I wonder if that's because there's no short way to describe FLoC in a way that makes it sound bad for users. They'd need one paragraph to introduce FLoC, then another three making nuanced arguments about how it's actually worse than the status quo, and only then could they get to the core post about not supporting it.

Better to avoid that fire and just let the reader infer FLoC is bad, whatever it is.

I don't believe that is the case. AI has always been in the realm of math and computer science. And the researchers fired was researching only the ethics of it. A lot of researchers are apolitical and only there for the challenge or the pay.

If anything, I think what happens deters investment in AI ethic research. For Google, it has only produced bad PR without any value to their influence and market value in the AI community.

Edit: Also Google's strategy of giving away a production level AI library like Tensorflow has basically locked up their status in the AI community for years to come.
I really never understood this whole Gebru situation and it sounds like there is bad behavior on both sides.

The bad behavior by Google is pretty well available online.

Yet no one is talking about the fact that they hired Gebru to make these changes. All it seems they asked from her was not publicly slander the company that was paying her to do exactly what she wanted. Then Google claims she quit which should be provable and she claims she was fired which also should be provable. Yet I've seen no proof of either.

While I can see why some wouldn't want to use an "or later" license, I don't think it is near as big a deal as you make it out to be.

While you are granting the FSF the ability to relicense your code, they only have the ability to re-license your existing code. As it is already under the current version of the license, if you do not like the new version, you can simply stop using it for future additions. If I license something under "GPLv2 or later", and the FSF releases GPLv3 that is the SSPL, I can simply keep using my existing code under GPLv2. If the FSF releases GPLv3 and it is CC0, then I can once again keep using my code under GPLv2. In either of these cases, I don't have use the new version of the license on new versions of the software. While the existing software is always "GPLv2 or later", later additions can be "GPLv2 only".

An "or later" license allows for making my license compatible with future versions of the GPL. Personally, I see this as a good thing.

If you've already had the virus, and had only mild symptoms from it, what additional level of protection does the vaccine confer?

Do you still really need to get the vaccine in that case?

The CDC says yes, but their reasoning is purely based on FUD: "experts do not yet know how long you are protected from getting sick again".

According to the available data, there has been only 71 confirmed cases of reinfection out of over 137,000,000 cases.[1]

Meanwhile, states in the US are reporting hundreds of "breakthrough cases" of fully vaccinated people.

So, the data we have indicates naturally gained immunity is stronger than vaccinated immunity.

It's funny how many people treat nuanced, data driven discussion like this as heresy to be shamed and censored.

They would if they caught it and had severe symptoms.
We don't. Vaccines are monitored, called phase 4 trials. Taking place after approval. No vaccine was tested for decades before approval. It is only that development and approval takes longer, in case of the Covid vaccines approval red tape was cut. And not trials.
> Caution here is the logical and ethical thing.

In this pandemic, inaction costs lives. The logical and ethical thing to do is evaluate the cost/benefit and choose the path that kills fewer people. You wouldn't say "we should exit the burning house one at a time in case we get hit by a meteor outside, caution here is the logical and ethical thing"; you're making the same kind of logical error, just with a less-absurd difference between the risk of the two options we need to choose between.

Maybe I can rephrase the title in a more objective way:

Google has lost some shine among people who wish to find bias and make an inflated political situation out of any act that happens to touch gender/race/class -- whether through the research itself, or the "meta" issues about whether someone was advanced/demoted/fired/hired for discussions about such topics. The company is decreasing its internal cultural desire to swing back and forth with every political movement and attract difficult attention that makes working there less productive.

For those researchers who aren't crusading to make an example out of a tech company, and who don't care to bring college-level activism and risk into their employment, it remains a fine place to work.

You are already being taxed on the returns of your capital through capital gains tax (or income tax in some cases).

This is why wealth tax is redundant as it's fairer to instead just increase the capital gains tax rate.

There are cases where you can own high value assets which can't be monetized. For example you might inherit a derelict house worth millions due to its historical value.

You end up with an astronomical tax bill every year even though you might have no income.

My understanding is that vaccination (in general, not just for COVID) does not prevent viruses from getting into you, taking over cells, and using them to make and spread more viruses.

What it does is train and prime your body's defenses so that they will be able to get the invaders under control and then eliminate them before they have done enough damage to make you sick (in most cases before you even notice that this is happening).

You can still pass the infection to other people while that is happening. You won't pass it as effectively as someone who is not vaccinated would, because your infection will be milder and you won't be producing as many copies of the virus to spread.

