It depends. If they are just typing fast and have real sentences on each line then that's different from two words per line like you showed.

But I think personally that for cognitive work it's actually necessary to be able to turn notification sounds off and ignore chat sometimes if it is used routinely. And if the employer didn't understand then I would try to get another job if possible.

Yeah but if you're reasonably good with security, they at least prove you were conscious and present when someone logged in.
Yes. I guess they may be trying to show that Apple and Google have a duopoly in the mobile app market. If they win the Apple case, I am sure they will sue Google next, and that would be a much easier lawsuit to win.
I think Apple only restricts how you can tell people about lower prices, but I forget the details. Pretty sure you can't include in-app information or links about/to lower-cost options, and maybe you arent allowd to advertise that the iOS IAP price is higher elsewhere, either.
There's a similar relationship between efficiency (convenience) and security (safety). Examples are everywhere. A centralized system (efficient) is a SPOF (not safe). Aggressive caching can be fast but unreliable. Adding a lot of features in a short term makes the code unstable, etc, etc.

People often focus on one thing and overlook the sacrifice they're really making. Everything has a tradeoff.
I had a colleague who would do exactly this in order to slack at work -> pinging someone and saying 'hello', then some time passes until the person responds, then the enquirer asks a question, then the person responds and it goes on...

And everytime during the stand-ups the person would be -
"Oh, I couldn't communicate the issue on time, I will continue working in the issue today..."

I noticed this once because we spent two hours discussing about some topic.

(we have a milestone-based flexible release model, milestones could be scheduled every couple of months at times, so the person would slack quite a lot)
I pretty much totally agree. FWIW, I do think there might be some good things on the horizon. Rome has a lot of potential, as do Remix and Svelte. We'll get past this :)
1 hz per word - but people type a character at a time. A word per second isn't great.
I want to defend Vitalik here and say it's unreasonable to expect him to address everything in a single blog post, there are a lot more failure modes than just malicious networks, none of which are explicitly mentioned. [1]

Each of these kinds of trust fit relatively neatly into the framework he proposes though. Blockchains are designed to run on tens of thousands of nodes distributed around the world, which naturally insulates them from any one country deciding they don't want cryptocurrencies to be used within their borders. And even if every other country decided to ban Bitcoin, if America still allowed it then Bitcoin the protocol would happily continue to work within America's borders, in that sense it has 1-of-N trust in countries allowing it.

On the other hand, if America or China decided they did not want Bitcoin to exist any more, and they were truly willing to do whatever it takes to shut it down, they have enough tools at their disposal to shut it down. This situation doesn't quite fit into V's framework, I think because some of the N are more important than others?

- Do you trust whoever writes your client / mining software to write code without showstopping bugs?

- Do you trust them to use a reliable build process?

- Which websites do you trust to tell you what their public keys are, so you can check the signatures of the binaries you run?

- Do you trust whoever sold you the computer you're running your client / mining software on?

- Do you trust the mining rig manufacturers?

- If your protocol relies on a notion of time, do you trust the time servers?

- Do you trust mining pool operators not to use their hash power maliciously?

- Do you trust that if someone found a way to forge signatures, the rest of the world would know?
Yes, it’s a massive difference in quality. Feature films will often incorporate video shot with e-mount APS-C cameras. Live TV is often streamed using HDMI capture decks like Blackmagics, coming from cameras not too different from consumer mirrorless cameras.
I did a real estate project with two guys from wealthy families. Things didn’t go well and we lost tons of money. The two other guys got bailed out by their families, did another project that did well and now they are successful businessmen. I couldn’t participate second time due to lack of money and took more than 10 years to pay off my debt plus sold lost all savings.

I think this is pretty common. When i did contracting for a while quite a few of the older contractors had failed businesses and tried to pay off their debt.
Google is slowly trying to supplant that with https://web.dev/ They couldn't care less if MDN lived, and would be quite happy if MDN (and Mozilla) died, no one would challenge them on standards and technologies etc.

Either way I go back to what I was doing until I come to a convenient stopping point, typically between 1 and 5 minutes.
Yes we spent £20k to win our registration, but could have lost the mark entirely - I can't imagine what that would have cost instead.

It's a tricky expense to justify when you're bootstrapping, but if you're funded at all - put those TM registrations on the list!

