This justification makes no sense to me. Icons aren't window dressing, they serve an actual functional purpose (identifying things that you can click on to perform actions). Removing color and making them all look similar makes them worse at their intended functional purpose.
I like this project, and have followed it for a couple of years.

I have a prediction for this space.

I think we will see a DSL for type defs like typedefs.com (but not quite typedefs.com—too complex), arise that becomes really popular and becomes the "English" of the Standards Organizations worlds.

Sort of like DefinitelyTyped or Schema.org but 1,000x+ bigger.

It won't be because everyone will finally come together and agree on a language for types. That would suffer from the https://xkcd.com/927/ problem.

Rather someone will discover some simple and beautiful way to define types that has significant technical advantages to existing standards and will spread like wildfire.

> E-voting doesn't fundamentally change the trust dynamics at all: people ultimately need to believe that the people in charge of the process aren't up to any funny business or bad at their jobs.

A notable difference is that any John or Jane Doe can become a poll worker or poll watcher with little barrier to entry no matter their background, and verify the integrity of their elections should they choose to do so.

To me, the lack of the ability for an average person to do this would significantly change the trust dynamics.
>So anywhere with zoning and parking tickets is authoritarian? Come on. What, specifically, is Portland doing that you'd consider to be authoritarian, and what would you propose in its place?

Zoning is inherently authoritarian and an affront to individual liberty.

Parking tickets depends on whether they write citations for things that aren't harming anyone, like people parking unregistered stuff on the street where there's ample parking available. If you're enforcing minor laws just because they're there and forcing people to step in line when them doing whatever doesn't appear to be bothering anyone then that passes my duck test for authoritarianism.

Frankly from the rest of your comments in here you're coming across like a masshole who thinks Portland is perfect because they don't have busybodies calling the cops on people over nothing and cops just chilling waiting to see someone do something so they can go fishing (or waiting to get one of those calls). And for the record, the poor parts of MA aren't authoritarian like that but people from the poor parts don't retire to Portland.

>Trying to paint a group of fellow citizens as outsiders is a negative pattern,

They're from elsewhere and are of a different culture. Sounds like a reasonable definition of "outsider" to me.
5 days ago in a related thread, I suggested that the board should remove him (though it was apparently not a popular suggestion). His apology today seems sincere and he offers to accept a decision from the board.

In my opinion, his personal statement seems to have the substance that the "corporate" response lacked and I applaud him for it.

> Seeing you flail about is a blast for them.

Maybe (?) the problem there was not having developed the skills to fight back effectively, before doing so.

For myself, I was able to start training in martial arts (starting with a reasonable Taekwondo place) after I'd been bullied for a while.

Personally, I was still a complete wimp for at least the first few years after I started training.

But at some point (maybe 3-4 years into training?) I did the "snap" thing and had the skills + physique for it to be effective. Plus I wasn't stupid enough to "snap" in a public place where I'd be caught.

Maybe the other important thing is learning to pick your opportune moment(s) for pay back. ;)
I think the primary reason for “normal” psych meds is they’ve been tested well for harm reduction first and foremost. That’s why the front line SSRIs are front line, they have less chance of a negative effect. Downside is it’s mild, and there’s plenty of evidence that the “low seratonin” theory of depression doesn’t apply to many.

Psilocybin is an intense acute experience. People can have negative effects. I hope we do studies to find how to use it most safely, or isolate the beneficial aspect without the intoxicating effects.
1. You repeat the title, saying google banned a third party app for bitchute, but adding words with a negative connotation. (while openly advocating for censorship and jailing people you disagree with)

2. I note that this is hypocritical and heavy handed of google (they used to host the same videos), as well as a rapid shift in the zeitgeist.

3. You start talking about whether bitchute can profit, which seems completely irrelevant (the OP is about a third party app).

Seems pretty clear-cut to me. Oh, and I don't make videos, let alone "hate-speech" videos. I'd say don't slander me, but you're doing a great job showing that the ones advocating for such censorship in the modern US are the villains.
There are probabilistic systems.
Massachusetts votes to update “Right to Repair Law”
Nice.

