I studied film (and have a Master of Arts thanks to that) – so yes – you are right. But I don't see why as an educator you would have to create everything yourself. There is a lot of good existing stuff. And if there isn't, you don't need to create a masterpiece. It would be enough if you think about what to say and what not to say in a limited timeframe (as opposed to improvising for an hour).

And I never said chitchat isn't okay. I clearly said that this is part of why people do it. We have to realise that people sit at home, and can get very easily distracted. If you are an educator your goal should be to counter that by creating a clear structure. Let's say: 15mins of focused introduction, 20 mins on free chitchat, then watching a video collectively, then discussion about it, etc. This is what successful educators in our university do. If you don't structure it (e.g. I witnessed 4 hours of unstructured chitchat), you are exhausting everyone, and they would have gained more from just watching one youtube video on the topic.
One major thing is probably that the NYC subway did 24 hour operation (recently stopped due to covid-19) so there wasn't an easy period for maintenance tasks where the London Underground seems to run 5am-12am so there's a nice 5 hour block for maintenance.

Practice being terrible.

I think a lot of us have some idea of what "practice" means, but very few of us do it. Instead, we "play to win". Because it feels like practice but it really isn't.

For example, a lot of folks want to get better at basketball, so they play pickup games. Which is great. But isn't enough to get really good. You're trying to win at that game. So you won't do the necessary things to learn new skills. And the necessary things is to look like an idiot while you try a new move, a fadeaway, dribbling with your weak hand, etc.

I think that applies to most of life. We sort of think we're trying to get better, but really we're in all these games to win.

So to get better at this, I think it's necessary to just shift to more things that look like real practice with no intent on outcome. Give yourself chores like: I'm going to write an article every week for 6 months in different styles that match authors I look up to. (Maybe you publish these, maybe you don't.)

There's no winning in that statement (except the part about showing up every day). Many of us are going to resist and try to turn the exercise into: I'm going to try and grow my blog subscribers by X over 6 months. No, that's a game about winning. Get back to just practice.

When we understand what practice really feels like, the growth mindset comes more naturally: Ah yes, I'm used to sucking at something but I show up and practice and see how I get better.

Another exercise: practice being terrible in public. Give yourself quotas show off how bad you are at the beginning. Like publish yourself learning something something. Twitch stream learning to code. Publish those first awful videos you edit. Every. Day.
Accept that it’s very possible you can’t do X or Y.

Are X and Y reasonable? Are they things you even want to do? Or things that you feel like you have to do because of some hacker-start-up-culture-HN-bullshit? Why even care when someone challenges you?

Everybody’s different and some people (like me) aren’t capable of a lot. Once I accepted that, life became a lot easier. I read, watch TV, exercise, do decently at work, but am I really doing anything? Not really. But I’m OK with that.
This article isn't worth the time. TL;DR: A lot of digital ink was spilt about a digital Maginot line, but skimps out on spilling ink for the solution

> The solution to this problem requires collective responsibility among military, intelligence, law enforcement, researchers, educators, and platforms. Creating a new and functional defensive framework requires cooperation.

So the solution is that we must work together, starting with the military? Is there something actionable here?

> It’s time to prioritize frameworks for multi-stakeholder threat information sharing and oversight. The government has the ability to create meaningful deterrence, to make it an unquestionably bad idea to interfere in American democracy and manipulate American citizens.

What deterrence are you proposing? The kinetic kind?

> It can revamp national defense doctrine to properly contextualize the threat of modern information operations, and create a whole-of-government approach that’s robust regardless of any new adversary, platform, or technology that emerges. And it can communicate threat intelligence to tech companies.

And that's it? Reading the content from think tanks at least put out something more substantial.

Since LHC isn't a vanity project your whole argument breaks down. Also, climate change is largely not a topic for science, but for politics. Politicians know what to do, they just don't want to. No amount of science can fix this.

It is a hyperbole; that's exactly the point that 3131s is making. It is a (quite extreme) exaggeration, and therefor factually not correct.

I might indeed make some assumptions about smell. Though having smelled both durian and rotting carcasses on multiple occasions, I find it unlikely that there are people that would find durian as repulsive as rotting meat. The smell of death literally turns your stomach (and makes you vomit in extreme cases). I've never heard someone throwing up from the smell of durian.

