I don't think "social media" is a problem. Social media has been a thing for almost a hundred years starting with the telephone, then SMS, then online with IRC, video games, forums and early versions of social networks including Facebook.

Social media works well as long as its operator's interests are aligned with its users', which includes Facebook during its early days. Things start going bad when ads and "engagement" enters the picture; suddenly the operator's intent is no longer to facilitate communication but to milk out as much "engagement" out of their users as possible, even if it means turning them against each other.

The telephone, despite being a form of "social media" still works fine (robocalling isn't an issue in most EU countries). Forums still work fine. Hacker News still work fine. Why? Because in all these cases the incentives are either aligned (the phone company wants you to pay them) or at the very least not adversary (YCombinator doesn't directly make money off people on HN, but still maintains it to foster good startup-related discussions that could benefit them later if those reading are involved in YC-backed startups in one way or another).

The solution seems to simply put some regulation around online advertising, whether it's about privacy regarding targeting (like actually enforcing the GDPR) or liability for the ads (there are a lot of scam ads) as to make ad-supported social media unsustainable and force them to switch to an alternate business model where the incentives align with the users (people will have to pay for an account).

With all the sensors in the phone, it is not that hard. There's a lot of research in that field...
REVOLUTION is the very real possibility if/when "negative interest rates" or "stealing citizens money" starts.

Citizens had all trust DESTROYED by the economic elites in 2008. A massive number of Wall Street and finance companies showed how corrupt and how much damage they cause real citizens. Trust is GONE.

Citizens will view that their money is being stolen. All of this is about draining more money from workers and transferring it to companies and the wealthiest 1%. Slavery is when the powerful financially steal workers earned money, against their permission, in an unjust way. In a way that is a system of theft is from poor workers over to the wealthy.

That leads to revolt. Every time "negative interest" goes through your brain, force yourself to replace it with "stealing that causes revolt". It gives you a chance to wake up to see how workers will view it.
I do agree that the altitude must be taken seriously. I've gotten sick. That's why I did write to camp the night before near the trailhead, at 9,000/10,000, and to be okay with NOT going over the pass on day one. Maybe that's enough to acclimate, maybe not. If you feel terrible when you wake up for day one, don't hike, go into Bishop and get a steak at the Bowling Alley. If you feel terrible while hiking on day one, turnaround. But for most people, probably, with that one night's sleep at altitude the day before the hike and a slow first day, they will be okay.

We're talking pretty much about the same altitude situation as going to a ski resort in Colorado.

The thing is, I want even the beginner to experience spectacular mountain scenery so in the USA, that usually means hiking at 10,000, above the tree line.
You are still using “prediction” in a sense that I would say is not at all “risky”.

Put another way, so far string theory is an elaborate kind of curve-fitting — a mathematical construction that matched the empirical data available at its inception, but one that to this day has never predicted a novel measurement. Unencumbered by the theory, we would not have expected any recent experiment to produce different results.
This presents little evidence to support the claim.

Conversely there are numerous companies that work primarily or completely remotely and have done so for the last decade or more.

I wish I knew what it was like to have the math background, and don't at all mean to suggest one should not bother, but as a person on a team of people who have made a few production NN models over the past year: it is completely possible to conceptually and practically grasp iterated reverse differentiation with convolutions well enough to use deep learning to do novel work, without having the deep background math knowledge. For example, I barely know what a Support Vector Machine is, nor could I do a linear regression without a lot of hand holding. But I can design a passable tensorflow model and improve it.

It would definitely be very hard to do any meaningful research from this position, but I know enough to be useful (er, or dangerous) and can read papers and code to keep up with recent advancements, and try things out like different convolution designs, layer designs, gates, functions, feedback, etc.

It's definitely not 1:1, but the mRNA degrades fairly quickly at body temperature (thus, 2 doses).

Deflating the LayoutInflater
Not to discount your point, but wouldn't a fourth option be to buy from the 30% of suppliers not in the DRC?
It's an old problem too. I vaguely remember seeing a driver training video made before I was born, warning drivers not to explore random "shortcut" dirt roads on their paper maps.
What would be the point? Chuck-e-cheese did this many ages ago.
Upfront? We've had inflation for the last 100 years, almost everyone knows what inflation is. And even if they don't know the term they are probably familiar with the concept that their grandfather could buy more with a nickel than you could today.

