I think this is a fair point. I’ve noticed this myself as someone who agrees with him. He’s clearly a talented writer; I wish he would wed that talent with reasoned critique instead of being a mere cathartic voice. The primacy of catharsis is a distinguishing feature of cancel culture and moderates getting their own cathartic voices risks creating a moderate counter-mob. Moderates’ strength is reason and tolerance and we should stick with those virtues even if it demands emotional strength and moral courage.
Garmin acquired FirstBeat Analytics less than two weeks ago [1]. According to DC Rainmaker, "They power the vast majority of Garmin’s fitness and outdoor training-focused algorithms" but they are also used by other manufacturers. The Garmin's Sleep Stage tracking, powered by FirstBeat Analytics [2], use higher power red LEDs at night. I wonder if OURA uses a separate technique, maybe even transmissive PPG.

I feel like at 1/3 time you'd spend most or all of it catching up on what happened in the 2/3 of the week you missed. Unless you're not on a team.
For me it was a local chippy (fish and chips shop) just outside school. Every lunch hour about 15 kids would pile in. Some of them would maybe order a chip barm, the rest would be clutching a few 10p’s from their pocket or paper round money.

Managing to pull of some frantic fireballs or dragon punches and hang in for a few games against the bigger kids would mean the kind of adrenaline rush and feeling of exhilaration that’s hard to find elsewhere.

Sometimes you’d put a pound in, and some bastard would steal one of your games to replay you. Never put a pound in.
Sometimes it's fine just to give up on a thread. Cards->table, I can't tell you what would change 'pvg's mind, because I agree with him.
Starts off promising but spends a lot of space going nowhere. Lots of inline links that go to other articles on the same blog. Reads like a self-help or pop-business book and content marketing had a baby and it was raised by a TED talk.
Also, the housing market — whether or not a house will appreciate in value — depends a lot on location, but a lot of people lack flexibility in where they can live, because of job, family, etc. You can't pick a house the same way you pick stocks, the constraints are totally different. Not to mention that houses are approximately infinitely less liquid than stocks.
Let's say you make 10 bazillion dollars per day running your store, then you pay someone else 0.0001 bazillion dollars to make 0.001 bazillion dollars in 3 years.

The math does speak for itself.
Extremely related, along with the rest of Schwitzgebel's work which is in the same vein:

How Well Do We Know Our Own Conscious Experience? The Case of Human Echolocation, Philosophical Topics, 28 (2000), 235-246 by Eric Schwitzgebel and Michael S. Gordon

Abstract:

Researchers from the 1940's through the present have found that normal, sighted people can echolocate - that is, detect properties of silent objects by attending to sound reflected from them. We argue that echolocation is a normal part of our perceptual experience and that there is something 'it is like' to echolocate. Furthermore, we argue that people are often grossly mistaken about their experience of echolocation. If so, echolocation provides a counterexample to the view that we cannot be mistaken about our own current phenomenology.

Your comment would sound silly if it said "last thing you need for good code is a debugger, I'd try to add a linter first". Or "last thing you need to maintain a good weight is a scale, I'd try to eat better first".

Neither are exclusive, and the former helps the latter if you use it well.
Even if the business survives there are bad outcomes. Creative destruction does not occur and moral hazard is increased. I agree that there is a huge benefit to society to avoid a wave of mass bankruptcies, but there are huge costs as well.

Purely from the financial side, another way of looking at this is: if bail outs were really net positive then the private sector would handle it. If the government has to handle it, it is a bail out. Governments almost always lose money on bail outs. Sometimes, like the last one, it is falsely claimed that the government made a profit. It probably lost money [1] and we still have 1.9 trillion mortgage backed securities on the fed's books that are unaccounted for in such claims.

I agree that these things are not a 100% handout, but they are most definitely a bail out.

Don't bother with elliptic curves, any stream cipher will do. We make messages indistinguishable from random with those, we might as well use them for random number generation as well.

The arc4random_buf(3) function for instance uses the Chacha20 cipher under the hood (some outdated & broken implementations may still use RC4).

What about Firefox? Is Safari's team smaller than Firefox's as well?

Looking at this page: https://webkit.org/team/ and comparing it to https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Team/whois would suggest otherwise.

Do you have numbers from elsewhere to back up that claim?

Btw, I'm not saying Google are right to power through with poorly designed APIs either, but when there is a standard in place, why Safari takes sooo long to implement it is perplexing (or perhaps just a rather obvious strategy).
The buffet line analogy doesn’t really work. Since you can’t go backwards or look too far ahead, you take the items at the beginning that are above your satisfaction threshold, not knowing whether there will be items further along that satisfy you.

You can still do that via mail voting.
A more traditional voting system would have the same problem. He'd instead just put himself at a polling location and do the same trick there.

The fact that he had to pay people to collect individual absentee ballots means this sorta fraud is very hard to scale, easy to beat with some basic education and easily identifiable. Of course a lot of this goes out the window if you're doing it to help a party and that party has zero integrity but at least if one voting individual brings up an issue it can cause a ripple effect.

