Two points worth noting:

1. Factory farming breeds viruses -- one of the main reasons people have been saying "when, not if" about pandemics for decades. We happened to get a coronavirus this time, but factory farms will produce a flu pandemic soon enough if we don't stop them, which we can. Here are two videos by Dr. Michael Greger for background:

- Pandemics: History & Prevention: https://youtu.be/7_ppXSABYLY

- Can we stop a future pandemic? Dr. Michael Greger M.D explains what’s next: https://youtu.be/N0pvR92XT30

2. We keep making markets more and more efficient and then lament when there's no resilience and small problems affect everyone everywhere. Redundancies and other inefficiencies aren't bad.
I sympathize, your work that was never published was probably of equal caliber to your published work, and just as valid.
Is this why I’ve been getting spam from gmail lately?
Contrarian dynamic in action:

I'm not sure the first part you wrote about "reacting from cache" and "triggered" capture the entire phenomenon.

From personal experience, an empty comments section only leaves the article to comment on with no inspiration for specific content. A poorly written article will obviously provide plenty of fodder (and inspiration!) but hopefully won't end up on the front page. Meanwhile, a well written one (which hopefully does end up on the front page) often doesn't leave me feeling the need to add anything.

Worse, truly brilliant technical articles generally leave me completely out of my depth as far as commenting goes but are really what I come here to read. So the more desirable an article is (to me), the less likely I am to be capable of adding anything of merit.

Assuming the majority are in a similar situation (which could be totally wrong of course), it seems to me that the initial comments will necessarily select for people with less common view points. Of course that includes "triggered" as you say, but I think it's also all sorts of other things - a unique angle, factually incorrect, controversial but correct, a genuine misunderstanding, whatever. (The time constraint would certainly favor "triggered" reactions though.) That would then naturally lead to the rest of what you described.

(Ridiculous idea: Run GPT-3 against each new submission to generate a set of "seed" comments for people to disagree with, elaborate on, make fun of, etc. It would probably just end up derailing things, but who knows?)
Can anyone tell me which Keepass they recommend?

There's so many different Keepasses...

I'd like to use the same db file between Windows, Linux and Android, and I'd like to be able to autoenter without a browser plugin, at least on Windows.
Thank you Coherent. And thank you to all the guys/girls that used to work at the Mark Williams Company.

Coherent opened my eyes to the world of UNIX. 30 years later, and I have never yet used Windows as my every-day desktop.
It seems particularly salient that, near as I can tell, Citi paid the money out of its own funds, not using Revlon funds it was holding in reserve. In which case it was not paying money that Revlon owed, it was accidentally giving Brigade an amount of its own money equal to what Revlon owe, not even immediately but in the future.

If my understanding it correct, it would seem to be Citi's mistake, leaving them on the hook rather than Revlon.
you know uber lets drivers set prices now right?
I will use Uber and Lyft less because of this. I don’t really want to go through the process of negotiating the rate. This is much more tedious.

How would that work? Are we gonna host petabytes of photos on a blockchain? Maybe many exabytes even? Maybe in the future, but even then, as storage capacity increases I think file sizes too will keep growing for the foreseeable future as well.
None, and that's the point. But a casual user clicking on a web link may not know that.
I know what you mean, if this is what you mean. YouTube has become so laser-focused that it's become ridiculous. I watch videos and get suggested similar videos. Eventually I'm only watching one type of video.

>I don't mind paying for my content but I do mind being the product.

This is another thing that bothers me. Being guilt-tripped for not watching an ad, or being a Patreon subscriber, or YouTube Red subscriber. Even if I don't watch ads or pay a fee I am, me, this individual is valuable just for who I am. My data, my habits are valuable to Google just as much as it is for me to pay a fee or to watch ads.
So was the web until ~ a decade ago. (Well, parts of it still are a disaster but it’s getting better every year provided you’re not running chrome.)
Drivers now set their own prices. Then it is the same as setting your own prices to teach piano to kids?

Set your own price higher then
It's only normal for open access journals to charge (or making a paper in a traditional journal open-acess), as the journals cannot sell access to the article. And the fees are usually a few thousand.

Of course it's also most common for "predatory" journals to be open access and charge thousands.
> The right tends to prioritize systems that actually function in the real world

This is a lazy take - plenty of systems have been created by "the right" that don't work, even according to their stated goals. Moreover, how do you define "work", and why are things like gender and racial equality framed as extras rather than integral to evaluating whether a system works?

