I understand this point, yet to correctly assess whether a typical paper in my field - for instance - can be trusted you would need a modern neural networks researcher, a statistician, a cognitive scientist, a neuroscientist and perhaps a physicist. All would have to know about common fallacies in their respective fields and should optimally discuss with another.

Faculty reviewers are not only overworked, they have accumulated biases, can be overconfident about their expertise and in the worst case have malicious incentive to prohibit publication of your results.

I’m certain that a team of specialists who review as their full time job would do a better job than at least half of the reviewers I encountered (especially those at high-profile AI conferences).

I enjoy reviewing too and am doing my best to be constructive, but I’m not sufficiently qualified for most of the offers I receive.

For turnaround time, I would probably say yes. Right now it's typically to have several months to review a journal paper. And there's really not much a journal can do if a reviewer is late other than not ask them to review again. Even if reviewers were paid, I suspect it would be difficult from a budgetary perspective to difficult to have serial reviewing be lucrative with the possible exception of adjunct faculty who unfortunately are typically very underpaid.

>As we had to log out all users from matrix.org, if you do not have backups of your encryption keys you will not be able to read your encrypted conversation history. However, if you use server-side encryption key backup (the default in Riot these days) or take manual key backups, you’ll be okay.

I'm not defending them, in fact I prefer XMPP+OMEMO (or I would if I had someone people to talk to). But it seems like the default is key backup which means a significant number of users do have access to their old messages once they restore their key.

>Every single person that gives them his or her data to host is a toddler having a tantrum.

I mean, if you're criticizing a central server in a decentralized platform, agreed, I don't like the heavy influence a single "default" server will have, which is why I self host for myself and any friends/family who want to use it.

Keep in mind that this was a bad hack and IMO they made the right decision to revoke keys (alternative is possible leak of every message, ever sent on their platform) but I don't like that it came to that. Do you think they should not have revoked keys, and if so why? If you're criticizing about the hack in general, though, 100% agreed.
And just to confirm the forces in play here: enterprises care primarily about business outcomes of software, license cost, and support risk, with end-user experience being very far down the priority list except for a very few productivity applications where UI responsiveness actually matters for increasing employee output (fewer than you’d think). In short, the users aren’t the customers.

I don't do a lot of "serious stuff" on my phone, so whenever I need to input a password there I just display the password on my computer and enter in there, if I regularly needed to access my passwords however my current solution would be unusable.

As for my workflow I don't have any auto-fill on my browser, I just use "pass -c my-password-entry" to put it in the clipboard and paste it from there. It's arguably less secure than having it autofilled I suppose, but it hasn't been an issue so far (and pass clears the clipboard after 45 seconds to mitigate the risk).

Then I have a bunch of scripts for starting my VPN connections, my email client etc...

I should add that my pass's GPG key is stored on a yubikey and I need to physically press the button to decrypt, so that adds a pretty good layer of protection.

So yeah, I realize that my use case is incredibly niche, but I do think that being able to use your password manager in scripts could be useful in some cases even for people who are less enamored with the terminal than I am.

Beware the difference between being nice and being genuinely kind. The latter requires the courage to be willing to upset somebody and lose a lucrative contract.
This is insightful, thanks, but there's a little problem here:

The cost is borne one way or the other, the $500 is a matter of comp, not cost.

If someone is going to review your work, that's an act of very material labour. That they are not really compensated for it, at all, is inconsistent with the basic premise of labour and comp.

You would not be a researcher if you weren't comped in some way, so the absence and/or misalignment of comp is the issue.

It's not free to publish and have 2 reviewers (!!) there is a very material cost that you're just not paying.

Allocating at $1K cost for publication more accurately reflects the labour involved in checking it out (at least a little bit).

It'd seem to me a lot of folks might want to take up the $500/review as a job to earn some reasonable income, they might even get good at it.

It's entirely plausible that one of the 'dysfunctions' of science is 'not enough review' and it's simply because there is no incentive structure for it at all.

We pay people for literally every other function in life. Doctors are paid to 'save lives' even though there is a moral obligation. The notion that we don't pay people for academic work seems odd.

Perhaps journals could identify the papers with the most promise and offer payment for review, or something like that.

If that programmer doesn't work for your company and you want them to do it in a timely manner, then yes, I think it's reasonable to do so. For open access publications, you could argue that reviewing is similar to working on an open source project, but open access is still the exception, not the norm.
I agree with you.

For me, I can handle the lack of static typing when I'm doing small scripts, like if it's going to be 100 lines or so of Python (my go-to language if I need to test some math out in a sandbox or do some file manipulation on my system). I might actually be a little faster in writing those scripts because of the lack of typing.

Once it starts getting any bigger than that, though, static typing really catches and points out a lot of problems before I even launch the program, that I'd otherwise be spending time debugging and looking for anyway, most likely.

I also think static typing has the benefit of enforced self-documentation a bit, so other developers know just by checking the type what sort of data they should expect to see in there, and not trying to give it garbage to begin with. Granted good variable naming and proper documentation would alleviate that, but that's never been fully consistent at any organization I've ever worked for.

And considering I mostly work with relational SQL databases, there's no escaping typing on the database end for that, so I might as well have models that map to the typing of what's in the database so I don't have to keep checking the database tables to make sure I'm giving it good data.
I suspect this is it - you can't "see" where the shadow is but satellites go in all sorts of directions - and your eyes see a light moving and then another moving another direction and assume they're the same thing.
First of all, having the vote was an unnecessary and idiotic political blunder. However, it did highlight not everyone agree on everything EU. There are other models that are successful too.

