Yep. I had mine at like 30m and then 120m block and so if I accidentally loaded it like you said I would be like "oh crap this is my chance!" and load every single story I could into tabs before it would block me. Mobile is a great example but also when Chrome has a tab but it isn't loaded in memory anymore.

It did work, but it had some counter intuitive failures too.

> Private universities should of course be free to do as they wish in this regard, because who do you think you are; mind your own businesses.

Thanks for the chuckle.

> Unwinding this debacle will involve dealing with the entire university's staff, who will be dead set against it, and who will have contracts that are in place to protect them. The legislators who do so will face extensive public criticism from these highly paid, highly motivated people, who wish to protect their pay. Good luck with that!

I reject the framing that this system is promoted or even protected by university staff. It is of course in their interests to keep it largely intact but the true system facilitators have been in place for centuries perhaps with different names and agendas.

One thing that has been discussed here is removing government backed loans. Doing so would perhaps reduce overall population exposure to higher education. I think the trend of expanding costs of education will continue without government help via positive feedback loop from parental investment and other society wide changes happening today.

So in essence university value is being justified each day without a thought of future consequences. To that end the government may act for increasing government sponsorship loan forgiveness where you work off your loans at a discount rather than a dead stop bailout of loans that may never be repaid in a lifetime. The government could probably make a variety of optional part time/full time 'loan forgiveness' programs for the public good. Unfortunately assigning the public good would probably be too hard to decipher in a bipartisan manner.
I've just deleted my reddit account because I found none of the communities I am interested in bearable anymore. But somehow Facebook keeps being the main source of interesting information for me.

I've unsubbed from most people and keep my friend list extremely slim (less than 200 people over ~10y of usage, with extensive pruning). Its basically a news aggregator for me, and additionally a way to connect with the communities I am involved in (which are niche (home) brewing groups). The groups are surprisingly untoxic but that's entirely down to the awesome moderators and the scientifically minded people they manage to attract.

I think the usage of mostly real names also helps knowing the people better than just some random nickname and knowing where (if even) they work.
hell yeah! dancing is kick ass.
Sure, only because the chemicals weren't regulated yet by the government (and they fought as hard as they could to keep that from happening). Funny enough, DuPont actually had its own regulations for dumping such chemicals and knowingly violated them (which became the cornerstone for the class action lawsuits against them).

That said, there's plenty of cases of illegal dumping out there with chemicals that are regulated.

Dance is a sort of trance, and requires alot of letting go

I know what you mean, also when you talk about that certain tenderness, I have experienced that, and I can get that same thing out of sports like climbing/bmx/snowboarding. Take climbing: slowly reaching for a difficult hold you've never touched before, where you carefully lay your fingers on it, just touching it at first to make sure it'll actually hold you - and if not a fall an injury is certainly in there - while the rest of your body is at one wth the rock. That's basically the same for me. Or take snowboarding, just surfing a gentle slope, all alone while a snow shower slowly becomes heavier. There's no real goal there, focus fades, it's just you going with the flow. And getting that trance-like feeling really only works if you let go of certain natural fears.
Huge congratulations on that, it's good to set standards. Perhaps you might consider making them a bit higher?

The watch is made in China, but the software is made by them.

The page says there's a pedometer but if you look at the datasheet of the accelerometer there isn't [1]. So it's computed in software (it's inside Espruino) but it's really basic. I have proposed Gordon, the author, an open source algorithm which I developed with some students (Oxford step counter), and he seems interested, but it takes some time to integrate and calibrate so, AFAIK, it's not there yet.

About the size, I don't really mind, it's quirky, but it definitely doesn't follow the latest trends in terms of fashion...

I don't think that's a reason for them not to do it. They could just claim it was an accident, they weren't really collecting the data, etc etc ad infinitum and most people would continue to use facebook just as they always have.

The day I uninstalled the facebook app was the day it asked for permission to read all text messages (on top of the many, many other permissions it already had). I figured the next step would be audio and video (after all, there wasn't much left to ask for at that point).

I've read this post, and Seeing Like a State after SSC's review of it (thank you for the reference though!). Both of these came after my Peruvian epiphany, but they really helped sharpen my understanding of epistemology. Though my focus here is a little different: instead of focusing on how top-down policy privileges techne over metis due to its legibility[1], I'm primarily interested in how the individual can make better use of metis from outside his bubble. This is the main thing I look for when I travel, and a nine-month, and a 6-continent backpacking trip I took in my early 20s was a really transformative experience for exactly that reason.

[1] The reason I don't focus too much on this aspect is because I've already found it productive to model politics and policy as a natural disasters, or millions of monkeys banging on typewriters: I don't think most humans are capable of what I'd consider critical thinking, and they're certainly not capable of exercising it in large, complex systems. I get that this is a little nihilistic, but in practice it just means being selective about how you choose to spend your time with and not getting too drawn into cases where you can't control it, like politics.
The high-order bit is predictability. Going from "knife crime" to "guns in the U.S." is a highly predictable move, guaranteed (in the general case) to lead to tedious, repetitive discussion. The art of interesting threads requires learning to abstain from reflexive, predictable moves. That's one of the biggest things we've learned in over a decade of operating this place.

