Kyle's dad is the coach of your soccer team, right? Kyle's dad gets really really excited when you do well. He makes it fun, and you love going to practice! And you guys seem to win a lot!

Do you remember last year, when Mike's dad was the coach? He yelled a lot, you hated going to practice, he made you cry? And you never seemed to win?

Because Kyle's dad is a better coach, you win more. He's worth more to the team. Even though Kyle's dad isn't actually playing on the field, he makes you guys win. That's what a CEO does -- he makes a team win.
I believe they are. The article describes some of the graphics that were in the report. The description of title page graphic says it includes a cartoon corgi in a firefighter suit, putting out a fire. CORGI sounds like an internal system that helps with automatic moderation by detecting certain types of content or behavior.

Based on the table, HELLCAT seems like a keyword/sentiment analysis system that surfaces outliers (this group uses terms like "Mainstream Media (MSM)" at a higher average rate than a control group, etc).
Sure, but it's worth considering whether we should care about stepping on the right-holder's toes. That's what got us into corporate controlled speech, doxing, and twitter mobs in the first place. Read, people wouldn't do it if it weren't effective.

It probably wouldn't be -as- bad if in the US healthcare wasn't tied to employment. As it sits today, speaking your mind can literally be a death sentence, if you happen to say something a mob doesn't agree with.
I have sweaty skin and my success rate is at least as bad as yours. I confess to be very surprised at the love for TouchID here. I've used both TouchID and FaceID and I find the success rate of the latter to be much better. Perhaps we, dry and sweaty skins, are edge cases and most people apparently have 'normal' skin?

Thank for those details.

(And yes I get the arguments that "things could happen that are outside of our capacity to imagine" but while true at some levels it can only take you so far with fundamental finite properties like the number of elements in the periodic table and the compounds you can make with them)
Random Q: do I have a damaged/bent stylus if a certain record (Toots and the Maytals' Pressure Drop picture disc) goes silent at several different times? I checked the stylus force scale at the different test points, and it's right in the middle of the cartridge specs.

Every other record plays fine, except some new records play slow and/or some carve out a thin hair of lacquer/enamel the first time. This always makes me think some sort of damage is happening from a misaligned cartridge. But, other good quality and used records don't do this and work fine.

It's an AT microline cartridge.

I’m surprised every time I see anyone believe any claims made by Elon Musk at this point. He’s an excellent marketer with a clear business strategy - promise an exciting new technology (“Level 5 by 2018” [1], “wait actually 2021” [2]), take money for “pre-orders”. No need to deliver. Same idea with the 1 million robotaxis and a roadster by 2020, and the Cybertruck by 2021 [1]. I’m just surprised so few people have caught on. Maybe CEO of one of the largest tech companies in the world really is just “bad at estimating”, but if it’s a marketing/fundraising technique, it seems to be working. Not for the customers of course. Bummer for everyone who pre-ordered fairy dust.

Ahhh - literal. I was thinking figuratively
There are two significant complications:

1) Google is running many parallel ad campaigns, which may target the same individuals. This in some ways gives opportunities, because one can run 'natural experiments' on the effeciveness of advertising for X by simply selecting the people who never saw the ad for X. But there is also probably some legal peril; Google has to be careful about what promises it makes to people purchasing ads.

2) Google has very little incentive to release the results of any such studies, because -- whether or not advertising works -- they don't need their customers to have accurate side-info about the value of advertising.
> The effect was seen over the US after 9/11 as far as i remember.

There was a study that claimed that but there's a second study that claims general cloud cover was a confounding factor not controlled for that explains the actual result:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_dimming#Contrails_and_c...

Even with a full set of airplanes in the air contrails are a tiny minority of the cloud cover. Seems pretty hard for them to have any visible impact. Aerosols in general are another matter all together. Those are all over the atmosphere and it wouldn't be surprising if they had a large effect as they accumulate.
As an apple tv user, it has been trained into me that voice commands are Global unless specifically in the search field (not just the search screen). I fuck this up all the time.

What is naturally intuitive to me is to go to an app and anywhere in that app have a voice search specific for that app, as Google is requesting of Roku.
Ramsey Theory Applications
The trouble I have is that you have to start with a certain selfishness of wanting to improve your social skills even if it makes other people's days worse.

Like I'm not the most charismatic guy, and I know that if I try to make any sort of non-trivial conversation with someone I don't know well I will make them uncomfortable. Men will be bored or think I'm crazy, women will think I'm hitting on them, and I don't really feel comfortable using them as guinea pigs for my social development.

I'm all for pushing past my personal comfort zone to better myself, but when my self-improvement comes at the expense of others I can't help but hesitate.
The JVM is actually the most “eco-friendly” out of the high level language platforms.
This is simply wrong. I frequently see comments on comment downvoting causing a reconsideration and reopening of closed discussions, resulting in discussion value.

