It is still important, and jet certainly has major flaws. I just think it's not so useful to compare jet to non-divergent colormaps. Any divergent colormap would look bad on a photograph of a human, which seems to be the main evidence provided in this paper.

In a deleted reply to my comment, a user referenced a paper by Borkin [1], that actually compares the quality of decisions made using jet vs other divergent colormaps. Jet loses. It's a shame this sort of argument wasn't included in the ncomms article, because imo it would do a much better job of convincing people who like jet.

Here in the Netherlands we also pay farmers for killed livestock. And nobody is happy with the situation we're in now. Not the farmers, not the public, not the sheep and not even the environmentalists. Public support for wolves is growing, but only among people who don't know about the problems they cause.

One of the main reason farmers hate wolves is because it's madness. A wolf kills 14 sheep in one night and only eats one, partly. That doesn't make it a very sympathetic animal.

The Netherlands is very densely populated. Everyone was doing fine without the wolf. Now a couple of environmentalists use public money to try to reintroduce wolves in habitat that isn't able to support them. They got subsidies based on reports that promised no livestock would be harmed. Wolves would just limit themselves automagically to wildlife when there is enough wildlife to support them. This claim is demonstrably false. It's fraud.

On top of that, the environmentalist arrogantly call everyone who doesn't love the wolf stupid, uninformed bigots.

Like that helps.
Wow, looks like I have to add SDAM to the list of ways I'm different, on top of Aphantasia, not having episodic memory and not being able to vividly recall sounds or smells. At least I don't seem to have Prosopagnosia (A serious downgrade of your facial recognition).

That list is pretty long, I'm not sure how to feel about that. (Probably because I generally seem to have less extreme emotional reactions)

A study from May 2020 [1] seems to show a strong correlation between these symptoms, suggesting that the underlying cause may be the same.

No there are no real valid arguments against ranked choice voting. Ranked choice has the benefit that the there is no point in "gaming" your vote, so your optimal strategy and nash-equilibrium is to provide your real candidate preference order.

The key benefit of ranked choice is that voters will tell you what they actually want (even if their favorite candidate has no chance to win).
I don't know the level of scrutiny at mailchimp but I do know a few business that use mailchimp that are sending lots of emails in industries on the second list. They all pay for it and mailchimp either doesn't care or isn't looking too closely.
mawk also has a nice and short manual. since GNU decided to make its money selling books, their manuals are usually huge and that's by design.
Again, they're independent variables.

WHO sites keep consistent testing for patients with respiratory symptoms. The same way that some flu cases may be "hidden" because people stay at home, likewise some flus that wouldn't be tested otherwise will because the patient thinks it's covid.

In any case if some hide because there's a pandemic or WW3, it doesn't matter because other patients will be part of the sample. If there's flu it will be seen, pandemic ongoing or not.

You may be interested in reading the Global Influenza Surveillance Manual[0]. Relevant info is in chapter 6, regarding sampling, in particular 6.2, in which it recommends against testing all and only those that seek medical assistance.

> Ad hoc or convenience sampling

> Sampling schemes that do not adhere to a pre-determined system are the easiest and least costly to implement but are also the most subject to bias. Differences in the health- seeking behavior of different groups and preconceived ideas about the risk of health- care providers can introduce unpredictable biases, consequently yielding patterns in the data that do not represent reality. While this approach may still yield data sufficient to identify transmission seasonality, and provide specimens for virological surveillance, it will not provide a reliable picture of the epidemiological characteristics of influenza or burden and should not be used if these are the objectives of the system.

In 6.4 it describes the systematic sampling strategies recommended, which remove the bias of the point you (and the other commenter) raised.

As described in 6.3, random sampling would be best, but also too expensive for tracking, and is only to be done by WHO sites performing some research where it would be needed.

Everyone knows this policy can’t be neutrally applied, and won’t be. The ideological beliefs of the censor will influence what is censored and what is ignored.

Are there any good alternatives to Mailchimp which aren’t headquartered in the USA?

The US software industry seems to be gradually abandoning whatever libertarian roots it once had, in favour of a weird kind of paternalism.
I know you're being downvoted, but I agree with you. People from other areas seem have very strong opinions but have never actually seen wolves in the wild and will most likely never have wolves in their areas. Honestly, it is also is becoming the same discussion with brown bears where I live. I question how educated they are in wild life management.

