They probably can't actually know the answer any better than that. Think for a moment about this statement from the article: "There is not a single documented Covid infection anywhere in the world from casual outdoor interactions, such as walking past someone on a street or eating at a nearby table." That's probably true, but how would you even find those infections? There's no record of who walked past who on the street, no way to contract trace every stranger that passes by an infected person, and generally countries don't even try. So the fact that this form of infection hasn't been documented to happen says very little when it's so much harder to detect than indoor transmission. Ultimately, where you draw the numerical line is going to mostly be a matter of personal judgement, and no matter what choice the CDC make the New York Times will always be able to find experts who back a different conclusion.

(Also, the word "casual" is doing a lot of work in that sentence. There absolutely have been documented examples of outdoor transmission via, for example, people going for walks together or chatting with each other outside. So if people think that this means all outdoor interaction is safe, as the article seems to be inviting them to do, this could cause some real problems.)
I've thought about this a bit and ideally one could either use a compressor with a predefined dict populated with normal daemon syslog output and output based on bad compression ratio of syslog messages or use minwise hashing and have a learning mode to populate a 'good' table and similar to the compression close jaccard similarities get discarded.
You might consider talking to PlayOn. They've found a way to record video from streaming services locally and stream encrypted video to DNLA/UPnP devices without encryption for over a decade - despite operating in the US. The Video Stream is only 720p, but it's better than nothing.

With their software, you can record Netflix/Hulu/Peacock/Disney+/Whatever to your computer or stream videos from those services to a Kodi box. They've never been sued from any of these services because of their (interesting) legal argument.

If you could integrate their services or techniques, you wouldn't need any approval from the streaming services.

You're absolutely right. I think the biggest barrier would be brushing up on these topics. I haven't touched these subjects in 5+ years. Teaching requires one more plane of understanding.
Babel has always struck me as the lowest-quality highest-profile tool that exists in the JS ecosystem. Their website and documentation are unorganized and unhelpful beyond the most basic usage — transpiring JSX.

I had some thought of implementing threading operators (like Clojure), and was happy to see existing proposals. But then I went searching for the implementation of those proposals and subsequent PRs and such. As my ultimately fruitless search dragged on, I kept saying to myself, “Who is in charge of this shit-show?”

Well, I finally have my answer. No one is in charge. It seems to me that Babel’s survival hinges upon one decision at Facebook to either create their own JSX transpiler or to switch from Babel to something else.

> 2) How much of a pay cut are employees willing to take to work from home?

Wh ... why? What about not coming into an office means that I should be paid less? A lot of companies have reduced their in-office capacity in the last year+, presumably slashing costs.

This seems to pivot on the archaic idea that if you're not in the office you're goofing off or something. I remember feeling that myself when I first worked with remote people a decade ago but at this point we should all kind of understand that work is work.
Oort cloud is still not confirmed, right? I get that it might be incredibly sparse, but isn't there anything to study there?
I understand the concerns here, but why is the goal to revert the changes? Discord's UI has relied on low contrast colors for a long time, especially for reacts and the code blocks. It feels like Discord was trying to improve accessibility not hurt it, and made poorly informed choices. Another tweak to the UI with these concerns in mind could be useful even for those without disabilities.
there are some things you can't know without time travel. what happens after having the vaccine for 5 years? 10? The immune system is strange. There are very few mRNA vaccines that have been deployed to date. Can you be sure you aren't, for example, at elevated risk for something like MS? You can't. Again, I say this as someone who made the choice to get the vaccine. The worst thing about conspiracy theories is that some of them are true. If you don't like people being "anti-science", then the one thing you CANNOT do is shove scientifically irresponsible stuff down their throat in the name of expediency.

Yes, this will probably play out in a number of different ways. You'll have people who don't want to be forced back into an office at least part-time at one group of companies. And you'll have other people who don't want to go back to a company that basically doesn't have much of an office culture any longer and necessitates most meetings still happening over video.
I've been asking this same question and have yet to hear a very convincing answer.

The best answer I've heard is: it will give you "extra immunity".

Which begs the follow on question, if we're so concerned about topping off our immunity, why shouldn't people get vaccinated and revaccinated every month or two?
Good riddance. Coda for iOS never worked correctly and was a scam app. It's utterly unjustifiable that Panic sold a "full-featured" editor that only works on "Sites" and not files.
Even if we had a demographically ‘fair’ recommender, a normal recommender is super top heavy. Telling 1000 companies person x is great is not very useful to them or the rest of candidates. I would expect this system to need some heavy limiting of amount of companies a candidate sees for it to be useful. Very different than typical recommendation where a great video can be thousands or millions of views.
Every customer purchase made through Amazon that is FBA results in the customer's name and address being made available to a 3rd party.

Often Amazon customers do not realize that their purchases result in this information sharing, and since control of the Buy Box shifts constantly there is no obvious way to be informed about this or choose which businesses to exclude.

