> Folks can rant about free speech all they want, but no sane person would actually want to experience it.

Always remember that "free speech" is 100% about the right to say what you want and not be prosecuted for it. It has never, ever been about the social consequences of any particular one person's speech. Insulting your boss and getting fired isn't an abridgement of free speech, neither is getting banned from the neighborhood pub for racist monologues.

Nonsense. What is more likely — innocent legislators looking out for the best interests of their people are caught under the spell of uniquely persuasive lobbyists who paid for dinner that one time — or that this game has been being played for decades and that both sides know exactly what’s going on? Lobbyists donate to the politician’s campaign or foundation in exchange for political favors. If things go well, the bribe is increased to insider trading tips, a board position, or a cushy private job at the lobbying firm after their term is up. It’s that simple.

has anyone done a comparison of ML pipelines from a devops centric perspective ?

For example, Metaflow doesnt support kubernetes today - https://github.com/Netflix/metaflow/issues/16

so ultimately the scale up story in most of these management tools is iffy.

I previously asked about kubeflow here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24808090 . Seems people think its pretty "horrendous". It seems most of these tools assume a very specialised devops team who will work around the ml tool...rather than the ml tool making this easy.

I don’t think unsafe is my main issue, with saying SF is comparable. Having lived in SF, Stockholm, London and worked for years in Amsterdam, SF just doesn’t have the density of public transport.

Let’s us Stockholm as an example: 100 metro stations and 170+ suburban rail stations, 60 light rail stops, on 2.3 million people in 6,519.3 km2 (2,517.1 sq mi).

San Francisco (Nine county, Bay Area), 33 metro stations, plus 87 additional metro stops about 200 station (ACE, Amtrak, BART, Caltrain, SMART, and VTA), on 7.75 million people, In 6,966 sq mi (18,040 km2).

The station density is nearly 2.5 times higher and on less than half the population.

I’d be curious about this as well. I was on a medication previously that had a rare chance of causing Stevens-Johnson syndrome (very severe rash with other possible complications). I did some research on it, and the standard approach for the medication is to titrate patients up slowly, and if anyone has a serious reaction they back off to a lower dose and “rechallenge” with a good success rate.

Not sure if something like that is possible with the vaccine and patients who have an allergic reaction but I’d be curious to find out if a similar approach of “rechallenging” would work.

> If you fly with a bike then you’ll want a hard, padded case for it, like one of these[1].

Sure, but flying is very much an occasional thing; you have to semi-disassemble a bike to put it in a case like that, and generally reckon on having to do a shakedown ride after you've unpacked it (at least I do). Putting it in a box every time would not be practical.

> I also keep my best bike (I, er, have several) in the house. i.e. a temperature controlled room.

That's not unknown but not exactly normal; you must admit having several bikes is pretty extreme in itself. If you're not on the ground floor then knocking the bike against a wall or doorframe on the way in or out is almost inevitable, whereas I certainly wouldn't want to do the same to a musical instrument. I suspect the majority of people who are using a bike as day-to-day transport would keep that bike in, at best, an unheated garage.

MOND may be a fringe but wholesale support of Dark Matter by mainstream physics has always seemed cargo culty to me. Over a hundred years and we still don't have a good understanding of dark matter.

A red flag to me is how there doesn't seem to be large amounts of dark matter in areas closest to us where we can see best. It's all this far off enigma. And at least originally the theory existed to explain why the laws of gravitation didn't line up with visual evidence.

To me "half the matter is invisible" is just as outlandish as "maybe our math is wrong about gravitation". I don't think enough of the community questions the dark matter theory.

> Is it possible to use legislation to make encroachments of freedom harder, or does that require a constitutional amendment?

This phrase just drags me into darkness. Things are so broken, that such legislation is impossible to imagine today.

IANAL, but theoretically, yes, we have the ability to pass and enforce laws that would protect individual and societal rights. In practice, you would need a complete overhaul of both the rules and incentives of the current political system; however, such an overhaul would need a fair and just system to be here in the first place, otherwise it'll just entrench the authoritarianism and/or refuse to enforce the good parts, put in there only as platitudes. So, actually, no.

However I do get your point.
I think a lot of the replies you’ve gotten focus on the wrong thing.

Mirrorless in practice really just means the camera works more like your phone camera. You view the image on a screen instead of through an optical viewfinder. That brings some nice benefits, none of them are necessarily a game changer on their own but together it makes for a major step forward in the experience. Now the viewfinder shows you the picture more like it will actually look, the processor can see the image as you’re composing it before you take the shot and provide hints and show you that information overlayed on the image, the processor is involved in auto focusing and can do things like use ai models to focus on eyes, plus the physical benefits like there’s a big complex moving piece the camera no longer needs.

