We've seen quite a few escape rooms charge per person or per connection for online zoom experiences. One of the largest escape room operations out there (https://theescapegame.com/remote-adventures/) charges $30 per person for their hour-long experience, and requires a minimum of four players. So that's $120 for an hour vs a $50 flat rate for 1/2 an hour. We think we're offering a good value and more interactivity.

The other reason for 30 min vs an hour is the cadence of the experience. We thought it's possible that a 60 minute experience could feel drawn out, so we opted to experiment with a well paced 30 min for our first offering.

You are misrepresenting that story (deliberately, to make a point?). One person on a vaccine trial has reported adverse symptoms -- it is not yet known whether the patient's symptoms are a reaction to the vaccine or not. They could be sick with some completely unrelated issue.

The trial has been paused in order to investigate the cause of this person's symptoms.

> “At this stage, we don’t know if the events that triggered the hold are related to vaccination,” said Dr. Luciana Borio, who oversaw public health preparedness for the National Security Council under Mr. Trump and who was acting chief scientist at the F.D.A. under former President Barack Obama. “But it is important for them to be thoroughly investigated.”

If anything, this should make you more confident, not less, in the safety of a well-tested vaccine.

AI Dungeon has already scaled up to over 1,000,000 players and managed costs. They have a whole article about it here:

https://medium.com/@aidungeon/how-we-scaled-ai-dungeon-2-to-...

An important note, as others have said, is that not every player gets the same model. Free players, as far as I'm aware, only get GPT-2 ("only" is a strong word, as up until GPT-3, GPT-2 was the state of the art in text generation and is still extremely impressive in its own right).
As I understand it, the dividend is set typically in a dollar amount and the % is a metric derived from that. I agree that the figure is (usually) a bit nonsense. However, I don't think your phrasing is as clear as it could be. If Apple announces a 10% dividend with a 1T market cap that's $100b in distribution. If the market cap doubles to 2T later that year, that dividend payment isn't suddenly updated to $200b; it just shows up as a 5% dividend in your typical metrics.

Maybe that's why he is largely hands-off when it comes to policing or shaping content? Not everyone agrees that the best way to manage an important communications platform is to shape the speech allowed on it.
I don’t see anything intrinsic to Julia that makes it more difficult than Python. Personally, I find the language a bit more consistent.

Python is better for library users in the sense that Python has more libraries, but I remember not many years ago when nobody was doing anything serious in Python for statistics because the libraries were so poor and so few compared to R.

Julia has some great libraries being built that leverage some of the properties of Julia that Python can’t easily match.

Will Julia “beat” Python? Maybe in the sense that Python has “beaten” R. Note that R continues to do just fine, thank you. So too will Python do fine. But you may be surprised to find some killer libraries or frameworks that are firmly in Julia’s domain in the future.
The context of that particular sentence is not about the overall device, which has already been mentioned by name. It's about the idea of having an Amazon-branded microphone in your private living space.

"While it’s natural to be chiefly concerned about privacy when your apartment comes with an Amazon microphone pre-installed, we should also be critical about where the data extracted from us ends up."

In no way does replacing "microphone" with "Echo" make that sentence better or more accurate, only worse and less accurate.
I get my flu vaccine every year. That said, I agree with Zuck.

Sounds like the ancien régime in pre revolutionary France; the absolute mess of tangled powers, rights, obligations, and jurisdictions made well meaning reform almost impossible, and gave untold ammunition to those more interested in obstructionism to maintain the status quo.

> and especially Fox News.

Watching Fox News doesn't mean you have to agree with it. Citing someone as saying something doesn't mean you need to agree with them either -- a citation means that you're pointing to what someone is saying. I read (and cite) everything from moderate sources to foreign state propaganda newspapers, to radical extremists from all sides (not just US red-blue).

Sun Tzu said: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Fox News is the top-rated news show in America. It has about the same ratings as CNN and MSNBC combined. If you're not watching Fox News, you can't understand where half of America is coming from. If that's the basis you're starting from, good luck working productively towards change.

