Real world is always complex, ambigous and changing. So any simple model will in time be found inadequate, and complex models unusable.

The problem of programming isn't so much the interface. Text has been used for decades and remains a robust communication platform among humans. The real problem is defining the problem to be solved, its scope and adaptability to a complex and changing world.

The difficulty is the gap between vague ideas and real world outcomes of automation and human-computer interactions. To codify and implement ideas require precise understanding, design and adaptability which are otherwise demanding, understated and neglected.

Notice there is little need to focus on the tools themselves in this realization.

Update: Adding a bunch of numbers in a list is never a real problem, so is just an artificial construct.
The frustration I have is that some conservatives won't even agree to that framing. It wasn't they were choosing policy over character, it's that they see nothing wrong with his character. I've had many arguments w/ conservative friends because they think he's just been treated unfairly or "everyone has faults", then point to character flaws of other candidates. I mean, I understand it, but just a gross false equivalency. In the end it's their opinion and mine.
App Store has been around for over a decade with largely the same rules.

It is their platform and ultimately they have a right to determine what apps they do or do not approve. Whether it's streaming or not is completely irrelevant.
There’s a simple consistent principle in operation. If an app is simply a neutral front end to a distributed set of independent back end services that are not managed by the owner of the app, then the app owner is not responsible for the content. Web browsers clearly match this description as the browser developer isn’t responsible for all the web sites you could visit. But it also applies to email clients, Mastodon clients, arguably even podcast clients and many more.

If the client app is only used to access content also owned, curated or managed by the client app vendor, then the client app vendor is on the hook for that content. Audible falls in this category, even though it’s superficially similar to a podcast app, because the app client vendor also owns or curates all the content. Sure there are some odd edge cases, but games streaming services pretty clearly fall into this category, and not the same category as web browsers.
I use Mutt with gmail. For a while I hooked it up to read off the internet, but eventually I switched to OfflineIMAP, then to isync. For sending I us msmtp. Both are pretty straightforward to configure, especially compared to mutt itself. I'd definitely recommend using notmuch if you do decide to keep that local copy of your mail, the search is pretty incredible.

The truth is you can't support people of color without having straight white men feel denigrated. Because as soon as you support people of color the straight white men show up with tiki torches shouting about how they won't be replaced. Equality is not acceptable for these people.

Reagan and the republicans have hollowed out public education, and that's what the closeness of the race is a symptom of, I think.

We need to funnel money back into public education; the next generation is our only hope.

> And is that the kind of thing that could be done at all objectively?

No, unfortunately. And just as unfortunately, when you try to communicate why someone on "the other side" might have decent reasons for feeling the way they do, you are seen as an enemy. Alas this is human nature and not likely to change.
A fetus is a human life.

EDIT: I'd ask for valid science showing a fetus isn't alive, doesn't feel pain, etc., but the science is clear here. The question isn't in the science but in the implications. Like it or not (here... apparently not), the conservative position on abortion had a lot of hard science to back it up.
Trump has been blatantly slandered by the mainstream media as racist evil orange man, it was 4 years of '1984' style brainwashing by the left.

One of the big reasons for voting Trump was standing up against this propaganda machine, lies, censorship and intimidation.

70M people thankfully did just that, which gives hope in the future of this country.
Thanks for this perspective.
I'm not sure that $5000 goes a long way with senators. Can you even buy a full page newspaper advert in a regional paper with that?
Isn’t this well known? I thought that this has been well known since at least April, but apparently I’m wrong!
> The Capability Trap. The core idea is that you have pressure to deliver a product (get "real" work done), but also maintain or improve your ability to do the work.

This nudged a decade-old memory of how non-profits (and to an extent, the public sector) find it much easier to get funding for specific outcomes, but incredibly hard to get funding for what they usually call "capacity building". The medium-term solution seems to be outsourcing to a vendor that can both deliver an outcome and amortize capacity building across many customers in your sector, but over the long term this leads to a form of organizational learned helplessness, and vendors that eventually switch to rent-extraction rather than delivering outcomes or building capacity (or rather, the capacity they are still building is largely the ability to secure contracts).

