> much of their populace actually listen to the government recommendations, unlike the American populace

Americas have followed the rules, in almost all regions. People all over the US stopped being social days or weeks before the lockdowns even started.

What are you basing this on?
I wish something like this would work, but there's no way this one will take off.

I don't actually have any idea what it's for. Is it a twitter replacement? facebook competitor? Message board for fantasy nerds?

There's no way mainstream users would go for this. It looks like an 90s fan site for some YA fantasy series. They're going to scoff at this if they stumble on this.

As a technical user looking for something I could setup for small groups to use as an alternative to facebook, I can't even tell if this would work or not. I'm still not 100% this isn't some kind of cute indie mmo...

Math is also manipulated to allow the perception of inequality and oppression to persist. It's not just one side using these propaganda techniques.
Maybe we should question why colleges charge 6-figures for an education like that. Instead of trying to get rid of it entirely.

Not all 1st world countries have data caps. I pay ~20$ for month for 37mbps (15 upload) with no data caps (it's literally the cheapest plan I could find, if there was cheaper available, I would take it).

I feel like it'd be weird to find an auto parts store that wasn't OK with doing repairs in the parking lot. On the one hand, you're going to get a lot of people coming in to buy parts for ad hoc stuff. And on the other, if somebody finds halfway through a battery swap or whatever that they're short a tool they need, where are they going to go to get it?

This advice is all targeted at the technical challenges which, in the language of NSB, are all accidental factors. The essential challenge of video calls is bandwidth; you just don't get the same depth of rich, non-verbal communication. I find I need to turn up my antennae to 11 to really "hear" what people are trying to communicate, which is incredibly exhausting.

Nothing wrong with the advice here, but done perfectly it will take your meetings from a 3/10 to a 6. I was hoping for tips on improving communication.

Marketing guy here.

75%-80% open rate for many of my campaigns tells me the title is misleading, those pixels are firing in all the major providers.

Putting people in email/SMS funnels based on which emails they read is ENOURMOUSLY beneficial to my clients.

This is something that's really very basic.

Client Sells Widgets. He sends 3 emails to email base on small widgets, green widgets and cheap widgets.

If the client opens one of these but not the other, does it not make sense to send further information that is relevant to their interest? I mean, if they open the green widgets email on my funnel, they will be getting A LOT MORE green widget emails because they will be moved from funnel to funnel based on their activity or lack thereof.

Good email tracking is part of good marketing. Something I do see commonly is tech founders looking down on marketing. This leads to low budgets and attracting low quality candidates. Modern marketing tools are like machine guns. And most marketing people are like chimps. So that's why you see silly emails like 'I see you are opening my email, why don't you answer' - which is insane from a marketing point of view, why creep people out? So silly.

Good open rate data gathering results in you not knowing that it's being tracked. You simply get more targeted stuff and less stuff that is outside your interest.

Back in 01 when I started in digital marketing, good attribution of sales and marketing was something people spent 7 digits creating custom solutions. Now we can string a few SAAS providers together and get amazing details. It just needs to be set up intelligently.

Having said all of this: of course I don't allow images to display by default on my email provider. But I'm privacy minded and most people aren't. Which is fine, the world is diverse and that's a good thing. I love choice.
No it’s not. Southern baptists don’t hate gay people, they hate gayness and want to save you from eternal hellfire. Of course it’s asinine and backwards but it’s completely different than nazis and klansmen.
As long as it is used against Nazis, definitely. I mean, we can all agree that Nazis are bad.

The problem is when governments go against legitimate opposition and abuse social pressure.
We’re from TheVentureCity's Product-Led Growth Bootcamp. AMA
Hi, I’m Ricardo, one of the mentors & am the VP of Startup Growth at TheVentureCity.

Earlier I was the Head of Latin America for Pinterest, and the Head of Growth, Engagement and Mobile in South America for Facebook.

Founders will learn about how best to design user-centric products, acquire customers, and make data-driven decisions. At the end of the 5-day course two startups will be considered to join TheVentureCity’s Growth Accelerator Program, a five-month experience that includes a $100,000 investment. https://theventure.city/product-led-growth-week

I'm really happy to answer any questions.
Housing, medical, and education have gone insane with respect to price.

