Sure, some roles, like "startup founder" or "astronaut" may be fundamentally incompatible with small children. However, a lot of roles, like "cashier at Target", are pretty low hanging fruit (and it looks like they've been working on it[0]).

Even for the roles that are incompatible we should strive to give the humans who specialize in those roles (and most such roles are highly specialized) as many opportunities as we can to take extended breaks from their duties to raise small kids if they wish without fearing for their financial security. I believe we will be very thankful for such policies once all those kids reach adulthood.

> INTRODUCTION

> Plaintiffs ask the Court to do something that no court appears to have ever done before—issue a preliminary injunction under the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”). Plaintiffs make their unprecedented requestbased on noevidence of a BIPA violation or imminent harm to the putative class. They submit not a single affidavit or declaration in support,and offer nothing more than citations to newspaper articles in support of their claims. That alone is sufficient reason to deny Plaintiffs’ motion, which requires them to come forward with evidencein support of their claims. Instead of providing evidence, Plaintiffs focus on their own, unsubstantiated and speculative opinions of the “dangers” of Clearview’s product, while ignoring the substantial, concrete harm that Clearview and the public would experience if an injunction issued. Plaintiffs’ speculation does not warrant a grant of the “extraordinary and drastic remedy” of a preliminary injunction. Goodman v. Ill. Dep’t of Fin. & Prof’l Regulation, 430 F.3d 432, 437 (7th Cir. 2005). Because it fails to satisfy every element necessary for an injunction to issue, Plaintiffs’ motion should be denied.

A truly random shuffle will repeat some songs while ignoring others. That's random!
I created an algorithm for a program of mine that selected every item in a set only once, with no repeats, but in a random order. That required shuffling the set once, then iterating thru the shuffled version from start to finish.
If you just repeatedly choose a random selection from a set, you will get something akin to Spotify's behavior. Sounds like their programmers haven't really thought this through.
Android apps can quite easily be decompiled to reverse engineer protocols like that. It would probably have been quicker than sniffing the Bluetooth packets and interpreting them.

I lived in SF for a couple years but I sure didn't want to live there. I went where the jobs were.
I'd like to see the numbers on that. If the non-empty threat of allowing your competitor to take more share doesn't improve effectiveness more than the duplicate development on the smaller sections handed between them. Once they both have infrastructure in a given area it's efficiently handed over.

Also a good way of allowing new technologies to enter a market. If the incumbents don't innovate, a newcomer will be given a corner to start.

You’d be surprised at how arbitrary the process actually is. Clothing brands are first and foremost concerned with sourcing unique fabrics and materials, and then building collections aiming for a certain style in connection to these materials and trends. The production of clothing is almost exclusively outsourced to asia, meaning clothing designers don’t actually have any say in how the garments are put together other than giving feedback to the prototypes sent from the factories. “Take this template, make the arms a bit longer and take off the breast pocket” type of feedback. A total redesign of women’s jeans with bigger pockets would mean a redesign of the clothing brand’s production model too. They would have to spend a lot on R&D, training, production and what not, so they just don’t bother.
We're all little feedback loops on the inside though. Talking about something isn't a consequence-free action--it mentally primes you for more of that thing.

I mean it sounds hippy-dippy to say "think positive thoughts, man." But there is some truth to it, speaking from neuroscience and personal experience.

EDIT: Love the first part of your comment, though I don't have anything to add to it!
>> "Why does everybody always seem to think rude and dismissive employees are indicative of employee failures instead of an indication that the job is shit, the employer is treating the employees like crap, and so only shitty people will take the job?"

This is why I always give support people top ratings and try to put a positive spin in the comments even when it's hard. I know lots of people who work retail or front line support. It's pretty much never their fault when things go wrong.
That's going to create some philanthropic ripples I suspect.
Best open source project origin story ever. Hah!

On a more serious note though, I can really see this taking off. Easy to use API, well written and easy to follow docs, good performance.

And if this ever does take off, there'll ben no end of awesome works people will create based on your foundation.
The point of the article is more that even if all of your testing and validation is rigorous and the performance looks great, trivial changes in the production data can break your model anyway.

My view is that all high value production models should include out of distribution detection, uncertainty quantification, and other model specific safeguards (like self-consistency) to confirm that the model is only being used to predict on data it is competent to handle.
All kinds of ways to approach these kinds of things and hard to say what will work well for you, however, my advice is more about making sure the rest of your life has some structure ( I'm not sure what this looks like for you). It's often better if these are things that are on time tables and require a commitment, ideally something quite tactile and social. So, you could do some kind of sport/sport like thing with regular training. Boxing/JiuJitsu or something like Dancing, or less active, you could go to chess club. Or alternatively you could take art classes, something like pottery is quite tactile, but you could do any kind of sculpture, painting, drawing. At home, you could try things like knitting/crochet, speed rubix cubing, juggling, etc. A good mix of things is ideal. The diversity helps with getting a better perspective. Sometimes it can be hard to commit to any of those things (or things like that) as they might not interest you, and you can't think of anything you want to do. In that case, just commit to trying things. Second piece of advice, share the problems you have with other people, it can help with not feeling like this is a problem locked up inside you.
Google AI leader has defected to Apple
This reminds me of the guy who traded a paper clip for a house... only in reverse. Every time these companies get traded, more gets added to the bundle and they sell for less money.

