I think you're right -- new technology is overestimated (overhyped) in the short term, and underestimated in the long term. I think of speech recognition over the years where the promise never met reality and then it quietly started answering most corporate phones.

I have tried VR many times over the years (I vividly recall there was an interesting arcade game back around 1990 that used it). I got a vive. I tried others.

But after using it for a while, I returned to a monitor and keyboard as my preferred way of interacting. There's still something sort of self-limiting/tiring about VR.

Is it just me?
In America, I believe everyone has the right to record anything in public? This includes citizens recording police, police recording citizens, cities recording public spaces, and residents recording their doorways and streets.
Our local library makes it pretty easy. Ours works through an app called Libby that connects with my library card and I then download books to the kindle.

Drive down ad rates for non-google content, which severely hurt other digital publishers, like news sites. This made it basically unsustainable for them to survive on advertising. Thus, hurt local reporting and investigation, which in turn allows corruption and ineffective government, eventually hurting democracy.
I recently achieved an appreciation for language researchers after reading "Confessions of a Used Programming Language Salesman
Getting the Masses Hooked on Haskell" by Erik Meijer. His mention of the continuation monad and how he decided to bring functional ideas to popular languages, made me understand monads a bit and appreciate that he put async/await in C#/Dart
Yes, indeed, but I was referring to Centos. There isn't enough of a benefit for most of us to upgrade if we get security updates free for 10 years and don't need support.
Playing small number of openings is a general advice by IM/GM teachers for beginner players. This makes sense since the focus is on endgames and middlegames in the initial learning curve.

There's nothing stopping you from practicing tactics even if you play d4 openings as white. I have been a mainly d4 player as white so far (London, BDG, QG) and have had quick ratings growth (Start -> 1650 chess.com rapid in 5 months).

Also, an opening is more like 7-10 moves (not 2-3 moves) where all the minor pieces have been developed and the player has castled.

The university of Bath study was barely scientific. The researcher was his own subject, and it has never been replicated. Yet it is now accepted as the Truth.

A vastly better way to study the issue would be to analyze video footage from roadways where there are both cars and bikes.

I suspect the greatest danger to cyclists is when the driver isn't paying attention at all, or is not controlling their vehicle, in which case I doubt there's a special mental circuit that triggers an unconscious behavioral response when it detects a helmet.

Three ways that I can think of quickly:

1. Ads cost more which raises the cost of doing business which raises the cost of goods.

2. It also makes certain borderline businesses infeasible -- there would be a whole class of businesses that don't/can't exist because they become unprofitable if you have to pay the ad monopoly/duopoly piper on top of normal expenses.

3. You could also argue that FB's continued dominance is another societal harm stemming directly from the alleged actions. If there wasn't an ad cartel, it would be easier to start new ad-based social media companies. (Wouldn't it be crazy if Google+ being neglected and then shutdown was a part of the negotiations between Google and FB?)

Lots of presumptions in the above, but I think a strong case could be made for each.

Video streaming alone creates an argument for consumer harm against most major platform vendors, since nearly every FAANG has at some point been locked out from paying customers within another one's hardware ecosystem. Prime Video and YouTube were unavailable on each other's devices for years, Apple TV briefly wasn't carrying Netflix, Apple services are paywalled behind Apple devices, etc. Additionally, the ones that do work still depend on access to integrations for features like voice control, leading to scattershot functionality across any from third parties.

Google in particular has also abandoned support for open specs in favor of deepening the Chromecast ecosystem -- having both removed DIAL support from later versions of the Cast protocol and Miracast support from Android itself.

And that's before you get into the interop for purchases within these ecosystems, because under the DMCA you can't legally do anything about the incompatible DRM schemes, even for media that other devices are more than technically capable of playing.

Another, related issue is that the additional set of proprietary APIs on top of AOSP amounts to an Android ecosystem that's "open," but renders any implementation that they haven't blessed as a second-class citizen. This has tangibly impacted compatibility efforts by other vendors, ranging from Amazon (Fire devices) to Huawei (loss of Play Services via the ban) to Microsoft (Project Astoria) -- for reasons that, in part, involved maintaining a walled garden of complementary hardware.

To be completely fair about this one, it's not strictly that cut and dry, as the ability to leverage vendors with Play licensing has also forced widespread adoption of solutions like Treble. But over time, large sections of the OS have been abandoned in favor of proprietary Google apps, and the API incompatibility hampers the growth of alternative ecosystems, even if you're another FAANG that can bring your own cloud and develop your own hardware.

To that point - while I personally think Oracle's SCOTUS case amounts to brazen trolling, it's, uh, not great optics for that whole argument that API compatibility is fair use when Android apps across several different categories will break just because updating your EOL'd device or getting rid of manufacturer bloatware will trip SafetyNet -- or because your vendor is a competitor and your device just isn't allowlisted by SafetyNet in the first place.
I had a realization similar to this not too long ago during a manic episode. The philosophical beliefs and impressions of the world and our own selves that we hold are a byproduct of our general mood and are essentially post-facto rationalizations.