Additionally lot's of work has gone to poor people around the world - modern transportation and communication has allowed the living standard of the world to greatly increase. When looking at the global level, the reduction in poverty has been amazing.

So this problem has 2 sides - heavily regulated domains have seen a huge price increase, and low skill work has been stagnant as it's been spread around the world.
This comment is the most conniving one I have heard in awhile. To paraphrase, your argument is convincing and it’s similar to those who blame it on the “SJW” types so let’s shift the argument on over to those supposed people.

So many assumptions piled onto assumptions about people.
You do know your comment history is public, right? Your comments have been fairly clustered on one topic, and this isn't the only one you've largely copy-pasted. Now, I'm fairly open to the possibility that you are just someone who is not acquainted with the rules and has an interest in those subjects, but in general engaging in conversations about only one fairly political topic and making repetitive (read: low effort and easy to spam) makes your contributions seem very hard to distinguish from someone who is trying to wage ideological battle on the site.

In the late 1990s my school sold itself mostly as a way to get a high paying job. There was a clear disconnect between admissions (the salespeople), the professors, and the students.

The salespeople: College is a way to get a high paying job.

The professors: College is about exploring academic subjects.

The students: College is a rite of passage to be part of the upper-middle-class.

IMO, the only way to fix the system is to be stricter about who gets into college, and more lenient about who's hired for professional jobs. Also, we need more trade schools.
The FP64 units are a separate addition that eat a lot of die space, right? I wouldn't use the word "nerf" for the tradeoff between having more SMs versus having more features in the SMs.
Thank you for posting this, saves me the trouble :-)

I re-read Deleuze's three-page paper every year. It really describes things well.
>Spoofing distorts the market by making it appear that there is much more liquidity and demand or supply. Distorted markets are, theoretically, bad for various reasons. Commodities markets are underpinned by the idea of real price discovery happening: supply meeting demand at an agreeable price. Fake supply or demand undercuts this goal.

Does this logic apply to non-financial field? If someone (person X) creates a fake demand for a SaaS service Y and company Z builds service Y, should X pay money because Z decided to build Y, without a written contract between X and Z?
I wish that it’s just a step in the master plan to market plain old dumb TVs. Too bad it won’t really happen, the best outcome would be a few more pi-holes or similar devices installed.
I was eager to transfer my domains, but they still require to set nameservers to CloudFlare's, so that's still not a completely free registry-cost registrar in my book.

Having ~20 active domains, and a good registrar with reasonable prices is good enough and the potential $20-50 savings per year really isn't that meaningful if I have to move my nameservers to CloudFlare.
> we try to piece together the truth from all the sources and from what isn't said

I'm skeptical that this can be done effectively
There's quite a bit of data supporting the fact that there are less moderates today and both sides are less civil to one another when compared to the past, mostly because echo chambers reduce our exposure to perspectives outside of our own, and in aggregate, it makes us less receptive when we rarely do encounter opposite beliefs.
It's worth noting that this recommendation has nothing to do with delivered power.... a 500W can handle most systems on delivered power.

This has to do with transients, the 3000 series cards have some massive transients that can easily trip OCP protection on powersupplies not designed for that kind of transient. A 700W powersupply is able to handle those transients much better than a 500W PSU is.
For Outlook and Thunderbird yes, I am not sure about the support in Apple Mail and webmail clients.
I recently switched as well and am very happy. I don't think that re-configuring takes much longer that the average distro would especially because a lot of services you can just say `services.foobar.enable = true` and get a decent default config. You only need to spend your time configuring the things that you are picky about.

And yes, the fact that I can configure all of my systems with a shared set of configs and have consistent and reproducible environments is fantastic.

I wrote up my thoughts about the switch here: https://kevincox.ca/2020/09/06/switching-to-desktop-nixos/
Newton did. If a BA and MA count as humanities degrees.
I tried that, but didn't like how the Chromecast phoned home all the time to make sure I was authorized to play the phone was also authorized to be played on a TV. I was surprised that some apps specifically disallowed this.

I ended up with an AppleTV. So far, if it plays on my phone, it will play on the TV, too.

Additionally,

* People will not behave "acceptably" without constant social monitoring. This is similar to the Puritan belief that, if you didn't live in a town where your neighbors could watch you, you could be assumed to be worshiping Satan.

