I've been programming professionally for only 5 years or so. I often feel sluggish after work, and I think it's connected to how long I sit without moving. Now I try to do something physical every hour, and I've been feeling more energized.

We (LinkedIn below) are building a Slack app to enable working teams to be active together. The teams using our Slack app are on fire so far!

We're wondering: can we hijack the shift to remote work to build new habits and work culture?

Also: what negative effects have you noticed from a shift to remote work, and how do you counteract them?

So a relatively fixed object that they passed at speed? There is even more room there for size distortion. A doll hanging from a drone? A partially-inflated balloon of some sort? Once one person radios "jetman" then subsequent spotters will tend towards that description too.
I think those look really exhausting and unnatural since you have to carry your whole bodyweight on your arms.

Seriously, try suspending yourself with your hands on two chair backs. Now imagine doing that for many minutes at a time, while also withstanding heavy vibration and precisely controlling your flight.

I'd rather leave the definition of obscenity to the courts than to a private company.

If a company wants to editorialize their content and provide moderation when they deem fit then they specifically should lose their protections under section 230.

> Also, the $99 is the blanket cost to be an Apple Developer, including access to the App Store, technical support, etc.

This is actually the problem. If an open source developer doesn't want access to the App Store, technical support, etc., they still have to pay for those things.
That’s 96k per year. Assuming 20k in taxes and 10k in health insurance (both very generous numbers), that’s still 66k per year. Outside of some Californian cities, 66k is more than enough to lead a comfortable life on.
The outrage at Bella Thorne seems misguided... After all, she did not change the policies, only fans did. Did her actions increase only fans timelines for these changes? Maybe. But at the end of the day, I don't think that justifies the outrage Bella Thorne is receiving over this. Am I missing some action that she took that should justify the outrage: for instance, Bella meeting with only fans to demand that the maximum allowed tip be reduced?
Social aspects in the sense of that we nowadays use them for cars only. Back in the days people traded on streets, had cafes and social interactions. Kids could play football and learn how to cycle. That's all used up by cars with all the externalities that comes with it such as dirt, noise, wasted space, deaths by accidents and air pollution.

Not to forget: streets were used that way until ~80 years ago. We just can't remember them any different any more.
So, why does it matter? The article talks about random security things, that have nothing to do with the title.
It's presumably a huge amount of work. There's the work of setting up the shoot and the performance itself, then the photo editing, managing and interacting with your community constantly, marketing, dealing with the finances/bookwork, researching and buying new equipment and clothing, etc etc etc.

Just like successful twitch and YouTube channels, the behind the scenes work is hugely underestimated.

You are trivializing the work of someone without any apparent understanding of the actual labor involved.
If they are taxing unrealized gains in one year, are they returning funds at the same rate on unrealized losses in the next year? (This isn't a rhetorical question. I'm genuinely

That would be handled client-side, like email. You could build in a standard set of rules, and then have some kind of ML process profiles you manually mark as spam. Just have it filter profiles in API requests through the fake profile detector.

> At least that was the fate of all peer to peer social networks I'm aware of.

That doesn't seem true of Mastodon. The few servers I've been on were fairly tame. I think the worst I saw was someone posted a sexualized anime-style image, but there wasn't any nudity.

I didn't immediately spot anything weird on Diaspora either, but I only spent like 45 minutes on there.

> Also, if users are really anonymous, the system will end up turning into a cesspool of disgusting and illegal stuff.

Anonymity can be okay, but only in the presence of heavy moderation. HN is basically anonymous if you want it to be, but it stays on target because of the moderation. You can see it on Reddit too. AskHistorians is a wonderful place to be; the subreddits without even basic moderation do indeed turn into cesspools.

Federation has historically made this difficult because you can only moderate your own instance, which is often a minority of the content you consume. There are potential solutions for that, though. You could allow users to "flag" posts, and add those flags to the data you federate. Then, like the fake profile system, you could filter them based on user parameters. I.e. hide posts that have at least 1 "racism" flag.

If necessary to prevent brigades, you could also filter the flags that you accept based on the user that flagged the post. Maybe weight them based on similarities in accounts you follow.