> This is just a case where the first group has run amok

How did you determine someone has "run amok" here? Uber/Lyft were shut down for a day - we have yet to see the long term effects of AB5 and that's where the proof is. To take a historical analogy, of course when we outlawed child labor some businesses that relied on it shut down. If we'd just said "oops, let's reverse that decision right away" we might still be left with the impression that child labor laws had failed.
What really sacrifices convenience:

a. You show up, only to discover that the train just left. Since it isn't properly scheduled, you just have to get lucky. Enjoy waiting an hour or two for the next train.

b. You show up, only to discover that there are too many people to fit on the train. Since you don't have a seat reservation, the train fills up and you don't get to board. Enjoy waiting an hour or two for the next train.
Feel like they missed an obvious opportunity to coin the term slacklash...
I’m aware that Ruby/Rails isn’t that quick, but it seems mind boggling that an 800ms server response time is considered tolerated, and 200ms is satisfying. I’ve never used Ruby in production so maybe my reference point is off and this is more impressive than I’m giving it credit for.
I haven't had to deal with PII issues for a few years now so I might be a bit rusty but: Regardless of how driver's license ids are created, they are global identifiers of a specific person. If company A knows a person's driver's license number, and company B knows that same person's driver's license number, the two companies can be certain they're talking about the same person.

That those ids are often formed from a transparent function of other PII only makes the issue more extreme. It's like PII^2.
A communication environment is just a reflection of culture.
Pretty sure all the S1000R years have fuel, but yeah it's as miles remaining. S1000RR didn't have anything until 2019.

It never really made any sense, but now that race bikes have tire pressure sensors and full color LCD instruments it is really spectacularly dumb to not have gauges.

Any of the popular crotch rockets have had fuel gauges forever. I think it's mostly just crazy race/rep bikes like BMW and Aprilla (so i guess the guys that only make sport bikes in 300 or 1000+) that don't have gauges
It seems that your claim of infinite harm is based on the idea that the future is infinite. If the current subpar healthcare situation continues indefinitely, is the harm that it inflicts on its victims not also infinite? Is the benefit provided from removing this source of harm not also infinite? Then by your own reasoning, the question is not nearly as simple as infinite > finite.

Being in favour of single-payer, I can still appreciate arguments against it I guess. But this particular one isn't very effective.
Too bad fitbits crap out. I have had 2 die on me. They lasted 1 and 2 years. Case in point, my spouse wanted a Versa and it died straight out of the box after 5 minutes. Their forums are full of complaints.
I get what you're trying to say, but ... I still don't see it. I introduced slack at work a few years ago. It's fine, it's modern and has nice UI (UX on the other hand ... is just OK). I also used chat clients and IRC since the 90s. I don't see slack being the Michael Jordan of Chat clients. I don't see how it is a fundamental change the way the iPhone was.
Who will keep declining? Drivers set their prices up front (they don’t even get requests outside of their price) and riders auto accept if it’s in the range they were shown.

> The only problem is that off the cuff remarks can be part of the permanent record now.

I don't think you appreciate the scale of how many headaches this can create for a large company. Previously, A says something mean about B at the watercooler, even if somebody overhears it's all he says, she says. With Slack (or any other group chat/IM system), if A says the same thing, it's broadcast to everybody else on the channel and anybody can take out of context screenshots and run squealing to HR/EEOC/lawyers/whoever. And it's all accessible to anybody with a subpoena on a fishing expedition as well.

And you can't just fix the company or the people: beyond a certain scale, no matter how good your hiring process and training, no matter how awesome your company culture and benefits, you'll get permanently unhappy people, shit-stirring trolls, wackos with extreme views and all the other weird creatures that populate any Internet forum. So eventually you have to converge on reserving chat only for strictly work-related comms and training people to take anything with the mildest whiff of controversy to talking in person/over video.
This is not true for custom domains for some time. The DKIM signature is only added for users in the account that has the domain, and similarly mail is sent via different outbound servers that are not included in our recommended SPF record if another a user outside of this account tries to send mail from that domain. For Fastmail domains the situation is more complicated for historical reasons (we've been around over 20 years and customers have set up workflows that we need to transition) but we are working on it.
No, they pretty much are employees, sorry. Under the current framework, they fit the definition of employee well in the letter and perfectly in the spirit.

