While many will complain and there had been some reasonable cases for dislike counts (they only remove the counts not the dislikes!) I think this kinda makes sense.

The large majority of "productive"/"fair" video engagement is pretty much independent of the dislike *counts*.

It still matters to be able to dislike as a feedback function but they are not removing this (for now at least.).
April Fools is starting a little earlier than normal.
As mentioned in the other reply, this was under some bleachers and yes there was a rope and a guy with an axe. No idea what it did to his lifespan.

For my username: I actually started using this name before I was involved in nuclear power, and that’s the first time that’s been asked!
Right, according to the tweet this is done based on feedback from creators.
I'm still not sure a normal desktop would be enough to compute as many paths as that spring tank did. How would you do it solid state analog?
Right now, you can't find other people's posts. This is by design. It is up to you to decide who to share your posts with.

I considered adding an option to list your article on some type of feed or list, but then I would have to figure out how to moderate all the toxic posts that would inevitably pile-up.
The biggest one I hear in my area: "I'm healthy, so why should I help pay for someone's health that choose to not live healty (drug addicts, etc)"
As I person who uses Terraform daily, I won't agree with you - documentation on the AWS provider, for example, is terrible.
"A big downvote ratio will get most people's attention in a way that critical comments may not." I'm sorry but this is one of those things which absolutely needs citation. I can't remember the last time I looked at likes/dislikes to decide whether to watch a video. The thumbnails on the watch/rec page are what draw me in to watch a video, I don't bother looking at the number of likes/dislikes (or comments) until maybe after watching the video.
>the ultimate goal of the technology is not to make the world any better, but to get more eyeballs and exfiltrate more personal data so their advertising monopoly can continue to snowball

I don't think these two things are mutually exclusive, especially in the context of e.g. taking steps towards addressing climate change.
At my first company, in order to commit anything we had to get someone else on the team to sit down with us and we'd have to go over the diffs with them and walk them through the changes and why. Incredibly annoying, but a great way to learn. I still rewrite "if (!condition)" to "if (positive_condition)" to this day based one guy's feedback that negative logic is hard to read and reason about. It was also really humbling to not remember why I did things, so I'd have to prepare for the code review so I'd have something besides "um, I don't remember" to say.

I have also realized that there are some categories of problems that I really don't know how to solve well. So if I find myself struggling, I try to ask someone for ideas.
None of that prevents them from establishing a standard size and connector type and a standard format for communicating properties of the batteries. NiCd batteries come in all kinds of minor configurations but as long as you know the basic chemistry and voltage you can use a cheap charger to charge them. Even if we hit a period of explosive experimentation with geometry (conical batteries, sheet batteries, string batteries, string batteries wound into comical coils made into slabs), we will eventually have a few specific form factors and that matters more to reusing these than the exact chemical composition.

Imagine if you had to buy Ford branded gasoline because that was slightly more efficient in Ford vehicles and therefore couldn’t be used in Toyotas. That’s effectively what you are advocating.

I know a lot of people that defend RMS and fully agreed with OP. I know a lot of people who don't care that much. As for your final conclusion that "if not you're enemy" I don't fully agreed with. You can be indifferent too. Not a single person that dislike RMS I know of can prove that he committed a crime. The dislikes are purely based on opinionated statements which is part and parcel of free speech. Showed me he committed something bad rather than "oh my feeling hurt because he said something not nice so he must be purged". I classified these kind of outraged people as snowflakes. Yeah, what a load of trash flakes.

If this exists, I would love to read it.
You're right, that would have been better. I certainly didn't mean to imply this process always goes smoothly, or that the quality of the work they provide is without question.
There is also heritage of the territories system like the homesteading act as very bottom up for various reasons. The approach specifically wasn't even to establish a state with an appointed governor or to send out survey corps and use them to establish "seed settlements", or even to start auctions in lands covered by existing forts but to do it from the bottom up with land allocations. Instead it was essentially a petition to join once a sufficient population was achieved and unified.

