We're all just really smart monkeys here, and communication is complicated. "He's always trying to fix things when I just want to talk" is this same interaction just in a home context. Same communication error. There's a gap, you're saying "Do you know, at this moment, how to do this" to which the answer is clearly no. However, men are hearing "Can you solve this problem for me". Giving you back the keyboard means admitting that I failed to fix it.

EDIT: In my head, I feel like you've given up on the idea that I can help you, and you're probably going to go find someone smarter and more competent than me. In this context, a guy who doesn't want to give the keyboard back is afraid of admitting failure.
Sure but this will not help the actual “employee cheats” problem :) just buy that cheap android phone, leave it in the locker, and set a network scheduler app up to enable/disable at specific times so it doesn’t look like the device is there all the time.

Also if these cheap Android phones exist and are usable, you’re contradicting yourself when saying it can’t be provided by the employer. They could allow employee to expense the device.
I vaguely remember Applescript used to be internationalized a long time ago.

The keywords would display in different languages.

That said, why can't other languages be internationalized, maybe in the editor?

I think it would be fun to program in spanish.

Really, I think some twitter accounts are more vapid feel-good nuggets than actual advice (including this one)

I've checked the thread and while there's some materiality to it, it's not anything I haven't heard elsewhere. I'm also wary of founders that might have "gotten lucky" (a weak project in SV is much easier to get financed than a more solid project elsewhere), I'm skeptical of that founder's current project (looks too niche to be sustainable)
> There are zero cases in that group and even just a small delay will mean many dead.

Not really. AZ is a small fraction of the total vaccines being deployed in Denmark.

> For what would most likely result in zero side effects in the elderly group.

The elderly group is almost fully vaccinated because they were prioritized; allowing AZ to go forward with that group would have no meaningful effect on the delay in overall vaccination completion, or its expected impacts. This is explicitly noted in the article as part of the reason Denmark.made the decision.
You are right but you need to substitute "proof of work" for "crypto" when you talk about energy hogs. Proof of Stake is also crypto and does not need to guzzle power.
But didn't the expert write the paper? how do I trust what's in that paper anyway? Shouldn't I replicate the results myself first before I make any changes to my beliefs? But then again, how do I trust my own results, someone could have tainted them, or the experiment itself could include bias or just be poorly constructed to eliminate confounding variables, which would of course result in an outcome that isn't useful!

A better option would be to eschew certainty. Stop trying to "know" things, and get comfortable making decisions based on an incomplete understanding of information.

It's really this obsession with certainty that keeps getting people into trouble.
> So is that why we need to suffer a lingua franca that does not map 1:1 spoken and written?

I think the fact that it is a lingua franca is one of the main reasons keeping any spelling reform from occurring actually. It's in far too wide-spread use and there isn't any centralize authority that would do the spelling reform. Maybe take solace in the likely fact that it written English and spoken English will probably only be _more_ different as time goes forward. In other words, you have it easier than all future generations.

Also as much as spelling matching pronunciation is a convenience, it isn't really necessary. The variety of spoken Chinese languages using the same characters is greater than the spoken romance languages. Maybe English really slowly becoming more character-like over time. There are languages that can undergo spelling reforms, and there are languages people actually use.
I don’t really care what it is called and what format it comes with, but understanding the why of a task is crucial to me. There is a good chance that I over- or under-engineer otherwise. And understanding it I can often come up with simpler more maintainable results than if someone imposes the solution on me without talking about the problem.

Also spec-only development is horribly boring in my opinion.
Like a lot of bubbles, there is FOMO and lack of understanding of the technology. It is easy to compare crypto to the internet. When the internet first started out a lot of people didn't invest in GOOG because it was not obvious where the revenue would come from.

People are afraid of making the same mistake here as well. "I don't know how BTC will generate cashflow outside of being a Ponzi scheme, but I assume the technology will advance and revolutionize finance" so they buy.
So far all of the comments here are just dances around how we perform business analysis. It is a role, is it a process, will we split it into pieces in our workflow, will we do it along with a prototype?

You imply good will of bitcoin miners. Once it becomes big enough for state actors, people in power will burn the Amazon forest or dry up entire rivers to mine bitcoin. Our civilization is all about ruthless greed and bitcoin exploits this nicely.

This was a mistake. If authorities were going to be lying about masks anyway, the message should have been that they protect the wearer. People care more about themselves than they do about strangers.

Because it’s a very small amount of money relative to the impact of the pandemic. Even if these vaccines only added 1% to the fight against the pandemic they’d be worth it. This is another expression of the “penny wise, pound foolish” decision-making process that led to the EU being last in lines for the vaccines in the first place.

Do you drive a car? Do you eat red meat? Do you burn fossil fuels or rely on any kind of electricity? Well done. We are all subsidizing your risky lifestyle.