Whether this was achieved or not in this case is debatable, but that doesn't nullify the base premise. (OTOH, quoting forum rules is almost universally boring. ;))
I wonder if there are any (food) safety concerns blasting high powered lazers at living tissue.
Now you're taking up a fair bit of front of the phone real estate (and adding some cost) for a feature that I'm guessing most people don't care about. [ADDED: As others note there are potentially other options though that don't involve putting the home button back.]

It was, yes. The SDK for App Tracking permissions has been there since 14.0. The change in 14.5 is that using the new APIs (and getting user permission) is now mandatory.
But the case is about a school punishing her for it. I mean, sure, YOU can choose to ignore this 14 year old as irrelevant satire, but the school can't. Taking kids' communication seriously and teaching them how to interact with the broader world in a civil way is literally what schools are for.

And that includes incentives like punishing them when they act like an asshole. The question is whether this mandate schools have (which we all agree they have!) extends outside school grounds, and how far.

Now, maybe it does and maybe it doesn't (I for one am a little conflicted here and don't have a clear opinion). But whether it does or not has nothing to do with whether we should take student speech "seriously".
The headline is purposely vague and sensationalist.

The TL;DR is that Facebook mistakenly published an internal report on an internal board, then upon realizing it, restricted its access.
If you use the dashboard app switcher (iirc the F3 or F4 key), it hides .app in that list, it has a search field and I believe it accepts drag-and-drops.

That’s not exactly an answer to your question, but there’s a chance it’s an acceptable solution, so duly noted.
I was responding to the above assertion that the voluntary nature of the program is relevant, in regards to the situation in the parent comment. I wasn't referring to the case in the top-level post.

Cleaning with glue seems like much more of a hassle than using something like a SpinClean.

If you want to thoroughly clean a vinyl record though, then an ultrasonic cleaner is the way to go (it is expensive though).
these lamps are more sophisticated and cost more to make

Actually, they're simpler than a lot of other LED lamps, because they're not dimmable and use only a capacitor to limit current followed by a small post-regulator.

The driving electronics often fails before the LEDs, but they've minimised that with these.

Yes, a good train system is better than cars or busses, I agree. But SkyTran is better in nearly every way than trains. Higher capacity, lower cost, faster speeds, easier to clean, lower energy use. Trains are outdated. We need something better.

Key quote:

> “The authors never intended to publish this as a final document to the whole company," a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement. "They inadvertently published it to a broad audience and they simply restricted it to the internal working group it was intended for."

I don't have proof of this, but I strongly suspect that either tinder creates fake profiles or they do a piss poor job of removing fake profiles from their site.

why?

Its hard to tell in the US, but it areas with strong sectarian separation, you see profiles that are just "weird" if not fake.

I.e. I'm in Israel. if I see a profile of someone who wrote their name in hebrew (and a jewishy name at that), but it says they went to Al Quds University it just doesn't make sense. Is it possible? sure, i guess, but it would seem more probable that someone just sicked a profile generator choosing random universities in the general area with pictures from the internet.
You're hugely misreading my intentions. I'm an engineer: I see something unexpected, I want to figure out what's happening. You and I are both using the same software and you're seeing problems that I didn't even know affected some people. I'm not saying "this works for me so I don't know what you're complaining about". I'm saying "huh, this works for me. I wonder what's different between our systems? Is this something that's going to spontaneously start affecting me if I click the wrong toggle somewhere?"

Obviously the problem is possible. It's happening to you. I'd like to find out why so that I can troubleshoot and fix the problem if it starts happening to me or my friends or coworkers. And really, I'd like to help you fix it, too, if I could figure out what's causing it.
When is speech, art, culture not political?
About a year ago I seriously considered rolling everything back on my homepage to HTML 2.0, given that was the last one with an actual RFC, though 4.01 had a decent specification.
Thank you for the clarification I was missing out on that part of it.
In my day to day work, if you showed me a noisy graph of a periodic signal measured over some 1/10th to 1/10000th of a typical cycle period, I would tell you that you don't have nearly enough data to establish a trend. Especially when the underlying phenomena are chaotic, complex, impossible to model accurately, and incompletely understood.

I also believe that the orthodoxy is overly negative. Who's to say that earth won't be better off with the newly arable northern latitudes? The OP seems to indicate a trend toward increasing rainfall as well - and plants thrive in increased CO2 environments.

Then there is the supposed looming socioeconomic catastrophy as sea levels rise and displace coastal inhabitants. That also sounds like positive economic churn to me, especially if you go by the metric of GDP. This will be a gradual migration over 50-100 years and potentially a boon for various economies - jobs for infrastructure and construction.

I'm just not sold on the idea that the world is ending (literally or figuratively) if we don't act.

Situation is really bad in India. Lost my friend ( age 35) & mentor (age 56).

My family was taking all precautions Mask/Sanitizer/social distancing/Not eating outside/ No social gathering but got infected recently. My mother have got 1 dose of vaccine but still got Covid. She is having fever since last 3 days but all doctors are advising to stay at home.

