I'm talking to you, that much should have been obvious.

You made an extremely similar argument months ago, about how ICU capacity was actually not high and that the media was blowing this out of proportion. That you're still trying to downplay all of this as 3,000 Americans die every day is pretty surprising even to me.
240.0.0.0/4 is formerly known as class E, it's reserved, but I guess you can stomp on it for private networking?

30 years later any computer system I control is still named after something in that game. Investors in 4 countries pump millions of dollars in orders through a cluster named marathon. The roots grow deep ;)
Yeah, that’s fair. It strikes me as interesting that this isn’t a solved problem yet after millennia of civilization...

Do you have any pointers off the top of your head for resources on the negative effects of tiger parenting, or about parenting in general? No worries if not, I just figure it would save me a lot of effort in my own research
>I also think we need to build back the public's trust in institutions.

And what is that magic dust that turns normal people (you don't trust) into trustworthy beings when they become part of an institution?

The public needs to be very suspicious of "institutions".
The definition of rideshare is that they ride with multiple other satellites. 60 satellites means that each are ridesharing with 59 other ones.

The ridesharing program is what SpaceX offers to outsiders, but the concept of rideshared rocket is whenever a rocket ferries multiple satellites to save cost.

Why? The machine learns via essentially trial-and-error to produce a model that best fits the data provided to it. The hope is that the training data is representative of "unseen" data the model later encounters in order to be useful.

Seems pretty accurate given the broadness of the topic and variety of use cases.
I saw on the news today that the vaccine was sitting waiting for the approval to ship. So yeah, getting approval sooner will get the vaccine shipping sooner.
It's really interesting that people still bring up Cambridge Analytica as a driving force in elections both abroad and domestic. Earlier this year, the UK's ICO concluded after a 3 year long investigation that Cambridge Analytica had no impact on the Brexit vote, and really was no different than your run of the mill marketing agency (just with better PR spin)[1].

But no one has picked up/amplified that story. After the 2016 elections, NYT/WSJ/The Atlantic/etc. ran article after article pinning the outcomes of the US and UK elections on Facebook, despite having no evidence of this outside of testimonies from some former CA employees. Anyone with a background in adtech knew that these allegations were full of shit, but the narrative was too good to pass up.

Now, conclusive investigations have debunked these claims, but it's 4 years too late and the idea that FB/CA caused the problems of the past few years is ingrained in everyone's mind.

I use DDG as my default search engine, but I often have to go to google, because DDG isn't very good. It also doesn't help that searching for a local company will turn up their italian site because DDG doesn't use my location by default. Forget searching for local Danish news at all.
It wouldn't take too much to make a breakdown of IP announcements. Ownership is a bit harder to track down, I think.

Looking at something like https://bgp.he.net/AS32934#_prefixes will tell you what IPs Facebook announces. Rinse and repeat for whoever else. Maybe a bit tricky if you need to track down subsidiary ASes.

Disclosure: I worked for WhatsApp including while it was part of Facebook, and was involved in getting AS11917 setup for WhatsApp.
“You’ll only create further echo chambers, both on your own platform and on the (new) platforms inevitably created by the exiled.”

In case anyone is wondering, this isn’t just hypothetical. The website full30.com was created specifically because YouTube decided that talking about guns wasn’t advertiser-friendly. There weren’t that many gun-related videos that YouTube actually removed, but they started to de-monetize just about any video that focused on guns. So the affected creators didn’t stop making videos, they just made their own content delivery solution.

So it’s not just a hypothetical, it has already happened and the other echo chambers are out there with a warm embrace for the affected content creators. The only thing YouTube is effectively doing is making its bubble more insular, so that Californians can act more surprised the next time the country elects someone like Trump.
Also, farms tend to have three phase HV close by just because that is what is used by the transmission system. And 150v is not suitable for connecting remote properties due to voltage drp from resistance. So there is probably a transformer on a pole close by.

This is the kinds of "both-sides-ism" that gives centrists a bad reputation. You're basically saying: "everyone uses media to achieve their goals, therefore all sides are equally bad." No. Using misinformation to intentionally disrupt a democratic election is demonstrably dangerous to society.