Most things that people think need an immediate answer actually don't.
Regardless of how accurate it may or may not be, any blanked generalisation over millions of people is in fact useless for individual judgements. It is quite dehumanising as well, seeing it's people we're talking about.

I've had people assume traits about me due to my place of birth. I did not like it one bit I can assure you, hence I strive not to do so with others.
Automated dial/entry, handoff to an operator, especially in high-volume attacks. Verbal repetition requires greater process coordination by the attacker.

Cues such as hesitation, discomfort, etc., may also be present.

The far more prevalent case is likely simply to guard against mis-keyed digits.

Similarly in heathcare, virtually every caregiver handoff involves asking for name and DoB. For the caregiver this helps confirm they are (literally) on the right page (patient record). Patients may see this as tedious.

If you think I’m wrong, feel free to present an argument that Apple has saved $200 billion in cash to fight court cases, and that they have in some way neglected to spend on priorities to fund this. Your response was ad hominem.

I used a strong tone because you presented a very strong conclusion that I don’t believe to be supported by evidence. You linked a fact you don’t understand (Apple’s cash pile) to the topic de jour (Apple’s new court case). I really do think this is a starting point to conspiratorial thinking: grand conclusions on the basis of a couple ideas. Maybe the way I warned you wasn’t likely to succeed, but I meant it completely sincerely.

Have a look at Apple’s stock buyback history: they spend $385 billion from 2012-2019: https://www.aboveavalon.com/notes/2020/4/23/apples-460-billi...

Dividends are harder to quickly find, but they seem to pay out about $12-$15 billion by year.

The money paid out to investors dwarfs their cash pile.

Two other facts:

* A lot of Apple’s cash is overseas. They can’t easily repatriate without tax consequences

* Apple has about $100 billion in debt. The cash offsets this

> Now I totally understand why Apple have piled up a huge mountain of cash and never spent a dime.

Given the fact above, your conclusion doesn’t seem very logical.
The phrase I use is: Technology supports technique. If the technique is to play piano, a well-maintained acoustic piano is the ultimate instrument. If the technique is to play music, a toy keyboard will suffice.

What technical studies often lose track of in their quest for perfection is a sense of balanced technique. If you want an immortalized thought you can very nearly achieve that by publishing a book. But an immortal body and mind is at odds with a developing body and mind. When we say immortality we surely don't mean "I can continue to be a glum and unfulfilled soul staring at a screen forever." And yet, with respect to our digital technologies it really is somewhat like that - more and more gets captured and archived. Does life improve? Depends on the measure. We address one set of traumas only to uncover others, at first dismissing them, and then gradually coming to afford them respect. It's extremely common not to recognize how screwed up we are.

If we were to say, instead of the preservation of your exact form, you get to be healed of past trauma and remain full of energy, but without controlling exactly where you end up, how you evolve, and maybe forgetting some of your past - would that still be immortal? And if so, then a existing healthy, fulfilled life is very near to that.

And I do believe philosophical thoughts like those are where we are going, since we have picked most of the low-hanging fruit leading to material comfort while still guarding it jealously and justifying a deficit in column A by pointing to spectacular achievements in columns B, C, and D. We have to realign the techniques and therefore the technologies to square it up.

I do think the context where these communication issues are the most painful are when there are already other serious problems. But if you have a whole org where a decent fraction of people engage in these patterns, it can turn your day into one substantially driven by pointless interrupts.

Broken habits in an org that can exacerbate this:

- People don't feel safe saying stuff in a group context so there's a large number of DM conversations at any one time.

- The chat app is actually used for time-critical issues and sometimes an immediate response is strongly expected. People feel obligated to rely on notifications.

- There's in general a poor commitment to supporting a "low-interrupt" mode of work for some roles.
About 9 months ago, Iranian government shutted off the internet amid protests.
telegram is the most popular messenger among the Iranians. But it didn't work then and was disconnected, like all other services.
only sites and services which had their servers inside Iran could continue their normal functions.
my question is, what is the difference between internet shut off in Iran, and Belarus? Could telegram stay available in Iran, but didn't bother to?

Indeed, the Chicago school has held for the last 60 years or so that Anti-Trust legislation produces more monopolies than it prevents.
Strongly defining a monopoly sets the bar for a company to be tenthousanths of an inch below it. Rather than avoid abusive behaviour a corporation will maximize it in the full extent the law allows.

