> There is a difference between saying it was a call, and saying you believe it was a call.

No, there isn’t. Like, literally, the utterance “X is true” cannot mean anything other than “I believe that X is true and believe that belief to be justified”. All statements are statements of belief, and all fact claims are based on interpretation of events (and the utterance of words are, themselves, events.)
>If you're unwilling to see the people who disagree with you as equally intelligent, and equally capable of reasoned decisions, then what can I possibly say to change your mind?

Up until this point, you haven't even tried. Within the context of misinformation I don't believe that opponents of the vaccine are making them in good faith, which is why they reach for dubious arguments. When someone says, like I've seen mainly on the blue site, that vaccines are tools of the wealthy to keep us at home and to be tracked, I don't think that person is making a reasoned decision on well researched information; I see someone who is probably being misled by someone else for some other person (ex. downplaying the need to take COVID precautions).

However, your reasoning for not taking the vaccine is perfectly valid and reasoned and is something I've discussed with others - mRNA vaccines are a new technology and we don't know the side-effects. At the very least I can assume you are willing to accept that COVID is real and are making arguments with empirical data.

Circling back to my original argument however, there's a difference between "the COVID vaccine may not be fully tested yet" and "the COVID vaccine is going to be used to track you". Anyone can do the calculus and understand, that while the COVID vaccine may not 100% safe at this moment, that doesn't mean that the government, or the scientific community at large, is completely untrustworthy, or trying to deceive you; they are simply trying to make the appropriate trade offs. In other words, your argument implies a lack of certainty, and the other, and arguably more popular one, implies malice. Our institutions aren't acting on complete malice, so given that they will be wrong sometimes, I think it's unreasonable to abandon our intuitions just because they weren't 100% correct.

Those figures Google highlights are for a Palo Alto product which uses ElasticSearch. Speaking from experience, that is much higher than necessary - usually the 1GB default is more than enough for development use and even production for lighter usage. The general figure to care about is index size - if you’re indexing hundreds of GB in development you might have problems fitting it on a laptop but otherwise this is not excessive or unusual given the massive feature set.
My understanding was that it was distinct inventory at a distinct warehouse optimized for same-day fulfillment. At least in SF years ago, they had cold items like eggs and ice cream (before the Whole Foods merger).
Thanks. These almost all either agriculture or grocery companies. I was looking for a list of tech companies since that’s what I’m interested in and what’s usually discussed here.
At some point you have to start reading the intended rather than literal meaning. Otherwise "it would be shame if your shop burned down" is just a friendly warning for the future, not an extortion. There's a lot of grey area which can be interpreted in context of what people usually do, where their interest lies and what they don't immediately speak out against.

As usual, Simpsons already did it, and claiming there's no relation there is like claiming the tattoo really says "the Bart, the" in German.
>> Which makes COVID the opposite of diseases like the common cold or the flu where kids act like germ factories.

Covid 19 is literally a cold virus. It just happens to have high mortality rate for a Corona virus.
There were a number of utilities that would convert from arc to zip and that really sped up the conversion - and the zip compression made significant differences in the transfer time so it was worth the effort to convert just for that reason. Some BBS software (or doors) would convert uploads from arc, sea, zoo etc to zip on upload. Between the two the move away from arc happened more or less overnight.

One if the failings of zopfli (IMO) is that there isn’t a utility to walk a directory and find embedded deflate streams and decompress them and there isn’t any indication that zopfli has touched a file so it is a brute force search to try and recon press a file. I’m also surprised that deflate with 64k windows never caught on even though zip has supported it for years and it’s a really easy extension to the existing format that just uses a reserved bit.
The only time I ordered from it I tried (and did pretty well) to fill the box with the cheapest most dense things I could find.

Yeah, right up until you're talked into electing a dictator.

It's just as well that's never happened!
You forgot the second sentence for context: How can they if the law clearly states they cannot be prosecuted?

It is if the law is not defined. You can't be in violation of a non-existent law. As the maxim goes, innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
This is not an exaggeration. Nowadays basically anything you buy that uses electricity also has chips included for various purposes. Those chips of course run proprietary software.