The reality is half of America is seeing police violence. Half of America is seeing protester violence. That's the reality of our media. The things they show are real, but cherry-picked. It's actual video footage half of America is seeing. You can't just ignore that, and claim to understand what's going on.

You can't read about it either. Primary sources. Articles about what other people are saying are about half-fabrications at this point (on all sides).

You both are right. Apis are extortion and scraping is fragile. I once amused myself by crating random invisible divs when generating a server side html page. It made scraping resulting files impossible, and made no difference to the look of the page.
You'll probably need to go through a broker - you don't buy directly from the other exchanges like NASDAQ either. If/when any brokers are on board I'm sure LTSE will be sharing that information.

It's definitely an interesting question. Increasing the pool of people able to buy a house increases demand, so that probably has some impact on the price.

Another factor is that people tend to think in terms of monthly payments, rather than overall price and interest rate. For example, I'm paying $1,500 in rent while saving $500/month for a mortgage. If the requirement for a down payment is removed, I may then think it makes more sense pay $2000/month for a house now with a low down payment than to keep trying to save a down payment while prices keep increasing.

FWIW, this is exactly what happened (with different numbers) when I bought my first house.
This article is practically misinformation in itself, and the body of the text confirms it:

“The event is being investigated by an independent committee, and it is too early to conclude the specific diagnosis.”

Here is an article from another newspaper, about the same thing: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/sep/09/oxford-univers...

The headline is: "Oxford University Covid vaccine trial put on hold due to possible adverse reaction in participant"

Compared to NYT's "Covid-19 Live Updates: Vaccine Trial Is Halted After Patient’s Adverse Reaction"

I'm curious to understand why gas is prohibitive in the Rockies, if you don't mind. It's (at least, it seems to be) so ubiquitous in the Sierra's (where I am right now) that I kind of assumed it was like this every where in the mountains today.
If the post literally reads "MY DAUGHTER HAS AUTISM BECAUSE OF [X] VACCINE" then it's not that hard to refute with scientific literate.

What is much harder to police with a coherent set of guidelines is a facebook page where thousands of moms have each written "I got my child vaccinated and then they developed autism". When a new mom, with little sleep and little background in biological science, who is still on the fence about vaccines, see those thousand posts all together it paints a compelling narrative without ever really having contradicted science.
Is he the sole person responsible for policy on Facebook or is it by commission / shareholders? I often feel like Zucc is getting scapegoated and bears the responsibility for all of Facebook, but I'm not in the loop whether he still holds the majority of shares and policy of FB, etc.

This is a _much_ harder epistemology problem than you are giving it credit for.

Do you know of a way to ensure that a newly-developed effective vaccine has a non-figuratively literally 0% chance that it could cause anti-dependent enhancement or other harms. If so, I'd love to also hear your technique for writing software with absolutely 0 bugs.

Otherwise, we are dependent on trusting institutions to

1. Gather data about the statistical prevalence of harms.

2. Analyse that data and confer with their peers.

3. Broadcast judicious conclusions to the general population.
Yep, you got it :)

That's intriguing. That means that they make significantly more than $8/uyr in selling your personal data to advertisers.
When FB banned right-wing terror groups like Q, they also banned a bunch of leftist sites. Can't they use the same "both sides" logic here? They should ban anti-vaxxer but also ban a bunch of doctors and health officials so it's fair and balanced. \s \s \s

Hiring the CEO of You
Making the Ultimate Basketball Robot
I've been using R professionally for 4 years. I've been a Python programmer for 6 years. I've shipped large scale applications built on both languages to production.

Findings:

I honestly don't get the hype around R's plotting capabilities. ggplot2 is nice, but far too magical to be easily understood by beginners.

Python offers more intuitive memory management than R (which is really more a statement on how bad R is at memory efficiency).

R blows Python out of the water when it comes to expressing concise and readable linear algebra/stats computation. Done right, base R looks like mathematical pseudo-code.