In Idaho a wolf tag is 11.50 and you can legally harvest 15 wolves a year. You can even get wolf bounties of up to $1,000 per wolf in some areas, $500 in any area! You do have to be a member of the foundation for wildlife management, though. Idaho Department of Fish and Game is partially funding these bounties.

So, you have online folks (urbanites and suburbanites you mentioned, I assume) fighting to keep them on the endangered species list. All the while you have state government departments that 100% exist to manage wildlife paying hunters to harvest them. What a contrast.
As a cyclist, this says nothing to me about the safety of these cars. I was biking and I "struck" a car that was heading opposite my direction and making a left hand turn across my path in the bike line and crossing my right of way. I struck the car on the side near the front passenger wheel at "slow speed" and was thrown over the hood of the car and then onto the ground. This incident was the cars fault for making a turn without consideration of my right of way even though I, the cyclist, was the one who struck the car.

An SDC that freezes in front of cyclists is still dangerous to cyclists.
No problem. ISPs have as much of a right to voluntary association as you, me, or Mailchimp.
You're making a naive assumption based on one popular Facebook video.

Curious use of language, in context.
Because there is no lock.

With a lock, you acquire the lock, you perform your operation, and then you release the lock.

Lock-free is typically done differently. You don’t acquire a lock, you start performing the operation “optimistically”, and you commit the result if no other thread has stomped on your data. If another thread has stomped on your data, you start over.

One of the important differences here is that it’s a race. Whoever commits first, wins. With a lock, you have to wait for whatever thread acquired the lock first. That thread may not even be running.

So, lock-free is fundamentally different because with a lock-free system, a thread that is running will always complete work (you just don’t know which thread). In a system with locks, threads that are running may be prevented from making progress by threads that are not running.

Systems with locks can also deadlock, lock-free systems cannot deadlock. Usually, there is some sort of guarantee that lock-free systems always make progress.

> That artificial scarcity, introduced by a coercive state, is what I'm opposed to.

That sounds like a take on the discussion about the 'social contract': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_contract

I think that both positions are valid. That it is, it's fair to dismiss giving a part of your freedom towards a coercive state. But at the same time, you also forfait the future possibility that you might want to exert exclusive rights over your own intellectual work.

It totally works out if that's a decision made on a personal level. But when you expand that towards a first principle that applies to everyone, you run into issues. After all, authors relinquish control over who gets to use their work and how it gets to be used. And not all contexts in which one's creative work is consumed are equal.

This would range from opposing the use of one's music during political manifestations, to opposing the use of one's code in both private and public ventures which are ethically questionable.

When it comes to software, you can see this in efforts to create copyleft licenses with extra terms & conditions that restrict the use of how software is used. For instance, the Hippocratic License. [1]

[1] https://firstdonoharm.dev/

The net result is a contract with an inherent tension between giving as much freedom as possible and being aware of the consequences and ethical considerations of doing so to the point that intellectual property rights are exerted to enforce "desired behaviour" on the part of the licensee.

Removing copyright as a principle entirely removes the option to create such uneasy solutions, but at the same time, it also gives absolute freedom to re-purpose creative works in ways which are - arguably - counter to the interests of the public.
Or maybe it's boring because it simply uses the established meaning in the context of music? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parody_music

In any case, you seem to be a bit conflicted on the meaning yourself, first demanding it meaningfully interact with the text of the original, and then relaxing the condition to the work only needing to be funny.

These are actually two rather orthogonal conditions: being funny or not is largely a matter subjective opinion, while interacting with the original text is something that can be more objectively decided by text analysis. And both conditions of course completely ignoring the musical aspect.

just flip the X axis of the camera input!
That's a good point. It still suggests there is no apples to apples comparison between the real world and simulation though, and that those numbers can't really be considered equivalent or even compared in a useful way.

If you're saying the simulation should've revealed more problems than the real world, wouldn't that mean there'd be more contacts through simulation (because that's where you discover them) and then you'd hope the fix exists before rolling it out to the real world, so you'd expect to have less contacts there? What they're reporting is the opposite of that though.

Obviously I don't have enough information to draw a scientific conclusion here - I'm just pointing out there is an enormous discrepancy between their simulated miles and their real miles.

