It wasn't better because verified accounts were locked out; it was better because accounts with large amounts of social capital were locked out. It temporarily reset a social network to a more egalitarian state, before the winner-take-all feedback loops take hold. But left to its own devices, even if those accounts (and their owners) were locked out entirely, the same dynamics would re-assert themselves and new dominating accounts would emerge, absent some ongoing active effort to break the feedback loops that create them.

We're already running separate US/EU points of presence on AWS.

The trouble is that as a small business we can't afford to have two separate operations teams for the US instance vs. the EU instance. We're all based in North America too and it is not practical for us to hire a whole separate devops team for Europe.

Our US based engineers could in theory be compelled to hand over the data stored at rest in the EU. They could also in theory see PII like names or email addresses in the course of administering the application on their laptops in the US which counts as data export, so would still need Privacy Shield or now SCC to allow engineers to do their everyday work keeping the product up and working.
The captive bit isn't entirely true, as the language has had Objective-C for competition.

I suspect that instead of an enthusiasm gap the greater negative impact on FOSS libraries comes from the Apple-platform dev community being strongly oriented around making consumer-focused programs for money.

Yeah, that's what I'm wondering. I hope they're able to avoid the same outcome of Medium. I think the paid feature and the email-first feature change the dynamics a little bit. The similar brand matters less when all your subscribers are just getting your posts via email, and the subscribe/pay features can serve as signals to show which Substacks are worth paying more attention to.

We'll see!
Wait, so an outlet which is openly at odds with the current administration performed an investigation into claims made by the current administration, found the claims to be false, and we're just going to take the conclusion at face value? Nevermind the fact that this was conducted by journalists (i.e. non specialists who have a propensity for misreporting technical information).

Conspiracy theory...what a convenient dismissal of a potentially genuine problem. All of our institutions are rife with abuse but we're supposed to believe voter fraud doesn't exist because WAPO says it doesn't and, more importantly, because Trump said it does...

Have you used the Python interop? I went looking to try it a few months ago and it was MIA as far as I could tell. It seems to be exclusively baked into Tensorflow's fork of the compiler. I would love a pointer if I missed something!
The economic data (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CPILFESL#0 ) is showing deflation. The quantitative easing has so far been deflationary. The Fed can lower interest rates, but it cannot make people spend. People are unemployed and scared, they are not borrowing money, and it shows in the lending data as well (https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h8/current/default.h...) where we can see falling numbers in consumer loans and credit cards.

I think people have rushed into stocks because they think that that's the safe haven for their money against inflation as they think the Fed is "printing money" and causing inflation, but the data is showing deflation. If deflation continues, bonds would be the safer place to be.

I know these types, and they're extremely frustrating. Swift is superior to Objective-C in just about every way a modern programmer could want.
paying taxes on illicit activities = relying on admitting the illicit activities either directly on the tax form or in an audit = FAIL

not paying taxes on illicit activities = tax evasion and likely discovery of illicit activity in criminal investigation = FAIL

money laundering = illegal if the government has determined the source is illicit = FAIL

those are the options and deterrents.

if you money launder with proper obfuscation, you wind up with money that you do pay taxes on and will never trigger an investigation.
How is "distress" not the correct term? It is defined as extreme anxiety, sorrow, or pain which can be caused by any of the factors you described as well as many more you are not even aware of. It is an emotional state that is perceived on the part of the person suffering rather than observers outside of them regardless of the actual physical realities involved.

The term "chemical imbalance" can describe anything from acid reflux to genetic neurological pathologies or even snake bites and can certainly put people "in distress".

The problem is people aren't interested in using correct definitions for anything anymore.
We would all probably be better off if we prepped a little bit for 'everyday' or 'common' emergency situation such ad adverse weathers, with the government prepping for outside-the-norm emergencies.

Also, prepping channels seems to be a bit obsessed with things as opposed to skills.

As far as I can tell, there isn't a clear consensus on the precise causes underlying depression. It's challenging to treat causes when you lack a mechanistic understanding. So, yes, they've developed treatment protocols that use the tools they have available that sometimes work.

I don't think anybody considers this ideal, but many consider it preferable to no ability to treat at all. A world in which a deeper understanding of fundamentals enabled full treatment would be best for everyone.

It's not like nobody is trying! But setting a bone doesn't require a deep understanding of how bone knitting happens, and therefore comes well before.

There are lots of good use cases for deserializing untrusted data -- it's what you do in almost any client-server situation. So the fact you can't do this with pickle really is an important limitation.
That seems good, as then we can set a date when fossil fueled power plans should be banned and only renewable sources will be allowed.

I recommend 2030.

Agree, a lot of people focus on Rust and memory safety vs C/C++, but the lack (nearly) of undefined behavior is at least as important/helpful.

This is either very specific and thus not all that applicable to biological systems (that is, the current state is typically much much much more dominant a determinant of future time evolution in biological systems than in machines) or so general as to characterize literally any physical phenomenon whatsoever, and thus hardly useful to think about how biological systems work specifically. Indeed, one element emphasized by Deacon is that the notion of "current state" is ambiguous or at least non-trivial for biological systems and exists for machines only because they represent a major simplification of the relations characterized by your metaphor.

