> the act of speech does not impede anything

It absolutely does. It leads to a climate of fear for those affected by it, especially once it becomes widespread.
Their honor system is supposed to make how the test is administered irrelevant, so why did that not work should be the fundamental question, I think.

Honor systems can work. A well known example is Caltech, where almost all exams are take home exams which students typically take alone in their room or in some other isolated place.

Caltech may have an advantage in this because the classes are hard and it gets harder for you each year. If you need to and successfully do cheat, at least in a class that is at all relevant to your field, you are quite likely to flounder in subsequent years.

So it may not be that Caltech students follow the Honor system because they are actually more honorable than most--it may be because they are smart enough to realize that cheating isn't really going to help them.
That's a really weird way to look at it. I guess if you look at your work as something being forced onto you against your will, yeah. But many people are fortunate enough to select what they want to do and with whom (the company) and their relationship is not at all how you described.
I really wish a webcam could be embedded inside the screen (like the under-display front cams that are just appearing on mobiles). Being able to actually look someone in the eye instead of staring down would be great.

I was even thinking of making something like a teleprompter with a semi mirror but it becomes too bulky :)
"hippy dippy" ?
I actually did run my Fuji camera as a webcam for a Q&A at work. 35mm f/1.4 with a ring light left me looking downright pretty if I do say so myself.

> for purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain, offer or provide to the public a digital transmission service that

If it's a peer-to-peer streaming service where media consumers also serve media to other users, then the argument could be made that users themselves are providing the "digital transmission service".

There may not even be an identifiable, centralized "platform".

What you're saying is that health care needs to stop being about health, I think.

The price sensitivity you're looking for is "yeah, you can pay 5k less for your broken arm, but they'll be cutting it off instead of setting it"
Let's start by banning single-use plastics.

I know it sounds crazy, but tupperware is a thing. We had ways to distribute, dairy, meat, and all types of food before plastic. But even if we do make use of plastic in the future, we need to rethink how distribution happens instead of just slapping everything in its own plastic bag/box for its entire lifetime. It is entirely thinkable that you bring your own tupperware to the grocery store and fill it up, then bring it home. I've been doing this for years with takeout. People are just lazy and can't plan ahead.
I keep being told on HackerNews that Apple's model of total control is so much better for all the users and it helps not ever having to care about software quality.

So that would then be a good thing, right? RIGHT?

It sounds a lot like Laravel Livewire[1]

Also a lot like React Server Components that we saw on HN yesterday[2]

It seems like this is the next wave of web apps. Hopefully once the hype settles, we'll be able to decide which approach is best for which project.

> that's because many people don't vote or take part in political advocacy

That does not seem correct based on the study. 100% popular support increases chances of a measure passing by 0%. If even a small percentage remains politically active, 100% population support should make some difference, and it doesn't.

Secondly, I believe it confuses cause and effect. At some level, people have cognizance that their efforts make no difference, so they don't bother.

Denying access to elections and legitimate election fraud seem worse. However, I feel this underestimates invisible power. It doesn't take overt violence or the threat thereof to thwart democracy. In American politics, money does the trick. We need lobbying outlawed, and to prevent the revolving door between government and big industry allowing for things like regulatory capture. Pointing to lack of overtly violent means used to thwart democracy proves nothing.

As for regular people determining policy, you might have a point. However, between regular people and ultra wealthy people making the laws for their own benefit, I'll take the flawed-from-ignorance laws of the common man over the flawed-by-greed laws of the elite. We should also perhaps try democracy before writing it off. We haven't gotten there yet.
This is good timing for my annual christmas/new year toy project. I am curious how this will play with something like https://handsontable.com, which is something I have been enjoying using for data apps.
The author makes some thoughtful points, but I'd like to address part of the quote from Sam Altman:

> It's not entirely clear to me why working hard has become a Bad Thing in certain parts of the US.

I am shocked because this sentiment is entirely clear to me: most people must work hard to survive and their work will likely never be rewarding, financially or personally. Meanwhile, inherited wealth allows a class of people to "work hard" with zero downside risk, all the while claiming they have earned their due. The fact that someone as wise and reflective as Sam Altman cannot understand this is puzzling. He says earlier "I have yet to meet a slow-moving person who is very successful." Again, I cannot fathom how one can fail to observe how class privilege bestows automatic success to certain people regardless of the speed at which they move. Trust funds accumulate, there is never concern over making rent or providing food, and they can easily take low-paying internships or found a startup without any personal risk whatsoever. People without this kind of leverage do not have the luxury of seeking "alignment" in their jobs. They do the actual hard work at the firms owned by the warrior class of inherited wealth, and are then admonished for not working hard enough to enrich the owners further.
Sounds like Phoenix LiveView. I love phoenix <3
Ah, yes, I was enlisted, so I get your drift. But I wasn't suggesting anything in that space. Just that focusing on the group that happened to get caught isn't really fixing the problem.
My dad worked at USMA from ‘93 to ‘98 and I grew up around the Academy in high school. I always thought it was so cool how if say you left your calculator on the desk it would just sit there and people would work around it. I worked at Victor Constant as a patroller and had lots of fun hanging out with some of the Cadets that were in Ski Patrol as well.
How big is n and how often does it change?
Silly question based on every other comment; value judgments aside, isn't teaming up with a competitor in the same market (ads) for legal assistance serve more of a proof that they don't have a monopoly (there's a competitor viable enough to team up with!), than that they have one?
I am not sure this is true. Do you have any numbers/data backing this?