Ironically, the longer the vendor takes to switch to a rent-extraction strategy (and the more slowly they boil the frog), the more entrenched they become as a defacto standard, and the harder it becomes to eventually displace them (for a competitor) or replace them (for a customer) as a vendor.
So, I agree it's an interesting idea, and I think this small study could hopefully spur more conclusive ones, but...

1) N=45

2) based on "semi-structured phone interview"

Neither of these is a deal-breaker, but what you'd really prefer is some sort of objective measure of sleep quantity, and how it impacted the person. Teenagers are, by and large, entirely aware that when adults ask them questions, they are likely to draw conclusions about policy towards teenagers. They want to sleep later. How likely is it that they would admit it, if they didn't really get any more sleep out of this?

Not saying it's not true, or that it isn't an interesting idea to try to put this "natural experiment" to work somehow, but I'm not sure this is really enough to draw any conclusions, and I actually already agreed with their conclusion before seeing this study.

A better method might be to compare home-school students to public schools, or compare summer-break to school year, and to use some more objective metric than a phone interview.
How do class D amps sound? In my limited amplifier build history, tubes still win over transistor based amps every time. Mosfet amps sound great in the mids and highs and bipolar sounds great in the lows, but neither of them beat nice tube designs.
I agree, and I am very concerned and scared about that possibility. I hope to god Democrats do everything in their power to win the runoffs in Georgia, but it may simply not be achievable.

America's political system—as it exists right now—is fundamentally broken. Politicians have discovered that it is not in the minority party's interest to compromise, and so they don't, and nothing whatsoever gets done.

I don't blame Biden for any of this, however. But I'm extremely concerned.
Trump also got way more votes than he did in 2016, so that stat is kinda meaningless. Biden could have done better than 2016 Trump and still lost.

GA and WI are probably going to end up with less than 1% difference between the two candidates, and PA might end up at 1 - 2%. Those aren't huge margins regardless of how they got counted.
It has more to do with the fact that every first world economy is visibly broken and very unequal. It's not unique to the US.
> Both cases are well explained by the Overton Window.

It was un/acceptable by politicians because it was un/acceptable by the voting public.
That's a tautilogical categorization, not an explanation.
I like the Cunningham quote at the end: “… it was important to me that we accumulate the learnings we did about the application over time by modifying the program to look as if we had known what we were doing all along and to look as if it had been easy to do ….”

When I simplify stuff on the second iteration, I often feel like I'm missing something. But when I go back, all I find is misconceptions lost.
Biden is going to be the most pro-Black President in history, even more than Obama (due to a better political climate).

He literally ran his campaign as a repudiation of Charlottesville and White supremacy. (See: His announcement speech.) Biden's VP is Black, and he personally insisted on that.

Racial justice is literally the core of Biden's platform, and he'll deliver for Blacks (and against White supremacists) like no other President in history.

It's hard to have an intellectual debate in 120-character snippets on platforms that promote outrage over reason.
It was, wasn't it? Even every neighboring country if memory serves well. With a total disregard for civilians.
If you did log in, whether you remember your credentials or not, a company can send you transactional emails, marketing emails, or both. CAN-SPAM does not cover emails that are “primarily” transactional, even if the email is part marketing. Companies are legally allowed to require authentication for updating the subscription settings of transactional email. And you wouldn’t want it any other way, otherwise someone could easily spoof you and unsubscribe you from notifications from your bank about your bank account, or other important email you depend on.
My biggest concern is how seemingly so many conservative people are becoming huge conspiracy theorists. I don't mean normal conspiracy theories like there being something more behind the JFK assassination, but like QAnon, Bill Gates injecting people with microchips, Pizzagate, etc. A lot of people in my own family in a rather backwards state believe that stuff. It's making me completely lose faith in this country and I'm seriously considering getting out because of this widespread idiocy.

How do you even begin to "meet in the middle" or have reasonable conversations with people who believe in that stuff?

.. I can't believe I made that mistake, and the first reply didn't notice.
I accomplish this with the same `?fields` query param and it is fractal. You can specify which _fields_ of the relations below the User you also want.

