>Let’s go back to tulips IMO.

What happened with tulips wasn't quite as simple as people think.

>At least they didn’t destroy the environment.

Not a fan of Doge, but they piggyback on LTC mining to a large extent so probably less of an effect. Plenty of other crypto doesn't do PoW at all. Really the environmental impact is becoming more and more just Bitcoin's problem not crypto in general.

>Most crypto claims to be deflationary

Doge isn't, it's famously quite inflationary.

>There’s not enough liquidity for all the donkeys to get their money back let alone for all the “innovators” to cash out.

Yes, it's important for people to understand liquidity in relation to market cap, but this isn't just an issue for crypto. You can't sell all of a stock without the price crashing either.
I don't think the existence of the list is really the problem, it was just the spark that lead to all this. Everyone, including DHH and Jason agrees that the list was a bad idea. It was the arguments that sprung out of that, and then the ridiculously heavy handed policy changes that started all of this. The list itself doesn't matter, it's becoming increasingly clear that there were pre-existing tensions and there would have been some other event that kicked this off if the list didn't.
this is the worst take I've seen in quite a while. no proof but based on personal experience and imagination.

The generic slice functions would certainly reduce boiler plate, but what I miss in comparison to Rust is the concept of iterators. In Rust if you were to iterate over words in a string you'd get borrowed words, so in practice lots of things are non-allocating (unless you choose to collect / take ownership) - in Go etc. instead of windowing over a string you typically fully allocate the []string result (e.g. strings.Split / strings.Fields). Sub-slicing in Go can be used to make your own iterators, but the ergonomics take a hit.
There is also a concept that only close friends and family matters. People outside of this circle do not really count as people. Putting poison in milk is not "good enough" but malicious action.

There was similar mentality in soviet countries.
It sounds like they’re making a joke about the intelligence of past presidents.
RoadBotics Introduces AgileMapper, a New Asset Mapping Platform
RoadBotics is excited to announce the release of their new AgileMapper platform to its suite of products that helps users digitize their infrastructure assets and manage projects efficiently. AgileMapper snaps, tags, and maps assets with the speed and power of AI.

“After almost a year in the making, AgileMapper has evolved into a powerful standalone platform and app to easily capture, view, and assess infrastructure data,” explains Matt Lucas, Head of Product at RoadBotics. “It [AgileMapper] opens the door to a wide range of industries looking for a better solution to digitizing and managing data.”

AgileMapper users collect photos of assets using a smartphone, and artificial intelligence goes to work tagging objects present in the images. Uploaded images appear instantly on the desktop platform. Tedious processes like asset inventories and inspections, monitoring sidewalks, and tracking multiple projects are simplified with AgileMapper.

“We are excited to release a product that will help governments, civil engineering firms, and construction companies manage their infrastructure assets and projects more effectively,” said Benjamin Schmidt, Ph.D., CEO and Co-Founder of RoadBotics. “The feedback we received from our clients was an integral part of the AgileMapper production process, and we could not have built this platform without their input.”

RoadBotics is well known for their automated pavement assessment technology that marries the simplicity of using a smartphone for data collection with the efficiency and accuracy of artificial intelligence. The new AgileMapper is the most recent addition to their product lineup.

About:

RoadBotics empowers governments and communities to make objective, data-driven decisions about their public infrastructure assets. We automate image mapping and road assessments, generating interactive maps, unbiased ratings, and practical tools to save time and money for many communities around the world.
I find this partly true, but I still only need to use Google over DDG maybe 20% of the time, and when I do it’s usually because I’m desperate (and even then, I rarely find what I’m looking for, or what I think I’m looking for). I find Google’s grouping together SO pages to be particularly useful, but most of the time when I’m looking for doco or the first few results, DDG is at least more than adequate.

Doing some more digging, apparently AdGuard just created a URL tracking filter a couple of weeks ago that we should be able to enable in either the AdGuard or Ublock Origin (or perhaps other ad-blocking) Firefox mobile addons eventually:
https://adguard.com/en/blog/adguard-url-tracking-filter.html

Or you can manually add the filter now. After installing the Ublock Origin addon in firefox mobile, I clicked on the 3 dots -> Addons -> Ublock Origin -> Open the dashboard -> Filter lists -> Import... and pasted this URL (from the top of the above link):
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdguardTeam/FiltersRegistr...

I tested by sharing a URL with UTM and other parameters, and it did strip them.
It’s not as clear cut on the commercial impact front. While reading the literature can sometimes give the impression that NNs have delivered game changing performance. In many cases they are delivering 1-10% gains over prior techniques.

Alternatively in fields like speech to text the most impressive neural results are commercially impractical due to the cost of inference.

