The issue is that the authors of bad papers still participate in the peer-review process. If they are the only expert reviewers and you do not pay proper respect to their work, they will squash your submission. To avoid this, papers can propagate mistakes for a long time.

Personally, I'm always very careful to cite and praise work by "competing" researchers even when that work has well-known errors, because I know that those researchers will review my paper and if there aren't other experts on the review committee the paper won't make it. I wish I didn't have to, but my supervisor wants to get tenured and I want to finish grad school, and for that we need to publish papers.

Lots of science is completely inaccessible for non-experts as a result of this sort of politics. There is no guarantee that the work you hear praised/cited in papers is actually any good; it may have been inserted just to appease someone.

I thought that this was something specific to my field, but apparently not. Leaves me very jaded about the scientific community.
Funny enough, the association between pink and girls is quite recent. In the middle ages that was not the case so you it would not be that that strange to have a knight being pink-dressed. (unfortunately I cannot find any reference at the moment, so you have to trust me on this)
> Eventually shops in eastern San Francisco will need to implement mantraps

This seems like one of the easiest things to do and the banks in California do this even if they're in low crime areas.

Why haven't the stores done this rather than closing?

I suspect the answer is that this is a nice excuse to get rid of underperforming stores that they would get dinged for racism if they closed them wholesale without a PR excuse.
So, I poked around the website and for almost every link that I clicked on I saw "coming soon"

I don't get it.
Yellow is more neutral than specific light-to-tan skin tones, but it's certainly not neutral in regards to everyone.

Or, to put it another way - if the default for all emoji was a dark magenta skin tone, would you consider that "race-neutral"?
Early in my university days, I was studying for a test in the science and engineering library. Restless, I wandered around and pulled some books at random looking for a distraction.

I found this book, and poof! My study time vanished. I started learning OpenGL just so I could try some of these things. At the time, I thought "algorithms" were something I'd always be bad at, but playing with the ideas in this book helped blunt that fear a bit. After all, I was just having fun.
I hate to say it but automation & robotocization of the store seems semi-inevitable in these conditions. Hell, it's somewhat near-to the advancement of vending machines, which have evolved to survive fairly hostile environments, although i'm imagining this at a bigger scale.

I also kind of picture The Melt[1] start-up. I'd never been there, never seen photos, but conceptually, The Melt, as an automated grilled cheese restauraunt, seems like a mix between a traditional on-demand restauraunt, and a vending machine.

Amazon Go[2] stores are another interesting data-point to consider, a highly automated store that monitors it's patrons & knows how to charge them. The marketing says "convenience" and lack of hassle, but also there's a huge automation/surveillance power play going on here too. Wait till an Amazon Kiva bot runs out of the wall & starts chasing you around, trying to taser you for shoplifting, & it'll have a different character... but it'll be built on the bones of this high end automated experience none-the-less.

There's plenty of sci-fi examples we could turn to too. In Altered Carbon the book, for example, Takeshi Kovacs stays at a highly-automated self-defending Hendrix hotel[3] ("Bay City", year 2384). There's already somewhat the vibe of living inside of an automated vending machine, which provides you on demand what you ask for,... once it knows it can charge you. In many ways I keep thinking, it's basically going to be like living inside a comfortable, cordoned off, consumer section of an Amazon warehouse, where the robots are still happy to serve.

Atm it seems like this is a somewhat localized problem, so perhaps we'll escape these grim-dark futures.

You don’t think conservatives do exactly the same thing? Cancelling isn’t unique to the left nor something that just recently started.
Skyrim has sold millions and millions and millions of copies with an inventory system that is downright painful, and essentially requires third-party mods to fix. It's not an isolated example.
It's even weirder than that.

With an unspecified subject "deal with it", it does mean "put up with" or abide. However, if your boss told you that "We haven't been paid yet; deal with it!", odds are good that you're expected to be on the phone or otherwise chasing down the tardy clients.
The belief that without Western / British "imperialism and mismanagement", Jews, Muslims (Shia and Suni) (and Christians) would just peacefully co-exist in Jerusalem is ... wishful thinking at best.
oh, you have NO IDEA.