We didn’t have a coronavirus relief bill until yesterday. Bridging votes is part of policy negotiation.
I'm going to disagree with ARM here: it's not quite yet time to get excited about Windows on ARM. The app support just isn't there yet, and the emulation is not nearly as good as the emulation on macOS. I've been tracking major app and development platform updates [1], and while there is forward momentum, all the pieces aren't quite there for many apps to offer ARM versions. Many Windows apps use Windows Presentation Framework, and ARM support isn't available yet (currently scheduled for the first half of next year). Apps like 1Password and Affinity Photo are waiting for that update to enable them to offer ARM versions.

Hopefully by the end of next year developers will have no excuse not to offer ARM versions.

Suppose you had an important football player in a class, and because of a grade you gave he missed a big game, do you believe there would be negative repercussions?

If so, there's at least a little bit of pressure towards passing those students. I wouldn't even call it "corruption", just normal human bias that everyone is guilty of.
ACOUP had a very good bit on Sparta and it's 'mirage' here:

https://acoup.blog/2019/08/16/collections-this-isnt-sparta-p...

As Devereaux puts it on Spartan child-rearing:

"To sum up: far from being some ideal system of child-rearing, as Xenophon might have it, the Spartan agoge appears functionally identical to modern systems which use trauma to condition child soldiers."

The whole series is a great and very deep dive into Sparta and the summation is clear: If Sparta still existed, we'd all invade to stop the horror.
I imagine that the charge can be used to raise your rates though?
This affects sharers, not freeloaders. "Platforms" are easy to create in the minds of judges.

It creates felonies like:

"Hey, if you'll chip in a few bucks, I can run a plex server for the dorm."

or

"Hey, neighbor, sure you can use my wifi to watch Netflix, if you'll pay half."
Designing a Better Terminal
Here is the way to think about it: The rigidity of two powerful sides not letting the other advance held together certain countries like Yugoslavia and created a rigid framework for countries like Sweden.

Now the Baltic states are not in the rigid framework of the USSR, and potentially threatened by Russia. Sweden may not care to intervene, but the way for Russia to secure the Baltic States from NATO is to seize Gotland. That is something Russia has the capability to do, and Sweden is not very well prepared to defend against. NATO membership would relieve a lot of that risk.

NATO is actually a positive organization in terms of promoting the peace. It is and probably always will be totally ineffective as an offensive alliance. But it is unbeatable as a defensive alliance. So everybody wants to be a member to save on defense spending. I don't think that is awful.
I feel like "breaking up" big tech is not the right solution and furthermore almost impossible to execute.

I assume not, but if your final sentence was aimed at my tongue-in-cheek appraisal of the value of chi-chi delis (which, obviously, i was shopping in) during a pandemic, then please appreciate that I also today spent 35 minutes waiting in a queue for a local butcher and over the past months have been highly appreciative of my local Turkish-run mini-market.

I'm not sure I do think it's a British thing to hate on local shopowners, if anything - the opposite, what with us being a nation of them, and all.

Sure major Supermarkets have captured most of the spend, but that's just the way things are. Convenience comes in different forms.
Lots of people have worked too little and end their lives in debt with nothing to show for it. This is not a good thing. It does not mean they had excellent quality time with the family (usually not). Sometimes a little hard work would be best, but it is seldom admitted by those who need it the most.

At least in my cohort and my university, cheating was endemic and done by almost everyone on every assignment. Not cheating was a significant disadvantage. I didn't ever hear of anyone getting caught which I find astonishing, since I'm sure the graders were faced with multiple identical answers.

Maybe because the subjects were quantitative, there was less scope for plagiarism detection? Or maybe they just didn't really care, or they didn't want the administrative trouble. I'm not sure.

In this space, I was really underwhelmed by Microsoft. I'm a fan of MS Teams, and feel like it works really well. Better than Zoom for the use case of a space for my smallish team, because of the tie-in with OneDrive, Powerpoint, etc.

