Yeah, the "freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences" response that some liberals give has always puzzled me. It is internally inconsistent for a liberal ideology.

1. They believe that "wage slavery" exists. That is, an employee may freely agree to employment conditions under a capitalist view, but under the liberal view, they have not freely agreed since various coercive forces exist that force them agree to the employment conditions. So if a liberal believes a "freely" agreed to job is actually not free due to coercive conditions, then a liberal should also believe that free speech is not free when coercive conditions exist that control speech.

2. The idea that any consequence of free speech is acceptable is easily countered: the consequence of you calling an insane person stupid is they kill you. Obviously no normal person would think that is acceptable. So every normal person, including those liberals with internal inconsistency in this argument, know that the argument should actually be about what consequences are warranted in response to speech.
I think the delegation of trust is already what is kind of happening in terms of academics trusting journals.

I do agree that there's probably some cleverer solution on a personal level, but I think the journal system exists as a kind of guard against untrusted actors, and yet fails.

That's odd. For a long time the standard response in the US was to severely throttle connection speed for some duration if there were too many notices within a given time period.
Innocent until proven guilty by a fair trial. Not the other way around.

The entire point of justice was to be less tribal. Social justice now is the opposite.
It's who has the biggest tribal cannon they can point at someone they disagree with. Not whether the facts support the claim.
Sure, but in general, decentralization will make it harder to effectively steer institutions and behavior with collusion.

Dogma, religious or otherwise, is nothing else than a by-product of the gregarious characteristics of our nature.

The use of logic does not help much as long as emotions are strong, we can only reason by stepping back and be as detached as possible.
I hope someone repeats this study with coffee, adjusting the dose to match the amount of caffeine. The results would be different due to the presence of psychoactive MAOIs in coffee.
I don't think it's nearly as prevalent in Academia. I agree that that sort of deception is quickly punished in Academia if it's discovered and publicized, but I think it still is viewed positively in private contexts. I think it's more of a cultural issue in general.

You can read a bunch of articles on Bernie Madoff, Martin Shkreli and Billy McFarland that romanticize the cunning with which these folks exploited others. Most pieces on them will present an overall negative tone but often feature some pretty glowing admiration of them. Let's also not forget that tax evasion by Trump was praised repeatedly as him beating the system - that's a pretty common view point, more common (especially when it comes to taxes) than the view that those individuals are failing to pay their fair share from what I've observed at least. Trumps a complicated example due to all the political baggage around him so maybe just look at companies like Apple, Google and Facebook - they regularly offshore large portions of their profits and I really doubt the people working to those ends feel any shame, instead it's likely a "beating the system" motivation.

It isn't unfathomable, just extremely rare. There simply aren't a lot of people with <$200K/yr total comp who are investing in random pre-seed startups, and even if they exist very few companies will actually take their money.
In CS basically everything is on ArXiv.. so the ideas and information are out there. The conference publication gives exposure and some credential-ism but still the idea is already out there to evaluate.
Not OP, but I lived in PR for 2 months, got back to NYC for a month and now back to PR. Things are getting back to normal here, vaccination rate has accelerated rapidly, and the island just ended its year-long curfew:

Infrastructure-wise, frankly... I don't see any construction work, whatsoever. Biden released 1bn funds for Puerto Rico 2 months ago, so I'd suppose that money is now being readied for spending.
But researchers and clinicians don't believe that ASD is a single disorder. No professional assumes that clinical classification implies only a single underlying etiology, and a cluster of phenotypes for clinical distress is precisely what a classification is for.

I have no reason to look at /r/all and neither do you if you don't like it. Just subscribe to subreddits you want to see.

The default Reddit experience isn't my cup of tea, either. But if you spend some time looking for communities that you're interested in, you end up with a pretty good thing.

When you get your Professional Engineering license. You also get the PE stamp which allows you to approve public projects.

When you give your stamp of approval on a project then you're legally liable for it.

You can be sued for incompetence. Then, you have to go to court and defend yourself. Or, more commonly, your company will send a lawyer but you still may be called to testify.
I've written before about this: there has long been a "protein orthodoxy" which always defaults to the hypothesis that if something interesting happened, protein did it.

For example when people finally reached the interesting question "what is the molecule which confers heredity", almost everybody thought it had to be proteins, and the mainstream worked hard to ignore the entirely factual and reproducible findings until they couldn't any longer (basically, the period before Avery's experiment, and between it and Hershey/Chase).

The same happened with ribosomes: the community insisted ribosomes were protein machines with some RNA decoration, even though experiments done in the 60s and 70s showed that RNA was the active element. Similarly, with ribozymes- RNA that folds up into structures and carries out specific enzymatic reactions. People worked really hard to avoid changing their mind that only proteins could be enzymes.

