>...The US is largely socialism and profits for the corporations and free market absolutism and costs for the working poor.

These kinds of statements don't really add much to the debate - they sound like political slogans. To add to some light instead of just heat to the discussion, it is better to explain what you are saying. How are you defining poor? What tax rate do you think this group should pay? What tax rate do you think corporations should pay? How does that compare with other countries? etc.

(I don't mean to single out this particular posting, as I have seen political slogans used throughout this thread.)
Guess they didn't do it right here…
They are the primary reason to use Zulip. In this way, Zulip is more of a Teams competitor than it is a Slack competitor.

I, frankly, cannot stand threads. I want a chat room, not a realtime forum. I understand why people would like that, but it still bothers the shit out of me.

I work for MS so we have to use Teams, but I'd prefer opt-in to threads vs. threads by default. I fully understand and accept that my way isn't going to be the way for everyone, but when looking for a community chat option for friends, we uninstalled zulip in less than a day and ended up going with matrix. That didn't work super well for us at the time so we went with Mattermost, which much closer aligns to our chat preferences.

The good news is there are tons of options for people to choose what fits best for them! That's super exciting!
Trying to turn vscode into an IDE is awful in my opinion. You have to use a lot of third-party extensions that not so rarely goes unmaintained or are security issues waiting to happen. It's the same agony I get from languages without a solid stdlib. And if you're really going to use MS tools you're better of with vscodium or whatever people are using these days that remove the "extra" features.
The sad thing is - this reads incredibly fake because of lack of typos.

I think the problem is that, if this changing the shape of the lens (as in https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/these-smart-glasse...) it means relatively soft surfaces, which means they’re easily scratched.

If it doesn’t, what does it involve? Dynamically adjustable gratings inside the lens? Varying the refractive index of the material? Is that possible? Without chromatic aberration?

Like getting out every single new Java version since Java 6, adding AOT support (which Sun was completly against it was JIT or the highway), integrating GCs able to handle TB sized heaps in ms, adding value types and improving the generics story without doing Python 3 with 25 years old JARs, fibers, replacing JNI, bringing the metacircular JVM MaximeVM into production, long term roadmap to make Hotstop a mostly Java implementation, adding vector instructions in collaboration with Linaro and Intel,...

Yeah, considering that only IBM did an acquisition offer that was quickly withdrawn, Oracle is being really nasty for Java, even Microsoft now contributes to OpenJDK.
Thanks! If this is what was referred to, linking the tweets adds a lot of information compared to just the comment I replied to on its own.
I had a radio show in college (low power station, small college town) and a friend of a friend told me that, when he listened to the show while delivering pizza, he'd sprint to and from the customer's door so he could get as much of the show as possible. This was about the highest praise I could think of.
Well it was secure when released with support for XP and Vista business.
Honestly, it isn't awfully surprising. Bitcoin is seen by many as a get rich quick scheme on the same level as penny stocks or OTM options expiring this Friday. It doesn't surprise me that those people are holding bitcoin (in a misguided attempt to double their money) and are ignorant enough to fall for something like this (in a misguided attempt to double their money).
Twitter employees were duped by social engineering. Hacker gained access to their credentials, used them to get access to internal Twitter tools that allowed them to takeover Accounts. Not very sophisticated but still alarming that random Twitter employees have access to this kind of tool and don't have better internal account security.
Not sure if they did or not. But when this scam was around on Runescape that was generally the way it worked.
Interesting, had never thought from that angle, especially since Russia and China for most part seem chummy.

But in reality, they are neighbors and China has (or is in the process of) replacing Russia as the #2 power. So, while US has a lot to be careful for, it does indeed make sense that Russia has a more immediate threat.

If China becomes more powerful, it will start flexing muscle as the Russia-China border also, just like it flexes its muscle at its every other border.

Now, if we add that to the whole conspiracy theory about Trump and Russia, then things will start to add up even more.

