A lot of times they are not lying, they are genuinely clueless. Part of the problem with academia is that they follow the edict set by George Constanza: “the best liar truly believes in their own lie.” So often they truly believe that their field’s method of choice is how we will use AIDS to cure cancer, because the grants-system ensures that anyone who doesn’t truly believe in their vomit won’t get their grant approved (you need to write them with conviction, not doubt, if you want them awarded). Then mediocre postdocs with an “entrepreneurial flair” decide they’re ready to take their nanobots and cure breast cancer and come to SV to pitch to VCs who are either clueless or are being advised by the same heads that are pouring the Kool-aid in academia to begin with!

Exceptions exist of course, and some of these bets turn good purely because of luck (if you take twenty random chemicals and inject, one of them might just cure cancer; incidentally how stuff like paclitaxel & vinblastine was discovered anyway). But this only seems to reinforce the conviction of these institutions to continue their methods.

One of the most important differences I feel VCs should acknowledge as a contrast between tech and biotech: with tech you can often choose one method of solving a problem and make it work. With biology however, nature will eventually give you a roundhouse kick if you try to force anything but an actual solution down it’s throat.
The other native languages got varying treatments. Dakota basically got the English alphabet with some accented characters added. It mattered quite a lot if a Native was doing the work or some missionaries. Which sometimes might be indicated if things are "Spirit" or "Devil" translated.

I do wish we had decided the Yuki got it right and we would all be using octal instead of decimal.

If you count the 15% self employment tax (social security) it can easily reach 50% after state and federal.
Most tradespeople are professionals, running professional businesses. Whilst your tradesperson might have gone on a bender with the cash last time, that wouldn’t be possible with Kanda. The money doesn’t get to the tradesperson until they’ve completed the job and the customer signs off on it. Then they can go on all the benders they want, they’ve done the work and it’s now their money. Whilst many jobs are still done in cash, the average person doesn’t have sufficient cash in their account to pay for larger outlays, such as a boiler, but could afford it on a monthly payments. What happens in that case? They just don’t get a new boiler, despite needing one? No, they look for an alternative payment option. Kanda offers the tradespeople that option, to offer monthly payment options to their customers, with zero risk to their own business. Finally, in terms of taxes, surely the income tax only applies on profit, with material costs subtracted. But regardless of that, paying tax on a job and getting income, versus not getting the job and not getting any income is surely better. $500 after tax is better than $0 because the customer can’t use you. And when your competitor is offering monthly plans, all of your customers will go to them to get their work done instead
The stimulus checks were essentially prepaid tax credits. If you weren’t eligible based on 2019 income, but you were eligible based on 2020, you’ll get the credits when you file your 2020 taxes.
Again, that makes no sense. And I never claimed one was a fork and the other not. They are both forks! That’s what a fork is... one path, then two!

Yeah that’s what bothering me as well. Seems to be happening everywhere though, reduced information density and increased whitespace and fonts. So as we’re all buying something with bigger screens, we still keep loosing real estate.

I really like Telegram and these features but I don’t use it because they don’t have end2end encryption as default. Also you can’t create a secret group chat that you can start from your phone and continue from your Mac.
If it's implemented at all, it's typically "long press", which, for my money, is about as counter-intuitive as it gets.
The simplest explanation is that it's people making programs for the sake of it, not for any practical purpose.

And such people (as people do) tend to coagulate into a community around that interest, sharing results and techniques and overall socializing!

I'm from Brazil and wasn't even born yet at the time, but if you want to easily see a bit of what demos were, one of their "modern equivalents", so to speak, would be Shadertoy [1]. There are also videos of old demos, and I'm sure there are archives of the programs, but I haven't searched for them either.
> Most parts of the library are written in pure C99. There are however, some additional components that require C11 to work (notably in the Threading module). As long as you are using minimal version (ZPL_NANO), and manually enable modules, the C99 support should be just fine.

I think it would be better to describe it as a C11 library. I didn't know what to make of 'almost C99', which might refer to limited use of compiler-specific features, for instance.
Do you also think spaghetti looks like worms?
I use two complementing strategies:

- Developing empathy towards myself first, that is, being able to observe feelings that arise within me and then being able to accept these feelings as they are. I have found this to be very relieving. A technique that helped me was meditation; training the mind like a muscle to be able to observe & recognize feelings.

- Turning this outwards to others, the works of Marshall Rosenberg on the NonViolent Communiction (NVC) [1] had a profound impact on my perception of feelings of others. I'm trying to follow the essence of the book, rather than copying the phrases outlined there. I'm seeing more and more that NVC can be applied to business as well as personal relationships [2]

Applying these to your example, it might be interesting to explore what do you _feel_ when the other person just wants you to listen. What is it that you _need_ out of the relationship and what is it that the _other_ side needs [3]?

