So your argument is that private citizens' desire for privacy is subordinate to your desire to be able to blackmail "public officials"?
I think so too. FP does not work over a distributed system, because it requires to view "the world" in one chunk. But that does not scale.

Using actors is a great way to chunk the worlds into smaller parts, each of which can then be handled in fully FP manner.

That's part of it, but training people is also very difficult. If you know a system well it takes a day to add some feature, but it takes a few days of frustration to train someone else.
My point was that the above mentioned brands only offer their product in a properly licensed and insured hotel. They couldn't have came onto the scene and enabled small time owners to flaunt local laws like Airbnb did without great reputational risk.

> In what non-English language is "Cyasyu" easier to read than "Chashu"?

I was going by my experience of Irish and German, where "ch" has a specific pronunciation that is quite different from that Japanese sound. Having found https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pronunciation_of_CH_... I guess I was generalising too much myself :).
Laravel Nova handles this particularly well, with separate "can see" and "can run" concerns. Nova is essential an admin panel for CRUD operations over your Laravel resources. Basically we use them this way:

"can see" = false: not a valid action (resource should not be created manually for example)

"can see" = true && "can run" = false: valid action in the system, user is not permitted to perform

"can see" = true && "can run" = true: valid action, user has access to perform
Aftermarket racked Mac Minis aren't a new idea in server spaces. Have you considered creating a cluster of them to fit into a rack? As far as price/performance goes the Mac Mini is about as good as you can get from Apple.

Maybe that is true right now, but in the future I doubt it. The last place I rented was on both AirBnB and VRBO, VRBO having a slightly lower price.
Yes it does. I go to the page (ad), copy the URL, and youtube-dl.

More critically, Youtube relies on network effects and people using it. Part of the reason we share family videos, educational content, and other things is so it's, well, shared. For me, the reasons to use Youtube-dl are:

1) People in bandwidth-constrained settings. If I post my videos, and colleagues in some countries can't watch them, I'm going elsewhere.

2) Remixing. If I can't make collages of family videos, I'm going elsewhere.

Youtube can serve masters like me, where it's an effective platform for sharing videos I want people to watch, and where the goal is dissemination. It can serve masters like the RIAA and the MPAA, where the goal is monetization and control. It will have a hard time serving both.

I suspect if it tries, people like me will go to someone who caters to us. A YouYesYouNoNotTheRIAAYesYOUTube. If we do, I think there will be enough of a network to start to syphon people off, and eventually, cat videos and Aunt Alice will be on YYYNNTRYYT.com, while corporate video will be on DRMed Youtube.

At that point, we'll have a replay.
Because vitamin might make a difference but it's won't be enough to just willy nilly let people catch covid at will without any precautions.

Not that I don't agree with you in general, but that seems like a great way to tank sales and burn good-will. HP can get away with it because people don't do research and might actually believe that it's to protect the printer (or whatever). People that are buying thousand dollar cameras might be less amused.
We know the answer to that.
The result you quote (7500 MT) is MBP. Light fan, audible but not too bad. Power consumed probably around 15W, but we'll have to wait for serious measurement.

For MBA (no fan. passive cooling) same ST number, MT number is 6300. So fall off, but not that bad, large cores at maybe 80% of peak. Device gets slightly warm, not hot, under this use case. Device power maybe 8..9 W I would guess?
You can't go round dismissing the central core of the opposing side's strongest arguments like that.

This is a common theory in the US as well, where the accusation of "they are doing it for money" is most repeated. It's ridiculous and untrue, but that's the logic here.

What could even a theoretical justification for hospitals inflating numbers in a fully government-run system ?

Nobody is saying that the percentage change should never be spoken of again. Nobody is saying that context is irrelevant. Nobody is saying that the topic doesn't deserve a full article, which it got.
I think OP's point is that there is a strong bias/narrative in favor of confirming climate change. Which means dissenting opinions or alternative explanations other than climate change for various phenomenon are more quickly dismissed and shut down.