Interesting...
No. You see a lot of stuff that's retweeted or replied to from people you don't follow. Seems odd to have an irate opinion of someone's use of a social media platform that you are not familiar with.
You'd be surprised. The SEC has largely been captured by the industry it regulates. Most employees there are junior level, looking to get hired into Wall Street.

There are certainly some strong employees as well, but they have only so much time.
Doesn’t Microsoft, as well as almost all other large software companies, still do almost the same thing by having a fixed distribution of ratings that needs to be met under some organizational unit? IE under each director of 100 people you have 5 A+, 25 A, 30 B, 30 C, 5 D, 5F?
I was aware of NPR's offerings but not of the others. That tells you something to start with, those offerings aren't being made a centre piece. The Atlantic has them buried in a sidebar halfway down their page under a list of authors. They also seem to be fairly infrequent and listening to them briefly they are a turn off due to their over-production. They're also short, 30 min. Why would I want to wait 3 weeks for a 30 minute radio show? Pass. NPR has more on offer, they are listed as a menu item at the top of their site, they are more frequent, unfortunately they're still overdone which is why I don't follow them. The NYT daily is actually a pleasant surprise, they feature it a bit more prominently on their site, I'm listening to one right now and it's a straight up interview which is great, daily releases make up for the shorter run length so I'll try this one out.

I think my argument still stands, newspapers are still in the print business. Doing a quick search of other papers seems to show a trend of having a podcast as an afterthought and/or treating it as a way to deliver radio content. Putting a radio show on the internet doesn't make it a podcast. Give me a discussion, a long form interview, something real. I don't want cuts, voiceovers, musical interludes, or scripts. I'm coming down hard on the production quality because it's a sure sign that something has been editorialized to death, generally by a committee of people with competing interests and vanities. Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Definitely. If dynamic prescription support adds $10 to the bill of materials vs. fixed, order ahead of time prescription support - then it ain't shipping. Patent is exciting, but making a popular consumer product isn't about cramming every patent into it.

I've been playing with Rust myself in my free time, and if you use Rust with the standard library a stripped executable should be smaller and more comparable to C than what you're seeing with the standard library included.

Wow! This extension is amazing!

A while back I thought I had read something that indicated that merit based recognition was often a point of contention.

But random rewards, that were acknowledged to be random actually raised morale across the board, even among those who didn't get it.

The 'reasons' and so forth are often a big deal to people.
Stupid questions: Did the attacks involve a duped Twitter employee changing high-value account emails? Without a second person reviewing? And wouldn't PCI have something against that?
I disagree, but that is okay.
Not sure if we can conclude what it actually does, but there's a difference between 'heavily personalized' and 'placing people into defined common defined categories with clear boundaries and content' in terms of societal impact

I don't get all the hate here. Here's a charming guy making a fun video about an impractical robot to cut hair and showing how you can make a fairly complicated thing in a home shop that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago.

And people are disliking him because he's funny, good-looking, smart, and educational. C'mon. Don't be jealous of him.
The president says a lot of things that are untrue.
That's because for a lot of people they just want to stop hearing about politics and go back to a status quo for them where they can ignore the growing disaster that's consuming the younger generations.

There's a massive, massive class divide between generations and ultimately this pandemic is going to explode it even further. We're still in the fingers-in-our-ear phase.

I get that, and I disagree. I think the discussion about food should happen first.

The food you eat affects your chemical balance, and therefore your ability to process information when you are making a decision or analyzing a situation by overloading your circuits.

You can actually try this by eating a bunch of sugar and carbs for a few days, and then going without carbs or sugar for a few days. I guarantee your ability to process information will change, and your personality probably will change as well. If you have a spouse or roommate, ask them if they notice - I'll bet they will.

My point is about causality. We are basically (no pun intended) a big bag of chemicals, and those chemicals are used by our brain to do its work. Simply having the wrong level of salt in your body (not just NaCl, but any salts) can significantly affect your brain.

I just looked up the word because I couldn't remember it, but Hyponatremia is caused by not enough salt in the body and can make your brain physically swell. Think about that for a moment - just one chemical can make your brain change in size - imagine what the effects are from all foods you take in.

