A field in the parent class is still a member of the current object, and I'm pretty sure there's no way "this." could make a difference there, right?
The cost of insert and delete is massively asymmetrical. This is an intentional and fundamental architectural decision in all of our data infrastructure and built into the data structures and algorithms that are used. Not only does “delete optimized” data infrastructure not exist, in many cases we don’t have good computer science for how you would even design such a thing while having good performance for all the other operations.

People that suggest using encryption and throwing away the key have not thought through the implications of that approach. It scales very poorly and therefore is not suitable for most practical systems. There are good reasons “obvious” solutions like this are not used.
But I don't think one enters Harvard committed to taking underwater basketweaving. At least as an undergrad, once you're there, I would assume that, like any college, you have a wide range of courses and majors to choose from, restricted only by needing to follow "X is a prerequisite for Y" structure and possibly being required to take some core classes. (The situation would be different for graduate degrees.) So if you're at Harvard and you decide to take underwater basketweaving, that's on you.

Hmm. I guess maybe there would be cases like "the school requires you to take at least N courses, and you don't want that much workload (or, more charitably, some of your courses are extremely demanding and you want to lighten the load on the rest), so you take some facile courses". Or cases like Feynman taking astronomy and philosophy to satisfy the humanities requirement. But I don't think there's any case where you'd need to major in underwater basketweaving... unless that is the easiest major and that's your criterion. I dunno, if they want an easy major, can it at least be something useful? Perhaps it's good in some sense if the genuinely useful majors are strictly separated from the easy ones? Hmm.

I think "Communications" seems to have that reputation, and a subject by that name does sound useful for being in a company (I have no idea what is actually taught in it). My brother-in-law said he majored in Communications because it had the lightest courseload, so he could work for Microsoft while attending school.

Does this stem from the “Listen for Hey Siri” setting?[1] I’m assuming that means my phone is “listening” at all times in case I say the magic words. What I wasn’t assuming was that snippets of that “listening” would ever leave my phone. It’s unclear to me whether recordings being sent to Apple are a separate setting. If I allow Siri to listen but have turned off Siri analytics[2] was Apple still potentially listening?

Even reading the description of the second setting though doesn’t make it clear Apple could be listening to recordings you never intended to make:

> Help improve Siri and Dictation by allowing Apple to store and review audio of your Siri and Dictation interactions on this device.

If my phone is in my purse and I say something that my phone thinks sounds like “Hey Siri” I wouldn’t consider that an interaction but perhaps Apple would.

[2] General > Privacy > Analytics & Improvements > Improve Siri & Dictation

AOL had a particular mismanagement problem that Google doesn't have.

AOL didn't lack depth: they literally had email (@aol.com), social media (AIM), video-calling (Vonage), cloud filesharing (Xdrive) and so much more.

Ultimately, they failed because (1) they were overvalued to begin with and (2) had a bad innovation model (top-down) that led them to (a) over-commit to online ads and (b) under-commit to broadband.

Google is sustainable & mature, and it has a distributed innovation model that will avoid the particular mistakes of AOL.

Google is reacting to the Walled Garden trend, not driving it.

I conciously decided that I didn't want to do my own bike maintenance, I do enough stuff as it is.

Every three months I replace the tires, breaks and chain, and have the bike shop do a complete tune up and clean. My last service cost about $400. Then there's inner tubes, clothing, handle bar tape, other replacements, etc that also add up.

My bike is my primary form of transport, and I average about 8000km per year. That's not far off what people put on a car.
> That sounds suspiciously like he's considering pardoning Snowden.

It sounds suspiciously like he's doing the “say provocative but noncommittal things referencing subjects of controversy as a distraction from other controversies over concrete policies” thing he does, on average, on more than a daily basis.

Meanwhile, the plot to cancel public voting in the Presidential election and substitute legislature-selected electors in sufficient Republican-governed swing states to guarantee Trump reelection has already passed the “provide a public pretext” stage with Trump’s handpicked leadership at USPS, after dismantling capacity to produce widely publicized mailing delays, following up by notifying states that the Postal Service’s “delivery standards” do not support completing delivery and return of ballots on the timelines required for mailing voting (with the first part of the pretext provided by the pandemics impact on safety and public confidence in in-person voting), leaving only the obvious legislative action as a remaining step.

> Also... going from calling for Snowden's execution to potentially pardoning him is one hell of a 180.

The President always had the potential to pardon anyone for actual, charged, or potential and uncharged federal crimes. There's no transition, much less a 180, to “potential”.
This is practically the end of Mozilla, a sad result of horrendous mismanagement. Instead of pouring all its resources to make a superior browser and thus attract more money by having bigger market share, they just stagnated. They bought pocket and gutted Servo for virtual reality. They invested in superficial political activism and paid exorbitant amount of money to execs.

Firefox is inferior in all regards except privacy. People will claim it's just as fast as others, but even if it wasn't obviously false it wouldn't be enough. It should be undoubtedly better in all regards. With all the money of Mozilla they could've built a better, faster browser but they just didn't want to badly enough. And that's the tragedy.

And besides, there are URLs that are semantically useful, such as reddit's "u/username" or "r/subreddit" schemes.

Of course, the URL is being assaulted from two other fronts, with websites turning into single page apps and with social networks constantly making it difficult to share URLs.

80 beats of that will give you McMovie or McNovel, and they're popular enough. You can even buy beat by beat formulaic breakdowns of when specific plot twists and other events are supposed to happen.

