OK I am not a racist. Let me just affirm that. Here is my question- what if the tenets of racism - that race is tied in some fundamental way to a profile of abilities and deficits- is right? It's a possible world. Ethnically Jewish people could just be born with more verbal ability than whites. That is not impossible.

My point is this. By demanding a world in which some things cannot even be spoken of (except by critics) you're amputating our ability to know reality.

If people with your opinion in the 1800s had achieved the type of dominion over others you now seek, there would not be womens right and there would not be gay rights and there would not be equal rights.

The built-in assumption of your post is- we have reached a point of final knowledge about the physical universe and what is and is not possible in it. All further inquiries are a sort of crime.

I'd say there's a mismatch between the product and its distribution.

So you want to sell USB drives with an all-integrated OS. The main specific target for that is someone with a computer but unable/unwilling to download a distro and write their own USB.

Someone in those circumstances is very unlikely to go: yeah, I'll look in the internet and see if I can buy a USB with a distro for my computer. They probably don't know it is even possible.

Now, if these drives show up in a flea market promising to resurrect your old computer... How does that sound?

This post is essentially a funding pitch for Spotify. I talks a lot about they are going to try and kill the open podcast ecosystem but no evidence that they are making any progress. The podcast ecosystem is very different from other media markets-- it started open, it grew up open, and people are actually willing to directly pay content producers either for bonus content, to avoid ad reads, or just to keep the train chugging along.
I immediately unsub from any podcast where there is some jarring dynamic ad insertion. I've watch all of the once great Gimlet podcasts wither, and some die since their acquisition.

Yea there is a market for the low-est common denominator stuff like low-brow true crime stuff and the joe rogans, but I don't see those as competition, either for sponsors or ears to the healthy, robust, mature open podcast ecosystem.

I think there is varying degrees of craziness with audiophiles and then they all get lumped together making them look worse.

For example you have the Japanese audiophiles spending 100,000 on speakers but live in a 10x10 room, or install power lines as they say they can hear the difference.

Audio reaches diminishing returns pretty quickly, you aren't going to see massive audio gains by upping your budget from $2,000 to $20,000 but you will by going from $200 to $2,000. At a certain point you are paying for a sound curve that suits you over the end all be all music reproduction.

A lot of stuff is getting cheaper too with good class D amplifiers with very low distortion being available to DIY and custom builders for relatively cheap (as long as you aren't in the class D is garbage audiophile crowd, which I think is similar to the my $1,000 dollar wire is better than your $50 dollar wires).

You need to first become a domain expert in some area. Then try to look for problems and areas of improvement in that domain. Notice what kinds of problem users are having and what solutions may already exist. Get involved in the ecosystem surrounding that domain. This will be a source of inspiration and ideas for a solution that you can build. The next step is to build a prototype as fast as possible and get it in front of users you think will get value out of it and see if they will actually pay for the prototype. Keep iterating and try to grow business from there.

"I'll never understand anti-gentrifiers."

I think the main point is being forced out of your life-long home due to increased costs or taxes. Or the destruction of the local cultures/customs through change in local government policies. If you want an extreme example, you can look at the way that cult in Oregon took over a county/town in the 80s or 90s. Nothing legally wrong with it (the population segment with the highest numbers won; not talking the biological attack), but it did make the existing residents subject to their will and angry.

The whole situation (on both sides) was mostly out of a lack of acceptance for other people and their life choices. I think we see this same sort of paradigm with people wanting changes that benefit them but might be detrimental to others in their "communities" (we don't really act like neighbors anymore) without meaningful discussion.

Alberta has a population of 4 million people. 1,595 hospitalized and 41 deaths will simply strike many people as insignificant against that population, too small to justify lifestyle changes like wearing a mask. Considering how even during this time of COVID, many people have been observing restrictions only because they were warned the healthcare system might collapse (and thus affect them, too), not because they felt a drive to save every single life – and now that vaccines are being rolled out and the largest danger seems to have passed, masks are coming off left and right.

capital one are experts in underwriting subprime consumer debt and seems like they know how to evaluate risk for the most profitable credit products in the market. Won't be suprised if they use suite of ML/DL, although banking regulations discourage using black-box models for anything banking, and requires models to be explainable and free of possible biases.

Looks like a very interesting field to work as an applied ML/DL researcher (explainability, white-box vs black-box, bias, etc)

I don't really consider these things "podcasts" anymore.

There are a couple (imo, "real") podcasts I subscribe to and pay for, but I pay the creators directly and they generally self-host the files.

It sort of sounds like you answer your own question (/hypothesis): consolidation of industry. Which also seems to be a pretty big driver in wealth inequality. I've no idea what the correct response is here -- greater regulation to increase competition, so that there are more smaller players across any given industry? Who knows.
Sure, that's a natural way of reading this requirement, but is it the right way? How would you specify the system such that it can produce:

(that is, any interleaving of the two blinks that preserves the constraint that there is at least one blink in each "step")

We’ve seen a taste of it, I agree with that. But there are a few major ways I see that this isn’t a fair test of UBI:

1) Indoor work is still unsafe, which is messing with the labor markets and making it hard to start a new business

2) If you get a job or side income you lose your benefits

3) The benefits are temporary so you can’t plan around them.