> Apple gives away Xcode and allows people to sign apps for their own iOS devices for free

Yes they do, to entice developers to build apps for their phones which they sell for a premium. Remember Ballmer (different company, similar context) .. Developers, developers, developers...
> Congress delegated some of its constitutional authority over foreign commerce to the President in 1988, explicitly empowering the President to prohibit mergers, acquisitions, or takeovers that threaten national security. TikTok's acquisition by ByteDance falls under that authority.

However, Congress cannot delegate a power they do not have. The US Constitution specifically states that:

> No Bill of Attainder [law to punish a particular person or company, rather than those who meet certain categories] [...] shall be passed.

> No person [that includes corporations] shall [...] be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law

These combine to limit the degree to which Congress can decide to just punish a certain company. For instance, they can certainly pass a law saying that any company that threatens national security must be sold or cease doing business. But I believe under current legal precedents Congress could NOT pass a law saying that TikTok must be sold (for no reason... just because Congress doesn't like it) or that all companies that are owned by Democrats must be sold.

Now, if TikTok actually threatens national security, then no one questions whether the President has the authority to order it sold. But "due process" requires that the decision of whether it threatens national security be made on the basis of some reasoning. They don't have to necessarily be RIGHT about whether it threatens national security, but they do at least have to have some reason for believing that it does.

ByteDance claims that the decision was completely arbitrary and based on nothing more than "the company is based in China". If that is true, then this is reminiscent of the Japanese internment camps in WWII -- nothing but plain racism on the part of the government. If that is NOT true, and TikTok threatens national security (not just Donald Trump's ego), then of course it should be sold.

I look forward to finding out the truth of the matter.
How about tonal marks (á, à, ạ, ã, ả) and "weird characters" (ơ,ư,â,ô) in languages like Vietnamese? Should the filesystem ignore those, too? After all, they are regularly left off in a lot of modern text based conversation.

If I have "bài tập #14.pdf" and "bai tap #14.pdf" in the same directory, basically everyone is going to expect them to be the same thing, not different things. Trying to explain they are different because filesystem developers only understand English-centric conventions isn't exactly easy to explain either.
The jetpackers in the video at the bottom of the article aren't the same jetpackers the article is about. The people in the video clearly have permission as you pointed out, but I don't think we can say for sure as to whether the person at LAX did.
Sure, if you have the resources of Apple, you can make other choices. I'd be willing to bet that Apple has spent more than $1B on clang, llvm, tooling, testing, integration, et cetera.

2020 is not the 1960s when that may have been part of the decision making and the city was much smaller and less congested. But even then, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t envisioning an evac of 100% of the pop.

Yes you can. Walmart, Amazon and Target are doing just fine, when worst comes to the worst, there are options.

The (unanimous) Supreme Court decision was not a "joke". It was an obvious interpretation of an old New Deal-era law. The problem goes to Amazon and to a broken Congress unable to fix this. It does not go to SCOTUS. If you feel conflicted, go read the ruling[1]. It's a short one.

People need to not judge court decisions solely on whether they think the headline outcome is good or bad. Besides the fact that the actual outcome is frequently more complicated than the headline, the reasoning is just as, if not more, important the outcome. That's the part that constrains future court decisions.

Yeah, it's a mess but it's all because the incentives are wrong. If you've got an exit row aisle, there's not much advantage to getting on quickly and orderly. And if you do have a middle seat in the back, what's the point of getting in a hurry to get on board?

The Southwest cattle car style works better than anything else I've seen. Sure, it sucks to be one of the last boarders and be sentenced to a middle seat in the back, but that's something that can be fixed if you're better organized and more punctual next time you fly.
After my first review of this situation, I agreed with your assessment but apparently she has not been very pro sex-worker while building off of the services that they have grown. It's still very difficult to find good info on this situation, because its all twitter and insta posts without a good paper trail.

And Art Lebedev also introduced an Optimus Maximus keyboard, where each individual key has a tiny display -- yet every key is still a physical key -- back in like 2008 at CES -- 12 years ago -- with smaller prototypes and announcements for several years prior to that (they've even got vapourware awards because production has initially been delayed after a lot of initial attention -- it's finally hit the shelves in 2008).