Interstingly, the best example I've seen is the opposite: prions. When I was in grad school, the professor who was the expert on prions was at my institution, and had just about managed to run the experiments fully supporting his hypothesis (that prions are infection proteins and the replication process is distinct from that of bacterial or viral replication). The only way you could get the virologists to stop complaining was to point out that it wasn't theoretically impossible that proteins could catalyze other proteins to change shape in a chain reaction, and that Prusiner had reduced everything to a working system in mice that could be reproduced by anybody willing to wait the 60 days a single experiment took.
> It should be impossible for any set of non-damaged, non-defective, spec-compliant set of USB-C cables and peripherals to cause fires.

That is a fairly significant list of conditions. As an example, I have encountered significant heating in a damaged power cable on the original power supply of a laptop from a reputable vendor. It's easy to argue the owner should immediately replace the damaged power supply, yet many people will continue to use problematic hardware until it no longer functions. It is also the case that many companies will manufacture components down to a price (or, in the case of this vendor, for aesthetics) rather than make something that is robust.

I find it a bit disconcerting that we're talking about delivering 240 W over a cable that consumers are unlikely to differentiate from a 15 W cable (i.e. USB-C specification) or even from a 2.5 W cable (e.g a USB cable they would have used fifteen years ago).
Definitely +1 on needing to vet no matter what--no amount of clever corporate structure or legal agreement will save you from someone being a pain

Nope. Give me an option to own it and host it's services myself, or it's not even an upgrade over the current landscape of devices.

That's my exit. Good luck!
That's not what I said. The parent comment (and others in this thread) seem to think that these kind of accusations are always bad. I tend to think that accusations are usually well-intentioned and well-founded.
Perhaps you're not aware that "fringe idea" is precisely the type of research that can turn out to usurp the mainstream and disrupt old paradigms.

The idea that the earth travels around the sun was once a "fringe idea."

> he is so clearly using his tenure as a defense against the ... untestability, of his ideas.

The idea of the earth going around the sun was untestable until Tycho Brahe got enough data and Kepler put it together in a way that could more parsimoniously and accurate predict planetary motion.

In other words, the experience that you describe perfectly fits into his argument. You might want to read Kuhn's "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" to get the full picture.
You're both well into anecdata territory. Your 'extremely rare' is my 'pretty common' and I'm sure that there are situations where it isn't.
As far as I know most OEM and aftermarket brake pads still contain asbestos and there is no ban on them. I read your links but they don't support the statement, "New vehicles sold in North America no longer have asbestos pads".
All human institutions centered on thought and theory are susceptible to the same social illnesses.

Science, religion, politics, programming...

I've been working on a book about this for a while. The framework makes me sound like a bastard but I truly believe the comparison can withstand legitimate scrutiny.

It's not that these institutions at their best are the same, it's that the same shams, grifters, cults and hoodwinkers exist in all of them. The same arguments from popularity, deceptions through marketing and pack animal mentalities.

At their worst they are all the same. At their best, they are of course quite different.

It's always worth remembering that even the most noble human project also has all the grotesque qualities of the human spirit buried within it. Diligence is always required.
Interesting. Got a bug report I can track for those browsers?
my working hypothesis on spectrums of all sorts is that we inevitably misrepresent the extremes as separate phenomena (because, strong esteem boost for the “discoverer”), rather than the ends of a continuous distribution, and that causes us to misunderstand all sorts of as-yet-unexplained phenomena as problems. severe autism certainly looks like something different, but we’ve let the label, and the stigmatization that inevitably follows, to trickle down the distribution until it butts unnaturally right up against “normal” (asperger’s, in this example), creating cognitive dissonances we can’t reconcile. you also see this with adhd, introversion/extroversion, and all sorts of psychosocial categorizations.
I’m speaking about the more general pile on.

Some of the more specific ones could be ex-post re-rationalizing. Like when someone discovers their neighbor was a crook, suddenly his or her demeanor in retrospect was suspicious, or had wide eyes or had eyes close together, said hi but said it fast, or never said hi, or something whatever it is that sets them apart from non crooks.
I mean, to me that sadly is nothing new. I've known my share of people who just assume by default that people they don't know are jerks, and are hostile toward them. I don't know what you would call it. Untrusting? I can't see where you would cross that line and all of a sudden start calling it "cancel culture" or "consequence culture" or whatever. Is it because it's happening online now?

Or worse: to find out that you have someone on board that causes other investors who do their homework to pass on your investment. Not all potential angel investors got their money in a legal/ethical way. So you definitely want to know who you are taking on board.

Post author here — I'm not affiliated with AngelList at all, though I did invest via one of their RUVs once and was a fan of the experience.

(I'd largely written the post before even being aware of that offering, which is why it's kinda tacked on at the end.)

The problem is not the Apple tax. It's apple app store, they should be able to charge the commission fee they wish. The problem is not allowing other app stores/sideloading on iOS.
It is part of our evolution to prioritize our safety within our social group over being right.

> emacs lisp is not the best language in the world

Emacs-lisp is a Lisp. It may not be the best of Lisps, but even a bad Lisp can be far more powerful than many other non-lispy languages. To understand what makes Emacs so awesome, one has to understand the philosophy of Lisp. Emacs Lisp is not just a text editor, IDE, email client, project management tool, scientific calculator, etc.

