"has already been the scenario for years" and the article is from 2016 - I take 30mg Adderall each morning and have since being diagnosed, its really helped me but it 100% shouldn't be used by certain people.

> simple install process for your users

Those are the pertinent words. Yes, folks like us have no issue going to Terminal.app and `brew install whatever`, but most "regular" users are going to baulk at that idea.
Oh, I mean, I think the bubbles have shifted to some degree historically depending on culture and conflict but did largely remain within the scope possible with in person interaction. Exposure to groups outside an individual's own has grown with every communication invention as well, from books to newspapers to radio to phones to the internet.

Social media I think does, however, represent an exponential growth in how much "outside perspective" people are exposed to, as well as the intrusiveness of those perspectives. All those other communication inventions required filtering perspectives through layers of privilege (media, basically).

On social media though I can post a tweet about my lunch and have someone from across the ocean tell me I deserve to die for who I am in the replies to it. No one in history has ever had to face that level of forced interaction on so mundane a social act until now.

And that's why we put up walls. To get back to where we were 20 years ago. Not because we can't handle "disagreement", but because when I'm eating lunch I don't want to be told I don't deserve to live.
How did you get into the expert witness line of work?
I gave fish a serious try last year, and really loved the command-line completion, but the vi mode editing was a deal-breaker. It's minimally usable, in particular it doesn't support command combinations like dt/ ct/ ; d0 etc... In the end I found a history completion plugin for zsh that worked as well as fish, and ended up going back to zsh.

The vi mode issue seems pretty hard to resolve, like have to completely reimplement the editing hard. You can, as an alternative, drop to a real editor if you need a real editor for the command. Here's the issue related to it: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4019

It's very interesting, but I'm pretty dead set on vi history editing, so it wasn't for me.

Those optimizations make it possible for prices to keep dropping, for food to be very cheap and plentiful. Global hunger has dropped to an all time low, since 1950 or so, because of that.

Yes, squeeze that marginal profit, please. I was born in communism, and guess what, we did not have 20 flavors of yogurt to choose from, or supermarkets for that matter. In Eastern Europe we counted ourselves very lucky to have plain yogurt, which was rationed.

Joy and happiness aren't the point, those are just nice to have. Putting food on the table is the point.

And having a flavor of yogurt discontinued, out of dozens, due to profit margins, is a first world problem and it affects only the rich.
How are you going to address the fact that the same letter (even in the Latin alphabet) can have wildly different outlines? Just look at the character "a": some are circular, others have the "hook" over it. Or the "&": some are more like a continuous stroke, others spell "et".
Exactly. I really thought the blog author was implying there 14 GET requests rather than the title just appearing as a meta data through the page.
The Google+ push definitely provided some activation energy, but unifying accounts---and more importantly, building out a framework for account unification given that Google knows it will continue to build new applications and purchase companies that must be integrated against its existing applications---had been a goal for a while.

It was becoming a game of technological whack-a-mole on Google's back end to manage account information across apps. For example, was a user logged into Gmail also logged into YouTube? Were they logged in as the same person? How do resources get unified across different apps, since that's behavior users assume should work? What applications had authority to act on a user's behalf, in what contexts, And can we provide a better way to support that functionality than requiring a user to give their whole password to a third-party system? And when an account had to be banned for being abusive, what precisely got banned? previous to account unification, it was a shotgun depending on who did the banning and in what context.

True names was, in my opinion, a misstep. The account unification goal was a great idea.
> I'm a little more understanding of people who use these to determine how much dead weight their mailing list has. Especially if you're an indie creator, you don't want to be paying for the 20% of people who might not be reading your newsletter. I don't mind a "please let us know if you're reading our newsletter" email as long as they're not obnoxious about it.

I semi regularly use the prune feature of my mailing list client to get rid of people who haven’t opened emails recently. I suppose this may be removing active subscribers? If so, is there another way to achieve this goal? (Removing non-active members helps reduce spam reports and helps with deliverability I think)

It's not a solved problem (since really testing a wall design requires a working high power source of fusion neutrons), and it's not clear it can be solved in a sufficiently practical way. Indeed, the ability of the first wall to withstand the energy flowing through it will likely cause DT fusion reactors to have low volumetric power density, with sad effects on their economics.