But, the whiteboard app is just so terrible. It feels like someone did an MVP and never gathered any feedback to improve it. It's essentially useless in it's current state.
Definitely, even without the original.
This kind-of tangential reply is in bad taste, but DHH is currently being an asshole about this very topic on Twitter, so:

This seems cool, but the progress that HEY has made since launch isn't very impressive if that's the flagship example.

HEY's search UX, which uses these capabilities, has been abysmal since the day it launched. It's a much better experience if you disable JavaScript/Hotwire and fall back to the server-side-rendering instead of the hybrid mess they push down. I'm very disappointed that this hasn't been improved. (I sent feedback about this while they were still in their invite-only phase.)

We were also promised custom domain support by the end of the year, and we don't have a timeline or even pricing yet. (That's obviously backend and unrelated to this announcement.) I don't want to go back to Google, but the lack of improvement isn't giving me a lot of confidence as a HEY customer, so I'm considering alternatives.
As am I, but that does not make the risk assessment I put above wrong.

They have their reasons for that metric. That too doesn't make (dead/recovered) wrong.

There are dead people in my life, with whom I had this discussion. "Calculated risk" = optimistic.

The IFR combines futures with actual and does not represent an outcome based risk assessment.

Nature however, will definitely take you, or any of us, to an outcome, should we become infected.

She needs to be more realistic on the constraints of the system within which she is working. Omnibus spending bills are huge. The COVID relief portion of the bill is huge. So the document, which contains the implementation details is gonna be pretty big. There’s now way around it

More importantly though, you can’t reasonably budget more than a trillion dollars without some horse trading. AOC’s real problem is that she doesn’t trust her party leadership, and they don’t trust her. If she trusted her leadership there’s no need to complain before making her yes vote.
But you produce in lower quantities so your development cost makes up a larger slice of the pie, as well as other fixed costs deeper into your supply chain.
I didn't state a position. You assume I implied one. The point was that this will cast a wide net over many services, in response to people pointing out who it wouldn't affect as it didn't seem they considered how most "amateur streamers" operate.
It just so happens that there are lots of people like me feeling "I want to see cat pics, talk about my Subaru, and about VR and ESP8266". There aren't that many feeling "I want to talk about fanged Jews forming shadowy cabals to suck the blood of gentle babies in the night". I'm okay with drawing a nice bright line in the sand, othering the latter, and having them go start communities where they rage that they can't meet people of the opposite sex.

That sort of polarization is desired. I don't want those guys inside my community. I want them outside. And if you're like "Okay, I think the Jews have fangs but they don't suck baby blood at night" then that's not a degree of moderation I'm interested to have in my community. Out you go. Or out I go. Quite happy to self select out of this community of yours where people want to discuss that.

Remember, I'm here for cat pics, not all that other angry shit. I'm okay with the poles being "normal people" and "weird angry dudes". Seems reasonable.

Today in France the most active internet provider "FREE" CEO Xavier Niel, got rich at the time of Minitel...

He came from the east poor suburb of Paris and got suddendly rich by making 'minitel web pages'.

Later he reinvested all its money to build one of the biggest internet provider : free.
It made it a billionaire.

AjaxContentPanels or something to that effect. Those things were a nightmare. At the time, asp.net pretended to be stateful by bundling up the entire state of the page into "ViewState" and passing it back and forth client to server. Getting that to work with those panels was more work than just ajax-ing the content and injecting it with jquery.

In the Microsoft-verse, this might also draw some comparisons to the more modern server-side blazor.

I share your view. My strategy in university was to memorize as much as I could going into the exam and then garbage collect 1 day later and be left with nothing.

This was an arrogant waste of time, but my priorities at that time were to simultaneously max(grades) and min(effort), with the end goal being a job, and my strategy optimally satisfied those goals. In hindsight I wish that things had been designed differently to prevent gaming the system in such a way, to save me from myself, but alas they were not (and still aren't).
The fact that makers of those websites are supposedly 'crypto' experts (and should as such probably not be completely ignorant of information security) makes the presence of such vulnerabilities in their websites more appalling than the same vulnerabilities in your average Joe's webapp.

That remark from L. Torvalds is, I think, about how to approach problem solving. I'm sure he does have some opinions about code style and organization, but I feel that they would be shelved under a different conversation.

Programming is ultimately about reading and transforming data. When presented a problem, the bad programmer (presumably not well versed in DS theory) thinks of it first in terms of "steps to reach a solution". Whereas the more skilled programmer is able to identify which set of DS is a good match to a specific problem. That is, which combination of structures allow for an efficient access and manipulation of the data in the context of the problem at hand. The implementation then stems from that insight.

Obviously this skill is mostly valuable in performance critical code, which the bulk of our trade generally doesn't intersect with. And in an age of fast processors and abundant memory, it's common to see O(N) data structures applied to O(1) problems and barely anyone notices the cost. Thus keeping us in the comforting illusion that we're better programmers than we actually are.