When you are willing to retire to a plot of land and live entirely upon it, including starving each winter, then you may throw stones at "subsidizing" other people's risky behavior. Until then, you don't get to pick and choose which behavior we subsidize and which we do not.

Alternatively, we can pass a law that says citizens can choose which kinds of risky behavior they are willing so subsidize with their taxes.
It's a good question. From what I've seen a lot of it has to do with their network and the founder's ability to sell the narrative that what they're building is something no one else can build and/or execute. In those early days of a startup investors look at the team more closely than the product. If you're able to show that you're focused on revenue from day one it tends to shift the leverage. Very few investors are funding ideas anymore.
Well the google case put a huge dent in the prevailing idea that Maximum value / profit is the constitutional purpose.

The court clearly held that profitability alone should not be a factor.
Lots of things are ill mannered or unkind yet have little in common with a protection racket. His point is that people are going to engage in risky behavior regardless and we have the choice to attempt to mitigate the consequences or just stick our hands in the sand.

"Due process means only a court can judge there to be probable cause, and that a search can only be done after it issues a warrant. A court would never rule probable to exist based on the type of formulaic rationale you're using."

Except they can (in practice and in contradiction to rules), and have done similar things in the past. The system really doesn't care about people's rights, mistakes are endemic and ignored, and it is more interested punishing people or collecting money than actual justice. At least that has been my experience.
Also, in the USA, truth is an absolute defense to a defamation claim. The burden of proof is on the plaintiff to prove that the speaker was wrong, and further, in most cases, that the speaker should have known that it was wrong.

People like to talk about "defamation", but in America the bar is so high that it's only rarely applicable.
Global wealth is $400T. All crypto currency combined is worth about ~$2T at this point. So to store 0.5% of the world's wealth, we are using 0.6% of the world's energy.

Banks obviously don't use anywhere near this much energy. Bitcoin is estimated to use more energy than all other server farms put together.

So we are using 0.6% of the world's energy to store 0.5% of the world's wealth. And < 0.6% of the world's energy to store the other 99.5% of the world's wealth.

Doesn't seem like the ideal wealth storage technology.

> having yet another weird cryptocurrency is not the right solution though.

Maybe we disagree on the problem. From the US one of the most convenient solutions is Xoom; in my experience the turnaround is around 24-48 hours depending on the country and institution that's receiving funds. First there is a transaction fee, I usually pay $3 - this seems to be flat so 3% if I'm sending $100 and 1% if I'm sending $300 (I've sent $300 maybe once, more commonly I need to send <$100). Then they double dip by using a favorable exchange rate. I would be surprised if we can't do this better with crypto (note I am not a huge crypto supporter in its current state)
> The use of AI in the military is exempt, as are systems used by authorities in order to safeguard public security.

I'm fairly sure this excludes nearly 100% of the most risky uses of AI that exist today.
This is cute, up until the point where it starts reaching and makes changes which are important for the sound of the language.

The e in many words isn't silent, it's a modifier. Kit and kite are different words. "th", "z", "w", and "v" are all really different sounds. While certain accents (or children) do occasionally conflate them, in basically every case, it's technically incorrect. Zebra, Webra, Vebra, and Thebra are all totally different words to a native English speaker.

I'm absolutely behind the idea of simplified English where spelling and pronunciation match. But that's a lofty goal, as first one would have to canonize English, which is basically impossible at this point. Then they'd have to tackle homonyms, like cot and caught (assuming canonized English has these pronounced the same).
According to Wikipedia, it is illegal in the EU since 2006, and in Sweden since 1986 (and partly so in the US since 2017).

Are you claiming that Youtube is running psyops trying to cover up PhD research into WPA2 security? I don't want to distort your argument, I honestly don't get how you went from a WPA2 video being accidentally taken down to "this is intentional psychological warfare"...
How do you know that these technologies are detrimental to people's well-being?

Some activists claim that things like facial recognition, ad targeting, and personalized risk scoring are detrimental, but are these activists correct? I don't think so! All these technologies give us new capabilities and allow us to more precisely understand and shape the world.

Every single time humanity has gained new abilities --- from the Acheulean stone ax to the modern deep neural network --- humans in general have benefited and prospered, because any increase in our ability to understand and manipulate the world is a boon.

There is no such thing as a net-negative technology.
That's because historically it has been spelled both ways. I believe that even the artist himself was inconsistent. However, I'd read somewhere that he tended to sign his paintings with the single-n spelling, so that's what I went with for the plugin name.
These are completely fair compromises and I wish this attitude was more widespread. The discussion example in particular is why I bring up variability in teaching methods. In that setting, jotting down some occasional ideas is all you might need. Compare that to one of my former professors who quizzed us on his personal anecdotes from lecture and we have a complete different set of needs.