The for-profit prison industry, who use incarcerated people as labor for pennies an hour, has enough political sway in this country that I have reluctantly accepted that these reforms are essentially never going to happen in my lifetime.
The expensive ones don't work that well either. My kitchenaid cost $1k and it sucks. Maybe a Miele or Bosch will work better.. they are more but honestly I just want one that cleans reliably.

New toilets are awful.. just terrible.
Very interesting and helpful !
The ALUs are capable of half precision regardless of the tensor cores and aren’t restricted.

For “tensor ops” in GeForce cards FP16 with FP32 accumulate is done at half rate so you don’t get double the performance which you do get in Quadro and Titan cards using the same die.
General surveillance by an employer without probable cause is illegal here in Germany, and thank god for that. Lab animals probably have more privacy than the people working for that company. I'll never understand how we got to the point where we're reasonable enough to demand privacy in our lifes half of the day but the other half we're willing to revert to some 19th century Jeremy Bentham like panopticon prison.
> Me (AMAB, uses label "man"): I don't "feel like a man". That's not what being a man means to me.

I mean... it is what being a man means to you, because that's what you "feel" being a man is.

You are a single cell in a culture. You can't decide for anyone other than yourself what it means to be, say, a Man, a (certain religion), a (I dunno, gamer?). These are identities and they're based on your feelings. Sometimes you'll bump into someone else that uses the same word to describe that identity. Say two "gamers" bump into eachother. Both would say "I am a gamer." One has never played Mario and the other has never played Halo. "You're not a gamer!" they say to eachother.

Of course, when we're talking about gender and sex, there's a lot more at stake, and a lot more historical and cultural tendrils to pick apart. Regardless, whatever it means to you to "be a man," is entirely on you. You don't get to decide for me what it means to "be a man," and therefore you don't get to decide for a trans man what it means either.

On that same note, my definition of what it is to "be a man" has no bearing whatsoever on your manliness or identity! You can feel safe in your identity regardless of what the rest of us are doing. What, are you not confident in your own identity? That's a separate issue, and it's not trans men's fault that you feel that way.
Ironically, one of the things that's worst about being online is often the lack of social control. By now, just about everyone has hadone of their previously normal-seeming friends or relatives go on an insane political rant on Facebook, or had a Twitter troll show up in their replies, or read just about any comment on YouTube. People act in these horrible ways because they can, because real or effective anonymity lets them do so without disapproving looks from people whose approval matters to them.

The solution to privacy issues is not to make everyone anonymous. (Nobody ever actually puts it that way, but a lot of people suggest solutions that basically amount to the same thing.) Under-identification is as much of a problem as over-identification. Reputation and social pressure also prevent a lot of bad behavior. For that to happen, we still need people's identity to have some continuity ... and that's where pseudonyms come in. Go look at the examples in the OP. Practically all of them involve some kind of "leakage" from one part of a person's life to another. This is the same problem that has existed since before computers, with people having safe persistent identities within one community until they're "outed" to the broader one. If people had more control over the different parts of their identity, to connect them or not as they see fit, these things couldn't happen. Better technical and social support for pseudonyms might not be a panacea, but it would certainly go a long way.
I meant no disrespect. If I read into your reply here, I think you feel that I am saying that anyone who is "not a perfect leftist" is "shitty"? On reflection I can see how that would be interpreted.

What I meant to wrote was 3 separate points:

- Bernie is not a perfect leftist

To be clear: I don't hold Bernie to the standard of being a "perfect leftist," rather stating the obvious that he is not one. And while I would love a candidate that agreed more with my viewpoints than him, I don't think he's a bad person because he doesn't.

