And I use it all the time for falling asleep. Works amazing!
There's the Microsoft I know. What an absolutely terrible idea.
You are making typical mistake: Linux is joy to develop. Well developed Linux distribution is joy to use for users, but boring for developers. Currently, if you are young developer, you can have lot of joy with Linux on phone.
"If Google loses, they will have a slightly smaller search monopoly and a browser monopoly."

It's my understanding that this case will continue to evolve as it goes forward and so will the possible remedies. I think you are assuming the best case scenario in a loss for Google.

Mozilla doesn't factor into this for me. They have been making missteps for years. The fact that they have become totally dependent on Google rather than finding other partners and business models is on them. Live by Google, die by Google.

While Mozilla has made some progress on the browser quality, the reason they are loosing the browser market is 1) the browser just isn't as good as Chrome (I've tried to love Firefox) and 2) Google is spamming Chrome on all its platforms. This lawsuit may resolve #2, but only Mozilla can resolve #1.
> I don't like Windows, but its UI is not that bad, come on.

I don't know. I am very OK with Win7 but I tried installing Win10 the other week on a VM in the intent to let it superseed my Linux on the desktop.

The 125% scaling of UI made fonts blurry on my monitor and text inconsistently sized. The "dark" theme lets core apps like Explorer flicker in white then turn dark, like slow Android apps. There are mini ad programs in the start menu. I don't even know where you're supposed to configure settings anymore without search; the control panel vs fancy settings apps vs msc snapins (which are the only parts that still work reliably)?

Their UI is worse than KDE or GNOME now. I had 3rd party applications working perfectly fine which I guess is the point but Windows10 UI is no marvel.

This is a problem because Win7 used to just work, discretely.

What's left is for me to experiment with group policy settings and suchlike (at least my edition permits it) in the hopes of getting my issues fixed. Probably have to throw in a ton of third-party "Windows 10 fix" powershell libraries to clean things up.

I got the Win10 Enterprise license through my company. I would never pay money for this OS, privately.
Such as your username, for example? Shouldn't you put a consonant between the "y" and the "o" to make it more intelligible?

English is full of words that shift between vowels without a consonant. OAuth might be ugly, but it's hardly bending the rules of the language.

We'll see if Mozilla will be able to achieve that. I hope so. I want it to succeed, but according to Mozilla that donation based structure would be impossible.

While you could be cynical, I think people using Wikipedia are way more numerous than people using Firefox.

I think it's inevitable that the future will be dominated by a Blink based browser. It's omnipresent on mobile and the desktop will probably just be Edge (a Blink derivative).
>That humans can still communicate effectively with each other despite a higher transcription error rate is just due to the the way humans do transcriptions: listen to a section of audio, then write down what they heard.

Part of it is that human communication has something similar to error correction built in. We recognize patterns of words and can guess what the next word is based on that. This allows us to discern the meaning without always understanding every word. We effectively fill in the blanks.
It means sometimes you'll get:

{ foo: { bar: "baz" }}

and other times you'll get

{ foo: "something else" }

Good luck!
You're not wrong about a ton of new tools coming to market in this space. Redpoint recently did a writeup of just some of the financial modeling companies https://medium.com/redpoint-ventures/the-finance-tech-stack-...
Blocklists don't solve the problem of dishonest or scammy ads. If they did we would have solved the spam problem by now. Someone still has to review all that stuff manually.
On the one hand, you're absolutely correct. On the other hand, we could handily rephrase that as a lame joke:

How many programmers does it take to screw in a light bulb?

One. They hold the light bulb still, and the entire office revolves around them.
Obviously the search term you type is what you want to see, so in a sense you're right. But that wasn't what you meant, right?

Google selects a large set of search results based on what it thinks your query means, then weighs each result according to many, many criteria, I've heard there are about 140 but that's a long time ago, and finally orders them by aggregate weight.

You may assume that all of those criteria are "boost pages that seem to be written by idiots", but do you really think so?
Thank you thank you for posting this!

While I do agree with some reply-ers that @pkulak's critical wording was a bit strong in the sibling comment here, I have been incredibly frustrated with the default "Multi-Account Containers" add-on.

They have a facility to delete domains from a container, but no facility to add one: something I would've thought would be one of the first things one would want to implement. I understand resources are not always plentiful, but they've added a bunch of other features and yet this one is still lacking.

