> When posters from rural areas complain about "coastal elites" (often a dogwhistle for PoC)

Coastal elites are wealthy, educated, mostly white liberal/progressive members of the professional managerial class who think they know how everyone else should live.

> So many - SO many - of America's small towns cannot sustain themselves through honest business and labor.

Thats because tax-and-spend policies crowd the rural populace out of markets.

> who advise hard-up city-dwellers to simply "move to where the jobs are" (nevermind that they denigrate immigrants)

You forgot "illegal" in front of "immigrants"

> But god forbid you suggest that these small towns aren't solvent, can never be so

The crowded urban spaces you prefer are largely dependent on rural areas for their food.

> That the future for America is a progressive urbanism with higher population density (and the advances in public infrastructure policy that will have to come with it). That's socialism.

Its weird that you conflate forcing people to live in 3m^3 tubes like the Japanese and high tax rates on capital. They don't have to go together, do they?

> But dragging travelers out of their cars for a protection bribe (if you're lucky enough not to get Sandra Bland-ed) is a-ok. /s

These same rural people don't approve of the extortion but when you have a system where the government decides what people pay they don't have any recourse.
I agree - you can't trust the main stream media anymore. Always verify their reports by yourself. They are careful about directly lying - but twisting and omitting information is something they are genius at.
Hey Andrew, Matt from the Capiche team here—thank you so much for your feedback!

Great point on phone calls making it difficult to use mics and more. On the one hand from a broadcasting perspective, I've found that freeing as there's less to worry about. You just pick up the phone call and start talking and don't think about everything else. But we do want to improve audio quality, so expect more options here going forward including web broadcasting!

Then, on recordings: When you wrap up a broadcast (which happens in Capiche when you hang up the phone after live streaming), you can download an mp3 of your call, or can go back and download it again anytime later. So you never have to think about recording, and can still always have a full copy of everything you broadcast.

Email anytime if you have any more ideas here!
Thankfully, the libertarian party of Florida successfully lobbied Tallahassee, and civil asset forfeiture is no longer legal in Florida.
Jordan Peterson and his daughter don’t need to be experts in order to offer their anecdotes. Instead of relying on experts, who universally reject everything I’ve said, crack open a biochemistry textbook. But be careful, the most popular biochemistry textbook in the United States, the latest edition from 2017, states plainly that a ketogenic diet always leads to diabetic ketoacidodis. This is false, thousands of people have been in ketosis for months to years at a time without developing diabetic ketoacidosis.

If the textbooks that the doctors read don’t get all the details right then how are you supposed to trust doctors to get the details right?

And why should you trust them when they have nothing at stake? Meanwhile your life is at stake. Guess who is going to sweat all the details and consider every possibility, doctor or patient? Here’s a clue, when is the last time a doctor cracked open a textbook for your sake?

I had schizophrenia and the doctors told me I was peckish. They didn’t listen to me. And they certainly didn’t listen to me when I told them ketosis was curing my symptoms. Just wait until it’s your turn to have a medical problem that the doctors don’t believe is real. Then you’ll look back on this comment very differently.

I forgot to mention, the links are for YouTube because more people prefer that. You can find the relevant papers in their descriptions or by googling the relevant names.
It’s already difficult to do business with entities in California if you live in another state. I no longer take contracts with CA based companies after a run in with the FTB. Not worth it.
I did basically everything you mention, back in the day, although on a C64.

In many ways, things were much easier back then: Direct access to most of the hardware, flat memory layout, smaller and vastly simpler ISAs, smaller programs (meaning shorter disassemblies to wade through), no protected mode so you could overwrite anything in RAM and so on. And you wouldn't even have to do it live in-memory, just disassemble the program piecewise from disk. People did extraordinary things back then, and you vastly underestimate their capabilities. Sure, you had to write a lot of tooling yourself, but it was simpler times.