Say what you will about the "establishment," but traditional media still bear some semblance of the truth. Now we're seeing that anyone with enough money and Twitter followers and completely ignore the truth. We have to draw the line somewhere.

It’s not off. Sometime you grammatically need a “the”. Sometimes you don’t.

Within an in-group, the definite article is often dropped just out of efficiency. We did the exact same thing at NASA when I worked there.

When was the last time you heard someone say “The NASA”?
Noted. What has been stable for a long time and remains frustratingly static and unrefined is the field of surgcial instruments. There are a few exceptions but most haven't changed in the 20years I have been a surgeon.
The regulatory costs of developing new instruments and intertia of manufacturers doesnt help. Once a manufacturer gains a market share they try and keep by not innovating which keeps their deveopment costs down and the consumer volume is comparatively low. I don't get the feeling there is any sense of patient altruism.
I have been using the same 4mm dia endoscope 25cm long since 2007 when the first iphone came out. It is very simple, made of glass fibres with a sony 3chip camera that is 10y old. We get some v slow progression on video output and have just got 4k.
Compared to consumer tech the advances are ridiculously slow.
We need a camera (the iphone camera is small enough) on a steerable stick. How hard an engineering task can that be?.
I’d like to reply to badconvincer, but my vouching for his dead comment isn’t reviving it. Anyway, what I want to say is this:

Growing up in the 90s, witnessing 9/11 and the ensuing cultural “snap back,” I think both of you are right. I think what we really had going on before 9/11 was that the country had a very cavalier, devil may care attitude. For some sections of society, that enabled a more carefree lifestyle; for others, we literally didn’t care if they destroyed each other. I think that devil may care attitude disappeared after 9/11 and especially during the ensuing wars.

Where we’re at culturally now would probably require an entire essay to explain. I do think an argument could be made that something similar happened in the late 2000s and early 2010s, where one segment of society let its hair down and was able to exhale, while a totally different class of people were marginalized.

We’re at or near another cultural “snap back” now, I think. What that’ll look like, I have no idea.
A lot of gymnastics in the comments here trying to justify the Youtube decision. Take a step back: If things are free-and-fair, then let transparency prove your point. As Taibbi correctly points out in his article, bending over backwards to STOP transparency and debate is simply fuel to the fire of the people who believe otherwise than you do.
Haven’t worked with React for a little while and only ever used MobX on one project, I was mostly using Redux. What performance improvements does MobX offer?
> Also in terms of stakes, please show me even a modicum of work that suggests the downside risk of approval is greater than the delayed vaccinations. What reason have I to believe there is great risk in approval?

As I understand it, medical ethics isn’t about utilitarianism, or else we’d skip the rats and monkeys and just go straight to testing on the poor for money. They don’t seem to prioritize minimizing the opportunity cost of avoiding bad outcomes. Their guiding principle seems to be avoiding giving harmful treatment.

Meanwhile some healthcare workers at my partner’s facility are skeptical about whether the vaccine was rushed (I think they’re crazy, for the record). But there’s real risk if enough of the public doesn’t trust the vaccine. I’d bet that kind of angle is part of why they focus on “do no harm” instead of “minimize cumulative regret.”
This was before my time at Ambrosia, but I did work the booth at a few shows in different cities (San Fran, LA, Paris being memories). Your story definitely sounds like the sort of thing that would go down.

> > Using a command-line interface is like having to learn the complete Korean language just to order food in the Seoul branch of McDonalds. Using a menu-based interface is like being able to point to the food you want and grunt and nod your head: it conveys the same information with no learning curve.

That analogy makes one significant assumption: that you are trying to order food from McDonalds, which is a thing you are used to doing at place you are already familiar with. Of course it's more difficult to learn Korean when you just want to order some American food, but what happens when you try to order Korean food? What if you are trying to do something more complicated than order food? There are cases where learning Korean would be clearly beneficial.

The limitations of GUIs stand out most in technical tools. When the thing a user is trying to do is already complicated, it doesn't really help to give them a simplified menu system: that just provides a frustrating amount of options.

There has been a significant prejudice in UI/UX design to optimize for approachability, even when expressiveness is a better target.

