I won't claim my method is any good, but what I do is keep track of every book I come across in Goodreads if I have the slightest inclination to read it. As you might imagine, this ends up being a lot of books (more than 5000 at the moment I think).

When it comes time to choose a new book to read, I'll select a category (e.g., history, fiction, etc.), sometimes just by picking one, other times by randomly choosing. Then I randomly select 20 books from that category and decide which of the 20 books I am most interested in reading. I also roll a die and 1/3 of the time I will use the same method to pick a book that I've already read to reread. I feel like it gives me a nice diversity in the books I read, but gives me enough choice where I am really interested in the books that I'm reading.

I will follow threads, too. If I liked a book by an author I may continue reading a few more books by the same author. Or if I liked the subject I may read a few more related books on the same subject.
How eBPF Works
I think it's harder to draw the line as to who's doing it incorrectly than it seems, without the benefit of hindsight.

Give an example from the telecoms world - I had a friend who worked for a telecoms startup, bootstrapping for funding and undercutting the local incumbent by using better technology. The incumbent responded by offering free service for a year to all the startup's customers if they switched back. An unsustainable move but hardly a bad decision - it had very deep pockets, and my friend's employer ran out of money first.

If Uber didn't have any competition, it could raise prices to profitability today. Investors still believe in it because they believe that Uber, like the Telecoms incumbent in my anecdote, can bankrupt the competition and then have its way with the consumer. Investors in Uber's competitors presumably have their own reasons for a similar thesis.
The entire point of the SCO was to try and shore up / verify the allegations in the Steele dossier, of which it couldn't make a single connection.

Where are the pee pee tapes? When did Cohen go to Prague to get the emails again? You'd think the SCO could have at least interviewed Julian Assange and asked him where he got the emails.
>Net migration to the US from the richer EU countries is about 0, i.e. about the same number of US citizens are moving into the EU as are moving from those EU countries into the US.

Not true. 10-17% of Canadian, British, Australian, and Swiss scientists move to the US. (https://np.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/37lgxg/the_...) These are percentages of all researchers, whether they emigrate anywhere or not. (By contrast, only 5% of US scientists leave theiir country.)

Among the general population, there are 824,000 Britons living in the US, compared to 159,000 Americans living in Britain. Given that the US's population is about five times that of Britain's, that means that on a per-capita basis a Briton is 25 times more likely to move to the US than an American is to move to Britain.

Of course fewer Europeans migrate to the US than in the 19th and early 20th centuries, or compared to Latin American countries today, but they still come and the net flows are still considerably in the US's favor. There are 1.2 million German-born people living in the US, for example, versus only 150,000 American-born people living in Germany, although the US has four times Germany's population. Sweden and Norway? 15,000 Americans in each, compared to 54,000 Swedes and 36,000 Norwegians in the US. Sweden has 10 million people—the size of Los Angeles County—so there would have to be 1.62 million Americans living there to match those going the other way on a per-capita basis. There are 49,000 Swiss born in the US, compared to 24,000 American born in Switzerland. The US's population is about 37 times larger, so a Swiss is 75 times more likely to move to the US than the other way around. There are 71,000 people born in Austria living in the US compared to 7,700 Americans in Austria, implying that an Austrian is more than 300 times (!) more likely to move to the US.

Same with non-European countries; for example, 945,000 Canadians in the US versus 279,000 Americans in Canada. Since the US's population is nine times that of Canada's, on a per-capita basis a Canadian is 27 times more likely to move to the US than the other way around. Yes, the US has a nicer climate than Canada, but this is consistent with other Anglosphere countries; 75,000 Australians and 26,000 New Zealanders are in the US compared to 54,000 Americans in Australia and 13,000 in New Zealand, respectively, so on a per-capita basis Australians are about 20 times more likely to move to the US and New Zealanders an amazing 140 times. Etc., etc.

I miss the record department at the old Harvard Coop too. I still have a lot of CDs, and still buy them. Partly because I still have a decent stereo, but also because I don't really want to depend on streaming services for everything.

There's a little irony here in that when CDs were new, classical music buyers were first in line, because they were willing and able to pay the premium prices.
What's up with the page faults in the timing details?
Results of the election not changing isn't the point. It is the lack of retraction of the earlier "there was no election fraud" claim. Just because the number of missing votes found during the recount ended up not changing the outcome doesn't mean that the earlier claims of "there was no election fraud and missing votes" were correct, because they, according to the recount, are factually incorrect.
> Signal is incredibly easy to use and many people use it.

