> There's a bit of hubris in that too. The coaches are just that confident in their training and coaching that they are willing to take less experienced players over more experienced, but injured, ones.

I didn't read it that way, but that's an interesting take too. Ties into the end of the article that describes the crushing physicality of rowing.

I'm not sure I'd ascribe hubris, though: elite level sports is marginal gains theory taken to the extremes. If a coach evaluates two players as "similarly talented as of today" but one player has years of access to elite coaches whereas the other has only played recreationally or in minor regional tournaments, you couldn't look past the potential of the latter. Find enough diamonds in the rough and you'll be rich.

And if the reality is that it's not about diamonds in the rough but actually about finding uninjured players, well – that's possibly a sensible optimization to make too.
No, large employers like the tax benefits of employer provided health insurance because it gives them an edge over small employers and makes it harder for employees to hop around jobs. Employees of large companies that mainly employ younger, healthier people with less risky white collar jobs might also like employer sponsored healthcare, because then their insurance pool excludes people with chronic illnesses and those who need more healthcare, as they wouldn’t be employed.

It makes no difference to insurance companies if the premiums are paid by the employer with pre tax dollars or the directly by an individual vis healthcare.gov with post tax dollars.
There's also a self-selection bias here. FOSS software tends to attract people who are interested in FOSS, and they tend to be knowledgeable, or is a tinkerer/DIY'er.

Commercial software is often used by unwilling users. These users aren't interested in the software, and are often not well versed in IT or have an uncontrollable environment they cannot tinker with. Therefore, any failure caused by their circumstances are attributed to the failure of the commercial software.

Therefore, FOSS software may seem more reliable because the people using it has more competency in using it, has more control over their environment and may even be willing to elbow-grease a DIY fix/hack.

Not in the content. But after the content of the whole message to indicate tone? I do that pretty much all the time, as there are generally multiple ways a message can be interpreted.

We can’t do facial expressions on chat, and we don’t have the length of content that comes with email (at least, I’d rather use one emoji than 50 extra words).
There is something gross to many people when you just openly say you want to make money and started / work at company to do so. Not to me however - my philosophy sees nothing wrong with working hard and making money. The mission is important to remind yourself out of all the ways to make money you are doing this one. But convincing free people to voluntarily give you money is proof that you are providing true value to the world, which is a great thing.

>Is the Internet itself leading to more freedom or less? Or is it human nature spilling into bits and functions that is?

The funny thing is, the internet is big enough and complex enough that all of these are true.

Even the relatively restricted freedom of social media, itself just a part of the greater internet, is greater than the freedom people had to broadcast their views and communicate with a worldwide audience prior to the internet, which is almost zero.
What experiences have you had in the world that make you think things are so complicated?
From what I've seen in my short time, it seems like when you get "experts" in a room you get closed-mindedness because everyone thinks alike.
I can't even begin to think of an example were a voter would need to be an expert to be informed. But I can think of dozens of examples of bad policies that experts have backed. Book bans, carbon credits, moral hazards in our stimulus packages, bad trade deals, eugenics etc.
It's not saying the law can't be repealed by majority vote. It's saying the legislature can't change the law without a seven-eights vote. The law can be repealed by voters via another ballot initiative with a simple majority.

By default, laws enacted via ballot initiatives in California can't be amended by the legislature without voter approval. California has some of the strongest protections for citizen initiatives in the country, which comes with plusses and minuses depending on your perspective.
Maybe. It’s almost a non factor for me though.

Much bigger one is not being at the mercy of whatever latest price change/monetization drive bus the commercial side is trying to throw the consumer under

But people these days don't have tolerance for 'middle of the road' politicking. You're either for or against. There is no grey anymore. Independent thought is no longer allowed. So you either get the 'trust the business' or 'quit doing business and bring all of your personal shit to the office' groups.
Then stop enforcing it? They're clearly not sorry because the NYP is still blocked.
Calculating churn is one of these things that there's a complete dichotomy on the web when it comes to the available information. You usually find very simplistic approaches to a quite complex problem and there's amazing research that is not easily accessible.

The article is going towards the right direction but as other commenters mentioned, churn is an example of a survival analysis problem.

A typical model used for modeling churn is pareto/nbd. Wikipedia is a great starting point https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buy_Till_you_Die
Large employers seem to vary; some like the current rules, but others don't. I am not sure what the balance is.

I see you added to your comment after I'd responded:

>"It makes no difference to insurance companies if the premiums are paid by the employer with pre tax dollars or the directly by an individual vis healthcare.gov with post tax dollars. "

It actually makes a huge difference to their business model who is paying, and whether the dollars are pre-tax or post-tax. When the dollars are pre-tax, people try to get the most comprehensive coverage possible, so that everything, even routine expenditures (like eyeglasses) are covered by insurance, which increases insurance company revenue. Additionally, selling to businesses is very different from selling to consumers; with the former, you're in more of an enterprise B2B market, which is totally different from a B2C.

