One of the most powerful tools in design is friction. The more friction things take, the less they'll be done, and visa versa. Taking screenshots of later deleted tweets is high friction, so it only comes in the most extreme circumstances by the most dedicated people. What about other circumstances?

I'm seeing a lot of acceptance of the status quo in responses here, that things will never get better, that people behave how they behave and that is that. I fundamentally disagree - I think we've gotten ourselves into this situation through designs that unintentionally favor certain outcomes, and if we are more intentional about what outcomes we wish to have, altering those designs can lead us to better outcomes.

That function is also performed by insurance companies in the US, sometimes known as managed care organizations. Many large companies self insure and use health insurance companies’ resources to implement their health benefits.

Most, if not all, states outsource the implementation of their Medicaid plans to large insurers like Anthem or UHC or Humana, etc.
If they go directly to the page, FB will still apply its filter to the posts in that group.

FB doesn't filter the posts, shows them all - I'd be surprised if you could show otherwise.

FB doesn't do it's comment-filtering but that can be gotten around by clicking show more.

I've never had the experience of FB hiding comments in a fashion I fundamentally couldn't find them (and I do a lot of discussion on FB). It can be hard to see everything.
For one they could improve their product. Every suggestion I made was ignored, despite us being one of their larger customers. I even told them how to implement what I wanted but never heard anything further. I wish we would go elsewhere as their product is not sufficient. Maybe the problem starts at the CEO not the developers.
Exactly, that's a good way of putting it.
I've been using NewRelic for a while now, and it's a great product. But, I don't see many moats around the business model. There's nothing preventing other competitors from popping up and taking market share. The cost of switching is equivalent to the cost of installing a competitor's system of perf measurement which shouldn't be very high. If I were to guess, I'd say this is a competitive market.

Is there a case anyone can think of (other than backward compatibility with legacy workflows and expectations) that one would write a new browser app with an old desktop OS look and feel?

That is, are there use cases that a classic OS's GUI excels at more than the typical web or mobile/tablet app GUI, that we have lost due to the typical style and behavior of the latter types of apps? I mean both the interaction model of the windows and menus themselves, and also the look and behavior of elements used to render content.

You are looking at this all wrong.

First, your assumptions on net income are too pessimistic. Small founder-operated SaaS can be extremely profitable.

Second, and more importantly, you are ignoring concepts of LTV and NPV of future cash flows.

Assuming 80% SDI and a churn-rate that is < 5% (ideally < 3%) you are looking at a business worth $700-950k right now. Why? An income stream from a growing high margin SaaS business is a coveted and valuable thing.

Finally, when you have a business with 300k ARR you begin to unlock more options for yourself -- small acquisitions (traffic/content/funnel), ads, product improvements.

The likely path here is that their income will continue to grow and they will either be taking $200k a year in income or sell for > $2 million in a couple years, or both.

Having built a small SaaS business to this size myself for many years, i can totally recommend this path for independence and financial freedom.

Really? Because I've always found New Relic's UI to be far and away the most useful out of the half dozen or so APM's I'm often re-evaluating.

Maybe Infrastructure & Browser or what have you are not as good (I use Infra & Insights and have some complaints about them), but their APM imo has always really nailed it with presenting the pertinent info.

Agree completely. Negative social media behavior is many times just the tip of the iceberg of a much larger issue of the fabric of society being torn, of our spirits hurting, and of psychological issues surfacing. We must acknowledge this and offer paths for people to find psychological safety again, and one way is to soften and de-escalate the culture of discourse.
Engagement can also ultimately at odds with retention. We see people leaving Twitter and Facebook all the time due to exhaustion with the toxic conflict. So they become self-reinforcing cess pools of thought that (hopefully) gradually lose relevance.
I'm not sure if this will help, but I've got a PhD and a know a lot of people (from before and after my graduate student days) with PhDs. Everybody has their own path in life, even if you do a PhD and end up in academia or not.

Partway through my PhD I realized I had no interest in being a researcher. The reason was that after seeing what life as a tenure-track professor and/or researcher (e.g. Postdoc) was really like, I had no interest in that life for myself.

Forget research interests, being the next Godel, and all that. Ask yourself, is life as a researcher or professor what you want - because that is what you will have to deal with no matter what your research interests are or if you are working at an R1 university or community college.

Also, life is long. Don't worry about making the perfect career decision. Just make the best decision you can.
Yes, all existing FHE schemes have this property (called semantic security). The encryption algorithm is a randomized algorithm, which takes the plaintext and a random value as input (just like an IV). Note that we're talking about public-key crypto here, which is a different primitive from the symmetric crypto you're thinking of. Each key is actually a key pair consisting of a secret key and a public key. Such cryptosystems are based on some mathematical trapdoor: only with the secret key are you able to "undo" the randomization and learn the plaintext. It therefore doesn't matter if you want to undo the randomization on a direct encryption of a plaintext, or whether the ciphertext is the sum of several ciphertexts.

