Firstly, let's not fall for a false dichotomy. There is likely a simple equilibrium of review and creativity that must be maintained for an optimally healthy scientific community. Obviously, the old style of numerous-journals + publish-or-perish mentality was unhealthy implementations of a scientific system.

But, I would move away from papers entirely. They hold no redeeming values over alternatives like a git repository published publicly with an "issues" forum e.g., GitHub, etc. This needs to absolutely become the new standard, and we need to get rid of papers and journals, both physically and digitally, in their entirety. They have zero redeeming factors at this point in time except to boost the ego of the published. Quality control can easily be decentralized and available to everyone using something like GitHub. We know this because that is literally what the security and trust of open-source software is predicated on: putting everything in the open.

Hopefully by that time there will be algorithms capable of applying some kind of meaning to the madness. It will be quite interesting to get a big picture view of something like 100+ years of global social media history
This is the case for every single country on Earth, and is actually still the case for most countries on Earth. Show me a country today and I'll show you a set of groups who are oppressed in that country.

However it is America that has come the farthest in overcoming racial discrimination, which is why people from around the world want to come here in droves.

Those groups are disproportionately affected because they are disproportionately living in cities, which has nothing to do with racial oppression.

The Latino population has swelled in recent decades and new immigrants to the US are almost always poorer than the general population. That's been true for the last 200 years and there's nothing wrong with that.

Yet racialists like yourself ignore this and try to claim discrimination. It's intellectually dishonest.

As for Blacks in America, the only thing that will bring them up and negate past discrimination is a improvement of their culture and focusing on the future. Most of black poverty today is caused by broken homes and other cultural issues, not oppression.

For a website about a mobile dev tool, that website is horrible on mobile. With the fixed header and footer I only see about 50% of the content, which makes scrolling a huge pain.

Note to any web dev: fixed headers are rarely a good idea.
On the contrary, both of those are documented phenomena in their respective industries. Not all racist narratives are the same. For example, a bigoted narrative of "Asians are weak" may work against that group in sports, but not in software.
Spying on users and getting ads in front of their eyeballs is also a business worth a lot of dollars. That doesn't make it important or beneficial.
They recently when through a Series D round for $75 million, but yet you believe they have half a billion in the bank? They were on their last leg begging for seed money to keep them afloat.
Investing has been simplified to the point that you buy a single low cost target retirement fund and call it a day. You don't need to know more than that. The next step is to of course replicate that target date portfolio using the individual funds, thus reducing the expense ratio. Anything beyond that is pure luck for the vast majority of investors.

>grown-ass adult investors

You really consider most early 20s to be grown-ass adults?

I sure don't.
I was thinking more things you find on the internet and then do a bit of ./autogen or mkdir build;cd build;cmake ../;make; and the like. Without a file system you really do have to write that script and manually pull in the relevant libraries, and you have to figure out what those are. No autotools will be capable of doing it automatically because no global filesystem exists.
> Or most likely can't.

I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. It might be true sometimes, but there are people who can code but get offended by such tests. I'm saying it doesn't matter if they can code or not, because getting angry about easy questions is a good reason to reject the candidate, aside from their technical skills. It's demonstrating a lack of willingness. They might be an amazing coder, but not a team player. They might be unfriendly. They might be defensive about their skills, or assuming a golden resume should exempt them from coding tests. They might not be able to code. No matter what the cause is, I have a reason to avoid hiring that person.

> What's missing from the picture is that a great communicator who isn't a chemist will never apply to a PhD program in chemistry.

While true, I'm not sure why that matters? PhD applicants do have a wide range of scores on their GREs, and you can still control for those scores and adjust, as well as being able to look at all science fields and not just chemsitry. If the correlation between outcomes and writing scores is higher than the correlation between outcomes and math/science scores, it doesn't really matter that you haven't measured people who weren't interested, does it?

BTW, googling around currently gets me a metric ton of results and studies concluding that GREs don't predict graduate school success beyond the first year. I'm not finding much on the subject tests vs math vs language, but it looks like the current consensus is that GREs are bad predictors and cause some gender/race/class bias problems.

> That's not really going to help fill technical positions.

I'm saying the successful coders are the ones who are better at communication, among the coders -- counting only coders who already have the job. And the successful grad students are the ones who are better writers, counting only grad students who are already enrolled in a science PhD. That's what I meant about controlling for the bias. Being able to communicate and write well is a major skill needed in technical positions, and the technical people who excel are the ones who are better at explaining, communicating, writing, publishing, etc.
I think one aspect missing from the discussion of whether or not Sweden has done the right thing is just how much power a government has over its citizens.

In many cases I think the consensus in Sweden is that the government doesn’t have the right to keep people at home or force people to wear masks. The current government had to push to get legislation passed that allowed them to shut down primary schools and preschools, if needed.

When this is all said and done a lot of countries are going to have evaluate what all
of this has meant for their democracies.
Sounds like an Equinox membership.

I'm in NYC and could never justify an Equinox membership, but $75-$125/mo is pretty standard if you want to join a gym with classes and not be tied to a single location.

