Well maybe it's what everyone else wants. Either way it's just the default they're changing, one good thing about grouping in Plasma is it lets you exclude certain applications so you can exclude your PDF viewer. Alot of other environments give an all or nothing approach.
Yeah, but there's also a very very close to zero percent chance that people labelled as "deniers" are actually saying the Holocaust never happened. The sibling comment seems to reinforce this intuition and in fact the article groups "deniers" with people who "distort" the Holocaust. That would appear to encompass any historian who attempted to disagree with any aspect of the historical record at all, in any way.

How many people have you ever met, or even heard of directly, that claim the Holocaust never happened? I can honestly say I couldn't name a single one, not even in places like the USA where they'd be able to make such speech under the First Amendment (not on Facebook). I've only ever heard about such people indirectly, via what censors claim about them.

Now how many people do you see who throw around the term "Nazi" like it's a schoolyard insult? That happens every day. I see people being compared to Nazis all the time, right here on HN which claims to have strong moderation.

The likelihood of this sort of censorship being applied to people who literally deny the Holocaust is tiny. Facebook have spent 2020 routinely censoring scientists who don't agree with the WHO, even though the WHO changes its mind every five minutes. Many of the people in high places in these companies seem to believe any disagreement with authority is worthy of censorship. They are not free speech absolutists who make an exception for truly dire cases.

That money is not being "donated." It is patronage because some people value my writing. Some of them have explicitly stated they were willing to join my Patreon because of my track record of hitting the front page of HN with unique content about homelessness and related issues. For example:

My point was not that I am "diverting funds" away from sites that typically cost little or nothing to run other than my time and effort. My point is that I am already surviving on freelance work and some Patreon support and the like and I already have a body of work pertinent to this problem space. See also:

So basically you are saying “the President of the United States did not say the totally crazy thing you said he did, rather, he said something less crazy which was both incomprehensible and totally irresponsible.”

Is that correct?

I say it this because at this point, it’s not as if we are dealing with a honest broker known for truthfulness, so, especially since everyone seemed to understand exactly what I was referring to and the “bleach” thing was a common point of mockery across media and late-night television, aren’t we kind of missing the forest for the trees?

The forest of course is a President who is utterly irresponsible and has contributed to the unnecessary deaths of over 200,000 Americans.

I absolutely apologize for and retract my incorrect description. Can we now talk about the reality of a covid-diagnosed President walking around in public without a mask?

Or does someone want to diddle and play and parse with words again?

As someone who is unfamiliar with economic development/planning, I'd be much more likely to engage with you if I understood what the scope of services such activity entails.

I imagine that many in your target market may be in a similar situation.

The phrase "planning and economic development" brought a number of ideas to mind, like designing public incentives to attract local businesses, providing support for such businesses, identifying "holes" in the local economy that businesses can be encouraged to fill, marketing the local area to businesses elsewhere, etc.

But I'm guessing that I'm probably missing some important pieces to the puzzle, and your site doesn't give me many specifics to go on.

I wonder if (especially in small communities) folks might not understand what you're offering. If so, they might not engage with you because they (like me) aren't knowledgeable about such services/activities.

It might be helpful to provide a sense of the services/resources you're offering and some verbiage that fleshes this out a bit. A quick web search turned this[0], among other stuff up, but I'm not clear if that's even applicable to the communities you wish to serve.

While the goals you discuss seem to be both meritorious and have significant potential to help small communities, it might be helpful to provide more concrete examples as to what your services seek to accomplish, and provide some resources to give interested people a better understanding of what "planning and economic development" actually entails.

What you're proposing seems to have a lot of potential and could help smaller communities to prosper. I hope you have much success!

How bad were things for you prior to the firmware update that fixed RPi 4 temp?

I tested on those, but not for performance, just for temperature under max CPU load. I remember getting the impression that a Pi 4 working under that kind of load, and throttling pretty constantly, would probably suffer roughly a 15% performance degradation but I didn't test that assumption much.

I had a funny moment during testing of comparing an 8GB and 4GB Pi 4, each with different revisions of the firmware, and wondering how the hell the temperatures could be so different.
I don't have the history wrong. We're just talking about the same people at different points in time.