The reaction to the vote however, has been borderline sabotage and very nasty characterizations. This is a symptom of EU being an "all or nothing" entity, of high prestige and privilege. The result being an unmitigated mess on all levels, but do represent legitimate concerns over how EU is run vs local level.

There are many good decisions in EU too addressing broader concerns. So it's a highly complex issue which is hard to solve by a simple vote and by political processes. Yet, that's how they did it this time.

There has been another hacking event targetting sequoia which has been deliberately kept secret. This data breach happened at a leading Indian law firm which is ironically abbreviated NDA (Nishith Desai Associates) and which Sequoia has used for structuring its funds, esp the Indian ones. This data breach was facilated by disgruntled employees of NDA and the leaked data has also made it to the law enforcement agencies. The leaked documents contain information about the super secret shell entities of Sequoia and other VC funds in tax haven jurisdictions such as Cayman Islands and Mauritius.

The government has the ability to issue national security letters using its expansive surveillance power granted under section 215 of the patriot act. These also have very restrictive gag orders against disclosure. Rank and file employees would be unaware of these searches. If a big tech company went full nuclear with their lawyers it's possible that they could have gotten the whole patriot act ruled unconstitutional. But they didn't. They all cooperated. PRISM took this one step further and was a project where google (and everyone else) gave the government direct searchable access to their databases.

There is no reason to think this isn't still going on.

I think a large part of the support for Typescript comes from being able to create good tools for the language.

But, I still have an aversion to front-end development itself, because it just feels too _involved_. You have to set up so much, and it has become a lot more difficult since you need to install webpack, postcss, and many other plugins just to do a hello world app.

It's still bearable if you have to do all of that, and you _understand_ what is going on, but most of the time, especially when it comes to front-end, I do things "because that's how it's done".

This makes me feel very insecure about my code.

This depends on the field. I have never paid to publish and I doubt I ever would. (This does not count however the conference expenses typically required of an author to present their paper. But attending a conference has significant benefit to me personally, so I don't really see it as a direct cost of publication.)

Naming is incredibly hard, though. And refactoring is hard.

It's a pain in the neck when something starts out as bla_list or whatever and you discover that after half a decade of changes bla_list isn't actually a list anymore, it's a dictionary, and that it doesn't only hold Bla these days, it can also contain Foo or Bar. This type of stuff is immediately obvious with modern static typing.

"The specific political distinction to which political actions and
motives can be reduced is that between friend and enemy. This provides a definition in the sense of a criterion and not as an exhaustive definition or one indicative of substantial content. Insofar as it is not derived from other criteria, the antithesis of friend and enemy corresponds to the relatively independent criteria of other antitheses: good and evil in the moral sphere, beautiful and ugly in the aesthetic sphere, and so on. In any event it is independent, not in the sense of a distinct new domain, but in that it can neither be based on anyone antithesis or any combination of other antitheses, nor can it be traced to these. If the antithesis of good and evil is not simply identical with that of beautiful and ugly, profitable and unprofitable, and cannot be directly reduced to the others, then the antithesis of friend and enemy must even less be confused with or mistaken for the others. The distinction of friend and enemy denotes the utmost degree of intensity of a union or separation, of an association or dissociation. It can exist theoretically and practically, without having simultaneously to draw upon all those moral, aesthetic, economic, or other distinctions. The political enemy need not be morally evil or aesthetically ugly; he need not appear as an economic competitor, and it may even be advantageous to engage with him in business transactions. But he is, nevertheless, the other, the stranger; and it is sufficient for his nature that he is, in a specially intense way, existentially something different and alien, so that in the extreme case conflicts with him are possible. These can neither be decided by a previously determined general norm nor by the judgment of a disinterested and therefore neutral third party.

Only the actual participants can correctly recognize, understand, and judge the concrete situation and settle the extreme case of conflict. Each participant is in a position to judge whether the adversary intends to negate his opponent's way of life and therefore must be repulsed or fought in order to preserve one's own form of existence. Emotionally the enemy is easily treated as being evil and ugly, because every distinction, most of all the political, as the strongest and most intense of the distinctions and categorizations, draws upon other distinctions for support. This does not alter the autonomy of such distinctions. Consequently, the reverse is also true: the morally evil, aesthetically ugly or economically damaging need not necessarily be the enemy; the morally good, aesthetically beautiful, and economically profitable need not necessarily become the friend in the specifically political sense of the word. Thereby the inherently objective nature and autonomy of the political becomes evident by virtue of its being able to treat, distinguish, and comprehend the friend-enemy antithesis independently of other antitheses."

I don't think the US government bears any resemblance to authoritarian nations who lock up journalists left and right. The truth is the federal government isn't very strong at all; it's the citizenry who do the heavy lifting, whether that means reporting, growing businesses, or defending our security. We would be much less effective without the willful actions of people every day who believe in what this country is or can be.

The fact that HTC had a working touch shell, and basic suite of touch only apps for WinMo few years prior to Apple stands there.

I will also argue that Apple verbatim copied some of their UI ideas.
They should invest in a mechanism to allow you to train the heuristics in advance. If the heuristic knows that location A is a location you normally login from and location B is not but you could tell it in advance "I'm going to travel to location B on date X for duration Y" it would have the extra necessary information to know that this activity is normal and not suspicious.
Stuff trends on Twitter without it appearing in my timeline all the time though, so it is quite true you can use Twitter and never deal with left wing politics even if the rest of Twitter is ranting about bean dad or whatever that was.

Almost all scientific journals in my fields currently charge authors to publish, but don't pay reviewers. (Earth Science, Planetary Science, Robotics)

It is one possible way to make flight safer, but most likely not the only one. The same traditional aerospace approach also created the 737 MAX and the CST-100.
