People think the country with the highest standards of living is a wholly charitable entity.
Ask the first generation Italians. Or Turkish. Or Sri Lankans. Albanians. Former Yugoslavs.
Some 50% of German immigrants , notabene with the same education and language(minus the dialect) leave this alleged paradise within 1 year.

Same language, same education. Now add a different skin color to that and lack of speaking the language to that, then you might be able to grasp how these people felt there.

Of course there are some die hard open minded people there, not enough, though.

Sounds like I have nothing good to say about Switzerland? There are good aspects, I just blow a head gasket every time a person who has not lived there from early on and dealt with the institutions or does not have relatives there thinks it is a nation of innocence , milk(this is true, though) and honey.
People are less likely to be beat up by a racist mob, that is not how it is done in Switzerland. The Swiss are silent sufferers and more sophisticated than that.

I simply think that classist amd racists are the blindest people walking earth.

Plenty of those in Switzerland.
Ps even that direct democracy is a crock of manure.

A wise man once told me, the Nazis the communists amd other such opportunists ....in Switzerland they will have a smile and wear a suit.

I'm about 1600 lichess, and this was a pretty easy conversion for me. It started by moving the a and h pawns in response to 1e4, which let me get center control and some advantageous pawn pickups.

Second game I got threefold while down a rook in a completely lost position (which I'll blame in part on the graphics, but was mostly me blundering).
I still have some Richochet modems. They were nice because you could use them as point-to-point radio modems after the Ricochet network became defunct. But with so many options for low cost and more compact radios in a such a huge plethora of spectrum options they're totally defunct now.
Growing up in the USSR I always been fascinated by how only a few of soviet writers/comedians/directors were allowed some level of freedom while the rest had to stay true to the party propaganda lines. Obviously, these few were most appreciated.
I share the scepticism about the ability of startups to disrupt away the network effects that underlie these quasi-monopolies, but it does seem to me as though decentralisation is the logical and desirable end-point.

How and when that point could be reached though, I couldn't say.

It's unfortunate that WebRTC's use of SCTP doesn't require the multihoming features of SCTP. We had a great chance to sneak that into ubiquitous use, but that ship has sailed at this point. : \

That's much more than I would have thought. Thanks for this contribution.
Firefly III [0] solves this by making the user responsible for this. They expect you give it the necessary details (api keys etc) for Spectre, which it then uses to download transactions. Could you not do something similar? Write a small guide for users on where to register and what to do, and give them config options to put in the necessary API Keys, and then use that to download the transactional data?

This laser is 200 times too powerful to be considered "mostly safe" for human ayes (cat 3R) and 1000 times too powerful to be considered safe (cat 2).

I toyed with the idea but it's hazardous in any usable setup.

If you'd like to do it moderately safe I'd stay away from lasers. Use a power LED and parabolic reflector to make the beam as incoherent as possible and then focus it with optics to create very narrow focal depth. Then it will still be able to burn the mosquito but won't be a blinding hazard as little as 20 centimetres from the focal point.

Were there sanctions against the Venezuelan government by the US? Absolutely yes.

But a big part of their problems are self-inflicted. When they nationalized several foreign-owned industries (beyond oil), that severely reduced confidence in doing business in the country. Most of the industries taken over were "western" (US, French, British), but they also took over steel mills owned by Argentinians, and homes owned by wealthy Venezuelans were turned into a government-run resort area.

Ford still has a vehicle assembly plant in Valencia [0], but production is spotty due to parts shortages. And I suspect that the currency exchange rates aren't helping matters.

At a semantic web meeting sometime back one of the heads of Elsevier reasearch during her talk blatantly stated that "Elsevier is not a publishing company", I noticed numerous heads raise at this comment. Elsevier sells services. They no longer need to publish, or worry about losing their publishing, because the big journals like Cell etc. are not going anywhere, and because they control enough of the published information that they can do other things.

They also know that their knowledge-base is worth massive $, they sell medical diagnostic tools, text etc. [0]. It doesn't take a Cellular Biologist to connect the dots to notice the huge potential conflict of interest. Controls publishing (on medical topics), sells diagnostics, $ for all this. I'd bet money they own insurance companies. Is it malicious? Who knows. Is it obvious that it could be abused, with certainty.