I remember when I first heard of discord back in 2015 before it became the huge thing it is these days. It seemed like a cool idea and reminded me of IRC, which I still used then, + voice chat if you needed it. Back then I had trouble getting my gaming friends on board as communication was split between Skype, Steam, TeamSpeak, the odd Mumble server, some IRC, etc. When people finally joined in and you were able to talk to most of them in one place, either via text or voice, it was great and made things a lot easier.

Nowadays though, I'm kind of weary of it. Their struggles to find a proper way of monetization makes me feel a bit uneasy at times to be quite honest. I would prefer to have a way to talk to my friends on a service that is either self-hosted, such as Matrix, or at least a little more transparent and trustworthy. But now it very hard to get people away from it and even if, it would probably create split groups again which would be a step backwards.
They certainly did fill a niche of easy community building in a time when you would either have to set something up yourself, i.e. TeamSpeak, Mumble, Ventrillo, or rely on arguably worse services such as Skype. I guess it also helped that they looked towards Slack for some inspiration in a way. But there's still the issue that any of the open-source alternatives are arguable worse to this day, so a lot of people are stuck with it, sadly.
The article in this case seems to be a very bad source for the actual details and is much more concerned with painting a macro picture of woe. Reading the actual twitter thread and email exchange[1] plus this pretty helpful Westervelt thread, here's what I gather:

0. Roost has a history of having some racial blind spots in their field

1. Roost emails Sojwal to submit something that wasn't really what Sojwal was looking for, more or less as already made clear through public info.

2. Sojwal rejects rudely in frustration

3. Roost responds rudely, lacking contextual awareness

4. Sojwal responds in turn

....

5. Roost goes and complains about the rude rejection

6. Sojwal gets mad about this complaint out of context

7. Roost digs in and then attempts to report to Twitter

Step 0 and Step 7 are the keys here it seems, and Westervelt added a lot of important context for me. This was a straw that broke the camel's back for Roost it appears, not an isolated incident. Reporting someone on twitter for a personal spat at best from a misunderstanding is not putting Roost in any sort of decent light, and her prior context doesn't appear to have earned her any goodwill.

I know nothing of either until reading this either. I suspect Sojwal's response was anger out of frustration. Rude, absolutely. But I think reading what the org is about [2] really sheds light that it would be clear this isn't an outlet looking to publish stuff from Roost. If Roost read that before responding and took a second, this response [3] would probably have not been a good idea. While the original rejection is rude, I actually don't see the "assumptions" that Roost is trying to defend, and that backhanded apology isn't going to sit well with anyone. She didn't even need to apologize, but the apology + you're wrong about me (along with the submitted piece's perspective) doesn't look good. And then that's where the prior history comes in for the dominos after.

Roost had many points they could have dropped this at and didn't, which seems to me like it was a common issue from Westervelt's thread. Westervelt doesn't seem to be caught to me so much as disappointed in a friend they were trying to help, who seemed to just refuse to learn. Both, but more disappointment than posturing.

To be clear, this is far from cut and dry and I can very much understand why there are so many confused or hesitant commenters. It took me a decent deal of digging and nuance to get this picture of what happened. This all could have been avoided, and this 100% seems to be twitter drama that escalated needlessly, and certainly may be reflective of some negative parts of this world we're getting a glimpse into that an article like this could have critiqued with nuance. But to me, the issue is far from what this piece seems to diagnose. To make this about cancel culture and the title, "White Women Need Not Apply", misses the point, just as Roost did with what originally went wrong.

Whether folks want it or not, public schools will probably require it of all students. That will at least help reduce the pool of asymptomatic carriers in that age group.

Direct democracy wouldn't work if the legislature could just overturn anything the people had voted for with a majority. It would be an endless back and forth between representatives voting for something, the people voting against it, and the represantives voting for it again. So unless you see direct democracy as "an absolute perversion of democracy" I don't know what your problem is.
Sorry, the last few corrections didn’t make any sense even after correction.
I might be wrong but I don't think thats how its working. It sounds like your phone saves a password/key locally and then when you load a website, faceid is used by your phone to unlock the keyring and sends the normal password to the website.

Slack is huge in the corporate world more than a gaming or casual chatting tool and I assume separating identity / login credentials between different channels makes some sense in that case for both security and privacy reasons, but also just conceptually.

I was homeschooled 1-5, private 6-8, public 9, homeschooled again 10-12.