Yeah. I see the clowns in Cambridge who dart out into a poorly lit road at night not at a crosswalk wearing dark clothing. I'm watching for them because I know people do it. But the idea that a pedestrian can do anything they want to get across a medium speed road is idiotic.

Ask yourself why any politician or media outlet who claims to be pro-democracy would fail to promote this.

Way too many financial interests are involved in keeping the status quo. This is a wonderful start and a blueprint the rest of the country needs to follow.
I'm just speaking for myself, but in terms of the open-source projects I have been a part of, communication either happens over a mailing list, or a discourse forum. A lot of the time you only know the people you're interacting with as a screen name, so you don't even know their race or gender. And 100% of the content of the discussion is either purely technical in nature (e.g. how do I use this API feature, what JSON structure is expected etc) or is something operational like the timelines and priorities of the project.

It's just hard to imagine how racism or sexism would enter into to a community like this because the race and sex of the participants is not known, and you're not even discussing races or genders at all, heck you're generally not discussing people at all.
The difference is that wolves tend to take the weaker members of the herds which strengthens the herd overall, but hunters tend to focus on the stronger members.

Reading the description there, it seems to rest heavily on profit motives. Perhaps I have missed something?

There is a large population of wolves where I live, in Idaho. Wolves are a controversial subject amongst hunters, who believe that they are a reason for the decline in big game (elk/deer) in the state, especially in remote locations.

To assist in the management of the gray wolf population in the state, the IDFG allows any hunter with a wolf tag to harvest, by both hunting and trapping, 15 wolves per year.
They just don’t drive like humans. I almost walked into the side of a Cruise vehicle a few years back because the car did a double stop at a stop sign when I expected it to keep moving forward after the first stop. There was no other traffic and I wasn’t distracted - but it just stopped in the middle of the crosswalk after starting to go forward.

Pedestrians assume certain things that are not necessarily true for self-driving vehicles, just as if I started acting erratically as a pedestrian it would really mess with cars.

All in all, though, I’d much rather take that failure case (At least when walking) over the human failure case of hitting me while turning.
This is the main reason why I like it. The current two parties have a choke hold on the government and a third (or fourth) party has no chance today.

Why shouldn't they cross the road any way they like? Why do you think the space is yours by default and not theirs?

Did you actually read both studies? If so, I don't see how you could have arrived at the conclusion that the time cell paper is a rehash of what you linked. They are talking about and focusing on entirely different things.
That's a disingenuous narrative. Truth can ultimately be verified independent of belief. That's what makes it true.

If your idea if truth is such that it can be dictated by political will, then you don't understand what makes truth special. It is special almost wholly due to its resilience to narrative, and it is incredibly bold or stupid to try to discount it through those means.
so people chose medium for no reason?

I did a quick search and according to this article [1], dijkstra's implementation was not restricted compared to other implementations at the time :

It is Dijkstra's generalizing style which stands out when a comparison is made with the work of his contemporaries. Rutishauser, for example, had limited the order of his procedure activations in his run-time system [59], while Dijkstra had no such restriction. Floyd's work [60, p.42-43] relied on three specialized “yo-yo” lists (i.e., stacks) instead of one general stack. Likewise, the MAD translator [61, p.28] used several specialized tables. Also, and most importantly, the ALCOR compilers were severely restricted in that they could not handle several ALGOL60 language constructs, including the recursive procedure (cf. Section ). Finally, though the Irons-Feurzeig system [54] did implement recursive-procedure activations and by means of one general run-time stack, it was, in the interest of efficiency, sophisticated in its run-time capabilities and, hence, unlike the run-time system of Dijkstra and Zonneveld .

There's also "inertial electrostatic confinement" (IEC) that seems promising:

> Theory for a gridded inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) fusion system is presented that shows a net energy gain is possible if the grid is magnetically shielded from ion impact. A simplified grid geometry is studied, consisting of two negatively-biased coaxial current-carrying rings, oriented such that their opposing magnetic fields produce a spindle cusp. Our analysis indicates that better than break-even performance is possible even in a deuterium-deuterium system at bench-top scales. The proposed device has the unusual property that it can avoid both the cusp losses of traditional magnetic fusion systems and the grid losses of traditional IEC configurations.