So to me, psychiatry has it wrong. It's like a mechanic trying to diagnose why your engine doesn't work when you put molasses in the gas tank, or why a heart surgeon talking to a 500 pound obese person and without discussing their eating habits. Why should the brain be any different?

--------

EDIT - Check out this page at the Mayo Clinic [0]. They list some of the symptoms of hyponatremia, which include, * "Confusion, Loss of energy, drowsiness and fatigue, Restlessness and irritability "*

A deep and fuzzy dive into search
I've found PRP to be a godsend when you're expected to give "feedback". PRP is praise-reprimand-praise: so construct your comment where your negative feedback is sandwiched between two positive feedback items. People respond well to it.
You don't even have to trade the stock you attack publicly. You could trade a highly correlated stock. Maybe you wouldn't make quite as much, but you would be much harder to find.
You may not even need the app. Zulip on Android Firefox is a better experience for me than the app, personally. (Tho the web version was, oddly, severely laggy in mobile Chrome the one time I tried it, some time ago...)
Twitter Hack: Major Celebrities Accounts Used for Bitcoin Scam
Yeh then advertise it as a tool rather than AI. The problem is that sorkle is trying to sell snake oil on the name of Stanford and AI. Under the hood it is just a data generation pipeline. Remember you can't put label on random data. So "Not data generation. Label generation" is totally does not make any sense and sound to me like "brown sugar".
This incident brings to mind the time in 2017 when President Trump sent out three tweets, the first one starting with "After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States Government will not accept..." and then a 9 minute gap before the second one, leaving the people around the world speculating. Did the president just start a war on Twitter? No, he had asked the military to enact a transgender ban.

I'd love to be a part of that postmortem, and perhaps a new compliance standard could be formed if root cause turns out to be a technical shortcoming.
how is it bad that a rich white & powerful ML engineer left twitter because he is trying to defend a racist systemic problem. just improves twitter in my opinion.
> China is looked down for its draconian surveillance. However US is just another side of the same coin.

This is not the case - almost all major countries have surveillance agencies. It’s not the fact that China has surveilance that is looked down upon, it’s the lack of checks and balances. Most democratic countries have surveillance to ensure national security interests and they have strict checks and balances to minimize abuse and ensure that intel is used only for national security reasons.

China’s surveillance has no such checks and balances and does little to prevent abuse and that is worth criticizing. Perhaps this may change someday but the current party does not seem to be heading in that direction.
> The SEC has largely been captured by the industry it regulates.

An objection that, while true, doesn't impact "will they go after Bitcoin scammers" much. If anything, it's precisely the sort of thing they'd prefer to do over fighting with industry.
Aside from Javascript: Racket, Guile, Raku, and Ruby all have JIT in the main implementation these days. Even PHP has moved towards JIT compilation.
One cannot overstate this and human capability to optimize for metrics ( and what is apparently rewarded ). Anecdote time. My former manager had an idea to measure the amount of average alerts per hour and tore into people, whose values fell below a certain treshold. What did people do? They stopped doing harder alerts whenever they could and did 'easy ones' to pump up their stats. I have seen it since and whenever I do, I have a quick talk about people not being idiots and importance of metrics not being used for evaluation ( or if you do, to be ready for its consequences ). In case you are wondering, former's managers response was to double down and hide the stats so that people don't know where they stand.. eh.

> "In reality you'd be one of thousands of people holding HTZ calls or TSLA puts in your Robinhood account."

Yes, but of those people, a lot of them probably have a history of buying TSLA puts because they are generally bearish on the stock. Or a history of buying calls on HTZ. And they've lost a lot of money in the past over this, because TSLA keeps going up and HTZ keeps going down.

In other words, I can look at all buyers of HTZ and TSLA stocks and most likely eliminate those with histories of buying puts or calls on these stocks.