- Bernie has had some shitty takes and policies

I do believe that Bernie Sanders, the politician, has not always wielded his power in my best interest; for instance, voting for the "Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists" joint resolution that has been used as justification for our military presence in the middle east. I would, in a glib way, rate that vote and the opinions he gave during that time as a "shitty take." I don't think that disrespects him as a person.

- Sometimes people get better (and sometimes they don't)

Sometimes people evolve their politics and beliefs as they learn more and the material conditions which they exist in change, which is good. Sometimes they do not, and that's bad. I do not think that adopting strictly leftist beliefs - of which there are a cacophony of differing, conflicting ones - is inherently good. Rather the lack of evolution is bad.
This essay includes a list of bad actors (intelligence, political parties,trolls,others). I suspect, based on nothing really, that the list should dedicate an entry to "shady investors". Social media is perfectly suited for pumping/dumping assets by goading the public into a frenzy.
I don't know what all the client is doing with the title, but passing it down as a plain text string 14 times can actually be more efficient than doing so once and having client-side JS update all the various tags/divs which need it.
Well, live-performance grade cardioid microphone on a stand in front of your mouth is probably the one thing that will work acceptably well with speakers. Glad I asked :) But it's really an outlier setup you have there.

But lack of an echo is not proof that the setup works, because the problem with echo cancellation is that it is too aggressive, not too subtle. There is no echo when you use the shitty ambient microphone that is 2cm away from your laptops builtin speakers.

But in removing that echo, the software is also removing your voice from the call signal, or other people's voices from your speakers' signal. The symptoms are more subtle, but you and others will miss parts of the call when you speak over each other (or in rapid succession). This creates a lot of "huh? can you hear me?" or weird interruption timings.

Try having someone on the other side of a Zoom call that wears a proper headset, then both of you can turn on "original audio" mode on Zoom. You can actually speak over each other like you would be able to do in person, and back and forth is much more natural, especially if there is more than 2 people having a discussion.

PS: Keep in mind I do 10-12 hours of calls a day, and a lot of them are sales and/or management which requires a lot of active careful listening. My standards can be slightly unreasonable for a more normal use case (say, if you are a developer and do two meetings a day where people take turns to talk).
Depending on the time frames in question, it easily could have been that Japan and Taiwan had massively faster internet on average. Ten years ago, a 10Mbit connection here in the US seemed to be pretty dang fast.[0] However, speeds in many metro areas in the US have massively caught up to the rest of the world. Rural areas are still often left in the cold, but in many cities its not uncommon to find 200Mbit+ residential internet connections available. And like I've mentioned elsewhere, gigabit is available in literally hundreds of towns in the US. The average AT&T internet user these days has ~99Mbit, the 90th percentile having 323Mbit.[1] I doubt that was the case even five years ago. So its not a case of Japan or Taiwan's major fiber metro areas getting destroyed, but more of the US finally getting good metro fiber deployed to more customers. Maybe the internet hasn't changed in the last decade where you're at in the US, but its very different in many other areas.

Of course this speaks nothing to the average prices these consumers pay. However, its probably a lot cheaper to wire up an area less than the size of California (Japan + Taiwan) with a much more massive population density. If everything else was equal (its not) it would have surprised me for internet to have been more expensive in Japan or Taiwan than in the US.

> Freedom is fragile. I won't give one inch here because they will shatter it

I suggest self-restraint and holding yourself to a higher standard before passing around harmful judgements. The farther you cast your accusations, the higher the standard. Who are "they" here?
> But if you’d taken the ‘Manhattan Project’ approach and thrown 10x as much money at fusion research 20 years ago we’d most likely have spent most of it on a super-ITER.

Or maybe someone would have had enough sense to think "you know, what we really need is better superconducting magnets. Let's throw 1% of the budget at that problem."
So collapse is...life goes on.
About time to consider alternative paths to fusion.

ITER and similar projects are abject failures from non-scientific perspectives, they fail to improve on the economic weaknesses of fusion (radiological waste, massive capital costs, scarcity of fuel, proliferation risk), and only deliver on issues that have become irelevant for modern fision, like the risk of a meltdown.