A couple observations:

- homeschooling is efficient. I only needed a few hours per day of school.
- homeschooling is a religion for some people (who end up in articles) but there are lots of cool people.
- “homeschooling” is often way less “sitting at home with mother learning math” than people think. We took tons of trips, did cooperative school, took college classes. It’s funny to joke about never leaving the house, but most homeschool kids manage to be quite social.
- because it’s unusual, it succeeds with the right kid-parent relationship. My sister and mom made each other miserable and it didn’t work. There are lots of kids for whom homeschooling would be problematic.
Discord (and matrix) is often used as a support/comms channel by more "gritty" software projects: blockchain and that neighborhood.

Even if it was true that everyone wants prop 22 to pass, I refuse to vote for a proposition that make an exemption for a specific industry or activity. If employment law is wrong change it, if it is right leave it. There is nothing unique about any one industry's relationship with employment, especially this one.
It makes sense for versatile use cases. Discord's single account system is maybe fine for gaming but it's pain for other use cases.
Does anyone know if this means a Webview2 runtime is shipped with Windows?

I find CGo to be a bit more painful on Windows than it is on other platforms, so one thing I’ve experimented with is a pure Go wrapper around Webview2[1] that is roughly compatible with the popular webview/webview library. When the runtime is installed by default it’ll make a huge difference. (FWIW, I would not recommend using my library as is since it lacks JS bindings support for now, but I will probably look into it again some day soon.)

This entire project was a shameful example of political pump-and-dump by our former governor.

He sold the more gullible elements of our state on this fairy tale about Foxconn, got lots of air time and Trump points out of it, made an abortive presidential run, and then got replaced and slunk into the shadows before the music stopped.

Now our new Governor is left cleaning up the embarrassing mess while simultaneously being blamed for its failure by the very people who made the whole thing happen.
I suspect it would depend a lot on whether you were allowed to accelerate academically, and the answer would likely have been "no" or "not much". You might take a look at the following study, and see if it rings true to the school you did experience, or to what you've heard from others you've met:

"The considerable majority of [the subjects: young people with 160+ IQs in Australia] who have [skipped 2 or more grades in K-12] report high degrees of life satisfaction, have taken research degrees at leading universities, have professional careers, and report facilitative social and love relationships. Young people of equal abilities who accelerated by only 1 year or who have not been permitted acceleration have tended to enter less academically rigorous college courses, report lower levels of life satisfaction, and in many cases, experience significant difficulties with socialization. Several did not graduate from college or high school." https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ746290.pdf

I don't know if you're at the 160+ level, but SAT scores are something of a proxy for IQ, and the severity of the social and academic frustration due to mismatch with age-peers can be judged directly.
>>In general I would say that it's less likely

I would say the potential risks from the state are much more extreme, even if they are less likely to materialize.

So a newspaper claims to have a laptop from Biden's son, with plausible-seeming email and photos.

If it were not from Biden's son, or the emails were fake or altered, then I would expect the Biden campaign to say so.

Since they have not done so, it seems more likely the laptop and emails are legit.

Can you think of any reason the Biden campaign would not call out fakes, if they were in fact fake?

I am getting up there in years, but when I was young, they were also teaching us reading in kindergarten. I can recall, with certainty, these folks…

I have also seen it on ubereats (as consumer).

I also at the moment don't have an opinion of this.

Is this understanding correct at a very high level?

Yes 22:
* Benefits Uber.
* Do not need to provide drivers with health benefits. They are on contract (e.g. hourly) so they can buy their own health benefits. This is similar to other workers like doing "gigs".

No 22 - Benefits Drivers.
* Every driver (irregardless of hours worked) are required to receive health benefits.

If above is the case, the two sides seem very polar. Why not have a middle ground where benefits are provided to driver's, given a contract, that they work meet 40hrs per week?
It’s a tone of voice thing I think.

You are assuming naturalism / physicalism / materialism is true.

I agree, that if naturalism / physicalism / materialism is true, then the concept of "objective good" becomes hard to justify. Certainly, some people have tried, but a lot of people question whether those attempts can be successful – indeed, doubting those efforts is one thing that both naturalists who doubt the objectivity of the good, and non-naturalists who believe in the objectivity of the good but reject the idea that it can be given a naturalist foundation, can agree on.

To be clear, just so people don't vote mistakenly: these companies want to "operate under Prop 22"; Uber & Lyft are the primary supporters of Prop 22.

They do not want to operate under AB5, the current law, which Prop 22 seeks to invalidate.

If you want to compel Uber and others to follow the current law (which requires them to give employee benefits to drivers), you should vote NO on Prop 22.
This uses e.g. i=$(($i + 1)) to increment.

The simpler and possibly faster way is just

((i++))

or
((i+=1))

This syntax works in macos ksh, so pretty sure it's POSIX.

Also, ksh93 supports sequence generation.. so as an alternative to the loops, use

start=0
end=10
for i in {$start..$end}; do echo $i; done
