According to this site it was an XEGS, and to my mind that is the best console ever :D

As someone who has used tinder in the past, no it’s not exactly what you describe it as. Sure, you might be able to find immediate sex if you are lucky and attractive, but it’s not so easy. Grindr, from what I’ve heard from my gay friends who use it, is a lot more casual.

Most profiles I came across on tinder specifically mentioned that they were not on it for a short term thing.
There's a reason I specified 'high-density'. 'Your' water pipes and electrical conduits become only a small part of the whole as soon as you're looking at townhouses, duplexes, or even just small homes sharing a lot and utility connections.
I thought it was always done the first way, where recruiter is a preliminary filter that provides the dev team with a list of candidates.

A Clever Strategy to Distribute Covid Aid–With Satellite Data
I had a recruiter a few years ago pitch me about an amazing opportunity at a series F company that he wouldn't name in the initial pitch email. I didn't see that as an advantage at all. That's 6 rounds of investors who are all going to need to get paid and then some before you see a penny. It also implied to me the early growth/fun stage was over and they either limping along or so big to be unrecognizable as a legit startup.

That argument is super, super weird. I agree that if you are a complete jackass with a demonstrated tendency to make poor choices, a monorepo may not work well for you. On the other hand, software development is probably not the right career for such a defective person, or the right line of business for such a defective organization. The anti-pattern described at the beginning of the article is why you should adopt trunk-based development, not a good argument for why you should avoid monorepos.

were ran on the basis of renovating existing infrastructure, not building new stuff in a new city because the previous two Olympics were financial disasters.

As with...all...of its Olympic bids, LA was not the first choice for the 1984 Olympics. It basically got those Olympics (and 2028, and the 1932 Olympics), because nobody else wanted to host them. In 1932, the world was in the throes of the Great Depression; in 1984, the previous Olympics had bankrupted their hosts; for 2028, hosts of the 20xx games exuberantly built new facilities only to see them wither into decay from non-use (Brazil, China, even London).

Thus, LA's bids have always focused on fiscally responsible games. As with the previous 2 iterations of the LA Games, LA will not be building many new facilities solely for the games. Indeed, currently, LA plans to build no new facilities for the games, though there will be temporary structures/courses built for the swimming events, the BMX and MTB racing events, and NBC will be paying for a temporary media center. Currently, all $7 billion of the estimated costs are being funded by the private sector.

Not sure I buy it. The limits here are more 'go talk to your boss' than 'stop bidding when it gets to $XXMM' for everyone involved except for Deepmind (which was later also bought by teh googs).

Furthermore, execs are creatures of emotion and whimsy, rather than strictly rational operators. As the price soars higher, they see that everyone at the table values the thing highly, and are likely willing to increase their max bid as their sense of FOMO increases... Subincrements aren't going to matter much, except to ratchet up the feelings at the table even higher, faster.

> As designed, there is no direct way to influence the TRU Score in any meaningful way

If I cannot influence my TRU Score, then it's not really a reflection of anything about me, is it?

The screenshots I've seen of your site suggest you give this score the most prominent position on info cards about people. This suggests to me you are designing the site to let people use this information first and foremost in making decisions.
Thanks for you thoughts. The price is based on participants in a Tellspin rotation, so it's easier to adopt on a team by team basis. So for example, if your company had 1,000 users in your Slack workspace, but you only had 10 people using Tellspin, you'd only pay for those 10 people.

Nonetheless, I agree $1/user/month is a bit steep. I've lowered the price by 5x to be $5 per 25 users / month.
> Fire them until they can demonstrate that the algorithm is not in fact biased like it appears to be.

What do the non-black box findings from the area show? If blacks are a poor demographic in the area it might be true. (Crime tracks poverty, not race.)

But yeah, certainly don't pay anyone for, or use, a black-box algorithm.

> The score also takes into account answers to questions like whether the defendant's parents were separated or whether their parents were ever arrested. Those things are completely out of the defendant's control and are highly correlated with race. Even including those things in their score is damning.

