> As a citizen of Tunisia, a former French colony

And before that it was controlled by the Ottomans, Muslims, Byzantine Romans, Vandals, Romans, Phoenicians and Berbers. (I may have left some groups out).

Many of these invaders had themselves been previously colonised from elsewhere.

It often seems to me that it’s only the last one or two groups that are demonised, and the atrocities perpetrated by previous generations of colonists are forgotten by those who would construct a new national myth.
In the long term Apple would indeed want to do that. The company policy for the past few years has been geared towards making a closed ecosystem. They would want to replace all Google services to make an iPhone to Android transition as hard as possible.
Separating companies, while certainly a more blunt instrument, is far more broadly applicable when it comes to anti-trust enforcement than it is to come up with a specific policy proposal on a per-company basis. The latter would require an act of Congress each time a company went too far, and Congress moves too slowly, is too divided, and doesn't have the bandwidth to individually address every anti-trust situation with a new law.

If so, the facts around it should be freely discussable like the Russian collusion case was. Censoring the opposition seems fishy and anti-freedom.
You're in multiple computers all connected to the internet. Honestly these days we should all just be able to give the police our names and have them pull up our information. It's the same thing. You'll still get in trouble if the picture doesn't match. The ID could come through in ciphertext and need to be decoded using a secret known only to the person to whom it belongs.

It should be legal to drive without a physical license. We're all stored inside the computer now.
Really enjoyed the game. One feature which would be nice: extend line segments to the whole plane. Right now, only partitions created by the line segment alone are counted, so even if you begin a line ‘before’ a dot but inside an island which would partition that dot if extended, partition is not counted.

In other words: For all points on an island which are either the beginning or end of a line segment, extend the segment from that point to infinity in the other direction. Maybe show this extension while the line is being drawn.

> she wanted to have a discussion on her difference with the company and would agree to a date of resignation that would give her working colleagues time to adjust or takeover her responsibilities or whatever if they couldn't agree.

Unless one is an absolute moron at corporate politics, they'd realize that's a de facto resignation.
> If you offer to resign, you must be willing to walk away immediately.

Of course. But Google has to call that bluff first. They short circuited the process of actually refusing her demands and asking for that resignation letter. If instead they found the ultimatum so offensive that they deemed her worth firing, they should say that. Pretending that she quit without declining her ultimatum and demanding her resignation reeks of bad office politics and bad crisis management.

Well, sorta. I'm not surprised it's k8s under the hood. But it's not a managed k8s product like GKE -- you don't have to _care_ that it's k8s under the hood. To the consumer, it presents like ECS or Lambda.
I haven’t looked at the actual content of the repo, so this is pure speculation.

One of the possible reasons for stripping it down is for tighter control over real time performance.

To achieve smooth audio playback, you either need to ensure real time task scheduling with a tiny asynchronous buffer or not-so-real-time scheduling with a larger asynchronous buffer. Otherwise the audio will stutter.

The first approach ensures responsiveness: you click stop and it immediately stops; you press volume up and the volume immediately goes up. The second approach is “easier” but results in a bit of lag between your control input and the output.

With HiFiBerryOS, they may go with the first approach. The fewer things you have in a system, the fewer task scheduling surprises you have, and so you can make the buffer smaller and have better responsiveness.

Now, modern hardware, even something as cheap as the Rpi, has plenty enough processing power to ensure smooth playback like 99.9% of the time (I just pulled that number out of thin air), and most non-audiophile people won’t really notice any lag in the usual media players such as VLC in day-to-day listening, but some audiophiles will swear they can notice it.
Are you sure you can’t do this with a linear programme? Surely there is a way to encode the line choices, the partitions they create and the number of dots within those partitions as a linear programme. Might be fun to try.

If you're married or have children AND they come with you to AZ, that's obviously no problem. In that case, it works in your favor: it's just more data that you're a bona fide AZ resident. I was pointing out that if your children stay in CA while you go to NV, it works against you.

And AZ isn't NV. The FTB pays special attention to NV in particular because it has no income tax. Someone who moves to AZ isn't so obviously trying to skirt CA state income tax.

My case was a little special because I sold a lot of stock right after leaving CA, which makes it a little suspicious to the FTB.

What do they have to gain by insisting they were right even if they were? Do you think it would change anyone's minds or just make this whole thing last longer in the press?

Congrats to the DoorDash team! Personally I think this market has peaked, but that comes from my gut rather than some intelligent data driven analysis.
I didn't characterize, I tried to ask. I understand I have a bias so help me overcome it. Can you share numbers or studies or evidence pointing at least in the direction your arguments go? What does drained mean? Of course you get tired after an hours long therapy session or a party or a social gathering while being on a stimulant.

