> When the offender takes full responsibility for one's wrongdoing, a simple statement saying "I am sorry." may help build the trust. This is particularly true if there is a story of good relationship with the offender; In most cases however, it will be insufficient.

It doesn't explicitly address "I'm sorry, but..." phrasing, but does suggest limiting apologies to specifically acknowledging what was done (and the pain it caused), accepting responsibility, and expressing regret.

There's an introspective journal written about the run-up to WWII, which although personal also takes in societal and political observations, by Louis MacNeice, called Autumn Journal. In it, he writes:

And the individual, powerless, has to exert the

Powers of will and choice

And choose between enormous evils, either

Of which depends on somebody else’s voice.

It's, maybe, 80 or so pages of poetry, but imo well worth reading. It's available, among other places, at the Internet Archive:

There may not be hard limits on tobacco or alcohol use but they do tend to have very high "sin" taxes on those items. Those who use the most pay the most. It is imperfect but probably the best we can do without going full surveillance state in people's homes.
An example of a false dichotomy if ever there was one.

In reality there is a whole continuum of options, such as reducing the number of relatives you visit, or not visiting them at the height of a wave of infections.

And of course "you die anyway a bit later" isn't true, with a vaccine on the way.
I think about the worst public mistake I've made, multiply the panic and embarrassment by about 1000x, and that maybe starts to approximate what must have gone through Toobin's mind when he heard his colleagues calling out to him on the Zoom video. First, the confusion -- "why is everyone calling out my name all of the sudden?". Then he shifts his attention back to the conference... "there's no way they saw me". Then "How did they see me!??!?". Then "can I deny this?" Then eventually... "I think my life is ruined." How do you look someone in the eye again, when you know they know? His life over in an instant, all because he misjudged the line-of-sight from his camera (while making the horrible decision to "relax" while on a work call). One slip, and his world collapsed.

Most of us skate right up to the edge of disaster on a daily basis, and aren't even aware of it. One distraction and you forget you had something frying in the kitchen; or you crash your car; or you reply-all by mistake; or you bitch about your boss on the team-wide Slack channel instead of the 1:1 channel you thought you were on.
There's far too much cash sloshing around, lots of malinvestment since too many dollars are looking for returns.

You worry about the entrepreneur who asks the Venture Capitalist, and their MO is 'take on <DoorDash/etc>'. Instead of worrying about our hypothetical entrepreneur with a lousy funding rationale, I worry about the structure of the market proving it's 100% inevitable someone will try and undercut them, by virtue of the magnitude of malinvestment present today.

You can call it whatever you want, but you're using the analogy to make an argument, and the analogy is extreme.
If governments enforced COVID restrictions as well as they enforce speeding and DUIs, we wouldn't have to rely on people being smart and considerate. All these stay at home "orders" and mask "mandates" and they didn't mean squat and had little effect because almost nobody was fined or went to jail for violating them.

It's the easiest thing to enforce, too. In my city alone, a single police officer with two functioning eyes could probably issue hundreds of mask violations a day. It's not like you have to search someone or go out of your way to see they aren't wearing a mask.
I'll bet Jack Ma wishes it had been listed at the NYSE now.

I'll bet future Chinese companies will be asking themselves same question.
Definitely not traveling for any family (or otherwise) gatherings. It will be the first Christmas I haven't done this, but it's really not a difficult choice at all.
The mask mandate is part of a larger discussion on what can be required of you because of covid 19. Many places right now are testing the waters to decide who you may and may not be with during Thanksgiving as a simple example. These discussions happen together with masks, not separately.
Thank you, I had forgotten about the assault weapons ban and the fairness doctrine.

The reason I said that about sexual mores is because from my perspective almost all of the increases in personal freedom since the civil rights era have been related to that, and other freedoms have mostly been on a steady decline since that time. Don’t get me wrong, it’s good for people to not be forced into some religion’s definition of a ‘good relationship’, but if that’s the only thing heading in the right direction and everything else from an individual rights perspective is heading in the wrong direction it’s a distinction very much worth considering.

