I think, the spokes are a good approach, since these are actually objects recorded in time.

However, I think @gorgoiler [1] has made a valid point regarding the intersection of the "finish plane" and the plane recorded by the camera. (On the photo shown on your blog, the camera appears to be mounted slightly behind the finish line, thus, intersecting the "finish plane" at the ideal height, should point to just before the finish line at ground level. But there isn’t sufficient information in the photo to measure such a minimal angle, or to confirm, if there's any at all.)

Given that they are not necessarily the same, perhaps more accurate to say "So who crossed the finish line first?" in your article? We know who won.

Viewpoints collapse into religion/politics, it takes a lot of philosophical literacy to prevent this.
> the assumption that 'viewpoint diversity' is either valuable or worth cultivating on all subjects, this is not true.

Ah yes. It shouldn’t even be legal for people to question your viewpoint. Because when has discussion ever been a valuable thing? Or when has a political fashion ever turned out to be sorely wrong, and new viewpoints were needed? Wait, I remember a few times - but I’m sure that this time is going to be different.

Also, “fragile white boys”? This kind of ad hominem makes you sound like a raging ideologue.

I think racism is orthogonal to political affiliation. The (thankfully few) most virulently racist people I know, i.e. white people who drop the "N" word in casual conversation, are straight-ticket "D" voters. I also know people who are fiscally and socially conservative but not racist in the slightest.
No. Due to the moderation and flagging dynamics, this place is an echo chamber and it wouldn't be worth it for me.
I might be one of these progressive activists, and this is interesting to read and reflect on. I am quite vocal about culture, hiring, compensation etc, though I would definitely not say that I feel "confident being vocal" - it actually feels very exposed and quite vulnerable (in part because others don't necessarily share their own views). The reason I'm still vocal about it is that I care, I would feel much more satisfied if I can look back on my working life and feel like I was able to introduce structural improvements than if all I see is that I did what I was told and grew my bank account.

I am very worried about inequality and climate change causing massive issues down the road and the current system does not seem sufficiently equipped to address this - the "short term productivity" signal seems unlikely to lead to a solution by itself. So I guess fear plays a role as well.

What I would definitely not want is a mono-culture where everyone thinks like me, or large scale central planning, or anything of that kind. But I am desperate to find a feasible gradual path from where we are now to something more sustainable - if we don't find something gradual, I'm afraid change will be sudden and uncontrollable.

I know there is a lot of frustration about cancel culture, political correctness, virtue signaling, social justice warriors, etc. I think the issue here is mainly one of polarization and lack of effective discourse - it's easier to call people names than engage thoughtfully (which goes both ways). I hope we will find a way to get better at this collectively.

Not the parent, but I think that is a bit harsh. Their definitely is a practical limit to the amount of resources humanity has immediate access to. Be that time, raw materials, capital or whatever. There obviously are ways to make those resources go further. But that is beyond the ability and scope of most of us to achieve. And wealth gives you the spare time and money to go look for those opportunities. I agree that the mindset of zero sum game is bad for you and society. But there are still real constraints.

The zoning described was actually quite generous by modern standards; you could technically build as much as you wanted as long as it fit the prescribed cake tier shape, and you could build theoretically unlimited height on a certain portion, I believe the center quarter of the lot. There is no city in the US today where you could build something as tall as the Empire State Building as of right; and yet the older regulations allowed that.

If you would like this world-view to undergo some critical analysis, I strongly recommend Anand Giridharadas' take in "Winners take All" (condensed in this google-talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_zt3kGW1NM).

He specifically addresses the negative points of the "win-win"-mentality, and in my opinion, makes a strong point that a society built on a "win-win" culture is bound to be doomed.
I thought this frame of mind was slowly disappearing in the millenial and later generations.

You seem to mean something entirely different by polarization and depolarization.

As long as the issue is polarized, then it gains network support from the issues with which it is polarized. That process of standardization that you describe as "winning" happened because the issue became decoupled from stances on other issues and was no longer predictive of other views.

To put this in more concrete terms, I am not saying that you should not challenge racism and racists. I am saying that in pursuit of that goal you should actively push back on assuming someone is racist because of their political views.
In the linked Twitter thread, Dr Rasmussen says that a consequence of the Ad5 vector becoming replication competent is that the E1 gene might have replaced the spike protein, rendering the vaccine ineffective.

Are there any other consequences to the Ad5 vector virus being able to replicate? Is the virus harmful to humans in any way, or does it have the potential to become harmful?

Yeah, more density, because all that matters is the size of cities and their economy. 90% of children never waking up to the sounds of birds around their house? Who cares? 90% of grownups never plant even a tomatoes? What does it matter! Families of four or more confined to single-bathroom, two-bedroom apartments? The cosier, the better! The most important bit is that the cheap workforce reaches their dull jobs in time to make the city work for the elite and God forbid they don't behave "ecologically efficient" when doing so!

I fheyly agree that we should have humility in our policies, but should also be aware that all "progress" is not positive. In fact, how is progress even defined in this case? Is all change progressive? Or is change that younger people agree with automatically positive? At some point before the Spanish Inquisition, one could have argued that this new idea of burning witches was "progress" because it reduced the evil in the world. Back in 1970s Iran, one could have argued that a law that forced women to cover their bodies from head to toe to stop tempting men into sin, as "progressive".