This is especially infuriating for "intermediate" domains forming parts of a redirect (Google have changed their subdomain structure recently and placing different Google properties into separate containers is now impossible with Multi-Account Containers due to their redirect structure)

The pattern-matching feature in `containerise` looks even better again.

Hoping it works as well as it looks; going to give it a try now.
If people were willing and able to fly, the free market would close this arbitrage by ... driving up the cost of flying to Dubai. The other prices are controlled.
This is great stuff !
When in Africa, Simson still went on with his eccentricities, wearing at all time a tiny skirt, and after his December victory, performing some sort of ritual bath twice a week in front of the locals that quickly saw in him a natural leader and went to revere him. Heavily tattooed, he was soon named “lord of the loincloth”.

The exercise is useful since it makes you think.

However, from personal experience working with several startups, the actual numbers are generally pure fiction.

I can absolutely believe that. Even in lab conditions, one's own personal thoughts can lead to all kinds of distractions. Even perfectly focussed minds might be biased by certain conditioning, or a susceptibility to certain words.

But I would like to see where the 5.5% figure comes from.
You are still assuming 5000 years of sustained practices have health benefits..
Since the article lists prices in INR: The price of the iPhone 12 Pro in India in USD today is $1,615.22, and the price in Dubai is $1,140.15. So it must be possible to fly round-trip to Dubai for less than about $475, which seems plausible.

I did that, and the "first link" is "join peer tube", with no search field.

Even when I eventually find peertube.ch (Which I guess is right, because there are a ton of links on joinpeertube to other "instances") there's no videos with pandas at all there, though I don't actually know if this example was intended to be possible.

I do not think my parents would pass this test, even if the video existed.
There's a very good chance this is just implanted memories. (Allegedly he says Republicans are dumb in the extended video)

But I'd like to see the original video to see if that's true!

Evidence against it being interesting would be someone would have leaked it by now. Even back in 88 it would have been recognised as having value one would think.

To me it's strong evidence of the ability to implant memories, so it's important to find.

If he really said it, a newspaper somewhere will have mentioned it after airing. The problem is the opposite won't happen.

So this is one of those situations were either "a single monopoly with great customer service and / or a sense of public mission" and "lots and lots of competition in a very fluid market" can be sweet spots, but anything in between is bound to fail ?
Another reason for COBOL in business settings: support for BCD arithmetic. Binary floating point can yield up some interesting rounding errors if you aren't extra careful.
Anyone wondering, the base price of the iPhone 12 pro is in the article as 119900 rupees which is $1,627.61 according to google.

I thought the first part of the post was great.

But the specific examples were too specific. They require too much background information to understand.
Well thats definitely better for the environment.
After some research and trying out different chairs in a store, I bought Herman Miller Mirra 2 some 10 days ago, with fully adjustable arms and lumbar support.

Couldn't be happier with the purchase. I'm still adjusting, as my back muscles have withered, and the chair is forcing them to work again after months of slouching.

On my previos job I used Steelcase Gesture and liked it, but prefer mesh chairs like Mira/Aeron.
I was taught this in my grappling sports as a child! We did it for 10 seconds each step, and it's just enough that it slows everything down and helps you fall asleep.
Well, blood-letting had 2000 years of practice and authors discussing its benefits in detail. and turned out that was done for fun and had no health benefits (in fact, it was harmful).
I attended a Unitarian lecture where the minister gently chided the members, "Yes, we have a theology." The gist was that there were seven or so dimensions to appreciate, including: theology, eschatology, ecclesiology, soteriology, and a few more.

So the word 'theology' != "formal beliefs", whether or not that affects Taleb's brief thesis.
Socialized healthcare systems often have room for a private sector, so you can have both.

You can also go to other doctors in a socialized one, if their treatment (style) does not fit your cause.

Also, in my experience there's lots of choice in most socialized health care systems.

I had a gastroscopy in Austria, the Doctor asked me if I'd like a general anesthesia or rather a local, nerve blocker - mostly to avoid the gag reflex.

He said that it may not be as pleasant without the anesthesia, but I still opted for it and am really glad I did. While it really was not pleasant, I was up and going again in about half an hour.
The US already does this. Its called OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control) and they maintain a list of bitcoin (and other) addresses linked to malicious activity. They are the ones actually doing the work to lock down bank accounts when you hear 'US sanctions 5 people from country X', but this bitcoin stuff is a natural fit for them. I think they mainly focus on terrorist and state sponsored stuff, but at least in principle its there.
> Harari's free and open YT course on Sepians is enough for world history.