On a side note, I find it strange that so much attention is given to a person's final days and whether regret will experienced then. They should not count much more than any other series of days. In fact, they are the ideal time to feel regret since your problem will be soon resolved!
.PDF works just fine. Don't blame the shortcomings of crappy software implementations on the format itself.

We need a format that will still be readable 100 years or more from now, and .PDF serves that purpose.
You might have a valid point in here, but the extra thick layer of sarcasm really doesn't help make it.
Cashiers that make $10 an hour are under more surveillance and public exposure than cops are. Police are often the highest paid employees on a government's payroll, often making more than software engineers do, and they get to retire with a full pension after only 20 years of working.

Given that they're the strong arm of the state, and that they're paid handsomely to be it, they can at least handle the same amount of accountability that cashiers do, if not more.
Censorship and propaganda aren't primarily antitrust issues. They're First Amendment, tort, and Section 230 issues.

First Amendment issues are hardly specific to tech companies. We have partisan media conglomerates, news outlets, academic institutions, event companies, foundations, religious organizations, and so on. All of those affect the political process. Few are shocked by that notion.

If you want a political explanation for the wave of antitrust suits, you could just as easily look to the side bringing the suits---repeatedly, a bunch of Republic attorneys general---as to the companies on the receiving end. I happen to be very sympathetic to unrolling the Chicago School ideological grip over competition law. And I wouldn't be surprised to see some interesting settlements come out of these suits. But it's not hard to make a case that violations of these laws are widespread, not just in tech, but that the choice of who to pursue in the current moment largely comes down to partisanship.

> They are controlled by and for foreign powers.

Not sure what you're on about. Last I looked, these are public companies. Their top stockholders are founders and investment firms.
In the case of the police, being subject to workplace surveillance should be part of the job. When someone is given the authority to exercise power over the public, trust in them should never be implicit.
You’ve explained why police officers don’t want accountability. But of course, no one is confused why police officers don’t want accountability.
I think you've refuted something other than what caymanjim said here. I personally agree that "the vast majority" of software engineering does not require deep knowledge of computer science, and I also believe there are plenty of "real world" problems that absolutely do require computer science. In no way does my agreement with the first statement commit me to disagreeing with the second statement.

You say caymanjim's comment "reflects a common meme" that real world work "doesn't involve the academic nonsense you learn in school" Why? It seems like you swapped out his argument with something different, by claiming one "reflects" the other. Sounds like "We got trouble, with a capital T, and that rhymes with P, and that stands for Pool". Stating that most software engineering work doesn't require CS theory doesn't commit anyone to claiming that it never relates to real world work. Furthermore, I think you can claim that theory isn't used in the vast majority of real world work without dismissing that theory as "nonsense" - a word you supplied here that wasn't part of the OPs comment.

Now - I will agree with you that many people say this stuff, and you may very well have diagnosed why. But you refuted something you recall other people saying, not what caymanjim said.

> NOTE: Systemd has a nasty habit of delaying logins for 25 - 100 seconds while it waits for some service you never asked for to time out and fail, before it lets you have a prompt.

If you experience this when logging in to a host via SSH, the delays are almost certainly due to either missing or non-functional forward/reverse DNS (the SSH server will perform these lookups when connections are received).

You've got at least three options (in order of preference):

- Add the appropriate (A/PTR) resource records to DNS so that the queries get a valid response

- Add entries to /etc/hosts file

- Set "UseDNS no" in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and add "-u 0" to the parameters passed to `sshd` when it's started (how to do this will vary by distribution/operating system)
Could you explain that last part further?
> Mozilla doesn't have a real sustainable business model right now.

I've said this many times and I'm going to repeat it again; I wish Mozilla would offer me a way to purchase a monthly subscription for Firefox.

I want to support the open Web and I want to support FireFox development (but not any n+1 random Mozilla products / experiments) and I hate that they don't offer this.
All of these have workarounds (obviously), but here are the unstable features I'm using in my most recent (<10kloc) project:

#![feature(bound_cloned)]
#![feature(const_float_classify)]
#![feature(const_fn)]
#![feature(const_fn_floating_point_arithmetic)]
#![feature(const_generics)]
#![feature(const_panic)]
#![feature(once_cell)]
#![feature(option_result_contains)]
#![feature(or_patterns)]
#![feature(str_split_once)]

once_cell supersedes the eponymous crate.

or_patterns are pleasant syntax sugar.

bound_cloned, option_result_contains, str_split_once are minor convenience shortcuts for things you can do slightly more verbosely on stable.

The other half are all about const generics and const fns. You can emulate some of them on stable, but the cost far outweighs that of switching to nightly in my case.