Machines are in some sense constituted by an enormous, intentional, simplification of the possible dynamics of a clump of matter and its relations to the outside world. Their design is profoundly impacted by both our own cognitive limitations and the contexts in which they are manufactured and used. Biological systems simply don't have these constraints and they operate in what are often totally different ways from machines.

My point is that there is considerable scientific and philosophical scholarship on this issue which casts this metaphor into doubt at least with regard to base utility.

I'm glad to read that, I just hope it is enough information for everyone reading this to be able to independently corroborate, without any further knowledge of my credentials.
great!

Paradoxically, I do need to start using twitter to market my game, but I dread spending time on that site.

I'll probably try to only go there once a week. Social media is weird.
No, I think you are thinking of systems like the stacked rank system they used at Microsoft.
I think it's fair to say that:

The specific claim was that barack obama for certain would light ballots on fire. Accusing a specific individual in the public sphere of definitely intending to commit a crime sounds like it matches the legal definition of libel to me.
"Professionally outraged" is the best term I've heard for most of the blue check accounts.

Twitter doesn't need to be (and at one time was not) as toxic as it is. People just learnt to be that way to get traffic to their book or whatever.
Right now I'm working on a large Monte Carlo project where I need to export the result of every simulation. Inserting into a database takes longer than just pickling the result.
I've been on twitter almost as long as its been around. I remember when I first got a blue checkmark after I tied my phone number to my account. At some point a few years back, that checkmark was removed. There was some rumors that accounts following certain controversial people had their checkmark removed.
When I did my ham radio test they had me show the camera around the room, desk, wall, ceiling, floor, anything that was easy to glance at. Or better just use my cell phone as a second camera looking at me from the back left.

I do find it funny that people get mad about this "invasion of privacy" except this is exactly what a live in person proctor is looking for.

I keep hearing this. How is it that in practice I can get my desktop to do anything I want, but I can't get my phone to do anything I want?
> How does any sane, professional person even use Twitter?

Follow people in your chosen field who tweet mostly/exclusively about a domain you want to stay up to date on. Lists are also good for this.
Delete the tweets after the issue is resolved. No real need to leave those type of things on Twitter. Also, search is time limited on Twitter, but I cannot remember the exact limit.
There is a difference between sharing information (where you control what is shared) and letting the other party have all the information and look at it by their own.
The fact that EU shares intelligence with US is less of a problem as long as EU citizens have a somewhat confidence in their government and security services.
It is a big difference from letting US process all private information about the EU citizens and by that enable US to rummage around as they wish without having to obey laws or regulations in EU.
> if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted

The myth/ideal of being "fully human" is an example of essentialism, and is one the techniques that authors like Huxley and many from his era employed. It preys upon the inner authoritarian desire to normalize the world for oneself above all else, even though ironically Huxley opposed authoritarianism himself.

A different take is that people's mental health as individuals is in a constant tug of war with their own circumstances, which are then in their own tug of war with the collective stresses of society. There is no normal/abnormal spectrum as Huxley would have us think. Just a complicated web of complicated agents, sometimes in harmony with their society and other times not. When the net entropy to the agent is relatively low, that's "normal". It's not a value judgement or a mark of inauthenticity the way Huxley might have you think.
the question is though, do you get anything out of it by reading all that stuff. And I mean actually getting something out of it other than just the feeling you've read something useful?

It's not like anyone actually becomes an academic by following academic conversation on twitter, or as if one learns science or maths by reading "mathy" threads on twitter.

I think like news even "high-brow" twitter conversations are essentially just infotainment. You can read news for four hours a day and you feel informed, but often you can just drop 90% of it and you don't lose any actual in-depth knowledge.
Pretty innovative first release that has major potential longer term as the product gets refined with possible industry disruption factor. Kudos to the creator!
There are two (related) problems that I've experienced here.

1. Most of what we make (in software) is invisible to the user. So when they see a shiny GUI they think that's it, they don't see the 10 million SLOC underneath it making everything work across dozens or hundreds of servers of all kinds. If you make a change that makes the whole thing more stable or slightly faster, but doesn't impact the presentation, they think you've done nothing but remove, their conception of, a sleep(1000) from the code somewhere.

2. Our code is, hopefully not the entirety of, our design but also our implementation. As we add things we have to change the design because of a realization ("Oh! This is redundant, I could collapse this into a common class or template and then specialize for these 4 cases, I've just removed 40k lines of code and made maintenance a crap ton easier!") or a change in requirements ("The customer needs us to store phone numbers and send reminder calls based on appointments, how do we want to do that?"). In other engineering disciplines you (generally) spend a lot more time on the design before you get to the implementation. You don't build half a bridge while finishing the design for the other half. But our software does seem to come out in that fashion because requirements aren't fixed, or it's hard to delineate between prototype and final product.