Ordering food is a great use case for "point and nod" UX. The pointing and nodding only needs to occur a small number of times. There is much more need for approachability than expressiveness. To contrast, editing text is a terrible use case. A point and nod system would involve a fatiguing amount of pointing and nodding. There are reasons that tools like Vim and Emacs are widely popular, even with their steep learning curves.
Disabled isn't a label I decided to start call myself it was more something imposed on me which was used as a sometimes successful pretext to exclude me from school, work, youth groups, etc. My disability is simply considered a matter of medical fact, if I ever found myself in a custody battle I couldn't argue I wasn't disabled. I went though my childhood actively angry and embarassed every time somebody was told about my disability and wished for it to stop. Disabled people don't nessecarily have a choice in being portrayed as a victim that choice is thrust upon them my the medical establishment and if you don't want to be treated as a victim you have to jump through hoops to mask your victim status. It's not like all disabled people in the first world were on Tumblr and went "You know what - I feel kind of bipolar" and that was their identity from then on.

I hate this question BECAUSE it pressures me into admitting I have a disability, that I'm a "victim", when I would rather not do that. Victimhood doesn't get you ahead in the first world either - that's why so many disabled people react negatively to this question - because it makes others see you as either a victim (if you say yes) or a liar (if you say no). Just listen to how you perceive disabled people in the first world - in my situation wouldn't I have every incentive to hide my diagnosis from you to hide that fact from somebody like you so you didn't see me as a whiner taking advantage of sympathy for disabled people to seem cool?

P.S. The first world is seeing self-reported depression and suicide rising simultaneously. Certainly some people think it's cool to be depressed, but maybe more is going on than westerners becoming image obsessed given people are killing themselves more and more.
Porn existed before PornHub did, and will continue to exist after. Cutting them off payment networks will not have any meaningful effects (except in the short term).

On the bright side, people who pay for content are getting onboard the crypto train.
> Allowing false information to fester is wrong

So what happens when "false" information "conspiracy theories" turn out to be true? How should it be handled when people in the position to censor information choose to do so in bad faith? (e.g. they lied about it being fake, or they weren't sure it was fake but they chose to censor bc it aligned with their political beliefs) And what if the censorship impacts were time sensitive? (e.g. they negligently censored sensitive election-related information immediately before an election, and then decided to report it as legitimate news shortly after the election - after the censorship goal was accomplished)

"Oops we made a mistake" is not even close to an acceptable response. I say we treat free speech more like civil rights, harsh penalties and all.

From the article: Hunter Biden was announcing that his “tax affairs” were under investigation....That news was denounced as Russian disinformation by virtually everyone in “reputable” media, who often dismissed the story with an aristocratic snort....That tale was not Russian disinformation, however, and Biden’s announcement this week strongly suggests Twitter and Facebook suppressed a real story of legitimate public interest just before a presidential election.
Agree. Moving IP addresses to IpV6 at any organization required huge planning and is normally not a business or competitive advantage. (In most cases)
Antivaxx and other conspiracy theories on the internet weren't anywhere as big anywhere else either, you're trying to assign causation where there is none. Youtube didn't start banning antivaxx until way way after it was already massive and out of control.
I've used https://surge.sh/ in the past. Which also doesn't have a self host option. So this looks interesting. Thanks.
You're assuming a hypothetical "informed viewer," who is able to consume multiple streams of information and make a rational choice. That's not what we're dealing with. The worst kinds of propaganda make their point with emotion, repetition, and invective. Most people can't tell the difference between that and real information.

Thus, sources that seek to manipulate people will win against those that are fair and honest. The question is, if we as a society are just going to accept a significant proportion of our population being manipulated into accepting counterfactuals from whoever has the most Twitter followers.
Wait, YouTube censored guns?
Do you honestly believe everyone would suddenly know about the Chicago Strangler if they were murdering only white meth addicts? This racial rhetoric is so tired.

Because it’s regression and statistical analysis.

Nothing special about ML except applying it to large(r) datasets, particularly in areas where it works well (various recommendation based models for example).
I’m not a centrist and none of my points are making any centrist arguments.