* That the best modern form of that social monitoring is 24/7 surveillance with merits and demerits for trivial things.
And the consequences of building such a reactor.

At the height of the Chernobyl disaster, calculations were suggesting a vast swath of Europe could be rendered uninhabitable by humans for several generations in the melt-to-groundwater-detonation scenario. As it stands, an area of diameter slightly smaller than the length of Manhattan is still considered high-risk for permanent habitation.
There are viable competitors, but none of them are willing to offer dirt-cheap service like Cloudflare is, and that's really a shame. Fastly, akamai, etc. focus entirely on Enterprise and don't see making their product accessible to small business/personal project sites as a worthy business venture (which it probably isn't), so that leaves most SMB/personal sites the choice of either hoping they don't get attacked, using/paying for AWS/GCP DDOS protection, just not running their site, or using Cloudflare.
Ahh, found it - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_speed_record#Steam. "Claimed" means it's surely to be taken with at least a grain of salt.
I wrote a book once. I could do it again, but I haven't found a reason. It's a hell of a lot of work.

I think one thing that helps, is to have a "timeless topic." People still read Knuth's stuff, and Steve McConnell's Rapid Development is just as valid today, as it was, 25 years ago.
This is why Real Names is such an evil idea.

Yes, I’m using a strong word. Evil actually means something in this context though.

Real Names is a way to lock your social behavior to your persona, and then to sell that data in real time to the highest bidder.

Forums such as this one allow me to use my real name if I want to, but because they don’t require this, they have no way of algorithmically associating Alex Young the person with alex_young the account.
This title is like something out of Star Trek mumbo-jumbo. Surely a title made out of that summary at the top would make more sense.
First of all, note that I did not talk at all about parties. I talked about left and right. Historically, the parties that represent right and left (or how much to the right and left they skew) has changed; which ideas fall in the category of left and right thinking have not as much.

It seems that your stance is based on the idea that a large group of people simply adopts one viewpoint or another arbitrarily, that those solutions have not changed over time, and that because of this we should treat them with equal merit. I believe this is wrong, for a number of different reasons.

First, it ignores the outcomes of the actual policies as well as the framework of thinking that it supports. Someone who has a "different take" whose outcome changes whether I or my friends can afford health care or not is not an "equal but opposite" philosophy.

To build on that, because it ignores the actual outcomes and treats all ideas as equal, it supports a framework of hyper-partisan thinking, the idea that ideology is about who you are loyal to. In this framework, your belief makes sense: just because we're loyal to different parties doesn't mean we can't be friends! But again, it ignores the very real implications of those beliefs.

Finally, it also concludes that solutions to these problems, and the people who are in charge of supporting them, cannot evolve and improve, only be renewed as a way to for members of a party to pledge loyalty. Bernie is not a perfect leftist, and has certainly had some shitty takes and policies; sometimes people get better (and sometimes they don't). As our understanding of the plight of the common people grows and adjusts to the new realities we are faced with, different solutions will evolve on the left, and that is good.
Making Computers Better
If a page hosted on amazon.com has security vulnerabilities, users real amazon accounts are at risk because of same-origin policy etc. Putting a page on a different domain eliminates this risk.

Another reason is for branding. Using aboutamazon.com for PR fluff keeps amazon.com reserved for their actual consumer products.
Martin Kleppmann is a great speaker, if you have a chance watch any of his talks on youtube.

The book itself is also great, it gives an amazing lay of the land when it comes to databases / database methodologies and algorithms.

SE Unlocked 27: “How I got a job at Spotify during a pandemic” Emma Bostian
Two examples:

1: My 18-year-old nephew decided to attend classes online. No sense paying for room and board if he can't do anything fun while he's there.

2: My neighbor's son decided to delay his senior year. No sense paying full tuition if he can't be there in person.
Yup, and I could see governments demanding that these devices have "lawful interception" capability, allowing the biometric data to be scooped up with individual warrants, or in bulk with a National Security Letter, to "catch all the terrorists".
I purchased a Samsung TV about two years ago for $1,200. It was my first 4K TV and I loved it. I made the purchase around the same time I dropped my cable subscription, I just couldn't stand the advertisements anymore.