It cost roughly 30 million dollars to train alpha star which rated in the top .3% of Starcraft players. Presuming that the technology reasonably transferred to other fields ( lack of prepplayed pro games would be a problem ) there are few reasons to believe one could gain 30 million dollars of value from the result.
>So items 1 and 4 are courses which you need to sign up for and get everything including instruction. That fails to qualify as "on their own".

>Item 2

No it's a MVS distribution (a full blown Operating System) with all the compilers 99% the same as a "modern" z/os

>Item 3

That's the S/390 emulator.

>Would you hire someone to work on a mainframe who'd never used a real system before?

Most Mainframe-Programmer where never near the Hardware anyway...so YES i would do that absolutely (you don't do Hardware near programming in Mainframes, an emulator is perfectly fine), same as a Dev who programs in a VirtualBox, no difference.

It's not just mythology - sometimes it is used to defame and erase people.

Recently I watched the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line (2005).
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0358273

It was entirely by chance that almost immediately after that I saw the story of his first wife, Vivian Dorraine Liberto, in My Darling Vivian (2020),
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7432980

Watching these two films back to back is informative. The end bits of the last film featuring the celebratory gathering of Hollywood personas was specially galling, in context of the counter-narrative.

There is this 'machine' that has perfected the art of deception and perception management and preys upon our inherent human psychological susceptibilities. Even cynics like me are susceptible. The only effective antidote seems to be to turn the tools and means of the machine against its products, or to avoid its products entirely.
I expect those regulations to be found unconstitutional.

Intuitively, this feels like it would disproportionally reward the most well-liked and politically-astute employees. Maybe that’s what you want, but I’d probably prefer something like Buffer’s transparent formula-based approach.[0]

The board is full of law professors, human rights activists, and even one former PM, and their funding is irrevocable. I would give them time to see if their reputations generalize.

Not sure how one can be independent and yet get a salary. They're basically no different from regular employees.
My gut reaction was to say 'No if social media makes you do something stupid, that's your fault'

From what I understand, the foundation is funded by Facebook directly, but it's unclear what kind of obligations are legally/contractually required by that funding. Of course FB can always pull funding completely, but that would be a bit blatant.
Well, for starters they wouldn't be able to claim HIPAA or PCI-DSS compliance anymore. Anyone dealing with health information of Americans would expose themselves to criminal charges if they ever use AWS again. Though it's a private sector response, Visa/MasterCard/etc would also push anyone dealing with credit card numbers off of AWS.

At least PCI-DSS certification (I don't know about HIPAA) further involves annual audits to make sure that certain proactive things are being done as well, specifically including things like data access logs. Those audits aren't as comprehensive as they ought to be, but they'd catch something egregious like marketing people looking into data owned by AWS customers.

I'm pretty sure (though much less than the above) that this would also be a de facto GDPR violation, meaning that nobody who wants to do business in Europe could safely use AWS anymore either. Amazon itself uses AWS and wants to do business in Europe, so that's a pretty good incentive.
> Can you tell me who kept your packets coming during the covid lockdowns?

Mine? Mostly a government company. But secondly a specialized logistics one that outsources last mile delivery almost everywhere. I'm impressed by how many places decided to concentrate shipping on that one, and how well it works.

Anyway, if size is that important for logistics, it's not some progressive taxation that will change things. On semiconductors, for example, it will certainly not make any difference. And if size is not that important, then not having one or two companies killing every competitor due to concentrated power overwhelms any possible loss you may come out with.
You don't need a share price of over 400k to do that.
I saw Frank Abigail speak at a tech conference and feel his talk was the best I’ve ever heard. He’s spent the majority of his career at the FBI working major fraud and counterfeit cases. As an autodidact troubled teen, he learned the criminal mindset, then used that to help beat several generations schemes. He was clear that the film was mostly fiction so I’m not sure this book is revealing much, other than that Hollywood ‘true stories’ are the real imposter.

Quite true, but as I ranted here[0] Google screws that up, too. If you try to limit your search to only post from e.g. the last month or year, they'll happily show you archived posts from 5 years ago as well.

Terraform has it's shortcomings for sure, but I don't think it's reasonable to expect Terraform to go out and clean up second-order effects of it's resources.

I'm not doubting that the situations you describe are true, but abandoning resources like that is an AWS-lifecycle problem, not really a Terraform one.
>> The PUA and red pill communities have absolutely poisoned this space

I think the PUA has poisoned the space. TRP concepts I find quite good taken as a whole, but a lot of guys are focused on the wrong things for the wrong reasons. At its core, TRP says to put yourself together and everything else will follow, but the everything else is NOT suppose to be your goal. Some of the ideas there like AWALT are toxic when taken literally (as many do) but the point is that as human animals everyone has the potential to be or do certain things. Same for many of the other tenets of it. As one guy said, TRP is a map but not the territory.