Part of the problem is also that we don't seem to take absentee ballots as serious as we do when we have full vote by mail.

I don’t read that quote as “groundbreaking” applies to both terms, but rather “groundbreaking applied engineering” and “entrepreneurial” as two kinds of applied domains where the knowledge gained in a PhD is perhaps less useful than 4-6 years of work experience.

I’m not sure why you’re mocking “financial innovation” — do you think there aren’t new ways to do commerce or finance than what we have now?

Also, that post is dumb: the topology of knowledge isn’t nearly so simple — and that’s worth remembering because the places where you can create new knowledge aren’t all at some boundary which only can be reached by a vaunted PhD.

The oversimplification isn’t enlightening — it’s a self-serving justification for classism.
It reminds the index of the first element in an array in different programming languages. Some use one-based indexing, others use zero. Which causes problems (bugs) when porting the program to a language with different indexing.

Typescript allows to compile without type checking at the sacrifice of correctness. If you would have a slow computer or huge code-base, you could consider using the type checker only for tests, pre-checkin check, or CI. (Not that Typescript is slow - but as an conceptual example)

Would something similar be possible for Rust, so you still have the ability for correctness for CI and release builds, but allow for fast compilation when necessary or desired?
TIL "average" in English can also mean things that aren't "the average" (mean)¹, but I also feel like "news articles" aren't a good way to source the "correct" usage of statistics terms.

¹ This makes "average" a particularly weird "false friend" vocable, because the average recipient might well take it to mean what you think it means, but might also understand it as a very closely related, but subtly different thing.

They also get to negotiate their contracts more frequently than the public gets to vote on minimum wage increases - in practice, anyway.

The other thing I forgot to mention in my previous post - minimum wage doesn't address benefits and working conditions; though, it could affect those things if high enough (if the wages are high enough everywhere, the other things would have greater impact on where people choose to work). But, unions get to specially argue for things like breaks and better/safer equipment. Certain standards cross industries, and it makes sense to legislate those, but it makes sense for workers within their respective industries to have the ability to ask for accommodations specific to the industry/its conditions.

If I were the one paying the workers, I'd rather address their specific wants and concerns than I would the wants and needs of the working population. Of course, they (in general) would rather address neither, and it's easier for them to defeat legislation than collective bargaining.

You're the one acting like Reddit. You seem to have been personally affected by this, so I'll stop feeding this non-discussion further.

The second part of your comment, you are talking about Assam NRC which again I said is different from nationwide NRC. A Nationwide NRC based on the 2003 amendment neither has a 1971 reference not talks about grandparents. Read my comment again.
Yep, any other conclusion from the mentioned study would be suspect unless the asymmetric cost of going backwards was somehow controlled for.

Otherwise this is 100% explainable as a hoarding instinct because there is uncertainty about what else is available. Depending on a given person’s risk aversion, it’s entirely rational to take this view of the opportunity cost of passing on early choices you can’t revisit later.
That is correct. US Citizenship is not a requirement, however, I believe you do need to have a US mailing address.

Heh I get this a lot in my daily sysadmin/developer duties. When you need to turn on a knob somewhere you don't just wanna know that you have to turn it on, you want to know why you need to turn it on and follow the chain up until you get to facts you already know. But it's not always possible to get that far, there's too many layers of abstraction, the source code is not available or you just don't have the time.
Ultimately if you standardize something, people will gamify it. The point of employers finding novel ways to evaluate candidates is to win that game and beat the average. Good for them! It can't/shouldn't be otherwise (imo).

> suddenly culture A breaks down because people in power get upset and then abuse their power.

This is a great point! In power relationship, "culture A" is often one-sided. The boss says whatever he wants, and he boasts about an environment of openness or whatever. But the employees know that if they tried the same, they would get fired. So this only adds an insult to injury, not only you have to endure the manners of your boss, you also have to pretend that everything is okay and symmetric, when it obviously is not.

(When your boss insists that there is no hierarchy and everyone can freely speak their mind, this is your last warning to shut up. Hint: In genuinely safe environments, you usually don't need to remind people regularly that the environment is safe; they already know, based on their previous experience and observations. So if the boss doth protest too much...)

On the other hand, I believe it is perfectly safe to talk back to Linus Torvalds. In this case, the "culture A" really is symmetric. Ironically, the reason he is attacked is because it is safe to attack him. (If you need to publicly provide an example of toxic behavior, it is safer to name Linus than someone who could actually punish you for doing so.)

In real, I suppose almost no one would be a "culture A" or "culture B" absolutist. When Bob says something to James and James starts crying... most people would ask what exactly Bob said, and decide accordingly.

I suspect people usually want context-less rules if they plan to abuse them. If you enjoy bullying people, you have an incentive to promote "culture A"; if you enjoy playing victim and blackmailing emotionallly, you have an incentive to promote "culture A". Otherwise, you will probably agree that some things are okay and some are not okay, even if we wouldn't agree on where exactly the line is.
