It's spelled dyke as well as dike in modern english. In any case, it's an example, not the main point.

There are other words which trigger interesting misconceptions due to how parts of them are commonly used culturally. Like 'homosapien', 'Uranus', 'retard' (move backwards, sometimes seen on buses and trucks), 'period', etc.

I'm a retired software dev. Before the pandemic I hadn't coded in 4 years, but somehow got the itch. One of the things I've been playing with is pointing a security camera at my birdfeeder, but I'm not so interested in clips of boring brown sparrows. Instead I want clips of bright red cardinals and bright yellow goldfinches. So I wrote some python opencv code that reacts to color changes: https://github.com/ctrager/opencv_py/blob/master/red_yellow_...

This is working for me with an Amcrest camera, but I also got a Reolink E1 thinking it supported RTSP and felt cheated when I learned it didn't. I'll be playing with Neolink the rest of the day. Thanks.

It's a mixed bag. On one hand it's a pain when you have to switch back and forth. On the other hand it's awesome that all the state is in one, human-readable file and can easily be duplicated or pointed somewhere else, etc.

I primarily use OpenShift which fixes part of it, and with a few bash aliases the rest are pretty painless as well.

Indeed, Stripe’s rep just commented as follows:

> “Edwin from Stripe here. Holding funds is like a buffer for your balance—it makes sure there's enough money to cover any increase in refunds or disputes from customers. If there wasn't, customers may not get their money—and we only hold funds after we review a business and realize that it's at risk of this (like if disputes are growing).

Stripe doesn't gain anything or do anything with this buffer. We don't earn interest. It's reserved just for your customers. We regularly re-review the need for the reserve, then remove it at the earliest opportunity. (It's in our interest to! We hate refunds and disputes, which are expensive for us, and would rather see your cashflow to your business grow.)”

As for chargebacks, customers really win even if there are voice recordings etc? Or is it just too much hassle to go through the proof process for smaller transactions?

Somewhat randomly, that's one of my favorite movies. I'm not especially into any of the themes or anything, it's just so well done. Pacing, story, cinematography, acting, it all comes together in a really excellent way. It's worth watching (even spoiled. ;-P )
Obviously this is a personal preference. For example. I think they’re awful. I don’t think these pants are the solution though. I do appreciate the effort.
Folks on opposite sides of the pond have caricatured ideas about each other, because their impressions are based on anecdotal media representations. Compounding that is the fact that “parties” are very different things in the US system versus the parliamentary system. Parties in Europe have a lot of control over who runs under their banner. American parties do not. If the Republican Party operated like European parties, where the leadership selects candidates, the 2016 candidate would have been Jeb Bush of Marco Rubio, not Trump. But in an objective analysis, the Republican Party is solidly to the left of the SVP: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/06/26/opinion/sunda.... It’s on the right edge of the mass of European center-right parties. (I would argue that this analysis somewhat overstates how far right the Republican Party is. As the article notes: “The Republican platform does not include the same bigoted policies, and its score is pushed to the right because of its emphasis on traditional morality and a ‘national way of life.’” Americans are by far the most religious developed country. In France, arguing for the maintenance of traditional French social norms is something you can do in a secular framework. Under the analysis of this survey, that doesn’t count as right wing. But there is really no way to express that same idea in the American framework while leaving religion out of it. But in this analysis, that counts as right wing.)

I’ll add that Americans are in a different stage of the same overall trend we’re seeing in the developed world. Even right-wing platforms in France or Germany have never needed to call for adherence to traditional French or German values, because it was taken for granted. 80% of Germany is still ethnic Germans. Another 10% are other kinds of Europeans. In the United States in the United States only 60% is of European ancestry, and even among those people you’ve got a mix of British, Germans, Italians, Irish, etc. European countries aren’t really multi-cultural the way America is, so there is no need even for right wing parties to make culture an issues. French being the national language of France has overwhelming acceptance (90%+). There was never a reason for right wing parties to even bring it up. But in America, making English the national language is a right-wing talking point, because Americans don’t take it for granted.

But taking culture for granted is something that is rapidly changing in Europe. Le Pen got 30% in the last French election. Now she’s polling at 45% in a head-to-head with Macron. The dominant CDU in Germany is bleeding members to AfD. The new leader of the CDU is significantly further right than Merkel: she opposes abortion and gay marriage, and declared the 2015 acceptance of refugees as “a mistake” that they’ve “learnt from and won’t repeat.”

