This is an over simplification and generalization of what the underlying motivations might be.

I will semi-regularly sell puts with a reasonable expectation of being assigned. It is in effect the same as putting a limit order in, with the upside of getting paid for doing it.
Yes, but it was using TDM near exclusively in the digital domain, and not packet switching like we do now, which lead to vastly different levels of service compared to now. The problem isn't digital, the problem is packet switching.

Most people making calls today have no conception of how good telephones used to be.
How you place your hands, bend your wrists, stretch your fingers and generally hold your instrument can greatly impact how you play it. Depending on the instrument, a simple bend of a wrist can lead you to consistently play out of tune, or make it hard for you to hit a specific note.

Even just touching strings in different ways can produce wildly different results; think playing a harmonic note on a bass guitar, which is how you get such a low-sounding instrument to play a high-pitched note. How you blow air through your horn can greatly change the timbre and mood of your music.

There are a lot more examples, and they are all difficult to correct if you aren't able to see what the musican is doing.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I sense a bit of classism in your comment. Seemingly excusing poor people's unsafe behavior because they lack the wealth needed to do it better. However, lots of things are correlated with wealth but not caused by it. Such an explanation could be that the same tendency to take care of things in your life which is helpful for becoming wealthy also causes greater care for personal health or more careful following of social norms.
Surely you're joking, Mr ambivalents!

> The SSPL allows free and unrestricted use and modification, with the simple requirement that if you provide the product as a service to others, you must also publicly release any modifications as well as the source code of your management layers under SSPL.

That doesn't sound like something incompatible with Open Source Initiative standards for "open source". And it sounds like something existing OSI-approved licenses could do?

And yet, SSPL is not OSI-approved, and they did not choose an existing OSI-approved license, instead the SSPL which they say "embodies the principles of open source", but isn't actually an open source license by accepted standards.

So... why? What's going on? What is this really about?

The press release of course doesn't answer the question "why not use an actual OSI-approved license"?

What they describe seems pretty similar to AGPL, which is a pretty inconvenient license for use in commercial products, but is OSI approved. What does SSPL do that AGPL doesn't, and what about it makes OSI approval challenging?
This is not so simple. Low testosterone cannot always be fixed by exercise.

There are men who exercise and yet have low T.

In the abstract of your [3] we see a problem. Quote:

> If you have a low level of fitness you are likely to have a greater increase in testosterone response to exercise. As your body adjusts to the demands of exercise the testosterone response will decrease.

Basically you have to be unfit to get a T boost from lifting some weights. If you're already fit and adapted to exercise, more exercise won't fix the T problem.

Russia stopped the Germans by building more than 34000 tanks and sacrificing millions of lives. The US only really entered the war after 4 years of sitting on the side lines. Yes US support of materials to Europe was important but don’t overplay it’s significance. Also, remember that Europe paid for the US materials in gold. The US was basically acting as an arms dealer, with the 2nd world war being a huge business opportunity for US manufacturing, and the direct reason for the US moving ahead of Europe.

I’ve read that setup was non-trivial. How did you find it?
I know it is the original title, but would it make sense to change it to "Apache" or "San Carlos Apache" instead of "Native Americans"?

The term "Native American" is no more specific than "white europeans", given the diversity of tribes the term is supposed to encompass.
Imagine you’re not in a position to enjoy that escapism, and you’re trying to evaluate whether riding/ordering from/sharing data with a company is going to put you in danger because they’re openly or carelessly collaborating with this hateful mob. Some assurance that your existence is valued is probably better than knowing nothing because the company values your comfort more.
230 isn’t a gift to Twitter, it’s a gift to us. A world where 230 was restricted in the way you describe wouldn’t see Twitter agree to one of your two modes. They’d opt to instead take a heavy hammer to anything even remotely objectionable, so-as to avoid having to deal with any of the controls on your list.