Thankfully my brother recoved after a week, but I am afraid for my father. His one lung was punctured in a accident and he have liver problem. If he get the virus, he won't survive. :(

I am in different continent and can't do anything to help my family. If I travel, I would be putting them in more risk.

This variant of virus, is more contagious and have high mortality rate compared to last year.
This comment resonates with me so much. I remember learning how to program, as an adult, and having an epiphany about all those times my teachers wrote f(x) and then proceeded to write some hodgepodge of numbers and letters. No one had ever explained why I would ever need some function for x to spit out something else and so I was sort of lost from the very beginning when it came to any kind of high level math. Ditto for sets and pairs. Basically all of my math education was a complete waste until I learned a bit of computer programming and could play around with implementing the abstract concepts and relate those concepts to practical uses. Then suddenly it all made so much more sense!
I think some (not all) of the changes outlined in the post make some degree of sense, but the overall tone of the blog post just comes off as incredibly condescending
Grid is way better than flexbox. All hail CSS-Grid.
Yes. For one thing you can buy stuff with it because it is legal tender for all debts. For another thing the value is mostly the same from day to day. You're not going to go buy bread today and have it be 10% more expensive than it was yesterday, or 30% less expensive next week.

Cryptocurrencies are not currencies. Bitcoin might be priced at $63,000 today (or $48,000 or 53,000 or oops 30,000 tomorrow?) but it's worth is $0.

>> first party software updates are frequently only available for 1-2 year

Bingo, that is the planned obsolesce part. too many people here are focusing on physical viability, not software viability.

From a security standpoint, if it is out of support it is a brick, and the number of vulnerabilities that are discovered on these devices NO ONE should be running a mobile computer with current updates

So sure the device may physically still turn on, and you can still "use" it, it is not something I would recommend.
Works on my iOS13 iPad, where there are 4-5 on that page that don’t.
There is a very real distinction between high and low level languages. And C++ is a nice low level language, but you wouldn’t write a CRUD app in it that changes requirements multiple times a week, because it is simply non-trivial to refactor, due to low level details leaking.
This is an incredibly great idea.

No. Wealth inequality is capital concentration. What you're saying is that rain causes rain. In actuality what causes wealth inequality is corruption. The financial sector has been extracting wealth from the people since the 70s. That's what causes wealth inequality.

Interesting I wonder how it deals with the case of e.g. someone giving their phone to another person (e.g. spouse) who then uses the passcode. I guess they could try and work out if it is a variation of the same person or if it is someone else entirely.
I'm not really sure what you're arguing, I didn't say "infinite inflation" is good lol. Monetary appreciation only helps the buying power of people who already have money. A deflationary environment explicitly benefits creditors. It would be very difficult for a newcomer to get buying power, leveraged or otherwise, in your proposed monetary environment. Much like it's difficult for newcomers to buy large amounts of bitcoin.
> As it sits today, speaking your mind can literally be a death sentence, if you happen to say something a mob doesn't agree with.

Ridiculous hyperbole. First, because it imagines that people get killed for tweets, and second because it hilariously invokes the idea that this is a new thing. You genuinely don't think people have been persecuted for opinions in the past? Let me get my dead buddy Galileo to drop a few rocks on your head.

Likewise McCarthyism, etc... Objectively free expression of inconvenient conservative ideas in the US has never been cheaper, freer, easier or more pervasive than it is RIGHT NOW. Good grief, just look at your own posts. You don't look like someone afraid of being killed by a mob.
IE usage is under 1% now. It's really only used by people for accessing specific legacy apps and internal websites. Microsoft is ending support for it.

There is no longer any reason developers building general-audience websites, web apps, or libraries should care about IE support. It's not part of the general conversation anymore.

You only need to cater to IE if you're a developer on one of those legacy sites, or maintain a library that has been around for so long it's still actively used by those legacy sites.
> as soon as existing clients break it's a new major version

How do you know when this happens? You don't have integration tests with all of your clients. What if they break because of some insane dependency on your internal behavior. Let's say that they rely on your API taking >100ms to respond in all cases and you optimize things so now it returns in 50ms most of the time. Is that a breaking change?

Clients will always always always find a way to depend on every single observable behavior of your system. This makes everything a breaking change, given enough users.
It probably is, yes. This link (which is not directly related to NOAA's article) has more information:

Free Speech precisely means freedom from consequences. That phrase is perhaps the most insidious phrase that is often repeated on the internet. To believe that free speech should be met with "consequences" if it crosses some line is illiberal, and immoral. The principle of free speech is one we all ought to attempt to live up to, and that principle goes far beyond what the first amendment may protect.

Take that phrase to its logical extent. Should certain speech mean imprisonment? Should it mean execution by the government? Alienation and banishment from society? Attacked and lynched by a mob? What about political affiliation? Philosphical or religious beliefs? Those are all consequences that have, and are used against people who exercise their natural rights. Those are the natural outcomes of limiting free speech. Limiting free speech is the end of a free, liberal society.