I am not trying to detract from the copy protection mechanism, which truly is ingenious. I was just genuinely curious whether I was misunderstanding anything from the article.
We've got like 12 years of historical records tracking the evolution of internal tooling and infrastructure that Cozy Bear uses. Yeah attribution is hard, yeah someone could have been trying to frame them, but in general these groups tend to use a lot of in-house tools and consistent infrastructure and techniques.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cozy_Bear

Did you read the Fancy Bear incitements for the DNC hack?

https://www.justice.gov/file/1080281/download

The evidence was absolutely overwhelming. It isn't like someone saw an IP in Russia and assumed it must be Russians. The intelligence agencies had been tracking them for years. They knew exactly who was doing exactly what within the Fancy Bear organization. They know when people joined up and how they were introduced to their GRU handlers. The idea that these attributions are just thrown around whimsically is pure ignorance.
I suppose as long as we're making improvements, the absolute number is less important than the one relative to the baseline on a given device.

> In contrast to eastern education which tends to greatly focus on memorization through repetition..

Wouldn't quite say that is true. People use a variety of techniques to get scored higher and there's always a certain percentage who will use such rote learning techniques, be it eastern or western.

I think what what's missing in the discussion is the western focus on individualism as compared to east asian communitarianism. Both have their pros and cons and mutual dislikes.

There was a book by 2 high level western/eastern women managers in Hewlett Packard that highlights this dichotomy. It's a great read.
> Commissioner Noah Phillips, who voted against the study, issued a separate dissent.

Ketogenic diet as something beneficial for certain disorders -- including brain disorders, like epilepsy -- is extremely well established science and readily googled up:

https://www.epilepsy.com/learn/treating-seizures-and-epileps...

And here is a scientific paper specifically about schizophrenia and ketogenic diet:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30037619/

I've also heard that some people experience "miracle cures" eating an all beef diet. Or a vegetarian diet. Or a vegan diet. Or a ketogenic diet. Or from fasting.

The gut biome is barely understood and 70 to 80 percent of the immune cells in the body can be found in the gut. So it shouldn't exactly shock people that messing with diet can have dramatic health effects.

The problem is we aren't at a point of being able to reliably say which weirdo diet to apply to which conditions in some kind of completely reliable fashion and our understanding of why and how those things help is in its infancy.

(I am not a doctor. I don't play one TV. Verifying that what the GP is saying is not straight up crazy talk is not hard at all, though the comment is a hair overenthusiastic as if this is absolutely some kind of solved problem when it probably isn't.)
This! Right to the point.

I think Texas got this right. Higher property taxes are assessed every year on the current property value.
This has the positive effect to keep the real estate market within reason.
Home owners have no incentive to see their taxes explode, unless they plan to sell and move.

CA is a mess! And don't get me started on the fact that property taxes pay for public schools, so if I buy a property today say at $1M whereas my neighbor bought 10y ago and payed $100k guess who is paying the most to finance schools ? It is utterly unfair!

Hence, after almost a decade in SF, I and my finally finally moved on, I kept my job and bought a nice, modern, luxury house in Austin! I and my family are super happy now.

I voted democrats my entire life, I have now realized how wrong I was! SF and CA turned me into a republican! And that's what I vote now.

I did 3 sessions of MDMA therapy with a therapist in the underground community in Santa Cruz in the 90's, which later became the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) https://maps.org/ who now work with veterans with PTSD. I had experience with psychedelics, but none with MDMA. All I can say is ymmv. I was underwhelmed by the experience. Later I would go on to do CBT, DBT and Wisemind, and CPT [1] for PTSD and those actually worked really well. I think MDMA combined with those therapies might have been even better. CPT was particularly helpful to confront the abuse I suffered.

Does your IDE run inside a 500MB linux container ? After cloud adoption, I would have difficulty finding software developers whose work does not entail running across multiple machines and environments. (Ok, the community of scientific researchers is probably exempt from this but they are a minority).
This is both true and false at the same time.

(1) It is absolutely not true that the system clock will track the audio clock "quite well". Real world numbers would typically involve drift measurable in seconds within a low integer number of hours.

(2) It absolutely is true that on most sensible audio interface designs, you don't need interrupts except early after device open. At that point, you use them to set up a DLL (Delay Locked Loop) that will enable you to use the system clock to know where the audio hardware is reading/writing to in the buffer used to move data to/from the hardware. Once the DLL is correctly configured, you can just be woken by the system timer, determine the current audio hardware state and read/write data appropriately.