It certainly does say something about the society. Currently and historically there are many societies willing to damage or kill their citizens to further greater goals, such as defending themselves from being conquered or conquering others.
Another thing that may help you in the long run and I can't recommend this enough, is a book called, The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.

Which chains got left behind when agharta was created?

You're deliberately conflating a tech insertion where the coin was "forked" with no remaining chain with a hard fork to rollback the chain and payoff a bunch of wealthy whales who made a technological fuckup. You're doing that in order to shill your coin and pretend it isn't what it is, which is a scam coin that is essentially centrally controlled by a small group of whales who are trying to increase their control by pushing it to POS where they will be able to cut the miners completely out of the process and do anything they want to it.

Again, I'm not shilling anything. You do your own research. ETH destroyed any concept of "distributed consensus" when they rolled back the DAO. Playing name games doesn't fix the problem, it's just playing games.

You're right, in a way. What I described would be a reality under a package manager with curated repositories, if I sourced all my software from there.

My wish came from the opposite end - I have all this software on my devices that's sourced from a lot of different places, and some of the software on my PC has built-in auto-update that's independent of the original installation method. What I want is a curation add-on - a single (at least per-device) component that would intercept all automatic updates of everything, coupled with a database (the service part) that could tell me roughly what the update contains, and flag anything problematic (telemetry, ads, feature removals, performance degradation, ...).

Your reply made me realize two things:

1. I used to hate default package sources on Debian for shipping a small selection of outdated software. I formed this impression back when I was young and naïve, and didn't question it since. But now I can see the value in having actual humans curate the software. I need to get out of the habit of adding random sources and PPAs just for the sake of having everything bleeding edge.

2. I'm really mostly pissed about this on behalf of other people. I've learned to manage my devices - mostly by being very selective about the software I run. Most people I know in the meatspace don't have the necessary experience and time, and helping everyone individually doesn't scale.

I am learning empathy myself and I think this would imply that they are being lazy and could come across as condescending. “That’s too bad, if I had that problem I would do something about it.”
You are right I assigned to malice what is probably just lack of skills and knowledge. Your are also right on the fact that what works is grind and find. You can do it at the scale of one lab or the scale of many labs, but in the end what works is to try a lot of things because we are still really shooting in the dark for a lot of targets or diseases we don't know any druggable target yet.

I don't think 1886-1926 Georgia was known for its willingness to include Black people at major, lily-white newspapers.

> Georgia's toll of 458 lynch victims was exceeded only by Mississippi's toll of 538. During the 1880s and 1890s, instances of lethal mob violence increased steadily, peaking in 1899 when twenty-seven Georgians fell victim to lynch mobs. Between 1890 and 1900 Georgia averaged more than one mob killing per month.

Take some classes towards some kind of counseling certificate, specifically ones where you can observe experienced counselors. You'll see people with expert listening skills use them to help people.

That's what I did and it changed my perspective permanently. Before becoming an engineer I studied theology, which is actually a pretty technical discipline that requires insane amounts of reading (i.e. not people oriented). Afterwards, I took a counseling degree. Digging into people's lives, their struggles, and watching my professors help people really opened my eyes. It helped me see where I was being rigid and taught me some amazing listening skills.

Wow, lots of assumptions or designer blaming in this thread. Not that it is unexpected, but it still hurts since it is not as black and white as people here draw it to be. Let me give you my perspective as a designer who spent quite a lot of time on this topic.

1. The fact that some designers ignore other devices than their own is definitely true. That is why I created a Figma plugin to broaden the perspective. https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/732240841094697441/Vi... But developers do the very same thing and as often as designers. Just further down the pipeline.

2. Not supporting the smallest possible devices like the original SE is a reasonable business decision. It is not even making it into the charts at all the products I'm currently working on. It is simply not worth the effort (since the effort is not as insignificant as people here say).

3. Supporting the smallest devices is definitely not free. And it has a real monetary, technological and UX cost. It costs a lot of money to properly test, report, design, and implement every possible edge case for every possible viewports. Developers HATE creating special layouts or cases for specific devices (speaking about native mobile development) and if I recall correctly, Apple might even prohibit it. And lastly, design is about making the best possible solution, for the biggest amount of people. Quite often you will find yourself in a situation where you have to decide whether you will vastly improve the experience for the 99% of people and make the experience not ideal for the 1% or vice versa. Which is the better call?

4. Blaming it all on designers is just too harsh. Yes, not everyone is perfect, and designers often miss it, but more often than not it is a simple business decisions. Designers can decide to ditch a certain viewport because it can benefit the majority, the same way developers decide to drop certain OS support.
They don't actually say that the lambda executes any closer to the data than any other instance. It would make sense for these to operate on the S3 nodes of course, but the description doesn't say one way or the other.
Have you read this book?