The two links you posted are studies from 30 years ago, on rats and looking at a very constrained amount of variables from a very simplified model of human brain chemistry.

And I'm restraining myself to studies because I don't want to sound like a drug apologist or speak about illegal drugs so openly on an account with my name. But I'm pretty sure that if you actually talk to whoever you know that has experience administering MDMA on communities for recreational or religious or whatever purposes and ask them for their numbers on "drainage" and "depression" you will be surprised. I really doubt that you actually have too much experience, and I'm 100% sure you have less experience than some actual MAPS psychs that administer this and do tell their patients that supplements are as effective as placebo and that depression happens to less than half of the patients. It's controversial that they would do that but honestly it's were the data points. Luckily.

If research evolves and we do discover that MDMA was more dangerous than we thought for mental health then that's a pity. Of we discover a diet of supplements that reduces the I'll effects that would be great, specially because the mechanisms by which it's believed MDMA causes depression are also present on many conditions so you would be striking gold here.

Matter of fact is I'm completely sure both academic and urban shamanistic knowledge point in the opposite direction of what you are saying.
Hilary's accusation is in some way legitimate though considering that the Mueller report found a foreign nation interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion. And then there was the making a mountain out of a molehill of her e-mail server with Comey coming out and publicly reprimanding her for it like a schoolmaster, which undoubtedly affected public perception of how electable she was at a critical time.

Of course it's not clear if Hilary would have won if there was no such interference, but her claim is not nearly as far-fetched as all the baseless crazy batshit stuff being thrown around by republicans nowadays.

Youtube was already pervasively censored and editorialized / moderated. If you are using Youtube, it's important to be aware of its role as the arbiter of what's allowed and how discourse is directed.

But of course most Youtube hogwash content producers and their followers aren't in it for the love of truth or philosophy. Maybe some of the more naive are, and have been fooled to be puppets in Youtube's strings.
I mean, anyone can make up hypothetical scenarios. Without proof they're just that -- an overactive imagination.
Accepting the resignation explicitly declines the ultimatum.

Again, negotiating with a bazooka is a bad move. It's a highly emotions-driven action from someone who's more angry and upset than they are determined to enact change.

The most effective negotiation involves zero explosive ultimatums.

>If instead they found the ultimatum so offensive that they deemed her worth firing, they should say that

Saying anything opens them up to lawsuits and social media smearing (especially from this individual, who was already in a habit of slandering her colleagues on Twitter).
The incontrovertible facts are that deliberate and/or grossly negligent actions caused COVID to spread as far as it has. That’s a step beyond “a mere lack of preparedness”, so it’s not clear what the outcome should be.
$1 billion!

I understand that the valuation of a company is also determined by its earning potential but did Boston Dynamics have that so much that it justified this crazy valuation.

From what I know it barely made any revenue while being in business for more than 25 years. It couldn't find a customer to produce any of its hyped robots at scale. It was clearly a loss-magnet entity for Softbank which is in a selling mode in the wake of Uber/Wework disaster.

In any other country valuation like this would have become the subject of enormous assessment because outside the US, $1 bn still means a lot of money. But I think USA is beyond but I really do not understand the system which facilitates such transaction without the corresponding exchange in value. How is the money being made?

Also there is the reality that this election determined whether Trump would remain in office four more years. There was an optional witness signature block on my ballot and I called a lawyer to make sure I was filling it out right. Can't take any chances. Kids in cages.
Well not really. The argument is that if this is a non partisan effort then this would have caused the same outcome if the political motivations were reversed. The parent comment is suggesting that is not true. I don't know if that has been well argued by the parent but I don't think this is an attempt at mud slinging.

A better argument would be to point out that a non partisan motion should gain some Republican support and it has not.

Additionally you could point out that it would be unlikely to gain support from the right due to the current incarnation of right wing politicians tending to support freedom of speech and would be opposed to this action on a partisan basis.

ATRAC3, Blu-Ray, it’s always the same; DRM makes product unusable, but technically fair, and as long as it’s technically fair and balanced, they don’t care even if a group of industries were sinking together.
Who determines “correct?”
If you want to be pedantic about it, YouTube is a distributor, like a book store or a news stand, not a publisher like a newspaper. Distributors are in the business of distributing third party content. You can’t force a distributor to carry your content, and it would not become a “thorny legal issue” for them to stop carrying your product unless they violate your contract with them.

