> I think that it’s almost more terrifying than the thing itself that more people aren’t mostly incredibly disturbed by the insane violations of privacy and speech.

Exactly this. I find myself very lucky to have avoided authoritarian measures by living in Japan, but I feel very sorry for my home country which multiplied freedom violations after violations. I find it very scary that nobody complained about it, despite the fact the lockdowns and curfews were stronger than any measures taken under Nazi German occupation. If the disease was actually very deadly I would understand, but in the covid case once the data were out after a few months, it was clear that elderly and obese persons were the only real at risk group. It thus make no sense to destroy economy, social, work and education lives of millions of people for this. And again, lot of countries dealt with it without heavy liberty privations and did fine (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan come to mind).
Its likely illegal for California to close its borders to Florida. But that probably would have slowed the spread significantly, at least in the 3rd wave where the Mid-Western / anti-mask states led the 3rd wave.

This country was in this together. For better or for worse. Closing the borders of states was never an option.
It proved Hubble right about the expansion of the universe, so all in all I think we can say with absolute certainty it was a smashing success.

Apparently the total cost for Hubble is on the order of 10 billion. That's just a fraction of what a tech company like Apple makes every quarter, so I think it was a totally reasonable expense relative to its discoveries.

And luckily we learned building giant, precise mirrors with 1980s technology maybe wasn't the best decision. The James Webb design is totally different and hopefully less prone to such problems.
Why would that be frightening? Everything we care about and can observe is obviously inside the black hole with us. Being inside a black hole wouldn't change the price of bread.
Vanilla R got a bad name but once you understand the fundamentals it's quite good, fewer footguns than used to be there, and I find it easier to reason about than tidyverse.
The cognitive error being discussed here relates to a systematic failures to make accurate descriptive statements. The distinction between deontological and consequentialist thinking is entirely prescriptive. Being able to make accurate descriptive statements and understanding the accuracy of descriptive statements are valuable tools regardless of if you are a consequentialist, a deontologist or adhere to some other moral framework altogether.

I believe that torture is wrong and I also believe that torture doesn't work. I could theoretically be convinced that torture works, but I would still believe that it is wrong. If I were to insist that torture doesn't work in the face of strong evidence to the contrary because of my moral beliefs that would be a cognitive error.

Regarding your footnote: They cannot be the same thing because preferences are prescriptive and errors are (at least as they are being discussed here) are descriptive.

HIV is only transmitted during the exchange of bodily fluids.

Beyond that, we learned to treat it extremely effectively, today if someone who is HIV-positive adheres to their antiretroviral therapy they have a normal life expectancy.
> So, deplatforming (silencing) a group is okay, but doing the same for other group is not okay based on some arbitrary criteria.

This is such a lazy argument, because it's trivially defeated. Yes. Exactly this. In the same way that e.g. jailing one group (the guilty) is okay, but doing the same for another group (the innocent) is not okay.
I technically only used it for logfiles, but as a key part of a chain of scripts / utils forming a simple custom test automation suite I cobbled together. Having done that, I'd reach for it first for any ETL-like task given structured data on the order of a few hundred thousand or maybe a few million rows.
The planned mission length is generally very conservative, especially for missions which are not fuel limited (solar panels, etc).

The cost of renewing operator contracts is much easier than getting funding for a new mission, and the cost of R&D, launch, and new operations.
There are a lot of unique identifiers in a PC, not just on the CPU but various ones in the motherboard (BIOS) too...

hi kathy, congratulations on the site launch. there's one thing that stood out when I opened the site that you might want to take a look at. the 'onmouseout' behavior on the menu at the top seems like it needs to be reworked a little bit, because there is a tendency for the submenu to get 'stuck'. (its especially noticable if the mouse is in that position when the page loads). here's what i mean specifically: https://i.imgur.com/mbMnm4R.gif

second, i don't know if this is just my browser, but the images associated with step 1/2/3 (step 2 is missing) are vertically stretched kind of wrong, e.g. https://i.imgur.com/Hr63i0q.png

other than that, i strongly commend you for not using some kind of auto-hiding animation on the sticky header. and also not using animations in general. good call.
A self entitled rich man can afford to take chances.

