Agreed. GoFuzz has been a huge asset for me, but it occasionally suffers bugs due to the fact that it's hacking the runtime to some extent. IMHO that makes fuzzing an excellent candidate for inclusion in the standard toolchain.

Texas Grapples with Crushing Power Bills After Freeze
To be frank, the democrats have been directly calling for increasing amounts of censorship for years... In 2016-2018 it was slow at first: de-platforming people, refusing to let conservatives on media, etc.

Since, 2018-2020 has been almost a militant level of censorship being pushed.

There's a boatload of examples, but generally I recommend trying to join / visit different communities. While the right has been targeted to an extreme you can still see their points of view on gab.com or patriots.win pretty much uncensored.
It basically doesn’t matter if you get the other side to listen or not. Open and free discussion is out there for those who want to partake. There will always be zealots who choose not to.

Censoring opposition in order to be heard more loudly doesn’t work. In an IRL discussion, if you start talking over someone forcing them to stop talking, they’re going to shut down and never listen to anything you have to say.
Wow!! This is an amazing list.

It would be interesting if colleges offered a reduced or free tuition in exchange for future earnings. That might incentivize colleges to only offer certain degrees, help with job placements, keep the quality of learning high, etc.
You reveal yourself a little more starkly than you probably intend.
A heat pump in a −273 °C space will convert electricity to heat at a 1:1 ratio.

If you count the heat taken from the space around the condenser, which you should based on Google's definition, heat pumps are only 100% efficient.

Calling heat pumps >100% efficient is like calling my solar water heater >100% efficient. True if you only count the electrical input, and not other sources of energy.
Note that I wasn't saying that it wasn't _ever_ true — only the 99% hyperbole. It'd be awesome if the solution was that simple and most of the couples I know would love to have something which could be done with that level of difficulty, expense, and personal risk.

> Yes, there were then three additional fatalities in the _days_ following the event. None of those deaths were linked back to the Capital building in a meaningful way (including the officer).

Oh, you're going to have to try harder than that. Just because there was no indication that, specifically, "blunt force trauma was the immediate cause of death of [Officer Sicknick]" doesn't mean anything close to "None of those deaths were linked back to the Capital building in a meaningful way".

CPR being performed on him. A hemorrhagic stroke within hours, a ventilator (multiple pepper sprayings), and death within 24 hours. All factors that you say "eh, coincidence" to.

Possibly they could be interrelated, if say thiamine deficiency made insects more susceptible to pesticides or pesticides also increased thiamine deficiency. The link between pesticides and decreased biodiversity would still exist, but the root cause or chain of causes might be something happening at a lower level than simple direct poisoning. This paper is interesting in that respect "A 2018 Horizon Scan of Emerging Issues for Global Conservation and Biological Diversity":

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016953471...

Quoting:

Thiamine Deficiency as a Possible Driver of Wildlife Population Declines

Evidence is increasing that a range of taxonomic groups, including bivalve molluscs, ray-finned fish, and birds across the Northern Hemisphere, are deficient in thiamine (vitamin B1) 19, 20. Thiamine is required for basic cellular metabolism and functioning of neuronal membranes. Thiamine deficiency rarely is a direct cause of mortality, but impairs health and can cause immunosuppression or leads to behavioural and reproductive problems that ultimately could cause population decline or extirpation. Days of thiamine deficiency may present long-lasting sublethal effects, which makes recognition of the extent of thiamine deficiencies more complex. The deficiencies likely are caused by insufficient dietary intake, which may be related to shifts in thiamine-producing algal populations. A recent and extensive survey along the northwest coast of the US found evidence of thiamine depletion in the water column [21]. Additionally, exposure to environmental pollutants may interfere with thiamine uptake. The extent to which thiamine deficiency may pose a substantial long-term risk to a range of species remains unclear.

End quote.

So thiamine deficiency may also be partially induced by environmental pollutants which possibly includes insecticides (though the paper gives no citations for which pollutants). The scale of the known thiamine problems, at least in water systems, are scary, as is the fact that we don't really know what the extent of it is, especially on land. My experience in research, software, and life is that there are usually multiple simultaneous problems behind observable issues.

Actually, I'll argue that college educations can pay off in a third way. It's not just brand-name prestige and useful skills. There's a lot to be said for the way that four years of residential education imbues grads with a valuable lifetime network of allies.