They had a "national memory" of getting screwed over by the old world and having Pointy Haired Boss mercantalists telling them to travel for months across the atlantic for trade rather than trade with other colonies - and many of the founding fathers were smugglers for their scoffing laws not in their interest.

Now the national memory is clearly memetic like well nations - their ancestors were likely actually still farmers or tradesworkers before emmigrating from their origin or immigrating to the states. Essentially the mentality is they /were/ the resources and didn't (while ignoring those they used as resources). Thus top-down anything is viewed with suspicion and "cutting a slice for yourself" as good. Corruption involving vote buying and extortiong likely also didn't help the trustworthiness to government institutions. Given those alone even if assuming ahistorical tolerance I wouldn't be surprised at publically funded X being looked at with a jaundiced eye as a "Okay how you are setting yourself up like a political boss - how are you trying to shove funds into your pocket this time?"

Combine that with the longstanding elite education having a Greeco-Roman obsession's influnce and seeing the ironic effect of what seems like common sense "supply your own military with equipment so their means don't limit your defense" as effectively establishing a generalismo to gain personal armies.

All of those point to ample reasons to view publically provided X with suspicion. The only reason public education did as well as it did was fear of catholic influence and them being better organized. The red scare had an internecine ancestor. "If they didn't provide education to the masses the Catholic church would and upset the general very peaceful in comparison to Europe balance of power." That notion of retaining that peace and not having "all of the bloody European wars for absolutley no gain" was very agreeable to all, especially emmigrants from said wars so Catholics wouldn't be too put out by "redundant funding" of what the church effecfively going to protestants as the church already gave it to their parishoners.

The more I think about the more I can see both sympathetic and bigotted reasons for them to have been suspicious of "free X" as a trap. Either way the roots existed well before Jim Crow a specifically post civil war system. Even if the centuries of suffering of Jim Crow could be retconned away it would probably "just" leave the South looking more like the North sooner as opposed to public healthcare approaching its 1st centurty anniversary.
I'm guessing they are looking forward to the point at which "everyone that wants a vaccine can get one", at which point safely opening an office building should be doable.
Nuclear war ends badly for all the participants and their allies, no exception. And not great for everyone else either.
The only thing that bothers me about literally every text editor out there today besides Atom is that because plugins are almost necessary these days and none of them cloud sync, it's really hard for me to move off Atom. I want that speed of Sublime Text back. I really do. VSCode's slight differences compared to Atom make it hard for me to move over.

New system? `apm stars --install` done. I can't do that out of the box with VSCode. I can't do it out of the box with Sublime Text and Package Control. But I have to get off Atom, it's just a disgrace. I can't multiline find and replace all project-wide on it. Can you believe that? Incredible.

And no, I don't want to put my config in a gist or put it on Dropbox. It's 2021. Please, for the love of editors, put these configurations in places where iCloud and OneDrive can pick them up automatically or give us a cli to pull down packages from our accounts.

Am I missing something? Is there an editor out there that takes care of automatically syncing packages for me besides Atom? No, I don't want a package to sync my packages.

I can't go to vim or neovim. I don't have all day to get my plugins and configurations just right. I want to be productive, now.
InMotion Hosting Review
For a person who uses Terraform daily, I won't agree with you. So many times I had to manually alter state files, and often contribute to basic providers, and wait months to get PRs merged in. It used to be that CloudFormation lagged behind Terraform for AWS, but not anymore. Now, it's quite the opposite and you see people using CloudFormation resource within Terraform as they are stuck into using plain Terraform and yet don't want to manage resource manually.
Take my dollar!

Seems like linktr.ee does a good job of aggregating links. So, the "donate" link could link to that, which then displays a bunch of options. However, I believe that a familiar icon - like the patreon icon - helps people make decisions.
Lol. Okay. You win. You are right about everything. Thanks for your time.
I agree.

There is a natural balance, between host and virus and population, that keeps the mutability and lethality in check.

Basically a natural kind of population control. Vaccines and technology in general do in a sense change this dynamic.

It's possible that the immune system becomes decoupled and evolutionarily atrophied when an artificial immune system becomes the primary defense.

They decided to remained something that they presumably enjoyed because another group was allowed to use it as well.