The guy he plows into can’t.

Tesla’s driving technology seems good enough, so I can picture guys whom are tired, or have been drinking, thinking I’ll take a calculated risk tonight.

Once a week I think about that tech guy whom plowed into a bollard on 101, or the guy sleeping coming home from Vegas.

I’m glad the NTSB is being very prudent. This is coming from a guy whom hates most laws, and believe society would be better off without so many regulations.
Google also killed windows phone using the same tactics.
Why are these sites so poorly designed? I don't think any of this junk is usable.
I'm still thinking about it. I think positioning, attitude and so forth would be hugely important for any hope of success.

Some things take more thinking than others to figure out a good approach to them.
Node.js, Python, and Ruby are single-threaded. They all have ways to achieve concurrency and multi-process usage right now, and so does OCaml. I get it, people really want OCaml multicore–and it's coming–but that by itself is not stopping OCaml from being an industrial-strength, production-ready language right now.
>There still is potential for short and long term wins with GameStop.

The potential is the current volatility. If you're buying GME for $200 there's no long term potential unless they turn into a completely different business than they are today, potentially having nothing even to do with gaming. Which I suppose is possible but I think its unlikely.

All of the suggested pivots I've heard don't sound viable to me. People want them to be tournament organizers and make money off of that. Doesn't seem to be profitable unless you're a game dev company with at least one massive hit or a streaming platform, or one of the established players. People suggested they focus on digital distribution of games, so how does one accomplish that? Either with a store or a launcher. They already have a store that sells digital game codes and its getting killed by bigger and vastly better competitors. If you want to make a successful launcher, once again, you have to have at least one big hit that makes people actually want to install yet another launcher. People suggested they get involved with luxury gaming goods like peripherals, chairs, etc. The GME name isn't exactly synonymous with a luxury experience so I'm not sure how that works out either. Before it became a meme and a bunch of /r/wsb guys started pretending they thought it was a good company they were universally hated for shitty customer service, shitty treatment of their employees, and for giving people like $5 for a used game and then turning around and selling it for in some cases like 50 cents below retail for a new copy.

For people that think they are going to transform, what in your opinion can they do to actually become profitable?

Also, note that when deepvalue started promoting GME he didn't believe it could turn around and thought that the industry's transition to digital was going to be slower than most thought (based on an extensive analysis of their fundamentals and history of sales). He basically bought in because he thought they had a few good years left before the decline. Now he is saying he thinks its a good company that will survive. I just don't see it.
You can actually get a German driver's license within 2 weeks if you sign up for a crash course. You have to listen to 14 theory lessons (90 minutes each), pass a computer test about them, do at least 12 45 minute long practical lessons (5 outside the city, 4 on highways, 3 at night), and some optional lessons inside the city (which you actually need more but aren't mandatory).

In the end you have to pass a 45 minute driving test where the instructor tells you where to drive to (mostly through the city), asks you questions about car maintenance and safety, makes you parallel park, and do emergency break tests.
I’ve been reading “fairly soon” for so many years now. People laughed on HN when you said we wouldn’t have it by 2020. I hope technologists are willing to do the hard work to make sure it actually is safer before making assertions that it is based on shoddy as-honest-as-an-advertisement statistics.
Great. Let them do that. The important thing is that they're not getting their message in front of whoever happens to be scrolling the Reddit front page. That's enormously more harmful.
(For others: the above groups.google.com link is 2020, more recent than the 2018 in the HN post title.)
It's not so much that, but rather that OCaml's dominant paradigm of modules and functions is just so powerful that you almost never need OOP. But when you do, it's super useful to have.
> Its likely illegal for California to close its borders to Florida.

I wonder if that's really the case. A year ago I'd say the same for Australia. Yet most Australian states closed their borders at some point as a response to local cases spiking. (I agree it's less practical in the US, but I do wonder about the legality)
FYI, your email address is exposed on that page.

