Semi-related: "Why old dogs are the best dogs" https://theweek.com/articles/511596/why-old-dogs-are-best-do...

> Puppies are incomparably cute and incomparably entertaining, and, best of all, they smell exactly like puppies. At middle age, a dog has settled into the knuckleheaded matrix of behavior we find so appealing — his unquestioning loyalty, his irrepressible willingness to please, his infectious happiness. But it is not until a dog gets old that his most important virtues ripen and coalesce. Old dogs can be cloudy-eyed and grouchy, gray of muzzle, graceless of gait, odd of habit, hard of hearing, pimply, wheezy, lazy, and lumpy. But to anyone who has ever known an old dog, these flaws are of little consequence. Old dogs are vulnerable. They show exorbitant gratitude and limitless trust. They are without artifice. They are funny in new and unexpected ways. But, above all, they seem at peace.
How Jörg is really spelled in a passport? Because names in passports are restricted to ASCII as far as I remember. And to get to Ecuador one has to fly (I guess?), and airplane ticketing systems are the worst when it comes to names.
Anyone wanting to do the above should first check what ocsp.apple.com resolves to for them -- looks like the responses vary by geographical location.
Interestingly, in your example it is often quite possible to negotiate or haggle on price when you are dealing with an independent agent. Employees who don’t have that agency in the business are unable to budge on price.

I can’t completely tell whether you are agreeing with me or not, but I think that example reinforces that Uber drivers are exploited employees with the benefit of a flexible schedule.
Why should I care about a subreddit? They are all probably moderated by the same poeple. It could be one person got offended and happens to be a mod
France has an anti-circumvention law.
But the 1050 is a specialized GPU vs the general-purpose M1, and besides, the 1050 is from only three years ago. So what do you think the relationship between XTX6080 and and M4 will look like three years in the future?
If the FBI did that, that's entrapment and might be an eligible defense. However, if the FBI assisted or even encouraged an existing plot, then I don't think it would qualify.

> Entrapment is a practice whereby a law enforcement agent or agent of the state induces a person to commit a "crime" that the person would have otherwise been unlikely or unwilling to commit

> Depending on the law in the jurisdiction, the prosecution may be required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was not entrapped or the defendant may be required to prove that they were entrapped as an affirmative defense.

I think this will happen right after the US adopts Metric Time.
They started PRA of Shuttle after Challenger [1]. I got that number from the SLS PRA and Reliability people, and might have read it in a report too, but I don't remember many more details about it. There's a lot that goes into PRA [2].

Shuttle size was dictated by intended cargo and maneuvers, so it's not really possible to say how changing size would affect it since you'd have completely different design constraints and objectives.

> Jony Ive IMO is one of the worst designers in modern history despite of his success.

I don't disagree with you. The Macbooks I've had for the past 10 or so years all had several design flaws that were never addressed.

Try opening a macbook with just one hand, you can't, because there's not enough dent to allow you to lift the screen from the keyboard.

Or, try to use the arrows. Pathetic.

You (Ive) have the best resources in the world, and yet you make these absolutely stupid mistakes.

I can't understand it.
I love my X1 (also 7th). This is the laptop which made me retire my actual desktop. Bought a docking station and a MOTU 8A for sound connectivity, and have no need for a classical desktop since.

I am not into gaming or graphics though. Still, with my (unusual) usage pattern I get almost 10 hours battery life time on the road, and all the CPU power I need locally. For heavy stuff, I compile remotely anyway.
A valid argument. British Raj instantly comes to mind.
People (specifically, the people who ran our public discourse) used to agree that having a persecuted underclass was acceptable. Now, some people do and some people don't, and as is common among groups who disagree about a fundamental aspect of how society should operate, there is some tension.
Dwitter sets up a minimal shim with a canvas `c` and 2d context `x`, and some shortcuts to math functions sin `S`, cos `C`, tan `T`, and then runs a 60 FPS loop with time `t`.