Employees can have literally every single freedom that Uber drivers have. Nothing is disqualifying.

I agree that once we reform Healthcare and Unemployment, we can create a third category if we want, but there are actually no inherent disadvantages in freedom of being an employee in this case. The classification as contractor only really benefits Uber and hurts the common man.
Frustrating, but I agree with Slack here. It isn't their job to police the behavior of your coworkers. Maybe try talking to the person directly? Or their boss? Or HR?
If you want bulletproof software with guarantees (like the medical industry or aerospace or traffic light systems or banks) you'll get extremely conservative, boring old tech with no flashy new features all the time.

If the cost for breakage is too high they just won't make any changes unless absolutely necessary. But the market has spoken and people prefer flashy new features and updates instead of boring railroad control-like software that is works the same way for decades.

You can't have it both ways. If your data is important don't just store it on a single device. These photos were just stored on a single device that could break for any reason any day anyway.

Unless Adobe can be shown to have been criminally negligent or intentionally malicious I don't think there's a case here but ianal.
Why Did Mozilla Remove XUL Add-Ons?
That's what I thought too when I saw the title --- "Adobe says 'Not Recoverable', recovery program says 'Run me!'" --- and then I read the article and discovered this is on iDevices, where raw block device access is effectively unattainable. I guess those who have jailbroken might be able to, but then again, with Apple's stance on security being what it is, wouldn't be surprised if all deletions were truly secure.
Surely this is a lot to do with browsers and js frameworks always changing. Everything non-browser related is probably fine.
That's a good detail to note, thanks. I wanted to note that the size of the enum itself is indeed known at compile time otherwise the compiler would complain (such as if it is improperly recursive). The point is mute though as a tree like this would usually be built on the heap anyway (whether that be an arena or normal allocation)
> What's truly bad are our buildings that have the minimal insulation and sealing possible, leaking all that cold air right back out into the environment.

In the case of the house I'm currently at, it is pretty good at retaining heat in "winter" (in quotes, because it's Bay Area winter). However, in the summer it will be quite warm late at night. So sometimes I want it the other way around, I want it to radiate excess heat away as fast as possible, but I can't control that. We should be able to deploy "heatsinks" at night.

That's for a house. Modern office buildings are built like greenhouses, even when they are otherwise insulated.

We can't really roll out solar panels fast enough. They would help offsetting the cooling energy costs by a lot. After all, it's during warm sunny days where the air-conditioning needs are the greatest. They also provide shade.
And yet Apple is supposedly better at UI and UX than anyone else. I still can't see it no matter how many times I use Apple software.
>Nope, there's lots more options than that. Cut executive pay. Tax high earners more and provide social services like healthcare and public transit, to reduce cost and demand on these services. And yes, prices would likely go up, because they're no longer being subsidized by gov't welfare.

Executive pay, etc was what I was referring to as "fat". But what fraction of Uber's expenses do you think executive pay makes up? This is an oft-stated refrain, but anytime anyone runs the numbers, it quickly becomes apparent that those aren't large enough to make any difference across the huge number of employees involved.

I'm totally onboard with the social reforms you mention, but these are outside the purview of Uber/Lyft and this attempt to force them to treat these people as employees.
No racist means what it always has. Discrimination due to race.

Racists are playing the blame card, and shifting the goals more now though.
Those books are so awesome, the zones of thought really stuck with me, I use that metaphor almost weekly when building mental models. Also the idea of a code archeologist really got me to dig into the book Working Effectively With Legacy Code, and now I'm actually pretty good at it and really enjoy it.
This is exactly why I do manual updates for pretty much all my software. Any time I mention it, people hound me with "what about security issues!"

uh oh yeah thats a concern, but I will take that risk over shit like this where personal files are just getting wiped. Most users dont need bleeding edge software. You can run months behind and be fine in most cases.

