e-estonia pops to mind?

Not to long ago in NL we had a paper form for everything. You would get a 100x photocopied document to fill out. They started with your name, then your address, your income, etc etc and then you had to provide evidence for each item. I managed to fail to produce the required information countless times. Usually the issue was that one had to fill out a similar form to obtain the proof ending in circular requirements or some misplaced document or form. Then it all had to be checked which replicated the same process behind the screen. I use to joke to them that asking me (the citizen) to gather information they already have is asking for me to make a mess from it. How do you tell I was the party who did it wrong with so much hand work? What if you get it wrong? Howmany new forms do I have to fill out with my name and my address and proof of address etc?

Today I get an email telling me to look at my inbox. I see what I'm entitled to, what bills I have to pay or it asks me to confirm something.

It works wonderfully compared to the way it use to work but the digital ID they provide cant be used by companies or other governments and a message in the inbox about a message in the other inbox is kinda wonky. Just give me an email address firmly tied to my real name. Legally binding emails. A place to socialize. A place to sell my private items and my professional products and services. Tie it into the tax system so that I do not every have to look at it. A place to list my resume and find employees. Hook my security cameras into the police system when I press the button. Alert me when me car starts moving without me in it. Give me encryption that only law enforcement can read. Make full product details available from my bank transaction history. Standardize the visum and immigration process. If I'm entitled to social support of some kind: put it in my bank account without asking me to do anything. If the social support obligates me to search for a job organize the job interviews. Make sure I can actually get there. Give me an agenda. Put API's on everything, let me code my own components if theirs doesn't do what I desire. Require the extensions to be modular or up to spec so that others can use it too or so that it can become part of the standard interface.

All the while making sure nothing or no one has access to data they don't need nor do things they shouldn't be doing with the data. (Delivering post or email requires only a key, no knowledge of the address)

Just be ambitious about it, make it work. I'm sure half the suggestions above raise serious questions that we can try to answer.
Not true. Amazon created thousands more jobs and Walmart is paying $5 more base than local grocery chains. Thousands of unemployed small retail/restaurant paid $10 now have at least $15/h jobs.

I work for a company that sends phishing test emails like this (though not as bad). It has gotten to the point where legit company emails look just as suspect as phishing tests. I feel like I am just a part of some psychological experiment now.
It's hard to find a good solution since the main Tiddlywiki is built as a single-user rather than multi-user solution. But these two tools may help now or in the future since they are being developed. (I can't definitively answer since I'm not super familiar with either).

There's a Noteself setup of Tiddlywiki (https://noteself.org/) that syncs with a database and has revision history. You click on the upper right corner of a tiddler to access revision history. The revision UI's not very intuitive to start and I'm not sure how making a public site with revision history available would work though. It also is on version 5.1.21 rather than 5.1.23 of Tiddlywiki, though maybe the maker plans to upgrade in the future. You could ask here https://forum.noteself.org. I just started using it so I'm not super familiar with it.

TW5 Bob https://github.com/OokTech/TW5-Bob is being built to serve one or more Wikis for multiple people, but I don't know that they have revision history (I could be mistaken).

If:
1. The company sent bonus emails in 2019 via email
2. The offending email was from 'happyholidays@godaddy.com' (instead of 'goCLaddy.com')

would it change the legal perspective? I could totally see myself seeing such an email and making decisions based on the premise that I had additional income coming. I think I've read advice in the past that if a "reasonable person" would believe it, then it counts as an informal contract or something.

This is a bad mistake that could happen in many organizations. But if we'd blanked out the company name in the headline, and used HN comment voting to collectively guess at which well-known tech-ish company this happened, I would've been very curious to see which ones percolated to the top.
You are taking the example when dithering is done independently for each color channel. Dithering can also be done across color channels, which can be useful for displays with more than three primary colors. Even in those cases, I found dithering to work better in the physical space, and not in perceptual space. I am trying to understand why.

Further, the question still remains why is it that mixing of photons spatially as you explained works better imperceptible pixels, and yet we need these non-linear color spaces when having larger areas.

Goes without saying that the intensity hit for 50 need not be the midpoint of that hit for 0 and 100 given the gamma curve, and actual mapping of the value to intensity for the pixel.
Do these variants mean something? The UK has some of the best genomic testing in the world. I'm guessing most countries have their own variants floating around with no clue.

I just don't buy the gloom and doom this time. Rona mutates relatively slowly, we are very lucky. This article says half the rate of flu https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02544-6

And we should remember that flu is much more deadly when nobody has existing immunity. Even when the virus mutates, humans create a broad spectrum of antibodies against different parts of a virus and usually at least some will still bind to variants, but maybe not as well. Once a significant portion of the population is vaccinated COVID may become as or less deadly than flu.