I'm assuming by "this" you mean "Ant's IPO gets shut down because of Ma's comments". This "rule by law", which is different. In rule of law, the king is bound by the law. In rule by law, the king decides which law you broke and prosecutes you for it.
There ain't no stopping the DMCA train. I started hosting my own code at gopherworks.io if you want to see what that roughly looks like.

My idea is that, as I said, I can't stop the DMCA train but it's a whole lot harder to take on thousands of small Giteas and SourceHuts than it is to open a pull request on GitHub. We can get the meta-wins of GitHub later by designing some aggregators that talk to Gitea and SourceHut in efficient ways in the future, but for now the pressing matter is to decentralize code hosting, in my view.
There is no country that doesn't have a managed economy. Trade deals, subsidies, gov sponsoships, immigration restrictions, etc. All these are form of economy management to protect the tax sources and (try) to balance the out/in cash flow.

In an ideal world they would not be needed but in todays day and age when countries are not developed equally they are necesary to protect your tax sources and keep the cash flow in the internal economy instead of it being sent somewhere else.
just gonna put this right here

I have heard this story multiple times. But if it's true, then why are roads pretty much the same, as concerns walking vs driving, wherever you go in the world?

If things would have naturally been different if only it weren't for some lobbyists, how come things aren't that way at least somewhere?
The popular vote should win is still popular on left. In large part because both Clinton on Biden won popular vote.

And partly because they don't count as real Americans in popular rhetoric and are getting increasingly ressentful about that.
This makes it seem like modules are strictly inferior, if you can't assign names to common requirements.
It is difficult to think of many businesses that have benefited more from Donald Trump’s presidency — aside from the Trump-family empire — than the Times. After Trump’s election, in 2016, subscriptions grew at ten times their usual rate, and they have never looked back. The Times has gone from just over three million subscribers at the beginning of the Trump presidency to its record of more than 7 million last month. It has hired hundreds of journalists to staff a newsroom that is now 1,700 people strong — bigger than ever. Its stock has risen fourfold since Trump took office, and the Times has consolidated its Trump bump into a business that includes Serial Productions, the podcast juggernaut; Audm, the audio-translation business; and a TV show based on the Times series “Modern Love” that was filming its second season this summer, until a COVID-19 false positive on-set forced it to halt shooting.

I think this is key. The journalist Matt Taibbi has been chronicling this and writing detailed analysis of the trend that these 'center-left' publications became suddenly 'far left' (culturally, not economically, if you ask me), very hyperpartisan coastal establishment DNC. Most importantly, the incentive structures within these organizations have found ways to 'weed out' those who don't toe the line: Trump out at any cost.

Don't get me wrong; I'm not lamenting Trump being out. I'm lamenting journalistic integrity being out. It's now fully acceptable to wage a war with a newspaper, something we criticized Fox and the Murdoch papers for doing. But the real loss here is the independent spirit; an independent mind holds opinion even if everyone in the room downvotes them, if they think that opinion is correct and supported with reason. Instead, what we have is a sort of herd mentality where the group decides what's good and bad.

That tech people were hired in droves and this is the result, I find quite scary given how influential young tech companies have become.

Most recently the Times wrote an article that asks the question, on the topic of the beheading in France of the teacher, did France do it to themselves? In reference to the Mohammed cartoons and its secular tradition. Additionally the Times seemed to support suppressing The NY Post's account based on their Biden article.

^^ Both of these examples would never be tolerated by the ethical journalists of yesteryear, when seeking the truth, no matter how ugly took precedence over hyper-partisan The End Justifies the Means attitude being seen here.

But it really comes down to money, doesn't it. As Taibbi documents, the Fox News model has spread to MSNBC and CNN, and of course the Times and Washington Post. Cater to your base is more profitable an idea. That's the real reason the Cotton thing was removed and an editor fired; they feared they'd upset their reader base - their clients.
I'm not sure I follow. Assuming I have this right, there are no "off year" elections in a parliamentary system like in Canada. Elections occur when the government in power receives a vote of no confidence. In a minority government situation this could be the first session after an election. In the rare occasion that a government makes its 5 year term limit, the PM will "drop the writ" at a strategic point to queue up an election.

