This kind of wording is conspiratorial mumbo jumbo. A social media's product is it's platform and software. Their revenue comes from advertising. No one ever told someone watching network TV in the 80s, "you are the product", because that would be ridiculous. It's no less ridiculous to do that with websites and phone apps.

Why can't we just have a frank discussion about advertising and privacy without this kind of manipulative language?

My interpretation is that magical voluntarism is just a newer name for "prosperity gospel". The same criticisms apply- that individuals are somehow fully in charge of their circumstances, that a strong will and focus are all that matter, and if you fail it's because of you, nothing else. In the prosperity gospel it tells people they'll be successful if they are devout and earn God's love, and if they are not successful it is because they haven't earned it from God. As with magical voluntarism, if can and is used to justify all manner of things, including disdain for the poor or sick, because they must have done something wrong to get there.
Fish sticks are definitely hit or miss with Americans. When I was young I had friends who served and ate fish sticks but my family didn't and neither did any of our relatives. We ate fried fish all the time but it was typically fresh caught from a river or lake.

> It's always worth recalling why we bother with set theory.

Because we limit ourselves to First Order logic, which can quantify over only individuals.

In order to quantify over multitudes (sets, groups, whatever) you either need Second Order logic or else a First Order axiomatization of how these multitudes behave.

We chose the latter rather than the former because Second Order logic has no Sound, Complete, and Decidable proof theory. First Order logic does.

That is why we bother with set theory.

I very much enjoy mental models. A close friend and myself have a weekly mastermind where we go over what's happening for us on both a personal and professional level. It keeps us both in check and allows us to come to conclusions more effectively.

I'm referring to the entire chemical industry. This thread is chock full of people saying "Teflon = Bad" when it was manufacturing safety and (maybe) the practice of ignoring warnings and grilling with teflon pans that were bad. It's an amazing material and it would be a shame to see it memed out of existence.

This kind of thing has happened before. If we (USA) hadn't stopped rolling out nuclear in the 80s, we'd be off coal/gas by now, instead of maybe several decades from now after pumping ungodly amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. Anti-vax and anti-fluoride need no introduction. Agrotech probably receives the most hate per unit of actual sin -- it's an odd week that I don't hear someone patting themselves on the back for choosing a product that is almost certain to be worse for the environment because an upscale vendor successfully applied misleading differentiation tactics to convince them of the opposite.

Indiscriminately attacking progress and throwing the baby out with the bathwater has become a national passtime that shows every indication of getting worse before it gets better. Teflon seems to be another instance of this trend.

I remember eating fish sticks as a kid in the late 70's when we were poor. Not sure if it was cheap store bought or a government thing. We also fished a lot and ate that. This is probably why I still have a visceral, somewhat irrational "poor people food" reaction to fish dishes. Does irritate the heck out of my Dad to this day that both his kids have the same reaction. He loves salmon, so not cheap.

Am I the only one that just can't grok what Arrow is doing and how minio in particular made it faster? I read/skimmed this submission and I've worked out this much:

- Arrow is an efficient object format that helps skip serialization

- Spark works in memory

- Minio makes storage of data scalable and cheaper than hard disks

- (from the article) Spark jobs don't (didn't??) saturate the network

- (from the article) Spark jobs needed to write the same data to many buffers to get anywhere (exporting?)

- memory mapped IO is here to help (this seems like they're mixing memory mapped device IO

Is the gist that because arrow does not require much serialization/deserialization, memory mapped network devices can shoot it out to another server (w/ S3 as an intermediary) at network speed, skip the disk, and get used at the destination faster? I guess the other method was program-1 -> disk -> network -> disk -> program-2 and now it's program-1 -> s3 -> program-2 ?
It's not web pages that have driven the demand for more and more processing power. This is a very web-programming-centric way of looking at things.

> on average half of Americans have fish sticks once a year?

It's probably a lot less spread out than that. Some people might like fish sticks. But in my mind, they're something that people give to kids. I haven't had one in decades. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that a large majority of purchased fish sticks are not purchased by someone who intends to eat them.

From a security point of view, the major issue with Rust is still the shallow standard library, a shame the article doesn't emphasizes this and instead lists this as a negligible point. How many will end up using rust wrongly due to the lack of a rand library, or anything cryptography, etc. And that's nothing compared to the lack of a hex encoder/decoder, of a tcp library, of a json library, etc. Compare that to Golang and Rust has a lot to improve on.