Soon it’ll be Yahoo & AOL sold for an NFT of an illustration of a pile of used AOL CDs.
Everything seemed very 'on rails' to me. Get your grades, get your HDB flat, get a corporate job, spend your free time at the mall or movies, there's very little in terms of politics or even culture or art or sports to be honest. When I'm in a foreign country I usually like to ask people where I can experience some local art or maybe read a local novelist, and Singapore was the country where by far even most locals did not know a single recommendation. The nation is small and that's one reason, but go to say, any Scandinavian country and the difference in terms of cultural activity is astonishing.

Also what surprised me was how little of a distinct Singaporean identity there is. The legal system is very British, culturally there's a huge Chinese influence obviously, but I couldn't really figure out if there's something that's really distinctly Singaporean (except for Singlish).

For one dog my parents got the poison and did the injection, the dog dying in my lap, peaceful enough (and very sad—-we had many adventures together). For another dog-companion, this in my adulthood, our regular vet was kind, considerate, and matter-of-fact; verifying we wanted to kill our old dog, injecting the poison as we held our dog, and giving us plenty of time to grieve. If it had been just me I’d have stayed to help move the body, or at least watch, for the extra connection to the lifecycle. I have so many positive memories of both dogs, and accept that I will be part in deciding how and when our current dog dies. I hope you find the right professional to help you and your companions if they don’t conveniently die in their sleep.
Disclaimer: It's been a while, but my very first job out of uni was dealing with large queries like that for reporting and import/export out of our OLTP database directly.

15 tables would've been not very common for us, but something between 5 and 10 was normal. Many of those tables would've had millions upon millions of rows (while some were simple 'key tables' with only hundreds or a few thousand records)

The one thing that I learned really fast is that yes, "prefiltering/subgrouping" as the OP calls it, is very important. If you cut down on the number of rows that your query "starts out with" was very very important, as it cuts down on the amount of data that needs to be dealt with in the rest of the query. This was for an old Sybase ASE based system. IIRC, ASE would only be able to automatically optimize this across 4 clauses (might misremember the number and I left before they upgraded to the new newer version with a better optimizer), so ordering of your join clauses was important. If the filtering that cut down on the amount of data needed from other tables came first, your query would run way faster, than if the filters were way down with the rest of the joins.

Just think about it, if you start out with getting 6 million patient records and then start collecting 6 million records from the next table for a join and so on and so forth, that's way more data that needs to be read and churned through than if you can 'start on the other end' so to speak, whittle it down to say 50000 records that now need to be looked up in the patient table.
>Public transit + anti-car urbanism, while much more fragile due to today's rich hating it

Then why does every billionaire and national newspaper support those things? For that to be true, your definition of "rich" would have to include the approximately 90% of Americans who bought a car and a home in a place that requires driving.

Having a back yard and guest bedroom and driving 15 minutes to the grocery store is preferable to the vast majority of people to living in a small apartment and relying on public transportation. If it wasn't these western US cities would have developed differently.
In this case they share a charitable foundation that contributes to lots of projects that are frequently discussed here.
HDMI-CEC might have replaced the remote control protocol, but it would have taken the (single) HDMI input, and the author wanted that for the TV. The TOSLINK input was unused.
Your PhD and associated research is not on your CV or resume? Plus, did you publish any papers? They may be more relevant than projects created in 2002 (18 years ago ...)

Similar restrictions were also implemented in Ireland.

If France is on the same course as the UK, then they will have to reach 50% vaccinated for the first time, before the government will lift many of the restrictions.

To me curfews that dictate that you cannot go outside is not the european way.
I think knowledge be gets knowledge so the more you know the faster it is to pick up new things. I think that's why people that read a lot are able to understand new things rather quickly.

So, if I were you, I would make a list of subjects that are interesting and select books that are fundamental to the subject. Example, if you want to understand calculus then you better have a good grasp of math, algebra and trig. Learning by memorizing is only part of the answer. It's hard to advance your knowledge if you don't understand what you are reading. So you have to take the time to make sure you understand the subject by taking the time to answer problems.