Using misinformation to intentionally disrupt a democratic election is demonstrably dangerous to society.

And you think this is the first time in the history of American democracy that actors used misinformation to influence an election? Again, this is not a new phenomenon whatsoever. All that’s new is that more people have access to the technology, which makes the previous gatekeepers nervous.
I remember that company towns had to allow private speech, but I never heard that shopping malls had to. I always thought that any protest or disruption or unpopular speech in a mall would get you escorted out by security.
It's similar to any other corporate/institutionalised group - imagine the "<College_name> Anarchists", or "<College_name> Communists", or so on. "Hacker" News, run by one of the most institutionalized Venture Capital companies out there, is simply marketing at this point.

Luckily, the quality of discussion for tech matters, and the players in the industry that participate, still make this place one of the best ones on the internet for technical discussion. But don't expect the political/historical/cultural/non-technical discussions to be any more insightful than any other group of people having opinions on those subjects.

There's no such thing as free speech. Speech is bought through marketing. The wealthier and more get more of it. This is inherently undemocratic, as constituents don't have equal political influence.

Dogmatic arguments suck. Is Android/Apple better?

We don't live in a democratic utopia. Instead, belief in democracy and associated values has provided maximal value creation and competitiveness generated by knowledge economies when compared to other current operating models.

That half the country is willing to dismantle what's responsible for their quality of life would be funny, if it wasn't the joy of dictators everywhere. They can point to the absurdity of mob rule as half of us bite the hand that feeds. Clearly, something is already broken.

We don’t have gold-standard proof that it prevents transmission, because studying that has not been a priory. There’s no reason to think that it doesn’t prevent transmission when you look at the mechanism involved. It would be very surprising.
> then once you get right down to first principles they admit that actually they think it's impossible to know the truth

I've heard somewhere that one can bootstrap from this point by making contingent statements since logical consequence is something that can be known with reasonable certainty. I freely admit that I'm getting out of my depth here. I just mean that if you can find a point of agreement with your interlocutor you may be able to build from there by referring to that with your next statement and so on.

Its also the case that science has done a great job of finding a way (Popperian falsifiability) to get asymptotically close to truth in my opinion.
(Disclaimer: I contribute to ROS in my day job) As someone who has been working on ROS for a living and spent the past 3 years in research labs ROS does seem very scary. The ROS website itself is in need of an overhaul with better tutorials. Part of the reason why a beginner coming in may also get lost is that there are many very advanced tools and libraries for concepts which are foreign to software engineers. Take the TF library for instance which you mention - its goal is to calculate transforms, but unless you are deep into robotics you may find it difficult to understand why it is used in so many places. The fact is ROS provides an extremely comprehensive set of APIs, but why those APIs are useful is not immdiately clear unless you actually build robots.

If you are an absolute beginner here are some tips:

The core of ros is a message bus. Its aim is to provide a messaging layer, not unlike what one would get with mqtt. However, ros's message bus has been designed to be distributed and quite frankly has better performance than mqtt on an edge device. It also has a good set of tools that allows you to visualize errors.

Each ros program is called a node. Think of it like microservices. Why do we do this? Well first of all it provides modularity so we can swap out components. It also provides a certain amount of resiliency to your robot. So suppose one node on your robot dies, the whole thing will not come crashing down.

In addition to the ros messaging bus, there are tools like rosbag, which provides users with a super simple way to log sensor data and share it across runs. There are also tools like rviz which help you visuallize the robot's data. These tools are very useful when you are dealing with 3D data coming from LiDARs or depth cameras, however it probably is not needed when your robot is a simple line follower.

Once your familiar with these you should look at the TF library which deals with transforms. Transforms are central to robotics however it does take time to get a good grasp on them. At this point I recommend you take some MOOC to help fill the gap in knowledge.

MoveIT! is designed for robots with multiple joints like robot arms.

For wheeled robots and obstacle avoidance you probably want to look at move_base and nav2 packages. Movebase is the old package for obstacle avoidance on ground robots. It is a bit of a pain to work with. I strongly recommend you use Nav2 instead which is far superior and better documented and the successor to move_base.

tl; dr: Robotics is hard. There is no royal road to it.