Please note my precise use of language; as stupid as it sounds if you were involved in the program (your language is precise enough that I’d lay a bet you were in some fashion) you signed documents indicating your inability to utilize certain words.

It’s stupid and I’m calling attention to it by this, and Wikipedia uses those words, but we sign NDAs and it’s the Government. No one ever claimed it all makes sense.
regarding #2, the math isn't necessarily clear at all. I actually have no idea how much my health insurance costs. my employer isn't required to fill that box on my W-2, so they don't. I'm mostly convinced that the average cost would be lower, but governments in the US do seem to have an incredible ability to waste money.
Why would this be a joke?
You said you were burned out from working at home.

If you have experienced that can you also imagine that some people are burned out from being in the office?

So can you understand how it’s bad to be celebrating other people being forced to burn out?
Wow, I'm impressed, I've never been downvoted to -4 before. I wouldn't have expected that this would be the post to get that, though.
Google doesn't have the volume on its first-party hardware to drive something like this yet & they would never start with BLE chips. Additionally, there's some really good vendors out of China already challenging BCOM & QCOM FWIW, which further complicates the "build it yourself" narrative (look at the Pixel buds which have an AirPods-like experience running a Chinese BLE chip for the buds which other Western vendors weren't able to match).

The Android org generally isn't the right org to build hardware, let alone do chip design. Maybe the camera team got closest when I worked there?

Source: worked on Pixel Buds @ Google & was one of several engineers responsible for selecting the chip vendor. We got source access to the entire stack/OS except for the microcode & some parts of the stack they hid. I found BES a way better partner to work with than the BCOM/QCOM mess.
I prefer a "green credit" to a "carbon tax".

A tax will always be passed on to the consumer, even if the govt taxes Ford, it will just make the car more expensive.

Using game theory, a question could be "how do we get Ford to make more electric cars, improve efficiency of electric car production, and incentivize them to advertise electric cars?"

My take is that businesses drive change, not consumers. On the whole, consumers are told what they want.

This sites example code seems to be taking the blacklist approach instead of whitelist, so I shouldn't break too many sites. Nor give the surprise treats you mentioned.

But I agree, locking down a site with CSP is a great exercise in just how domains get loaded. Especially if you have a marketing team who gets sold on the latest service weekly.
Looked at the other pages on that site as well. I am floored, Linus Akesson absolutely rocks.
I have no objective to control your activities. I just think that a society inherently restricts freedom. That's the covenant we make for having a "civil" society. Isn't your insurer impinging on your freedom by charging you more for what they deem reckless or risky behavior? We require people to wear seatbelts, to drive sober, to have a license when operating most vehicles. We restrict people from a large amount of BASE jumping. We prohibit many drugs for recreational use. Society is full of restrictions.

And if you don't have insurance? You sure are pushed to the back of the line for healthcare. Get laid off? COBRA only covers you so long, so you'll have to get on the ACA. That's why maintaining the existing healthcare system is a non-starter. It's why traditional Medicare is so popular. Once my generation dies off, it's a no-brainer that the younger generation will do away with the nonsensical system we have.
Don't confuse reason and excuse

Concern about counterfeiting just served as a usefully palatable justification for introducing the tracking technologies. After that, it's easy. All you have to do is let some small to medium counterfeiters continue to operate so the justification continues to look reasonable. Heck you can even do your more or less best to try to catch them all, since you can be confident you won't ever completely succeed

The worst damage crime does isn't direct. The real damage is the PR cover it provides for government repression

Yeah. The downvote count is extraordinarily important when looking at things like chain sawing how-to videos. So many people uploading unsafe practices. More benign but sharpening videos have the same thing. Some look good but show bad technique.

While it was certainly going up pre-ACA, if your costs went down due to the ACA then your case was extremely unusual. Costs are way up since it was enacted:

Is a bit error rate close to 1 just as desirable as one that is close to 0?
This is always always always a mistake. Social media _needs_ negative signals in order to self moderate, even if it's not much. Look at Facebook and Twitter for what happens when you don't: any kind of interaction is seen as positive, so both platforms amplify the most toxic and attention-seeking behaviors.
I would tip with BAT.