R's non-standard evaluation is an under-appreciated killer feature. I've seen complex and powerful DSLs implemented implemented in base R. Python has some support for this kind of thing, but nowhere near the level of R.

I tried the Tidyverse and found it to be too magical and unstable. In general, the R package ecosystem is weird. Look at Stack Overflow and you'll find people touting all sorts of different packages to do simple operations. Needing to download a million random packages from grad students of the internet is a recipe for disaster.

A third of Americans might refuse a Covid-19 vaccine. How screwed are we?
If the entire article repeatedly referred to the device as a microphone rather than by name, sure, that would be reductionist, and also silly. Fortunately, that's not what happened here, and the device is referred to consistently by brand name in the article.

"While it’s natural to be chiefly concerned about privacy when your apartment comes with an Amazon microphone pre-installed, we should also be critical about where the data extracted from us ends up."

In that one sentence, the actual one from the actual article, the word microphone is accurate and makes far more sense than anything else.

Which word do you have an issue with in the NYT headline, 'reaction'? As in, the 'adversity' faced by this patient may not in fact be a 'reaction' to the vaccine?
The choice you're being presented is not:
1. Shelter in place, -0.1% chance of death
2. Go out and have fun, +0.1% chance of death

But it's actually:
1. Shelter in place, -0.1% chance of death for everyone around you
2. Go out and have fun, +0.1% chance of death for everyone around you

You are choosing to put other people at risk because it makes you happy. It's the same as drunk driving; convenient for you but a risk for everyone. Just because you didn't hit anyone this time doesn't mean it's not selfish and irresponsible.
But the point is that one does this when traditional authorities have already broken down. When large numbers of people refuse to believe legitimate science, it's too late to be worrying about "moral hazards", the damage is already done. This is just an attempt to stem the bleeding by having entities like social media platforms step in and try to assume the role of the authorities that have been rejected.

And yes, I get that your response is going to be something of the form "But how do you KNOW Facebook is actually right?". And again I point out that this is a practical problem and that the subject we are talking about is vaccines (about which you agree, right?), not an abstract idea of Facebook-blessed truth.

I actually did this by accident this summer after coming back from a 2 week vacation and being snowed under by a project immediately left me with about 3-4 weeks of backed up emails - I found that my “rate of required response” even for completely legitimate emails from colleagues and externals went down to (roughly) ~50% from ~90%.

Unfortunately, what this doesn’t capture is the loss of social capital you experience when you ignore people. It’s not worth it in my opinion - Gmail and Outlook both have great canned responses and a simple reply can make people feel heard and respected. That comes in useful if you ever have to emerge from your cave and ask for help. I guess if you’re Napoleon, you don’t need social capital because you run everything, so YnapoleonMMV.
I wonder if Apple would demand that you not refer to an iPhone as a microphone.

We are a culture who loves "reality" tv shows and all the made up drama that goes with it. Facebook just feeds right into that.
Americans are probably the most woke to this, and very self-critical. In a lot of places nobody notices this stuff or feels embarrassed about it like Americans do.

Facebook's fact checking is uniquely bad in that they hire 3rd party fact verifying companies which are also publishers. So if you post something, they can flag it with a "clarification" which links to their own content and drives traffic/revenue to themselves.

Please. A pandemic is ongoing, right? That means a lot of people are getting, spreading, and coming into contact with the virus. The idea that one's infection could be attributed to a single individual is ridiculously unscientific.

This argument is, in fact, so poor that it doesn't even stand muster when we accept your blindingly outrageous premise. Supposing a kid could be blamed for their 90 year old grandpa's illness, do you think grandpa is going to go down screaming, blaming the kid and cursing him for wanting to learn how to read, write, and do multiplication?

Grandpa would probably die to ensure their grandchild has a decent shot at a good life. I know mine would have.
Nope, very likely. In Kansas at least it is explicitly impossible to disclaim an implied warranty or suitability for a particular purpose. Most other states are actually de facto the same -- how can you sell something without it addressing some need of the purchaser?
