I would expect they don’t have very clear cut answers because both involve interactions with extremely complex systems that no one person is capable of fully understanding.

I don’t know the explanations for why we hear such conflicting confident answers, but this is my suspicion:

I imagine in both cases the majority of experts in the field would provide somewhat nuanced advice, couched in cautions about how much about these systems they don’t know or fully understand. None of those experts break through.

What does break through is all you end up hearing from, which is a smaller minority on each side willing to make bold and confident predictions.

I totally agree with you, same thing happened in Italy and I believe that a state should sponsor "good" culture, especially when they use public money to do that.

But then again, I don't think I'd like to see how a state that chooses which culture is good and bad develops, let alone live in it.

Maybe the trick is to give this kind of money to people that are a bit older than 18?

For sure I'd push for the bonus to be used on local culture, and not foreign

Yeah, but the number of people trying to make money from affiliate links is apparently near-infinite as well. A vs B product comparison is amazingly well covered. For the times I've searched for it at least. Reddit forums handle a good chunk of it.

Come to think of it, that might be why Google wants to make these kinds of things automatic and structured. Perhaps they think the shopper's experience could be streamlined and more likely to purchase if comparisons are more consistent.

Not to solve real quadratic equations with real solutions. In that case, negative discriminants mean there is no solution.

Whereas in the cubic case, you can come across Square roots of negative numbers when finding real solutions in real equations.

Hence, you can treat the quadratic case within the world of just the reals. Whereas the cubic case doesn't work that easily when working with just the reals.
I hate it, but there's some truth to this. Good products cost money, and good design attracts attention, which brings in cash. Without Jobs' attention to aesthetics, I think it's fair to say we wouldn't have (for one example) the M1 chip today.

We haven't even come close to figuring out or even being sufficiently empathetic to the suffering we cause, to other humans and other creatures. I don't think those creatures want or need our pity with regards to suffering that is inherent to life (as well as to joy -- I make a Taoist point there).

The alternative to the suffering (and joy) inherent to advanced (feeling or conscious) life forms is either a universe without advanced life, or very robotic life, or...

Can advanced life evolve, physically or culturally, to a point where individuals aren't predominantly selfish? Selfism is the root of all evil. If you look behind every moral failure or myopic human decision, it's people making very locally (tribal/space/time) optimized decisions at the expense of the greater and longer term good.

Yeah, in my experience no one uses or supports that specification, which is a shame because if you're using something like AWS Connect with AWS Lex for telephony IVR, you can't just create a grammar and then have AWS Lex figure out how to turn its recognized speech-to-text into something that matches a grammar rule. Thus, Lex will return speech-to-text results that are according to general English grammar rules, rather than what you might have prompted the user to reply with. You'll be unpleasantly surprised if you think that defining a custom entity as alphanumeric always prevents the utterance "[wʌn]" as sometimes matching "won" instead of "one" or "1".

Edit - Sorry, I realize that's a tangent. What I'm saying is that when I was evaluating speech to text engines for things like IVR systems using AWS and Google, neither of them supported SRGS. Microsoft does, I think, but they didn't have a telephony component, and IBM was ignored from the get go, so "no one" really means "two very large companies."
Twitch does not see it as a problem. Advertisers (the actual important group in this discussion) and the gaming side of the Twitch community do care, for different reasons.

I try not be elitist or unwelcoming to newcomers, but yeah uh why should we lower the bar? Are the newcomers somehow incapable of learning engineering at the same level that the old ones did? Its no fun to work with people who aren't as motivated and cry for a lower bar instead of rising to the challenge. Its easy to work with someone more motivated than you but it sucks to work with someone less motivated.
I feel like you have to believe at least one of these 3:

3) Animal pain does matter.

Personally I favor 3)

how wold a private security company protect your house? If they were there in the driveway 24x7 then maybe. Once your house is robbed or being robbed if you have to call someone it's already too late.

i was a victim of a home invasion and maybe 10 years later a violent crime. In both cases only after the real danger was over did a call for help happen.

In the home invasion it ended when the gunman was forcing my roommate to the garage, my roommate opened the door, the gunman walked out, he then slammed/locked the door behind him and we hit the deck calling 911

In the second case i was jumped from behind and knocked nearly unconscious before being robbed. It took me a full 15min to get the brain fog cleared to even think what to do next.

i don't see how an app is going to offer any protection at all. Maybe it speeds up reporting crime??