Think about what generations would be in the workforce in 1980.
"As far as I’m concerned, administering it to infected patients now constitutes medical malpractice. I have no interest in goalpost-moving efforts to say that they didn’t administer zinc or azithromycin, or they picked the wrong patients or the wrong loading dose or whatever. No."

The original treatment protocol included zinc, so it's nonsense to say that adding in zinc is "moving the goalpost". Not testing in combination with zinc is moving the goalpost. The interaction between zinc and HCQ is key. Azithromycin is just to prevent potential secondary bacterial infection, which isn't necessarily a big factor in COVID mortality.

"This is special pleading, and it is not backed up by any hard data."

Here's a study that showed adding zinc to HCQ reduced mortality by 50%:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32930657/

Unfortunately, that study didn't test zinc without HCQ, but the hypothesis is that HCQ acts as an ionophore and is therefore beneficial.

Thank you for taking the time to link the article, that was a very good read.

I find it a stunning display of arrogance that journalists feel free to rewrite history in spite of multiple historians telling them that they are flat out wrong. Do they not understand that by doing these mental gymnastics to fit history to their biases, they are acting in bad faith exactly like a certain politician lying for public approval?

> Companies can use automation to grow their output while keeping their workforce intact by taking on new projects that were not previously possible.

This idea does not scale. It assumes that there is no upper limit for demand/production, and assumes that a business can suddenly gain the expertise to enter new markets to sell new products. It also assumes that investors would prefer risky reinvestment strategies to cutting costs by reducing labor and increasing short term profits.

> If automation were that dangerous, then being a software developer should be the worst job because it automates itself away

Automation goes after the easiest targets first. IT is still growing because it is an immature profession, and a platform for automation itself. I remember IT in the late 90s - basically anyone who could operate a computer could get a job doing installs. In fact my first job was adding Trumpet Winsock to machines that didn't have any built-in way to access the internet. A few years later you could still make decent money installing and configuring operating systems. Those jobs are long gone and replaced by SCCM and other similar tools. They have been replaced by jobs that require much more technical skill. Entire teams are replaced every day by outsourcing to automation platforms like AWS, because those platforms can provide the same services with fewer employees.

A better example is farming or manufacturing. Take a look at productivity versus employment since 1900.[1]

> This anti-automation rhetoric is like children hating school while their parents force them to attend - preferring short term ease that comes with a much bigger long term penalty (temporal discounting at work).

No, it's a pretty straightforward recognition that retraining even a few percent of any given workforce every year is going to lead to massive inequality and social problems, especially when there is no infrastructure to provide for living costs while a worker gets retrained. A manufacturing worker can be retrained to a better job, but how long do you think it would take to educate that person so they could design and maintain the machines that replace them? How much would that cost? Who is going to pay for it? And if demand for the product is flat, does it make any sense?

It's also a recognition that we are nearing peak production of practically everything. Developed nations are leveling off and declining in population. Around a third of our food is discarded. Ride-sharing is reducing demand for cars. E-commerce is able to offer discounts because it uses less labor. We are now at the point where major technology vendors have resorted to designing addictive experiences to compete for attention. What's left after that is saturated? I'm almost afraid to ask.

Here's an old video of a cluster with 3000 RPis:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78H-4KqVvrg
Has anyone actually convincingly argued that automation reduces the net number of jobs over time? My impression is that this belief entails a kind of parochialism about job loss, i.e., that it merely tracks the specific kinds or manifestations of jobs that automation has rendered obsolete while ignoring either the fact that particular occupations remain but now make use of new, more sophisticated methods, or the new jobs created by the needs and complexities introduced by new technologies.

Think of our ancestors. How many occupations were there? Arguably fewer than we have today. Certainly, your great grandmother had to wash the dishes herself, but we didn't have factory workers at dishwasher manufacturing plants, dishwasher repairmen, dishwasher dealers, and so on. With the introduction of the dishwasher, there is a reduced need for human dishwashers, but the technology also introduced a whole new industry in its place to support it.

I almost want to say that some law of conservation or even entropy is observed. We are exchanging one kind of burden for another or potentially many.

I would try to look for academic papers on the topic. Even if you can’t find an exact match, papers typically have a section that describes other related work. You can also scan through the citations to see if anything might be a match. If there’s some relevant paper, you’ll probably find it after searching through a few papers.