I really can't see how inflation is in any way dishonest. Not to mention the amount of money maid via taxes(1.5 trillion) absolutes dwarfs any revenue from seigniorage(65 billion).

> "Scientific work should be judged on the basis of scientific merit, independent of the researcher's identity or personal views"

Yes, I get what the writers of the letter say they are arguing for. I'm just not buying it.

What is this "scientific merit"? What it turns out to mean, on closer inspection, is "consensus of people who have scientific credentials in the applicable fields". Which is just as much of an "artificial social construct" as the BS they are complaining about.

In other words, the problem is actually much worse than these letter writers realize. As I said: the problem is not that a bunch of "unbelievers" who just want to decide things rationally are fighting against religious zealots. The problem is that all of the sides who are fighting are religious zealots--just of different religious sects. In science, for example, nobody is fighting for "scientific merit is judged by predictive track record, and nothing else--if your theory makes wrong predictions it is wrong, period, no matter how many credentials you have or how many papers you have published or how many other scientists agree with you".

Note that this is not directly articulated in the letter either; but if you look at how science is being done today, including the science these letter writers are doing, that's what you'll see. At least, that's what I see.
Man that is a good idea. Will put Doordash, SkipTheDishes out of business.
there's pretty straight forward measures that can be taken to dismantle Facebook's dominance. Enforce transparent APIs, everyone ought to be able to build client applications for Facebook. Doesn't diminish their backend, but it does at the very least bring competitors to the table that can create unique ways to consume Facebooks information, it'd be a good start for more diversity. Next one is to destroy the advertisement model. Create privacy standards so strong it breaks the way Facebook monetizes data.

Seem like two fairly common sense steps that, even if they should not work, if anything have benefits for developers and consumers at worst.
Another data point, and I don't work at Google. I had to correct a name of one road near us. I think it took only a week or so.
Prison slave labor was instituted in the US as a substitute for chattel slavery, and criminalization of Black lives immediately matured around it. It’s certainly a lot less visibly oriented around race relations and a lot more couched in a legalistic framework that fits our system and culture, but there’s a direct line from antebellum slavery to the modern prison system.

But not invincibly so. You usually want your defense industries located in the rear, not near your front lines. The US relying on critical defense suppliers in Taiwan is like the Soviets doing the same in Cuba (which they didn't do).

Also, IIRC, the China team has won every recent US war game simulation of a shooting war in the Taiwan Straight. Also the Taiwanese don't get the really good US weapons, because of legitimate fears of Chinese espionage.

Antelope Island is a fantastic place to visit! Glad you found your way back out, eventually. That southern end is very much not a road. Also, it's a good thing you were in a truck, as bison can be very dangerous. I used to hike there almost weekly, but significantly cut back once my brother was attacked by a bison and had to be flown out to a hospital.

> (...) but in my mind the spike proteins that are generated by an actual infection don't typically leave the cytoplasm detached from the rest of the virus.

If the virus is destroyed and released into the extracellular environment, its proteins can dissociate and are further fragmented and processed by the immune system. What’s usually presented to T cells are small antigen pieces as opposed to the whole virus/protein.
> t isn’t just illegal, the US infrastructure is intentionally designed to make it extremely difficult to do at a technical implementation level, with the idea that it would hinder potential abuses

Of course, the tradeoffs would be different for someone else.

For me email is simultaneously important enough I don't want to risk me messing it up and uninteresting enough that i done want to spend the time really getting it right.

The Freedombox mail server would be just as much of a black box to me as Fastmail except Fastmail comes with a SLA and someone else to fight fires.

For now at least - $100/year to have someone else look after it for me is the right tradeoff for me.

People should be paid according to the value they bring to the company. With limited exceptions, a tech worker's location has zero affect on their value to the company.

Strictly speaking, this could also imply that in places where the cost of living is excessively high (coughSiliconValleycough) people are getting paid too much. The implications for where people chose to live if they get paid approximately the same no matter what could rock the residential real estate world the way COVID-19 blew up the commercial real estate world.
It's way less Windows than Android is Linux.

They took out the idea of processes for instance. A single executable runs at a time, and it's dynamically linked against the kernel and running in kernel space. There are no system calls instructions used, just normal call instructions that get fixed up on load.