I had a New York Sports Club membership with access to all NYC locations and classes for ~$75/mo after a discount offered by my company. Being able to go meet a friend for a class at their location or be able to pick a gym near home or work was convenient.

By that definition: does Strava and Duolingo fall into the same category as gambling?

Those are both highly gamified apps.

So maybe let's not play loose with meaning of words.

Gambling means 1 of 2:

"play games of chance for money; bet."

Investing is not a game of chance. I'm not making investing decisions randomly.

"take risky action in the hope of a desired result."

Investing could be gambling according to this definition (there are risky investment strategies) but on average investing in U.S. stock market is not risky.

If you abstain from doing risky things, you can have 8-15% yearly return by putting all your money in S&P 500 tracking stock.

And if you want to blame someone for people's risky investing, blame https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/ (1.3 million people reading stories like "$35k -> $1.25 in 4 months") not Robinhood for making an easy to use stock trading app.
Fitness is on the rise generally (or at least pre-covid), and the trend is away from gyms. It’s Barry‘s bootcamp, yoga classes, Pilates, spin, etc etc. In a covid world, the pelotons and mirrors make a lot of sense. The question is will it stick afterwards.
I don't see how that would be constructive either. If people start getting called out for ignoring emails, that's going to be a lot of noise. And for anecdotes like this, it's impossible to know why said email was ignored. Should the assumption always be bad faith like racism/sexism? What if they just weren't interested and didn't even realize the email came from a woman or POC? Should they be obligated to seek out the sex/race of the person emailing them to know if it's appropriate to ignore them?

I totally get your point that it's crappy for VCs to talk the talk and act like they want to help under-represented people, but then go back to business as usual. That sucks. And I completely believe that it is harder out there for woman and people of color. But I don't think that naming names based on anecdotes like this actually helps. I wish I had better ideas, but I really don't think this is it.

Thomas Jefferson's Ice Cream Recipe
Yes! It is happening everywhere. Any right or right of centric publication, channel, individual is ripe for targeting in the current social media landscape. There is literally zero protection or recourse. It is their platforms and they can do whatever they please. In essence, these social media companies wield influence greater than many Governments in the World. This sort of unchecked power is scary to say the least!
What? Did you just read the headline and assume? If we're gonna hold the community responsible for quality of discourse than this should be downvoted. These are just finger pointing with not support. It feels like Twitter comment with no intellectual rigor. This isnt a shot at the writer, instead a commenting on the value added to the dialouge.

This seems to be much more "squeaky wheel gets the grease" than some political ideology.

Also, this argument is ridiculous. Facebook is NOT US democracy, it's a media company that gatekeeper, like TV before it, Radio before that and townhall meetings before that. Theyve never allowed sex work or profanity on the site and there was little fanfare over that decision. These companies are the next "Type" of media and the extension of that is the power to shape acceptable culture. The real problem is that its being hearlded as both a utility (citizen communication right) and a media company (broadcast and ad network) and dodging the historically clear responsiblities of both camps by claiming to be the other when it comes time to pay the piper.

To end with a clearer analogy. Facebook is cable TV where you are the channel. Then they add commercial breaks between your rants, pictures of cats and support of some political idea. They even ask you to stump for your own "subscribers." Cleverly they've simultaneously made it a messaging product as well to dilute the metaphor above.
All easily done using Helm and kubeadm.
I uninstalled Slack's desktop "app" a long time ago and never looked back. The browser version is much better, and doesn't require me to have an extra (often buggy, in my experience) browser instance open in order to use it.

Calling it an "app" is somewhat laughable, since it's just their website packaged up in a standalone web browser, plus a minimal amount of platform-specific glue.

Hey, thanks a lot for your response! It's really hard to search for abstract ideas like this if you don't know the terminology (like Model Repository), so this is super helpful. This is a very interesting topic for me, may I ask you a few questions? I sent you a request on LinkedIn.
Still remember my ICQ number even though it got account hijacked LONG ago.
I've been regularly working out at home for over 10 years now. For me being able to work out at home is considerably more effective than having to go someplace else; that added friction of driving somewhere, getting changed, etc., just makes it far more of a hassle compared to it being part of the start of my day at home.

I do think it's important to have a decent space in your house to work out, which would certainly be an impediment to some. But in the past that space has been our living room (hardwood floors, fortunately) with the coffee table pushed up against the wall.

Having a video workout program to follow can also be very helpful for motivation and continuity. What I can't understand is what value this Mirror adds. I regularly do BeachBody workout programs, which I watch on our TV. Used to be by buying their DVD sets; now it's through their streaming app. But that's cheaper than the mirror program, with more content, and doesn't require buying a $1500 mirror up front. Everyone already has a TV, and I don't believe the portrait orientation is even really a benefit.

So yeah, I'm bullish on home workouts, but bearish on Mirror.
The Trump campaign said they used it because it's a "symbol widely used by Antifa" - which is a lie, it's not.

Nix throws sparks, but I'm still cautious about who I recommend it to and how.