For particular kinds of communication, yes.

> It’s easy to limit sensitive things to a medium like that.

It's possible, I suppose, but I would not say it's easy. People want to do many, many different things online. Signal only facilitates a tiny fraction of them. Most people won't be willing to limit their activities online so drastically.

> The vast majority of things people do online are perfectly safe for you to do, even if you are a potential target of a government.

Either you have a particularly limited set of online activities you engage in, or you are drastically underestimating the lengths to which governments will go if they become sufficiently oppressive.
> We're expected to believe some Podunk in the middle of Podubkstan has more access to facts?

Certain facts, yes. A lot of great minds are disconnected from institutions and corporations (Gwern comes to mind-https://www.gwern.net/index). And when some of the things they've taken the time to research or present arguments on go against the preferred narrative of those institutions, now, they can be disappeared with this decision as precedent.

Putting that into an example: say Corporation X releases a new frozen food that triggers a rare autoimmune disease leading to death in certain people. A small-town doctor ("Podunk") has experience with that disease, understands why the food triggers the response it does, and speaks out.

If Corporation X doesn't like that message, with moves like this, now it will be justified (or at least, rationalized) to get rid of that doctor's information. The argument you're presenting here—that they're not credentialed enough—means more people are ultimately in harm's way.
This is getting into the wrong game.

The right game is building end to end systems (ala what Apple does) where semiconductors are an important ingredient in that.

Both of these statements are highly contentious, and I strongly disagree with both of them in this case.

Everything that follows is my opinion, as these are clearly questions without objective answers.

Facebook has become a massive force for division and the propagation of hate rhetoric. A lot of that comes from their own algorithms which basically create a catered stream of content to reinforce user's already held beliefs. This is not a FB specific issue, but they are probably the largest offender. I would argue they have been an absolutely massive negative for society.

I a vacuum you'd want private business left alone, but corporate power in America has reached absurd levels, and we desperately need the government to step in and do something. Long gone is the point at which labor organization could function as a counterweight to corporate power (in no small part because of the government going after it, but it doesn't really matter why). The insane consolidation of the economy has been a huge driving force for wage deflation, stagnation of productivity, and wealth inequality.
Having more money can also increase the set of (good) choices available to you.
Very fast and very nice.

One thing that can be improved is the way the history is populated. Right now, every time a search is performed, a new entry is added to history. I was thinking how to spell Cauliflower as I was typing, now I have to press the back button for each character I typed. It will make more sense to only add a history entry when the input is blurred - onblur()
Sure you can. You can invest individually in the stocks, or in VOO.

But the point was a lot of the companies on the Fortune 500 are considered good buys from a value investor perspective, yet chances are 1/2 of them won't be a good buy in 10 years by the same measure.
No, not really.

I'm just asking why an innocent question along the lines of "couldn't we.." gets immediately shut down as "No, That's not open source".

Reading isn’t a part of my job, unless you count being well-informed or well-read part of any job. I am self employed but not in a 4-hour workweek kind of way (I enjoyed that book way more than I expected and only read it at the urging of a friend whose taste I trust).

I definitely agree about the classics and I’ve considered devoting an entire year to only reading in that category. Maybe 2021 is the year for it!
I think the implication wasn't that DD was pouring fuel on to the fire of "restaurants closing", but rather that when they, a company that works with restaurants (many of which are closing) are doing so well that they can IPO to the tune of $60B and make their founders/investors VERY rich, this can pour fuel onto the fire of "tech companies making money at the expense of others".

I feel that regardless of your feelings on the truth of that last quote, the connection can still (and will) be made by many people.
Multisig encryption? Revoke key access to anyone you don't want to share your info with. Not sure if this is actually practical. Just a hunch on a potential solution.
I think that's the goal. One side is some special equipment and the other side is their simulation.
Seems to be planned. Elon tweeted in response to Tim Dodd that the engines were "working great" on ascent.
Will Youtube also remove all videos claiming that there was Russian Collusion, Obstruction of Justice which were investigated and proved as being false?
> It is obvious in the video as the engine exhaust became bright green at the end, a sign that the engine was restarting by TEB.

The Raptor doesn't use TEB. It uses spark ignition.

