I think generally, Computer Science is a degree and Software Engineer is a job description. So many people get Computer Science degrees, then have a career as a Software Engineer.

Yes, there are Software Engineering degrees. But I think a minority of Software Engineers have a Software Engineering degree.

What this means in practice, is that Computer Science majors need to learn the engineering skills on the job or on their own after they graduate. Although some programs help students pick up some of those skills as part of the degree program.
This has been obvious to anyone with a clue since 2015. Facebook is barely more than a propaganda machine where nefarious actors can spread lies and brainwash the masses who are either too lazy, too stupid or simply enjoy the confirmation bias too much to realize they're being manipulated. It's depressing and sad. Even more concerning is that seemingly intelligent people are equally susceptible and perfectly willing to go down the insane conspiracy rabbit hole.
Can't host it with Google or Amazon, though, as those companies are also willing to take you down before any injunction.

DNS providers will also take you out if there's social pressure to do so; see the recent GoDaddy action against AR15.com. Not sure how you work around that.

As for Internet connection, there was another recent action by an ISP which blocked access to Twitter. So you're not necessarily safe with your ISP either.

I think the only story I haven't heard yet is a landlord evicting its tenants for hosting objectionable content. But without any of the above services, it doesn't really matter.

All that said, it's still possible to stay accessible even if your content isn't legal. The important point is that legal but broadly unacceptable content is never safe. You can be kicked out by any provider at any layer, and getting kicked out once serves as a signal to all the other providers at that layer that they are expected to do the same.

It's kind of like living in a small town 150 years ago. The "people" of the town are the few giant service providers in the country. It doesn't really matter what the law says, if the town consensus is that you are not welcome, then they can make it very hard or impossible to live there. They don't need law enforcement on their side, they'll run you out all the same.
That "ranch" has 1,100 oil wells.

Something similar happened to the King Ranch. More oil, less beef.
Fair. Avoiding things and avoiding running toward things are different risk classes for humans, and we aren't always rational in these cases (see also: Thinking Fast and Slow).

I've known a couple of people with anemia, and many of those conversations have lead to discussion of its opposite - hemochromatosis. The iron and vitamin C link is very temporal. If you're trying to increase your iron absorption from food, adding it to the dish is much more effective than taking a vitamin C pill in the morning. If you're trying to lower it, you try to avoid ever getting vitamin C with food.

A routine blood test can show elevated iron levels (mine came back elevated but not dangerous, which is why I stopped using cast iron for cooking).

My group gave up on 5e because it (subjective) felt like the PCs were overpowered early on (especially the healing rules). It's a different style of play for people who came out of AD&D or who took to the OSR style games.

DCC, which I've been playing and running for a while, is lethal in comparison. Which is a mark against it for many people, but my group loves it. We don't have a death a week, but we had several deaths over the past year. The threat changes the play style versus what we saw with 5e where it just felt like PCs couldn't die unless the DM went out of their way to create an excessive challenge that bordered on a forced TPK scenario.

I'm a big fan of recent microsoft open source developments but this is just plain awful.

I like the concept of revamping the UI and shedding some of the win32 legacy weight but this seems like it will be completely unusable for any sort of power user. A Onedrive first filesystem seems like a nightmare.

Don't think I'm the target audience here but I really hope none of this ever makes it into regular Windows.
The real answer is that neither Google nor Apple should have been allowed to create walled garden unregulated marketplaces that we're forced to use if we don't want our devices hacked.

There is only one logical conclusion and that is that Apple and Google will eventually boot Facebook off their platforms due to increasing amounts of risk associated with mobs and things that allow them to form.
there definitely is tension @ ideal timing re founders (stage) vs programs (efficiency and quality thanks to batching)

being more flexible with the applications as well as access to the overall platform is great

The irony here is your comment alone is more reddit-esque than a common pun train is. Gatekeeping, mass downvoting, flagging, and then verbalizing your personal distaste to how a forum should run in a hostile manner... This is in every big thread. Best to minimize and move on, or simply just leave if this gets you so worked up. But you decided to use the downvote button in place of disagreeing with this very comment; something again, redditors also do not understand.

