> You said your children need childcare as much as education.

Do you know anything about raising kids? Or teaching? Because childcare is a necessary component of education. Because they're kids, not mature scholars. Raising them to maturity requires a combined effort of parents and teachers.

> If you don't have the resources to provide what you believe your children need, perhaps you shouldn't have had children.

Fun fact! I didn't choose to have children! I chose to raise a child as my own, who is not related to me by blood. I know, I know, I'm such a freeloader. But we live in a world where this child is alive and needs care beyond what his parents can provide in a vacuum. Do we as a society (a) neglect the child and shunt him off into the prison system to the tune of millions of taxpayer dollars, (b) murder the child for being a useless burden, or (c) nurture the child with the goal of raising a productive (and profitable?!) member of society? I choose (c), it sounds like you prefer (a). Penny wise, pound foolish.

> If you want both parents to work full time, there's certainly an expectation that the children will need care. Why did you assume the state (read: your fellow taxpayers) would or should subsidize that?

As the sibling commenter notes, I pay my taxes. Like most people, I generally expect that public schools will be available. Like most engineers, my specialization is not early childhood education. The cool thing about living in a society is that it gives us the freedom to specialize, and we take advantage of economies of scale.

Can I puddle my own iron and forge a knife out of it? Yes, I guess, if I found a good ore deposit. It would take about a week, and the knife would be absolute garbage compared to one bought for $1 at value village, because I'm under no dilusion that I could make my own steel. Add another month if I'm not allowed to use a hammer or anvil and need to fashion those out of stone. Fuck, I forgot gloves and tongs... this is going to take a while. Self-reliance is a myth. We live in a society and I pay (a lot of) taxes to be a part of it. And yes, as the sibling commenter notes, I have built plans around this society being here tomorrow.

> You are reaping the benefits of having children without bearing all the responsibilities.

Yes, I'm reaping the benefits of... what now? Sorry, no, this child costs me time, money, energy, and flexibility, and I'm only present in his life because I love him and his biological parent.

> This situation is simply revealing the negative externalities many parents force on their neighbors.

Well over half of the the houses in my neighborhood have children. And 100% of humans had biological parents. Are 100% of us negative externalities? Even when we pay taxes?

>>Is it safe?

>It's really really to early to say yes or no, and the fact that the article tries to make a claim either way, is worrying.

This is exactly what the phase 1 trial (the result which were just released) tries to establish -

>Phase I trials were formerly referred to as “first-in-man studies” but the field generally moved to the gender-neutral language phrase "first-in-humans" in the 1990s;[5] these trials are the first stage of testing in human subjects.[6] They are designed to test the safety, side effects, best dose, and formulation method for the drug.[7] Phase I trials are not randomized, and thus are vulnerable to selection bias.[8]

Thanks! the talk is quite enlightening. So perhaps an alliance wasn't politically impossible. Wilson played with that (never knew that) and there was some Republican support. Alas. There's a good chance WW2 wouldn't have happened at all.

> if you have your private toll road you can forbid any bumper sticker you don't want on YOUR road

If this existed in reality somewhere in the US (or wherever you happen to live) are you seriously saying that you would be ok with it?! Do you really not see the necessity of having neutral infrastructure?

> CF has no private toll roads

They are largely analogous. They transport your traffic from point A to point B for a fee. Yes, competitors exist. No, you can't just go build your own any more than you can simply whip up a viable Twitter or Facebook clone in a weekend. Claiming otherwise is either to be profoundly misinformed or to advance an argument in bad faith.

> > we've come to depend on privately owned backbone

> No, you can use any other service you want.

... which is also private and subject to the same pressures due to public outrage. Disputing that we have come to depend on privately owned basic infrastructure in general because we could switch to depending on a different piece of privately owned infrastructure is to again miss the point entirely. There is not (to the best of my knowledge) a government operated CDN or network backbone which you could make use of in order to avoid such concerns.
I completely agree with you that this cannot possibly replace other measures such as masks, hygiene, and avoiding large indoor gatherings. Nor should it.

I think there is an additional confusion though. This is really an exposure notification app. If you used only this, and not traditional contact tracing, you would have to have a lot of adoption. But I think the general recommendation is to use both (1) these exposure notification applications and (2) traditional contact tracing by people trained to do it. Then you don't need as large an adoption to get utility. Traditional contact tracing can be effective, especially for people you know you contacted. But it is slow, and does not handle well the people you don't know. By combining them, there is a greater odd of notifying those who may be potentially infected. As long as you're also doing traditional contact tracing and other measures, a lower adoption rate for these applications can still be valuable.