It’s also not clear to me why we’d expect a private company to have to answer to you or me or anybody else about decisions they make. We can choose to not use their services if we don’t agree with them (and many people on this site have done exactly that), but any rule that attempts to say “once you’re popular enough, your business has to follow somebody else’s rulebook for how you decide what content you must host” isn’t going to make sense to me.
Fascinating, sounds like a mix of high-class grammar with low-class phonology.
> it's in their interest to maintain that value by preventing things from going wrong

It's also in their interest to never sell anyone enough tokens that they could become rival stakers, which makes the system vulnerable to node or network failures. Fewer stakers means fewer nodes to disrupt to trigger consensus failure.

It’s important to defend the product and the software ecosystem because so many people are confusing AWS’s offering with what the current state of the system is. It’s so bad that some people actually think that AWS _is_ the developer of Elasticsearch in many cases due to the Elastic-X branding similar to the I-Noun convention that Apple tried to defend against but fell short of squashing around the world. It’s also important to note that not defending one’s trademark sufficiently well means bad things in a court precedent where there needs to be reasonable, demonstrable evidence you’re not simply a patent / trademark troll sitting around waiting for someone juicy to sue rather than small fries.

I also recommend Jamulus (https://jamulus.io/) for really low-latency audio. It got a fair bit of attention and development done during 2020 and now works better than ever.

I regularly stumbled upon open jamulus rooms which some music teachers used for their private lessons. They usually spend a lot of time (painfully so) explaining the students how to connect everything and use Zoom simultaneously for video.

Please try to explain yourself. Apple makes proprietary products and gets huge levels of market saturation. So it is unclear what you're saying. There was already a past discussion showing that e-ink being proprietary is not the reason why electrophoretic displays are more popular. In short, cost of development and market volume is the bigger reason why it has not gotten more saturation. There's no patent blocking development of electrophoretic displays and this can be seen by the many startup and larger entrants into the space like fujitsu, liquavista-amazon, qualcom/apple-mirasol who tried to scale up production and then failed.
Here is the paper discussed (Buss et al. 2021) -- https://science.sciencemag.org/content/371/6526/288?ijkey=01...

The October 76% attack rate figure for Manaus seems to rest on the assumptions that (1) blood donors are more likely to be asymptomatic and (2) asymptomatic infections are more likely to be "serosilent" (ie not visible via IgG antibodies). (1) seems likely a straightforward assumption, but (2) doesn't seem obvious to me or to be backed up by the reference (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32793928/?dopt=Abstract). Since lot of the analysis of the viability of herd immunity as a strategy in the Science article rests on Buss et al's estimation of the attack rate (and by extension the estimation of the seroconversion rate in asymptomatic cases), it seems important to get right. Which is to say, if the estimation of attack rate is significantly too high, then Manaus might not have yet approached the HIT, and the whole analysis is wrong.

Can someone with more background here explain (1) the methodology of estimating the seroconversion/seroreversion rates in asymptomatic cases, (2) whether asymptomatic cases are more likely to be "serosilent", and (3) anything else I might be missing/misunderstanding? Regarding the seroreversion estimation methodology: it seems like they simultaneously reduced the threshold for what counts as a positive and modelled seroreversion via exponential decay:

"[W]e assumed that the probability of an individual seroreverting exactly m months after recovery decays exponentially with m. We estimated the decay rate and the proportion of patients who seroreverted using the seroprevalence data from Manaus to find the decay rate that minimized the number of new cases in July and August while avoiding decreases in prevalence".

Is that a standard way to model seroreversion? This seems to model it quite differently: https://immunology.sciencemag.org/content/5/52/eabe0367
I don’t think this is the same. We’re not increasing influence based on the reputation/amount of upvotes of the user, but rather based on the similarity with known-good actors. The user might never post themselves, and therefore have no karma of their own.
> In 1920, the New York Times famously mocked the proponents of the idea [the rocket], implying that they lacked the physics education of a high-school student. (In 1969, the newspaper issued a light-hearted retraction a day after the Apollo 11 astronauts lifted off towards the Moon.)

Is there any technological opinion people had in 1972 that would be considered embarrassing by today's standards?