They can't get away with spending taxpayer money on cameras everywhere that will provide them the ability to watch everyone and everything.

But it's ok if it's just a friendly company sharing its customers' video feeds.

Despite the fact that the US has no laws governing camera surveillance and what the data can be used for, who it can be shared with or sold to, and there exists no right to be forgotten or even informed you've been recorded this way.
We have to be careful to prescribe these psychotropic substances willy-nilly to the general population. Cannabis has always initially worked well for me, but 1-2 months into using it, it causes schizophrenic/manic episodes. I cannot touch it anymore because of the possible permanent damage it could do.
I picked up this book based on your recommendation. Thank you! It's so great.
So basically we need an oil change.

California Passes New Privacy Protection Ballot Initiative
I used to think the same thing until last night. Watching the different results come in. The average person already has no clue what is going on. You need a degree in high level statistics to understand why races are called when they are.

After you cast your vote what happens after that? Who counts them? How are they counted? How are those counts counted toward the total? Who is certifying all of this? How are those people chosen?
Municipal broadband where the county PUD owns the fiber and multiple private companies provide service over them works great. Which is why you can get gigabit internet for like $50 some places and struggle to get decent internet in the suburbs.

Also Comcast is not going to tell the federal government "no" to a data request if it doesn't benifit them.
I tried to watch this every year. Inspirational. RIP Randy.
Those are all good pragmatic reasons to use C. Doesn't make C any less of a mistake. A slightly higher semantic level would have spared us so many headaches. To make the choices C made, after LISP, Algol, APL, Pascal... was a very costly punt.

As hopeful as I am for unconventional drugs to have more medicinal uses, is it unreasonable for me to think there's no good medicinal depression cure? Is it unfounded to think depression generally has its roots in being disconnected from other people/society?

I've felt depressed before, but I've probably never had it as bad as many people. But generally I've felt depressed when my life felt too narrow. When I've felt like there was only one or two things holding me up. When I felt like nobody really understood what I was going through or I couldn't open up to others.

From what I understand, tripping on psilocybin inhibits your DMN, which apparently is the part of your brain most responsible for your sense of self and makes you feel less like there is a barrier between you and the rest of the universe.

If certain medicines help people cope with depression, I definitely don't want to detract from the progress those medicines have provided to those people. But does it go against prevailing wisdom to think the only cure to depression is other people? And that, if psilocybin gets people to connect more, it can be part of the cure. But that no drug, in and of itself, can "cure" depression?

Just thinking out loud. Please go easy on me. I'm just curious and want to know more.
I switched "i" and "h" since "h" is no longer used for navigating left in my arrangement (that is now "j" so it matches the wasd/arrow-keys arrangement).

For esc I actually use "hh" in quick succession (inoremap hh <esc>).

Yeah, it felt a little sacrilegious when I first remapped it a decade ago, but ultimately I decided that all that was important was achieving the productivity benefits of home row navigation and ijkl does it just as well as hjkl but the ijkl arrangement was already immediately intuitive to me. For me, vim is all about the cumulative benefits of plugins and little hacks like this that optimize my workflow in a way that aligns to how my brain already thinks.

The main criticism I receive for this setup is that if I ever have to ssh into a machine that I don't control, I won't have any of my custom settings and fancy plugins, but I'm ok with this since my custom vim setup is my IDE and I wouldn't expect to have my IDE available in an SSH session if it were vscode or webstorm or whatever. Also, it's possible to edit files over ssh, and worst case scenario I just temporarily switch contexts to hjkl, but in practice I don't really have to edit code over ssh.
Maybe a notable chunk, but I'd say more accurately "to anyone but the Republicans".

It’s (literally) Google’s crosvm with some changes. AWS forked an existing codebase, made some changes that mostly consisted of removing functionality to tailor the VMM for their use case, and then made a big PR push about “open sourcing” Firecracker as though it was a project they built from scratch. The announcement devoted 1 sentence to the fact that it’s a crosvm fork, and that’s not even the only thing covered in that one sentence.