The code is run in this loop with those variables in non-strict mode to allow various hacky things e.g `with()` that are invaluable for code golfing.

The eval escape unescape trick extracts two chars in the ASCII space from each UTF16 character. Here's the encoder: https://www.dwitter.net/d/11852
You can see the content by removing the eval and just outputting the string... alternatively replace 'eval' with 'throw' on dwitter and it will print the source bellow the dweet.

I don't agree with Turchin's thesis that the US is in trouble because it's producing too many elites who don't have places in upper society. If anything, America's elite problem is under-competition rather than over-competition.

American elites don't compete with each other in any meaningful way; they conspire with each other to exploit the public. Notice that nominally opposing businesses both funded California prop 22 to entrench the right of these elites to under-pay their workers. This kind of elite collusion is endemic across American society.

The reason American society is in danger is that decades of elite collusion, combined with the intentional use of cultural wedge issues as electoral levers, have left many Americans economically vulnerable and has misdirected their anger at minorities rather than at the people who have picked their pockets clean.

Vulnerable and angry people are prime targets for demagogues, and that's how the US wound up with Trump.

The evolution of American social divides into issues of morality (see eg: https://imgur.com/a2dTuWZ , or https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/reaching-out-to-trump-voters-... ) in recent years has likely damaged American society irrecoverably. People who have diametrically opposed moral worldviews can't work together.
Drug use amd drug-related crime also increased during the 60’s. That is a confounding factor in the crime argument.
> My generation decided that we'd rather get rich and then let our kids choke to death on our waste products.

i think this really has to do with the paralysis of our public (and private) institutions to deal with externalities... in the 60s and 70s even a hard-core conservative like nixon would pass amendments to the clean air act or establish the epa... nowadays, even obama couldnt pass a new act through congress with even a majority in both houses!

we have institutional paralysis, and it will take a lot of work (or immediate crisis) to unwind the monied (and self) interests' influence on the system (imo)

The project I'm working on does this -- we define high level semantic entity types, and from that you can:

- Define APIs that take those entities as inputs, automatically validating API arguments for you, automatically generating documentation, and driving API consistency.

- Can represent those entities in memory without writing any custom code beyond the schema.

- As mentioned above, you don't have to write manual code to validate your entities, that's done for you from the schema.

- Automatically generates database tables for those entity types without having to maintain a separate database schema, and can serialize/deserialize entities into or out of the database without having to write SQL. Acts like a document based database but still allows the power of relational SQL matching.

- From git diffs, automatically produce expressions that specify how the entity types have evolved over time, and then have the ability to apply those entity type diffs to a production server & database.

- Automatically maps natural language onto the schema allowing NLU queries like "orders today in Canada" to be turned into a semantic representation that the database can natively understand and execute, with control to override default NLU mappings if the default mapping isn't working right.

- Automatically generates web UIs for viewing and editing entities.

- Supports dynamic applicability to be defined so that whether a property is applicable, and which values are valid, can be defined as a dynamic function of other property values.

- Supports inferred properties to be defined in either an inference rule approach, or a functional approach.
> Democrat-led legislation passed in 1964 and 1965

Fun fact: a greater percentage of Republican representatives (76.4%) and senators (81.8%) voted in favor of the Civil Rights act of 1964 than Democrat representatives (60.4%) and senators (68.66%).

https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/88-1964/s409

The same is true of the 1965 Voting Rights Act: 80% of Republican representatives and 93.75% of Republican senators voted in favor, vs 75.4% of Democrat representatives and 69.1% of Democrat senators.

Outliving your parents is very perspective changing.

Your longtime friends look old.
My question is whether we speak of a specific deliverable here, or a body of work.

The path is half the battle. Furthermore, getting a [DRAFT] out and interacting with the team has a catalytic effect.

Ain't about me. I'm singular. The team is plural. I'm at my location on the curve, with some leading me, some lagging.

As a contractor, my good work is for the sake of good work, and the knowledge it brings. That immaculately polished cannonball of a deliverable? Going under a bus.