But I agree a lot of folks miss the big picture of TRP and get lost. Much like reading NMMNG sometimes produces narcissistic a-holes instead of better people.
>The higher-order function style also tends to be much slower,

This shouldn't be the case. A HoF-call should be optimized into a JMP or be inlined directly. The issue of performance is more likely to come from non-mutating functions operating on datastructures which had mutation in mind.
This is a flowchart editor I made that's optimized for speed of editing. Everything can be done via keyboard shortcuts, and there's no boxes and arrows to drag around. To achieve that I used a spreadsheet-like UI which constrains the layout significantly. But the benefit is that editing text in the nodes is fast, and re-arranging/navigating nodes is fast.

No need to limit yourself to the past.
Regular employees can be fired selectively.
Sure, but part of the consequences of making horrible decisions is that you're going to lose 30% of your employees. Any business leader can do what they like with their business, it doesn't mean that they shouldn't be immune to criticism or that they have a god-given right for their employees not to quit.

If you have any links to articles or news reports I would be very grateful.
1. Netflix itself did nothing wrong - it's lawful for a company to use shitty expensive useless products. On the other hand, if a company officer takes bribes to act against the interests of their employer, they're breaching their duty of care towards the employer and defrauding them, and that is a felony. I'm not certain about the guilt of the bribing company, that might depend on the exact details and where it happens/which law applies.

2. "Standard" in-person fraud is prosecuted by the states, but fraud over mail or wires is a federal crime, so if any long-distance communications were involved then the federal justice system can (also) get involved.
Seeing as how the context of this discussion in an article titled "How Basecamp Blew Up", I think it's pretty safe to say it was in fact a bad idea.
You’re missing a crucial bit that changes everything: one of the earliest employees is ostensibly a very, very right leaning person who made super questionable comments unprompted in the townhall, and refused to acknowledge racism as a concept could exist in companies. And one of the founders just couldn’t say anything that would have helped in that moment.
Good Q.

This comment and the subject of the article remind me of a very unrelated article I just read about obscenities.

"...[societal] concern [about obscenety] has been transferred from the sexual and scatological to the sociological"

The middle finger emoji doesn't raise an eyebrow today but would've been unthinkable in the not-so-distant past. Today we've got the best and the brightest invested in cracking the hard cases around skin tone instead.
I'm completely surprised actually. The bigger news is that they didn't let him back on because he's worth so much money to the social media companies.

The oversight board is supposed to be independent, and we know how that goes. It was assumed it would do what's best for FB financially, which is let Trump back on.
First of all this is not the first, but second stage (because rocket has a parallel layout and second stage engine starts at same time with the first, it can be called "core" stage, but not "first"). First stage are the boosters on the sides. For example, Soyuz also has same layout (plus an upper stage, LM5 also has it, just not for LEO launches), and it's core is never called "first stage".

Also, this isn't a sign of anything going wrong. Upper stages very commonly enter orbit and sometimes stay there for long. It happened to SpaceX Falcon 9 too, it's just their rockets are smaller.
This article explores the concept in greater detail. The most common interpretation in a professional context is "half-assed job."

Here is a link to the actual decision:

This part is interesting:

Within six months of this decision, Facebook must reexamine the arbitrary penalty it imposed on January 7 and decide the appropriate penalty. This penalty must be based on the gravity of the violation and the prospect of future harm. It must also be consistent with Facebook’s rules for severe violations, which must, in turn, be clear, necessary and proportionate.
Regarding your COVID19 conspiracy theory, allow me to quote Wikipedia:

Echoing the views of scientists internationally, a World Health Organization (WHO) mission said that a laboratory leak origin for the virus was "extremely unlikely", supporting what most experts already expected about the likely natural origins of the virus and its early transmission.

Reduce is basically "loop over this list while maintaining state". If you have loops and state built in, it doesn't buy you a whole lot.

I don't think the aim of the package is to move Go towards a more functional style. Rather, it's to provide a set of utility functions that mesh with the style of existing Go code. For example, it would be useful to have a utility to 'pop' an element from a slice, even though that's not a particularly functional idiom.

Depending on how it is set up, I could see them being considered independent. If Facebook set aside the money and legally sheltered it from their own influence via a trust or something, then that could be considered fairly independent.

Thanks for responding to my cynic take. Maybe indeed they deserve some credit for the decision and the benefit of the doubt for now.
a service expanding that link one time to give you the underlying static url without tracking before sharing is far better than even one real person clicking it, wouldnt you agree? the trackers would know at least one person clicked it but thats about it?
Can this ruling then be applied to others who meet the same criteria? Because there's a lot of them.

While I get what you're saying, it's also a pretty cynical view of things especially if they're quasi-independent. People can make ethical judgements independent of (especially) a non-full-time paycheck.

They can't, though. It's an irrevocable trust; the Oversight Board would have to agree to terminate it.