It's also a good way to improve the user experience. Devs frustrating with answering questions that can be solved by technical solutions will develop those technical solutions so they no longer have to deal with those questions.
This is because dopamine measures prediction error, not uncertainty. Honestly did not want to read the lengthy grandparent comment that was probably wrong but here I can say confidently that these days it's pretty well known that the phenomena you mentioned is due to prediction error.

Weird thing though is that it seems to only be measuring positive prediction error, complicating our understanding of how our brains carry out temporal difference learning.
While I agree with the smell of pipe smoke, trying to smoke a pipe was easily the worst smoking experience i've had. It was just terrible. It just tastes bad, and is a PITA.
Back at ya! I also don’t agree with all the laws either, btw, but overall I found them far less onerous than they were hyped to be by my IDPA (sport shooting club) friends asserted.

And yeah, I think being a transplant really helps; it’s easier to realize just how unique the climate and culture truly are. And that applies to any other state where one is a transplant to: I think a big part of this conversation that’s missing is the whole “grass is greener” effect. CA has more population than anywhere else, so we have the most natives by definition (or at least close enough that my point stands - I know the birth rate is below the national median here, but I’d suspect the population outweighs that effect). It’s only in leaving the Midwest that I appreciated some things I overlooked there, but none of those were in the areas of personal freedom (e.g. my city had an amazing food scene and I didn’t know how much I’d miss the unique spirit of that scene).

I do think people make it into this “competition” almost, which is a really odd reflex to me, considering this country has freedom of movement and you can just hit up any of 100s of sites to find a place with the right balance of laws for your lifestyle, costs, diversity, etc.

It’s the furthest from a zero-sum game, in other words, and that argumentative spirit seems like it could be easily replaced with a cooperative one.

Makes me want to start a national real estate/moving consulting company where it’s all focused on finding the perfect place for your specific interests and price point, but I digress
As a Texan that hears that frequently among my right winger friends / family, I think its mostly (plain old) ignorance and indifference. When I talk about liking California I get -- effectively -- dirty looks. But concomitantly, if I press for details there are none. So I think it is just one of those talking points that's taken on a life of its own, probably exacerbated by the housing prices that also get blamed on Californians. If I wanted to reason about it from a policy standpoint, I might argue the electoral college plays a significant role. Since in presidential elections the right doesn't need Californian votes, they are fee to demonize it at will -- its free points in a sense. No hills I'd die on, just my 2 cents.
This is what happens when you suppress complaint and disagreement internally. The truth will come out. It always does. You can choose to ignore that truth or justify your position which this post certainly does. Take any substance and press down on it and does it stay contained within it's original shape as force multiplies or does it expand outward?

Lambda School made 2 promises to students when I joined. 1. They promised that students would always have access to the most up to date curriculum that was offered. This is no longer true. 2. They promised a network that connected students to alumni in an ever expanding community. They started separating alumni from the student workspace in Slack months ago. That community doesn't exist.

These are the 2 most fundamental promises that Lambda School made to students and it has broken both. Add to this incompetence or indifference the damaging changes that have been made to the curriculum and no one can reasonably accept the same price tag, $30K, for the diminished service, unaccountable support and lower quality curriculum product.

Students aren't the only population at Lambda School who are unhappy with these changes that Allred claims, "some of the changes that a subset of students did not like are unquestionably for their benefit". If this is true why is Lambda School losing or in the process of losing key instructors further degrading the quality of the product.

Lambda School can no longer rely on student referrals for driving growth in enrollment. Lambda School current and future instructor departures will continue the downward spiral. Allred seems to believe he can will the bleeding to stop. A bit of humility and self awareness would be a better path for him to consider over his protestations. Those on the inside at Lambda School recognize his words as nonsense.

I see lots of tools and they all have good and bad points.

- email is good for mindful conversations. It is slow and doesn't need to interrupt. mailing lists feed into this.

- wikis are great for information that is designed. But it takes a lot of energy, and really requires dedicated maintenance. I've never worked anywhere where internal wikis were better than mediocre.

- bug systems have an off-label use - they are great for finding out about problems in company specific software/systems

- ticket systems are great for resolving small problems. But they seem to be closed systems that aren't searchable.

