I'll admit the parent was caricaturizing these two figures. As far as whether two well-known people might be 'wrong', I say it's worth starting to find the journalists and academics who try really hard to not have a bias and tried to understand things over the years. Hold space for the perspective of the reasoned skeptics/short-sellers but also understand their own character flaws.

"Three main features characterize desirable streets: access to parks, nearby shops & businesses, and sidewalks & street furniture".

Really. I never would have guessed. Especially that last one. Really? People prefer to walk down a street with a path explicitly designed for humans instead of one that's designed entirely for cars?

There are a gazillion ways to make a living (or not), driving a truck.

Yep, some drivers are independent and own one or more trucks. Some "independent" drivers are more closely associated with a large employer, leasing their truck from that company. Some of those lease more than one truck.

No, it isn't. The definition of free will that I am using is common in the literature on free will and cognitive science, i.e., among people who have actually worked on understanding how human brains work based on exactly the same physicalist principles that you say you believe. I also have disagreed several times with your claims about what "anyone coming along and reading this conversation" would understand.

all they need to do is be in the approximate region of the cell signal through triangulation to figure out the phone numbers / unique identifiers attached to the phone.

then its a matter of time before they link real identity to the phone. With the wide availability of femtocells, all they need to do is get lucky once.

I will add they did this experiment partially in response to an academic study that found viewing happier posts on Facebook made people sadder (explained mostly by FOMO).

FB was trying to refute that, and their study was more technically rigorous, but the outcome they were measuring doesn't actually refute the original claim at all IMO. People writing more happy posts on FB does not indicate they are actually happier, it could also be that they wish to broadcast more of their happy moments, or perhaps even just pretend to be happier, in response to the attitude of their feed.
Nice to see some active learning around here. To add a data point from a less successful story:

In one of our research projects, we used AL to improve part-of-speech prediction, inspired by work by Rehbein and Ruppenhofer, e.g. https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/P17-1107/

Our data base was a corpus of Scientific English from 17th-now and for our data and situation, we found that choosing the right tool/model and having the right training data were the most important things. Once that was in place, active learning did not, unfortunately, add that much. For different tools/settings, we got about +/-0.2% in accuracy for checking 200k tokens and only correcting 400 of them.

Maybe one problem was that AL was only triggered when a majority vote was inconclusive. Also, we used it on top of individualised, gs training data. I guess things can look different if you don't have a gs to start with. And if you have better computational resources: Our oracles spent quite some time waiting, which is why we even reorganised the original design to then process batches of corrections.

As so often, those null results were hard to publish :|

Either way, I thought I'd share our experiences. Your work sounds really cool, best of luck!

I think it should help in a way. But I also believe that people overestimate how well one can learn in depth about a complex problem from reading or any mainly passive activity alone.

I know there is this theory about learning styles but it's largely debunked.

To get a really solid understanding of a topic such as a business domain and it's interaction with a complex process and application, it takes a certain amount of time and contact with real problems. The only time that people can quickly pick up new ideas from reading is when they have mastered all of the underlying concepts of that knowledge. But applications generally have layers of very specific knowledge required to understand the problem and existing solution.

The point of the article I think is that it's usually going to take a significant amount of time for new developers to become familiar, regardless of how good the source or documentation is.

Good point! I wonder why they didn't reverse the scheme, e.g. https://mydomain.example.org/#is-a-signal-proxy
Agreed. Feels bloated.
The claim that using bitcoins will prevent deplatforming doesn’t really make sense. If I’m reading the argument correctly, the author wants to avoid financial sanctions (eg in times of war) and his claim is that a crypto currency could prevent that. That seems... incorrect. Cryptocurrencys in fact have all transactions publicly accessible and it would make it easier for eg the US to trace who is breaking such sanctions.
If India (or any government) decided to adopt a digital currency, why would they back it with something that is so substantially owned by outsiders.
> you would be wrong then

I disagree. And I see no point in continuing to argue about it. We simply do not agree on how "most people define free will".

> it fails to hold up to intense rigor and scrutiny.

You are apparently ignorant of the extensive literature on free will and cognitive science in which the view I am defending does hold up to intense rigor and scrutiny.

This may be true. It wouldn't surprise me if Parler said "no" when asked to take them down, but I didn't see that even in Amazon's court filing.

However, I don't think Amazon should interfere in customers' businesses and harm the relationship between customers and third parties (the users). What if Amazon had said, "Netflix, we find the Cuties movie offensive. We have shut you off and will delete all of your data within 24 hours."
Short squeezes happen organically all the time. Its not that short squeeze = manipulation, its that WSB induced a short squeeze as a coordinated effort.

A forum with 2 million members advertised and coordinated a massive purchase of shares. Gamestop's market cap was less than $900m at the time. Gamestop was shorted at %140 of its float. There were daily posts describing how the forum has enough collective capital to hold a significant portion of the company.

None of that happened with Tesla. There isn't a community of millions all planning to buy Telsa at the same time for a 2 week period. Its not being championed as a noble cause for retail investors.

How are you okay with this happening? The people who actually get hurt are gullible uneducated poor people that were promised a way to get rich quick and stick it to the global elite. Do you feel no sympathy for the victims of this scheme or any other MLM/ponzi "greater fool" bullshit?

> Something that was pirated does NOT equal a lost sale.

This is a common argument, but I think it's more complicated than a blanket yes or no.

If I sell 1000 copies of a novel (or a CD or a movie or whatever), then strictly speaking, my revenue isn't affected by how many pirated copies exist. I get paid for 1000 copies whether there are zero pirated copies or a million.