Nope. That's perfectly fair to look at. For instance, a broken family is another predictor. It's not fair, but being a victim increases your chance to offend. Similarly, the number one predictor of child sex crimes is to have suffered them yourself. If you have a child and are picking a babysitter, skip the one who was molested.

fwiw, those things don't correlate with race, they correlate with poverty which correlates with race. Broken families are more likely to be poor and abusive.
We had an Atari 400 and then an 800 along with the Atari 410 program recorder that used ordinary audio cassettes to store and load data.

I learned BASIC on that along with hours of Star Raider, Miner 2049er, Jumpman, and arcade classics like Pac-Man, Centipede, and Missile Command.

You don't understand just how inept most doctors and lawyers really are.

It doesn't matter how competent or incompetent whatever professional might be. The only thing a deep learning application is going to do is duplicate their behavior. Deep learning involves no "thinking" at all. Just a very elaborate, brute force curve fitting. If the doctors are on average "incompetent" so will be the deep learning app (ie, you kind fall for the sort of "since it's a machine, it will be accurate" fallacy that makes people want to trust self-driving cars)

A future configuration will probably look something like: far fewer highly talented doctors and lawyers.

If you really automated the work of lawyers and doctors with explicit, maybe. BUT that isn't how "deep learning" work. Deep learning just uses data and the problem is you need sufficient data, a sufficiently large corpus of data to show by many, many examples what the thing should do.

Oddly enough, your scenario of high expert adding their expertise to the system is much more like the original Gofai model where a few experts would hypothetically program in their expertise. That scenario fell with difficulty of expertise programming. The present systems can't work that way.

What I'm saying is, if the price of gasoline is raised to its "true" cost, according to projections of what unchecked warming will cost, what if that's not enough to eliminate gas powered cars or climate change in general?

I'm not arguing that we can live with continued warming, but if we go and determine quantitatively two independent things without pre-judgement, we can't guarantee they will match.

You think there should be zero IC cars, but what if properly priced gasoline isn't enough of a deterrent to get people to stop driving them? What if the true cost of gasoline is a lot higher than in the US, but not much higher than in the most taxed places right now?

What I'm arguing is not should we do this or that, but that I suspect nobody is serious when they talk about externalities as they would not make decisions based on them.

It seems reasonable to say the end of the world can't be converted to dollars. But the idea of externalities being priced in or not implies that the damage can be priced and then it is a logical possibility that charging for it isn't enough to bring it to zero.

It bugs me when people are inconsistent and incorporate ideas into their arguments that they don't believe in, more for their aura. It's popular to sneer at forcing things into a one-dimensional quantitative straitjacket. Fine. But some arguments are inherently quantitative.

Yup it was something like that. I think it was the opacity property. IE6 required a custom property so in order to do opacity you had to set at least two CSS properties, might have actually been more because Safari/Firefox/Opera/IE mostly had opacity as a CSS extension.

Not sure we have clean-electric airplanes?

But I agree with everything else. Personally I recently used some calculators to see what my carbon footprint is and found a plausible offset for it (certified program through my utility company that goes to buying/building more green energy). And it was pretty darn cheap, less than 15/mo for myself in a 1 bedroom apt, a SUV, and multiple flights a year. Now a larger family increases that number, but nothing the middle-class can't handle. (I Also donate a ton to Wildlife Conservation Network)

I'm trying to do my part, but it seems meaningless without appropriate political decisions that would have real impact by costing our externalities.

Official response from the EMA indicates that the "leakers" (lightly?) manipulated the data, and did not simply pass it on unmodified:

Don't compare Spotify against god, compare it to the alternative. Everyone has a "recommendation algorithm", it just doesn't have to be spotify's. It could be the radio, or what they see talked about in pop culture (e.g. WAP), or what their friends are listening to, etc. Spotify's algorithm has the potential to be radically more fair than any of the available alternatives. A fair algorithm is one that always shows people the songs they're most likely to appreciate, and the incentives are correctly aligned for Spotify to make a good effort to get as close as possible to that ideal (Spotify's top-tier "discover weekly" playlists are why I stick with it over any other platform). Music I listen to through the recommender is actually more valuable to me than music I picked out myself - if I only wanted to listen to music I already know about, I would just pirate it or buy it on itunes and save myself $10/month.

