I think corvids are known to mourn their dead, and hold funerals.

Perhaps it was a eulogy?

There is some politics in every organization, because organizations are created with some mission in mind and people are going to disagree on how to accomplish it and how to balance it with other things.

The question is, can people concentrate on the mission and agree to disagree about many other things? Or are you going to try to limit the organization to people who agree on a lot of different political questions?
OLED ghosting is another thing to consider - using a very dark gray instead of 000 prevents pixels from switching off, and prevents ghosting.
Inequity is a natural state.

Should discrimination be applied to achieve "equity"?

If so, how is that fair to those being discriminated against?
Apple and Garmin manage to successfully enforce MAP. Nintendo, Sega, and Sony before them. Parallel Import Law is the means they use to do so.

Shimano could, were they willing, use Parallel Import laws to prevent European retailers from selling those products in the American market. They've chosen not to. So whether one likes hearing it called a "refusal" or not, I think that's what it is.

So, then you agree that nobody is going to the grocery store, and forcing them to sell cereal for less than 5 dollars?

You agree that nobody is going in to restaurants and telling them that they must sell a hamburger for less than 15$?

That is the kind of thing that I am comparing it to.

Rent control does this, whereas the government is not forcing restaurants to sell a hamburger for less than 15$.
This paper extends a lot of the ideas in "A Unified Approach to Interpreting Model Predictions" (reference 19). The term unified is also used in the OP paper.

That reference paper is unifying in the sense that it could tie together a lot of frameworks such as LIME, QII, and others.

The paper in OP is unifying in the sense of the explanation games/game formulations (while also referencing QII).

The perspective of using contrastive explanations is very intuitive and becoming more common in different aspects of ML. My only wish is that I could try this FAE stuff myself. The authors of SHAP have a pretty immediately accessible python library. Could not find the one for this novel framework. It is not that I doubt the results. My point is a lot of good ideas like the ones presented in the paper often don't take off unless the authors also give easily pip-able libraries.

edit: I found the code[1], but it is not an easily conda-able library.

I also remember about a decade ago when VEVO on YouTube became a thing, music videos of new songs had in the range of tens to hundreds of thousands of views after a month or so. Now, just this week, BTS released a song that had over 100 million views in just a day or two.

> I remember SF city government going out of their way to try to get actual businesses in there. Clearly Twitter made the egregious error of trying to play ball with the city government.

Sure but SF gov and SF culture aren't co-extensive. A lot of us were not happy with what City Hall did to make that deal go through.

Also, it's not a case of wily city officials tricking Twitter is it?

>> Have you asked, "What can do to gain welcome?"

> Yes.

> The answers ranged from "fuck you" to "sell all your stuff, give all your money to charity, give your job to a QTPOC, and leave". None of them included kindness, compassion, or being a decent human being. None of them actually allowed for the possibility of welcome.

Well,

> "fuck you"

Let's discount that one right off, eh?

> "sell all your stuff, give all your money to charity, ...

That is actually good advice, or at least similar to what Jesus said. But a bit extreme if you're not feeling it.

> "...give your job to a QTPOC, and leave"

Hmm, well that's back in the "discount right off" bin, eh?

> None of them included kindness, compassion, or being a decent human being. None of them actually allowed for the possibility of welcome.

Well then, who the hell are these folks? It may be that you're just talking to loud mouths and freaks.

> I don't hang out with them if I can help it. I just meet the ones who lambast millions of dollars to charity as bad (when it's people they dislike) and characterize SF's xenophobic policies as love. Who obsess over SF's supposed weirdness while resenting people who don't conform to their expectations. Who make excuses for treating migrants with hostility, and expect them to understand as they refuse to return the favor.

Yeah, to me it sounds like you've gotten an earful from some of the louder and less hip freaks. Ignore them, they're loud and ineffectual.

I once had a Marxist roommate who tripped a circuit-breaker by trying to move an external electric socket to let a bookshelf be set flush with the wall. She went at a live circuit with a screwdriver! This person was over fifty yet didn't know enough about home electrical wiring not to stick a screwdriver in a live socket, but somehow felt that she knew how a city or country should be governed!?

So yeah, pick your friends wisely, there are a lot of losers here (because this is the town you move to if you can't make it in Cleveland or wherever.)

Remember that Burning Man started here as a fire-on-the-beach birthday celebration, eh?

It's too late: you're already one of us. Welcome.
It’s a nice real world example of big O :)
Your post actually exemplifies why this is so fraught. The first part of your post is hard to criticize—every workplace has to think about how they’re accommodating and trying to foster quality amongst employees with different backgrounds. Companies should be talking about how their promotion practices affect working mothers, etc.

But your example of HN endorsing “Black Lives Matter” is different. Taken literally it’s a straightforward slogan, but it’s also the name of a specific political organization with a broad political agenda: https://thepostmillennial.com/exposed-blm-quietly-scrubs-ant.... It’s not just an articulation of a single problem. It identifies the problem as being a symptom of an entire system, and advocates radical changes to our whole society to solve that problem and others.