The panel was thin (with almost no bezels), the picture quality was superb and I was sold on the "Smart TV" features like having built in access to Netflix, etc. For a while it was great, then I noticed the ads showing up on the bottom left of the bottom menu. Now my TV is as slow as molasses and I hate it. Picture quality is still good, but Samsung ruined it with their software. I refuse to purchase another Samsung TV which really frustrates me because I love their panels.

I'm currently looking to disable the internet on it and use a Fire Stick, Roku, or other. Anyone have any suggestions?
Sadly, you're no longer just buying an education. You're now forced to pay for an entire country club experience and all the administration required.
>Dirac and Bohr obviously cleared that bar but that doesn't mean those with less discipline can't do so.

See how silly that sounds when you change the subject to something that we know is difficult. "Being an adult" is even more open ended. What does it mean, who defines it? Do you have to be "An Adult" to get elected to office and make rules that others have to follow? Is "An Adult" necessary to implement features on a website that dictate how people interact with each other?

I agree with your agreement statement. Infantile grownups in the past generally did not have a global audience in which they could wreak havoc with, and there issues tended to be local in context.

Very interesting comment, thank you!
If anyone else is dealing with this you can try temporarily setting up a new SSID (on your phone or existing network) and then getting rid of it after setup is finished.
Akamai performs admirably (perhaps even better?) just that they're not as active as Cloudflare employees around these parts.

The CDN space is rife with healthy competition all around, especially with 5G around the corner, but sure, Cloudflare seems to move the quickest and probably has the strongest product vision that resonates with news.yc crowd, a lot. Nothing inherently good or bad about that: In fact, I seem to enjoy using their products as a developer more than other Cloud vendors.
Technologists need to build tools that are privacy-first.
Bandwidth is useful because it most directly corresponds to deployed physical hardware. If other providers have made that capital investment, taking customers away from Cloudflare is a matter of gradually rolling out features to meet their needs. Not trying to trivialize the effort, but it seems doable.
Maybe I am alone but I disagree and agree here. I agree that rich people know how to spend less but one does not become rich on savings alone. It takes the ability to make value out of nothing whether it be your the lord of feudal lands which you rented out to peasants or online book company that made buying and selling slightly easier. Those people made money because they made value. Not just saved value.

I think this well intentioned advice can actually act as a hindrance to escaping poverty. If you spend a ton of your time walking through the grocery story saving a couple bucks buying cheaper eggs you really lost a lot of your potential earns in that time you spent. Because this is a behavior you will repeat and repeat and the accumulation of this time is a net minus on what you could have saved if you spent that time learning a valuable skill. I think that's why any major uptick in peoples wealth is usually (not always) correlated by education. Places with smarter people tend to have more money because smart people generally speaking know how to create value.
Good Q. I think it’s a nuanced distinction. Helping too much can too often lead to a lack of empowerment, IMO. The idea that you can’t help yourself, so you must be led along by another as if you were a child. I think empowerment requires helping, but helping through “nudges,” if that makes sense

The Pointless Sizeof Discussion
How about some high level overview of what they're trying to do instead of a spec? Not going to read the spec based on 'you're lazy, go read the spec'.
Can someone expand on why the book is so good? I found it very unremarkable but it's recommended so much around here that I suspect that I've missed something important.
I think this depends where you're driving. If you're at 130kmh in a 70hp subcompact, something perfectly common in Europe, you're pretty close to max power..
The most "proper" way to do this is splitting the result into interface + implementation. For example if you are dynamically linking to a library instead of being given access to the entire library you are given a simplified "signature" which has the minimal amount of info required to linking. This interface would change when you add or remove a function, but not when a function body changes.

The example was given for linking but this can be done for many steps of the build process.
It's alluded to in the Quanta Mag article, but it's worth repeating the information from the NANOgrav discovery paper[0], as stated in the paper's abstract:

However, we find no statistically significant evidence that this process has quadrupolar spatial correlations, which we would consider necessary to claim a GWB detection consistent with General Relativity.

So I'm inclined to think that all the "explanation" papers are premature. It's an interesting (low-significance) signal in the data, but more data are needed.

How I made a €2 ACTUATOR
I do all my work on the street because I don't have a garage or driveway. I live in an upscale neighborhood ($2m homes average). There's not much of an issue with it. People look but that's about it.

Doing work in the parking lot of an auto parts store is very normal.