One big complaint I have about Zoom is that the user has little control over bandwidth usage. For upload, all you control is SD vs HD. For audio, no control. And seemingly no control over download, but it will use less if you run it in thumbnail mode.

A big headache in my experience. Different NFS servers lie about whether or not they really fsync writes when the clients request it, so you can end up with clobbered writes and corrupted databases in the worst case, and lots of "database is locked" errors that persist for longer than they should in the best case.

This culture is far more widespread than just twitch.
To expound on the other comments a bit more clearly: if it's the drive of a large portion of consumers that they only want to consume apps from the App Store because of the ecosystem that provides it should not require forcing everyone that has an iPhone to use the App Store, usage of the App Store and interest in apps working to get on it/pay dues should be a natural results of a large percentage of the customer base choosing to force apps to do such not a large portion of the customer base being forced into it because the hardware picks for them.

Yeah, the "Bad #2" example, how Chrome does it, makes perfect sense and seems correct to me. Modifiers get removed when the character they're modifying is removed. I would say leaving the modifier and applying it to the previous character would be certainly incorrect (unless you're in a hex editor, in which case combining the bytes as emoji at all is questionable). Imagine it were two different emojis and a skin color modifier after the last one (and somehow, through a rendering bug, the skin color modifier hadn't auto-combined) - OP's precedent for what happens when deleting the middle emoji would move the modifier to the first emoji! Clearly wrong, especially if it then decides to auto-combine.

I mean, the example is pretty contrived in the first place:

> Whoops, I didn't mean to put the a there.

How in the world are you typing emoji such that you have to add the skin color modifier separately that would even afford an opportunity for an errant character to get inserted between? Windows numpad alt codes?

I have implemented something quite similar, over a decade ago, for a credit card terminal application.

Basically the idea is to have the intent to send the message saved in a local database (actually a single byte denoting state of the FSM for the communication with central system). Once saved, it means it it is possible that the message was sent. This is important detail, because retries need to have a flag set so that central system takes special care to possibly match it with previous transmission.

Once the record is saved, it is reminder for the application that there is exchange that needs to be performed and the terminal will retry the transaction on various occasions until it receives response from the central system, which should conclude with the state byte changed to indicate the communication was completed.

I really hope the concept of "you can't be anti-competitive if you own the entire ecosystem" dies.
- Open source money is flexible, you just have to convince enough people to be willing participants rather than coerce them. Competition ends up making everything better for everyone.

- If the state needs to borrow or raise money, it can still do so. It will make an offer to the capital market. These were previously called "war bonds".

> you have to type out the spaces/tabs you want to reach the area you what to add text

If you move the cursor to an empty area and start typing, should the missing characters be tabs or spaces then? Or NULs?

Also, how do you insert spaces/newlines/tabs in between other text? Everything would be implicitly modal.

It's good UI for some things, but it's not as good for a general editor like vim. I'm not looking forward to write Python with it, for example :)

Yes, and just imagine how bad the situation will be when the police is privatized and accountable only to their shareholders.

The current situation is not good, but I have hope that in the past year we've hit a turning point where we'll actually start seeing some improvements (they will be slow and incomplete improvements, but they will be progress in the right direction).

Privatized police, on the other hand, is about as dystopian as it gets.

> AArch32 is irrelevant in the context of the M1.

Is it? It's not like Apple moving MacBooks to M1 happened in a vacuum. M1 is only the latest in a whole series of Apple ARM chips, about half of which were non-aarch64.

That context actually seems extremely relevant to me; it demonstrates that Apple is not just jumping wholesale to a brand new architecture. They migrated the way large companies usually do: slowly, incrementally, testing the waters as they go. And aarch64 was absolutely not involved in the formative stages (which are arguably the most important bits) of that process. It hadn't even come into existence yet when Apple released their first product based on Apple Silicon. Heck, you can make a case that the process's roots go way back before Apple Silicon, all the way back to ~1990, when Apple first shipped the Newton.

Note, too, that the person I was originally replying to didn't say "M1", they said "Apple Silicon." In the interest of leaving the goalpost in one place, I followed that precedent.
Well, look at it from the Government's perspective: they cannot ignore those who are actively advocating for the overthrow of the State, self-preservation is one of the most important goals of the State.

As for right wing conspiracy theories: I think we just have to accept that there will be conspiracy theories no matter what we do. The whole QAnon nonsense was based on complete fiction. The only way to really combat it is probably for the Government to be transparent in what its doing, and an independent media with high quality journalists plays a huge role in doing that (part of what resulted in this article).