What an awful decision made by the developer. It is entirely unnecessary to display any account-related info to recipient(s). Some of us use a unique email address per company/site/account, and I find it unacceptable that my account's login would be exposed like this. It's the first piece of information required to begin brute-forcing or social engineering access to the account. I also use two-factor, but that's beside the point.
I've replaced pulse with pipewire and that has been seamless. The experience is generally determined by how well the distro supports moving from one to the other rather than any maturity issues with pipewire.

I've retained jackd instead of using pipewire's implementation because I don't think the pipewire version supports transport control or timecode.
There is also Obsidian, which does not compete with Roam Research directly on all features (but comes pretty close), but is locally hosted. Great option for those seeking privacy of their notes and thoughts.
(And I will admit here that "Rust doesn't allow you to X", as I said originally, is not an accurate statement objectively. Attempting to rephrase that objection to be better, I would say, by the time you are doing all this stuff, you are outside the gamut that Rust was designed for, so by doing that program in Rust you are taking a lot of friction, but not getting the benefit given to someone who stays inside that gamut, so, it seems like a bad idea.)

Low-code database builders have been around for a long time , Airtable did not come up with this concept, just a slick UX/ implementation of one.

Google is making money with users' emails contents and ads displayed in their interface, so that's not like they are doing that for free.

Marxist-Leninst academics are quite ferociously opposed to Postmodernists - postmodernism is completely incompatible with Marxist intellectual frameworks which are thoroughly modernist.

I do not live in the US, but I love that your system allows you guys to have effectively 51 experiments on how to deal with the spread of a virus, and see the results of every strategy. Do you really think that, if you can't even control your borders between states, your border on the south with Mexico for instance, would ever be effectively controlled to avoid the virus to come through it? The complete failure of California (even when compared to states where the demographics tend more to the older generations) tells me everything that is needed to understand if the lockdown approach works or not.
It’s a common acronym in the tech world. I’ve usually used it in the context of a “buy-or-build” conversation about software (e.g. “most businesses are best off using COTS applications than doing custom development” - that sort of thing). But the acronym means what it means, so when OP talks about COTS camera gear, it makes sense to me.
I'm not sure it matters really other than nostalgia value. Its doubtfully more educational. And in any case, there are hobby kits where you can build a basic computer and program itself using the computer. Its all still around, only cheaper and more available. Its just not the _only_ option we have now.
So should we start having drivers license requirements as hard as pilot license requirements? If not, then their manuals aren’t so comparable.

Breach of contract claims, beyond the most simple scenarios, often involve difficult normative questions. It's unlikely a simple dispute capable of being resolved by a computer would wind up going to trial. It would be settled or be the subject of summary judgment.

Sure, you might have word state -> boolean in a simple scenario. But what if the party alleges the contract, or a term, is void or unenforceable because of the existence of a vitiating factor? What if there are two competing interpretations of a term which depend upon considerations such as the purpose of the agreement?

It would be a very difficult task asking someone to agree to a contract which requires no value judgements. Even more so in the Nordic countries where such agreements are governed through a lens of 'good faith'.

We then wind up making value judgements, weighing the benefits of holding parties to a bargain capable of being determined objectively, on the one hand, and the elusive and complex notion of 'fairness' on the other.

We are then well and truly outside the boundaries of the capabilities of contemporary thinking machines.

Taxation is an area of back end law where lawyers should be worried about automation.
You statists are so silly. Obviously, we simply need to wait until the vehicles have killed several thousand people. Demand will decrease until it's no longer profitable for the manufacturer to operate. Another public health crisis solved by the invisible hand.
I do not have those problems. I am sorry you do. Sucks.

But, I am definitely not returning to "normal" pre Covid behavior.

I got Covid early on. It was extremely rough. Should probably have been in the hospital, but frankly worried about that a lot given what was happening.

Made it through, as did my family.

Those experiences were why we played it very safe. Lots of negatives in doing that, but there were some positives, damn good takeaways:

We basically saw a no flu season. Haven't caught much more than a sneeze. That is awful nice.

Travel, work, life balance got reset. Turns out a whole lot more can be done without doing those things as much. Good for the planet, good for a lot of people, me, mine.

Health care in the US is broken, and so is our governance. This whole thing has made me see just how severe cost and risk exposure for way too many people really is!

Our response, information distribution, and I could go on for a long while here is frankly and completely unacceptable.