OK, but withdrawing requires a process on the part of the child, what I'm referring to is even without a process of withdrawing consent. Since the child has never consented to begin with, shouldn't it automatically be illegal to continue?

Additionally, the child will usually not know every site their parent has consented to tracking use.
> Just imagine having nobody in your life. Not anybody to call. Nobody.

It is hard for me to imagine this. I'm currently following a guy on Twitter who's released from prison recently. While in prison he got an arts scholarship, was a prolific writer and published a _lot_ of magazine and academic articles. He mixes a truly entertaining Twitter feed with naked calls for money, as he has nobody except his small Twitter following to turn to as he tries to rebuild his life. It's heart-breaking. https://twitter.com/PeterJMWayne11
let me step back 1 more time...

forget court cases, Parler - what its doing etc.

--
lets focus on tech perspective

take a tech CTO, who looks at AWS TOS. Do you find any terms that provide details on the moderation needed?
There can be any number of apps and business models -- so when his company gets such a notice, what can be done?

there was also the case of a baker who disagreed to serve gay people with their wedding cakes, and amazon TOS also has rules against discrimination. This case went to courts etc but lets say this guy has his site on AWS.
In a similar vein, AWS could also dump this guy right?

So far, one looked as AWS as infrastructure just like your electric, phone or gas company - going forward, there will be a re-think here.

Basically my point is that whatever is not in your control can be taken away from you. And in these days of SaaS and Cloud computing, pretty much most of it is not in your control.

This is a huge risk, and new business models will emerge to help mitigate this risk
Attachment disorders are a fairly controversial subject and many former foster youth and advocate groups believe that they are largely garbage diagnoses for kids who are understandably angry, distrustful and unwilling to for a relationship with strange new carers.
Among other things, actually diagnosing RAD requires that it show up before five years old, because it is in those few early years that a child develops their ability to attach to a caregiver.
As for experience in CPS care - 50% of kids return to their parents, and (not exactly the same) 50% are in care for a year or less. The average number of placements is maybe 2 - are you perhaps thinking of the average number among children who never leave care?

As for the idea that "even a single CPS placement" is worse than being left with violent parents - I've never seen anything supporting this but if you have some I'd love to read it.
> the attempts to overthrow elected officials

What attempts were there with respect to BLM to violently overthrow elected officials (because violently is the word here, zip ties, firearms, nooses and gallows)?

Setting fire to a police station, though unacceptable, vandalizing a mayor's residence, unacceptable is not remotely the same thing as "trying to overthrow elected officials".
"Survived" is just a very low bar. I'm not scared of the US becoming Mad Max - I'm scared of something like the Troubles, where democratic institutions still exist but struggle to maintain the peace against large, powerful groups who don't consider them legitimate.
> we realize that adults give COVID to kids but kids don't tend to give it to other kids or adults

This statement does not match available evidence. What can be accurately said is that children seldom have severe disease and often asymptomatic or have unremarkable symptoms, making the extent of Covid among children hard to measure (in general, asymptomatic people have their cases discovered and tracked at a dramatically lower rate than people with serious symptoms).

There was a nice Spiegel article summary a while ago https://www.spiegel.de/international/world/new-on-the-covid-...

There has been overall very poor data gathering (testing, contact tracing, symptom tracking, ...) among children in most parts of the world, and in particular in the USA. All other age groups are tested and tracked at much higher frequency.

Due to the combination of this lack of solid research plus extreme political/social pressure, many people have argued (some based more or less on wishful thinking / confirmation bias, others disingenuously) that kids are not a spread risk and should therefore be allowed to mingle.

In many places where this has been tried, it was followed by notable outbreaks in schools (which then spread to the broader community), leading to schools shutting back down. In analyses of the effects of various public health interventions, school closures had one of the largest effects on the reproductive number of the epidemic.
Point well taken about culture and great examples. I completely agree with your premise.

However, tone is an extremely important part of cross-cultural training, and the tone of this article takes its premise from: _you may have a conflict of interest with group B_ to something between _group B is out to get you_ and _group B is evil_. I personally wouldn't recommend it to anyone because of this.