So now I have a smaller pool of people who suddenly bought HTZ or TSLA puts/calls. Of those, I can probably eliminate anyone with small positions. This isn't worth risking for a profit of a few thousand dollars. Sure I can get a few friends together to invest from their accounts, but the more people i involve, the more i risk. Plus, i can't just do family members or friends who live nearby (unless i'm in a major city), because it'll look strange if a group of people who are related or live close to each other are running the same trades at the same time.

So now they have whittled it down quite a bit. So i bring in the FBI and I start investigating my much smaller list and I target it towards people with computer savviness. It's can probably eliminate accountants and many others who most likely don't have skills to hack twitter. So it's a smaller group of people and the chances of getting caught are no longer so small (not to say it's impossible to get away with it though).
> The Communists took a siesta for two hours every afternoon which was a good deal for us as we were free from torture and harassment. I was laying on the floor on my bed board and Doug was skipping, yes, skipping around the room.

My mental state also reacts to stress with unreasonable cheerfulness, at times. It has something to do with the joy of all the new problems and opportunities paired with an appreciation/confidence that I am not going to die imminently (he was put in a cell where they kept long-term prisoners), in the face of it...a type of relief. Having survived multiple events where my survival was in serious question, I am a consummate pessimist with an expectation that I can die at any time. Therein lies a freedom.

Skip if you can. Live. I get it.
If you want to take the trouble to sort people into lists, I reccomend https://github.com/KrauseFx/twitter-unfollow It unfollows everybody you're currently following but moves them onto a list called "Old Follows". You can then move them onto specific lists.

The nice thing is that you can look at a list and it will be in chronological order. No "Top view".

I also paid for Tweetbot because it has one killer feature: you can filter retweets. That cuts down on the echo chamber.
I had similar results following similar practices. I distinguish between stuff I want the algorithm to recommend and stuff that I only want to consume "on-demand" (that is when ever I search for it).

The second category covers topics with lots of content so It would overwhelm the other interests.

YouTube some times asks me how do I feel about my recommendations and some times all of them are interesting. But I can't watch them all (maybe I should add them to watch later, to tell the algorithm that I care)

The turning point was when they allowed us to tell the algorithm which videos were not relevant.
It's insane to me just how much of the news content is taken directly from Twitter while newsrooms and investigative journalism is systematically defunded. How can this be reversed?
The population and future population events (pandemics, wars, control policies) are something I've wondered a lot about. I wonder if things will happen slowly enough that a sufficient portion of the population will voluntarily say "I don't want to bring a kid into this world" or if controls will be necessary. Of course with the economy being consumption driven, we will have a massive problem either way.
What this means is that TSMC stops producing Huawei designed chips. Huawei has to buy third party designed and manufactured chips, most likely MediaTek. Manufactured in TSMC factories but not Huawei designed or Huawei owned IP.
This is the most well-intended (I hope, assuming no ill intent on your part) but dangerous message I've read today.

What you are really saying here that public officials should only be allowed to publish on approved enterprise communications systems that has the budget to pay for compliance certifications.

I think Facebook and Twitter would love this kind of regulatory capture because it would cement their position, hindering startups from taking over in their space (which, we know, is prone to being out-innovated every 5 years or so).

Having worked professionally in information security for a while now, let me tell you these kinds of certificates mean very little for actual security.
The point of UBI is to remove non-private charity support. How will politicians react when people are dying in the streets? The US is not about persons responsiblity.
The North Vietnamese would often transport military supplies on livestock, by bicycle, and in unmarked vehicles. In any case, it doesn't excuse their repeated torture and murder of PoWs.

Oh brother, got another shill over here.
The painful realization about social media and most forms of media is that, at the end of the day, even the people you like, the people you agree with, have very little in common with you and far more in common with those they vocally disagree with, generally.

I'm generally politically very left and I listen to a show which I won't name here but is also relatively left. At some point, I realized the income the hosts make puts them squarely in the same economic bracket as many of the people that they are often calling greedy or unprincipled. From that realization stemmed the next, that these people, even if they started with perfect intention and perfect action, necessarily must be subverted towards entertainers over informers by the design of the platforms they use to spread their message.