You get error messages if you get it wrong.

Spot the bug in the below:

// +build windows
package my_pkg

That's right, if you don't have a newline between the build comment and the package, it gets ignored as a package doc comment, not a build tag. So that comment is treated as a comment, but if there's a newline it isn't.

If we had a normal pragma, "go build" could error out instead, but we don't.

Similarly, if you typo

//go:embd file

go build will ignore that as a comment. If it were '#embd', the tooling could error out with "unrecognized pragma".

I think that's the main argument for not using comments.
Looks like you're just as caught up in your own bias as everyone else though :)

Not sure why you jumped to the conclusion that someone saying "X is not like playing a sport" is a claim that "sports are trivially easy compared to X". I don't think the parent comment was claiming that at all, just that they're different, namely that dance is not inherently competitive.

He was best known for playing trumpet in the Sun Ra Arkestra in Chicago from 1959 to 1961, but he has some really amazing solo material. His catalog is somewhat limited, but it's uniformly excellent. Two of his records, "on the beach", and "the spanish suite" are streamable in their entirety on youtube. For a quick introduction, check out his single, "frankiphone blues" (also on youtube).
If Twitter wasn't so fascist about the content their users post maybe they would be a profitable company.
Look at all the resistance to avoiding censoring destructive and untrue comments and ads that resonate with people and are very destructive. This happened in multiple countries world wide.

Any web search in google news will find articles like these. It's not a recent problem. Because facebook has so many users it we know in Brazil that the government uses social media like twitter and facebook to spread stories to inflame certain tensions.

Yeah, I wonder if they compared dancing to highly dynamic (non repetitive) sports, then would the results be different.

Soccer for instance, demands continuous concentration and is as taxing mentally as it is physically, esp. in certain positions. This seems to be similarly true with sports like hockey, basketball, tennis, etc. Not sure how much of it applies to stop-start sports like baseball, cricket and american football.

Climbing requires deliberate control over muscles, breathing, coordination and concentration, in manner that I haven't seen in any physical activity.

That being said, looking at some of the dancers I know, dancing can be incredibly physically taxing on its own.
I used to have this problem but then I recently bought Tailwind UI. It’s $250 but I thought it was totally worth it, it makes it so easy to make stuff professionals if you’re a freelancer or working on multiple projects from scratch, the $250 ends up being worth it over time. I’m not associated to tailwind UI, I’m just recommending it because I really think it’s great and was surprised how easy design became after I got it
It may be different now, but it was not long ago that browsers would without remorse just let the printed page cut even images in half if a page break happened to be there. It seemed as if all they did was create an image of a length long enough to fit the printable content and just fed that to the printer. No smart layout at all.

If things are different now, it certainly was not during the brief time Wave was around.
I think it's easier to be less aware of your entire body while practicing for other sports.

As someone who plays basketball and tennis, it takes a lot of focus to pay attention to my whole body for an entire practice session (vs. just a single part that I'm trying to improve). Most of the time, if I don't explicitly try to pay attention, I just use muscle memory and try to get into "the zone".

In tennis for example, I only need to pay maximal attention when learning a stroke (although of course it's beneficial to pay attention to every body part when just regularly playing - it's not necessary, and certainly something that a lot of recreational players don't do). Whereas with dance, it's required that you pay attention to your entire body for the entire practice session to memorize a choreography.

I think that's the difference that's important for this paper. If my elderly dad were to play basketball, he might rely on muscle memory. Whereas, if his nursing home taught dance classes, he would definitively have to pay attention to all of his body parts.
Is David Shaw brilliant? Absolutely. Has the quant/technology revolution been a positive development for financial markets? No doubt.

But secondary trading is still a zero-sum game. Firms like D.E. Shaw are profit maximizing and extract a huge amount of value from society. Probably less than the old boys club they replaced, but probably much more than necessary. There is a great deal of competition among quant trading firms overall, and their rise has coincided with electronification of markets, tighter spreads, lower commissions - all good things. But if the forces of capitalism are truly working, you have to wonder why so many firms like these continue to print money year after year (although there have been some new developments-- for example, stock exchanges have gotten much more effective at monetizing their access and data feeds, which has really put the squeeze HFT market makers; still, zero-sum game though).

There's no good reason we can't have it all: efficiently-priced modern-technology financial markets without these huge rents being pulled out. And I shouldn't pick on quant firms specifically - every layer of the system extracts its share, and I'd argue brokers and exchanges are much worse since they're fiduciaries and semi-regulatory entities, respectively, and riddled with conflicts of interest.

Availability for space for one. Moving your whole family in a different even state for the other -- which might not be an option, breaking lease etc during a pandemic. And not all employers have clarified when they expect employees to come back. Are you going to move across states for half a year, 3 months, less?