I understand why there's consternation about usability (and a steady stream of requests focused on helping novices get it up and running), but I'm not sure the project(s)/ecosystem are ready for the stress of getting strapped to a growth rocket that brings in many new non-developer general-computing users who can't reasonably contribute back.

I don't mean this in an elitist RTFM way. More users of any stripe just inevitably exert support pressure in all sorts of directions. The community is perpetually iterating on tools/automation/process issues to try and stay on the right side of the wave. I sympathize with everyone who has a tough time finding their legs, but for the near term I think it is probably a net good if ergonomics issues filter out people for whom most distros are effectively fungible.
wenbin, for stats on hosting providers, when it's like podtrac, do you count both podtrac and the real host?
It's not their private capital - most VCs are investing the funds of 'limited partners' such as pension funds, university endowments, etc. So in essence VCs are gatekeepers which make decisions regarding startups who will or wil not get access to someone else's money.
>when a Mint user does an update he gets the binary directly from Canonical servers

When I update Mint binaries, I get them from one of about 30 mirrors which Mint enables me to choose. (Or it will decide for me based on speed.) Do the mirrors at Clarkson, Harvard, Purdue, UW, etc belong to Canonical? I think not. Nor does most of the code the binaries are built from.

Canonical has made its choice, Clem's made his.
Again, that's not my argument. I will continue to assume good faith one last time.

Drag is proportional to density times velocity squared

flying through air with 30% the density at 2.5 times the speed thus produces (.3)x(2.5^2) = 1.875 times the drag.

Using 1.875 times the power for 1/2.5 = 0.4 times as long requires (0.4)x(1.875) = 0.75 times as much energy.

This is before you consider that jet engines moving at higher speeds and higher altitudes are more fuel efficient.

The 737 uses turbofans which are much more efficient than the concorde's turbojets. Trying to compare their fuel consumption is meaningless unless you account for this. If you compare the concorde to a subsonic turbojet of its era, like the 727, the concorde burns significantly less fuel per passenger mile.

It sounds like the rule is formally "you can't run an account of someone else"? Coupled with the other rule that prisons set of "you can't maintain a social network account in prison", that means there's no way to have an account: https://www.themarshallproject.org/2016/04/14/should-prisone...
I think the time has come for the major big tech PLATFORMS to declare their formal political allegiances and end the travesty they are 'just providing a Section230 service'.
The EU's MEPs are organized by political views rather than party in a Burning Man style semi circle to debate the political views of the Commissioners and provide some input. In many ways the tech world could be organized in a similar way to better provide free speech and formally 'biased' platforms.

That’s for 3 of us and yes it’s sort of like a country club. Looks like a high end hotel, has towel service, quality kids supervision with their own workout classes, outdoor pool with water slides, etc.

I’m referring to LifeTime but Equinox and others target this price point. It’s very successful in my high cost of living area, and they’ve been expanding quickly. I hope they survive Covid though I’ll admittedly have my membership on hold until a vaccine arrives.

Taking the goodwill approach for Facebook's actions, they determined Stone "broke the rules". I don't personally think these actions pass the consistency "smell test" of good community governance.

That's the beautiful thing about vague policy, they can be selectively enforced. When there's pushback, well, the rules are the rules right?
Exactly. It's so blatantly political propaganda. The scary part is that "respected" outlets like NPR and others pick up the headline and run with it knowing that the link to Nazi imagery is tenuous at best.

This is pulled directly from an NPR article denouncing the triangle as a Nazi symbol:

"Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh said that some products are sold online that use the inverted red triangle in antifa imagery, though experts said it is not a commonly adopted symbol among anti-fascist activists.

"We would note that Facebook still has an inverted red triangle emoji in use, which looks exactly the same, so it's curious that they would target only this ad," Murtaugh said"

Which is a perfectly reasonable explanation that's ignored by the Democratic Party's political propagandists in the media.

Some kernels, e.g. Linux, were also made to do just (that amoung other things).

I think fixing what we have in standard kernel/userland, and leaving the containers for specialized developer/devops deployed workloads may well be where this (what will be known as the snap/flatpack saga) started from, and will end as well.
I will grant you there was a diversification in "wellness" fitness options. But I think my point still stands with yoga et al: you were still going somewhere else. I'm just quite biased people will end up working out at home.

(I actually suspect the boutique fitness stuff may come out of this better than big ol' boxes full of treadmills like Planet Fitness. It's easier to social distance and sanitized with defined class times and appointment. One of the big chain gyms here is doing just that; you set a time to go for the gym, and then you get out so they can sanitize the equipment. Which is nice, but labor-intensive. I can't imagine $15/month warehouses full of weights maintaining that. https://www.goodlifefitness.com/goodlife-standard)

If you want to change the basic requirements of the visa that would require legislation.

Most schools will end up offering some in person classes for international students. That solves the problem and isn't a major risk for spreading the virus.

Other schools might not offer that, and their international students will have the option of taking classes online from their home country or not taking classes this semester. A tough decision, but at the end of the day not many students will be in this situation.

This isn't going to be some kind of disaster, people have really overreacted to this.