Spending tens of billions of dollars to keep scientists distracted so they might not potentially work on damaging projects is beyond absurd. For a start, I don't even think there's consensus that the Manhattan project wasn't beneficial as a whole, given the relative peace we've had since the second world war. What you said completely undermines a community that has undoubtedly advanced society more than any other.
This may be slightly off topic here, but I attended a birthday party of a friend last year. Long story short, there was a guy at the same pub who OD'd and my wife and I helped him until the ambulance arrived. There was a 'reality' TV cameraman with them and we didn't want him filming us so I asked him to stop. His tactic was to shove the camera in my face and make snide remarks to provoke a reaction. When I put my hand up and stepped back, the guy tilted the camera back really quickly and took a knee panning it up at me, and started saying things like "you hit me! That's assault". To this day I have no idea what ended up being shown, if anything, but it was an eye opening experience about the abject dishonesty involved in reality TV. I can just as easily see that applied to TV journalism.
I can't speak for the rest of the US, but I have a family of 4, and we pay maybe $50/mo for our water bill, so maybe $600/year. More than the German average, but not egregious. Relative to a lot of other countries, the US is kind of more like strong union of a bunch of countries (states)-- each with unique environments and ecosystems-- than it is like a united, single country. So, you can say: "Americans are like ___", and you can almost certainly find a spot in the US where your statement holds true.

As for costs, the US has wildly variable costs on most things, depending on where you live. For example, I pay $1.50 per gallon for gas, but one state up, it's above $2.00. I live in a comfortable house, and pay less for my mortgage + taxes than folks in New Jersey pay just in taxes on a smaller house. This variance is a side-effect of a more decentralized governmental system where states have a lot of power, combined with a wide variation in environments / scarcity across the country.

I literally laughed out loud at this. And then I realized you are actually serious and I pondered the decline of Western civilization.

And to be clear, the claim is that the NYT "cancelled" this blog by easily finding who the author is. No, the author cancelled this blog because they feel uncomfortable correlating the things they say with their professional persona. He could have done a better job with anonymity if that was really so important.

This author was outed well more than a year ago, at the time doing a foot stomping "I am not responsible for my words" plea and stating they would stop writing about contentious topics (where their opinion amazingly veered far right on virtually every topic). I hardly think these imaginary death dealers are waiting for the NYT when the information was out there a year and a half ago.

I don't think so. Judging by the low salaries most companies are offering in parallel with the huge number of devs on reddit from outside of the EU wanting to move to Germany it doesn't look like there's a shortage of developers, quite the contrary.

If there was a shortage, pretty shore we'd see higher salaries being offered.

I don’t know for sure, but one of the most shocking things to me has been the presence of private water companies outside of municipalities completely screwing their customers left and right (I live in Texas).

I had a friend who moved her parents up to a new development a couple hours north of Austin, and just outside the city limits. The couple thought they’d save a ton of money not having to pay city property taxes. The tradeoff meant that they didn’t get city water, their water was supplied by a private company.

Their new water bill was significantly higher, and they had no real recourse to fight their new rates. Everyone needs running water. It’s the perfect product to hold your customers captive with, and that company makes so much money exploiting that situation.
It’s enterprise software, so by definition it “sucks” to the average developer due to its complexity and accumulated tech debt. Show me one software tool that has as much functionality as SAP and does not suck by your standards. Unicorns like Slack have better UI/UX because they solve a conceptually much simpler problem. Maybe you could say it’s better to find a large market that can be addressed with a simple tool, but being in a large market with an incredibly complex product also has its benefits. I doubt for example that SAP will be disrupted by a unicorn with better UI because the upfront cost of building the same functionality that SAP offers (and which is not superfluous) is horrendously high. Regarding Slack I can absolutely imagine that it will be disrupted in the near future, because it’s conceptually a much simpler product.
> In case you didn't notice, every election there's lawn signs saying "endorsed by the Police Union" or similar.

That doesn't contradict anything I said. There are signs saying that not because public sector unions as a whole either make up the 20% of the electorate you've claimed or vote in a unified block across different public sector unions as you've claimed, but because the general public, and especially voters that consider “law and order” an important concern, are particularly likely to be swayed by law enforcement union endorsements.

> If you want to see DA politics in action, watch just about any Law & Order episode when they discuss optics. Those "stories" are based on current affairs.

...often, quite badly. I've got a Political Science degrees from a subprogram specialized in the pragmatics of US electoral politics at all levels; “Law & Order” is, I know, entertaining to a lot of people, but it's not really a guide to reality on, well, anything.
Yes. Doxxing people whose only crime is producing good but complex content for the world to enjoy is cyberbullying. If bullies are on the right side of history I have no interest in the metric.
Honestly, I find Zoom to be "WebEx, but not as good". There's just a dozen little things about Zoom that make it seem like it is a copy that someone didn't bother to put enough time into.