If `User` had `groups` and `groups` had `permissions`, then I can do:

let results = await fetch('/rest/Users/?fields=' + JSON.stringify(
{
id: true,
first_name: true,
groups: {
name: true,
permissions: {
name: true
}
}
});

My system has its limitations however. It can't do relational constraints like GraphQL or renaming of fields, but it is likely the 20% that gets you 80% of the way.
Anecdotal of course, but I've found myself getting out of breath significantly faster when doing squats wearing a cloth mask. Deadlifts, bench press, and overhead press not so much so there seems to be something particular to the squat.
Nice too peek behind the curtain and see some of the effort and thought going into the ‘cold emails’. As a recipient of several thousand in my work email over the years, as an IT contact, I often wonder who’s writing them, and if I was on a list or directly targeted. Although I can offer my anecdote as a lead about the two I have responded to- 1) sent on New Year’s Day offering basketball tickets to a suite for a meet and greet, and 2) a $50 Amazon gift card for doing a 5 minute survey.
Interesting - I didn't realize that AirPods have class-D amps.
Not sure of your point?

Here are the major factors I've looked at: The previously mentioned (and most significant by far) years of experience (which for many women is affected by having children), hours spent at work, self-rated confidence, (personality trait) agreeableness, etc. etc.
My country does have a worthwhile army and an independent nuclear deterrent. I am dismayed that you can imagine that the European Nato members can't field significant forces, that would be very insular thinking. Sure they don't have stealth bombers and super-carriers...

My country has also supported the United States in many of its foreign campaigns as an ally supplying manpower and materiel to Afghanistan and several gulf wars for instance.

The sub-text is that my country spends a great deal of it's 2% on American weapons, which is not true of some of our Nato neighbour's. When I hear the USA demanding more this is what I hear, 'spend more on US made arms' not 'build a better army'. That is why I call it tribute.
The thing that will sit deep within me for at least the next few years is that, no matter how you slice it, a vote for Trump is complicit acceptance of his divisive and harmful behavior. Of course you don't need to be a racist to vote for Trump, but you do need to fear the other options so much that you agree that his behavior and the way that he represents our country to the rest of the world is tolerable compared to what might come after him.

I was on the phone with my mom earlier and one of her friends called her up. She's a republican, but they avoid politics. She asked her, genuinely afraid, if she thought that Harris would steal the presidency and convert the country to socialism. She's not an idiot. She's a physician, but was still so caught up in fear mongering that she genuinely believed that the government would steal her income and that there would be riots in the streets as we turn into a third world nation. I'm going to think about her differently after hearing that.

This is probably the first time in my life where I am going to look at people differently based on who they voted for and I hate that. However, I can't get it out of my head that they voted for a president that has so disgraced the highest office in our country and that they did it because of a fear of the future burning so far inside them that they felt another four years of Trump was preferable to even as bland of a change as a Biden presidency will be.
I think it's less notable than the media is making it out to be. In 2016, Trump was an unknown quantity to minorities. It was presumed that as a conservative xenophobe with racially charged rhetoric he was a monstrous individual, and people voted on that mere presumption. In 2020 the majority people of color still believed that he was unsuitable, and hence voted accordingly. But people's lives are not monolithic. Some minorities, regardless of group, prospered on a personal level over the past 4 years. They did better, their families did better, they were not dissatisfied with their lives under Trump. For some of those people, that personal reality took priority over what some call "tribal" politics. So they voted for more of the same.

It's for basically that reason that incumbent politicians are usually favored to win. As long as people's lives go generally okay, they want to stick with the devil they know.
Please stop repeating the same comment, silently editing it, and deleting it when it's downvoted? You're very clearly not going to get any substantive replies.

Biden won because people have legitimate issues with Trump. Deride it as "the propaganda machine" and other nonsense all you like. But this administration has a mind-boggling amount of documented fact-checked lies, clear nepotism, a history of censoring government agencies and intimidating federal employees who disagree, and putting out some of the most absurd propaganda we've seen in this country in modern history. It's astounding that this administration's chief complaints about the other side are always exemplified by the administration themselves. And people mindlessly repeat it without a shred of irony.
Apple has always distinguished between interactive apps and read/view-only content.