It is possible to own the Buy Box for a very personal adult item by selling a product at a loss. This allows the creation of highly targeted list building right now.

This list can be used to identify individuals and to purchase of consumer data covering demographic, psychographic, social media and credit rating.

In this way, Amazon offers virtually anyone the keystone to linking the confirmed purchases of its unwitting customers with the broadest array of private data available.

Regardless of the ToS around this data, I suspect a tangible demonstration of the improper use of this data will occur. When that happens, it will be compared to the way Cambridge Analytica exploited accessible but ToS-protected PII from Facebook.

> You're assuming fictional consumer behavior based on theories that do not comport with reality.

Yes, I understand that this is your original argument. You don't believe that established economic theories like supply and demand apply in today's society.

> Nike's markup isn't correlated to what they pay for labor. There are plenty of other shoe companies that pay the same for slave labor and charge only a fraction of what Nike charges. People who pay $100 for a shoe that costs .50 cents to make aren't the "rational consumers" whose behavior is supposedly described by economic theories.

Nike gets a higher price because of the strength of their brand. When I talk about their competitors, I'm referring to other premium sneaker brands like Adidas, Asics, and Puma.

In fact, premium brands aren't an appropriate example for either of our arguments. It's not appropriate for my argument, since there is in fact a well known psychological effect (contrary to your claim) where consumers assume higher prices are associated with exclusivity and luxury. This can change the equation of how cost inputs effect price equilibrium.

It's also a poor example for your argument, since we are talking about people who may not be able to afford sneakers due to rising prices that allegedly break the laws of supply in demand. For that discussion, we'd need to use an example of a brand perceived as affordably-priced, not luxury-priced. (I could go on Amazon and find some, but their brand probably wouldn't be recognizable anyway, which is part of the point.) Those brands do compete on price, and cost inputs like labor absolutely effect what they charge consumers.

I really don't understand how they can make this statement:

> The report states that when the car started, security video shows the owner in the driver's seat, contradicting reports at the time of the April 17 accident that the seat was empty when the car crashed.

Those two things aren't contradictory at all. The car's journey could have started with the driver in the driver's seat, but been empty when the crash occurred. A lot can happen in the time between the start and the end.

There are many lonely people who have nothing but work as their lives. No friends, little family, no hobbies or interests to keep them busy. The workplace is their life.
My Thermapen Mk4 is one of the best kitchen purchases I've made, and that's quite a statement considering my spend on kitchen gadgets, tools, etc. People buying knockoffs or trying to go with lesser options are the perfect example of being "penny wise and pound foolish". For $65 shipped on sale, it was well worth the cost, and absolutely is world's better than any of the lesser options I tried before. Getting a rib roast just right, making candy, and doing BBQ are all areas where it's excelled and I've struggled with prior options.

One thing I've learned across all my many hobbies and in my professional life is that it's always worth the money to buy quality tools. They last longer, work better, and reduce the likelihood of error and failure in your work. There's a reason I don't buy junk, and I thought I could get away with it at first with cooking and learned the hard way not to. Now I have a Thermapen Mk4 along with other proper cooking tools, and it's massively upped my game and simplified the task of pulling off complex recipes.

Lenovo IdeaPad 1 is the one that I could find, but at the $350 price point needless to say it is not a flagship product. Main issue right now is that the 6W SoCs are about a generation and half behind the regular notebook APUs (which are themselves 0.5 to 1 generation behind the latest Zen in desktop CPUs). Not getting the latest and greatest means that it's highly unlikely anyone would want to bother designing a top-of-the-line product around it.
Not sure what you're taking issue with here.
If you make this happen consider making them more easily serviceable too. My guess is TVs are a big landfill problem because they are too inexpensive for most people to bother getting repaired.

Personally my ~8-10 y/o Samsung LED has a periodic problem that I’ve been diagnosing with YouTube, it seems like a lot of issues are caused by something simple like loose connectors inside.
So, how it differs from current design?

Supply is definitely going to be a challenge for us in the long term. We think we’ll need over a million volunteers someday to support all 8 million low-income HS students in the US. However, at least during COVID-19, we found it really easy to recruit volunteers because everyone was looking for virtual opportunities. At one point we amassed a wait list of over 10K people who wanted to volunteer with us.

I think one thing we have going in our favor in the long run is that we designed the volunteer opportunity to be convenient enough that even busy professionals should be able to take part. Volunteers have complete control over their own schedule and how much time they want to work with students in any given week/month/year.

One study found that 50% of Americans say that they want to give back but can’t because of time and schedule constraints. About a third of Americans are college-educated and likely able to tutor at least one subject, so that puts us at about 50M potential volunteers just in the US who might be both qualified and interested in our volunteer opportunity.