Fair enough, points taken. I appreciate your clarifications and our brief, but nice, discussion. :-)

> And so if the good becomes cheaper to produce over time, you'd want to inflate the cost of it to keep it level.

I'm a bit confused about this part - why would you want to "keep it [the cost] level" between 1921 and 2021?
I watch a lot of videos on home repair or construction topics ie “quick fix for broken PVC pipe” or “how to replace your RV water heater” and the like/dislike ratio is invaluable. The videos with high dislikes are either incomplete, incorrect, or have terrible audio rendering them useless. The videos with a high like ratio usually help me figure out how to do what I needed to do.
The other commenter is pointing out the flaw in your argument. You're claiming that Australians are less likely to see stage IV cancer than Americans due to a worse healthcare system in America. As the other commenter states, that's a very believable argument that fits the narrative about America's healthcare system. However, the data doesn't support that claim. If Australians truly see fewer cases of stage IV cancer because of a better healthcare system, then we should expect to see higher 5-year survival rates for those cancers in Australia. As the other commenter brought up, 5-year survival rates are higher in America than Australia for the most common cancers. So it's unlikely that your original argument is correct.

Sure, America's healthcare system is deeply flawed, but it's important to attack it on fair grounds. We can't solve a systemic issue by raising claims and arguments that aren't supported by evidence.

EDIT: Furthermore, identifying early stage cancer is an extremely problematic and difficult field regardless of healthcare system and country. In America, we currently screen asymptomatic healthy adults for breast cancer and colon cancer. We screen people with a smoking history for lung cancer. However, the benefits to overall mortality of these cancer screening tests is controversial.

While in theory identifying stage I cancer should result in improved overall mortality, the data doesn't clearly show that. Take a look at length-time bias (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_time_bias). It's possible that a substantial portion of the cancer screening that's done in America (and the stage I cancers found in Australia) selectively identify indolent cancers that are unlikely to be harmful to patients.
This is the really insidious part: They don't have to cut corners. The government covers the majority of the sickest people. The average US citizen pays into the private pool for the majority of their healthy life and then gets handed off to the government to cover them when they get expensive. It's literally a ripoff.

I could definitely have graduated from high school a bit earlier if I had wanted to but didn't see the need. I was one of those weird kids that did not actually want to graduate from high school because I liked it so much.
The book was written by Arnol'd. I recommend reading his opus magnum, written mostly as he was commuting on the Moscow Subway. It's called "The Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics". https://www.amazon.com/Mathematical-Classical-Mechanics-Grad...

but be careful, it is a bit terse. You have to spend a lot of time with it and some paper and pencil, working things out.

The reason why Gauss's principle is just a generalization of the fundamental theorem of calculus is that this general result is that

Integral over the boundary = Integral over the interior of the divergence, or more poetically

Int_(dA)A = Int_A dA

Assume you have some fluid flowing down the number line, where f(t) is the amount of fluid flowing through t. And this number line has some fluid sources and sinks in (things that add or subtract fluid). For an incompressible fluid, you will only get more fluid at f(t+h) then you have at f(t) if there some fluid producing source between t and t+h that adds a bit of fluid, df, to the total.

So the total amount of fluid flowing past b will be the fluid that enters the interval at a, f(a), together with the sum over all the divergences (sources) between a and b. Thus
f(b) = Int(df) + f(a).

The reason the one dimensional analogue of divergence is just the derivative should be clear enough, the divergence is the rate of change in all directions (gradient) but in one dimension, the gradient is just the derivative. In fact you can prove the multi-dimensional version from the one dimensional version via slicing and applying the one dimensional argument, taking into account the linear properties of the gradient (e.g. rate of change along some vector given by the sum of directions a + b is the sum of the partial derivatives along a and b).

I unfortunately am not writing any books, I am cranking out code for work and hot takes on hackernews for fun. I wish I had time to write a book, but I have often fantasized about writing math books for kids, especially parents homeschooling kids, but it could be anyone.