What part of the various political ideologies that could be deemed to fall within the umbrella of “BLM” are you asking HN to endorse? And what aspects of the platform do you think others will perceive HN as endorsing?

This is not a criticism of BLM—I go to a church that has a BLM banner and I understand what’s being conveyed and not conveyed in that context. But demanding this sort of expression of ideological alignment from organizations that aren’t ideological and activist to begin with is very problematic.
Yep, work in a bank is really stress free, especially in Europe.

No one does anything, the hierarchical structure is so meaningless hundreds do nothing at all. People get stressed out when they are expected to work a little.

Everyone is chatting on meetings about which button is the best.

Yep, it’s a career suicide and leaves you with no future prospects but it’s pretty stable.

Some play the politics to get higher paychecks, some squeeze the newcomers that actually do the work but things stabilize pretty quickly.
I checked out your website and the app listed on your profile and they definitely looks professional and polished! Would you care to share the resources you used to learn this stuff? Even better if you could write more about your own journey. It's exactly the not-a-designer-by-trade-but-enthusiastic-about-it types whose backgrounds I can relate to the most.
I doubt it. There are a lot of $5k+ donations, and a $21k donation. The dozens of $2k and $5k donations are mostly to Brian Forde's campaign, famous for his Bitcoin connections[1]. Upon looking at the smallest donations, the majority go to Brian Forde, too.

I liked it because it made me really read the article rather than just scan it and move on. That said, I took the quiz and got 5/9 - but I didn't want to sign up so I don't know what I didn't comprehend/retain.

I actually see this as a slowing mechanism rather than an optimization mechanism, too (thinking about when I first joined reddit and read every single submission and now I simply doomscroll, hmm).
a domain registrar has three functions:

1. configure my nameservers and whois info.

2. pay my bills.

3. prevent other people from taking over my domain.

I can see how AWS would give you more confidence in #3.

considering AWS is just reselling Gandi, I would love to hear how AWS (or any registrar) can be more reliable than another :)
Humans often get oral and gastrointestinal cancers from chewing tobacco, without smoking it.

Not to mention the filter is designed to trap tar, nicotine and other carcinogens.

From Wikipedia:
"Children who ingest 6 cigarette butts, or a total of 0.5 mg/kg of nicotine should be admitted to a hospital." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cigarette_filter#Health_risks

Crows weigh ~1kg and cigarette butts ~5mg, i.e. ingesting a single cigarette butt is 10 times what would send a human to hospital.
Drive-by downvoting reminds me of the stoning scene from Monty Python’s Life of Brian.

Buying the cheapest Casio can also be a status signal, similar to the CEO of Goldman Sachs wearing a Swatch. Buying a truly cheap watch is a signal of 'I don't care' (which may be true, or may be affected), whereas getting into expensive watches can get very complicated. There's plenty of stories from investment banking about the signals that watches send, from my understanding people are more likely to poke fun at a Tag Heuer than a Casio.

If Guitar Center hadn't tarnished their service reputation those retail stores would at least have maintained that stream of revenue. Hobbies of all kinds seem to be booming with an influx of beginners who actually need these services.

These(1) look interesting too, but they always seem to be out of stock. They were available in the $150 to $175 range for a while, but its dried up. With 2 NVME and 2 SSD, it might make for a nice lil home file server.

I audit sites frequently, the most common flaw is designers treating text as an afterthought. This article had one point that probably assists in the poor contrast choices that are so common. As I type in black on white in this text box I have trouble understanding why design professionals would call "black" on white unnatural. It is not. Unnatural isn't even an appropriate word to use for images and text displayed on a screen unless you are describing the entire experience. Do yourself ( and us) a favor and throw that whole idea out the window and start at #333 to pure black on white as your minimum contrast unless something particularly important in the overall aesthetic changes that priority.

In at least 100 examples where one of the audit fixes was "change font to #000" was the follow up feedback by a client or user tester saying that the gray was better or that "its unnatural" or "way too legible" nor a single case of analytics showing less dwell or read time ( or conversions) from users.

Complete design myth and it should die
Bankruptcy is a legal status/process for handling a situation where a business is about to run out of money. The purpose of this process is to save the business, so that creditors can receive what the business owes them, and to prevent unnecessary harm due to chaos that might erupt. So in a way it's the opposite of a situation where the business just stops operating immediately.
In a successful chapter 11 bankruptcy, several parties lose some money, but the business survives and can continue operating. That's the goal and purpose of why "chapter 11" exists in the first place.
YouTube is the only platform that I've seen 15 and 30+ minute ads on.
On the other hand, people who buy high-end bikes are very likely able to repair and adjust the bikes by themselves, so they will never set foot on an actual store. It's precisely the daily commuters not interested in bike mechanics who would need and appreciate the most a physical workshop. Not the sporty types! For example here in France there is the Cyclable line of stores [1] that are very explicitly not targeted towards the sport of cycling (you won't find any lycra shorts nor carbon frames), but to cycling as a means of transportation. They seem to be doing quite well. The bikes that they sell are also quite high-end. I tried to go there this summer but the first time I was turned down as I did not have an appointment!