How about: not hijacking your DNS to redirect domains? not using traffic shaping to favor content the ISP makes money from over other content? Not blocking torrent ports? Not having monthly usage caps? Not filtering or blocking content based on country of origin? Not blocking Tor? Not requiring you to rent the router/modem from the ISP and have them control it?

In other words, all those Net Neutrality things that the FCC took away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality
"Life of a VR frame" would sound better
This would assume that the father for instance is crashing cars into each other, wrestling his friends, shooting at the neighbors, jumping off the back of the couch, tearing heads off of dolls, etc.

Most of the behaviors I am discussing are not patterned by a parent in anyway.
No one cares what outsiders think when they are being assaulted on their walk home from work. If you want justice you must first create order.

In addition, it's not like these people don't have sympathy for the plight of the poor: they voted to spend vast sums on tax money trying to fix the root cause of the problem. It's not their fault that these efforts are failing.
Coming up with a poll question where any answer you give will be interpreted as support for the pollster's politics is an art. I totally believe that poll. A lot of those people probably wish they could express an ANTI-work opinion at work, but we'll never know how many because the poll was designed to not reveal exactly how popular or unpopular woke politics are.
I took a year off due to burnout. At about the 6-8 month mark I started getting anxious that I should be working again, and started feeling guilty about not doing anything.

In retrospect I wish I would have traveled or done something more with my time. Instead I just sort of chilled out a lot at home. I did try to get out more and go see live music, socialize, etc. Also I entered into a relationship which is still going on. So overall it was probably good for me, but my advice would be maybe to have a plan for what you want to do so you don't feel guilty that you are wasting time or being unproductive.
Police aren't obliged to tell the truth when they're questioning someone. Oddly it's frequently the case that people can put themselves in legal jeopardy if they lie to the police.

I can't find the link but it's possible there's an exception for the police themselves when they're being investigated i.e. they can't be lied to about the evidence against them. I can't find a link for that ... but I'm pretty sure I read that.
Content is king actually that keeps the site going. Even if you have a personal site and only users are 10 bots and 20 random users.

First website I had made is in 2007 it was full flash site. It was pretty much decent and hosted it on bravehost. After hosting it, I was done, didn't do anything much. Ten years later 2017 I upgraded my site it was full handmade with css and it had lots of things planned but again after 5 posts didn't touch much.

After that still my thought was making the site more attractive and I had ideas for posts/articles. I was collecting stuffs

https://bobbydreamer.com/things-that-my-new-site-should-have

One epiphany, what's the point of making the things attractive, if I dont continually add something. So I stopped everything I was doing

Looked into SSGs, picked Gatsby for speed they had some starter templates, picked the one from LekoArts started using it.

I had read fantastic blog posts from certain people from HackerNews but they had only one or two posts with the depth they had in their posts, I wish they had written more.

Looking at all of that consistency is the key. Here I have noted down the steps on how I did it and I follow it to add posts mostly once a month.

https://bobbydreamer.com/how-i-made-this-site

What I use to make this site
1. Content in markdown(MDX)
2. Using firebase for hosting
3. GitHub as version control.
I haven't had issues with plugin bloat, personally.

A nice feature is you can disable/enable plugins per workspace so you can only load your Java plugins for your java projects, etc.
You might have less average negative experiences in the home if everyone were only allowed to buy new Ikea furniture and appliances directly from Ikea. But there are a lot of reasons people would find that level of restrictiveness unacceptable.

I don't really see how that relates to my explaining the subtext of the 'blind to race' thing, though.
>> He ran around the backyard using sticks as guns.

> Since sticks (in nature) have none of the function of guns, this is certainly a learned behaviour from social observation.

Certainly part of it, but I'd bet if you gave the girl a stick to play with, she'd probably start doing something like pretending it was a baby. The specific behaviors are learned, but the preferences may not be.

I suspect that if you manged to raise some boys and girls a a completely gender neutral environment without those social influences, they'd spontaneously invent primitive and somewhat disorganized versions of the same behaviors (sort of like with language, e.g. a critical mass of deaf children will spontaneously invent a sign language together if they're not taught one).
The poster you’re responding to may know and agree with all this as well, and that could be why they hold the position they do: They may be opposed to society changing.
Right, so if you believe that, then you believe someone who fails to do that is doing poorly in their job.

That doesn't make them a hobbyist. It makes them bad at their job.