This proposition enshrines a bunch of privacy changes into the state constitution. Many of them are good, but some are bad, and by being in the constitution, are now nearly impossible to change.

This law was basically written by Google and Facebook, so it is a combination of regulatory capture and their hidden agenda. We already have a strong privacy law passed by the legislature a few years ago. Any changes should have gone through the legislature, but the reason they didn't do that was because the stuff in this law were too radical even for the California legislature, so they took it straight to the people.

Interestingly, it passed in all of the liberal strongholds of the state, except San Francisco county.
Double precision FP, cl_khr_fp64, could not be supported by intel’s GPU silicon until Xeon phi / larabee was inevitably cancelled. That finally did happen. I would love to add more double precision compute capacity without being robbed; it’s getting tough to find 1st gen nvidia titan cards. Here’s hoping this discrete unit will have strong fp64 performance.

Edit: It had been a while since I checked into current-model GPU fp64 throughput. The Titan V has outstanding DP performance!!! Order placed.
"Two psilocybin sessions (session 1: 20 mg/70 kg; session 2: 30 mg/70 kg) were given (administered in opaque gelatin capsules with approximately 100 mL of water) in the context of supportive psychotherapy (approximately 11 hours)."

Curious if that's enough for the patients to have a psychedelic experience.
These articles about illegal drugs being miracle cures is just as bad as the fringe diet posts. Fortunately the diet posts seem to have died down but these persist.

How is this anything intellectual? It’s just conspiracy theory level pseudoscience like the fecal transplant stuff and the diet / vitamin stuff.
Regarding the latter question, IMO, the technological cat is out of the bag: we live in an era of global fast communication infrastructure. If those sites ceased to exist tomorrow, some other mechanism would quickly spring up to fill the void. People want those sites so it's people and culture that needs to be changed.
> Advocates say Measure 110 replaces a criminal justice-centered approach to drugs with a public health one

hat will happen when people are given the choice between a fine and rehab? If rehab is more expensive than a fine due to a lack of affordable healthcare, wouldn't this just be the equivalent of giving the choice between a fine and treatment + massive debt?
The flaw in the argument is the assumption that knowledge is a requirement for trust. But look for example at elections in Brazil: most people don't really understand how it works, but they like it nonetheless[1] because the good experience of instant gratification plants a positive initial seed in people's minds and association fallacy[2] is a thing.

There's plenty of other scenarios where we can see discrepancies between trust and understanding (for example, the general public's trust in recycling vs what actually happens w/ plastics). Heck, the US election system is quite complicated today and yet people trust it. For better or for worse, humans are often fallible and illogical.

Are you declaring that in your taxes? And tax authorities are cool with it? What exchange rate do you apply, giving the volatility? In which country?
I don't usually log in at work, but I feel this needs to be said since there's a few people in my life struggling with this.

Psilocybin works great, and almost everyone I know with depression can attest to that- but without changing the circumstances that cause the depression it will likely always return.

Anecdotal example:
My sister is in disability care and is routinely abused by patients with severe disabilities (to no fault of their own) and she will slip into a severe depression that usually lasts a long period of time. Tripping helps her substantially deal with this, but psilocybin is for treating the effect and not for fixing the cause... If you kick a dead horse it (probably) won't wake up.
In Arizona, with a chronic pain doctor, I was able to get pure ketamine liquid infusion via IV for 3-4 hours, while I listened to music. Felt like rebirth. My spinal pain was significantly decreased for the next few weeks, and my mood was ecstatic. Like the mushrooms though, it is short-lived. The doctor liked prescribing it because it is an NMDA agonist and decreased my opioid tolerance quite a bit, also helps with withdrawal symptoms. It is not covered by insurance -- $450 out of pocket. Spravato, the nasal spray, is cheaper but won't be as dramatic an experience [1]

From the guidelines:

From the paper:

The paper explicitly mentions that there's no placebo control, so I'm not sure what you're trying to point out with your comment.
Georgia Tech set up a room in the CS department for a live broadcast of this lecture when he gave it. I had just started as a brand new freshman a month before, and happened to find out about it / check it out on a whim.

