I've never encountered a YEC who concealed their foundational belief in the inerrancy of the Bible. In fact, if you watch Kent Hovind, he opens every single video he makes with, "I believe that the Bible is true and scientifically accurate." If you're going to lob charges of intellectual dishonesty you should be very careful that you're not living in a glass house.

No argument there, but we should do something about our barbaric local culture.
Deploying your software to these different stores probably doesn't involve as much friction as you think it does, and if there is a proliferation of stores one could imagine services springing up in the space to facilitate multi-store deployments and to make the process easier on developers. I mean, if it really is such a worry to you then someone will make a product to help with it because it is a business opportunity. TestFlight, after all, was invented because beta-testing Apple's apps used to be (more) awful.

> You are right that is a big part of it. But I don't think all of it.

Completely agree that that's not all of it. Not enforcing non-competes is just the only piece of it that I can identify that can be credited to the California government.

I'm not arguing that California isn't successful. It's very successful. I'm arguing that California is successful despite its government and that most policies passed by the government are well intentioned but counterproductive.

We shouldn't compare California to other states because every state has different circumstances. We should compare California as it is to what it could be. You could get rid of most of California's governance and the state would do be even more successful because politicians wouldn't be messing things up. For example, there are reasons why California has the highest poverty rate when adjusting for cost of living and a lot has to do with well-meaning but counterproductive policies.
> [Putin] consolidated all the political and judicial power. Destroyed, physically, politically or judicially all the opponents.

You are writing in English, and thus aimed at a US/UK audience - the president of the US (Clinton) and PM of the UK (Major) celebrated the 1993 shelling by the military of the Russian parliament that consolidated Yeltsin's power, and that of his chosen successor, Putin. Putin didn't consolidate power and destroy opposition, this was done in 1993 to celebration in the West.

The problem with this in the West really started in 2007 when Putin announced in Munich that Russia would no longer tolerate the US's continual encroachment against Russia. Suddenly all these events going back to 1993 which had been celebrated were cast as nefarious.

It implied that the temporal effect of the final deceleration was analogous to how when you throw a ball up in the air and catch it, it only momentarily feels heavier than before you threw it. The twin only momentarily looks younger because the clock has to speed back up during the final deceleration and a naive calculation neglects this step.
The fact that it was invented in Russia doesn't mean that this sample was Russian made. Every decent chemist can produce that stuff.
We were also shown powerpoint slides of Saddams truck-mounted labs of WMD - they just didn't exist. The second mission was to "win hearts and minds". Result: 1,000,000 people dead. Women, old people, children and toddlers included. Just watch collateral damage again. Do it 100,000 times and you know what happened in Iraq. Plus a dash of abuse and torture of prisoners of war in the Abu Ghraib prison. There are plenty of things I doubt when I hear about them.
Author of the stories here! Happy to answer questions about the process. I'm a big believer that tech like GPT-3 can provocate creative writers similar to tools like oblique strategies and story dice. But it can also go further like what I've shown here: it can embody a character, allowing authors to converse and play with it to spark new ideas.
Super cool. Would add this as a company gmail feature.

However, I also write emails to reduce time spent in conversation, so while I have learned to be more terse, when I'm not, it's to provide references so that I can shorten or preclude a conversation.

An ML email shortener is a fantastic idea for business comms, with the caveat that short email culture can also reward vagueness.
Additionally, it removed the "helpful resources" from the onboarding email. Though those links in particular weren't helpful, what if it had been actual onboarding links one might send in an onboarding email?

I did that switch after using Keepass(XC) for about 10 years. For me it was for the seamless sync across devices, and nicer polish of the various apps/addons (iOS, Firefox, etc).
I wonder if it's related to the size of the codebase you have right now, but compiler speed is one thing I've noticed from other comparisons. OCaml is said to have a much faster compiler than Rust.

Yes, when you want to use a new device you sideload the key file onto it in a secure manner (i.e. USB).

On Android this presents some issues though, since the last I checked the keyfile had to be added to the "SD Card" class storage, which other apps can also access. If you are on android and go this route, be really careful about the types of apps you install that have Storage permissions (good advice in general, of course).
> . The timing is pretty suspicious

I would say the whole thing was pretty well engineered and executed.

Kudos to Epic.
Not sure I follow you. Do you mean, they won't do it because it makes a lot of money or do you mean they straight up don't have the right because of the economic platform they've created benefits a lot of people.

Just to be clear, I'm just trying to understand if folks think the app store is a public commons or is it private property?

Lots of the comments on this issue imply that the store is a public commons. And I'm wondering if that's a common view.
No, you are libeling a completely innocent pizza joint owner. Please stop. Someone fell for those false storied and shot up the place, and fortunately no one was killed. The made-up "Pizzagate" story has nothing to do with the very real Epstein crimes (and Donald Trump had a closer and longer association with Epstein than Bill Clinton). Young girls were abused on Epstein's island. They were not abused in the basement of a pizza place, as the original story went; it didn't even have a basement, as the gunman who was all set to rescue the nonexistent victims discovered.
This isn't the real problem though...the problem with the existing AVX-512 implementations is the "relaxation time" causes subsequent scalar code to be slow.