> As a footnote, quotation marks suggest you're quoting someone. Your claimed quote doesn't exist in the source article. Your point would be stronger if you commented on what the author wrote than your (somewhat inaccurate) read-between-the-lines.

The original post has always had the exact paragraph that I derived my subtext from in it. Emphatic quotes are a bad habit of mine, so I removed those, but c'mon -- this is a pretty common grammar mistake and the sentence preceding it pretty clearly "implies" (emphatic quotes) that it's only my interpretation :)

> That's another place cultures differ a lot: how things are implied and subtexts. People misread subtexts, which I think you did here.

Can you please explain how you would otherwise interpret the exact paragraph that I quoted? I'm usually pretty good at seeing the other side, but I genuinely can't see this one. Maybe it's because I've been in management too long (or maybe I'm too Canadian). Either way, I'm genuinely curious.

I'll quote the paragraph again directly from the article for you:

> Expert gaslighters, they are. What really makes me wonder is how the people keep doing these jobs. Many of them are in the very classes that get abused by other people regularly. How can you honestly keep doing that job when you are just enabling the abusers?

The only other interpretation I can think of is the author was referring to the people in the previous example. However, she switches from singular ("person A" / "person B") tense in the example to plural ("gaslighters" / "abusers") tense in this paragraph, so it's either an uncharacteristic grammar mistake or a generalization applied to a broader group.

The generalization is that HR people are "gaslighters" and managers are "abusers".

With that in mind, how would you interpret this sentence? "What really makes me wonder is how the people keep doing these jobs."

I can only see: _how can these people live with themselves_. How is that subtext not correct here?

Computer communications predates the internet. We definitely knew about them. Nobody wanted to pay for them. Also, it was in everyone's best interest to informally standardize on a tool -- in those days, having to download an extraction tool in addition to the archive you wanted was a nontrivial cost (real monetary cost, not just opportunity cost of wasting more time).

Once SEA decided to start a legal fight, consensus was reached pretty quickly that nobody wanted to be the one jerk left using ARC. There were semi-organized grassroots campaigns to get laggards to switch.

The personal computer software world was less stringent about standards at the time, and the tool that worked well enough was always going to beat the tool that pleased the software engineers.
Are you surprised that they didn't do it initially?

Fucking stupid? It seems at this point to be quite likely deliberate. Multiple requests for aid were refused, or ignored. The security at the Capitol was half the size as it was when a group of army veterans marched for disabled vets rights a few years ago.

That's not fucking stupid, that's an entirely deliberate and reasoned choice.
In the Digital Economy, Your Software Is Your Competitive Advantage
Let this be a warning.
"Secure" is a relative term. ;-)

The location doesn't need to be "secure" in the military sense of the term. Mainly you want it "secure" in the sense that if you lose the one key, you won't have lost the other key at the same time.

In the end, the two keys are equivalent from a risk profile if they are compromised, and for most people, the one they carry with them is going to be the weak link in the chain, so additional security on the other key isn't really accomplishing much.

In truth, if your home isn't secured, there's enough holes in most people's online security that someone in your home could find a way to compromise much of your online security (and from there, most of the rest).

Just keeping the other key tucked away in a drawer has some risk, but is pretty decent for most people. Keeping it locked in a fireproof safe in their home along with other important documents/keys/bits is a better choice and not terribly inconvenient.

If you want to be more thorough, you can always have a third key that you keep locked away in a bank vault, and you do "wing it" with just two keys for a period of time on new accounts.

What you don't want to do is "wing it" with one key (though AWS seems to think that's the way to do things). That can lead to disaster. What you also don't want to do is only use it for a subset of your accounts, because in practice most people are terrible at risk compartmentalization, so invariably a compromise of some of your accounts quickly becomes a compromise in all of them.

In my experience #1 is the right way for most people to go. There are disaster scenarios where you lose both keys, but usually that's a disaster severe enough that recovering your online access is the least of your worries, and it does a great job of mitigating the much larger risk of mismanaging the security of accounts that aren't secured with the key.
Lots of highways and airports and bus lines lose money/exist only because of government support. Being profitable as a sole concern doesn't account for any of the benefits from transportation options existing.
I'll add that very few things, even those that are arbitrages in the theoretical sense, are truly risk-free.