Every reader has their own interpretation of a text and the author's intent. Personally, looking back on Lolita I can say I'm a little uncomfortable with the level of empathy and identification the writer shows with Humbert Humbert, but I know the intention is to discomfit the reader by making them identify with a horrible character, so...
I dove into Bear Blog recently and enjoy it. I find there is freedom in fewer options. Writing and posting is simple. But there are some nice customizations.

> All thanks to the folks that laid down the foundation to Arabic numerals.

As an Indian, it is particularly weird for me to see the achievements on Indian pioneer mathematicians attributed to a totally different group of people. Brahmagupta, Pingala, Aryabhatta etc. should be correctly attributed and celebrated for their towering contributions to laying the foundations of Maths as we see today.
You have to learn how to put yourself into other people's shoes. It sounds simple but it is incredibly difficult. You really have to step outside of your ego and try to view things through another person's eyes.

A key part is understanding who the person is. What experiences they've had. Truly what their life is. Some of this you can extrapolate from where they were born, how they were raised, their heritage, race, sex, gender, sexual orientation, etc. None of these defines an individual though, so you really have to navigate each person and truly want to learn what makes them tick.

Once you learn a person's wants and needs, then you can start to reflect that off of your own experiences and start to live in someone else's shoes.

Chrome should default not to prompt.

It absolutely should. Making the default "never prompt" would lead to websites prompting users to modify their preferences and change security settings. We do not want to normalize that behaviour. It would be a security nightmare. The defaults might be a little annoying for users (who can switch it to never prompt if they want to) but keeping average users who do want email or chat notifications safe online should take priority.

We disagree then.

Certain things like Shakespeare I'd contend will appeal at least on a surface level to children too. Something like Lolita not so much.
Personally, i'd like to see AI used for "simple" things, not often tied to the core gameplay loop itself. Ie conceptually if you could tie the right gameplay components to an RNG function then the user could get new/unexpected experiences for a longer time. The problem is RNG often makes crap outputs.

I'd be curious to see ML take this problem. I imagine the examples are limitless, but one that comes to mind might be procedural worlds. Rather than tuning procedural worlds around seed values, what would it look like if we try to get an ML to craft the worlds? Procedurally generated worlds often have that feeling. Things don't make sense, etc. I imagine ML could make some far more diverse patterns that are both interesting and fun.

I'd like to see this pattern of "informed RNG" in a lot of things. Skyrim with NPC patterns to feel a bit more authentic. Etc.

I'm less interested in the classic AI dreams inside games, as it seems far out and less gamey. But our current games with informed RNG? That sounds.. neat.
True! While it's difficult to see, the yellow car is present and turns green when it is passed, so the car appears to be detected by the system.

Very hard to see because the brightness of color yellow is pretty close to brightness of the background, almost no contrast. They should have picked some other color instead.

To me it was completely non obvious; I know that there are much more emoji than shown in the first view, there’s category buttons that suggest there are more and the icons are layed out in such a way that most of the time you see half of an icon on the right, which suggests there’s more to find.

For this folder design where for the icon choice (which appears rather superfluous by the way) I have no idea how much icons there are supposed to be in the grab bag the developers provided, there’s no categories and they are layed out as a vertically scrolling list with icons neatly arranged flush against the right edge.
Is this from the part of Stadia that got cancelled? It sounds genuinely innovative and seems astonishing that they would back out of game development.

In the movie Surrogates, people have physical robot bodies which they pilot through real-world interactions. The surrogate bodies can look like whatever you want. One poor guy has to go outside, and he gets severe social anxiety from people actually being able to look at him.
I haven't been in a position where I needed to finance work on my home, but I have wanted a safe and easy way to pay individual contractors. Some of them prefer cash or paper checks (and their tax liabilities are their business), but an electronic payment is better for me. I'd feel better if the payment platform offered me a bit of protection (arbitration? just a standard contract?) if there was a dispute over the quality of the work. I think there's definitely a space for a trade payments platform.

Best of luck with Kanda!

Cannibis legalization is not a progressive position. It's supported by nearly all groups. Joe is a globalist so he supports all manor of authoritarianism.
Windows can be booted into test keys mode, which allows the loading of unsigned drivers. We don't consider that a security issue because the privileges you need in order to switch to that mode are equivalent to the privileges you get by switching to that mode. It's the same here - the ME is the root of trust on Intel platforms. If you're in a position to execute arbitrary code on the ME then you've already got the ability to compromise the rest of the system enough to run arbitrary code on the host CPU, and being able to modify microarchitectural state doesn't give you additional privileges.
No. I saw it from the video leaked on Parlor.