If you want to see how this works on a bit more technical level, look at the ElGamal cryptosystem [1]. It is in fact partially homomorphic (you can add ciphertexts, but cannot multiply), and it's probably the easiest to understand system with this property.

Windshield wipers are a mature and cheap technology that seems applicable.
You are 100% correct. It seems like a majority of the twitter crowds scream for the destruction of a person's reputation, livelihood, and family ties because of stuff that got said 15 years ago. It's pretty sad and why I don't bother at all. It's total swamp in my opinion, beyond salvation.
Hmm, it's only visible to people who are logged in.
I think "move fast, and break things" isn't as catchy, when it's harder to ignore that "things" being broken are often people.

I am curious, how do Solar Parks in India work? The Quaid-e-Azam park is in the Thar desert and the desert extends to India as well in the state of Rajasthan. India seems to have built a solar park at Bhadla, ~300 km away from Quaid-e-Azam, in a different part of the same desert.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhadla_Solar_Park

Apparently Bhadla is the world's largest solar park. I wonder if the two countries can co-operate on this (I know relations are mostly hostile currently)
I think he's missing two important points.

Firstly, when you break down your proof on the pigeonhole principle, you've shown that the problem reduces to something simple and understandable. It's basically a nicer version of "q.e.d.".

Secondly, and much more important: Integrating the principle allows the reader to understand the end of the proof more easily. I.e., if I find the principle mentioned in the end, I know that I need to look for "pigeons" and "holes" and that the proof is a way to get to those - allowing me to understand the proof from the conclusion going backwards, or at least helps doing so.

Of course, this varies per person and depends a bit on how much you're trained in reading proofs, too. But it's enough to justify naming it in my opinion.
I used to walk by the Paramount on the way to BART and always felt happy and excited for the people waiting to get into the theater for the ceremony.
But you don't always need random access; often you only need sequential access, in which case you can pack differently-sized values into a single buffer. However, Rust enums don't support that use case. A macro could probably do it without too much loss of ergonomics, but I'm not sure if there's a good crate for it.
NYC has a ton of street level internet kiosks and open wifi endpoints around, it’s common to have housing above store levels, and it’s common to freeload on them if you are lucky enough to be near one. That might be what your seeing, and as others have mentioned anyone using a cell phone is probably coming through a NAT gateway unless you support IPv6 on your edge.

Personally I’ve not been able to connect wirelessly to any of the street kiosks since about the second week of their existence. I still see the SSIDs advertised but I can’t negotiate a connection. I don’t know if that is because they are congested, broken, or that feature is switched off. I only have one near me but you can find them every block in some parts of Manhattan.

I'm not sure what sense you're using "the same" in. Eg a cylinder can be transformed into a mobius strip (in 3d space) by cutting and gluing, but if we allow only self-intersection, this can't be done. To me this shows that they're not "the same".

>To me, it sounds like you don't have enough passion for a phd.

I've got a PhD and I don't agree with this at all. People get PhDs for all sorts of reasons, including not knowing what else to do in life. I know a lot of PhDs and I'd say only a few had "passion" for what they were doing as grad students. And for some of those passionate people that passion was driven out of them by graduation time.
Technically yes, but not very practically. The domain is cookieless, so it would be difficult to even identify a specific user, other than by IP. Also, the JavaScript resource is delivered from the cache with a 1 year expiry, which means most times it's loaded it will be served from browser cache rather than the web.

I am not a subscriber of whatever this website is and don't want to spend $12 to read this article. (I would probably spend $0.50 to read this one article, FWIW.) Regardless, this title is really confusing... is that first comma trying to be a colon, are both of them commas trying to be semicolons, or is there supposed to be a missing conjunction between three separate topics? (As is, particularly due to the comma elision thing, it says India banned the App Store Firewall, which makes very little sense ;P.)
Correct. Open as in not resolved yet, but intended to be resolved in the future.

>> Therefore, it was no exaggeration to argue that rhetoric — a quintessentially Roman art — “had died with public liberty.”

I beg your pardon? "Quintessentially Roman"? "Rhetoric"? That is even a Greek word. Rhetoric was invented and taught by the Greeks to the world: Demosthenes, Lucurgus, Lysias, Protagoras, Gorgias, Isocrates, Antiphon, Aeschines, Andocides, Dinarchus, Hypereides, Isaeus... those were the great orators of antiquity. And they were not Romans.