The classic example being the arbitrage between on-the-run/off-the-run treasury spreads. Bonds in the current series ("on-the-run") tend to trade at a slight premium to equivalent bonds that were issued earlier ("off-the-run"). Theoretically this is a perfect arbitrage. Short sell the expensive bonds and use the cash to buy the cheap bonds. Sit back and collect the spread.

However, you have to understand why the OTR spread exists in the first place. Investors value the higher liquidity that comes with the current series. Consequently during liquidity crunches, the spread will blow out to multiple times higher losses. In these scenarios arbitrageurs face deep mark-to-market losses, margin calls and investors withdrawals. This very strategy was (one of) the "pure arbitrages" that blew up LTCM in 1998. The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

So, even what looks like a simple mechanical science in practice is an art requiring experience and judgement. You have to know the right leverage to use and at what times. You have to keep your finger on the pulse of the market and have a sense of when spreads are too tight or loose given macro conditions. You have to secure good funding relationships. You have to be smart about keeping powder dry so you can buy at cheap prices during dislocations. And so on.
I always overestimated because it was the only way that I could ever devote anytime at all to technical debt reduction.
I maintain that the original question was valid and it’s up to the product designer to determine whether the trade offs are worth it. I mentioned it because I am designing a farming robot where a very reliable Wifi device might be worth the cost and power consumption. I don’t know if this product is “very reliable” but lots of Wifi isn’t. I’m already considering that exact software defined radio for our robot so it could actually represent cost savings if it replaced the Wifi adapter.

Moreover I disliked the tone of the reply “why would you need to know the answer to your question, just do it and no one will notice.” It was a perfectly fine question to ask and I find it unreasonable to suggest it wasn’t worth asking without getting more information from the person asking it.

Adding to the existing response: Apple has a weird attitude toward software licensing, but it’s fairly predictable and has been since the early 00s. They care about:

- Is the first party experience uncompromised? (I.e. you must escape their protections explicitly to bypass them without scrutiny)

- Are you commercializing your unauthorized usage? (I.e. hackintosh okay, hackintosh for sale not okay)

They have a few other, less predictable, principles when it comes to lower profile software like WebKit, but if you account for those you’re very unlikely to cross their legal team. macOS is free (dollars), and not because they expect to make up the dollars of investment in hardware sales, but because they correctly realized selling an OS isn’t a profit generator anymore. Even Microsoft has realized that.

As long as no one is making money on this I seriously solve Apple will care one way or another.
At the time, the rationale given was that masks don't work.
The idea that people would go to Home Depot to buy up all the existing masks was a nonsense excuse later provided, since hospitals have their own supply mechanisms. Hoarding of toilet paper by the public did not cause a toilet paper shortage within hospitals.
I agree. The problem has to do with not recognizing the background of the image. That'd explain why ketchup and solo cup are pink -- the first 25 pictures all have white backgrounds.

I’m pretty sure the changes to the law that replaced mental health care and orphanages with homelessness and prison were written with those outcomes in mind. If not, it’s been 40 years, and the law would have been reverted by now.

Ignoring that, what other motivation do the people denying health care to the mentally ill supposedly have?

They throw the mentally ill in prison to avoid providing care, so any argument that it’s for the welfare of the mentally ill is a hard sell.

The people I’ve met working to help these people universally express dismay at the fact that the law sets them up for failure.

In my previous company, we needed to put project code into timesheet for every activity. Of course, requirement gathering is also an activity. However, before you get the budget, you don't have the project code. Also, you can't get the budget before you have the estimate. It means I needed to give an estimate before I know what system I am going to build.
The early and permanent intervention would be to somehow convince (or forbid?) parents who are likely to raise such a child from having a child, but this opens up a giant can of ethical worms e.g. eugenics.

Better education around sex and children, as well as easy access to birth control would go a long way.
Anyone who doesn't perceive the problem by now is likely a poor engineer.