Municipal elections do occur on a schedule here, but I don't think that's relevant since it's hyper local.

> Denying that you have made a mistake is likely to piss off the people who would otherwise be willing to move on.

Which is why you don't deny it either; you move on, avoiding the Streisand Effect as best as possible by not engaging. It's passive denial vs. active denial.

I'm not saying this is moral or good - I'm only saying that it seems to work for people. It's a question of game theory. We can get better apologies if we start to accept apologies and move on with our lives, but the mob wants blood and these days the public apology only serves as an admission of guilt, absolving the mob of any evil when they pull the person apart limb from limb.

Doesn't IPSec operate at the same level as TCP/UDP?

TCP is protocol 6, UDP protocol 17; while IPsec uses protocol 50 for ESP (encrypted) and 51 for AH (authenticated).
Yes, the title is very misleading. It's very important to educate people about this.
My first thought was that's like Monster Cable margins.

On the other hand... the materials cost of an egg roll in quantity 10 is $0.51 based no some research I just did. In general a restaurant should expect to price a menu item at 4X food cost, so right around the $2.00 mark.

how does one know what they actually deserve? Is there a number tattooed on their left arm, or something like that?
Here, in a northern Michigan county that is spiking, compliance is decent but I see a few people pulling their mask aside pretty much anywhere I go.

What's a mistake?
Fuck society; why do other people get to choose the risks I take? Socialized gains (this kind of vaccine doesn't primarily protect the healthy individual receiving it) and private losses at their finest.

This argument is literally "it's okay to kill people as long as it's for the common good". Fuck subhuman collectivist scum who believe this. I'd have marginally more respect for a society which openly admitted this belief and acted upon it directly by strictly quarantining the infected and vulnerable; at least then they'd be evil but helping as opposed to evil and not helping.
I find this very funny. You have made a mistake? then starts this algorithm and you are all done !

> that you are sorry about the harm/damage/waste/confusion your mistake caused (being specific would demonstrate understanding);

I have big problem with apologizes, you don't owe apologies because you made a mistake, apologizing will not change anything, you can easily not feel the apologies you are making.
I recently had a coworker point out to me a grammatical error I keep repeating, flush vs flesh, that he had reminded me of a year ago.

I recently pointed out to a different coworker some whitespace inconsistency in a pull request in a similar fashion as I had pointed out a while back.

In digging deeper into both situations where I was the reporter or the reportee, the issue came down to legitimate lack of agreement on whether it was indeed a mistake.
There are multi-paradigm languages like Scala which address that concern, at the cost of higher complexity.
There is a certain sense where this is communism's central failing. If we remove all the moral components of mass starvation due to idealistic utopianism, the central tenet of communism is materialism and consequently that all human ingenuity reduces to computation. This means that we should in theory be able to replace human capitalists with a giant computer.

But, if materialism is wrong, and humans have a trans-computational reasoning ability, then this means even at a theoretical level communism is fatally flawed, because the economy is intrinsically reliant upon human ingenuity and thus must be capitalistic, because the economy rides upon the locus of the individual human mind which can never, not even in theory, be replaced by a computer.

In a certain sense, the amoral repudiation of communism is even more powerful, because even the cold blooded bureaucratic bean counters behind the revolution can no longer even appeal to clear minded rationalism to justify their political philosophy.

It is not a coincidence that Marx envisioned a mechanical singularity as the apex of the inevitable communist revolution. Also may explain the strong communist and materialist leanings in the elite of the tech sector, along with the collaboration between the tech elite and the CCP.

Redefining problems is good when flaws in the original definitions are found.

AI has perhaps, maybe passed human intelligence in 0.005% of applications.

It's 2020 and we still have steering wheels in cars.

If we replaced the word "AI" with "statistics" we'd be a lot closer to describing where we are.
The US is also a massive country comprised of isolated and distinct subcultures, with a much more dramatic urban/rural split than denser regions. An acceptable apology in one part of the US is a thinly veiled insult in another.