When enough people are vaccinated, and so are less effective at passing on an infection, the rate of spread should fall below the level needed for the pandemic to be self-sustaining.

A good way to think of it is that there are two reasons one might take a given protective measure from COVID: (1) to prevent yourself from getting sick, and (2) to prevent others from getting sick.

Getting vaccinated addresses #1. You should still mask and distance to address #2 until enough people are vaccinated.

3 frames would be a pretty stark limitation. When Figma says “pages” I assume they are referring to their “page” object, which allows you to have multiple separate workspaces per document. Limiting documents without limiting pages would be too easy to work around, so it’s clear why they had to do it.

I believe you can still have unlimited frames.
A lot of public messaging on COVID appears driven by "humans are incapable of nuance", which I suppose I can't entirely fault them for.

Ooh, that hits in a soft place for me.

Therein lies all of the angst, unsettledness, and general escapisms of this post, and more probably the world. I've seen the happiest people on earth do so very little compared to traditional 'success,' because they mastered what they 'valued' first... then pursued it relentlessly.

Here's piece from Hunter S. Thompson (don't know if you really want to emulate all of his teachings), that gets at the heart of this values orientation:

"The answer—and, in a sense, the tragedy of life—is that we seek to understand the goal and not the man. We set up a goal which demands of us certain things: and we do these things. We adjust to the demands of a concept which CANNOT be valid. When you were young, let us say that you wanted to be a fireman. I feel reasonably safe in saying that you no longer want to be a fireman. Why? Because your perspective has changed. It’s not the fireman who has changed, but you."

The problem is the costs of content moderation are not linear. You are not dealing with a few thousand trolls. You're dealing with bot farms impersonating possibly over a million accounts. Huge groups of networks operated by just a few dozen people.

Automating that away is the only path to being on equal footing. If you introduce any human element, not only will it be a bottleneck, but the cost could be large enough to bankrupt even the largest companies.

We are lying to ourselves, and we are doing it through colonialization writ large, once again. People who use Twitter and Facebook seem to be completely unaware that thousands of content moderators in the Philippines are being subjected to images of utter depredation and cruelty by the minute because we refuse to take responsibility ourselves. History will not look well on what we did to these these heroic underpaid people. I do not blame Mark Zuckerberg, whom I despise. He is doing this with our full consent.

In my view the only proper way to handle content moderation is that every user of these “free“ social media platforms over the age of 18 should should be required to moderate some proportion every month to understand what’s actually going on.
> The fact that he's a well-known figure doesn't excuse him from the privilege of being a human who learns

being a well-known leader does convey a certain expectation of emotional maturity and moderation. Hyperbolic and mercurial individuals are generally considered to be a poor fit for leadership positions.

Yes, it may be human nature to react emotionally, but this is something most people grow out of at a fairly young age, and we certainly expect our leaders to be reasoned and measured about their reactions.

Yes, default environment is the browser, that's a given and that's fine: if you are a beginner, making stuff happen there is easy and rewarding. Everyone has easy access to it

[I apologise for being a little snippy here]. I don't have an issue here: I don't think you & sibling commenters are really getting that these are beginners I'm talking about. Yes, I am aware of async/await. With the browser being the default environment, a beginner has to understand callback-related programming with JS quickly: they need to be able to say "I want to do this then this". You have do this via callbacks. You can write JS synchronously, but IME this isn't practical.

Using async/await isn't some magic bullet here. You can write synchronous-looking asynchronous code, but the level I'm talking about is: what does asynchronous mean? What does synchronous mean? Once they've got that (which is not simple), what's a Promise? That one's fun because you need to explain the concept and how they work first, and generally that's gibberish. Async/await helps, so say I ignore Promises and go straight to that. At which point the learner starts getting errors to do with unresolved values. And back to Promises we go. And so on.

I would say that I don't think there's any magic language that makes things easy for learners, and JS has many advantages over any other one, mainly to do with its general accessibility. But it's a fairly weird language in how it works, it isn't the simplest.

As is typical for this comment thread, in this comment I will claim that pausing the Johnson & Johnson vaccine will lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths because that is how many people will die if we do not have a vaccine.

I would in addition like to point out that once cannot simply compare the risks because they can vary wildly across populations, and that the one out of seven million might not be a reliable estimate. Might it not be good to wait until we know the actual risk, given also the abundance of other types of vaccine?
