> Work is being ravenously deleted all the time

this reminds me of the library in the david brin uplift books, where the myth is that it contains perfect knowledge but in fact there are sinister memory holes

(not saying it's sinister in this case)
> but after it takes place everyone agrees things are much much better with less cars and no one wants to go back.

Except that most people cannot live in Paris because it's too expensive and need to commute every day. And using the RER which is dirty, smells like piss and full of graffitis, overcrowded at peak hours and often on strike is so unreliable that it is hardly an enticing option.
I think this really isn't for cases where workers are happy to work longer days. But for situations where groups like managers are expected to work outside regular working hours constantly.
And this also comes to having clear laws that companies can't retaliate(fire) someone if they don't work outside working hours.

So if you are a developer and want to do 60 hour week writing code. You could do that under flexible hours. It is just that the employer can't force you to do that or expect you to regularly work outside regular hours.

On other hand being "on-call" is something different. It can be compensated and hours worked will be considered overtime with multiplier.
How about a slow-mo video of sneezing with and without a mask?[0] It clearly shows the amount of spray caused by wearing and not wearing a mask. I know there can be micro particles not shown by film, but it does give a much clearer example of how effective masks can be.

This wouldn't explain the low population of the shire. (Unless there is a "The Time Machine" type scenario. :( )
$20 an hour on the east coast? Where? The only place I can imagine that is in a parking garage, not on the street. Even the most congested parts of Manhattan that actually charge for parking don’t cost nearly that much, and that’s when they do actually charge for street storage.
This paper provides an approach for a simplified representation of a problem, so called lattice protein folding, for a very small protein.

In particular, they find a 2D lattice fold of a 6-amino acid sequence (PSVKMA). 2D lattice fold means that every amino acid must occupy discrete Euclidean coordinates (i.e. (0,2) or (2,1)), which allows you to convert the search into optimization problem.

Couple of years later (using more tricks and newer D-Wave machine), we pushed the limit to 10 amino acids on the planar grid, and generalized the approach to 3D grids as well (where we were able to obtain a lattice fold of 8 amino acid sequence) [1]. This is actually still well below what your laptop can search with some effort.

On the other hand, AlphaFold2 predicts coordinates of the C-alpha atoms in the continuous space, so the predicted structure would actually be an potential direct substitute for experimental structure (similar to, i.e. a structure obtained using homology modelling).

The back channel theory sounds like a good point to me. Anonymous peer review is largely a charade, I'd be more surprised if Google didn't have fingers on the scales and flies on the wall at top ML venues than if they did. It's very possible that the leak/breach of anonymity is what kicked off her demands to get the names of people who filed complaints that led to the paper's retraction.
The idea is to let people quickly and easily write helpful feedback to anyone, be the CEO of the company, a professor, a manager, or a friend.
I think the closest you can get is 3:2 on the Microsoft Surface line for modern laptops, which is even more vertical real estate.
> Needless to say, this dramatically reduces the number of fonts designers can choose from.

Why is a web designer trying to choose fonts? The web is not a print medium.
There are lots of narrow one way streets with no or one side parking lanes.

The large streets have been rebuilt many times already, before and after the war.

The Haussmann reform is famous for enlarging the streets to make way for protests, err, no, army maneuvers. Large, straight streets.
It's imparsable in a similar way to TeX and Perl: There is a program that can process it, good luck creating another.
Yeah, public transit around Paris is a delight, there's no reason for a car there.
What free parking. You mean the one where you have to circle a block for an hour until someone leaves.

It's so bad, now when I drive through Manhattan and see an open free parking spot I get a twitch urge to park there immediately. Even though my destination is in Queens...
The 4500U and 4700U are a different market segment than the 4700H and 4800H. If you buy a gaming laptop, you can get 32 or 64 GB of RAM, dual SSDs, and a GTX, RTX, or RX GPU.
>But in the eighth grade she developed a crush on a boy a year older, and he asked her to take a naked video of herself. She sent it to him, and this changed her life.

I mean that's sad and all, but there are food lines in Texas and all over the country, and the politicians are too inept or unwilling to do anything about it. Also, police seem to be able to murder people or at least have a reckless disregard for life, and the system doesn't prosecute them for it intentionally. There seems to be wide scale corruption on all levels of government and institutions, but nothing to see here. There's also a mass incarceration problem that exists to keep people in jobs and for profit prisons stock up. Oh and mass surveillance that was never resolved. If you get sick enough, you're go bankrupt and probably end up in essentially debtor's prison.