Having serendipitously dipped a toe into the avgeek waters, it doesn't seem so surprising to me. In a major metropolitan area, you can bank on people listening to ATC traffic and camping out near airfields with good-enough cameras at almost any time. In the avgeek world, one can earn both personal satisfaction and kudos for novel aircraft, so they are especially desirable.

Even a beginner is likely to have an imaging system that is plenty good, with a mechanical shutter. The atmospheric shimmer in the third image suggests that it was made with a longer lens; probably not a beginner.

> you seem to believe that the issue is that I'm lonely

I do think solitude is a fine thing, and there's nothing wrong with a circle of one. Hollow friendships are even more unhealthy, and watching some endless chase for meaning via other people scares me. I also believe loneliness is not obvious: I have met extroverts with many friends who are lonely!

All I am trying to say is that life is a long call option with a far future exercise date.

You are considering suicide. That means that you can permit yourself an immense freedom to do anything or everything. You could make it a challenge (or job, or just for fun) to scientifically search for something that satisfies you... Imagine treating yourself as a child that needs some magic, and give yourself the intellectual freedom to search for it: break outside the boundaries set by your culture and parents and inner voice. Ask others where they find meaning, and experiment upon yourself with things, even things that you might disagree with (while avoiding hurting others I hope).

I like the saying I am committing suicide at one second per second. Living is suicide since we all die!

I will also explain what I am personally doing, not as a model, but just FYI. I decided to do my own "bachelor of humanity", where I spend my time and mental effort learning from others what makes them tick. I also recently have dedicated significant time to supporting others, those who I judge deserve it (ideally unselfish people that give too much and take too little).

The minimum you should do is change careers: I suggest you work in a cafe for a year. Any minimum wage job where you are interacting with people every day would do... it is a form of beautiful hell, but you learn to understand what goes on in the minds of others (the wonderful, the bizarre, and the frightening).

> I'm open to hearing ideas if you have any though.

The boring way would be to investigate the data on how people die within your age band, and pick something efficient?

The fabulous way would be to create a surreal narrative, something outrageous, a bizarre story worth telling.

Best of luck with whatever choices you make: I hope you can find a way to enjoy yourself or even just bring a smile to others, otherwise I wish you do the minimum collateral damage possible...

I live in NZ, so a long delay answering.
> Permitted speech on the legal scope does not matter when talking about businesses.

Sure it matters. It matters because a bunch of people want businesses to allow all legal speech on their platform.

And this group of people is growing in support, and they might eventually get enough support to force these business to do so, using legislative changes such as required these major companies to follow common carrier laws.
Why would this be expected, in your opinion?
I would imagine the data will go to Google Fit which exposes a comprehensive (but difficult to use) API.
Zebra: A consensus-compatible implementation of the Zcash protocol in Rust
Back in the day (3 years ago and earlier) at every company I was at we used the term 'productionization' to describe someone making a model aka a proof of concept, and then someone else, a machine learning engineer or some kind of engineer rewriting it to work on a server.

This process is horrible, and not just because it doubles the work, but because it introduces bugs. When the version up in the cloud does not work as intended, is it a bug in productionizing or is it in the original model? Fixing bugs in this space can take longer than the initial model development and the initial productionization. Many companies have failed over this.

So what's the solution? In recent years the industry has turned to deployment over productionization. The idea is you deploy the model to the cloud directly. Both engineers and scientists work together on the process. The scientist defines what cells in the notebook get called for the final algorithm (as there are EDA / plotting cells and documentation cells too). The engineer sets up the amazon IO stuff, database login stuff, and monitoring services. The scientist works with them to create tests and what to monitor so they get notified if there is a problem with the service.

No more mystery bugs. The model gets directly deployed, the work load is minimal, and it brings people together. The downside is often the engineers and scientists are on different teams, and sometimes companies will not let them merge for a while, so it becomes a telephone game instead of everyone feeling like they're on the same team working together. imo moving the scientist to the engineering team during this time can be helpful, or moving the engineer to the data team.

Some companies have services where entire notebooks get put up into the cloud and all of it gets called, so the scientist has to write the notebook in a way that works for the cloud. It's rarer, but how I prefer it is a wrapper py file is created that calls just the relevant parts of the notebook, kind of like a header file. This process works well for me, but it as far as I know it is not standardized in the industry yet.