The green is most likely 'engine rich' exhaust. Meaning the cooper cladding of the engine bell started to burn away.
This is roughly the equivalent of the yelling "fire" in a crowded theater problem. A lot of these videos are saying things that cannot reasonably be classified as anything other than misinformation. For example, they typically refer to things like mail-in voting as "fraud" to begin with. They also make up vague but scary claims about large numbers of illegal immigrants having voted, etc. All of this has a chilling effect on democracy and people exercising their lawful right to vote by post.

More Senators (from both parties) should be joining the named ones about cracking down on misinformation.
what the parent really meant is "from some dirty basement near you" /s as it is already the case for some of these 'ghost kitchens'. And of course when something bad happens like food poising, ecoli or whatever, these illegal kitchens were never there...
In addition to Cymer, ASML a big R&D and manufacturing footprint in Wilton Connecticut.

Semiconductor manufacturing is really a global effort -- most device makers have fabs full of equipment mostly from US, European and Japanese suppliers. Korean equipment suppliers are also becoming more prevalent. Chinese suppliers are starting to try to gain some market share as well.
This is such a wildly incorrect interpretation of what I said. After re-reading my original comment I'm honestly confused as to how you arrived at the conclusion you did (that I was attempting to justify theft).

I wasn't saying they should be stealing. The only thing I was saying was that there is more than one reason to steal food. If anything, I was arguing against theft (but in the moment, I was just responding to GP).
The lesson is never to answer the question with yes/no. Get them to come up with their own opinion, do their own research, and decide how much to invest in Facebook, if anything at all (it's not really a YES/NO but how much, and for how long...). If they don't want to do all this work... recommend SPY.

I agree that this maybe should be illegal, but on the flip what is forcing the other companies to operate at a loss? I would think the name “Facebook” backing oculus means more than a low price
I didn’t say anything about Biden dude. I’m perfectly capable of thinking they’re both problematic. As I said the fact that actual white supremacists, not from the media via their own boards, believe Trump is there guy tells you all you need to know.
Hmmm, I spot checked a couple of records and I do see the / in measurements: https://imgur.com/IhBMBBD

Could you give an example record that doesn't have the right measurements? I can then verify with the source dataset, to see if it's an indexing bug.
It's absolutely wild and hugely depressing to me that the prevailing tone favors the mega-corporations. The current over-consolidation is a disaster in every industry, and tech is no exception. Nearly every one of these organizations has proven to be a bad faith actor who cannot be effectively regulated. It's time to actually do something about it.
I'm pretty sure a successful landing was one of the goals. It just might have been a "nice to have"-kind of goal.

During prototyping there's only one type of test that isn't a success: a test that fails for a previously known reason (e.g. repeating a known mistake or some external factor like earthquakes, flooding or weather) and that you learned nothing from.
I mean, the country we are in also currently makes it moot, but that doesn't make the guidance any more adequate...
>FYI for point 1 this is not true, in the US, pornographic images are only restricted when they document someone being abused, drawing, animation, and even role play are legal.

The analysis I have seen in the past disagrees with this, but honestly I am not looking to plug the necessary keywords into a search engine to find a source. I believe the specific example was regarding deepfaking completely fake computer generated children's faces onto adult porn.
I would really like to hear from someone, who thinks this is censorship and freedom of speech trumps everything. Why were you not shouting when ISIS accounts were being banned by twitter? Why now?
Wait - was the "Russia collusion narrative" that one totally crazy massive investigation that ended up getting 34 people indicted? One of them Trump just pardoned Flynn for a week or so ago?

Are you just gonna sit here and pretend like they're even remotely the same thing to a bunch of people calling for the dismissal of our democratic institution of counting votes fairly? As if people were talking about "civil war" and kidnapping of government heads in the opposition party?

You're just like somebody arguing that intolerance of intolerance is itself intolerance. That is a path towards intolerance.

Now I'm not saying we shouldn't question Youtube's decision here, but the way you're doing it is straight up wrong.
> That’s because, outside certain fields where research can be verified objectively, it very often is a liberal take on whatever is being researched.

I don't really agree with this, but even if it were true the responses are completely disproportionate. My wife is a historian. Every semester or so she gets a student who outright refuses to do the readings because it is all sjw bullshit and insists on spending class time arguing that slavery was actually super good for africa. And then she needs to deal with this student with kid gloves or they will run to FIRE or whatever. A colleague of hers this semester had a student complain because "the course description didn't say that it would cover women" after a single lecture on subaltern groups.
Ultra-wealthy people are over-represented in California compared to the rest of the USA. 100 of the Forbes top 400 are in CA [1], but the state only has about ~12% of the US population [2], and accounts for ~15% of the US GDP.

