Seconded. Especially for Go, because it's mostly a lowest common denominator of language features it's not hard to write the code itself. The problem is that the module system is different and had plenty of changes along the years, What I would really like is an up to date "learn how to handle Go project in 30 minutes" tutorial (initialize new project with all best practices, add modules, publish, fork&clone&submit&pr including 3rd party submodules, test, CI, profile, debug).
> seemingly extreme proposals serve to stretch the Overton window before the middle-ground wins out

I've not seen any evidence that this is true, nor that "Overton"-thinking has any evidence as such.

OP's comment is precisely that backreactions to this kind of thinking are often larger than the alleged shifts that are assumed to occur.

NB. The "overton window" is a description of a consensus, not a model; ie., there is nothing of the consensus which is like a dial to be moved.

The reason that people view X as possible is the latent preferences around X, incentives and institutional practices, and their (essentially rational) judgement about the practicalities and possibilities of X.

Eg., Marxism isn't "outside the overton window" by some weird dialogue exclusion. Ironically, it is only in the conversation because of "overton thinking" ie., hype.

It is outside the window because peoples preferences, incentives, and institutional practices are overwhelmingly oriented away from Marxism; which has no practical or evidentiary basis. No social mechanism of implementation. No group of people have the incentives, reasons and power to implement Marxism.

Activism cannot "move the overton window". It provides no reasons, incentives, or power. It changes no institutional practices; it offers no evidence.

"Hype activism" frequently does more harm than good, by reinforcing the status quo.

>Ben Thompson could post articles on Stratechery that make non-libellous false claims about anything he wants, and nobody will stop him. He could this every day for the rest of his life and nobody will stop him. He doesn't like the monopolistic aspects of current social media giants, but continues to insist that they are so important that any "censorship" on these platforms is a significant social issue. I find this contradictory, and naive, and in almost every sense, simply wrong.

This is the important catch that the article seems to miss completely.

More specifically, it ignores the way engagement-driven distribution affects communication in the FB/Twitter mega-silos.

Also, unlike Elon tweets (from https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/blob/devel/README.md#su...):

> openpilot ALC and openpilot LDW do not automatically drive the vehicle or reduce the amount of attention that must be paid to operate your vehicle. The driver must always keep control of the steering wheel and be ready to correct the openpilot ALC action at all times.

While changing lanes, openpilot is not capable of looking next to you or checking your blind spot. Only nudge the wheel to initiate a lane change after you have confirmed it's safe to do so.

Many factors can impact the performance of openpilot ALC and openpilot LDW, causing them to be unable to function as intended. These include, but are not limited to:

Poor visibility (heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.) or weather conditions that may interfere with sensor operation.
The road facing camera is obstructed, covered or damaged by mud, ice, snow, etc.
Obstruction caused by applying excessive paint or adhesive products (such as wraps, stickers, rubber coating, etc.) onto the vehicle.
The device is mounted incorrectly.
When in sharp curves, like on-off ramps, intersections etc...; openpilot is designed to be limited in the amount of steering torque it can produce.
In the presence of restricted lanes or construction zones.
When driving on highly banked roads or in presence of strong cross-wind.
Extremely hot or cold temperatures.
Bright light (due to oncoming headlights, direct sunlight, etc.).
Driving on hills, narrow, or winding roads.
The list above does not represent an exhaustive list of situations that may interfere with proper operation of openpilot components. It is the driver's responsibility to be in control of the vehicle at all times.
That is literally the standard dodge.
This is the kind of black-and-white dogmatic thinking that is the tell-tale sign of software engineer applying their software engineering context to a context where it doesn't fit. I have no doubt many people on this board (not necessarily you) share a similar view, yet are similarly disdainful of privacy protections in the US around one's use of technology (e.g., cell phone tracking, DNS monitoring, cookies, ad-tech).
When has that worked? The same countries have been sanctioned over and over without successfully alleviating tense relations.

Why would a government who doesn't care about its population look at the suffering of those people and change course? Are we naive enough to believe that the Iranian elite aren't circumventing these sanctions personally?

Finally, why? Like, after hundreds of years of imperialism and political interference, I've yet to hear a compelling case to continue doing these things given they've done nothing but push us further away from each other and closer to a climate-crisis, dystopian nightmare.

We need cooperation not blackmail.
Luckily, your code is open source so those in Iran can run their own instance locally.
Point 1 might be less clear cut in some settings. Obviously, if you're just doing a simple regression, it's no big deal, but more powerful models can memorize and expose parts of their training data. See for example: https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.08232
Does public research do it even remotely to the same extent as what gets us advertisements like "Four out of five dentists recommend Marlboro cigarettes"?

Policy has to be based on something. Public research is being attacked because it's not perfect. Okay. If you're going to do that, you should apply the same expectations to private research, and also require that firms prove that their products are safe, to the same rigorous standards that you expect out of public researchers.
This also probably disincentives companies from misbehaving, as being sued by their shareholders is expensive and bad.

I'm not sure how much is by law and how much is by executive order, but I believe that when Biden gets in, he could make some changes unilaterally.

So, essentially this would be about advocating for change by the Biden administration. It wouldn't be by voting (since the election is already done), but writing to your representative could help. Maybe there are advocacy groups that could use support?

Advocating for changes is more likely to be effective with an administration that isn't fundamentally opposed to them.
> This argument takes as an unstated axiom that the correct way to organize society is by having everyone in a role that strictly maximizes that system's assessment of their economic output.