But when postings only focus on the excesses of one particular political regime in one corner of a field, it becomes a meta-rhetorical device. When I see similar analyses presented on Mao, Stalin, French revolutionaries, and the motley crew of past authoritarians, left and right, I will be as sanguine as you.

When papers/media exclusively cover the crimes of only one group (blacks, Jews, etc.), you would agree that would be (in the case of Nazis was) a concern from the standpoint of manipulating public opinion.

Only highlighting the dangers of Nazi Germany in a forum, and never talking about similar abuses in other left-wing regimes? Now that is chilling.
I'm that case, I always want the latest PC build every year that ends up costing at least $10k, regardless of the fact that I have literally no use for 1TB of RAM.
>Apple didn't specify if they're counting by model or total sales,

If it was Model they would be spinning it. But they said sold in the past year. I dont know how anyone else would interpret it, but in financial and analytics that is very clearly implying unit sold.

Your [1] is Laptop with Tablet, total Laptop market is about $100B, although this year we might see a sharp increase cause of pandemic.

Let say there are $10 Gaming Laptop market. So 10% of Market Value are going to Gaming Laptop. Total Laptop Market includes Chromebook, so if you do ASP averaging I would expect at least 3x ( if not 4x or higher ) difference in Gaming and Rest of Laptop Market. So your hypothesis of "All Gaming Laptop" would be faster than M1 gives you roughly 3.3% of the Marketshare. Not too far off 2%.

And all of that is before we put any performance number into comparison.
> If you're only looking at racism or sexism or whatever, you're ignoring the bigger and more insidious social problems that are individual and pervade small groups and families everywhere.

Oh, I'm not, that's what I meant by an extra level of problems, not that it explains everything, but it may exacerbate it by giving more things for people to key off of that aren't based on rational measures.

What I meant is along the lines of "yes, dealing with groups is annoying because there's all sorts of weird group dynamics and people making assumptions and not re-evaluations based on new evidence, and then it gets worse for those people that have identifying characteristics that allow people to make even more baseless assumptions.
> you're writing 3 separate schemas that all do slightly different but not really different things

This right here is the siren song of ORMs and many other code generation solutions. They are indeed different, with different concerns. Storage concerns and query concerns are different than your business/domain concepts and those are different than an external API. They're related and it would be nice if they were the same but fundamentally they are not.
How many people die from guns excluding accidents, law enforcement, suicides, etc in US?

How many of them illegally owned guns or had committed a crime with them?

How poor the area was?

What is the impact of media on encouraging mass gun shootings?

It's established that publishing news of suicide encourages more copy cats and the participants are co-related in some way. News of young people committing suicide encourages other young people and so on.

I support improved gun control laws but how much of it will be solved by it at the cost of freedom?

There is some discussion related to this in Adam Curtis's Century of the Self:

I’ve been finding Glenn’s content hard to follow despite wanting more critical, independent journalism very badly. It feels contrarian and insubstantial since his exit from The Intercept, though. I haven’t read anything insightful or informative from him.

I don’t mean to rain on things. I would like to be more excited about independent journalism (and I was until I read it - I subscribed to his content immediately) but I’m really struggling to find much more value in the content than anywhere else.

What do you like about it? That’s a sincere question. Maybe I’m out of line here, not reading closely, being grumpy, something.
> If a conglomerate has a dominate position in a marketplace, doesn't its administration face many of the same problems and challenges just like a central planner? In this situation, from a technical perspective, which are the similarities and differences here?

Yes they do. the differences are that they are still dependent on goods that their own firm doesn't produce, so the prices of those goods discipline their budget/plans to some degree, the firm is unable to use violence to compel the behavior they need to survive, and that as they call victim to the same central planning problems as governments, their marginal profit decreases so that the owner sees less profit and the price of a share of ownership decreases because of that.

That and wars happening at the same time and also in the near past that uh, also killed a lot of people.