No, it is not.
Yes, BUT that's not taken into account in these tests. It is given beforehand what you get to train on, and shall way say "there are known problems" on this front.

So the benchmarks say how well model X does on this exact transcription taks given this exact training data, and no other knowledge.

Even basic things, like female/male voices in train vs test set don't match.
Its mostly taxes and duties, though Apple products are generically costlier in India. When Apple used to charge for OS updates, if you paid in Indian Rupees it would be somewhat more expensive than you would expect for exchange rate considerations.
Similarly but without COVID-suppressed airline prices, I remember back before Creative Cloud reading that it was cheaper to fly from Australia to the US to buy Creative Suite
This goes for many products and services, because of different tax and import rates.

From Europe it is often still cheaper to fly to a different country to buy clothes, electronics, etc. Problem is that you still have to pay the import tax once you cross the border back into your own country.

Hence why many airline crew ran (run?) side hustles of buying and selling luxury goods, since they were (are?) rarely checked at the border of their home country.
I will run the risk of sounding condescending here, but I sense some negativity in your comment that I fail to find a justification for.

People need solutions to their problems and they develop them asynchronously and in isolation from each other. Turns out that some problems are more universal than others and could benefit from a common effort.

Suddenly, solutions collide and collaboration happens. What you describe is exactly what they are trying to do now: https://github.com/godaddy/kubernetes-external-secrets/pull/...

So, rejoice! The magic of open source and internet enabled collaboration is happening right before your eyes! :)
And then all those exorbitant taxes and duties will end up in hidden swiss banks and in the hands of lowly fascists that control India. It's a well-oiled machine if you ask me!
Overall interesting research, but as with any preliminary research, there are a lot of little details that aren't in the headline that are important to know when evaluating it.

A couple points:

1) the inclusion criteria include prior use of psychedelic substances
2) the exclusion criteria filters out people with a previous bad experience of having panic attacks/anxiety/etc

Those two factors alone are going to create a bias by including only people who are known to not have a negative reaction to the drug anyway, so if you've never dosed before, you cannot use this study to determine what your likely experience is. The study group is not reflective of you, and you might after dosing find yourself meeting the exclusion criteria.

Another point:
3) participants stayed drug free for 3 months before the study

This means that these results are less reflective of you if you continually microdose, as they do not account for tolerance etc over time.
But you have to try and explain the magic. If you didn't, your universe would break. Depending on the postulated mechanisms of action, the principles behind the magical invention will have vastly different impact on societies.

For example, it matters how is it the ships can casually sustain a 1G burn for a week at a time. If it's efficient nuclear fusion, then the ships get bulky, energy is no longer a problem in the society at large, and the exhaust of said engine is a weapon of mass destruction. If it's subspace field shenanigans, then aforementioned impacts don't necessarily apply, but there is an open question of how small such subspace field combobulators can get, and what else could you do with them.

Technologies have second-order consequences, and societies shape to accommodate them. Half the fun of science fiction is in exploring those.

If you just call it magic and define it by a set of arbitrary rules, then your fictional universe will look shallow and inconsistent.
Is this program written by him or Ada?
A one size fits all approach is something that should change.

How we change this, I don't know.
I think they're just trying to say that your best bet for a good salary and variety of places to live would be to choose something modern (and in demand) and then stay up to date on as much as you can so you can always stay mobile. Focusing on only one technology is a bad idea as most modern technologies have definite cycles.
Same in Brazil, here the import taxes are crazy, coupled with regular taxes it amounts to 100% (doubling the price).

In the case of the iPhone you might need to find a cheap flight to the US, but a Macbook will land you a couple days in Disney.
Whenever COBOL or Fortran is mentioned, it is met with so much criticism. Such an archaic ugly language. OMG why didn't they replace it with C#/JAVA/whatever yet. Who would learn an obsolete language? It's a dead end as a developer.

Well guess what, it most likely will outlive every other language and framework created in the last 10 years by a large margin.

I just wish it would pay better to attract senior developers. The language is easy, but it has to be a real challenge understanding all of the interconnected processes and that requires a lot of experience. Surely there are many who would choose a COBOL job over learning a new framework every 2 years.
> That's some conspiracy bullshit.

It's not a conspiracy at all. The US does it too with the employer portion of FICA. This is 15.3% for most employees.