Full disclosure, I work for the Linux Foundation. But I still believe this anyway :-).
Did we hug the server too much? I’m getting a blank screen.
This strikes me as particularly salient as to the point on privacy and security:

"The opposite is true for these tech giants. They get to decide what level of security you have on your accounts, and you have no say in the matter. If you are offered security and privacy options, it's because they decided you can have them. There is no regulation. There is no accountability. There isn't even any transparency. Do you know how secure your data is on Facebook, or in Apple's iCloud, or anywhere? You don't. No one except those companies do. Yet they're crucial to the country's national security. And they're the rare consumer product or service allowed to operate without significant government oversight."

Perhaps this hack will bring the security issue to the forefront of our U.S. legislators.
Isn't this basically a messaging app? Search doesn't really do much if the handle/profile/id isn't associated with created/pinned content.

Telegram has the search feature. People don't use it much, except to find groups that share stickers or memes.

I have to disagree. That giant frame on the bottom looks to be unremovable. We lose that whole half the screen to "HEY LOOK AT THIS". With that is a sticky top that keeps dropping down to cover what little viewing room we have.

Maybe I'm missing something but this looks like one of the worst layouts I've ever seen.
These results are literally unexpected. The consensus of all the experts in 2010 was that none of this could possibly happen in the next ten years. The way these results were arrived at are unintuitive which probably has to do with why they were so utterly unexpected. The broad effort to mine “algorithm space,” which includes many different ML agents and other things, is producing results that were not expected. This is just a fact. There is no way around this. Just accept it and move on.

It’s obvious that the surprises will keep coming. We slowly close in on the algorithms that bring the silicon to its full potential. The real question is what is at the bottom? We keep digging and with more compute and more data eventually we will find that the stuff near the bottom is important and dangerous.

The fact that gtp3 has x flaw has absolutely no logical intersection with this. It’s basically unrelated.
"Another topic is derived from things which are thought to happen but are incredible, because it would never have been thought so, if they had not happened or almost happened. And further, these things are even more likely to be true; for we only believe in that which is, or that which is probable: if then a thing is incredible and not probable, it will be true; for it is not because it is probable and credible that we think it true."

I agree, however to ensure everyone knows what is being talked about, it should be called unpriced externalities, not “subsidies”. Overloading the word like that, without indicating that is what is happening, is begging for misunderstandings.

For some buyers, yeah, No Ac and wood heat are going to be a "Nope!". But I disagree that such is going to be the case for all buyers. There are going to be some people who actually want a house with no AC and wood heat.

>Sure it can. There is a lot of nonsense on the internet, so if you feed it nonsense it just 'assumes' you're in a nonsense land.

It would have been more interesting to not just try nonsense in the sense of made up words or sentences, but obvious logical nonsense. Say, "I am now in New York, ten seconds ago I was in Dubai, am I lying?".

It's not surprising it identifies syntactical nonsense, the real interesting test is if it can abstract out errors between higher-level concepts that require actually understanding what is being said.

Say, can it give a coherent answer to the question: "Peter was alive in 2010. He is alive in 2020, was he alive in 2015?" and so on.

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Cloudflare switched to using hCaptcha a couple months ago, I think and I only just noticed that they do not offer an audio-based captcha.

However, hCaptcha integrates with Privacy Pass[0], and you can top up your tokens by solving a captcha at [1] and [2]. What you could do (and I realize this is far from ideal), is getting a sighted friend to solve a couple of captchas so you have enough tokens to last you a couple months.

Why STAR voting and not IRV?

IRV has worldwide use – probably most heavily used in Australia, but also for some elections in Ireland, India, Papua New Guinea, and the United States (elections in Maine; also some local elections in a number of states).

IRV also has a long history – Australia has been using it at the federal level for over a century now (and at the state level for even longer than that).

By contrast, STAR doesn't appear to be used anywhere of any significance. There is a movement in Oregon to get it adopted, but thus far the movement hasn't had success. According to Wikipedia, the only people using it are Multnomah County Democratic Party for internal elections.

And that's unsurprising given how new it is – it was invented in 2014. Why prefer a system which was only invented six years ago, to a system which has over a century of significant real world use?