Through corporate partnerships with big companies and potentially even clubs on college campuses, we’re hopeful we can recruit enough volunteers to meet student demand in perpetuity. And to address your point about recruiting for harder subjects… another thing we have in our favor is that the distribution of individuals qualified to help with different subjects matches up pretty well with the distribution of students needing help in different subjects. Our most popular subjects on the platform are actually lower-level math subjects like Algebra 1 and Geometry, and those are also the subjects volunteers are most likely to get certified in.
I never once took any position for or against collective bargaining in the game industry. I would say I have not looked into this enough to fairly have an opinion on the matter.

Plus, I do think my own experience has been with the "good" game companies who didn't work you down to nothing. I really don't think a union vote would have had a chance at all at the places I worked.

It does seem like the industry as a whole has gotten worse since I founded my own game company in 2010. Or, maybe the companies I worked at really were the "best" ones for worker quality of life.

As for my own politics, I'm not so much pro-union as I am pro-worker cooperative. Unions today do a lot of things for their own benefit at the expense of the rest of society. I see it locally with the teachers union in my school district. It's awful, they are bankrupting the school district and their demands are completely out of touch with reality. So I don't think just having a union is the silver bullet here. Unions pit workers against management. In a hugely creative and cooperative venture like making a video game, that is a pretty big negative.

I would love to see more employee owned businesses. Unfortunately video games are hugely capital intensive and very risky. You need to be able to throw away tens of millions of dollars. Very unlike manufacturing where at least if your product fails, you still have a valuable factory. If your video game flops, you literally have $0 in assets to show for it.

So, we need to come up with different ways of financing capital and organizing labor so that everyone's best interests are at heart. Very difficult problem to solve and capitalism isn't very interested in solving it. But, I guess it does work for the film industry so what's to say it wouldn't work for game development?

Also I want to say, I only wanted to share my view here because I felt like my perspective was missing from this discussion. It's not all unholy crunch time and rock bottom wages. I personally had a great experience in the game industry from 2000 - 2010. With that said, I don't disagree at all with the premise that most game companies take unfair advantage of their employees.

Lastly, I want to add that at my own startup, we practice what we preach. In the 10 years we've been going, the amount of days we've asked our developers to "crunch" is in the single digits.

I’m an ideas guy and it’s been very frustrating to have to raise to ascend the stigma.

I iterate solutions much faster than most. Ive also since college done the hard yards to learn to execute/lead and obtain multiple deep skills including coding.

I know what people are talking about with the “all talk no action” person.

That’s not me, some of us really are excellent at iterating good ideas. It’s a discarded skill, but highly valuable once I’m on most teams, I can just never promote this strength due to the stigma.
Not that I support tiktok, but I feel the opposite. Resumes aren't really that useful for determining whether or not you'd want to work with that person. A short video is a lot better at that, before moving to something more detailed like a resume. How we handle resumes in general is just very outdated and archaic.

Not only is this a valid point in and of itself, but it bring up a fascinating (IMO) aspect of the human mind: just how abstract the "stimuli" can be that we respond to, eh?

The vast, vast majority of content from 70 years ago doesn't have special effects at all.

And I'm sorry but that's not how scripts work. Episodic television and one-off movies have entirely different dramatic structures and aren't even remotely interchangeable. You can't just turn a movie into TV.

One of the greatest TV shows of all time, I Love Lucy, is from 70 years ago. And in terms of enjoyment, it hasn't aged at all. Nor did it require special effects. ;)

Above all, the 1950's was called the "Golden Age of Television" for a reason! [1]

That section caught my eye as well, and my search turned up this [0] result. "According to gossip, which is spoken among the people and is not essential, those who made these works put the gold among the stones and asked the people to use it in times of absence." ... that's quite an odd legend. Gold certainly wouldn't be a component of the construction itself, and it makes absolutely no sense to embed your critical infrastructure project with a strong motivation to destroy it.

Ha, that's a common pattern with Musk companies.

EVs are impractical. Charging fast can't be done and the network won't exist until the cars get built anyway. But noone would buy them without the network so its impossible.

Oh, you built EVs, 100KW+ chargers and the network yourself? Well, obviously that was inevitable if we had just given General Motors and Ford enough time.

Its not a falsifiable position, so its interesting to think about too.
I suspect consistency of product is part of the reason thermapen have their reputation and other brands mostly don't. You can often get cheap products that are good, but there might be a lot more variability.

I am curious to know the reasons behind the @as() syntax. What's wrong with "i32 y = (i32) x;"?

I look with interest to new languages but after so many years dealing with C, my parser crashes when I see the type after the variable name and at the end of functions declarations.

var x : u8 = 5;

What's wrong with "u8 x = 5;"?

And I don't really like type inference very much (or when it's abused or cannot be avoided). What is "b"? Oh, I have to check what it's being casted from...

var a: u8 = 255;
var b = 1 + 2 + 3 - (4 + @as(i32, a));

What type is "b"? i32?