Hiding this tax that directly impacts what your cash paycheck will be is certainly political. But conspiracy? Not at all. It's like any other social nudging - keeping it out of sight and out of mind is absolutely on purpose and not really arguable. What is arguable is if it's justified.
Yeah, e.g. this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EGL_(programming_language)
It can output COBOL if the target is mainframe but also e.g. Java if your target is Linux or Windows.
(haven't coded it myself but seen it in action several places)
This sort of thing is quite common in a lot of places.

Years ago I remember that I wanted to buy one of those Rock Band sets for Playstation that came with the whole band. But they were so expensive back in Brazil, that I did the math and it was the same price to fly to Miami, book a hotel for the weekend, buy the set, and come back.
First Look at Tesla Full Self-Driving Beta and it looks just insane
> The purpose of this restraining order is simply to prevent the sharing of confidential information.

How can information gathered from examining a publicly available product possibly be confidential?
> Note that one the biggest users stated are governments

Governments use to have extremely large databases of extremely critical data that has to be collected and processed in a secure, correct, and timely basis or the agency will be in breach of some law that governs it. It's not surprising they were early adopters of large computers.

Traditionally, everything that's not forbidden is implicitly permitted in private initiative. In government, it's usually the reverse: anything that's not explicitly allowed by law is forbidden. And sometimes a crime.

This selects for very risk-averse organizations. The environments where these COBOL programs run are also remarkably stable. If it's running now, it'll most likely continue to run for the next 20 years of software and hardware updates. A lot of systems still think they are reading and writing tapes.
We can go down the rabbit hole all we want, but a "lie detector" is a specific type of device. Not everything that can detect lies is a lie detector.

(And not everything called a "lie detector" can detect lies, either. A polygraph test doesn't detect lies at all... and yet it is exactly the type of test banned. In fact, that's one of the main reasons why it is banned: because it doesn't work for its stated purpose.)
oh sweet summer child

people flying to dubai on different days across different flights to buy a couple iphones for themselves, or even as speculators, would not make a big enough dent

Apple will more likely correct the pricing discrepancy to sell more iphones in India themselves
You're assuming studies conducted today with minimal or no replication of results are evidence of health benefits. If 5000 of scientifically less-than-perfect evidence is not worth anything, then this study is also worth nothing.
The article excludes the cost of import duty, and other taxes (see daedalus's comment). It is a false argument to say that if I didn't pay tax things could be cheaper eg. if I break the law I can get a cheaper iPhone.

Getting caught for breaking the law is a stochastic system, but the expected value is lower than most people think.

Edit: How far are people willing to take this? Should we share an article saying someone got a free iPhone by buying a machine gun and stealing a truck full of iPhones? Where is the efficient frontier of breaking the law vs cheaper goods?

I live in New York.

Thank God I quit smoking in 1980.

A pack of cigarettes in New York costs about $15, in some stores, and no less than $10, outside of the local Native American facilities/reservations.

That's almost all taxes.
Sure you can, but there are two points worth mentioning.

The network could and should be built to adapt to such potential attacks. Spamming transactions (essentially a ddos attack) should be banned anyway.

Accidental receipt of stolen goods isn't a crime if you immediately turn them over to the police. People could forward all those coins over to a law enforcement account and receive no penalties while the sender would lose money without gaining anything. This too could be automated.
Yeah it does kind of legitimize it the way I described it, but I'm sure someone could find a way to dress it up more as a fine than a tax.
Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, also called frequence bias: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases#Frequ...

Slaves actually called slaves where relatively uncommon in history. Include peasant uprisings and several more become relevant. However, the important bit for US isn’t the long term results it’s the chaos involved in these civil wars.

The Third Servile War for example grew from 70 slave-gladiators to ~120,000 men in 2 years and won several significant battles vs the Roman Army. You really don’t want to see the modern version of that kind of fighting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Servile_War
I have personally faced plenty of problems caused by the OAuth2 large wire size.

The web is full of middle boxes with crazy limitations. And OAuth2 is very good of triggering each one of them. They are also mostly unique, not under the control of the ends, and often transient, so they most often aren't even understood, the problem is just assumed unsolvable. That alone is a big limitation that stops people from using OAuth2.

That said, I have never seen a case where crypto data was the cause of the bloat. Its size is so small when compared to everything else that I'm not sure why anybody would even look at it. And indeed, the rationale I found on the site is about cryptographic agility... what is interesting because you will find plenty of people claiming that this is an anti-feature that will harm security much more than help.