But anecdotally my fiancé was able to start a small business during the pandemic. And unemployment benefits helped.

Does your intervention have a control group? Did the residents of Vail, CO circa 1950 wish they could trade their fate for that of nearby Minturn, with similar geography and no ski resort?

Regardless, the geographical narrative is not quite the same. Silver City or Prescott Valley aren't going to run out of space like an alpine creek junction or barrier island/moraine. Water is a different story.

The question is ultimately whether newcomers will participate in the town's development or in its decline, via interactions with the local community, politics, schools et cetera. Just because we built segregated communities over the last century doesn't mean we have to do it for the next one.

Been there. If Mitchell or anyone else on the core team doesn't want a feature to work a certain way, or feels that a bug isn't a bug, or maybe they want to wait until the next big release to look at something, tough luck for us. I suppose I have to become a Terraform developer in my spare time, and then I only need to spend years fighting the corporation that owns it over how to design it to actually function the way humans need it to.

Terraform doesn't look for existing resources. It doesn't properly plan for new values. It doesn't have a convention to define resources that can or can't be used idempotently. It doesn't support modern deployment methods. It doesn't make a best effort to fix things even when it clearly can detect what the solution or user's intent is. It can't auto import resources, even when it knows that something already exists, and it won't remove something in its own state when you're trying to import it, even though you clearly want to replace what's in state with what you're importing. And it's a monolith, so it's not like we can change small parts to fix our use cases.

There's no amount of GitHub issues or mailing lists that will fix all this crap. Some of it is poor functionality, some of it is buggy functionality, and some of it is just bad design. It needs to be redesigned, and its components separated so they can be replaced or improved as needed, without editing Go code or a DSL.

But mainly, it needs to work the way humans need it to work in production. Not the way a bunch of idealistic devs think is theoretically the best way. "Just don't ever touch an AWS account at all by any means other than Terraform. What's so hard about that?" Nobody who has an actual live product used by customers [for money] could possibly survive this way without hours of outages and weeks of delays. If your tool is designed for an impossible scenario, then it's impossible to use it "properly".

Huh? I see very few designs, products, or interfaces with honest “minimalism”.

This is super interesting to me.

Several comments to this thread show that the poster is mixing up the will to power with a specific value system.

The will to power--and the skills to go with it--are a pure good in my mind. It's the stuff let makes babies get up and learn to walk. It's the curiosity that makes kids ask "why?" about everything in the world. It's the fire in humanity that let us put 7+ Billion on this little blue planet while generating amazing standards of living for so many of them.

That will to power can be aimed at whatever target you choose. If Porshe's and Gucci bags and trophy wifes, okay. It can just as easily be a good-paying job that puts a roof over your head and feeds your family, while leaving you plenty of time to be present in everyone's life. It can easily be starting a charity that feeds the homeless or shelters battered women.

The will to power--and the skills that go with it--are the ability to shape your world in to whatever you want. There's nothing in there that forces you to pick ugly shapes.
It’s not premature optimization, it’s just boilerplate because it’s a pattern that happens so often.

Besides, there’ll be less work if the requirements do in fact change, and there’s nothing wrong with accounting for the possibility of change when you’re writing code because what you write now constrains what you can write in the future.
This is also the height of anti-immigrant fervor in the United States. This is 9 years after the Johnson-Reed Act (Immigration Act of 1924) [1], which basically tried to ban all immigration from Asia.

There is a great Hasan Minhaj episode that showed how Asian populations in the US owe their presence a lot to the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which passed during the Civil Rights era [2, 3].

Race is a socially constructed category. The idea that someone is a different "race" just because they look different is not supported by biology. In all metrics there is more variation within a group than between groups. So the "tenets of racism" have been decisively disproven many times over.

The problem with defeating these in the marketplace of ideas, so to speak, is that their propagation has nothing to do with logic. People who believe them would find a way to dismiss any logical counterargument. The only way to squash it, arguably, is to prevent it.

Not to mention the fact that people who are targeted by these ideas, which deny their humanity, are going to feel hurt and excluded in any space that allows it. So preventing that from happening is a real-time, concrete concern.

> Ask for your a copy of your contract before you decide

Hmmm, usually when I change jobs it goes like this: apply for job -> receive offer letter -> make decision -> sign offer letter -> give notice -> wait out last two weeks -> sign a bunch more stuff on the first day of the job or during the last two weeks, usually including what I think of as the contract. I could be wrong, I'm trying to be more conscious of these things.

It seems like in this scenario, you might get hit with this info after you've turned in your notice with your current job. Did they really let you see everything you needed to sign before you turned in your notice? Is that a normal request?
> As a human being you are entitled to personal time.

I wonder about this in 2021. Social media and ubiquitous recording has changed what seems like an obvious truth into something more complex. A company employee badmouthing customers? A police officer who posts something racist? Attending a political demonstration? An employee who's working on a competing product in their spare time?

I don't have answers to these, but somewhere, the line became blurry.
If you're basing your argument of the gender precedence of 'guys' on 'Guys and Dolls', I think I'm comfortable in my opinion that this is a made up problem.

Sure do. And they recognised that those problems were their own that they needed to overcome. Not insist that everyone else change to accommodate them.
blue lives matter is essentially a racist slogan given the context that its responding to "black lives matter" which is about, among other things, black people being murdered by police