I would have to disagree on both main points;

BTC is nearing 12 years old and time tested.

BTC also proves that no regulation at all is necessary.

It also proves that even folks who think they're technically literate, are hardly capable of making proper backups and or properly using Bitcoin. It's too sophisticated for most. You shouldn't keep multiple bitcoin in one private key. There is no reason at all Bitcoin should have KYC or regulation. It exists outside the government monetary systems and it is your risk you take to use it. Crying about using it because it's risky just means you shouldn't be using it.
Your numbers seem reasonable, but that 66k has to support N people, covering rent, food, childcare or tuition, all the equipment and clothing costs for the business, etc.

Is it enough to save for retirement? To deal with a medical emergency or sudden bill? If not, I'd feel comfortable calling that scraping by.

There are many places that would be a tight squeeze in the states.
This is my first thought as well. If police go to a place, there is more likely to be a recorded instance of a crime investigated in that place, and thus the algorithm will be more likely to send the police there in the future.

The crime map for Vancouver is interesting - I'm glad to see that the tool reported in the article is at least exposed to the public.

Most women I know under 30 seem to spend the majority of their time taking selfies and photos of each other, and i don't think they are posting on only fans. Seems trivial enough to me. The fact that most fans seemed to think it wasn't worth the money implies something similar.
It's definitely not deep learning focused. I wanted to start by introducing the models machine learning practitioners should all know. But collaborative filtering and stuff along those lines would be a good addition! Thanks for the feedback.
I almost wonder if (1) capping the audience size a user can reach, and (2) limiting the rate of a user's audience churn would dissuade users from amplifying misinformation. Not only would it cap the dopamine hit they'd get from sharing outlandish bullshit, but also limit the damage they could do by doing so.
> Reality isn't a solid monochromatic wall of even-sized glyphs, why would UIs have to be?

I work almost exclusively in a terminal, but I never work in "a solid monochromatic wall of even-sized glyphs". Well, I usually use even-sized glyphs, but certainly not walls of them, and I rely heavily on tools that use unicode creatively to annotate text and colours.

Terminals have been able to handle graphics of various levels for decades (e.g. Sixel and ReGIS), though unfortunately it's not as widely used as it could be. E.g. my repo contains a script in bin/ to spit out images to the terminal using Sixel, which makes it transparent to ssh.

But the point for me at least is not an objection to graphics, but an objection to not having a command line to manipulate everything. Including graphics when I use it. And an objection to being unable to access data and code remotely without taking special steps.

The terminals gives me that.

It's not at odds with graphics at all. But it's add odds with a focus on graphics at the expense of function. And it's at odds with accepting a world where your app and your user interface needs to live on the same machine.

If your only option available is a Walmart job, you definately should NOT be having kids. Society used to judge things like irresponsible pregnancies, and everybody were way better off because of that.
A wealth tax directly targets wealth inequality. No other tax can do that. It is also extremely predictable, as wealth doesn't necessarily disappear when the economy has a downturn. You need a war to destroy wealth.

Wealth lasts for generations, and you don't pay inheritance taxes on family connections or a top tier education. New taxes that make the accumulation of wealth more equal, i.e. progressive income taxes or capital gains as income taxes, will not erode the existing wealth disparity within our lifetimes. Just look at how the policies up until the 80s resulted in white Americans owning all the property, which subsequently appreciated due to monetary policy.

If wealth inequality is a problem, which I believe it is, you should tax wealth because it directly reduces the gap in absolute terms.
> The idea that someone may commit a crime based on things they are doing is abhorrent. It runs against the idea of innocent until proven guilty.

That's nonsense, it has nothing to do with the presumption of innocence, that only comes into play at a trial.

Law enforcement often looks at things that aren't crimes to predict crimes. An obvious example: people grooming minors online. It's totally legal to talk to a twelve-year-old on the internet. It's totally legal to meet twelve-year-olds you've talked to on the internet. But it's highly suspicious when you're 30, and if the police hears about it, they'll very much be interested in checking that out, even though you haven't committed any crimes yet.