If you equate people who are bad at their jobs with hobbyists, it implies that hobbyists are bad at what they do which is simply untrue. Many hobbyists are very very good at what they do and they are usually free from the constraints that come with a job (e.g., doing what your manager thinks is important rather than what you think is important).

i'm ok with pushing the importance of accessibility for "websites intended for the general public", but there are a very large number of web projects out there with a very targeted audience that simply do not have the same accessibility needs as a large retail or informational or government website. Internal webapps for known users are what a lot of us are working on, and accessibility is often not much of a concern.

I wish more companies would do profiling breakdowns like this. Not to laud Oculus (or Facebook for that matter) since their business mostly depends on millisecond optimization, but I really think transparency with respect to performance is a hotly expanding medium. When Rockstar patched the obnoxiously long GTA 5 loading times a few months ago, I think they opened an avenue for more developers to be honest about their development cycle. It's not as though a bug like that could be ignored: whoever was testing or profiling the game's loading time must have just swept it under the rug and hoped nobody would care too much about a bloated JSON parser. Hopefully going forwards we can push the industry in a performant direction, instead of abstracting everything into containers and adding more overhead.
Who are “elites” in this case?
Not sure what you are trying to say here. Let's try again.

Are you aware of any other metric for covid infection, comparable between different countries?

Please pay attention to the examples I already gave about how numbers from Israel and the UK make, specifically, "cases" and "deaths from covid" non-comparable.

And remember that I do not dispute that "excess death" is far from perfect. My claim is that -- inherently -- every other measure of covid infection suffers from the same problems that "excess death" does, and then some.
It's happening here where I live - we have a locally owned grocery store has had to reduce hours, post a guard, and now is considering closing because of rampant shoplifting.
I agree 100%! Constitutional rights are a great example, those don’t stop when you enter the workplace and need to be protected 24/7.

So no doubt you’ll be happy to sign my petition to further protect our 2nd amendment right to carry a concealed weapon at work! Yeah, right there, just sign. Oh you don’t support the constitution? When you said we should bring these fights to work you meant just the ones you support. Ohh....
> She's unwilling to do programming interviews

It should be obvious but if someone's not willing to change, they won't change. If it were me, I would probably stop trying to help her. It seems like she's even made that clear to you "she's unwilling to take advice from...me"

I know it's probably not what you wanted to hear.
This is a result of soft on crime policies, also known as “restorative justice”. It involves changing laws to reduce penalties, directing police departments to not enforce certain laws, releasing offenders instead of sentencing them, and following activist driven demands when it comes to the justice system. A number of cities have seen shoplifters and even dangerous criminals released repeatedly due to these progressive policies, and it has had the same effect of encouraging crime in each location.

As a result Chesa Boudin, the SF DA, is facing a recall campaign (https://recallchesaboudin.org/) as is LA DA George Gascon (https://recallgeorgegascon.com/). Seattle has had massive spikes in low level crimes and business associations have put out reports (https://allianceforpioneersquare.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2...) tracking repeat offenders who cycle through the system and continue to victimize the community.

There was a recent guest article on Glenn Greenwald’s Substack about the consequences of progressive reform policies from the DA in Philadelphia that is worth reading as a deep analysis into the effect of these policies: https://outsidevoices.substack.com/p/mounting-violence-casts...

Trump enacted controls (used the US Defense Production Act) which prevented manufacturers from exporting until all domestic orders were fulfilled. It was questionable whether it was enforceable, but manufacturers have followed it. Biden has continued this policy. Even to the point of hoarding vaccines not yet approved in the US (AstraZeneca) though they did eventually relent and give a smattering of expiring doses to Mexico and Canada.

In addition there's recent controversy about US export controls on medical supplies & materials which would be used for administration or production of vaccines as well:

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/04/24/world/covid-vaccine-...

Canada did invest early. With Pfizer's Belgium plant. But so did everyone else.

"There are no, as far as I'm aware of, any trade restrictions on vaccines being shipped to Canada from the United States" -- You're just plain wrong.
Indeed. That's why capitalism is strictly better than communism - communism can exist within capitalism. Simply buy the land, invite people, build houses, farms & factories, and have everyone sign contracts saying that they co-own everything.