When reading a paper I would just scan the abstract, conclusion, introduction, related work section (possibly in that order) to see if it’s relevant.

For finding papers I like semantic scholar and Google scholar.

For the first part, the middle step is missing some zeros, but an easy approximate formula for wavelength is frequency in Hz/3e8 m/s (rough speed of light).

For the second part, that depends on whether you’re looking at voltage or power. (Because power is proportional to voltage^2, the factor of two gets pulled out)
Again, even the mythical Sweden bans gatherings of more than 50 people, with criminal penalties for non-compliance.

Do you consider that a "lockdown"?

To me, "lockdown" -- a word I had previously heard mostly in reference to prisons -- means absolute cancellation of all social life, the word implies an absolute and universalism. That is not possible on an indefinite ongoing basis.

But we absolutely need restrictions. I'm not ready to say right now exactly what those restrictions should be -- they need to be based on science that we haven't done enough of, and they probably need to change as we learn more about things and as we observe how different restrictions (as well as different accomodations like improved ventilation) effect spread (which may be different from one society to another). We have barely yet begun to take seriously the need to seriously figure out what to do, instead of arguing about "lockdown" vs "do nothing".

To my reading, you are still engaged in that odd dichotomous debate, advocating the "do pretty much nothing" approach, absoultely confident (based on what science?) that this is sufficient.
"Intelligence" is a word that, etymologically and semantically, is related to human or human-like capabilities. You wouldn't say that a leaf floating on a lake is swimming, and likewise, claiming that computers are "learning" or "intelligent" is at best a thin analogy and at worst a mischaracterization of the process.
What's happening in my brain is something we don't have full scientific knowledge of, but we know it's not x86 machine code. While the two processes may be in many ways similar, conflating the two into this ill-defined concept of "intelligence" is a discussion about semantics more than anything else.
Suppose you are paying these people $10 an hour, that has got to be at least $2.50 * 50 = $125 a pop.

That wouldn't be so bad (less than a full-time tester) but it's actually going to cost much more than that and be a lot of hassle.

You see, people with decent cable and fiber connections are more likely to be employed and less likely to drop what they are doing every day for $2.50. They are probably going to have to clear at least 30 min from their schedule so $5-$10 for a day's participation is more fair. You have to cut 50 checks a month, probably hire an FTE to manage the program. If 10% of the people have trouble and need tech support you may need to handle 5 simultaneous support calls. Once people start getting bored maybe 30 people show up on any given day -- it's not realistic to sanction people for not showing up other than withholding pay, even then one of them might take you to small claims court if they think you've ripped them off. You'll need to recruit a larger panel than you think and have somebody always recruiting new members as others churn away.

If it is a service somebody else provides they have to do all that plus manage entropy that comes from you. They'd also like to make a profit. If it is $1000 a day you are talking a lot more than a full-time coder or tester cost.

A plan (B) is as follows: stress test the server with an automated system. That's got to be a lot more affordable.

A plan (C): embed telemetry in the client and server and see it as a sales task to recruit a group of "heavy consumers"; maybe people who want to do church or karate lessons on line.
First, Alpha news is a conservative propaganda site.

Second, the Minneapolis police department is still fully funded, because the council’s police reform efforts have been stymied by the unelected charter commission, who have prevented the citizenry from voting on an amendment to the city charter that would remove police funding guarantees and allow them to be held accountable. Because they can’t be held accountable, police have simply stopped doing their jobs, while still collecting their fat paychecks. As a citizen of Minneapolis, let me tell you that it doesn’t feel great to watch these welfare queens in blue sit in their cars taking naps and eating bagels instead of doing their jobs. They are leeches, and when the amendment does eventually make it to the ballot, we the voters are going to pull their gravy train tickets so fast it’ll make their heads spin.
Biggest and most challenging trend is to properly devise a data design schema for:

1. an appropriate privacy and deanonymization level to each data item in a structure (corporate privacy, trade secret, account ID)

2. an appropriate privacy level to a tuple of data items (i.e., PII; name, ID, birthdate)

3. And a security context for each class of end-users (support, engineering team, marketing) to use what amount of and degree of deanonymized data items.