Careful how those stats are collected/computed. I don’t think statistics techniques and the methodology that’s used to run these kinds of experiments is anywhere good enough to make such bold conclusionary statements. It sounds nice in theory but in practice social sciences are to other science disciplines (that can make such definitive statements) as tabloids are to news papers. It’s a cheap imitation from the viewpoint of the strength of the conclusions. I hope they get to a better footing eventually but that entire field is way to arrogant right now in the strength of the conclusions they make based on bad science (limited population studies, small effect studies, rarely/never publishing negative results which is a kind of p-hacking en made, lack of reproducibility, etc). That also ignores the fact that epistemologically they have a weak footing of not actually concretely describing their terms (ie happy, sad, good, bad, etc) or how they can measure these things (what is 1 happiness unit?).

Once you start seeing links establishing how to actually measure this stuff with technology, then the results will be more meaningful (easy to replicate experiments, easy to do things en masse more cheaply and quickly).

That being said I still have respect for the work being done. It should still be done rather than wait for better tech but the incentive structures for that field need to be drastically different to better reflect the quality of using that data to make decisions (maybe a generally agreed upon ban to feature it in “public” media/journals, more careful reporting by science journals to limit to the results of meta studies or major reversals of what might be orthodoxy, publishing lists like Math does of what are open problems and what are assumed to be the conclusion even if not proven yet, etc). There are reforms to be made but until that’s done these studies do more harm than good as people latch on to whichever they want that sounds good to them rather than what’s actual reality).

Flash is an important quirk of internet history and a stepping stone that created expectations of what the web could one day be: a rich, open, cross-device application platform accessible by URL.

And that's what the web achieved with only a few exceptions.

Definition of dose (Websters)

(Entry 1 of 2)
1a : the measured quantity of a therapeutic agent to be taken at one time
b : the quantity of radiation administered or absorbed
2 : a portion of a substance added during a process
3 : an amount of something likened to a prescribed or measured quantity of medicine a daily dose of hard work a dose of scandal
4 : a gonorrheal infection

So the common definition isn't the one you are using. But if you pick your own definition, you get to be right.

Being able to write with accuracy and precision is hard. Don't be too embarrassed by your comment though, we all start somewhere.

> It seems too late to get back in.

It is probably too late to get a tenure (or scientist) track position, but through perseverance I think you can work as a software developer (and probably a bit of a pay cut if you are OK with that) in any number of scientific research institutions (e.g., JPL, any number of FFRDCs). Many of these software engineering jobs have the possibility of working remotely, as well. And your PhD will be a big help if you are applying for NSF, NASA, DOE grants. I work at an atmospheric science research institute and we are in the process of hiring an AI/ML developer. I too prefer the academic / research institute life. I am looking forward to getting back to science conferences when the pandemic is over.
Here's Pew, which I trust more than a Vice person-on-the-street interview: just 1/4 of Latinos have even head of the term, and only 3% use it. They're mostly just wondering what the hell Very Online People are on about.

Again: zero objection to people using the term "Latinx" for themselves! If you tell me you identify "Latinx", that's the term I'll use for you. I understand that it's a serious and important term, for instance, for LGBT people. But that just makes Warren's use of it all the goofier. When she talks about helping Latinx people, are we meant to infer that she's specifically talking about LGBT people of Latin descent?

As I understand it from friends who're in to rotary engines, the biggest problem is the spark plug hole. The seal - which is being forced outwards by rotation - will fall in to the hole slightly and then wear against the edges of the hole as it rotates past. This gradually increases blow-by and reduces efficiency until it no longer seals at all.

This design has a smooth surface against the seals at all times, and they can be lubricated directly.

Yes, it's definitely "performant" if by "performant" you mean "exactly matching the well-established performance of qemu emulation" which means: slower than Rosetta2 with higher CPU/memory/power usage but still functionally correct for the most part.

If by "performant" you mean "as fast as it used to run on x86 Mac hardware" than the answer is: No, it's emulation, and it's slower than Rosetta2.

A lot of people do this but the major bench mark everyone compares against it the S&P 500.

My recommendation is take your data, find 10-years if you can, and then rank the top 100, or 500 stocks, I recommend 100. Now create a portfolio which rebalances itself monthly based on the sentiment from each network.

So you can have the WSB69, TWTR140, ST50, and such, to see which one is the most accurate. From my testing with sentiment analysis ages ago, I believe it doesn't work, but there are people who would jump onto those because it's fun for them.

Digital marketing is one channel of marketing and arguably the most cost effective compared to out of home, direct mail, direct response, tv/radio, endorsements etc. Google will argue because of cost efficiencies in the market, it has allowed hundreds of brands to effectively compete against established players creating a more competitive landscape.

Here’s an example: Dollar Shave Club launched with a only digital marketing strategy and pressured Gillette to significantly cut prices to the net benefit of consumers. Without digital marketing, DSC wouldn’t have got off the ground.