But no one will care unless there's a coherent motivation linking the plot points together. To give an extreme example a character who tries to buy a spoon, followed by a car, followed by a laptop, followed by a kite, and so on for another 70-odd beats, isn't going to make for much of a story. It won't matter if they succeed or not - unless there's a motivation for all of those events that explains the action and puts it into a relatable context, which illustrates character through challenges and conflict.

But not too much, because readers/viewers need a mystery.

The mistake beginning writers make is trying to illustrate character and motivation through internal monologuing and introspection, flashbacks and infodumps, and emotional impressions rather than through plot actions. This goes too far the other way and you end up in lit fic where nothing much happens for pages on end, but it does it very beautifully.

Or - more often - self-indulgently and rather boringly.

Meanwhile novice genre writers follow the template with a call to action, refusal, and all the other stock steps, but it's still hollow and uninteresting because the character doesn't have any character, passion, or inner tension, and that makes them boring in a different way.

It really depends on what counts as insufficient. There is enough debate in the scientific literature on what constitutes a "sufficient" level of Vit D for most healthy adults. If we set the sufficiency level of 25(OH)D of 20 ng/mL (50 nmol/L), most of the world's adult population would be in the healthy range. These levels can be achieved in a healthy Caucasian adult in a northern latitude in summer (eg, Edinburgh, Scotland) with as little as, say, two sessions of 10 minutes each in a week, exposing just the arms and legs.

Serum levels of Vitamin D also do not plummet with the winter months - it's more of a slow dip, and the seasonal low levels do not seem to negatively effect most adults.
I would love him to do so. We really need another wake up call in this country that the government routinely lies to us and that trusting our officials requires them proving they can be trusted.

Remember, Snowden has been out of this country since May of 2013 and the last Administration did not pardon him but instead did pardon Manning whose actions were more reckless. It really comes down to the fact Snowden really stepped on the toes of some big time political players who are not used to being called out.
I was a Lightroom Classic user before fully moving to Darktable, and now I get better results with Darktable. Not because it is easier to work with, but because the rendering engine for Fujifilm RAW files is miles ahead of whatever Adobe uses.

Still miss my film simulations, though. They were great starting points when editing a big photo shoot.

I should give RawTherapee a try. The UI with Darktable is definitely its biggest disadvantage.

it doesn't work everywhere, tho.

Check out how Walmart failed in Germany, for exemple.
Among others, management forced the employees to be welcoming to customers, but the Germans found it creepy.

Personaly, I'm more the German kind. I've avoided grocery stores and businesses where the manager is overly talkative and gives discounts for no reason.

IMO, to have a great shop, just have the parts the poeple need, so that they don't come for nothing.
Then, have a website to let customers check out your stock, the prices, and choose parts from home. Not only it's reassuring to them, but it's also quicker to you when they know what they want.
And know how to fix bikes, as much as possible on the spot.

It's hard to disappoint a customer in a shop. Actually, they'll often be happy and truely appreciate the place.
Running this kind of business is mostly about getting them back. When they need something, they'll go to the place they consider the most appropriate. Even if they also like other shops.

It's not the work of a high intellect, but I don't think it's fair to proclaim it as pointless.

> I know people who went to college, but lived at home with their parents "to save money". In reality, they didn't need to save the minimal room and board fees of a state school; they were mostly just cowards. They are the people that haven't changed at all since high school. They're the people that are afraid of everything in the world outside their small circle.

I did exactly that. Lived at home, attended college, and also worked nearly full time to pay for school. I graduated with nearly no debt, and the the day after graduating college moved out with a good job.

Not sure how that makes someone a coward or afraid to go outside their small circle. Some of the people I went to HS with all went to the same big state school so they could actually stay in the their small circle. Once done, they moved back to where we grew up, are still in the same small circle, and have/had large college debt to go along with it.

I haven't seen anyone from HS in over 15 years, and have lived and traveled all over. I would be cautious to paint people making financially prudent decisions with such a broad brush.

Yeah this happened, per Mueller. Very large BLM Facebook group that organized rallies is an example.

I previously thought most of the psyops efforts were lower level IRA trolling, per what was in un-redacted Mueller.

Digging into some of the private sector threat intel reports around semi-attributed campaigns (see the link), there's evidence that more deliberate operations are occurring.

Most of those complex campaigns I read seemed focused on border states between Great Powers, and CONUS campaigns focused on sowing nonsense, chaos and mucking up comms channels. But I guess it's no large feat, beyond boldness, to employ something with more structured narrative inside the CONUS digital sphere of influence.

I mean "of course this is a thing that happens," but it's still a seriously interesting read on paper, it could easily be employed in the US, and it's pretty bold to do.

As many problems as capitalism has, often monetary goals align perfectly with the 'ethical' action.

In my experience, capitalistic companies that optimize for long term survival (as is characteristic of Amazon) usually act in a less malevolent manner. However, any company that sees a revolving door of CEOs, will be seen to optimize for short term gains at the cost of consumer friendliness.
My belief is that this is a compromise of convenience rather than want. It appears to be easy to achieve equality by hampering the best, but much harder work to achieve equality by raising the worst off up.

Well, the BLM movement's theory is that the U.S. government - the police especially - are secretly racist, don't believe black lives matter, and are conspiratorially targeting black people just for being black (in spite of mounting evidence to the contrary). That's not too far away from my understanding of the QAnon conspiracy theory that there's some "secret society" of bilderbergers or illuminati that are pulling the strings behind the scenes.