These studies annoy me because they insist that lectures are identical and “comprehension” is always poorly defined as some arbitrary exam of how many obscure details were memorized from a Powerpoint. At the end of the day, whether I’m transcribing on a laptop or visually representing ideas with watercolors is less important than how effectively a teacher happens to target my learning style. At some point we need to stop repackaging the Prussian model and insisting on the One True Way™ for students to learn.
Not at all. Now he has more buying power in the yard than anyone else.

He successfully managed to leverage market forces to create economic inequality and make himself 'rich' in the micro context he operated in.

Which is a great example for why great wealth is not a virtue, a 'free market' is not a savior, and why greater regulation and taxation on the super wealthy is acceptable - they got there by being, as you say, unbelievable assholes.
> They're choosing to let a large group risk severe disease or death through inaction, rather than pulling the lever and have a small group be at risk due to their actions.

I think your interpretation of the relative risks is wrong, but I’m open to seeing the calculations by which you come to this conclusion.
The compound rate is proportional to your balance. So if you do that you'll simply dilute your compounding.
Moreover, there wasn't just one or a few shifts: they happen all the time and there were plenty of them. Apparently a big discovery in etymology (in 19th century iirc, and I forget the guy's name) was that words mostly don't change pronunciation individually, but the same parts in different words change in the same way. Which allows to track those changes over time and thus backtrack how modern words should've sounded in the past.

This is why folk etymology usually misses the mark—since it focuses on single similar words that in fact often turn out to be unrelated. Also afaik spelling is irrelevant for etymology, at least until the very recent times.

I should say my view is closer to averagism when questions of utility start getting involved. But I believe utility is just one moral precept among others. Murder is disallowed no matter how much it might increase others' utility. And murder is murder regardless of pain, memories, or traces. On the other hand, choosing to have fewer or no children is easily justified. So is pursuing outcomes, such as education, that could cause people to choose to have fewer children on average.

Nuclear weapons are a huge net positive for humanity. Have we had another big industrial war since WWII? No. Why not? Because the combatants understand that nowadays total war means total annihilation. Now we resolve our disputes in other ways. Nuclear weapons gave us an age of peace.
It surely will pivot. Low-latency high-fidelity streaming doesn't come handy, and a lot of hard engineering work. But if worked, a lot of applications. Like you said, 100Gbps NIC between your data and video editor is much better than 1T fast local storage editing rig with 10Gbps NIC to the archive. Citrix worked really well in industries that need tighter control over your digital environment. Oculus Link just started to support WiFi, and would be cool if it can go over WAN.

There are some competitions, such as Parsec or Stadia, but if you can have an higher-frequency use case to iterate on, why not go with that?

I'm not talking about preexisting conditions. I'm talking about conscious choices people make that increase their risk level. I'm not telling you how to live your life, but if our care is funded from the same pool and you live a riskier life by choice, I don't think it's unfair for me to ask that you pay proportionally more.

If the outlined code is cold, the Icache benefits from this part bring skipped (because it's behind a new function call), so that more hot code is being cached.
Which could benefit a few percent speedwise, in my case more than 3%.

If it's hot, it's a bit slower, because you have the added fn call overhead. So better do that manually.
For .com, yes. All the single character .com domains that weren't in use(I think?) were moved to reserved long ago.
I wasn't trying to debate. I'm providing you a summary of what the general debate looks like after hundreds and hundreds of debates.

But let us take this post as a spring off point. You presume there is a baby. Both your posts illustrate this as an unquestioned axiom. However, I don't see a baby, it might well be a rat. It's down in the dirty water and I can't really identify it. The crux of the issue between us is then: 'Is there a baby, or something else?'. Which violates your axiom. Most people simply will not question their axioms. Which is when debate opponents start reaching for the, 'you're not qualified to have an opinion', 'your question is invalid', etc etc.

I'm not interested in debating the baby's potential eye color without first ascertaining the quality of the underpinnings of the system that declares a baby exists. I have found them to be rotten, mostly through smell as direct inspection is actively shunned. We don't really know it's actual state because academic science doesn't have systemic audits. The raw data, transforms and/or code/models are usually kept privately under tight wraps. This behavior is systemic. The generalized form of quality control in academic science is peer review, and my experience with quality systems is this is the bottom rung, the LOWEST form of quality check you can use that is actually a quality check.

If peer review is a good enough quality standard really depends on the product, customer, and the reputation my group desires to retain going forward. I think it's fine for low cost systems where schedule and budget are the customer's primary concerns. If something is of vital importance, I would demand higher levels of quality assurance than the lowest bar.

To sum up. If someone is declaring that there is an emergency. I consider this of vital importance! Thus, I find it perfectly reasonable to question the foundation until higher quality practices are in place to vet the entirety of the structure.