Perhaps it's experience with other languages, or the fact that I grew up when that sentence started with C++, but I honestly found rust pretty easy to get up to speed in.

Am I an expert? No, and until I get the chance to use it for a living that won't change. But getting from "I want to do X and Y with this language" to having done so was straightforward enough.

Is Science a Young Man's Game?
Probably because reality is complicated, confusing and boring. What drives up engagement are clear, coherent stories and narratives with twists and turns that leave us shocked or awed. If you want educational content to be engaging, you have to find a way to make a good narrative out of truth. That's what this documentary and all other successful documentaries attempt to do.

But sometimes (most of the time, really) truth just doesn't fit this structure, so to make it engaging, you have to deform and twist it a bit. And if reality is really, actually, mundane, there's not much you can do to make it engaging, whereas it's extremely easy to make engaging, convincing falsehoods about nearly any subject.
I asked a dental hygienist about this: "Why is there a focus on relaxed, spa-like dental practices? Who are these people who are scared of the dentist?"

She said it absolutely came down to past experiences. Apparently there are some really shitty dentists out there, in the sense of causing unpleasant experiences.

If you didn't get one of those as a child, you have no problem with visiting the dentist. If you did, dentists terrify you.

I never really thought about it that way before.
What you say is prone to make people who are not familiar with Go think there will not a safe way to accesses shared data from multiple threads in Go. This is not the truth. In Go, multiple threads could access shared data safely. When the code is implemented correctly (which is easy), these threads will never access the shared data at the same time.

Rust just makes this guarantee in the syntax level (at compiling time), which is different from most other languages, but with the cost of slow code complication, rigid, and not easy to learn.

BTW, what you say shows you don't understand basic Go knowledge at all.
You also need to consider the possibility that it's in the government's interest to allow a certain amount of otherwise-unlawful activity to occur, and make the perpetrators think it's going unnoticed, to trace a broader pattern/catch a bigger fish.
> If you apply for a $10k loan from a bank then, once the loan is approved, the bank will simultaneously:

- increase your current account balance by $10k (credit your current account)
- increase your loan account balance by $10k (debit your loan account)

That $10k deposit appeared from nowhere. You didn't 'put the deposit in', and it wasn't transferred from another customer or another bank. And the bank does not need to have $10k sourced from somewhere else.

This is not correct. A bank lends against its cash assets, not against nothing.

Bank accounting works like so: when you deposit $1 at the bank, the bank’s assets increase by $1 (the $1 you just gave it), and its liabilities also increase by $1 (the bank owes you your dollar back when you want it). A bank’s loans are financed by its assets; each dollar it lends is a dollar taken from the asset side of its balance sheet. When a bank lends you $1, it (1) decrements its asset balance by $1, (2) increments your bank account by $1, (3) creates a new asset representing a $1 loan on its own balance sheet, and (4) creates a new liability for you representing a loan of $1 owed.

Point is, a bank does not create money from absolutely nothing when making loans in the way you describe. All loans are financed by the bank’s assets, and a bank cannot originate a larger value of loans than the value of its cash assets. Bank “money-creation” refers to the fact that the total bank account balances in the economy increase when a bank makes a loan; this happens after what I described in the previous paragraph, since the $1 loan now increments your bank account, while nobody else’s bank account balance decreases.

(To see how this works in more detail, imagine the process begins with Alice depositing a one-dollar bill at the bank, and then the bank loaning Bob one dollar. Keep track of the distinction between who has the one-dollar bill and who has a one-dollar bank account balance. The loan proceeds as follows: first the bank gives Bob the one-dollar bill it took from Alice as a deposit, then Bob turns right around and deposits the one-dollar bill back at the bank. The result is that Alice and Bob now both have $1 bank account balances after the loan is made, whereas only Alice did before; the bank still has the one-dollar bill. Summing either bank account balances alone or balances plus dollar bills shows $1 more after the loan was made.)

You draw the line at the limits of human hearing, which turn out to be about 20 bits from softest audible sounds to "hearing damage inside a minute"and a sample rate of around 48 ksa/s.

CDs weren't quite there. Modern stuff recorded with 24 bit depth and high bit rates is effectively lossless.

One of the goods things about the limitations of the CD format is that we learned a lot about masking noise via dithering (deliberately introducing more noise) and noise shaping.

As an outside observer that seems absurd because the academic requirements and expenses to become a lawyer are high while most major cities don’t even require a four year degree and will pay the cost of the police academy. In some areas of the country police officers earn more than lawyers.