These things, combined, account for most of the issues I've had trying to explain schedules and delays to people, or why we had to scrap 10k lines of code ("You wasted three months writing that!").

25% of folks in NYC, the largest rental market in the US, haven't made rent payments since March. NYC has put a hold on evictions, but their owed rent is still building up. The majority of Americans weren't able to cover an unexpected $500 expense before the pandemic hit. The full depth of how bad this is going to get hasn't hit most people nor has it hit the markets.

Shoelace author here.

Last night I released Shoelace 2.0, an open source library of common UI components.

These components work with any framework, can be loaded via CDN, are fully customizable with CSS (no preprocessor required), and install easily with a simple script + stylesheet. They were built with Stencil.js, which is a fantastic tool. The end result compiles down to vanilla web components.

Each component was designed from scratch to be lean, customizable, and easy to use. Accessibility is a common question folks have about component libraries. I’m definitely not an expert here, but I've spent a lot of time trying to get it right. I would like to echo the experts and say that accessibility only starts with components, but hopefully having a good foundation to build on will encourage others to think about it more at higher levels.

I hope you'll take a second to check it out! I'm happy to answer any questions you have about the project, how it's built, etc.
Thanks for the answer Andre. We actually have the same name, and I too lived in London haha.

Could you explain what do you mean by Modem? Modulation/demodulation? I know analog encryption doesn't exist, except scrambling. I am trying to achieve this for VoIP. There are so many apps that encrypt their calls, there must be some easy way of doing this.

The longer it was left, the harder the change would have been as by the time you had to drop them, the relationship was considered unsalvageable by all parties. I think your boss should have taken more ownership earlier. Turning it around probably wasn't going to happen because it would have been a 180 renegotiation of how you related.

To be fair, the customer also seemed to hustle you with a variation of "if you're a good guy, do me this small favour?" followed up with, "why won't you do me this next favour, I thought you were a good guy, now I'm unhappy..." and then leveraged the sunk cost you already put into the project to add incremental scope.

The conversations I have begin with things like, "let's decide on outcomes and we'll get you there." Full stop. This is before you start working, because if you start working without an agreed outcome, your project is not delivering professional service value, it's being their employee. You're doing the favour. I get Agile is iterative with constant customer feedback, and this customer wanted a waterfall commitment process, but the job of your boss (imo) was to bridge those needs.

It's great when a customer is happy, but that's the effect of providing value and solving their problems, happiness itself is not the job. I wouldn't worry about shouting matches, they're just a front. It's never the biggest dog that barks. Personally, I'm immediately suspicious of people who act unhappy because they only act that way because they think it works. So there wasn't a tactical change that would have made this relationship different, but there is a different way to relate in general that will ensure it doesn't happen again.
> This is part of why I object to the "homeless people are all junkies and crazies" meme: it actively helps make vulnerable people crazy. It actively blames them for things they don't control and denies the existence of systemic issues to the faces of the victims who have such a low social status and are so openly disrespected that they aren't in a good position to argue with it. They are expected to kowtow and agree with everyone hanging their crap on them.

Agree with your insights. To further this point, people who would be deemed to be suffering from schizophrenia in our culture often have worse outcomes than people with similar symptoms in cultures that accept and integrate their different experiences.

There's research done on this topic, and this article touches upon some of it[1]:

> Stanford anthropologist Tanya Luhrmann found that voice-hearing experiences of people with serious psychotic disorders are shaped by local culture – in the United States, the voices are harsh and threatening; in Africa and India, they are more benign and playful. This may have clinical implications for how to treat people with schizophrenia, she suggests.

"the press" does not mean all news organizations and does not mean news organizations of a particular type.

It's interesting to see people talk about the necessity of the press as it currently exists to the continuing success of the nation as a whole. While I agree that a free press is needed, I'm not certain it has to be this model.

Further, it seems to me that the press that you and others believe we cannot function without is really a method for disseminating a centralized ideology and set of beliefs that, true or not, allow the majority of the country to continue in a unified direction. I don't believe that is necessary for the nation to continue, but I could be wrong there.
I'm planning on deleting the contents of my profiles across Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit and Instagram and suspending future posts on August 1st. (I tend to pin things to dates like that.)

The Twitter fiasco has me thinking I should move that date up, honestly. My DMs aren't TMZ fodder but I'd still be embarrassed if they were leaked and ended up on some dark web dump somewhere, and that is now a nonzero possibility.

Staying on social media these days is becoming a liability, even if you lock down your profile completely and stay private. For me, it's no longer worth it.
Well I know asparagus is on the list of high FODMAP (fermentable) foods along with beans and flour, which also cause similar problems for me.
"proposal to replace police with unarmed civilians during traffic stops"

I can't imagine there are many people who want to sign up for this duty. I've known former police officers and they tell me traffic stops are some of the most stressful encounters they have on a regular basis. Who, without training and a firearm, would want to take this job?

Would reckless drivers even care to stop for non-law enforcement?