You could argue that it is due to Mormonism:

"Deseret was proposed as a name for the U.S. state of Utah. Brigham Young—governor of Utah Territory from 1850 to 1858 and president of the LDS Church from 1847 to 1877—favored the name as a symbol of industry. Young taught his followers that they should be productive and self-sufficient, a trait he had perceived in honeybees."[1]

Not making more decisions. The things one regrets are the things not done. Should have changed companies/jobs more often. At the start it was great being part of a company/team for a long time, after that you realize that in the end it is a job (even it it's also a passion) and it's good to be exposed to different things.

Also wished I'd taken a bigger interest in somewhat core things sooner, e.g. static-typed functional languages and distributed systems. Basically seeking out challenges rather than performing well in my comfort zone. Still exploring less technical, soft areas with unknown outcome as yet.

Most law-abiding gun owners do not end up misusing them. Aside from sensationalized media coverage, much of the gun violence in our most violent cities (Boston, Chicago, NYC, etc) would not go down with new laws, because many of the crimes are perpetrated by people who are already violating gun laws (not allowed to posses them, illegal modifications, etc).

Unfortunately, with police departments being defunded or restricted, illegal gun ownership and use will only rise over time.

Untrue (there's plenty of emergent behavior in large organizations), and ignoring that, irrelevant. An obvious trivial example is looking at the property of consistency in actions: an organization consisting of a hundred thousand people is going to be far less consistent in many sequences of actions than any given person would be.

You could have a mechanism to grant yourself temporary write access on an as-needed basis.

At Zalando everyone has read access (except to secrets). You can request write access with a command line tool another employee can then approve it. There is also an option to request access with an incident ticket, in that case you immediately get write access without approval by someone else. Write access expires after 1h.

Access to the underlying AWS account uses the same mechanism.

The cultural aspects of Mormonism are muted out of state, but even out-of-state Mormons are inextricably tied to the Utah (University, relatives, friends who moved from or to Utah).

I've hit all four quadrants of the Mormon/Non-Mormon, Utahn/Non-Utahn matrix and from my perspective, we still shared much of the Utah culture (though I never would have admitted it at the time) when I grew up in another state.
It may be that Jobs shortened his life with his rejection of mainstream treatments, but pancreatic cancer also has relatively poor prognosis even with optimal treatment. Good thing it's rare.
Although apps get unique IDs and are isolated from each other. When you use your browser it's much easier to connect the dots.

What you do want to be careful about is following links from browsers that load applications, because they are typically tagged with information that links the app to the browser (and from there to everything else).
Right, but nothing in this post indicates they experienced a high chargeback or refund volume, just a sales decrease.

I wonder if they had to refund a lot of travel that wouldn't happen in 2020... and that's what triggered it. If I had a partner pull a rug out from under me, I'd focus on replacing them, especially if their reasoning is bullshit.

If people are happy with their cargo pants, no worries . It doesn't conform to a lot of current fashion aesthetic, but if that doesn't hit a person's radar, then cool, great. But a lot of people in the thread here are feeling attacked because someone doesn't like to wear the pants they like to wear.

Fashion is aesthetic and therefore subjective, and it changes over time. At one point cargo pants might have even been "cool". I don't remember them ever being "office" though.
This is sort of off topic, but I wonder about the validity of the "carnivore diet". People will talk about Inuits and ketogenic diet and such.

I eat very little meat myself, due to health beliefs, but things like food beliefs are very difficult to scientifically defend. I know of all these "plant protein" studies and the China Study but finding cause and effect with something like diet is near impossible.

Upon reflection I have the tendency to want to be right and to feel superior because of some esoteric knowledge.
Doctors (especially disgruntled ones) have it in their minds that they'd all be at Google or a hedge fund or white shoe consultancy making bank if they hadn't become a doctor. They consider themselves underpaid because they compare themselves to the best paid jobs out there. Of course most of them probably wouldn't make it to those levels but that inconvenient truth is ignored.
Hi folks, I'm the host of Segfault, which is a podcast about computer science research. In this episode, Cornell Professor and former Facebook AI Researcher Bharath Hariharan joins me to discuss what got him into Computer Vision, how the transition to deep learning has changed the way CV research is conducted, and the still-massive gap between human perception and what machines can do.

Happy to answer any questions about the stuff we talked about, and would appreciate any feedback you might have.