No, that's not the axiom. The axiom is that scarce resources should be allocated to their most productive uses. If the scarce resource of your time and energy can be more productive at building houses if you have a real job and donate a portion of your income to house building, than if you built houses directly, then that's how that scarce resource should be allocated.

Note that it is you doing the resource allocation here, not "the system". It is true that "the system" is very inefficient, but what it's inefficient at is providing people with opportunities to choose from to be more productive with the scarce resource of their time and energy. The way to make that more efficient is more free markets and less government regulation; but our society tends to be the other way around.
But if sending the incompetent American gets you a lifetime donor who pays for many houses to be built (assuming he would not have without the feeling of personal connection he got from his experience incompetently homebuilding), then isn't that the right thing to do if your goal is to build as many houses as possible?

You mentioned efficiency, but the goal was never efficiency - it's to build houses. Would it be better if people were entirely rational and just gave money instead of incompetently homebuilding and then also became lifetime donors? Of course. That's not reality, though.

The complaints seem pretty vacuous to me. Yeah, gyms are one facet of our out-of-whack body culture, but that's an enormously bigger problem than complaining about the windows.

I don't get what he's got against the windows. They make the place feel less claustrophobic, and serve as an aspirational advertisement for the place. (I dunno what the 7-11s are like where he is, but a Google image search[1] turns up all glass fronts, albeit some covered in posters.)

Gyms can certainly be improved aesthetically, though there are lots of different ways. Some people will want the industrial aesthetic to match the feel of the hard work and literal iron pumping. Others might want a softer look, and indeed gyms targeted to women do have brighter color schemes[2].

Personally, my favorite was the gym where I did physical therapy, which used air compressors rather than weights, so it was very quiet. That suits me, though I'm sure some like the clang of weights.

I would believe that if it was a prime (well described, not difficult to understand, easy to find) option where the user had control.

As it is, it is the same as blocking the second level of a house because 'not allowing the residents to climb a stair makes the house safer for them'.

At some point, we have to see that feature prioritization on android serves only advertising revenue increase, and reduced support costs for google.

This one is for the later. With this feature they can remove tons of cost form app review teams they have. They can just allow every app that downloads crap to the data location and call it a day. It doesn't help the user in any way, only google profits.

Actually there is some connection in rough.js' sketchy curve rendering and the way excalidraw smooths the hand-drawn shape. That is the Ramer–Douglas–Peucker algorithm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramer%E2%80%93Douglas%E2%80%93...

The way excalidraw does it, it collects all the points from mouse-move events, then uses the algorithm to take those points and reduce the number of points. The reduction is done by a 'distance' parameter in the algorithm. So instead of `n` points, you now have `m` points. m < n. Then excalidraw fits a rough curve through those `m` points. This fitting is automatically done in roughjs. Fewer points and curve fitting gives the effect you mentioned.

(The reduction algorithm is implemented and used from this package: https://github.com/pshihn/bezier-points)

I personally full supported Obama's sanctions on Iran. They had a purpose (Stop Iran's nuclear program) that made sense and was achievable.

And they achieved it. All European countries and united nations and Obama administration confirmed that Iran was committed to the nuclear deal.Even current and former Israel generals wrote letters to show support for Obama's deal with Iran which stopped Iranian nuclear program.

What the current administration wants is much much more than nuclear concerns [0]. They are basically telling the Islamic Republic to shoot itself in the head. Or face sanctions.

Of course they pick sanctions.

There's 300 million plus people in the United States. Sure, we could overthrow the government, but you can't just go "my way or the highway" with policies; you'll never get support doing that. As spoonjim said, Trump wasn't elected for no reason; He was elected because 62 million plus people voted for him. And with this past election, that number went up to 74 million. And the opposition (Biden/Harris) got 81 million. For comparison, George Washington's support was almost unanimous. Sure, it's not exactly the same, but Washington had the support he did because everyone believed in a common "enemy", the British Empire. Today, depending on who you ask, the enemy is either "the Demonrats" or "the Trumpanzees".[a]

Definitely not. Ethereum is on top of the DeFi world, for sure. But DeFi is not CeFi. As an analogy: DeFi is to smart contracts as CeFi is to “dumb” contracts.

It's currently cheaper to wire money than to send some ETH.
It's a non-story for three reasons, IMO.

1) All three companies are still working on health care projects on their own and it sounds like most of the Haven employees are being offered positions on one of those continuing teams.

2) While it's could just be press release talk, but they claim they will still collaborate in an informal matter.

3) The three companies combined have almost 1.5 million employees. This entire venture consisted of 57 people. Even for the smallest of the three companies (JPM) this Haven was just a drop in the bucket. I've personally worked at much smaller companies that pissed away far more resources and no one gave a shit.

The idea is still valid, each company is still sees value in the space, there was no major falling out between the companies, and the number of employees affected in a negative way is negligible. This is basically an organizational restructuring. Total non-story, IMO.
I hope this is done with Syria which is destroyed by the Iranian regime and left 10 million Syrians as refugees.

What makes things worse, Syria is sanctioned which means American companies cannot hire any Syrian because there's a legality issue. Meaning even Syrian refugees who fled the country cannot find a proper job.

Your country is destroyed, your life is ruined and yet you cannot restore your career. Being denied your right to work is the worst thing that can happen to anyone after war.