Mistake 0 is assuming there's an "American abhorrence" or a tendency held by "Americans on the whole". It's difficult for any American, much less anyone outside of America, to have interacted with each of its distinct, and often wildly divergent, subcultures to find a genuine common thread.
IPsec isn't UDP though. It use UDP for the key exchange, but the actual IPsec traffic uses ESP or AH, which are IP protocols at the same level as TCP, UDP, or ICMP.

(ignoring IPSec NAT-T)

He has another post about VS Code where he expresses amazement about its basic refactoring ability. So yeah, fully agree.
My wife and I follow that and have tried to teach it to our kids. An apology with a ‘but’ isn’t an apology.

Two more worth thinking about:
Explain vs. excuse. While your feelings and justifications may explain your bad behavior they do not excuse it.

Not your fault, but still your problem. The (wrong) idea that an unexpected circumstance can excuse bad behavior, because it’s not your fault.
A Friendly Introduction to Graph Neural Networks
Stalled as in, sender has data to send, receiver is ready to receive, but the transfer makes no progress or proceeds very slowly.

I can't quote a number for the drop percentage, honestly I've forgot. Discovering the limit was a side effect, we were simply looking to test how a piece of software would behave over a bad connection. I just remember being surprised that everything just stopped when I put in packet loss that wasn't anywhere near 100%.

My since-then-adjusted expectations would put any double digit percentage (yes, starting from 10%) of random packet loss as unusable conditions for TCP.
I just gotta say that I don’t think it’s clear where they are going. You are of course free to do however you like. And if you are leaving because of what they already have done, that’s reasonable, but if you are leaving because of what you are guessing that they might do tomorrow, is that really wise? I mean even with the ARM switch won’t it be as easy to switch to win/linux intel after a year if you are not satisfied?

I don’t like the boot thing either, and it’s a bit scary not being on intel as everyone else is right now, but I also think ARM feels really interesting and it might turn out to be a great new platform!

Edit: i mean it is not like they never listen, they did take bake the mac pro, they did fix the keyboards, you have cli tools to make a lot of changes in how macos works, etc. Of course I would like hundreds of things to be different, but I believe that is true of all platforms.
I'm not really talking about multiple dispatch, but more like a module that store two or more types, like:

module Data = struct
type pair = int * float
type numbers = int list

let make_pair () = (0, 0.0)
let make_numbers () = []
end

This example is not very illustrative, but just explain the idea what I mean. We have two constructors: make_pair and make_numbers. So in a way, we can have multiple types in the module, if they are meant to be tightly related. We are not forced to make three classes here (Pair, Numbers, Data), everything is in one module.

EDIT: OOP classes have a primary type in your class, and sometimes this creates artificial chicken or egg type of problem, where you cannot decide what is more fundamental (message vs receiver vs sender). Modules don't force this on you.
They said "records", not "recordings". I took this to mean references in historical records.

Is there any good reason to think this? The 2009 swine flu epidemic is estimated to have infected around 20% of the world population, and that was a big one (it was also probably less deadly than COVID-19, and was met with much less resistance from lockdowns).
My comment wasn't meant to agree or disagree with these statements, just to comment on how I find it interesting that people are making assumptions or defining screen time to suit their own opinions.

As for whether its obvious: maybe, but there are many cases where something seems obvious (certainly to laypeople in the subject) but that are actually flat out wrong.

So, as someone who hasn't studied these things, I say, yes, it seems obvious, but just because I think its obvious, doesn't necessarily mean its true.
I find the point that SpaceX has no plans beyond the next step hard to believe. I could imagine they perhaps have no firmly officially approved plans like a full waterfall project, but surely there must be already a lot of trade studies on the next steps, and at least some rough plans.

Or maybe the even have approved plans, but with the understanding that they could change quickly as new data comes in.

Otherwise a project like StarShip is likely not feasible. For example for a Mars project you must at least have some idea that long term live support is feasible with the chosen size. They likely have that idea based on data from ISS, but I bet there were some preliminary studies on this at least.