The more I lean into using the terminal and emacs for programming, the more productive I find myself becoming. I can learn one command-line tool and apply it to so many other things by way of the pipe.

In GUI-land, this is hardly ever the case. I can't compose different software together, which is something I do all the time with the shell.

There are certainly some tools that work better as GUIs, but there are also tons and tons that really are great as terminal tools. No, this may not be a very approachable design for the average non-terminal-user, but that doesn't mean we should decry those who will find it useful. It's okay for different people to use different things.

I think I don't agree with the top-level comment in this thread that "everything should live in the terminal", and instead I believe what another response to that comment said: "everything should be exposed to the shell". Being able to compose tools is a huge productivity gain for those of us who care to do it and are used to it.

I do use a foldable keyboard when I need to write more.

But for random note capture the onscreen keyboard works well. Termux can be configured to display C M shift. It might sound cumbersome but you quickly develop a muscle memory for it. Add to that the richness of emacs+org commands and it becomes faster than, say, Evernote.
Yes. It worked out so well the last pandemic (2009 swine flu). The vaccine had no side effects in the trials (healthy people 20-55), but caused narcolepsy for children, leaving them disabled for life. This affected over 500 children in Sweden and Finland, and an unknown number across the world.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemrix

No one knows if this vaccine has similar side effects, what if it causes elevated risk of lung cancer?

Drugs are comparatively safer, given the time frame of the pandemic.

Democracy can both be not perfect and also conducive to a surveillance state.

Sadly less applicable now with the explosion in the number of PMs accompanied by the responsibilities that developers haves ceded away to them.

Early in my career (~20 yr, and obviously ymmv maybe I just had good ones) product folks knew their business, customers, market, and the capabilities of the business as well or better than anyone else in the building. They could pull off the “ceo of the product” role well. Some of them were hard driving, others had more of a mr Rogers vibe and somehow always had on a sweater and a big mug of coffee in hand, but they made sure people around them understood what was to be built, why it was to be built, and had a “player coach” feel. These days every sub-project has a PM and there just isn’t the need for the PM of old anymore.

I see a lot of problems popping up in organizations that have someone trying to be the type of PM that their coworkers don’t expect them to be.
That sounds well within the capabilities of IBM's Jeopardy bot, Watson. That was demoed 10 years ago and, while initially impressive, seemed to be mostly cheap tricks even then.
I try to follow a lot of "attachment parenting" theory. Read material on that.

I also did co-sleeping, which means I actually was able to sleep, but doctors in my country seem to be all against it since that's the current common practice. Read all of https://cosleeping.nd.edu/ .

My wife also read a lot on breastfeeding. There's a lot of science behind 'how to successfully breastfeed' and there's a huge chance all the advice your elders are going to give you is completely wrong. Read what modern science has to tell you about breastfeeding, ignore grandmas as much as possible! This stuff should be taught in schools.

The tl;dr of my manual would be like something:

- be in contact with the baby (preferably in mom's or dad's hands) as much as possible

- when they cry, give the breast first, ask questions later

Edit: learn that modern society's expectations that both parents work really sucks when there's a baby in the way. Mom going back to work when baby is 4-6m is not good for the baby. If you can financially afford to not to it, you should. If you can have one of the grandmas do the babysitting is alleviates the problem a little.

And I'm on the other side of that. Why are you focusing on the protestors acting out angrily and violently but not focusing on the abundant evidence showing police doing the same?

What was the root cause of the protests? Have the people responsible for those root causes attempted to alleviate the root cause, or attempted to heap on more of the same?

Also: those are still Americans you're talking about, whether or not you agree with them. The whole point of our government is that those in power should be held to a higher standard, so the "so be it" argument is pretty stupid. Why don't the people in power do better? And for all this heat being thrown at the local politicians, aren't they the ones with their finger most on the pulse of their constituencies? Have you considered the protestors aren't behaving as badly as they're made out to be? Logic like yours makes me sick. You probably would have been OK with crucifying Jesus... "He should have followed the law!"

Just like Google, it is also horrible for those who use more "nonstandard" configurations. I don't remember if it's CF or Google or someone else but I recall coming across sites that would block you if you have JS disabled, claiming that you're a bot, and the ban-page was the same across those sites, so it was a common "provider".

As for Portland, that appears to be an unusual use of Federal authority, but as far as I can tell, they actually do have relatively sweeping legal authority, even if it's not often exercised (see the lawfare blog for some analysis thereof) and everyone is being processed in the regular court system.