For example, say a massive forest fire happens. We see people try very hard to attribute the root cause to climate change, even if the true cause is decades of fire suppression. Repeat for literally anything that could plausibly be explained by climate change.

Similarly, there is a very strong narrative/bias surrounding covid. Any data or study going against the narrative has to fight 10x as hard for survival vs. a study confirming the narrative.

This is not unique to science polarized across political parties. A similar thing happened (is still happening?) with Alzheimer's research. Basically research dissenting from the prevailing theory were systematically denied funding and shut down by the most influential figures in the field.[0]

After Nat's cynically duplicitous comments and actions, it's hard to view this as anything other than PR. A $1 million expense is not a big advertising expense for github. It was a $7.5 billion sale. Microsoft spend 0.013% of that on this PR piece.

I can't imagine the fallout from this didn't wipe several times that off of github's valuation.

If github had done this before the EFF letter, it would have been something else. With the EFF letter, they have zero liability to reinstating the repo, and are borderline legally required to do so.
Historic ARM Presentation to Apple Computer – 1992
I agree with nimblegorilla: an employee that fires himself does not make sense. HR fires them, or some other entity, whichever has the power and permission, does so.

In the end, no matter what example you will pick it will always have the same kind of problem, that a higher entity is needed. And in the cases where that is not true, no encapsulation is needed. For example, "employee.age()". You can just do "olderEmployee = copy(employee, age = employee.age + 1)" (pseudocode) from the outside by having the age exposed (which is not classical OOP at all).

But I'm curious if you can find a counter example. Usually it stops working when global constraints come in.
> You can't force people to care about things they just do not care about.

Exactly, so don't complain about downvotes again next time you want to resist "toeing the covid line." To make an analogy, there are probably people (maybe even whole communities) who want to resist "toeing the drunk driving line," but the ship has sailed on that and few people care to hear their arguments that they should be able to drive when the blow a 0.12 or whatever.
Fun fact: The Caltech campus is a popular location for Hollywood productions. For example, an episode of the Amazing Spider-Man was filmed there. The photo on wikipedia:

I don’t know how it is handled now, but when I was there things that needed higher security like that were in rooms that had locks not on the master system.

You had most older buildings on one brand of ordinary locks with a master system, and the newer buildings with better ordinary locks on a different master system, and then a few rooms with Medico high security locks.
It could have also been a business decision right - let's not layoff all that support staff or spin down all that infrastructure because eventually the business will come back. So costs are mostly the same.
Less luminous flux arrives to the surface of the smaller sensor. However the illuminance is the same due to the photons being spread over less area.

Measuring lux at each sensor would provide similar readings.
Uh... what? The comment I replied to argued that a random employee might understand why a particular bolt was chosen. The walkway collapse is literally about bolts/nuts being changed around. That design change by a third party resulted in a disaster that killed over 100 people... Seems like appropriate evidence that a line worker would not actually understand design details. That's not to say they couldn't make a suggestion and feedback their experience. Of course they should do that.

But to your point, as I wrote trial data from company that produces said vaccine (given that it's for sure high pressure case and stakes are pretty high) that hasn't been verified by external entities is not convincing to me. And shouldn't be to anyone, isn't peer review and repeatability a part of scientific method?
One example of an adversarial university environment is how fraternities and sororities keep copies of exams and assignments from prior years. Professors know cheating is rampant, so have to change the questions every semester.

Some courses at Caltech had almost identical exams for at least a decade when I went through. The professors knew cheating like the above simply would not be tolerated by undergrads.

I sat on and helped run the Board of Control, which handled academic honor code violations, for several years and professors who had been at other universities would absolutely rave about how much more they could trust Caltech students. And that was while reporting a suspected cheating case to me.