The only thing that comes to mind is that Simpsons quote: "I predict that within 10 years, computers will be twice as powerful, ten thousand times larger, and so expensive that only the 5 richest kings of Europe will own them"

Simple Questions to Hone Python Skills for Beginners in 2021
Welcome to the December edition of Visual Studio Code update for Java. December is the month for refreshing. When this blog was published, we are already in 2021, so firstly, Happy New Year to everyone. In this edition, besides sharing the latest enhancements made in December, we would like to invite you for a quick poll, which will take less than 2 minutes, but is valuable for us to learn what will make VS Code a better tool for you in 2021. Let’s start.

Super into the CO2 estimate part. I think incorporating shipping is a easy first place. While much harder, future iterations could consider the composition of the product. Is it plastics? Etc

Piano is a notoriously difficult instrument even for regular music production, just because of its broad frequency range and harmonics are a pain to deal with. So kudos for zoom for at least making it sound palatable.

I do wish there are more examples for other types of instruments or even voices. Guess i'll have to try it out myself.
The US did almost nothing for 4 years, except selling materials to Europe in return for gold. It only joined the war after Europeans had already killed more than 23 million Germans, and destroyed most of its military. Claiming that the US won the war is BS. The US was part of a large group of countries that won the war, all contributing to defeat the Nazis.

OK but in isolation there’s nothing wrong with going after malware developers. They might be "weak, non-customer defendants" but I’m certainly not going to feel sorry for them.

Also it’s not clear what fb is supposed to be doing then? Just let people write malware and steal user’s data? Be damned if you do and damned if you don't.

> Higher-income individuals were more likely to report being able to work from home and more likely to have transitioned to telework instead of losing their job. The researchers found the ability to telework emerged as a huge predictor of whether someone would social distance. Compared to somebody who continued to work, people able to telework were 24% more likely to social distance.

> The team found lower-income respondents faced increased chances of job and income losses due to the pandemic and limited access to remote work. They were also more likely to live in homes with no access to the outdoors – access to outdoor space was a very strong predictor of social distancing, the researchers found. People with access to open air at home were 20% more likely to social distance.

> All of these burdens ensured those earning the least would have a harder time adopting social-distancing behaviors, which could have prolonged the pandemic, the team found. Social distancing was simply more practical, comfortable and feasible for people with more income.

>Sure, but in the USA it's actually really hard to incite violence in the eyes of the law.

According to the Ars piece, Amazon claims that Parler users were planning violent attacks openly on the site.

That may or may not be true. I guess we'll just have to wait until the archive[0] is fully released.

If it is true, that might be incitement, but it's definitely conspiracy. And since folks died, it's quite possible that at least some folks could be charged with Felony Murder (discussion here[1]).

But we obviously won't know until we can get our greasy little paws on all those messages, photos and videos.

Google has their own complicity as their algorithm similarly encourages monetising conspiracy theories - which is the problem. Facebook just have a bigger problem in that their monetisation requires a captive audience which amplifies any groupthink, not just showing people what they might be looking for.

Call it the Alex Jones method. Promote a conspiracy theory and monetise the traffic via advertising views, affiliate links or actually selling products that mitigate the effects of conspiracy theory you pushed. All online advertising makes this profitable to anyone and that's what needs to be addressed.

With Garmin watches you don't have to pair it to a phone or set up Wifi. You can just plug it into your computer and download the data. There exist a number of open source tools. I've only used GPXSee for looking at the GPS data, which actually let me see "correct" swimming distance data where Garmin was using some algorithm that didn't make any sense.

I mostly use the web ui but loading the data into one of the open source offline tools is on my to-do list. There's actually some analytics/reports I want to generate that Garmin doesn't provide, so I might end up doing it purely to write some reports.

(Although the peace of mind I would get knowing that I could pull the plug on my Garmin account whenever I want would be nice.)

Though it isn't perfect. When Garmin had the outage last year I unpaired my phone which actually reset some of the configuration I had done on the watch, which was really annoying.

One of the 2 netjack implementations uses Opus - great stuff.

Absolutely right that the good stuff (i.e. not zoom) requires way too much setup, and even then (as you note) you're not guaranteed reliable function because you don't control all the hops. Soundjack gets the user-side fairly good, but it's still not quite what I think would have really taken off during the pandemic - probably needs a mobile app for that.