The third reason explains why small, residential liberal arts schools carry on semi-successfully for decades (centuries!?) even though they aren't exactly towering champions on the first two metrics.

It's easy to mock the English major from Knox College in downstate Illinois or the psychology major from Prairie View in Texas. But I'll argue that in the Before Times, these schools and their graduates did a lot to hold the social fabric of the United States together. Liberal arts grads do quite nicely in sales, administration, community law practices and more. They've got people skills that some high-earning Stanford grads lack. They take care of one another and provide a strong baseline economy that creates customers for us all.

What's changed is that with the pandemic, we've lost the residential-college benefits of meeting those freshman hallmates turned allies for life. In that case, paying big $$ for what's really just an online education without a valuable network stops having much appeal.

I figure it takes 3-4 weeks for a typical newbie developer to learn git in depth. That's too much compared to the benefits. Git is way too complex and the CLI is badly designed, especially for a solo developer.

The crux with git is that you really do have to learn it in depth, if you want to be self-sufficent in the end.

Ethics and morals don't exist. Full stop.

Codifying ethics perpetuates falsehood. Every single generation in history believed that the "had it" only to be denigrated as hopelessly misguided by the next generation. We are making the same mistake, only less people are killed right now, so it looks like we are more successful. Remember the Pacifism of the inter-war years? it bred fascism. The pendulum swings.

AI ethics cannot hope to remain in style for long, while they will almost certainly exist for far too long. Accepted standards of 2 years ago, are already out of date.

I'm lost for a solution.

I do think that the less AI is claimed to be ethical, the less it will be trusted, which is the best cure i can think of. Honesty is the basis of the whole of scientific inquiry, and is probably scarcer in google's ethics research department than anywhere else in the building.

The OIDC front channel signout functionality relies on third party cookies to work properly. This feature has the IDP basically loading your app's end session page in a hidden iframe.

Similarly the OpenID Connect Session Management feature (check_session_iframe) also depends on the ability to use third party cookies.

This functionality is needed to be able to detect if user logged out from front-end code without relying on having any back end code that could receive either a front-channel or back-channel signout notification and send it back.

In the absence of that a pure SPA with no backend could only detect the logout if access tokens are stateful, and they get an error message back that the token refers to an ended session.

Some people get really cranky if a single sign out feature does not actually sign you out of everything.

I agree about XML, but I don't think JSON is a reinvention of S-expression. JSON is great if you are representing a lot of (string) key/value data since it has a canonical way of representing string keyed dictionaries. I guess you can represent these as a list of pairs, but that obviously is ambiguous to a a list of pairs... JSON doesn't have this problem since if you see {"name": ...} you know that you are reading an object which has a 1-1 mapping to a dictionary with string keys.

While this seems like an innocent change, it simplifies serialization a lot. A generic S-expression deserializier can't make nearly as many assumptions as a JSON deserializer can.

S-expressions have first class support for primitives (i.e. strings, numbers, etc.) and lists but nothing else. On the other hand, JSON has first class support for the same plus string keyed dictionaries. It is no coincidence that most other generic serialization formats have included at least support for string dictionaries if not other key types as well.
My experience hasn't been so rough, but I agree overall. Discussions are REALLY hit or miss. I've commented a fair amount there, and some of the conversations are pretty great. It's like a 33%-33%-33%. You get a good conversation, a terrible one, or nobody notices.

I agree about reddit's value being elusive. AFAIK this is because it arguably isn't so valuable. They don't seem to monetize excessively. It's not like Facebook that really feels like an advertising and data shilling firm. There's just a jpeg on the side panel. I imagine they sell some data, maybe even pay to win? (or they will soon)

Reddit is very valuable in that it essentially controls society and "influences" people's behavior. It remains to be seen how much of that can be turned into money, and how it'll effect the site. I wouldn't be shocked to see another exodus, sale, and rebranding as a new media company, like Digg in the next 5-10 years... I wouldn't predict it, but I wouldn't be surprised either.

This is a good point. I was assuming that computing a protein fold was something that could be done relatively quickly, but it seems like these simulations are actually much more computationally intensive than that.

This is obviously not my area of expertise, but I wonder if there is any way to make more efficient but still useful computational questions about protein folding. For example, if we try to fold just part of a protein (only 100 or so amino acids, say) and do it at a much lower fidelity of simulation, is the result still helpful?