I read release notes. When an update comes out, unless some big feature that I need is introduced, I skip it.
I bought a copy of Photoshop Elements 2019 two months before Catalina came out. Guess what no longer works on Catalina? Adobe knew full well it wasn't going to work, but still continued to sell it, and didn't bother to update it.
Building off the example in the article about college students, I can attest to this: For years it's been required for colleges to be upfront and disclose the total costs, and financial literacy initiative at orientations & introductory courses have pushed the issue explaining the additional costs of taking longer than 4 years to graduate. The results have been indiscernible from prior to this.
> It's easy to "replace" it with something that is buzzword-compliant and that uses the new shiny, but that doesn't cover all the cases and doesn't have all the needed bug fixes. That's not a step forward.

This is a false equivalency imo. If you build a replacement system that is buggy and sucks, you did a bad job, it has nothing to do with the tools that you are using. This seems like more of a criticism of management to me
I'm not talking about a general contractor, I'm talking about when I hire one guy to do some work on my house.
Holy cow I didn't realize this. It's like the imessage bullshit but with money instead of texts.
In the commercial software world you just open-source the code and hope your competitors adopt it.
Not if your mirrors are set correctly. Lean your head to the side window, set the mirror so that it just misses the tail end of your car. Position your head over the centre console, set the mirror. There is now approximately no blind spot. You can fine-tune by careful observation on a multi-lane highway as people pass/you pass others. Done correctly, there is no blind spot.

If you do decide to make a bee hotel, then please do this:

Beware Birds!
If you notice Woodpeckers or other birds attacking the
tunnels looking for bee larvae, fix a piece of chicken wire
across the front of the bee house. This does not seem to
deter the bees.

Basically, make sure that a four inch beak (over estimate, three might be OK) can penetrate a hole in the "hotel."

I suggest that chicken wire is an integral part and not optional.

> What's the role of an academic journal in 2020?

For me, trustworthiness. Not all journals are equal but some are held in such high esteem that I would grant a lot more credence to the findings of an article published in a journal than one self-published.

I have neither the time or will to assess the merits of each individual who might publish something. If a name is sufficiently big within a field, it's usually in a sufficiently big journal; on the other hand, I would treat a self-published article with the same level of skepticism as those low-tier journals that happily publish pseudoscience as fact.

Call it snobbishness if you will, and I'm fully aware that academia is full of it, but that's the role that a journal fills for me.
Well with Lightroom Classic you can’t use it until you login to your Adobe Cloud account. I have a literal boxed copy of it that I can’t run because I don’t want to associate it with my cloud account (which I also don’t want to have).

I also detest the subscription as I rarely update and don't care about new features. It compares really poorly too with the other key piece of software I use - DaVinci Resolve. Resolve has an incredibly good free version and then the paid upgrade is a single payment.
I think both are correct.
No but I’d leave a good review and maybe write a card.

Very noble, but I'm assuming (hoping) the technique will be more generally applicable than Ruby?
This argument made sense before the filesystem was encrypted. Also there's no reason the bootloader couldn't wipe the flash when it's told to load an unsigned kernel.
If your input is long enough, you can sometimes overwhelm the system to write something no longer relevant to the role-playing game. I used some application notes on electronics as input, and AI Dragon was able to write a textbook on electronics engineering, filled with nonsense but all the technical terms are correct (e.g. common-base amplifier, base-emitter junction, MOSFET, etc), it was even able to output the rise time to bandwidth formula. I also used some computer history articles as input, and it was able to write a parallel history on the history of microprocesssor, still filled with nonsense (i.e. Intel 8080 is more powerful than Motorola 68000) but the correct words.

And you are only able to tell the output is nonsense because it was doing technical writing. If the output is a story, for example, an electrical engineer in working in a project (e.g. The Soul of a New Machine), then the story will be surprisingly coherent, and even the technical description will be reasonable.

Indeed. I've seen some mightily acerbic rebuttals to other researchers' articles published as articles; I dread to think what a rebuttal to a review might look like.

I'm sure someone will say "well, maybe the acerbicness is the problem"; perhaps so, but I welcome the rigorous honesty with which some academics willingly write.
You're right, I don't think they should exist in their current form, they don't seem to be viable without near-monopoly pricing power anyway. I'm just saying this because people act like we can just mandate that companies pay more, without mentioning that it's probably going to mean that those jobs just won't exist. There's a reason taxis were a niche service in most parts of the country - people haven't historically wanted to pay what they cost outside of eg going to the airport. Which means that almost all those people everyone is claiming to act on behalf of are probably going to have to find something else to do for money if Uber is forced to take them on as employees with full benefits and high wages.
