accurate to say that doing open source gives you "complete freedom". In some way, you are responsible to your contributors / users and they are kind of paying your bills.
Tesla is probably over-valued, but not every over-valued company fails. Some (amazon, tesla, google) eventually back-fill value into their bubbles.

IMHO it really comes down to how solid the business and its' operations are as a whole. As long as they aren't mis-spending any excess capital in horrible ways, they can definitely do well. Of course, I prefer to see more conservative approaches to growth and expenditures but that's nearly impossible with a car company.

Depending on your kids age, they will remember this differently than you do. This is the period where their parents were present more. Sure there was shortness, and sure there is conflict but they'll remember the tickle-fights, the games you play, the time you check out of work and just be part of their world.

The other thing I think, is how grateful I am for my wife. I checkout sometimes. Shit, this weekend she told the kids to just give me a break for a little while and I needed it. But I checkout so I can come back and do the tickle fights without being resentful.

You might be surprised that some of your kids best memories may be from this time.
That man was a United States Senator who suggested using the military to suppress political dissent. The suggestion that this is some minor newspeak squabble or a brief outbreak of political correctness grossly underplays how dangerous this suggestion was and the seeing you try to use Orwell to support your point is even more ridiculous.

About three weeks ago I built Fifty (based of a post on Indie Hackers) to promote & help indie hacker projects get some exposure.

I wanted to add some sort of compeditive element, so I went the community upvote route - with a twist. All upvotes get cleared at the start of the week, to give everyone a chance at reaching the top spot. Think Product Hunt, but you get to launch every week.

This week is the first round. Yesterday I added this leaderboard (the post link) to give a quick view of how the first week is going.

> Firstly it's a proposal for ~€100bn (not ~$100bn), the current program is ~€80bn.

€100bn is $113bn; ~€80bn is $90bn.

$100bn is close enough.

> It's really not low single digit.

EU budget != European science funding. The $100bn number was used to illustrate that the amount is not that huge, with the addition that "on top of that all the member states have their own projects, and non-EU European states have their own science funding."

As I pointed out elsewhere, e.g. Norway, which is one of the 23 CERN members but not an EU member, has an annual R&D budget of $6bn. Over the roughly 30 year period of this project, that's $180bn.

Even if you assume half of that is what you consider "soft" funding (quite likely), Norway alone could fund all of CERN and this new collider (of course that would devastate Norway's other science programs).

As it stands, Norway's contribution to CERN is about $30m/year, which adds up to the highest per capita contribution of any CERN member. The UK for example pays less than half as much per capita.

It is overall likely (I haven't checked) that CERN adds up to less than a single percent of the science budgets of its member states alone. The CERN member states make up less than half of European countries (though most of the biggest and richest), so it's fairly safe to assume it takes up less than a percent of overall European science funding.
You're correct, which appropriately enough is why you're downvoted. The letters were placed on telephone dials when telephone ‘numbers’ used a mnemonic exchange+digits format¹, so there was no requirement to include the entire alphabet. Advertising mnemonics like the one in the grandparent comment came later, and entering arbitrary text such as names, which actually requires the whole alphabet, much later.

Did you read SSC's post? SSC didn't mention anything of a "promise" or "agreement" for the reporter to not use his name. The reporter found it another way.

Now, if SSC explicitly said the reporter promised not to use his name, then that opens a new can of worms.

I don't know what style guide ProPublica uses, but very recently AP decided to capitalize Black when used as a cultural term when it conveys "essential and shared sense of history, identity and community among people who identify as Black".

Not exactly the same thing, but this reminds me of a style of speaking/writing that avoids using "to be" verbs. I don't remember the name and can't seem to find it on Wikipedia right now, but it's similar to what this article describes [1]. The crux of it is, you avoid framing things as more absolute and permanent than they really are. For example, you are not inherently bad at math, you are just bad at it in your current state you don't quickly solve problems people regard as "math". Or you are not inherently a bad person, you just did some specific things that hurt people.

Most police in the world works like this. The only exception to this rule is countries like Japan, Switzerland and Singapore.

In those countries, as a working class citizen you can rely on the police to make sure to keep monopoly on violence and keep you safe, when they fail to do so, they will at least bring some level of justice to whoever did you wrong - though less in Switzerland than I'd like.

At least the US offers weapons for your own protection. In parts of Europe you just have to accept being sexually assaulted or stabbed.

So I had to look this up: Docker do not rely on VT-x. If kernel has cgroups it runs.

Hypothetically it could run natively on Windows NT, Linux, Darwin, Solaris, etc if it ported for appropriate APIs. However, most Docker containers contain x86_64 Linux binaries, so the runtime environment has to be binary compatible with x86_64 Linux.

Thus, instead of going through the pain similar to WSL1, Docker people just spin up a midsize Linux VM, run remote controlled Docker daemon in it and call that as the "Docker for [PLATFORM]". This will suffice because use case of Docker is to debug on a laptop and deploy to GNU/Linux servers.

So if ARM macOS runs an x86_64 Ubuntu VM it also means Docker runs.

Yes, it would be great to know there are mature facilities for manipulating dataframes and arrays, along with mature linear/tensor algebra facilities, ideally with support for offloading computation to GPUs and TPUs. The equivalent of something like scikit-learn, even if it fall short of its breadth and depth. Also, facilities for automatic differentiation, or alternatively, stable and well-supported integration with frameworks like TensorFlow and/or PyTorch (tch looks like a possible option).

Ok, but is it reasonable for people to understand the potential risks?

I don’t see any reporting on the dangers of talking to reporters. Where is the NYT piece on what happens to people after they have been linked to something in the news?