As an aside, I also disagree with "In scenario 3 and 4, the user just wishes to have something making noise, not anything specific, but not random". I don't just want something making noise, I want something making the kind of noise that I like to listen to, which includes a mix of old songs/artists and new ones I've never heard before.

Not so fast.

Imagine Wikimedia Enterprise becomes the #1 source of revenue for Wikimedia. Shortly after, people will see that Wikimedia is doing OK and become reluctant to open their wallets and donate.

Then, the top Wikimedia Enterprise customers will acquire leverage over Wikimedia and try to get Wikipedia curated to their convenience. Wikipedia articles will start being indistinguishable from advertisement.

Governments will intervene and want their share of influence too.

Top volunteers will start asking to be paid, many others will leave, some others will become critics of the project.

People will start being skeptical of Wikipedia because of their biased editorial line and then the project will be declared a failure, once everyone is angry and a beautiful project is torn apart by greed.

We have been told that technology is the solution to problems we face. But, many problems we face are created by technology itself. May be it is time to look at technology not as a solution. Technology may provide solutions at some times for specific cases. but we need to be very selective and careful about that technology.

Except that panel development has meant that more energy has been generated at wider angles. Battery tech had the advantage of advances in consumer electronics, Tesla (and everyone else) literally just connected laptop batteries together.

The same thing won't happen with solar, it needs active use in novel areas. Cars are out in the sun, why not collect it? Panels aren't exactly a super rare resource, we could and should make piles of these and stick them to everything, it's literally free electricity and basically 0 maintenance.

There, that runtime is roughly O(n^2) when dealing with bignums, since addition scales linearly with bit length of the operands, and bit length increases linearly with the number of iterations (~0.7 bits per iteration).

Which is still not fast -- on my laptop, Python takes about 9s for fib(1000000). But compared to an exponentially-growing function, that's a blink of an eye.

I don't think there's any of what you're saying here. Compared to almost any other country, objectively, there are more flags per capita in the USA, more flags displayed (where else does everything from a car dealership to a hardware store have multiple prominent flags?), etc. These phenomena exist everywhere, but pretending that it's not more prominent in the US of A is committing some fallacy of the golden mean or something.
It's not about "who pays the most" it's about the best book. Book authors compete against each other to write the best book and therefore generate more sales.

Imagine reading an article from Wikipedia and at the end of the article it says "If you want to learn more about this topic take a look at our recommended books" and link leads you to dedicated page which lists let's say top 20 most popular books about that topic.

It can even replace Goodreads in a sense that Wikipedia community can rate, review and recommend books to each other.

Degraded mRNA just... doesn't work. It'd be a problem if all the mRNA in your cells started suddenly degrading faster than usual, for sure, but that's because you need the resulting protein output to live.

Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but I'm building a tool that's meant to be a companion to Git for large files[1]. The core concept is to track large files/directories in a separate content-addressed store and have Git track references to said files. To your "I can't use them without setting up another server" comment, I'm making use of rclone[2] to replicate the file store to any reputable storage service/platform. If you already use S3, for instance, just set up a new bucket.

I'm happy to answer questions and take any feedback.

> no direct connection to criminality like whether or not their parents were separated and whether their parents were ever arrested

Again, not right at all. These things heavily correlate with crime. A broken home is the primary indicator of someone's future success, even over a 'better' but broken home.

I'm male, and not a rapist, but having a penis heavily correlates with rape. I suggest you do not pick me, or any male, to watch your children. Sure it's rude to the innocent, but oh well, a little rudeness vs potential harm.

> I'm not even convinced that you should be allowed to make a decision based on stuff like that even if it is somehow equitable.

Then nobody will ever follow the law. If it's illegal for me to reject a potentially bad babysitter for something I know about them that could risk my child's safety I'll happily lie and say I didn't like their haircut.

You'd get further if you tried to identify these people and treat them better - grants to move out of bad neighborhoods, to get educated, to get pardons for unrelated crimes, to get counseling for abuse, etc - than with this "wrong unless it's 100% identical, equity-of-outcome" thing.