Ignore all the big problems, think of the children.
You can't get a car in Tokyo unless you can prove that you have a place to park it. And IIRC Copenhagen managed to reduce public parking spots by 1-2% every year over a number of years. Combined with great public transport, this seems like a sensible thing to do.
If the kid is too young to understand the issue why not?

Parser Combinators: A Walkthrough
Most of that is difference in the process technology. Snapdragon 865 Plus uses N7P, A15 uses 5nm. It's not Qualcomm vs Apple, It's TSMC vs TSMC. Apple pays premium for first digs.

Rest is microarchitecture design choices and integration. Apple designs only Apple in mind and can afford to choose expensive solutions for performance gains. Qualcomm processors are sold for a larger number of customers and they have to compromise.
Most companies are going to use any change in leave policies to decrease total leave, if they're allowed to do so. This happened when pooled PTO became common as well - moving from, say, 10 days vacation and 10 days sick leave to 15 days PTO.

Unless my math is way off:

30 days x 12 h/day x 5 US$/h= 1,800 US$ month x 12 = 21,600 US$/year

Typical rent 5% of value.

21,600/0.05= 432,000

Size of a parking spot 5x2.5 m = 12.5 sqm, let's make it 15.

I don't know of any eInk displays that could function as TVs, and a TV in "art mode" will end up putting out a lot of backlight, which is basically the opposite of what you'd want when you're trying to hide your TV.

People get angry because there's JUST ENOUGH parking for it to be worth it to chaotically circle and fight over spots.

I'd imagine reducing spaces to the point where the assumption is "there is no parking" instead of "if I fight hard enough I can find a space" would actually reduce the number of people searching and driving in the city center in the first place.

Similar to the observation that expanded highways don't actually reduce congestion, they just attract more cars.
I agree it's not easy many times because of all the different modalities of USB-C. And, as a shopper, it feels like many in the industry is preying upon that ambiguity.

"alternate mode" support and "display port" support are the keywords I know to look for. Or alternatively, beware of ones that say "Data and Power Distribution (PD) only"

Seeing it not mentioned in the Pangolin specs doesn't give me hope for this unit -- no mention in the expansion ports section AND no mention in the video ports section. Red flags for me and my desired way of computing.
This is why I said does not hold for everyone. It is dependent on location of the person, income, family situation, housing, etc.

I've owned a small company in the Netherlands that employed people.

Not just that, she never provided any links to tutorials/papers/etc that she had given on the topic, and when I looked into the one workshop (from memory) that someone else mentioned, it had literally nothing to do with the issue of dataset bias.

That episode gave me the impression she was more interested in drum-beating and axe-grinding than engaging constructively. I'm not surprised she seemed to be doing the same inside Google.

Living Liturgically
From a perspective of many other places of the world, the idea that you can "use up" your sick days if you are actually sick just doesn't make any sense. So the unspoken assumption is "sick days shouldn't cut into your vacation, and obviously sick days are effectively unlimited"
Don't confuse value to society with taxes. Rich people are valuable and they pay no taxes so there is obviously a poor or no correlation.

Also, don't confuse a degree with education. Apprenticeships and technical training are also education.
,,Google Head of AI Jeff Dean, in an internal email, told staff that an internal team determined that Ms. Gebru’s most recent AI research was insufficiently rigorous. ''

When Jeff Dean wrote me feedback for a small thing that I made, I was extremely happy to even get an answer from him. I think Timnit doesn't have any idea of the things Jeff and Sanjay wrote together, their code base was always clean, beautiful and well documented and tested, with lots of benchmark tests. She should have gone with the comments and work much more on the paper.
CC-BY-SA is not "free for commercial" use. CC-BY would be.

It's not automatically a given that women don't do things that get labelled as tantrums at a higher rate. To demonstrate this is sexist, you would have to show that people judge the same behavior as tantrum or not tantrum at a different rate depending on the specified gender.

To turn it around: an interesting self-experiment is to try flipping the pronouns in the story and seeing if your internal reaction to it changes.

Most of those mentioned issues are quite minor - some of them (like talk pages containing copy pasted content) seem actually like non-issues.

Or the category thing - yes, it has circular references which breaks the nice theory behind it, but what practical issues to the readers or editors does this present?

The syntax is messy, yes and it's a problem. But converting it to a markdown/HTML is downright absurd. I think the current approach of improving it step by step is the most reasonable. Wikipedia is a project which can afford to sustain its own custom syntax (because of history, compatibility concerns and wikipedia's special needs).

I think the biggest issue isn't technical in nature - it's the actual task of building the encyclopedia - to decide together on its scope, decide what is notable and what isn't. To fight against brigading from interest groups, fight against attempts to game their rules. All of these are intrinsically difficult tasks and of course wikipedia has made many mistakes. But even then it still fares pretty well in my book.