This is why the only flu variants scientists freak out about are zoonotic strains. They're different enough that existing antibodies don't work.

Zoonosis is unlikely to produce more coronavirus pandemic strains like flu because flu infects our livestock and birds, and these SARS-like coronaviruses seems to only exist in bats. Humans have very little interaction with bats.

I find it likely that COVID vaccine will become a one-and-done vaccine given to children, given its low zoonotic hybridization potential and slowish mutation rate.
The last season of Homeland I thought was incredible. It felt like everything pushed to the extreme. Overall great show.
Implementing Anonymous Posts on Gurlic
I've heard before that the smarter you are, the more naive you are. The way I think about it, the smarter you are the more often you are correct about something that no one else is, which causes you to rationally place your judgement above others, which causes you to believe a bunch of nonsense. When presented with counter-evidence, you are more likely to trust your own reasoning than to trust the evidence.
Full Open Source and Libre software will be a solution, as it has always been.

When the hardware can't make the guarantees, then software really can't do anything about it. There's really not any checks you can do, but modern hardware is getting the capabilities to try to prevent those kinds of issues with the IOMMU units, but operating system support is still hit or miss for most hardware and it won't prevent everything (just devices stomping on each-other with DMA). That's basically how the thunderbolt attacks have worked and the solutions to them.
> saying fat free water!

You keep repeating this as if fatty water were an entirely bizare notio. Suppose you heard of... milk? And militant vegans? And soy-milk?

I haven't seen soy-milk claiming to be gluten free, but I have definitely seen many milk products claiming to be lactose free. And I'm bad at drawing analogies, because I don't know what drove the author.

For sake of the argument I'd say that any investigation a male bias could be spun into into an investigation of male surpremacy. So your trying to claim male rhinoceros were better at dying, is it?!?
Employee bonuses are not gifts. They are compensation.

Moreover, as labor-related/compensation, they are generally subject to administrative regulations that trump general rules of contract law.

They cover that your second or third year of law school, if you take employment law or administrative law.
Robot Vacuum, cleaning the floors in my place used to honestly be a task that took well over an hour I used to only really do it when it started to look bad. Do it all the time now and every time it's done you walk in the room and are surprised how nice it suddenly looks.
This doesn't change the fact that regardless of height, the residents in those buildings are having hundreds of thousands of pounds of debt forced onto them because of a retroactive law change.

And While Non-ACM cladding isn't illegal, it's still being treated as a risk for 'low-rise' buildings. It's still resulting in surveyors deeming the property unsafe, and it's still resulting in the leaseholders (not owners) of those buildings having to pay millions to 'remediate' it.

This coupled with decades of deregulation, poor construction and minimal oversight has resulted in over 5% of the market suffering from the same problems, ACM, Non-ACM, 50 meters tall, or 5 meters tall.

And nearly all of it is driven by the banks. The government has only banned ACM cladding, The banks have done the rest.

The banks don't give a shit that your odds of jump out your window are 50%. The banks just want to make sure the property they've given you a loan against doesn't burn down when you die from the fall.
Rudolf Carnap - An Introduction to the Philosophy of Science

Maybe it didn’t “change my life” but as a physics/math student this was probably the single book that most affected my internal ideology, by simply raising so many questions I hadn’t ever considered (or if I had, it was clumsy and inadequate).
The financial sector is not part of the agreement. So a lot of financial trades based in London for the EU will likely relocate.

And as others pointed out, they are still bound by EU regulations apparently also future ones without having a say in it.

Of course, they will tell you that they got what they wanted.
I think rust is kind of a perfect language for being profligate with dependencies, because the safety guarantees, typing, etc make it very hard to misuse a library, and relatively easy to design a library that is hard to misuse.

A lot of what is not enjoyable about rust as a user is really nice when it's being imposed on people who are not you, whose work you're interfacing with.
>A set of arbitrary unenforceable rules to shame practices that is decided by whoever convinced other ethicist to grant him a PhD.

As someone also skeptical of ethics, this isn't a very useful or helpful way to see it. You say ethics is arbitrary, but it's only as "arbitrary" as every other humen-made system, and there are some (good, in my judgement) theories on the connection to human evolution.

You say that ethical rules are decided by an ethicist going for a PhD, but historically, ethical discussion has happened outside the (formal) academy, never mind just to score a PhD. Why couldn't we say the same about sociology or economics, or even mathematics? It's not as though these people decide ethics for us - ethicists only decide ethics to the extent that artists decide what's blue or red. It's a process you are more than welcome to engage in from "the outside", and you don't need a degree in philosophy to do so. The fact that you may be ignored is irrelevant to the correctness of your theories.