Twitter isn't just one thing, it's composed of many communities of various sizes and closeness. Some communities are toxic and enjoy kicking people when they're down, others less so. We tend to recall only the extremes of these big personalities doing bad things.

People model behavior every day on Twitter. If people only see or recall others kicking people when they're down, that's what people will expect is the norm, and this will sway future behavior. If there are tools that offer alternatives, then we can alter those norms, and make change among the many people not at the extremes, swaying them toward more productive and respectful discourse.
Immigration is the ultimate get-out-of-jail-free card when it comes to deflation. Just ask the Europeans or even more so - the immigration hostile Japanese (yes, I know Abe is turning things around, this is an oversimplification).

It's amazing how it is basically impossible to influence birth rates, one way or the other, up or down. I am yet to find a convincing example of a concerted effort at increasing or suppressing birth rates by a centralised authority. Please share one if you know it, I find birth rates to be far more mysterious than any other commonly talked about "macro" rates, such as riskfree rates or various risk premiums.

China suppressed its birth rate with its one child policy.
I dont have any reference to support this, I think Thomas Sowell or someone else on one of the Hoover Institutes youtube videos, said this, Israel is the only first world country that does not rely on immigration to support population growth, so i would assume all other first world countries population growth is due to minority immigration
I believe the issue with this is that users already largely don't understand decorations in the URL. For example, the difference between a lock and an extended verification certificate bubble. Educating a user on what a bundle URL means technically may be exceedingly challenging.
The macroeconomic effects of automation
Without the company context or even the text of the memo, we’re all just guessing and projecting.

I’ve left a company before because there were no negative consequences for the people who were slacking off. When you’re putting in 150% because the other guy on your team is only putting in 50%, it gets old fast. The good people leave for more productive environments while the slackers tend to accumulate.

No one likes being on the receiving end of a memo to work harder. Ideally the CEO would have taken a more discreet, targeted approach to performance problems. However, it really is better for everyone to have the situation and goals laid out in public without sugar coating it.
folkish means racially or culturally conscious and having an affinity for your "own people".

An example would would be Israel, where jews can be with their "own".

There's pros and cons. Pros would be that its more of a long-term strategy to preserve cultural diversity, since their large pockets of peoples (ie. japan is still overwhelmingly Japanese). It also allows the children in that folkish community to be raise with their own culture. these folkish pockets also create more interesting tourism, since its distinguished from a globalized generic culture.

A con would be if you become so fixated on it that you see your folk as superior that you don't share your culture with others, don't let in outsiders, and you don't visit and enjoy other cultures. This would means instead of having a healthy appreciation for diverse culture (your's included), you just hate others. A lack of exposure to other culture means your own won't improve.
Fully agree, I think that would be the overall implication of 'we need to do better' impetus of the CEO. But "I even told them how to implement what I wanted but never heard anything further." ... every company has a million voices saying 'what they want', it's usually not possible, and if there is no process or he process was not followed for feedback, you're not necessarily going to get a response. I worked at a large corp and would get 'I want this' in some form or another every time I spoke to customers or partners, which was at least weekly, for example.
What the ISO C people are doing can be called vandalism.
No it didn't, have you ever looked at the charts? They had the "Chinese Boomers" which were naturally followed by "Chinese Millennials". And then in 2015 the policy was abandoned but the birth rate has not bulged at all.
We could increase population growth if we increase longevity and health of the population to compensate for lower birthrate, while saving money on medical expenses.
> Did you really delete your account because they want to measure whether people are being discriminated against (with an opt out available)?

Man, this comment and some similar sibling comments betray this mentality where racism is the ultimate evil and, thus, anything done in the name of fighting racism is justified.

In particular, multiple people seem to think you're not allowed to criticise Airbnb's approach to handling private data _because Airbnb purportedly is using it to somehow fight discrimination_. Nevermind that:

* There's no transparency about how this 3rd party will use the data

* There's no data on how effective their approach will be.

* The default is opt-in, not opt-out.

* Airbnb has done ethically dubious things before.

Yet, according to some comments, if you don't let Airbnb use your data, you're supporting the racists/being tone deaf.

Think of it less as an actual particle that has a speed and position at a certain time, and more that "speed", or "position" are just the results of measurements that are made.

The electron is a cloudy, blurry mess, yet if you measure its position, you'll find it is in a certain location, but that's all it means. It doesn't mean it "was there" before the measurement!

Likewise, if you measure its speed, you'll likewise get a precise speed measurement, but it doesn't mean it had that speed before the measurement! Or that it was actually speeding from any point x to a point y.

So, while the measurements work, what breaks down are the regular common sense implications that the measurements normally imply.