There is zero economic potential for any ITER direct descendant.
The sensor dry on ours is a joke. Thankfully I have options to set the time and temp manually.

> The solution is not to just throw UBI money at them and warehouse them in apartments like cattle

What would be wrong with targeted career replacement income? Instead of throwing a little money at everybody, completely fund the remainder of careers at the functionally obsolete/long-term disabled/otherwise unhirable. Then create incentives to hire these individuals that outpace offshoring/outsourcing/automation.

Either they get a good job that replaces what they lost, or enjoy getting what their career promised - including sizable wage increases.
Agreed. I have heard many positive things about Germany's "career funnels," for want of a better term. Something they could definitely improve on in the USA.

I seem to be guilty of America-centrism again, my apologies.

I should clarify that my point has less to do with hormones specifically and more about how this comment section is applying a double standard of healthiness to meat alternatives generally. When it comes to industrial meat production if it ain’t one thing it’s another: feed quality/chemicals, handling/sale of diseased meat, animal waste on food, antibiotic use, etc.

It is also worth noting that as we speak the UK seems to be reconsidering it’s ban of hormones in meat as part of Brexit with pressure from the US.
An object has no legal and criminal responsibility.

If I keep you handcuffed then I am criminally responsible, not the handcuffs.

If you use a machine/tool/system to keep someone in servitude, or imprisoned, or whatnot, you are the one committing a criminal offence, not the machine.

For that to change we would probably need (a) fully autonomous AIs, and (b) that these AIs and society have reached a state such that these AIs are legally no longer considered as machines but effectively as human beings/individuals.
I have a small baked goods business and spend a lot of time doing research. Allrecipes is pretty legit.

I still prefer cookbooks over anything else because what’s missing from AR is technique plus many of the most popular recipes will opt for using heavily processed ingredients or mixing in premade food.

I don’t think I’ve attempted the most popular Italian recipes on the site but from what I’ve seen they would be pretty good but I would steer you or anyone else to far superior sources such as Italia Squisita and Pasta Grannies on YouTube.

But the strength in all recipes as a platform is that people can report in on what substitutions actually work.
Lack of empathy is expected from people defending mob justice.
Kubernetes Pods and ReplicaSet explained [video]
Well I think the question becomes, what sort of situations are actually happening, and then what capability is needed to mitigate those situations? If an area's data says that there are enough people whose position we know, but because they didn't get rapid, low level stabalizing triage care they ended up dying then a system like this might make sense. But if most of the cases involve searching, higher level care, an eventual medevac anyways, or any combination of the above, a SAR organization is probably going to need a helicopter anyways. If you already have a helicopter with hoist capability, then it will probably be hard to make the math justify the additional expense.

While having a smaller fleet of helicopters induces a smaller number of critical failures, if the advantage is the amount of time it takes to get to a location, you'd need a lot of jetpacks to be spread out enough to beat a helicopter. With an advertised endurance of 5-10 minutes, this won't do more than get you a small hop to a remote location. The searching and most of the traversing is going to have to be done by some other vehicle. If every 4x4,truck or ground search party needs to have one of these (and be trained to operate it proficiently), I have a hard time believing that you aren't going to be quickly running an operation that's more expensive then a helo operation. That being said, maybe some areas could use this. Perhaps a place with canyons or cravasses, where people could fall down but rescuers could still mostly move rapidly using ground vehicles.

As far as the downwash, while it is a concern it's also something that can be managed. The heavier the aircraft (more equipment, endurance, and reliability) , the more downwash. This jetpack has a small down wash footprint (but I bet it's still really high under the jets since it's a pure thrust aircraft) but the tradeoff is in endurance and equipment.

But again, there might be some areas that could benefit from it, but I think it's a solution looking for a problem. Other than the gee wiz factor, I doubt any of the SAR agencies in the US would set up a system like this.
I wasn’t really arguing anything.

If I was, it would be, don’t rely on supposedly biodegradable plastic. Do they really do anything in a biologically inert environment?