Right, Ivies may only have 0.5% of students, but 30% of all US Presidents had a degree from one. Of the past six, only one hasn't had an Ivy League degree.

Of nine Supreme Court justices, only one didn't go to Harvard or Yale.

They are only a tiny portion of students, but they have a huge impact on who holds power in society.

I don't really know of any great sociologists though.

I kind of feel it may be a made up field to promote forms of Marxism and not something that actually contributes much to the body of human knowledge. Nothing entirely wrong with that either if it's something a person is into, it's just, well, we might actually be better off with less sociology students. The half baked and non realistic ideas that come out of that cause problems in the real world.

The reason I feel this is not from outside observation but because I spent a bunch of time in sociology classes many years ago. 4 as I recall. I wish I'd spent the time in extra math classes and I believe the world would be better off if people did.

> If you want skills go to a trade school

Those really only exist for certain jobs, like plumbers, carpenters, electricians and machinists. I'm not knocking any of those positions - my parents and grandparents are/were machinists - but if you want to be an engineer or scientist, a college degree is required unless you want your resume to go straight to the shredder, or you're taking advantage of having friends and/or family in high positions (i.e. nepotism).

The fact that useful skills are usually only acquired during employment/internship is true. It doesn't change the fact that most can't get employment in the first place without a degree, and internships don't pay the bills.

In addition, since the civil war, colleges in the US have generally been far more focused on utilitarian skills, rather than the humanities. Sure, there were plenty of art colleges still, but there were far more agricultural schools.
Similar effects have been seen with Multiple Sclerosis. People of the same genetic background who move to Western countries are more likely to develop MS than those who stay behind. I can’t remember the specific countries unfortunately.

>There is a difference between criticism of this government and agitprop designed to undermine the system of government. The 1A is designed to prevent the former, and this letter seems pretty clearly designed to fish for that latter.

I mostly agree on the merits, but arguing this point is difficult because regardless of what the 1A was designed to do, at this point its legal interpretation has become broad enough that it's hard to imagine the government having a legitimate role in regulating speech here. The framers don't seem to have foreseen a crisis like we face.

>I think it's a bad letter because Congress is trying to abrogate their responsibilities and act like this is AT&T's problem, when it isn't. They need to break up the monopolies and give people the tools to hold these businesses accountable, as you said.

Yes, the effect that the cable companies have on the television market makes it very difficult for individuals to take effective action against these organizations. I think Congress should be investigating antitrust action against the cable companies, but these don't seem to be bad questions to asking them while they still make up a monopoly.
Came here to say this. The Libsodium dependency suggests they're using bog standard cryptography that should be easy to implement in a gazillion contexts (which is great). But we do need a spec so independent implementations can arise.

Great comments - people that manage people that don't give a shit are our target market. But point taken.

> How do you get the other side to listen?

Pretend you think like them, and make arguments that go against that thinking. Unfortunately, the way the media exists today this never happens, and both sides just attack strawmen in ways that get people to click their headlines and listen to their talking heads.

I think it's disingenuous to paint the entire "other side" as unreasonable, but I may be misinterpreting what you mean by "other side" here. There will always be unreasonable people, and I don't have a solution for them. However, I think _a lot_ of people are very tired of being demonized for disagreeing. Not every republican is a rabid tea partier, and not every democrat supports antifa.

The purpose isn’t to get “the other side to listen.” Its to get moderate to listen, and to make sure the other side feels heard. That procedural aspect of free speech is at least as important, if not more so, than the truth-finding aspect of free speech.
I'm not saying it's the only cause, just that it's one of them. They're not exactly going to blast human testicles with radiation. These sort of animal tests and surveys (couple with clinical evaluation) are standard practice for many medical research topics.

Where do you see the radiation level being 1000x? I see various studies using real cell phones on the market for between 2 and 6 hours per day.
Applying the wrong grease is also a big problem. At one facility I worked at, we had about 15-20 difference greases for different equipment in our facility. We did a lot of training on the topic of grease selection and importance of not screwing this up... yet some techs still got it wrong from time to time. With some grease combos, you do not have long to catch the mistake before bearing damage, or even failure, occurs.

This is a good idea. So your system verifies that the right grease gun, with correct grease, is used on the correct port?