In short, if you end up in this situation, there is a better way. Import the notebook into a .py file or into the cloud, don't rewrite it. This (hopefully) will remove this scenario you're describing (comment this is replying to) so those issues will become a historical footnote.

The lack of press coverage of the Trump Administration may also be attributed to the administration reducing the frequency and value of press briefings. This is an article from 2018 and I would put money on it having only gotten worse since.

I think it’s not particularly surprising that cars have parts that fail early and need replacing.

I had a similar failure in my Infiniti 2006 G35. The Bose stereo had a cap that would blow, which would cut power to the whole center stack, including climate control and defog. The radio was a $2,000 part, and they never extended the warranty. I ended up replacing the climate control panel with a non-US version of the part that bypassed the radio.

It’s good that Tesla extended the warranty in this case, as they should have. I think there’s one key part that’s even better, and as far as I know totally unique to Tesla;

> So the moment I qualified for an upgrade to their newer MCU, I just went ahead and scheduled that. Sure, it actually costs me money, but in exchange I get a faster UI, better software support, and hopefully fewer issues.

Tesla has actually designed a harness to allow their newest generation of MCU to be retrofitted into their older cars, and will factory support this upgrade. This gives you access to all the latest infotainment and driving visualization features that came out well after the car was made.

I don’t know of any other car manufacturer which supports their late model cars like this.
Parler was kicked out for refusing to take down violence inciting posts...

Facebook on the other hand is doing the bare minimum :p
Hah. I recently had a conversation with someone who pointed out that it is really odd to see guns as anything but a tool. As in, how weird would it be if someone formed their whole identity around their affinity for hammers or wrenches or winches or chainsaws? But when you see a “gun guy” you are like “yup, that’s America”.
I wouldn't call it small, I'd call impractical at best.

If thats small, how can you describe the size of nuclear power plants required to do the same job?

And power plants would be way smaller and aren't impractical.

Parler's entire marketing schtick was that it was a haven for 'free speech' that might get you banned or fact checked on other networks. Yes, in practice its pretensions to "free speech" were pure pretence and there was a list of things Parler would delete and ban you for, like posting pictures of shit, as well as things it wouldn't, like comparing other races to shit.

But having based its entire marketing around its terms of service being unlike other providers, with a particular emphasis on its greater level of tolerance for certain forms of political extremism, with predictable consequences for the community, it's obviously not in a position to use the "but we're no different from Twitter" defence
It's time. #AbolishCopyright. #AbolishPatents. #EndImaginaryPropertyLaws.
I don't say this to dismiss your experience, but just to share a counterexample:

I found Elixir extremely easy to learn (despite having no Ruby experience, nor any significant experience in any functional languages). I went through the (excellent) official tutorial in a couple days, skimmed parts of Saša Juric's book, and felt reasonably confident diving in to actually writing code. Within a couple weeks I felt like I "got" OTP and idiomatic Elixir.

I do agree that, at least for somebody who uses Intellij IDEs exclusively, the lack of good first-party support sucks. I do most of my debugging via unit tests and "printf" because the Intellij Elixir plugin's interpreted mode is just too slow for the debugger to be useful to me.

> Also, unless you have a gun already or you are physically strong, armor doesn't seem likely to be effective.

Exactly, body armor only helps prevent bullet penetration. Your body is still absorbing a shitload of energy. It's like being hit with a baseball bat. You have to be a large, strong person to maintain physical capabilities after being hit.

Also body armor is extremely fickle; it must be worn and fitted correctly. It is akin to a well-tailored Italian suit. If you gain a few pounds, it won't fit right. Bad fit = bad protection. Also, they don't protect the lower abdomen and groin areas -- which is a serious risk when a shooter is aiming for center mass, bullets fall as they travel.
The hope is that the 4 year degree gave you the ability to quickly pick up those skills on your own.

If your four year degree didn't give you the ability to learn and expand your knowledge on your own, its a colossal waste of your time and money.

My understanding is that most of his wealth is held in MSFT stock which has increased in value by over 4x since 2016.

So if he had given away 75% of his wealth in 2016, he'd still have the same net worth today.
Exactly. I'm not asking you anything here, I understand you don't have time to fix it, but leave it up so another contributor can find it. I'm literally asking you to not do something instead of doing something (closing).
> Fitbit was getting killed and would likely have gone out of business

If this is a reason for acquisition, then why wouldn't G*gle wait until they were "killed" so they could come in and buy their business for pennies on the dollar?