>I could not understand why this film was allowed, since the camp is an obvious metaphor of the USSR.

there are couple of aspects here:

- the movie was allowed by Khruschev who had [to a significant degree] dismantled the "Gulag regime" of Stalin, so one could make a case at the time that the movie was a metaphor of that dismantled regime

- there is a kind of political poker with censorship - who the first would associate the satire work with a sensitive political metaphor. If the artist doesn't do it directly themselves, then it is the censors who should declare that they see say a USSR in such a grotesque work, and that would expose the censors' own disrespect of the USSR. It is better described by the joke from the time:

Stalin (who had a prominent mustache) orders to the great [in USSR WWII history view] Marshal (4-star general) Zhukov an impossible task : "Take the city by tomorrow morning!". Marshal Zhukov leaving the meeting mutters in frustration: "F-king ass with a mustache!" The KGB chief Beria overhears it and reports about it to Stalin. Stalin calls Zhukov back and asks whom Zhukov had in mind when saying that. Zhukov answers : "I had Hitler in mind of course!". Stalin turns to Beria and asks "And whom did you have in mind?"

You indicate your preference for office when you apply - if you go through their Jobs site it's part of the position, or you can tell the recruiter that you'd prefer Mountain View positions. I was living in Boston (a little bit easier than UK since it's still in the US, but still cross-country) when I first applied - I said that I was open to roles in either Boston or Mountain View, but would prefer Mountain View since I was looking to relocate. Oftentimes it makes it easier for the company, since there are more roles available at headquarters. Visa issues are usually easier to resolve than team-fit issues.

> Isn't AWS's claim that parlar was hosting illegal content?

No, it wa, IIRC, that Parler wasn't meeting obligations under the ToS for dealing with content prohibited under the ToS when they were notified of that content, and were failing to do so for an extended period of time demonstrating either persistent unwillingness or fundamental incapacity to fulfill their obligations.

Some of the content banned by the ToSay may also have been illegal, but that wasn't the issue, and neither was the simple fact of hosting the problem content.

These kinds of things are really just intended to be a fun proof of concept or a demo of something off the wall for shits and giggles.

It's a bit of a leap to "You'll shoot your eye out" or "it'll never work in real life" because it was never meant to be anything more than that.

Personally, I think it's awesome!
This gives a weird sort of incentive to "report" stuff anonymously...

I was given "only nasal" as an endurance tip as a child and always understood that simply as a helpful intensity limit guide: if you stick to "noseable" level you won't find yourself completely exhausted any time soon.

It may lack sophistication but it's surely helpful for people who haven't yet learned how to spread out their endurance. But whenever something works in the realm of athletic performance, there'll be a flock of people who make up the wildest theories to explain how it works and misapply it to situations where it's actually completely wrong. So I totally get that "woo-wooh"
Very interesting. I go through phases of coughing after cardio exercise and only now realize the correlation with the seasons!

Though late last winter I made a conscious and extremely difficult effort to exclusively nose breath while doing my 5 km runs, inspired by a slightly fuzzy pop-science book. I experienced much less coughing after exercising in the cold after this change. I believe it has helped all my cardio activities since making this change. It was difficult because early on I would get an almost completely blocked nose due to the cold air, and instead of reverting my breathing behavior I would be forced to stop and wait for it to clear. After a while this issue disappeared.

I disagree. What about a situation where a cisgendered man prefers having sex with people that also have dicks? Typically, we would call this person gay, which we interpret as "men who have sex with men". However, this person would want to have sex with cis men and trans women, not because they're transphobic, but because their preference is based on the person's physical body.

My point with the example is that there are rare cases where treating everyone (including trans people) as their biological sex is warranted because we are talking about situations where their sex explicitly matters (i.e. usually something related to their physical body).

As to whether or not it makes sense in sports? I don't know, I haven't put much thought into it. But I don't think arguing either perspective is inherently transphobic or disrespectful.

a good story about floatplane: i signed up pretty much as soon as it was announced, then i forgot about it and also forgot my password.

i was billed -very little- for a while then i opened a support ticket to have my account restored, since i had been billed for a while i at least wanted to watch some content.

but apparently something in the backend had changed and they plainly refunded me from the time i had my last login (iirc) and then they allowed me to re-signup.

it's been nice because i had then been able to re-signup and also recover some money that were pretty much lost, and i wasn't expecting that nor asking for it.

i really hope to see floatplane grow!