The theoretical person you’re describing sounds like a nurse practitioner.
I think your response is very disingenuous in the sense that nobody owes Stripe any protection for this. Their job is to mediate the risk as a payment platform, that’s why you are outsourcing payments to them in the first place. They also market themselves as having advanced fraud detection capabilities and smart dunning capabilities totally meant to encourage customers to rely on and plan around those features.

If Stripe needs a buffer to handle increased chargebacks, that needs to come from Stripe’s own revenue, not customers.

Imagine if an insurance company suddenly started retaining 25% of benefits owed because there was some event in the world (natural disaster, pandemic) leading to a much higher rate of claims.

It’s totally bogus for anyone to say that’s fair just because reality dealt a tough hand to that insurance company. It’s fundamentally their responsibility to remain solvent and fulfill benefits without externalizing higher premiums or holds or anything onto customers.
Eh, I’m not sure about separating class from social capital. In Bourdieu’s framework (which tbf is dated), there are definitely haves and have-nots. The way different forms of social capital are valued in different contexts is one of the major ways that social hierarchies gatekeep and maintain themselves.
No. The term 'blacklist' deprecated because it contains the color 'black', it's deprecated because it uses 'black' to mean 'not allowed'. This really shouldn't be so controversial, just use words that accurately describe what you mean.

What I like most about the Swiss political system is the federal council. Seven people share the duties of the head of state and government. They each lead federal department like a ministers. The members are elected by the united federal assembly. The big parties split the seats proportional to their seats in parliament.
The role of president rotates among the members of the federal council and is limited to one year at a time. The president is just first among equals and doesn‘t have any power over the other members of the federal council.

I think this is great for the politics in Switzerland everyone from left to right is represented in the executive and you can‘t just blame the other party for the problems during their terms. This forces the parties to compromise and the opposition based on the issues and not only the party membership.
Theoretically medical schools only require two years of undergraduate before entry. But the high competition for a medical school seat means complete graduates are highly preferred to "prove" they can handle medical school.

Nailed it.
Yes. And it makes it very appealing for hospitals to just import practicing doctors from abroad on H1-B visas. It also makes those doctors very dependent on their employers due to their visa restrictions, which allows to suppress their wages and makes them even more appealing.
"They might even unravel the greatest mystery of them all: consciousness."

Don't get me wrong. Brains are interesting. Consciousness is a real puzzler. But... the mass of the known universe is estimated to be about 10^53 kg. In all that mass, there might be a few other mysteries here and there. Believing that the "greatest mystery" is between our two ears feels a tad bit egoistical.

Could someone share what one gains with such 'baremetal' ports? I see only the loss of common ground, well tested libraries and functionality.

No. I have to agree with the person who says they want a quick and easy solution. I am in a totally different area where I think people are mistaken, but if I suggest let's do the math or let's do some experiments to see the results the excuses start thick and thin.

The fact is these people are too busy doing "magical thinking" when they know they are smarter than the average person and know something that the general "sheep" do not know.

But the one thing they refuse to do is test their beliefs in such a manner that if they are wrong that they will be proved wrong. When they do show effort it is more do only the things that can prove them right, failure is not an option for them.
Meanwhile, they will use efforts like the “employment center” as a rhetorical shield, as evidence the church gives back to the community. Look, we help people get jobs!

60K a year is more like a salary for a resident. My friend made approx 60k a year for 4years of residency and one year of fellow ship and then his first job paid him 250k a year. He even had an offer for approx 400K a year from an unethical private clinic which was abusing insurance so he didn't take that job. So yes, doctors in US make a ton of money compared to here in Canada.

The way Medicare funds residencies is also odd. What they do is add a pay bump to all reimbursement for a teaching hospital.

For example, for an appendectomy, a non-teaching hospital might be reimbursed $4,500. If you’re a teaching hospital you get an extra 1.3% (too lazy to look up exact number, but it’s quite small), so $4,559. And that’s for every procedure at the hospital, whether the resident was involved or not.

Seems like a more direct, “here is $80,000 for each residency spot” would make things a bit more transparent?

If doctors gives inaccurate information, it's an important problem that needs to be discussed.

> the doctors said his treatment was curative not palliative

In the present case, it seems like it was not the case: "At the time, Sean’s doctors told him he had at least a 50% chance of long-term survival if he underwent chemotherapy", while the alternative medicines gave false information: "Sean also relied on "thermographic scans" - heat images of the body" or "I’d use words like, 'oh no it’s the Herxheimer’s reaction'".

It seems to me like we are preaching for the same thing, which is to give the correct information to the patient and let him decide.