I truly do not think it is an exaggeration to say that it changed the course of my life. I was frustrated and angry with all sorts of things when I walked into that room, and I still was after I left, but in that hour I saw a glimpse of what life could look like if I stuck with it through the hard stuff, and it was the first thing in a long time that really got me genuinely excited about my future.

I will forever be grateful to Randy Pausch for his positive attitude and for his willingness and effort in sharing this when he did - especially since he never got to hear the gratitude himself directly from me or so many countless others I know he impacted positively as well. I am strangely emotional just thinking about it again now - a bright light of positive memory in a dark year.

You can just use the standard sugar pill placebo. But of course make sure the placebo group get the same treatment of lying on a couch and listening to music with their eyes closed. I am sure the psychedelic effects of shrooms would increase the placebo effect greatly, so sugar pill placebo might not correctly show the placebo effect, but it is a start.
Open textbooks approved by the American Institute of Mathematics
When I was in... I dunno, 5th grade? I got disciplined because some kid was punching me on the playground, so I kicked him. I told the school administrators, they didn't care. The phrase they used was "we don't use karate on people here!" I had no idea what karate was.

I got bullied at the next couple schools I went to, and the only way anyone would stop was the few times I (or somebody else on my behalf) fought back. But of course then I would get in trouble for fighting.

I was later told many times I had a "problem with authority". Who wouldn't? How do you learn fairness, justice, or to respect authority if it treats you like crap?
The Presidential Election of 1876
Might just be a change of key infrastructure. If this was generated a long time ago, perhaps the owner wants something a bit more modern, like a HD wallet on hardware, something like that. More ergonomic and elegant than possibly holding on to a load of different keys.
I think you guys are conflating this with what the poster is getting at, which based on what was said ("implying criminality"), is more akin to defamation (though admittedly the choice of earlier examples is poor).

If, as an employer, I decide that because you chose a specific project (or political party, or brand of motor bike, etc. anything whose association has potential 'dubious legal status') that you're part of a criminal organization (and hence a criminal, or any other description that might be undesirable/harmful) because of that and don't hire you, that may put me at risk.

Obviously there would be a legal bar to meet from that, not the least of which would be proving that it was intentional to defame the person, and resulted in actual damages to that person (i.e. proper standing - would not getting the job be enough?)

IDK IANAL, but I sure AF wouldn't want to be the trailblazer for finding out (like IBM is right now).
It does guarantee minimum wage.
Same here. My laptops have lots of Intel hardware and they all work out of the box on Linux. Hopefully Intel GPUs will also be an option for desktops.
That should be a medium dose, I think.
ciw does, and is what most people really want to begin with.
How is that observable in the current system? I mailed my ballot in a couple weeks ago, and BallotTrax told me when it was picked up by the post office, and then when it was delivered to election officials and accepted. But that's just an email telling me this; anyone can type up an email and send it, while dropping my ballot into a shredder.

Now, I do believe that my vote was actually counted, but I have no rational basis for this, as I don't have any kind of record or visibility into the process.

I don't think any voting process can actually really tell you that your vote was counted. At the end of the day you're just trusting that the people running it aren't corrupt, or at least that there are enough people involved that keeping shenanigans a secret would be incredibly difficult.

Laterball: Algorithmically generated watchability ratings for soccer games
A software developer and football (soccer) fan who lives in an antipodean time zone, I enjoy watching games on demand the morning after they occur. Apart from watching the games of the team I support, I like to watch one or two of the most entertaining games in any given week, but score spoilers absolutely ruin the experience for me.

So, I created laterball.com: a web app the algorithmically determines the best games of the past 7 days without score spoilers, to let me (and you) know which games are worth spending time watching. There's also an associated twitter bot at https://twitter.com/laterball which occasionally tweets when there's been a high-quality game.

Technical stuff: the back end is a Ktor server hosted on Google's App Enginer which pulls statistics data from an API to determine the ratings. Factors used to determine ratings include goals (number, timing, swings in score, comebacks), xG, wins or draws against the odds, cards, and a few others.

The code is currently in a private repo, but I'm looking at open sourcing it in the near future.