- slack. Now slack is good, not evil. I think where slack shines is up-to-the-minute communication where several people help work through a problem. but in moderation! Be polite, do not nag.

It is also exceptional at "trivial" knowledge that nonetheless holds back bright minds from progress - and is searchable.

What goes into slack is the less-formal-than-email stuff, the less-organized-than-wiki stuff, and less-critical-than-bug-report stuff.

That’s right; listened to it myself. (The first part of their podcast is always a dissection of a poker hand.)
Well, the USA was supposed to be a union of states where they could more or less govern as they see fit based on their own ideology but come together when they need to. But unfortunately the Federal government has gotten involved in far too many things that should have been left up to the states and so there isn't as much diversity or tolerance for other ways of life anymore.
Yes, the Tuskegee study is well known among black Americans, and it's been written about extensively. They've even shown that the study might be responsible for as much as half of the life expectancy gap between white and black American men today, because it directly led to mistrust of the medical establishment and caused black men to avoid going to the doctor.

That said, I recently read that most black people (falsely) believe that the Tuskegee subjects were deliberately infected with syphilis, but I can't find the source right now, and it's kind of splitting hairs anyway.
Why bring HLS (Apple only) instead of DASH as an example?
My second hand knowledge from a talk with a pharmacist: both paracetamol (tylenol) and ibuprofen are much more dangerous, than I previously believed.

Both have very tight margins between normal dose and overdose. If I remember correctly overdosing is 50% over the normal dose. So take couple more pills a day than it says on the label - and you can land in the hospital.

I was super glad for that info, because I treated instructions more as a suggestion. Now I am much more cautious. _Never_ go above what's instructed, use them as instructed (before/after a meal, etc.), do not mix drugs unless explicitly allowed by your doctor and for the love of god do not mix medicine and alcohol. It's too easy to overdose these common drugs.
> All women are beautiful, plus-sized models, etc.

You can say that all you want (and personally I do think everyone deserves to have good self-esteem no matter their body shape), but at the end of the day some people are objectively going to have orders of magnitudes more suitors attracted to them than others are. This is not a value judgment, just an observation.

You can (and I do support) say the same thing for men as well, but that’s not fundamentally going to change anything about the dating market.
The case of the extra 40 ms
It was the interaction between the expected amount of required buffering and the thread scheduling behavior that caused the problem. As typically happens when there's a video programmer around, the audio timing is considered less important, and there's a belief that "we can always get the audio we need for the video". Ergo, not much need for buffering. In this case, the odd/incorrect behavior of the thread scheduler exposed the optimistic assumption that you can rely on waking up every 15ms and handling the audio.
It's more or less the norm with so many games now..

It's almost a pound heavier.
Its not really a hot take, but an express intent. Slaves had their culture and traditions aggressively stamped out in order to further the disconnect and reinforce their place as property. Their original tribes and homelands that they could hold on to as a touchstone were repressed almost totally. This is more or less exactly why there's a 'black' culture instead of Nigerian or Ghanaian or whatever tribes existed before national boundaries were drawn. White Americans can generally point to an Italian or Irish or Swedish heritage or whatever, a luxury that black americans often don't have. At least didn't before modern DNA genealogy.
> Given that they don't spend much time segregating themselves into Chinatowns and Little Italies one should expect some preference for the culture of the Bay Area to explain the selectivity and staying power, when other locations are just as prosperous (New York, Texas, Boston).

Honest question, have you ever lived in the Bay Area? It’s an extremely segregated region. It frequently dictates where people live because there is a huge cultural clash. It isn’t little neighborhoods that segregate - it’s entire cities...

Anyway, I don’t think there is much diversity in thought here. There’s plenty of controversy nonsense. I had to see the ladies with signs out in front of the planned parenthood everyday when I still commuted. QAnon rallies are a thing. So forth and so on. It’s not some leftist paradise.

I’d say the thing it lacks is leftism. It’s got a radical amount of neoliberal capitalism on all sides because so many people here are obsessed with money, prestige, and power. Kinda gets old. Ain’t no one looking for a more traditional means of happiness, lol.