I don't think anybody knows how far Blue Origin really is. They are much more secretive and seem to do a lot less testing. New Glenn is somewhat comparable to a Falcon 9 scaled up to the size of Starship and is supposed to happen in 2021, but I don't think there's any good indication how far they are along and whether they will be able to deliver.

My gut says that if they don't test they can't deliver, and that Elon's rapid prototyping will keep SpaceX far in the lead for the foreseeable future. But only time will tell.
First three-Raptor test. First high altitude test. First test of the steering flaps. First test of the belly flop maneuver.

All that, and it came very close to sticking the landing. Much closer than the first Falcon 9 flights did.

It's not inaccurate to call that a win.
> I really can't see any difference in the two side-by-side examples?

Isn’t that the whole point?
Curious to see hear what makes this different to other players in this space (eg Cinegrain, Filmconvert, etc)? Or what your ideal user is?

After all:

- Halation tranforms are pretty easy to create.

- There are plenty of 4k film scans out there.

- Film stock transforms are everywhere.

- Gate weave motion is not hard to mimic.

If it were a combination of all of the above then I can see it being useful for people wanting to grade something pretty quick. But colorists are always going to want to get in there and manipulate these kinds of details.
>Don’t put words in my mouth. I’m not saying this one instance proves the whole election is fraud.

You're not saying it, you're just implying it by speaking in a way that leaves open-ended implications that you aren't qualifying with concrete statements. You're putting an isolated example into a broader category, "things like this", to suggest it's not the only one, and to invite people to believe there are more.

If you really do agree with everyone that the scope, scale and significance of the facts presented in the article are extremely narrow, are isolated, and that there aren't similar examples, and are choosing to ignore that most important fact to emphasize a less important fact than I'm not so much interested in your point as I am in why you would choose to emphasize facts in that way.

And nothing about the articles suggest anything one way or the other about media bias. The articles could presuambly be used to argue somethingorother about the scale of human error in vote counting in Georgia. That would be valid. But they don't have anything to do with any conclusions you are trying to advance about what the media is or isn't "being honest" (again an extremely vague, unprovable claim that you aren't quantifying).
This would seem to be something that can be done via a torrent based method(private) with members agreeing to keep their data online for a period. This will be short as the data changes with time, leading to many small vignettes, at the least it will off load baw to the wide spread torrenters. An easy launch client is needed and a little education - you could easily set it to dump and update to a schedule.
We need a really big ticket trust-bust to begin a new era of de-consolidation. Breaking up Match just isn't exciting enough right now.
Go do your research, I’m not here to do the research that you can’t be bothered to do yourself. And I’m not here to get into a political argument with you about lockdown in LA. You brought both those things up and clearly have an ax to grind. Best of luck sorting it out.
Oh wow I never would have thought of doing it this way. I definitely choose books for their covers at times, but this makes way more logical sense. Although I do feel a good cover is a decent signal because it’s nontrivial to get that right, and if they were able to do that then they probably got other things right in the book too.
Good alternatives to keybase?
> Ruby 3 is also just a few days away which brings optional type checking

Just curious, has anyone here been using type ruby type checking effectively? (since Sorbet is already available and working in ruby 2).

My experience across ruby, python, and js codebases is that Typescript for JS is leaps and bounds above anything in the other two languages, both in its capabilities and overall community adoption, and the lead is only growing. I could be wrong, maybe it will hit some critical point soon and take off, but I don't realistically see type checking catching on in ruby or python.
Then make the comparison. That involves all of the details, not just a single facet, so compare all of the conditions of CA against TX.

Instead of costing citizens, working with federal agencies to remove illegal immigrants would be the better outcome. That would do a much better job of actually eliminating crime instead of enabling it with driving privileges.

But... you still haven't answered what has gotten better in CA over the last 10 years. So let's call it done now.

I'm no lawyer, but the fact that Elon got off on that just seems wrong. Elon's claims were completely made up and also specifically crafted to harm the victim's reputation with respect to the particular context of the accusation - baselessly labeling a man who risked his life to save children as a person that sexually abuses children. What a disgusting act. Elon is extremely famous, if that doesn't count as libel what does?
If that happens it will be time to hard fork Firefox and abandon Mozilla. They're already teetering without a direction so I doubt they would take the risk unless their overlord presses the issue.