USB, network, and graphics stacks all live in the executable, not the kernel provided by the box (despite everything running in kernel space).

I've been writing a Rust based devkit for the Original Xbox recently and it feels more like uCOS than Windows.
I agree that it's important to be able to reproduce existing theories. What I don't think is fair is to say that because we have not yet figured out a way to perform this reduction we should throw the theory out. There's a difference between a theory being untestable even in principle and being untestable because we have not yet understood the theory well enough.

I like the analogy of a hash function. Imagine that someone gave you the exact specification of a hash function (e.g. sha256) as well as the hash value of a list of inputs. The only thing missing from the story is the salt that was used in hashing the inputs. You're asked to make a prediction of what ought to happen when you hash the string "hello", but unless you know the salt you can't figure it out. So, you study all the examples provided and try to find collisions so that you can figure out what the salt is. The problem is that while it's easy to hash values, it's very hard to find collisions. It's really frustrating because in some sense you have all the information you need, but unless you're able to find vulnerabilities in sha256, you can't move forward. So, you spend a lot of time trying to understand what this hash function is really doing. Maybe some day you'll crack it at which point you'll be able to figure out the salt and ultimately make your prediction. However, until that day people around you keep telling you that you're being silly because your theory lacks predictive power. They say things like "your theory can predict anything you want it to, just pick your favorite salt and it'll output whatever you want!". It's not that the theory is necessarily wrong, it's that you don't fully understand it yet.
I really have no idea of the specifics between different states and timing in the USA. I live in Finland, so here's what US looks like from here since February:

- leaders downplaying the virus

- no top-down leadership in tackling the virus

- masks made political

- hundreds of thousands of people dead

- media focused on wedge issues and Trumps fantastical statements while people are dying

I do not live in the US and I don't for a second believe that everyone is anti-mask there, but judging from the outside looking at your numbers and media coverage, your whole attitude towards this deadly disease seems f'd up. I don't mean to direct this as an insult to the American people, more as a criticism towards the cultural and political attitudes surrounding this crisis. Anti-maskers of course are not solely to blame - nobody is - but they certainly seem to play a huge role culturally when compared to other countries.

The risk of long term effects is actually very small - almost insignificant. Long term effects tend to be an issue for drugs that are taken over the long term. With a vaccine that is only taken twice, the vaccine itself and its direct byproducts (ie the spike proteins) are only in the body for a limited period. After that it's only the immune response that remains. There's no realistic mechanism for a previously unseen effect to show up from it years down the line.

There is a small possibility that there could be detrimental effects to a fetus, which is why the vaccines are not currently recommended for pregnant women. It's not expected that there would be a negative effect; it just hasn't yet been tested. (Fortunately pregnancy is not a chronic condition, so people can still be vaccinated after giving birth.)

It's not the 'processing of information' that is their concern, it's the 'collection of it'.

Traditionally slavery was an alternative to death for the conquered. I'm morbidly curious what the effects of all Western corporations banning slave labor would be. I doubt it would result in liberation. Would working conditions for the slaves worsen when they worked for local, lower-margin factories instead? I can't imagine them improving.

I have little faith in legal remedies to liberate slaves. Arming them seems the only long-term effective solution. Otherwise the man with the gun will order the slave back to work the second the man in the wig isn't looking. And the man in the wig will remain silent, to avoid revealing his impotence.

Slave labor is inefficient, so perhaps the best way is to topple inefficient slave societies through full-spectrum competition, from military to economic. This pressure incentivizes efficient human resource utilization.

This is obviously the way. Sovereigns will assert their control on any monetary asset. They have, they do and they will.

It is not that far of a leap to consider a timeline where all wallet addresses are simply registered and crypto assets lose their fungible quality. Assets in registered wallets will simply not be relayed to unregistered wallets. That simple. There will be an international wallet address clearing house. Hey Coinbase, want to keep your license to operate? Comply. Paypal? Comply.

You know this is coming. If you don't know, look up all the rules dedicated to banking and securities. Or simply remain blissfully unaware. They won't ban the technology. That's too pedestrian and 1934.. err 84. They'll simply control how you can use it.

The question is how does the crypto asset community rally to head this inevitability off at the pass.