Also, those lunches are not free: employers offer them as part of the compensation and to keep you at the office working late. Compensation negotiations always bring up the benefits as an item of your compensation. If a company makes the argument that they are paying you in fact x,000 more in the form of benefits, they are now breaking this agreement (even if it is oral) and not paying you. (I have had a "if you end up working too late and there is no food in the office, we will pay for the food and keep working." style of clause).

Similarly, some people do negotiate working from home most of the time and doing a 3-4 hour commute once a week in exchange for reduced salary, to enjoy a larger and cheaper home. That is an obligation the employer placed on the employee and asks for money to lift it, and allow them to live somewhere further away.

Related to the workspace, I do personally like to change working environments (e.g. coffee shops at times, quiet room at others) etc. Most people though need to consistently separate work and rest of their lives.

And the workspace is the responsibility of the employee unless you have a remote work contract. (Certain countries have legislation on the matter in fact for both cases.) Imagine a car mechanic being asked now to service cars at their home instead. For engineers the work environment is not a power plug, some paper and a laptop, even for software engineers. That is romantic naivete perhaps, and dangerous thinking.

If employers send surveys around and ask point blank if people have screens, space, good desk and chair, keyboards, high speed stable connection -- home connections now have to take the slack from enterprise ones -- good access to all the servers, they disagree with the above thinking. They wouldn't be paying for all of the above in the first place, otherwise.

Oh, I did not mean to say it would be a piece of cake. Yes, side channels can be a nightmare to track down. But it's not a matter of knowing cryptography. It's a matter of knowing your platform. The rule (don't let data flow from secrets to the side channel), remains dead simple.

Think Go (the board game). The rules are much simpler than Chess, and the game itself arguably deeper (for instance, effective Go AIs appeared much later than effective Chess AIs).

> I reject his premise as well that this guidance prevents good people from pursuing Crypto as a field of study - as far as I can tell it's not discouraging anyone with actual interest in it.

I confess I'm not quite sure about this one. I'll just note that we've seen people bullied out of some fields. (I recall stories of women being driven out on competitive gaming that way.) A constant stream of "don't roll your own crypto" is not exactly bullying, but I can see it be a tad discouraging. To give you an example, here's the kind of mockery I have to face, even now.

When they talk about substances with 'global' effects as being too blunt and then talk about 'precise' intervention it reads like some sort of real life Stor Gendibal from Asimov's Second Foundation, with his precise adjustments of the fine tendrils of the mind.

It's interesting that they depict a human belief in love as "potentially immature" but then substitute it with an alternative, potential immature view, that depends on the materialism belief that somehow we will eventually be able (in a future around the corner) to understand what being human is, and reduce it to a set of detailed material interactions.
> I wouldn't be surprised if this is an actual bug.

Under other circumstances, yes perhaps. But in the case of a Facebook, with their complete disregard for privacy and search for more and more ways to collect data, this seems like an explicit feature implementation.
So, you need to be a competitive dancer then? ;)

To get that good you need discipline and dance for years (or just be a natural), so don't seem that far fetched to be at a similar difficulty level as sports in this regard.
A well executed boulder can often seem indistinguishable from dance. So many sports have a natural flow and tempo (the zone), that once you tap into, you really do feel one with the sport.

Sadly, the feeling can be fickle mistress and hard to tap into.

According to icelandic law a person under the age of 18 is a child.
Extracted from the accepted manusscript:

"670nm light devices were based on simple commercial DC torches with ten 670nm LEDs mounted behind a light diffuser embedded in a tube that was 4cm in diameter. Energies at the cornea were approximately 40mW/cm² which often resulted in a mild green after image for approximately 5-10 seconds. Participants were asked to use the light to illuminate their dominant eye every morning for 3 minutes and to repeat this daily for 2 weeks. These metrics were selected because they fell within the range used in a large number of animal experiments. 670nm illumination was largely confined to the central retina comprising the peaks in rod and cone density."

Its present and its hurtful to see how even to this day bonded labour is sad reality in rural areas even after caste discrimination is illegal. It runs deep in the society to the extent votes during elections are given on the basis of castes/religions and candidates are appointed by parties on the basis of castes and religions depending on the geographic distribution . If political parties use such tactics to win the election I find this hard to believe that there is some progress / situation will improve in near future.
> Signal should handle this case explicitly in the app

I'm not sure I agree with this. Eliminating the use of a system library because of single bug likely makes everything _worse_ in the end. You might work around this one bug, but how many other bugs might you be introducing? Or how many bug fixes will you miss out on because Android fixed something upstream? If every app has to implement its own URI parsing because the one provided by the system isn't perfect by default, you end up with an objectively worse situation than you started with. How many bugs around punycode or obscure query param parsing rules or unicode or URIs with credentials or new top-level domains will pop up because every app uses a different library with different behavior and different test suites, or a different version of each library?

Android fixing their software _does_ actually make a difference, especially with recent versions of Android which update much more seamlessly than older versions have.