Music/Movies are in all countries regulated by well established rules which govern what level of objectionable content is permitted i.e. you will never find porn on Netflix. Apps/Games have similar regulations in some countries but definitely not all. So Apple has opted to "fill in the blanks".
>The existence of an organization like NATO means that (a) none of the member nations are going to fight each other

Not necessarily. Greece and Turkey have been an intra-NATO flashpoint for decades, and tensions there have recently flared up again.

This is actually, in any jurisdiction, what I take the most issues with: presidential systems headed by practically very soon-to-be-dead men. I have changed with age; surely the flexibility, inventiveness, and power an individual can constructively wield on his own is highly impacteded by age. Half-dead men should retire, not take office, or consult, at the utmost.

This fact is more illustrative of whatever divide the US is under than anything else. It's generational conflict. And face it, the American president is not of any generation that has yet to build their future. A waxy president who is full of thought and reflection might not be the wise emperor who is still mighty enough to control the backstabbing theatre that is politics.

Effectively, in terms of foreign policy, I think nothing, absolutely nothing will change. From a non-American point of view, Trump did nothing too different from what Clinton would have done, and a Biden will not do something too different from what a Trump would do. Or do what he is told, for that matter.
The electoral college advantage doesn’t systematically advantage republicans: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2014/04/2.... Don’t forget that Obama’s “blue wall” states are smaller than average and benefit from the EC. And they’re historically quite progressive economically. Obama in fact had a structural EC advantage in 2012: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/did-democrats-get-lucky...

> In fact, Mr. Obama would probably have won the Electoral College even if the popular vote had slightly favored Mitt Romney.

> If all states had shifted toward Mr. Romney by 5.3 percentage points, Mr. Obama would still have won Colorado and therefore the Electoral College — despite losing the national popular vote by 1.5 points.

Losing the upper Midwest produces an EC disadvantage for Democrats, but that’s not an impediment to a traditional progressive candidate in the Sanders mold.

Moreover, the EC gives an average of a few point advantage one way or the other. It’s not enough for a “much more progressive” candidate. You can see this by looking at the House popular vote, which is proportional (and not affected by gerrymandering). Republicans regularly win the House popular vote: https://fivethirtyeight.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/chat-...
Perhaps it's often been that way in the USA (and elsewhere).

The outsiders make the progress.

Also, my dad was able to get healthcare under the ACA, at a time we really needed it. I don't know how much credit for that belongs to Biden alone, but he was a part of it. He's passed away now, but I'm thankful my mom didn't have to mortgage their home at the time.

The great thing about ammonia is you can make it with just water, air, and electric power, and run the conversion only when you have excess power to burn.

The next great thing is that, made under a wind farm, it is directly useful, on the regular farm often found underneath, as both fuel and fertilizer. Excess can be sold to the next farm over. So, no fuel or fertilizer transport costs.

The third is that it provides a sink for power generation a long ways away from any power grid termination. So, it opens up huge swaths of territory where windmills would not be built, despite plentiful wind and space.

> Could there be a class action lawsuit against the various companies whose recommendation engines hijacked people's attention to recommend and reinforce this garbage?

People like to hand-wring about "the algorithm", but then they seem to fall short[1] of understanding that exposure, impressions, and engagement are sold to the highest bidders on social media platforms. Not only that, the platforms allow fine-grained targeting of users based on tomes of data collected on them.

These recommender systems don't just hijack people's attentions as a side effect of increasing engagement, it is by design in pathologically manipulative and anti-user way.

It isn't a coincidence that those with money and an agenda[2] can inject money into social media platforms and have their content spread like wildfire.

It would be cool if Georgism or at least Land Value taxes made a bigger come back. My hopes are low after seeing Prop 15 fail in California though. I think we're sadly not even close to the breaking point. It will probably require the proportion of renters:owners to increase among older people.

> Where did all the intellect go?

I think that's the key point. Decades of undermining the education system, plus many other problems such as "big money lobbying" is likely what led to such extremisms.

You know... the key metric of "education" used to be "what percentage of your population can read and write". By that measure, the US is fairly "educated". However, just like the value of each dollar goes down as the economy grows (i.e. inflation), I think it's important to apply a similar idea to education; just as the access to information increases, the value of _only_ being able to read and write is no longer enough to be considered as "educated".