We're fast approaching a dystopian Snow Crash world of all-powerful corporations, and you people are cheering it along.

How can these both be true?

- it's bad all US legacy media is owned by 5 corporations.
- it's good for FB, Apple, Amazon and to buy up all adjacent business.

I don't see how sharing data is a good argument for unchecked consolidation of power. I'm pretty sure Fitbit could export an open standard data format, and Google could consume one. But I guess rich people wouldn't be able to get even richer if they did that.
> Qualcomm isn't the only microprocessor vendor.

Well, actually, on this segment, they kind of are.

> It is fundamentally a lack of commitment by Google to support their product line.

Yes, I think I did say that repeatedly in the post you are answering. I also talked about the Nexus line. The again, Google did buy a giant of the wearable and fitness industry. It's just that the acquisition took a lot longer than expected.

Still, I was initially answering someone calling Wear OS garbage. It is in need of more developers and working on suboptimal hardware however.
I find it pretty hard to believe. I wonder if the statistic takes in account factors like the size of the protest (large sizes alone can be seen as threatening) or the attitude of protesters- I imagine that left-wing protesters can be more confrontational than right-wing ones, especially when the issue at hand is police violence and partly because rightwing people might see the police more as an ally than a threat (because law-and-order and general conservativism).
Do you live in a cave? This past year has given a lot of people reason to want body armor.

Its also a free country, or at least is supposed to be. If someone wants to wear armor why not?
Spending 58 trillion on solar panels would probably induce some pretty good economies of scale, too. What kind of volume discounts do you get on a 15 digit purchase order?

This was a similar ordeal in Minneapolis in 2020. When news choppers weren't circling the George Floyd memorial, it was National Guard and State Patrol scanning for civil unrest, or more recently, State Patrol's investigating carjackings:

https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-news/more-than-40-arres...

I live next to the autonomous zone and the helicopter traffic frequenting our neighborhood always triggers me. During the protests on December 30th we had State Patrol lights shining in our windows.

With all the surveillance and military response to events happening in the country right now, I'm definitely curious to see what these choppers in Los Angeles are up to.
It's becoming more and more difficult to keep away from Google eyes these days. Picasa, Waze, Nest, Fitbit where all companies whose products I used before the acquisition.
This is a fascinating trend - how could you even launch a search service today where that portion of your processing time is going to be spent powering bots (ad agencies?) and not addressing human queries.

I'd argue once X amount of users use your service you are sort of public service company already. You can't use "oh we are a business so we can do anything we want" to defend yourself about that.
Twitter is not a monopoly by any stretch. Regulating how sites handle speech just adds an additional hurdle for new, better platforms to enter. I should not have to have an expensive lawyer on retainer to read injunction requests just for running a <$2/month IRC server because some random important/popular people decided to use publish their manifesto on it.

This has already been tested in court in the Prager University vs Google, LLC [1] trial and was resolved very quickly. Freedom of speech does not mean another individual has to assist you in publishing or advertising your speech. You are free to shout from a soap box but no one has to provide you that soap box.

I really think people over emphasize the power that social media sites have. They own a lot of eyeball market share but they do not have the power to prevent you from publishing your opinions. Anyone can make their own website, their own Mastadon instance (see Gab if you want proof), their own Peertube instance, a lot of work is done by the open source community to make it easy to publish content not reliant on large corporations.
I started using DuckDuckGo, and one day I woke up and all of my email was on Fastmail instead of Gmail. No memory of switching, but all of my contacts were moved over. My accounts were using Fastmail aliases.

I called up my siblings and asked, "where did you get this email address, why are you emailing me here?" And they just said, "what are you talking about, you've always been on Fastmail." I have no idea what's going on. Sometimes I'll go to update my system, and I'll be using Pacman instead of the normal Debian package manager. Then the next day it will switch back. Sometimes I'll search for things online, and I won't find the result I'm looking for, but then a day later I'll get a physical letter in my mailbox with the answer to my question written on it.

So anyway, long story short, I decided to switch Bing instead and so far that's had only minor side effects.