From later in the same post:

> Here, we have the worst case scenario of transitions packed as closely as possible, but we lose only ~20 μs (for 2 transitions) out of 760 μs, less than a 3% impact. The impact of running at the lower frequency is much higher: 2.8 vs 3.2 GHz: a 12.5% impact in the case that the lowered frequency was not useful (i.e., because the wide SIMD payload represents a vanishingly small part of the total work).

Interestingly enough, this is another feature that is supposed to have been improved on server Icelake. The frequency transition halt time is now pretty much negligible. The "core frequency transition block time" goes from ~12 us on CLX (similar to the number quoted above) to ~0 us on ICX.

> Many of them already have other commitments and drive for extra income.

Exactly, why are so many people forgetting this aspect of ridesharing? The whole point is that you can pick it up and put it down whenever you want for a little extra cash. VERY early on people were able to make a killing doing Uber and that gave others a false impression that this was somehow a viable full time job. It's been years and years since it made economic sense to do Uber on a fulltime basis. Giving drivers benefits isn't going to change the effective hourly rate of $7/hr or whatever it's been for a while.

I suggest the addition of griefers: nation-state actors, white supremacists, vigilantes, 4chan lulzers and others who seek to create chaos for the sake of chaos, sometimes just because it looks like fun, they've got nothing better to do, kayfabe, and perhaps a personality disorder or two. Scary people.
The issue is that people making these laws do not have a better overall view of things. When you go against the majority because you personally think something without experience or evidence, that's a major problem.

When did I make the point that "it's not as bad as X"? Both full-time driving jobs and freelance ride-sharing exist. Drivers can already choose what works for them, and many choose ride-sharing for the flexibility it offers and because it's what works in addition to their prior commitments.

Why do you want to take away that opportunity or think that people are incapable of making that choice for themselves?
Everything from DNS to AWS SDKs gets reinvented in Kubernetes. It is the most anal approach of Infrastructure design I have ever seen in the last three decades. A good design builds on the things that are already there and does not goes around trying to change every well established protocol in the world.KISS.
You also dont see this mentioned that often, but failed attempts can be key factors of success to the successfull ones that comes later.

Therefore, we should be less intolerant with failure and understand that it forms some sort of a ladder where the failed attempts are steps that lead to the successful ones.

I miss this sort of "tech archeology", and i think that the status-quo of tech would do a greate service to us all if they aknowledged the failed attempts more, as this would give more incentives to people to take risks on innovation, knowing that even if they fail, their efforts would be remembered as it would lead to something that worked fine, with a couple of tunings.

There are a lot of bold and bright people that did amazing things that may (or may not) lead to big things, but that face the cruel reality of not being remembered because they are not the success case.

Because in the end, we are only able to succed when we embrace failure and stop being afraid of it, knowing that even if we fail, it might be key to success if not ours, from others that can pick it up from where we stopped.
It is not an excuse. Those early wrong statements have cause irreparable harm that's still ongoing. If all they wanted was to ensure health professionals get it first they should have SAID so (lots of responsible people in this country, even if there are plenty of bad apples) and should have gone to the supply chain sources to ensure health professionals get it before regular citizens do. What they SHOULD NOT have done is to straight lie to the population that masks are not useful at all and now turn around. Trust has been lost and good luck rebuilding this before the pandemic infects everyone.
Is it really a matter of whether voters want to pay taxes, though? Consider that in California (US), if you make 100k, you pay an avg tax rate of ~29% (marginal 41%), vs in Ontario (Canada), you pay an avg tax rate of ~28% (marginal 43%). At a glance, these look like fairly comparable tax rates.

But Ontario has free public healthcare based on residence status, while Cali doesn't. So a better question might be what is it that US taxes are paying for that are so important (but that the neighbor in the north can do without just fine) that it can't afford healthcare instead?
If you've ever worked at or hired for jobs between 1x and 2x the current minimum wage (in a given area), you know that the kind of people you can hire at 2x are totally different from the people you hire at 1x.
I feel like it's a catch-22 and you can dismiss almost anything either by point 1 OR 2.

If someone has skin in the game (is an investor etc.), then you can dismiss them based on those incentives: Of course he will say cryptocurrencies are important, he has just invested in a startup in the area! (Don't ask the barber if you need a haircut!)