Encourage employees to represent their beliefs individually by giving them more holidays?

Looks like you're trying to shoehorn your belief, i.e. employees to have more vacation time, which is fine, but has nothing to do with "have more time to express themselves politically". That's a stretch.
The opportunity cost of ~$150k a year x2-6 years doesn't work out unless it's an "impressive' name. NC State + Northeastern, for instance, on a resume doesn't engender respect even if they're both fine institutions on their own. NC State + MIT for instance does, but according to the several MIT profs I've talked to my resume straight up does not and will not cut it, so I'm sort of unimpressive for life as it seems.

Well Apple has never really tried to target the Mac as a gaming platform, except maybe back in the G4/G5 days they had some effort, marketing Doom 3 running on the new G4.

Can't remember any other times they have really talked about gaming performance.

Gaming is mostly DirectX anyway or consoles with their custom APIs.

Huh, so he did: https://www.ucsfbenioffchildrens.org/

Okay, I hate him now. (Just kidding. I will admit that I am not upset by this in the same way that Zuckerberg's thing makes me feel. FWIW, I'll examine that personally on my own time.)

You mean he didn't suddenly become cool circa Prop C?

Well met Kalium.
From a superficial look, I would argue xshell is all about bringing shell-ergonomics into your rust-code, while your rust program maintains its traditional form.

rust-script seems to do nothing about your general rust-code, but make it more easily accessible in a (bash) shell-like context by altering the base form of your program to be more script-like.

They seem to complement each other really, and I don’t see why one would choose one over the other, as they apparently solve different problems. One might even use both at the same time?

> The escalators I take to work are filled with the same desperate faces and vacant eyes I feel staring through me on the subway, except instead of standing still, they’re bounding up it, subconsciously aware that below their feet is yet another opportunity to optimize on an existing convenience.

This is a super pessimistic take on what the author is seeing. I the last five years I have worked between two cities in my country, one where the federal government is the major employer, one the financial center. Getting off the train downtown in the financial core, I see engaged, enthusiastic, and hungry people heading to work to make something of themselves. They bound up the escalator because they have energy and drive and want to improve theirs and their family's lives.

In the government town, I see lots of people with unfulfilling, boring, and secure jobs, and the whole vibe of the town is defeat.

For many people, competition and pressure are essential to enjoying life, and we want to optimize what we do to support that. Without the pressure we atrophy. There are lots of places (like a lot of government work) where you dont have to work hard and can enjoy other parts of life. But what I've seen is that usually it doesnt work that way.
It’s called capitalism: the system under "some shmuck who makes a PHP website" can become one of the richest people in the world.

And it's called America: the country where "a shmuck" can be free enough to be allowed to do the above.

Think the alternative: the places where only the right people, approved, connected and considered "worthy", are allowed to become rich. The mind truly boggles.
I had a package of these opened by a government agency in the US!

My partner at the time had and loved one of these and then lost it, so I bought 8 of them for like $7 each from a store in the UK. When it arrived it had all this official government tape on it and a note that it had been opened. I forget what the tape/note said but it was not obvious which agency did the opening. Not so long after that I had something else totally innocuous (literally a postcard sized cardboard envelope with a sticker in it) opened by Customs and Border Patrol and that was well labeled as such.

I guess for IED reasons they were interested but now I'm paranoid I'm on some list.

edit: oh and I should say I got 8 to have a variety of color options, they were a great gift and after shipping it was only like $80. Highly recommend, one of them would match any outfit. Kind of fun to watch them all drift variably over several months too.

I had an ok, low life once. Today I work 80h to catch up with capital gains of those who sell me food or own my place. The essence of capitalism is embodied in private equity today - a company is not there to make shoes or build a car - a company exists to make money.

Everything else is rather accidental, which is my take on the uber-exhaustion of the western world. I work hard to catch up with capital gains, which I know I cannot.

edit: What keeps me sane is that I basically reduced my life as much as I can. I life and work in a small room, have no car, I have clothing for a week, that's it. The flat I life in is about 70 years old and has hardly be modernized. I buy food and cook myself. I do not fly, my phone is old, I do not stream anything, I ad-block (otherwise I could not use the internet) and I support some core sites of the (old) internet with a bit of money.

I do not crave any of the "niceties" of today's world (I use dish washer and washing machine, do not get me wrong), let alone the tech world. No social media, except HN and a few very specific sites. Basically a modern day recluse, as it is the only way I can implement sufficient distance to this world.

The "cheap" Casios run on the fumes of their old fame and retro nostalgia.

They are basically uncompetitive today, unlike they were initially. Here they are literally more expensive than a band with a color display, bluetooth and various sensors.