There are hundreds of thousands of living Americans older than the SSA! Think about all the people that never had birth certificates because they were born at home or in a poor rural hospital, or the side of a road, etc. My sister's "official" birth certificate is a letter from the US embassy (in a country that no longer exists), telling the state department of the birth of a US citizen abroad, to an active duty serviceman.

Real data is messy, and theirs is especially so.
Consortium for Resilient Internet-Facing Business IT
No. Private citizens are entitled to privacy and their rights to such should be guarded by both law and responsible security practices at the companies they entrust with their information. Private citizens shouldn’t be shielded from privacy violation by hiding behind the plausible deniability of no DKIM verification. The communications of public officials should be subject to traceability and authentication as having actually come from them, even if they have gone rogue and used non-government-approved communication channels. If corruption is suspected because communications are discovered on the receiving end, say at a company that gets audited or something, it should be simple for investigators to verify the authenticity of those emails. Establishing ownership of the sending email address is another issue, but I imagine that’s possible via regular investigative routes.

This has nothing to do with “blackmailing public officials” and for you to imply that I have such a desire is both uncivil of you to say here and says a lot about your world view. Blackmail is when you use evidence of illegal activity in order to coerce someone to do something against their will. Transparency and audit ability of our public servants is not blackmail.
The actual words you used in your reply to my post (akin to "we may see someone affected by global warming in 10,000 years maybe and besides that I don't care") was just pure denialism.

>He won't be asked to subjugate his principles to the company in an inappropriate way, in part because others know that he will go above and beyond within his principles to do well for the company.

I respectfully disagree. Your team may not, your direct reports won't and your management hierarchy may not, however, your business will. If you have certain principles such as support for LBGTQ+, anti-military contracts, or a conservative in tech for example, and your company signs a contract to work with another organization that doesn't care about the cause or are completely against it, what happens? I know CEO's who can't fire bad clients because they don't own their own company.

>Walking away from his business means the collapse of his reputation, failing his employees, and failing his family.

Walking away from bad business can make you so much money it's hard to imagine. I've had conversations about doing business with shady people, which resulted in me making a deal with the person who had the same experience with the other individual.

>On the other hand, a weak business and/or business owner will be very vulnerable to principle-based compromise.

Growing pains, but an employee who is competent or incompetent will face the same dilemma because of what I suggested earlier.

I call it being a slave earlier, to intentionally raise alarm. I don't know of a way to define it but you don't have to go to sleep at night thinking, well, I didn't like that decision and now I need to change my entire life or deal with it. I.e. find a new job, change my commute, change my schedule, acquaint yourself with a new environment, meet new people and so on. An owner, is doing this on a daily basis already.

In general, think of this: You are touching a musical instrument. You are physically touching the strings, and you can undoubtedly imagine many different ways of touching the strings that would have different effects on the sound produced. If you were to sit down and imagine different ways to play violin, you would probably come up with techniques that already have standardized names (in Italian, of course) and perhaps even standardized symbols in notation. The possibilities are AMAZING and definitely not limited to simple pitch/loudness (I mean, obviously!)

If you want to see a reference, go to your local library and find a book like The Study of Orchestration (https://www.amazon.com/Study-Orchestration-Fourth-Samuel-Adl...) and flip to the section on strings. I own this book, but I don’t know where it is at the moment, so… off the top of my head, here are other dimensions besides pitch and loudness:

- Notes can be connected in different ways. Legato, détaché, martelé, staccato, spiccato, sautillé, jeté/ricochet, tremolo, pizzacato, louré, marcato

- Bowing direction: up/down (they sound different)

- Adjust bow position: sul ponticello, sul tasto

- Natural and artificial harmonics

- Use of mutes

- “Extended techniques”—altering the tuning, col legno, etc.

These all affect the sound. Note that the difference between staccato and legato is NOT accounted for solely by the length of the notes as in a MIDI file. You also might be surprised how many of these have really boring, everyday notational conventions. As in, a violinist would look at sheet music and say, “obviously, technique X is used for this note”, but that would not be encoded in the MIDI file at all.