Companies are rarely leaders, most boardrooms are execs asking what their competitors are doing so they can mimic it.
I thought it was a great name. As a kid, reading the books, I thought palantiri would be cool to have to be able to scry anything and anywhere. All that cool info to observe and learn.

It seems like lots of people incorrectly assume it’s negative. It seems to show off a lacking in understanding of lord of the rings, more than anything.

Same out West - if you live in Seattle, the park right next to The Pits on Lake Washington (where the pits are for Sea-fair hydroplane races) used to be a landfill. My grandparents grew up across the street from it. It doesn’t smell at all.
Fair point. The ease of use is just as important to the ubiquity, and Android especially has a lot of vulnerabilities. But, vulnerabilities also come with popularity: people try harder to find them.

1. How much less secure would Android be without even the play store’s security measures?

2. How much harder would people work to find vulnerabilities on such a ubiquitous platform used by non-technical users if any app could be installed?

You would likely get more malware and more app hesitancy.
>If you are evil and proud it makes sense to name yourself after evil. It is a waste of everyone's time to try to recruit non-evil people.

Exactly. Interviewed there, got the same bullshit vibe.

Like, I'm here to find out just how tasty the cookies are on the dark side, you don't need to convince me you are, quote, "saving the world".

>Taking short cuts with either stupid or ethical people is never going to work for them.

I think they are going for smart, non-ethical, but obedient enough people. Drinking the doublespeak kool-aid probably is a good enough indicator for that.
> What's the alternative? Never categorizing anything?

Ah, yes, because the alternative to 'always' is 'never', not 'sometimes when appropriate.'

Categorisation is great and helps us make sense of the world. It's just sometimes misleading and we should always be on guard against category errors.
Meatpacking Companies Dismissed Years of Warnings

According to the ASPI report on the subject, "Receiving factories across China are also compensated by the Xinjiang government, receiving a Ұ1,000 (US$144.16) cash inducement for each worker they contract for a year, and Ұ5,000 (US$720.80) for a three-year contract." https://www.aspi.org.au/report/uyghurs-sale

If those Uyghurs were unpaid labor, I don't think that would be necessary. On the other hand, it's unlikely that factories pay their Uyghur workers more than market rate, so most likely the owners are just pocketing the subsidy.

The article seems to suggest a boycott on products made by Uyghurs, which sounds like a way to maintain ideological purity while making the problem worse (usually boycotts are intended to harm the boycotted...) I think it would be a better idea to use unannounced factory inspections to ensure a minimum standard for working conditions.
It’s not $99 per developer, either.

I know it won't happen but I wish that all major companies on the Apple store would collaborate and all at once either release in-house in-app purchases or link to their websites to instruct users to buy stuff. Apple can't remove every app from the app-store as the ensuing shitstorm would have people ditching Apple in waves.
politeness is also not wasting their time for the same reason. If you aren't there or aren't willing to respond, why make them type a huge question before they can learn that?
> Video games are clearly richer games

I don't know, if you include Magic the Gathering in the card games pile it's definitely competitive on the "richness"[0] spectrum against most video games.

Though in the current apocalypse, there's been an uptick in video game forms of Magic, and even a sharp rise in people playing over the internet by pointing a webcam at their table.

I would be nice if liberal arts programs also required calculus and physics. An educated person should know something about science besides these "I believe in science" memes on the internet.

Only a third option if you don't care about all the problems the article tells us about. Full access by third party developers and being able to update code are simply at odds with each other. There's no way around it.

Understanding PurpleAir vs. AirNow.gov Measurements of Wood Smoke Pollution
You are telling me how things are, I stated how they should be.

A criminal should give their consent if it is information otherwise considered private. A simple count of crimes by the police is implied. You draw the line when identifying information is collected and that individuals that are identified have not implicitly granted consent. If you are not sure, ask for consent

Let me use another analogy: If I am unsure a person has granted me permission to have sex with them, I should ask for consent. If I am unsure that they are of sound mind at the time, I wait until I am sure.

This is far from rape but the principle is the same. If you are unsure ask for consent. If you are not sure murderers mind counting of their crimes ask for consent (I think they'd love the publicity, I would personally be sure consent is implied).