If you want to be quick at understanding interfaces then take the time to understand how they are designed. Overtime you will be quick to pick up new interfaces. There are no quick answers. You have to put in the work.
FWIW, that scenario is closer to the problem Sentry is trying to solve, and their feedback capture mechanism allows the end user to contribute anything relevant, or even just rant!, which can be helpful beyond just the raw data of an error capture

I do recognize that this tool seems like it's oriented toward logic bugs whereas Sentry really shines in the unforseen outcomes case, but I'd bet a well placed "send feedback" link could still capture the browser details and breadcrumbs without requiring a formal error per se
Everything interesting on twitter takes more than one tweet.

I wonder if there's a place for "fast Usenet", where you can write a message of arbitrary length with some markdownish syntax, let it be flooded to anybody subscribed to that group, and automatically drop into a searchable no-new-comments archive after, say, a week.
If you take TRON though, for instance, you are getting a claim on the nearly continuous new TRON production though.

Same for LOOM and quite a few other cryptos.
For Go, I also take the vendor approach.

But for other stuff (namely private npm packages), (relatively) modern versions of Docker support build-time-only secrets: https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/build_enhance.... Pass the secret as part of the docker build command and then access it inside RUN --mount=... stages.
These restrictions are so stupid. Meanwhile people go to large weddings [1], meet in homes for parties and of course have to go to the supermarket.

Are there even numbers how many infections occur in supermarkets? Any measurements? What has the government been doing in the past year?

[1] It is of course not politically correct to ask in which population segments such weddings occur.

Launching an all female hacker house
I was trying to figure out how to reply, but I think you got it. They do this out in the open. They run on it. It's not a conspiracy when they say it with volume and pride to anyone who will listen. "Government so small you can drown it in a bathtub" was only a slight paraphrase.
Doesn't that make testing the translation and internationalization functionality that much harder though? If it's a pure function that takes a string and a locale, I can write really simple, straightforward tests that I can be confident accurately capture the breadth of the functionality.

If part of that input is now bundled up in this large globally structure, then now testing it seems like it would that much more complicated. Then, I'd need to artificially construct these structures as a part of my tests, making them less transparent to readers of the codebase.
Sure but oxygenation is strongly correlated with hemoglobin color, so it's very easy.

Blood pressure, on the other hand, is very difficult to measure, and it fluctuates wildly based on a wide variety of confounding factors. It would be amazing if they figured out a way to get this information optically.

Items are priced in Doge and I can go buy them with the stated number of Doge (same deal as BTC or ETH). Meets my definition of fungible.
I agree, but that's the thing: It is non idomatic to write immutable Shape-style classes in C++. Possible, yes. Idiomatic, no.

IIRC in Stroustroup's book (the one I read a decade ago, anyway), he concludes that Rect:Square and Circle:Ellipse can not inherit from each other in either direction, and did not suggest switching to immutable everything.
Why not answer my actual question? Why do you think they are insane? It seems simple enough.

Also - it’s not clear how this piece is related to your earlier comments about Jesus and people having religious experiences.

How are the two connected?
I can't see how this is possible. There is no published research on using light to detect blood glucose and blood alcohol with any accuracy. Blood pressure is just about possible [1] if you calibrate with a real pressure sensor but even then the results aren't great.

Bitcoin only represents about half of that "market cap" number though.

Bitcoin Cash and TRON, for instance, process more transactions than Bitcoin pretty regularly now. TRON even processes more transactions than Ethereum.
Can you elaborate more? Do you mean that people are seduce by a land value tax because it's non-distortionary and fail to consider other downsides? Or do you disagree on other principles?
Best thing I've done for my focus is to use an ungoogled AOSP based ROM like lineageOS. Initially it was for the purpose of maximum privacy, now it stays for the sake of focus and efficiency.

My phone distracted me too much, and I realized that I wasn't able to work concentrated (in the flow) when my phone was lying on the table.

Now I use a google free Android that also uses appwarden, blokada and, osmand+ and other privacy increasing measurements. I now have a perfectly useful tool without any destracting social apps.

The only thing I use regularly is Telegram FOSS (with deactivated notifications, so I decide when to check async messages). Can't use "google-free" signal because it actually still uses google's apis but that's a different story.

What also helped me to get into the working mood was that I also keep track of tiny, little things to do in my projects.

CSS fixes, little website or HTML bugs that are easy to start the day with are an awesome motivator. Then afterwards I start working on the hardcore netsec/debugging related issues, as they need more focussed attention.

If you lack the reward of working, something as simple as a wall with post-it notes containing the tasks at hand can be very helpful. Every time you move the tasks physically to the "done" area it can help increasing the dopamine effect.
Bill Gates is getting divorced
"Low hanging fruit" is only there until someone has picked it all, then all that's left is the grind to get the higher fruit. This is something I see mgmt failing to understand over and over. A certain team comes through, does some small tweaks to get 10x throughput (over, say, a week). Then they're confused why they can't just get another 10x gain in a week.

First of all 10x on 10x is doing 9x the work the original team did

Presuming the team sorted the effort-reward ratio tasks, the only things left in the project will be harder than the first team tackled.