Camera makers then used this change to make a bigger platform shift at the same time. Just like a major version bump in software, if you have breaking changes you’ve been waiting to make you might want to make them all at once. They widened the mount diameter of lenses, which combined with the shorter distance to sensor because of the lack of a mirror gives more flexibility in letting in more light to the sensor. And they built a new set of lenses around it, whereas a lot of the lenses in their old lineups were sometimes decades old and not designed for the crazy high megapixel sensors we have now and in the near future. Most of these new lenses released in the past few years have been very high quality, so to answer your question that’s really where the improved image quality comes from, this new generation of lenses.

Are they really forcing us to use the app for maximizing user engagement? I tend to think they can syphon more user data from an app than from a browser and that would be their motivation.

While I have my tinfoil hat on, let's continue. I think reddit gradually degraded the mobile browser experience on purpose to push users toward the app. Seriously, how hard is it to show an image without clipping it? Images were fully shown before, then you had to click on individual posts to see them without cropping. Forcing people to expand comments is another one. Before we had infinite scroll, then you had to click many times to see the full extent of comments... And then a bit later, passed a few levels of nesting you were forced to use the app.

I don't know if an app like SlimSocial (which let you use Facebook's mobile site with the embedded messenger) exists for Reddit. I hate being forced to accept "permissons" to install / use an app. Personal data is the price to pay for services nowadays.

Probably. When talking about object oriented programs, "abstraction" is oftentimes used as a placeholder for "abstract class" as opposed to a "concrete class". You can see this at play when talking about the SOLID principles and when you get to the "D" part people want to turn every class into an interface because it says you must "depend upon abstractions, not concretions".

While that has the obvious upsides, there are a few disadvantages with that. Imagine that there is a bill that D's want and R's prefer not. Assuming a somewhat even split in Congress, it will be hard to pass that bill. However, let's say that there was a bill that R's wanted, then D's could make a bill that includes both measures. Now the bill includes things that both R's and D's want and a few things they prefer not to have. That bill will most likely pass and both sides will be happy.

By America, I’m not sure what you meant - since you used Europe in the same sentence, I’m assuming you meant continent. But wait, there is no continent named ‘America’. It’s either South America, or North America. Collectively, they are sometimes referred as ‘America’s’. In case you meant country, you are incorrect in that too- there is no country named ‘America’. I’m one such Engineering graduate from India. I hope I didn’t sound like a high-school drop-out!

> Just because some college awarded them a degree doesn't mean they are entitled to high wage.

You seem to assume that the company was forced to hire them right out of college with no opportunity to interview them. Having interviewed for 30 Mech/Chem positions once, I was among 5000 engineers who were interviewed. Out if entire engineering curriculum, the interviewer asked me to make an iron-carbon diagram on the spot. Leave high-school drop outs, most engineers -from around the world - would be pretty hard pressed to get it right in an interview for a plant engineer position. Indian job market is a high supply-low demand market for engineers, and interviews could be pretty grueling!
> suffering long term injury due to covid

Is there any evidence for this except for fake news sites?

I mean, yes, any sickness can potentially cause 'long term injury' - stroke as a consequence of the common cold is very common, for example - but do we have any evidence that Covid-19 is any worse in this regard than regular coronaviruses, rhinoviruses or influenza?
I had one of the most valuable accounts in a video game, so attackers of all kinds were constantly contacting me. I was immediately suspicious of anyone who contacted me. I signed up for the forum with a password from my password manager (I like toying with attackers). I told him I signed up, and a few minutes later he said there was a problem with my account and asked if I used a password manager. I said yes. He said to sign up without it because the site doesn't support it. I tried arguing with him that that makes no sense. But arguing with someone who's lying and refuses to admit it is generally not productive, and the argument got nowhere.

His idea to make me sign up without a password manager was illogical anyways. If I use a password manager on his site, it should be obvious I use a password manager for my video game account, so me halting my password manager usage for his site wouldn't help him get my video game account.
He pulled the same trick with Thiona, Chenodal, Vecamyl and probably more -- it was on the record as his own company Turing's strategy after all.

The tilde is used in mathematics, logic, and computer science, and in those contexts the word in English that's commonly used for it is "tilde".

The word is in conventional English dictionaries, like Oxford, Cambridge, and Merriam-Webster. As those sources will tell you, it's also used to describe the mark "used when writing some languages".

As such, the idea that it's somehow not a word in English is just silly.