However, that doesn't mean pirated copies aren't lost revenue in a real sense; it just means it's effectively impossible to measure that lost revenue. Some of those people would never have paid for their copy at all; some might not have even been able to find it legally. Some, though, undoubtedly did have the money and did enjoy the work, they just decided it was cheaper not to pay for it. If enough people take that route, it does affect my revenue, in that I am making less than I would if those people were paying.

And it's easy to talk ourselves into believing that's always okay, with what you called self-serving rhetoric: "really, this just hurts big companies, not little ones or individual creators"; "oh, there are enough other people paying for it, we can afford it"; "I enjoy this, just not enough to pay for it." When we're talking specifically about Charlie Chaplin, that latter seems like a pretty easy call, since the vast majority of his filmography is over 70 years old and much of it is in the public domain. If, however, we say "I might enjoy Robert Downey Jr. films, but I would never pay for the ability to watch them," this may not seem so cut and tried.

I wish we had a better term than "intellectual property", because I genuinely think "property" makes people focus on physical representation as the thing they are paying for: shoplifting a DVD and pirating a movie are obviously different, and many people who've done the latter would never think of doing the former. But in both cases, what you're really interested in, what you're actually paying for, is the content.

I get that there's lots of gray areas: the content may not be available legally in your area; it may not legally be available at all; you may already own the movie on Blu-Ray and find it easier to download a torrent of it to make a good digital copy than to go through the hassle of ripping it. But any argument which, at the end of the day, reduces to "I wanna have this content, I just don't wanna pay for it" is, well... pretty weak.
I've responded to these invalid claims elsewhere. We simply disagree on these points, and I see no point in continuing to argue about them.

Do share holders donate or do they expect returns?
Someone replied with

> If you beat up someone for being "not of your community", you're scum.

but deleted it before I was able to reply. While I'm on this topic I would like to point out how this perpetuates the same issues by replying to it directly:

"Scum" is an interesting word choice. (Yes, that use of 'interesting' is a very loaded one.) But OP didn't say anything about "beating up," just "aggression." And they also didn't claim it's solely because they're "not of the community." There is a lot of obscured context here, but the invariant to notice is that folks who are generally antagonistic against those they perceive as lower classes will use this kind of reductive, dehumanizing language to describe their interactions.
What does "declaring it upfront" look like, what are you asking for? Like, a copy of their budget before donating? I think you can probably get that?
Sorry, we disagree. And I see no point in continuing to argue about it.
> The g-parent comment asserts that "China must be stopped" and I started thinking about what aspect(s) of China do they want to stop. Certainly they don't want to end the country and its inhabitants. Maybe they want to stop some behaviors that cause harm in the world? What behaviors would those be? The comment uses the past tense "stopped" instead of "stop" so the implication is that some not-China entity performs the stopping.

> So what behavior to stop and what entity to do the stopping?

Honestly, it sounds like you're playing ignorant here. Those aren't hard questions to answer, though the post you're commenting on likely had some government/nation confusion. I suggest you spend some quality time with Wikipedia and a good newspaper.

> Are the actions necessary to stop the behavior proportionate and are they likely effective? To predict this, I look to the track record of previous attempts to "stop" nations and it isn't pretty. My comment came from thinking about what has happened in the US over the course of this century as it has embarked on ever newer crusades to stop this or that.

The US had at least couple of successes in the last century. Anyway, your thrust seems to be towards fatalism, which is perspective that should be rejected out of hand.

It's suspected that the CCP bought Dominion/Smartmatic the summer before the 2020 election for $400 million. That would make these lawsuits "lawfare", a CCP non-kinetic warfare strategy. The various holding companies all deleted the names of Chinese directors when the ownership started to be investigated shortly after that.

(The State of Texas dropped Dominion after the ownership was unclear, but 29 states kept using it.)

You'll notice the NY Times article uses the leftist keyword narrative word "debunked" about ownership questions, without, you know, naming the owners. (The other keyword narrative words and phrases you see used in a coordinated fashion across news channels are "insurrection" and "no widespread voter fraud.")

The CCP also used a front organization in the US in some of the recent banned app defense lawsuits.
No other package manager I've used automatically performs destructive actions on a package installation without asking me, homebrew does. But aside from that, homebrew used to be much nicer, it had options on formulae, it worked with the system ruby instead of installing its own periodically, it allowed patches that improved system integration even if they made the resulting binary less command line focused (for example emacs has macOS specific patches locked behind building the gui app).

And yeah, it's the homebrew maintainer's project, but when you're in a position to help people or make their life worse, it's immoral to do the latter.

Having a crumple zone turn to mush in a 10mph parking lot mishap does pretty much nothing to make your car more survivable in a crash that might hurt you.

There's no real reason slow speed crashes have to be as damaging as they are. It's just a result of what our tests our and natural optimization toward them. If the NHTSA reintroduced a "is the vehicle drive-able after a minor hit" type crash things would get a lot better very quickly.

It is indeed. Iran does not shy away from blocking large swaths of the internet in order to make sure the parts they want blocked will remain blocked. For example, before 2009, there were specific blogs on wordpress.com which were blocked and making sure the content the government wanted inaccessible would remain inaccessible had turned into a whack-a-mole game. In 2009, they simply blocked the entirety of Wordpress, Facebook, YouTube, etc. and made their jobs much easier.

Iran would not hesitate to block all AWS IP addresses as a solution (I don't know if that is how they block Telegram now). GCP resources would not load in Iran anyway because Google has a very strict (much more strict than AWS and Azure) interpretation of the sanctions, so they don't have to worry about them.
Well, you can't reason with unreasonable people :) That's the actual problem. Also, I strongly disagree with your view that a lot of them are reading scientific articles. The root problem is lack of science education/curiosity which needs to be addressed specifically, rather than forcing the rest of the world to adopt certain phrasing.

Personally I like the romanticism/poetic style, it makes articles seem less bland, which makes me want to read them even more.