In my own view, which I'm always willing to debate (and lose), a change isn't progressive if it cannot argue it's point using logic. If it silences dissent using threats of ostracism, job loss or ban from some ubiquitous online platform, it's not progress. If it presumes itself to be morally right without arguing it's case, and is happy to shut down any disagreement as (some)phobia, then it's not progress. If it denies science, it's not progress. And if it goes further than demand silence from dissenters, and actually demand that everyone agree (wear the colours, add the right signals to the Twitter bio, "you're with us or against us"), then it's not just "not progressive", it's regressive. It's dogmatic. It's a church full of people all changing a creed whether or not try believe.

I also subscribed for a while and keep periodically coming back to it. Interestingly, I had the opposite impression. They keep adding a lot of fancy fluff: tracked quests, editable story context, predefined worlds, ... A constant stream of new bells and whistles meant to expand on the experience and incentivize you to spend money.

However, I feel all of these are actually good ideas crippled by the fact that they still don't address the actual problem: the underlying model is only nearly good enough to play an interesting adventure from beginning to end without it going off the rails. A typical session feels like a battle against the AI's tendency of losing the plot all the time. Either literally forgetting the storyline or producing utter non sequiturs. And when it doesn't forget where it's going, it instead keeps repeating itself and insisting on the same trajectory regardless of your responses, even after reaching a natural conclusion.

After tons of fiddling and undoing nonsense responses you finally got an adventure that made sense and you killed the demon lord at the end of your quest? Suddenly, he will tell you to hurry before his master, the demon lord, comes after you and you must stop him from conquering the world!

Agreed. The fact that there is a little banner in my settings app that says "Apple Arcade 3 months available free" annoys me. In fact, it creeps me out. Obviously that little banner is easy to ignore and on its own it's no big deal, but it feels like a yellow flag like if a friend jokingly hints that they really need a glass of wine in the morning, and you know that their social circle is full of alcoholics.
Is there a scientific utility in orbital space station? We’ve already had MIR and ISS. NASA seems to be focused on Moon and Mars. I don’t understand why Roscosmos is talking about launching new station in 2025. I mean, it’s useful for Chinese since they didn’t do that before, but for others? Maybe if it was used as a space hub for other missions...
This depends on context. more often (in my experience) people are using base 10 , but also sometimes 2 or e.

Even still people (unfortunately) use "orders of magnitude" like "exponential growth", signifying something like "wow, a lot, but no idea how much".
Well, we know what the alternative is. People have less tomato planting time because they spend longer commuting.

> I agree this is about quality control and it is extremely unlikely to affect vaccine efficacy. (If anything, it would improve vaccine efficacy.)

I don’t think you can say this with much certainty, if the viruses either regained or never lost E1, it’s also possible that the same is true with E3 which modulates immune response.

Also, either of these genes could’ve replaced the Coronavirus spike protein.

(off topic, but this report is a good example of how to handle user data)

> anonymized

Could we, perhaps, stop using this word? Instead of using the vague, often misleading term "anonymized", state directly what actually happened, e.g. "names and addresses were removed", "user data was aggregated by ${group}", or "the UID was replaced with a new, equivalent key". Most of the time claims about data being "anonymized" are simply not true; replacing names or UIDs with a hashed value that is merely replacing an existing candidate key with a new synthetic key. As DJB said[1]:

>> Hashing is magic crypto pixie-dust, which takes personally identifiable information and makes it incomprehensible to the marketing department. When a marketing person looks at random letters and numbers they have no idea what it means. They can't imagine that anybody could possibly understand the information, reverse the hash, correlate the hashes, track them, save them, record them.

The rare examples where "anonymized" actually involves meaningfully making user data anonymous are when the actual user-correlated relations[2] have been destroyed. This report specifically discusses how this was done:

> If a sentence fragment appeared in less than 10 unique adventures, it was discarded from the result set to preserve anonymity.

Sometimes this required accepting a small amount of error:

> this data needed to be processed in batches of around 10000 adventures per batch. In each batch, fragments appearing only once were purged. Therefore, counts under around 25 are actually underestimates.

Well said. Email is the universal killer app for perpetuity.

And the lesson here is that it is so because nobody owns it, we all own it. It can't go bankrupt, it can't pivot to be something else, it can't lose all its best features when a new product manager is promoted and wants to make a statement. Things that every proprietary system will do and eventually disappear.

I have all email I've wanted to preserve back into about 1990 and I can read it just the same as back then. I will, guaranteed, be able to continue to access it with no change for as long as I live. No proprietary app will ever come close to matching this longevity.

Because it is an open standard I own my entire pipeline. I can receive, send, filter, script, trigger on content, automate.. there are no limits. It's my data.

I centralize everything to email. RSS goes to email, sites I scrape go to email, signal goes to email. If I can't pipe it to email somehow, I don't really have the time to deal with that kind of special snowflake. Email me.

Email is the unix pipe of communication, infinitely flexible to taste.