It's a different question whether these systems look at things that are strong predictors of criminal activity or not.
Many people massively underestimate the effects of tech voyeurism. Even relatively tame fans can be frighteningly deep in delusions of having a connection with someone who they have little to no interaction with.

I encourage anyone perplexed by how Bella supports herself when there is no scarcity on the Internet to pornography to check out Twitch's Just Chatting category. Find a thumb of an attractive woman and click into her stream.

You will find many viewers who act as though they have a personal relationship with a streamer. People respond in chat as though they are having a conversation with the streamer. People donate (sometimes $10+) just to have their message read on stream.

Most disconcerting, you will find a non-negligible amount of people who are watching the stream + insulting the streamer in chat. These are people taking time out of their day to participate in targeted, anonymous hate.
And you'd need a very long lens to get a worthwhile shot of a human-sized object a fifth of a mile (~300 yards, so ~900 feet, ~0.3km) away. No phone camera can come anywhere close.

I do actually own a lens that could do it. Extended to full 500mm focal length and mounted on a camera body, the whole package is about three feet (0.9m) long. That's a lot to wrestle in economy class, especially if you're not in the window seat! Given advance knowledge of the opportunity, with time enough to prepare, it wouldn't be too hard a shot to get, I think. But taken totally by surprise? Even if you spot me the camera being out and ready to shoot - which is no triviality given that this happened on final - and the jetpack guy being perfectly visible out the passenger windows, I'd still need a very large helping of good fortune, not to mention a good deal of tolerance on the part of whoever is in the window seat.

Mice are used for medical testing of drugs all the time. A friend of mind who is both an MD and a PhD toxicologist tried to explain to me once why mice are ideal for testing drugs that could be used some day in humans but I sorta zoned out after five minutes (it was a social setting and I might have been drinking something if memory serves). When a study can be replicated and show statistically significant results then the study is moved to more "human like" subjects but when it comes to the way cancers and tumors work it's apparently 99.999% the same in mice as in humans.
On a related note, since there are video podcasts, I've always wondered why they haven't been positioned as an alternative/competitor to YouTube by now.

A lot of YouTube channels and types of content could be replaced by video podcasts, and be more convenient for viewers.

As for monetization, Apple wouldn't even have to build an ads platform; content creators could embed ads themselves into the content, as they currently do for audio podcasts.
> removed joint-venture restrictions from most sectors of the economy,

This is misleading. On paper sure, but not in reality. The majority of large companies in China will in fact be forced to participate in a joint venture. And sure there is no "law" on the books requiring forced technology transfer, but foreign companies are forced to do it.

China is a not a country that follows the rule of law. Period. The law is whatever the CCP says it is today. There can be no rule of law without an independent judiciary, and the WTO mechanism's you speak of are completely unenforceable.

>broke up many state-owned enterprises

Also misleading. They were technically "broken" up. But they still have have CCP liaison committees, and CCP members running them. The government still assists them with corporate espionage, and provides them with enormous grants and loans. Large companies in China are still state owned enterprises in all but name.

> but the investment environment for foreign companies improved massively in China

It did improve for a few years, but the current administration has managed to reverse nearly all those improvements.
I see you missed the "only way" part.

To be fair, they admit that a potential "gay bomb project" was real. They didn't report that the "gay frog experiment" was real though.

Most conspiracy theories have some sort of factual basis. What makes them conspiracy theories is the wild exaggerations, unfounded extrapolations and unproven connections to all other conspiracy theories.

I have my own "conspiracy theory", which is that people like Alex Jones are assets to whoever wants to divert attention from the factual basis of all these conspiracy theories. Actual conspiracy theorists usually suffer from paranoid delusions and apophenia, they are incapable of maintaining credibility. The factual basis then becomes less credible by association.

So while all the "clever" people get to have a laugh about that clown and his antics, they forgot asking themselves why the hell taxpayer money might be flowing into gay bomb research, and what other ridiculous secret projects might be underway right now.