This is my view too. I'm hopeful that eventually some combination of technologies that already exist (peer-to-peer sharing, tor, blockchain, homomorphic encryption, maybe even wireless mesh networking) will evolve into a decentralised hosting and delivery system that everyone will use.

I'm woefully uninformed to speculate about how feasible this might be though, so it remains just a hope for me.
Loved it! It gets crazy with the pawns, I was so surprised. The visuals of the game are so and so, but they are really cool nonetheless. Two thumbs up from me!
This is ridiculous. How would this even work in practice?

Say I am a charity who feeds the homeless. You like that, so you I’ve me a $1 million dollar interest free loan to further my cause, but say you can demand repayment if we strayed from our mission.

Ok... so what is the charity going to do with the money? They are going to spend it on stuff.. so they spend the million dollars either on things that are good for the charity mission or not, but either way they are spending the money.

If afterward you say “that isn’t right, I demand you pay back the loan!”.... how are you going to collect? They already spent the money. The loan wasn’t backed by anything you can take back. You could take the charity over, I guess, but it will be a name with no assets.

Even if a charity had assets to take, how do we know the DONOR won’t ‘stray from their mission’ and suddenly demand repayment years later after the money is spent? Who decides if the charity has strayed from their mission and the money is eligible to be taken back? What if the donor suddenly needs money and claims the charity drifted off mission even though they didn’t?

This is one of those ideas that sounds good unless you think about it.

i disagree wholeheartedly in that it is more cooperative.
Switzerland is anything but cooperative.

But that's what makes this country so great. We take our divisions, within cantons, and leverage them for positive externalities to (accidentally) benefit the greater good.

In CH, every very canton sets their own citizenship policy. Its not a coincidence. Did you hear about the woman that's been living in Zug, and been denied citizenship for years? Why? Because she's annoying. She doesn't respect her neighbor's customs. That's literally why. Yes! Our canton can't even agree between about who can be a citizen, and who may not!
But we argue far more... and it won't make the papers. We argue about the standard size of doors, whether we can vote electronically, whether a free trade agreement with andorra should be allowed. Etc etc

This means, big project ambitions get cut down to size, and few grand things if any, get done at the federal level. But this is glorious: it is very hard for regulations to become calcified within the state apparatus.

So, while spain sends soldiers to die in Afghanistan, or the UK wastes decades of development on a grand EU project, or US citizens get spied on by their own govt via Patriot Act.... CH is just sitting pretty, doing its thing. Arguing about every little detail to exhaustion.

The best thing that could happen to us, is to remain just as we are. I welcome the next 800 years of peace and economic development.

The Sun Microsystems Rock processor had I guess, validation? Rather than re-order instructions, you just speculatively execute instructions, issue you memory ops but don't stop and wait, called "hardware scouting". If after everything resolves, you find your prediction was wrong, you rollback. So it's a kind of Transactional Memory approach, and if validation fails, you re-execute the same sequence of instructions, but the branches are different.

I’m sorry. That is the probability distribution. EE doesn’t change that mathematical fact. The distribution is not “fixed that way”, it is what it is.

Now, it’s of course true that the mean of a finite sample taken from that distribution (which has a HUGE variance) will also have a huge variance.

Why would that give a meaning to your talking about “deciding what distribution to use” in EUT, I don’t know.
I've read this book twice. The first time, I enjoyed it, and as I read it I felt that I understood the gist, at least intuitively. Similar to what you describe, my view was always that statistics is a bunch of tricks, and probability is much deeper. After reading this book, I read another book, a technical book about probabilistic graphical models. As I read the book, I implemented most of the algorithms. I also had to read a bunch of papers from the 80s and 90s to do that. I then decided to read this book a second time, and now I really came to appreciate Pearl's points, and can see why statistics (and probability...) are insufficient, and the need for his do-calculus. I've also been reading much of his 1988 classic, though not done with it. While I'm not there yet (still implementing more papers, and not read his Causality book yet) I can see how his proposed calculus and the work of his students in that area can help do the things he describes in the last chapter. So, the book can be interesting to lay people, and it may entice them to learn more. I think this is the book's purpose, and therefore that it is a success, at least with me.