It’s not really the same thing, but US and European governments have lawfully sent more of their own innocent citizens to the grave in this century than any criminals ever. Then again the commenter was trying to equivocate opposition to civil rights as a law and order issue.

I tried this. When I download a csv, I get a lot of comas. Excel automatically ignores the last empty rows and columns.

Also, the file use LF, but the users of window expect CR/LF.

Does it handle quoted comas inside cells?
It's a nice story but the problem is it does not fly in China, Russia, or the Middle East. While some of them have age of consent laws the reality is the act is just not viewed in the same light as it is in the US and Europe. So unless we were setting up allies the idea of trapping our enemies in humiliating situations with underage girls just does not hold a lot of weight. The problem is the facts are buried, but it sounds like a convienent excuse to me.
> As to "getting out" of "being cancelled" by "mobs" I wouldn't know since I already have trouble identifying what that's supposed to mean.

I have a strong suspicion that you know what I mean, you just don't want to recognize that. If you indeed know nothing about cancel culture, I envy whatever bubble you reside in, and I wish I could organize my life to never encounter it too, however it is not so for me. If you pretend not to know about it because you don't want to engage in discussion about it, well, I certainly can't force you.

> And, yes, of course there are people apologising for all sorts of behaviour that's being criticised every day.

You may find it hard to believe, but I actually know people do such thing as "apologizing". I do it myself once in a while. My question was in specific context of the comment "Agreed. Apologizing may keep the mob size small and insignificant." and related to this context, not to general act of apologizing and whether or not it is practiced in human society. I think you have missed this context and from that follows your trouble to identify what I supposed to mean. I think I made it cleared now, or at least did as much as I could to make it clear.
Intriguing, but: I don't think it's working as intended from my Brave browser.

After about 2 seconds of blue/green pings that seem faster than should be possible (<10ms), it goes full red.

It does work in Chrome! (Perhaps, Brave is doing some faster-fail on the probe request from the beginning, and then a cached-insta-failure after ~2 seconds?)
> In a Capitalist system, most people have little assets; and most assets are under the control of a minority (which becomes relatively smaller over time.

do you have any evidence for this?
Seems pretty obviously to show what mainstream GPU it is closest to in performance. Especially for the first benchmark, the figures are suspiciously close.

It seems amazing that Apple can make its own desktop chips now - imagine if the origin Apple had an apple chip instead of a 6502! OTOH, everyone used to design their own CPUs, like Sun and Acorn. Wozniak too.
The 'switch places' narrative is absurdly simplistic. Taken at face value, it would suggest FDR and his New Deal should be viewed as a modern Republican.
I am aware of that, thanks, but the fact that the Democratic president was the one who led passage of the Civil Rights Act, while his 1964 Republican opponent’s campaign focused on opposition to the Civil Rights Act, means that civil rights legislation was in fact “Democrat-led.” It is also relevant that most of the Democrats who voted against the Civil Rights Act had become Republican by the 80s.
What @tomxor said! To try it out, go to https://example.com and run the following setup code first:

c = document.createElement('canvas');
document.body.appendChild(c);
x = c.getContext('2d');
S = Math.sin;
T = Math.tan;
C = Math.cos;
t = 0;

You will then be able to paste the tweet code `eval(unescape(...` into the console and see one frame rendered. :-)

Most of the actual "law" governing these areas, though, has been made by court decisions rather than statute. Those court decisions have been driven by activist judges who were Democrats. If we were actually living under the legal regime established by the statutes you refer to, without all that has been added on by court decisions, I think the state of cooperation would be better than it is.

I think it is a moot argument if you know the history of silk and nylon.

Nylon stockings were on par and better than silk stockings until they pushed silk stockings out of market. Then they became what we know them today - wear once or twice and buy new.
Libertarian is not a well defined word. I have a friend who identifies as a Socialist and a Libertarian. He believes that true libertarianism (anarchy) would result in a collapse of capitalism since there would be no state to enforce private property rights.

So yeah, always gotta find out what a person means when they say "Libertarian"