There is real work to do and we have been running balls out and basically ignoring it, marginalizing costs and risks and in general just do not have our national priorities in order.

Just know others hear you. We felt it too. Felt it differently, but I do not think that matters.

Stay safe. Bet your ass I am going to.
I’m a big fan of c# but this question still fascinates me too. Would love to hear some input from the project devs on this.
I always admire the visuals you include in your articles. They're informative and simple. Anyone who has tried to create informative and simple graphics knows how deceptively hard it is.
We need another law here... When everybody maintains bad measures despite knowing they don't work. Impact factors in science are another example of that. You can say it is broken and proove it, your jury for grants or positions will still ask you to put the numbers next to your papers, and if you don't they'll do it themselves...
That would just make me want to review products even more. Is it possible to edit your original review and mention that they tried to bribe you as a response instead of simply attempting to fix whatever issue you had with the product?
The wonders of non copyleft open source.
While I like tidyverse, I honestly have trouble using it most of the time, knowing how much slower it is. It becomes addictive, where I have trouble accepting minutes over seconds many operations take in DT.

As for the speed, Matt Dowle definitely strikes me as a person that optimizes for speed. Then of course, there is the fact that everything is in place, and parallelization is at this point baked in. It's also mature unlike a lot of other alternatives and has never lost sight of speed. Note, for example, how in pandas, in place operations have become very much discouraged over time, and are often not actually in place anyways.

Note back to tidyverse. Why do you think tidyverse breaks with DT. If you enjoy the pipe, write out DT to a function (e.g. dt) that takes a data frame, and ensure that any operations you need specific to DT return a reference to your data table object and off you go with something like this:

df %>%
dt(, x := y + z) %>%
unique() %>%
merge(z, by = "x") %>%
dt(x < a)

There, it looks like tidyverse, but way faster.
Be very wary of people trying to somehow link postmodernism with Maoism/Marxist modes of analysis.

Indeed, postmodernism itself was a reaction to the perceived failure of Marxism (the failure of liberalism was already accepted in most academic circles), and the two are violently opposed.

Attempts to somehow liken the two are generally motivated by classical liberals trying to guilt-by-association all post-liberal ideologies and critical frameworks.
I didn’t get any “canceling” of Muir in the article at all. Yes there are well deserved criticisms, but the article ends with a thoughtful comment on Muir’s faults and his naturalism from the Native American in the intro: "You can't look at one person. You have to look at the philosophy of that time period. And with that in mind, he did a damn good thing."

Perhaps unpopular opinion, but the US vaccination system is about the worst when it comes to preventing spread. Instead, it seems to be attempting to prevent death.

I've always argued that preventing spread would as a byproduct prevent death, but I'm obviously not studied in the field.

Put shortly, I would have vaccinated college kids and working age folks first. They are not likely to die from it, but are far more likely to spread it than elderly and severely diseased folks.
You do realize health is not a "me" problem?

It is an "US" problem. Frankly, we have a number of US problems brewing and we have them due to not having our priorities in order as a people, human beings.

> People are scared and want to save their asses so they make super low estimates. That way it sounds really good in the media when things keep working.

I think that's an unnecessarily pessimistic take. Any system can have its life expectancy modeled over a range, e.g. a 99% chance it will survive 1 month but only a 50% chance it will survive to 1 year. When you're just giving one number to the media or other stakeholders, e.g. "expected life span", (or, for that matter, a single estimate to your boss), to be able to give a value with high confidence you will have to pick a number that is in the 99%-ish range, which means there is a good chance your system will survive much longer.
I read a bunch of John Muir’s writings last year. In his book “A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf”, about his journey south in the late 1860s, it was pretty hard to ignore how he never missed an opportunity to demean the people he met who had recently been enslaved. And he was born in Scotland and raised in Wisconsin, so it’s not like he came from the South.

There’s a lot of great stuff in his writing, but there’s this too.
I made a sample database and found it hard to look up the API - you could make that discoverable/easier from the main UI.

I think that I see what you mean, and that sounds fair to me. Basically that the disease may have only moved through half that population so far, if I follow your logic.