The lack of such communities (large-scale) demonstrates that stealing from others is essential for establishing communism.
I don't see any reason to pay for anything less than $950 now. Lots of goodies at the union square apple store.
Pretty much. Where I grew up it was more or less equivalent to "ain't that a bitch!"

As with anything, we need to ask ourselves how something can be used to attack political enemies and punish outsiders. The woke politics thing is dangerous, and I think organizations (like the CIA) will ultimately be the ones to wield this power against the people, even if they haven't fully mechanized it yet. That is because this isn't just "politics" as the article asserts. This is a form of ambiguous morality (one is expected to just know when something is wrong, and everyone is expected to agree) which requires the use of an oracle (CoC, D&I council, etc) that exists outside of the traditionally enumerable, rules-based systems based on the rule of law, except that it additionally can't be questioned or opted out of. This is the most ideal thing imagineable for people who want to weaponize the workplace to achieve their own ends. Proponents of this system, beware.
What do you make of the US senators reactions? I mean they have received classified briefings on this topic and the incidents and there are multiple incidents where the UAPs are registered on multiple sensors, radar, FLIR, and human witnesses with all collaborating and consistent details. I default to skepticism and metabunk is a great read on many topics but we are probably nearing a point of failure to debunk on many incidents. There is something and the question is what is it.
No mention of Halo 2 I see. Halo 2 had an amazing UI/UX for forming multiplayer parties, keeping the party together across multiple games, managing the party members, and keeping the party together while the 'leader' managed which matchmaking playlist the party was in. It took a long time, but it seems like most modern multiplayer games have come around to doing things Bungie's way; It's a shame it took so long. A lot of games suffered not for gameplay but for game setup.
The problem is that there's no real evidence that being tough on crime is a very effective way of solving the problem.

You look at jurisdictions that are "soft" on crime - Scandinavia, New Zealand etc. and invariably all of them have figured out non-punitive methods of crime reduction that are far more effective than jail. This is reflected in crime statistics.

(and before you mention Singapore, it's worth pointing out that they have many, many policies in place to alleviate poverty and social unrest - government housing, world class education, a strong economy, national service etc. in addition to their strict laws. I'm not arguing that the laws do nothing, but you can't just beat an uneducated, poor, fatherless person with a stick and expect them to be a productive member of society.)
> You don’t think conservatives do exactly the same thing? Cancelling isn’t unique to the left nor something that just recently started.

Yes, conservatives did the same thing during Mccarthyism, and it's widely accepted to have been a bad thing. A different group having made the same mistake in the past is a reason not to do it again, not an excuse to do more of it.

By definition a paper which is wrong is going to be cited a whole bunch as people disprove it though.

The real issue is that citation count is a terrible metric and always has been (when I was doing research the magic you wanted was the low but not no citation count paper which went into a huge amount of detail on exactly what they did).
What is it that makes you have a nice career in research? Is it a robust pile of publishing or is it a star finding? Can you get far on just pure volume?

> The streamer that caused this blog to be written basically uses her twitch channel as a front to sell her nudes on another site.

As long as the content on Twitch isn't sexual, I don't think it matters to Twitch (or advertisers) if it's serving as lead-gen for something that is sexual. Content produced as lead-gen can be valuable for its own sake.

(See also: every YouTuber who provides some professional service for a living, and films themselves doing that service as a way to make people interested in employing them, such that their channel doubles as a professional portfolio of their work.)
Ahh OK, interesting. That seems like more of an HTML issue than a CSS one (putting the close button element outside of the container element which it's associated with). I'll carry on doing things the way I already do then.

Doesn't even have to be paper shares. You can call up your broker and ask them to transfer X shares of ABC company into someone else's account. It is useful and essential to be able to transfer shares from one person to another without having to hit the open market. Like, imaging transferring 10% of a publicly traded company you own to the account of your family office.

Are papers ever cited if the results are disproven? Would papers have cited the notorious Wakefield paper on vaccines and autism if they were writing about how their results do not match that paper? Does that count as a cite?
honestly i think the problem here is the standard 40 work week monopolizing societies time. in the last 50 years worker productivity has shot up but the hours worked have stayed the same. we have multiple studies showing greater productivity with shorter work days or shorter work weeks but we insist on keeping 40 hour 5 day weeks.

If people had more time outside of work they could do this outside of work.