If you disagree with an ethical theory, even a popular one, it's your freedom to refuse to obey them when imposed for the reasons you put forward. It may even be a moral responsibility to do so.

You say ethics is unenforcable. This is quite clearly either trivially true, or false - ethics has been and is enforced by levaging moral responsibility both on the conscience of the actor, and what society will tolerate (usually when ethics may process to law). Shame and guilt are also motivating factors.

You speak as though there is no ethics behind making bad practices illegal, but law is filled to the brim with such debates that often hinge on ethics, or principles we will or won't give up for ethics. To take a recent example, debate around freedom of speech or religion. The whole reasoning behind those "self-evident" freedoms is our ethical reasoning.

Ethical reasoning is neither static, nor ever in the best possible state. Ethical discussion (mind you, led mostly by people who aren't experts in ethics) over the past 100 years alone has changed so much. To dismiss it on the grounds that it changes is to your own detriment as someone who, like everyone else, is part of the constant ethical dialogue. By refusing to engage with the philosophy PhDs in reasoned argument, you're giving up your "vote", so to speak.

When I see an argument or position in philosophy which is too narrow, built on false premises, ignorant of previous research, or simply logically fallacious, I don't throw my hands up and sneer at those careerist PhDs in their ivory tower. I don't give away my seat at the table, bury my head in the sand and insist they're wrong for reasons I refuse to articulate. Instead, I form my principles for myself, and if questioned why I don't follow the current trendy theory, my answer is simple - "It's wrong, and here's why..."
Yeah, promissory estoppel is a thing. It's not technically a contract, but it's equitable relief that might be available if there's reliance and no other remedy.
Every national park I've visited in North America seems to not only live up to hype but surpass expectations once visited. I've been to many parks in the U.S and Canada. I don't have a favorite. My favorite usually winds up the park that I last visited. So, currently that would be the rainforest, beaches and mountains of the Olympic peninsula in Washington. Camping inside the parks makes a big difference. Backpacking, even more so.

One park that I visited on a whim was Capitol Reef, in Utah. My plans for several days backcountry camping in Zion fell through because of snow fall late in season. I had to improvise. Hikers are some of the most friendly people and love sharing knowledge on the trail. One suggested I check out Capitol Reef. What a gem! It was far less crowded than Zion and absolutely gorgeous.

See the parks! Camp there! You'll need to plan 6 months in advance for permits to the most popular destinations.
Ah, that would explain why I didn't see you at the party last night. Too bad, we had a blast. /s

In all seriousness how is a laymen supposed to know it's phishing? I assume Broadcom has specific places/processes to organize parties that people should know about?

Emily Wilson, whose 2017 English translation of the Odyssey is extremely readable, is now working on translating the Iliad.

https://www.capstan.be/british-scholar-emily-wilsons-fresh-a...
The article reproduces a famous illustration of Kepler's Platonic solids model of the Solar System from book Mysterium Cosmographicum. There is another beautiful illustration from his later book De Stella Nova that is relevant to the Great Conjunction that occurred just a few days ago:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_conjunction#/media/File:...

This is the so-called "trigon" which was used to predict the location of Great Conjunctions over time. Each conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn occurs every 20 years and about 120 degrees separated in the sky, thereby forming a triangle. But after a cycle the triangle gets rotated by about 8 degrees, so over time you see a slowly rotating triangle. After three or four cycles the locations of the conjunctions shift from one set of constellations to another. These shifts were considered astrologically significant and received a lot of study.

At any rate, this drawing inspired Kepler to try using inscribed polygons to model the distances to the planets. This did not fit the data well so he generalized to three dimensions with Platonic solids and ended up with the model represented by the figure in the article.

It is a shame that it is so difficult to produce good, clear illustrations because, as the article explains, a clear diagram can make a tremendous difference in understanding a difficult concept.
How else would you get folks incapable of getting a PhD in hard sciences to rule over the folks that do hard science? How else would you make those who manipulate real-world data to get their preferred outcome feel good about themselves while doing it, or at least to hide the ugliness captured by the data? Wouldn't getting famous from hard work and taking risks take too long when one can just shame some top ML honcho on Twitter and become the ethical AI celebrity overnight? I predict we will need a license to do ML research soon and that would have to be rubberstamped by some AI ethicist... Not like the most recent ML conferences aren't doing that already ("Your dataset has only two genders? Bye")
Very much looking forward to Emily Wilson's forthcoming translation. She translated the Odyssey a few years ago, still in verse but with less stilted language, definitely makes it more accessible. Looking forward to reading it to my children when they're just a couple years older.

I don't want them to be tech professionals. I want them to use the best in class tools they can get, which it turns out are also the easiest to use and often the cheapest.

Any consultant could have set them up that way in an hour.