All of the above techniques are explained and demonstrated in YouTube videos if you are interested.
> What they mean is ‘Sweden didn’t have a legally mandated set of restrictions’.

True for some people, not for others. I have talked to many people who have repeated "Sweden didn't have a lockdown" and think that means Swedes didn't change their behaviour significantly. They are surprised, even disbelieving, when I point out the quite significant restrictions most Swedes have complied with. These people were misled by news reports using the term "lockdown" the way you do.

Whether or not defining the term "lockdown" differently is the solution, there needs to be some improvement in the way we write about this.
The yogi arrests decay in the body by securing an additional supply of prana (life force) through quieting the action of the lungs and heart; he also arrests mutations of growth in the body by control of apana (eliminating current). Thus neutralizing decay and growth, the yogi learns life-force control.

That meditation-expert (muni) becomes eternally free who, seeking the Supreme Goal, is able to withdraw from external phenomena by fixing his gaze within the mid-spot of the eyebrows and by neutralizing the even currents of prana and apana [that flow] within the nostrils and lungs; and to control his sensory mind and intellect; and to banish desire, fear, and anger.

The body of the average man is like a fifty-watt lamp, which cannot accommodate the billion watts of power roused by an excessive practice of Kriya. Through gradual and regular increase of the simple and foolproof methods of Kriya, man's body becomes astrally transformed day by day, and is finally fitted to express the infinite potentials of cosmic energy, which constitutes the first materially active expression of Spirit.

Inspiration and expiration go on largely involuntarily throughout one's life. So long as the life current (prana) pulls the inhaling breath into the lungs, man lives; whenever the downwardly flowing current (apana) in the exhalation becomes more powerful, man dies. The apana current then pulls the astral body out of the physical body. When the final breath leaves the body through the action of the outgoing current, apana, the astral body follows it to an astral world.

The mystery of the breath holds the solution to the secret of human existence. There is even a direct connection between respiration and physical longevity. The dog, for instance, breathes fast and has a short life. The crocodile breathes very slowly and may live to over one hundred years. Stout persons breathe heavily and die prematurely. When through disease, old age, or any other physical cause the dream breath vanishes, the death of the dream body follows. Yogis therefore reasoned that if the body did not decay and toxins did not collect in the cells, breathing would not be required; that scientific mastery of breath by preventing decay in the body would make the flow of breath unnecessary and provide control over life and death. From this intuitive perception of the ancient rishis came the science and art of prana-yama, life-control.

Pranayama is suggested by the Bhagavad Gita as a universally suitable method for man to use to release his soul from the bondage of breath.
This essay is probably what is going to make me finally install the app. Nobody has been able to explain to me what TikTok is beyond people dancing and reacting to memes. I think what the author says about the algorithm guiding you instead of what your friends want is something I've always wanted.

It's shocking how much the tweet "Something extremely bogus is going on. Was tested for covid four times today. Two tests came back negative, two came back positive. Same machine, same test, same nurse. Rapid antigen test from BD." reads like something the way Trump would have said.

Anyway, I think the difference is that many/most(?) of us would inquire about the meaning of the results before making a judgement then telling millions who follow things we say.
Clearly, I must not have articulated myself well enough, since you took away the exact opposite of my point: I have heard the suggestion of inflated death numbers within the US in casual conversation multiple times and I frequently refer to this specific article as a counterargument.

Fwiw - I have been a subscriber to the FT for ages and I've followed that chart (which is free to all) since the beginning.
Maybe I've just dealt with good cultures but I find this a bit cynical. Normally when there have been too few people who knew a section of code, it was because:

- The area of code has a high ramp up, high risk, and few new work incentivizing ramping up on it.

- The curse of knowledge makes it hard for the person familiar with the code to know what is needed for others to understand it. Incentives are needed to encourage learning by others to force the maintainer to better understand how to explain things. This isn't a judgement on the person in their general inability to write code for humans nor is it about obfuscation.