If they have no skin in the game, then dismiss them for this reason: well, if they believe crypto is so important, why are they just being an armchair smartass about it in the newspaper, why don't they put their money where their mouth is and invest in a crypto startup?

most of the popular subreddits encourage hate against police and Trump supporters, just see how much cheering you get when there is a video of BLM assaulting someone wearing MAGA hat, or a white "Karen" (typically middle-aged white woman) is humiliated or assaulted by mob, or an officer sprayed and blinded when arresting some looter.

These threads full of raging hate are reaching Reddit front page on regular basis, with tens of thousands of upvotes and tons of social "awards", while anything going against the social justice narrative is shut down immediately, like in that 18% ban which affected many dissenting subreddits.

There are popular subreddits literally encouraging racial segregation, like "BPT Country Club" which requires sending picture of your forearm to prove you're black in order to participate.

This kind of thing radicalizes people on both sides.
Look, I'm on your side. I agree that YECs are both wrong and dangerous. My point here is that you cannot effectively oppose them on those grounds. They believe that you are wrong and dangerous, so the situation is symmetric. A mere belief that the opposition is wrong and dangerous cannot prevail on its own.
I find Linux considerably lesser effort to work with . I need to install Xcode command line tools to install even git . I need a package manager . the decades old gnu utils , the BSD style command order importance, lack of procfs , poor container support all mean I need to be constantly context switch between my local environment and dev/prod .

I don’t need native MS office, with sharepoint and google there is really limited value to run a desktop version .

Perhaps if you are professional publishing there maybe a need, for vast majority of regular office users who are just doing documents / presentations and spreadsheets for limited consumption , there is no real need for native office. The collaborative features online are lot more valuable

One of the reasons I originally choose OS X was exactly office , it was valid 5-10 years back , I needed to be able to talk to developers and management/customers OSX fit that perfectly , it gave the best of both worlds , today using Linux if I download to file to Libreoffice sure the formatting still gets messed up ,however not once in sharepoint has it happened to me and only rarely in google docs

Pre office 2016 , Apple versions of office had all kind of kinks which made it just as annoying to work with sometimes you were forced to keep mentioning your were on Apple version of Office

Everyone ‘s needs are different, if your workflow does not have suitable alternatives you need it sure .

My point is with average hardware and increasingly locked down OS the alternatives keep becoming more attractive .

Don’t get me wrong OS X was/is still great . first time I did OS X upgrade 10-12 years back I was amazed , it did everything on its own , the files I had opened back exactly it felt out of the world ! compared to windows back then you had to format your disk reinstall all your apps and copy your files back .

The application install/uninstall is great no messy over abused Registry needing you to reinstall the OS every 6 months. The UX is still great .

However the other OSes have caught up and Apple is no longer ahead of the curve enough to warrant the effort
> A comparison of average per capita GDP in 1995, adjusted for parity of purchasing power, between countries with malaria and countries without malaria gives a fivefold difference (US$1,526 versus US$8,268). In the period 1965 to 1990, countries where malaria was common had an average per capita GDP that increased only 0.4% per year, compared to 2.4% per year in other countries.

That seems like a really egregious case of conflating correlation with causation.
App Store discoverability is getting worse as it is. For the indies, having more channels to get their apps found might not be such a bad thing.

I like to think of myself as pretty level-headed and totally unbelieving of conspiracy theory. As an example, I think "billionaire in a prison cell kills himself to avoid the consequences of his actions" is a far more likely story than "covert assassins enter a high-security prison and stage a fake suicide".

But the moment the coronavirus started to get really bad, the first place my mind went was: "How does this help Putin?"

That's not to say I actually continued down that train of thought -- I don't think it's very likely Putin kept a secret lab that evolved a very potent virus and waited to release it at a time that would cause the most instability with his biggest enemies. But... my mind did go there, very fast. And sometimes it does revisit that place.

GPT-3 is self-driving car hype all over again. ML can generate all kinds of signals across a large variety of domains [1], but it lacks intelligence for what to do with any of the signal it spews. Humans are still very much required at all steps.

Because they are human after all.
If a customer is looking for you specifically, they will find you (e.g. "hubble data" as stated above). If they are looking for a "data quality monitor" then the SEO will need to reflect that. The name is largely irrelevant at that point, it's merely a moniker.

In the grand scheme of problems a new company has, this is so trivially minor that I can't fathom this having any tangible effect on the success of a company. It's one thing if there's another data warehousing company called "hubble", but that's not the case you're making.
A good example to show how much discoverability is important.

Check Blender's Peertube [1] and compare to their Youtube Channel [2]. At the time of writing the latest video is a week old and has 27K views on YouTube while a measly 28 views on PeerTube.

Those figures alone show that it's not even worth to keep an instance up and running for this. I doubt it even counts as an insurance policy against Google shenanigans, you are likely to lose all viewership if your channel goes kaput anyway.

The only way this can possibly be successful for anyone is if they make huge investments in marketing and that carries a risk that even then it may never pay back. YouTube just provides immense value through discovery. You may not like it but there's no denying.