Speaking of contracts, when someone sign up for YouTube, they agree to their terms of service, which don’t say “we’re an open platform where opinions of any kind can be published”. They say “YouTube is under no obligation to host or serve Content” and “you understand and agree that there will be times when we make […] changes without notice” and “If we reasonably believe that any Content is in breach of this Agreement or may cause harm to YouTube, our users, or third parties, we may remove or take down that Content in our discretion”.

Lack of evidence for what? Democrats were claiming Trump was a “Russian asset.” The rhetoric convinced 2/3 of Democrats that Russia had altered vote tallies: https://d25d2506sfb94s.cloudfront.net/cumulus_uploads/inline.... There was talk of impeaching Trump before he took office. Heck, Hilary Clinton called Tulsi Gabbard, a fellow Democrat, a “Russian asset.”

This partisan dichotomy about all this is extremely hard to credit. For two years we were subjected to Rachel Maddow dropping one “bombshell” after the other about how Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election. What was proven in the Mueller Report was a fraction of that, with scant evidence linking Trump himself to wrongdoing.

What’s worse, a story that’s 90% made up or one that’s 100% made up? The latter, obviously, but I have zero sympathy for partisans trying to make hay out of that distinction.

Right I understand we're introducing new hypothesis, but it still stands.

By controlling the causative factor no new hypothesis can undermine an established causation assuming that there are no side effects when we trigger a causation event. Think about it.

This means that causation is actually established versus the other method which is a flimsier verification. Another way to look at it is that rather then introducing a new "hypothesis" you had to introduce assumptions about causation.

You're thinking in terms of math where you can control your primitives and set a domain and range. In science none of these can be fully controlled and a "new hypothesis" does indeed apply.

Think about it. If I introduce a new hypothesis in the real world that actually lends good evidence in support of say the cancer outcome I cannot just discount it and say it's not good science. You can only restrict your universe like this in the world of math and logic, in the real world you have to except any reasonable evidence that comes your way.

In practice however, most scientists make a bunch of assumptions and will likely test things using your method because it's just 100x easier and more realistic in terms of setting up an experiment that's possible.

Also I mentioned in another comment that your experiment does not actually rule out the genetic factor. Both genetics and smoking and tar could all logically be causative factors for cancer. If the previous statement was true all your correlations established in your post would be exactly the same... there were many assumptions made. So in short your experimental evidence lends support for multiple conclusions that cannot be discounted.
I generally think Pinker had the better argument, but oof this turned out to be highly country-specific:

I appreciate your well reasoned response and I totally agree with almost all of it.

> media literacy may not be enough

I would grant that there is an intelligence distribution in the population and the capacity to acquire critical thinking skills is clamped by something that is largely genetic (and somewhat random), not to mention education or experience. Further, people who are on the lower end of the intelligence spectrum need some way of reasoning about the world even without that capacity. They then must rely on more intelligent people to analyze and synthesize a cohesive perspective that will work for them and their level of interpretation. In other words, I agree that objectively it's not enough for everyone. But still, we certainly ought to educate as many people as possible and certainly the capacity of society to manage a consistent cohesive perspective for those people would increase as well.

> Human brains are reckless

This and your following point about engineers compartmentalizing their thinking ability is hard to refute. However I would say two things on the matter.

1. It's a matter of degrees and having a system which optimizes human development (e.g. parenting, family) to leverage as many developmental windows as possible (on an individual basis) would minimize reckless thinking.

2. At scale, a functioning and diverse media with a healthy amount of honest journalism also minimizes the likelihood that reckless thinking would persist for very long.

> this is a reductive answer

True. It's difficult to know what level of interpretation is appropriate in any context. I agree that there are complex issues and forces in play, however I would argue that after a certain point it is necessary to trim the fat and synthesize a cohesive, if not simplistic, perspective. Western civilization is known for it's ability to do that and maintain much of the original value of a thought. I'm not an oncologist, but there is a vested public interest for oncologists to "spread awareness" and educate people about cancer. We typically don't challenge the oncologist when they make an analogy, don't describe cancer with exactly the correct technical terminology, or unpack every individual aspect of cancer in their explanation.

Your point about ordinary people having an incentive to minimize critical thinking is very true and insightful. None of this occurs in a vacuum, and to some extent there is a degree of personal responsibility to be sure. Personally I am less inclined to lay this problem at the feet of an individual, who in my estimation, was sabotaged for generations by corrupted media and educational institutions. However, I will definitely acknowledge the pendulum of moral responsibility swings in both directions.