Also, yes the law should be changed but we are talking ethics not law here,right?
Check digits would solve that.
Rules like the above are what causes a chilling effect on public comms and a rise in DMs. So chill out and create a relaxed space for your colleagues. If you need a low interrupt mode, get off Slack. If you’re in a job where you can’t, that’s a separate issue. If you have a time critical comms channel that’s being used for random chatter, it’s not a time critical channel.
> very few whites are as intelligent as blacks like Neil deGrasse Tyson or Barack Obama

There is a stereotype of self-righteous closeted eugenics believers that I’m reminded of, when I read statements like this. But you go just short of pushing an agenda, so fine. Putting that aside, the thing that I find frustrating about people having this debate is that they never seem to ask “why would people with darker skin tones do worse at standard cognition tests?” Well, IMHO, a more plausible answer is that “populations that are treated and educated better, who encounter less barriers to privilege, enjoy relative ease of social mobility and physical safety, are more likely to spend time developing their abstract reasoning abilities”.
I always wanted to put this into words but couldnt.
> The future look bleak until we get a true open source alternative running on open hardware.

Maybe a fork like LineageOS will take over eventually. An open hardware device is really needed though.
That goes the other way too, if not more so:

The union should stay out of such political matters; especially if they expect their continued funding to be above political reproach.

That funding is a private tax, backed by force of law, imposed on the income of the workers. Via political "donation" a large part of it goes to politicians, ensuring that the politicians continue to allow it. This is deeply corrupt. We have here a money pipeline from the worker's paycheck to the politician, with the union and politician splitting the ill-gotten cut of the paycheck.
This is not correct. You can charge whatever you like. You just aren’t allowed to have line items like “Apple tax” or words blaming Apple for the price.
Your second sentence implies you respond to the people who like to talk, and don't respond to the people who "just" need your help. Although it seems like it ought to be the other way around.
Public keys seem to work pretty well. I haven't a clue as to why a gang can't use public key encryption.

It's not so against the odds. The EU just implemented mass sanctions against Belarus and mobilised €53m to support agitators. Top politicians such as Varadkar tweet support.

If Russia so overtly threw money at organising American riots it would be front page news. There's been a year of mass unrest and yellow vest riots in France yet Marcons junta still reigns supreme.
Absolutely - must lose the toxic people as as fast as possible! They will damage the team at a far faster rate than any possibly contribution they can make.

The one good thing in this, is that, although these social media platforms can amplify and spread the toxicity, they can also make it a lot easier to identify & document.
Well, let me tell you, you thought I was brainwashed to pro-USA; and I have been called were linked with CCP as well.

What I was saying is that China and CCP, in terms of respecting international laws, are behind US.

So here US has the opportunity to continue setting the example.

I of course do not fantasizing US government being purely good.
> I haven't even needed to sign up for a Google account since using it (although I have to use an alternative app store).

This means you can't use any Google apps like Maps, Photos, etc, right? What Google alternatives do you use?
It's also worth noting that the article found that national stereotypes are the exception from the rule and a very mixed bag (for examples Russians having somewhat correlating stereotypes of Finns, but Finns having completely false stereotypes of Russians). Political, racial, or gender stereotypes are pretty reliable (according to the article), but national stereotypes are better ignored.
I suspect there will be a fairly long lasting middle step: an AI piloted "mini jet fighter". Say 4x smaller, but faster and more maneuverable by virtue of not having to protect a human pilot, and still capable of carrying existing air to air and surface to air missiles. It will sort of be an auto-piloted aircraft carrier for the missiles, which at some level are the "real aircraft" these days already. The missiles need a larger, fast and hard to shoot down vehicle to carry them into the region of combat.
> IQ also predicts or correlates with numerous other life outcomes.

If we hire people based on IQ scores/things that correlate with IQ scores, we should not be surprised if high IQ leads to better outcomes.

correlation != causation
Do IQ tests control for home life stability/quality, parental and generational wealth/education, school quality, other forms of hardship?
What a radical document. I doubt the comment thread will turn into anything more than a flaming mess; but this does go to one of the more interesting parts of the scientific process.

Scientists are, by and large, going to be well off. It is very hard to spend a life studying stuff that nobody understands while also been dirt poor or otherwise on the margins of society. Possible, perhaps, but not feasible on average.

Scientists therefore tend to be a little more well off than the average, a little smarter and a lot more educated. There is very little incentive to admit that the hoi polloi might know what they are talking about or have a good point. It is not unusual for people to be called 'anti-science' for taking positions that are extremely rational and not aligned with what the scientists want to happen. And this even though scientists are pulled from a class with its own political motivations.