- At least half the time, one of the dialins doesn't work

- It's not uncommon for the meeting and caller id to be "below the fold", plus you can't resize the window with them, plus it scrolls to the top whenever someone joins. So you'll scroll down to see the meeting id, start typing, someone will join, it'll scroll back up, and you'll have to scroll back down.

There's just a bunch of minor issues like this that add up to make it seem like Zoom was done by one of those "oh, I can write that up in a weekend" people.

To add a note of positive, both of them are much better than some of the other systems I've used. There was one where the mute button was right next to the hang up button; I'd wind up accidentally disconnecting from calls accidentally on average once per call.

I asked some science journalists about this on Twitter. Tight deadlines are a problem, but the bigger issue is that there’s some sort of journalistic principle about not letting “sources” see—-or approve—-the completed article.

I don’t totally understand why, but I think they were a little unclear on what most scientists want, which is more like checking language and details (a lot of words that seem synonymous aren't in technical contexts) than controlling the overall message.
> But living in a bubble doesn't sound that great either.

I'd call myself an "accidental moderate" in PG's terms, and there are lots of good accounts on Twitter that look at both sides of the issue.

You don't need to follow lots of accounts on a wide range of the political spectrum, but simply avoid the partisan/"belief bunching" preachers, and pick the smartest and most rational ones instead. This has been the biggest source of education for me recently.
You are taking an extreme example, where they do not even mention his usage, and then extrapolating that to the entire U.S. It's entirely possible he has a leak and is spewing thousands of gallons of water into the ground or some weird thing.

We use ~3k gallons per month for normal use. In the summer months this goes up a fair bit because we water our lawn. But our overall bill is like $20/mo-$30/mo for water.

In terms of teaching fundamentals of operating system theory and systems programming, is there such a thing as an operating system kernel written in Python or some language which is meant to be easy to hack on for educational purposes? I wonder how useful that would be for a CS student, taking the complexity of C, C++, or Rust out of the picture and just running a kernel in a VM for educational purposes.

> [...] instead of doing blue-sky research.

In 1921 the photoelectric effect, for which Einstein won a Nobel, was blue-sky research with no practical applications. Fast forward a few decades and it was used as the basis for making laser: you know, those things that all modern communication uses to transfer information over long distances.

While it is up to debate how much to spend on "blue-sky research", cutting off funding to 'basic science' is rather short-sited as we cut off future 'practical' developments that can improve our lives if we don't have the foundations of the basics to build on.
I don't know Mac mail. As for website acceleration, there's many forms.. there's still software people try to push that basically installs add-ons into browsers... Then there's simply add-ons you can download, which could easily do anything.

For mail clients, it comes down to implementation there as well, but it's less likely a major vendor would add tracking protection checkboxes, then fail on them too badly..... Less likely... And they usually don't have add-ons of the like that would be a problem.
Scott's coronavirus articles were reliably ahead of the media. He was early with insights such as the insufficiencies of the flattening the curve model, the efficacy of masks, and warning it could become a pandemic.

These opinions are now mainstream. He gave them a platform earlier than the media did, because he was more open to being wrong and to exploring heterodox ideas, but also applied research and rigour when writing about them.
I disagree.

- Returns of Savings accounts were better accross the industrialized world back then.

There's an old saying that whatever is worth doing is worth doing badly. So true. When I was in Germany, they have a saying that you start with "something to hate". Already knowing that what you're about to do is going to be crap makes it easy to get going. Then you set about fixing your crappy beginning. It gets you unstuck.

I think for men the incentives are different. If they succeed they have more options in dating, financial freedom, respect from other men, etc. Women get respect too but don't think more dating options (I would even presume the opposite). I met few women that are heavily into investments and becoming independent financially. Women value more relationships, happiness. Men are willing to sacrifice those for money and fame.

The fundamental issue at hand is sexual selection and the desire to leave something behind. It goes beyond societal norms and is buried deep into our biology.

There are solutions to the problems we discuss these days. We have experts and researchers who are dedicated to find better solutions.

But sadly, Politics are focused to win the election and next elections. Populism and non-populism, left and right, social-networks and media, we all made it so hard for experts and scientist to be heard and to be trusted. We are so loud that we are only hearing ourselves. We can talk non-sense with insufficient knowledge and call it open discussion.

As an expert, what you want when you work with many journalists is a dedicated journalist handler who is not an expert.

Make sure this person understands the basics properly and they make sure the journalist understands. After some time explaining the same topic you both usually know the common misunderstandings and easiest-to-understand explanations. Then, give the journalist a phone number and tell them to call for any questions whatsoever.

At least for us, during field measurements, that usually worked quite well, I didn't find any significant mistakes afterwards.