Yep, I can see that, many who find their way to joplin are quite technologically independent and came to joplin precisely because of those reasons. I guess not many people would really want hosted WebDav when you can just hook up NextCloud/S3/OneDrive/etc.

> Yeah, I ran into this problem with my script as well, where I wanted some notes to be private. For those, I just created a notebook that has "private" in the name and put them all there, the script skips them. Tags might work as well.

Yeah -- tags would definitely be the way, but the problem is that I'd want someone to be able to publish an update from their phone (or at least from every platform possible), and be able to keep their encryption. Just spitballing, but imagine serving a sync/backup service that happens to also be able to spit out md-derived websites very very easily. Notion and it's ilk have features like that and people seem very excited about it. A notebook as a blogging platform also seems interesting/incredibly low friction. Could even be a podcasting platform if you attached audio to notes.

> Google kills products that make customers and engineers happy and doesn't spend enough effort to make them better.

Heck, as far back as 2010 I got a promo at Google because I was the only one on the Google Maps data team (or the org) who wanted to keep the data up to date. (Also the only one who wanted to live in Seattle -- which might as well have been Siberia to them.) So they shipped me up there and gave me a team. It was like somewhere, deep down, they knew it was a good idea, but each person could forcefully argue why it wasn't -- so that it didn't have to be them.

It was great! Well, other than encountering more of the famously toxic culture, where people get promoted for being smart but nasty. But I'm sure that little problem has been solved.

I have merged PTO but generally there’s an expectation that you plan in advance for vacation. So if I’m just having a shitty day even if there’s nothing physically wrong with me I’ll take PTO and say I’m “not feeling great”. Manager has never complained about it, always a “feel better”.

It’s not a lie but then the next day at standup I make sure to say how much better I’m feeling. I strongly suspect all my coworkers do this too.
The parts we do know aren't exactly reassuring, but they're limited to the physical properties of masks (i.e. do they stop aerosols / particles). It's somewhat hard to test how big an effect they have on preventing infections since it's nigh impossible to control the other variables (ethically).

It isn't a reasonable policy at all. If you are sick for weeks you have no vacation time. That's bad for everyone involved.
Yes, and the reason why that was a breakthrough is because you no longer had to clean up your server-side inbox - you could just leave stuff there, and it'd always come up in search. It was this combo - enough storage to never delete anything, and search good enough to find things in the resulting heap - that made it so much better than all alternatives.

And I distinctly remember Google emphasizing the storage / never-delete part of it in their ads and outreach. I very much doubt it would be actionable in any legal sense, but it's certainly a change of paradigm for them to do this.
> Bitcoin has not proven market value beyond a speculative instrument and a vehicle for financial crime. In particular, it has failed in its original goal to be peer-to-peer electronic cash.

Very much has. Wild speculation moved on from bitcoin to altcoins circa 2015, from altcoins to ico in 2017 and from ico to defi in 2019. Bitcoin is old and boring.

Vehicle for financial crime - that’s just ridiculous, not even bothering to respond. Go google what fines banks paid in recent decade for financial crimes before claiming this bs.

And bitcoin is p2p cash for all intents and purposes. Ticks all the boxes for me.

> people in the market to buy cannot easily get more of the thing that they want

Yeah, you can’t get more bitcoin, it’s scarce.

> For people just wanting to speculate, other cryptocurrencies are substitutable.

Well that’s a dumb definition of scarcity, unless you also think gold isn’t scarce because there are tons of substitute metals for purposes of speculation on the market.

The majority of the people who are prohibited from living in Paris due to cost but commute in for work use transit, they’d do not drive. Redistributing road space from cars to bike and transit space is a benefit to them. Additionally an eBike costs an order of magnitude less than a car and is functionally the same range/value as a commute tool.

Why not just publicly collect the companies that are known to not ask applicants to "invert a binary tree"? This would generate an incentive for companies.

The data could be community-driven, but of course that risks sufficiently big players fudging the input data (sort of like the fake reviews on e.g. Amazon). Even so, it may be possible to detect which companies are faking it.
Innovation Is the New Black
You are complaining about public transportation in the Île-de-France region. Think about that for a second. Few regions have such an extensive network of public transport options.
Seems like roughly the right solution. Sick days should exist to protect people who are unfortunate enough to get sick. Bad luck shouldn't cost you your pay, your job, or your holiday days.

Sick days should not be a simple pool of days off that you get to treat as equivalent to holiday days. This approach has the effect of (further) rewarding people who are lucky with their health, and incentivises not taking sick days when you should.