Emacs, first and foremost is a Lisp environment. Definitely not the most ideal, but certainly the best one we have today.

> I think emacs having more plugins is a consequence of its design and philosophy, not the extension language itself

I believe, Emacs held the crown of "the most malleable" tool for over forty years, specifically because it builds on top of Lisp.

Number of plugins is not an indicator. They also have to "play nicely" with each other. I just checked - I pull over four hundred Emacs packages in my config, including built-ins and dependency libs. I just cannot imagine any other IDE or text editor with 400 plugins installed. That's just not possible.

Congrats on actually writing it on English! From someone that's also ESL, I know how hard it is to write decently. In the end, I think that can be part of the problem.

In another comment, someone mentioned that they wouldn't have guessed English is not your native language. But passing as a native speaker is one thing, passing as a good native writer is another.

But I hope you keep writing and keep evolving!
I think if you have the desire and the time to combine these skills, then it's a good idea to do this. If you enjoy building and optimizing pipelines and if you enjoy doing creating analytics, stats and building models, you will be very much in demand and it will be pretty lucrative. Most people don't do this, because it takes a long time, and they enjoy one over the other.

1. This really depends on the DS role at a company. You are describing a company where DS is highly valued and has a lot of power. They probably have representation with a VP or in the C suite. Some companies are like this.

2. DE should be foundational, and they should also be able to push to production. You might have another team which works on setting up new platform environments, but DE better be comfortable pushing and debugging issues in production. It's helpful for DE to be able to perform exploratory analysis on a dataset. It's easy to introduce bugs, if DE can catch this, then it really improves the velocity. If they can't do this, then you need to wait for DS or somebody to act like QA for a dataset. You can find cheaper DEs who are good at shoveling data around, but they don't know what a probability distribution is.

3. It's helpful for DS to have some domain knowledge. If they have that, and DS is highly valued at the company, then it makes sense for the DS role to contain a Product Management component.

I'm glad you are interested in my thoughts on this. If you have any more follow up questions, feel free to ask.
It wasn't the talc, it was the asbestos located near the mines and showed up in samples taken over the years, which J&J also obscured and best and covered up at worst.
Certainly no violence in the 3 Stooges. Lol, every episode would be considered a documentary of domestic abuse today.
Weird to see Ace Hardware on the list as they're a retail co-op where most of the stores are locally or regionally owned. It's hard to believe that this is something that's deployed at locations nationwide and makes me wonder if they had to say yes even if it's only a few locations (perhaps corporate owned) using it.
Some of the products aren't even sunscreens, like "After-sun Aloe Vera Soothing Spray".
I really hope that something like this might help save some lives in the COVID hotspots from lack of oxygen.

The boast about this being the only article using AC is bugging me a bit though, because the AC is being fed through a bridge rectifier first.

The other thing that’s bugging me is all the mentions of efficiency but no measurements of their set up. Why bother bringing up efficiency if you don’t care about it?
I suspect you're tripping on the flowers of the carpet. Telemetry here is not a word meaning "call home and report user data", it means "telemetry" in the sense that a Mars rover sends back positioning & orientation data back to NASA for control. The usage of this tool is equivalent to having a query engine for application logs, or a statsd server to render graphs.

It's just a protocol to see how systems are performing, but a better one than statsd or logs.
Actually trust is both a symptom and a cause. The causality goes both ways.

(1) If you lose trust in someone, you'll be less likely to try to find truth in their statements. Finding truth in someone's statements requires time and attention, and we'll invest that attention in people we trust.

(2) If you find falsehoods in their statements, you will lose trust in them.

Overall in Psychology, trust is a primary indicator of a relationship, marriage, partnership, or organization succeeding or falling apart. It's both a symptom and a cause of all other factors.
It has long seemed like there was soft collusion in academics anyway. There is plenty of complaining and suspicion about how bad and rigged reviews can sometimes seem to be. There are plenty of rumors of PIs who influence what gets published through back-channel alleys. But even in the absence of outright nefarious activity, there's a reinforcement cycle where bigger labs influence what papers get in, receive more grant money, and get better about influencing what papers get in. Even gently guiding what topics are acceptable, in the long term shuts out newcomers. Just about any graduate student by the time they graduate has reviewed papers in a "double blind" system where they could reliably identify the authors, there are always tell-tale markers and styles. It's really hard to find true anonymity.

I've been thinking on an off about review system that might improve on things. I'm imagining perhaps: reviewers and authors both get to see who they are, and conflicts of interest can be called out by other people after review and before publication; reviewers are chosen at random, not allowed to bid; reviewers are sent a series of pairs of papers, and asked to choose which one they'd rather see, scores and ultimately publication can be decided by rank choice vote rather than reviewer assignment; comments on paper improvement would be completely optional. Would this be better or worse than what we have? Would it deter explicit collusion?
The issue is more the ubiquity-- when everything from my phone, to Nintendo Switch, to headphones, to flashlight, to laptop use the same cord for power and data, it's a bigger problem than the low spec HDMI cable you plug in once.
Burden of proof for what? To charge him with a crime? Sure.

But random people are free to make whatever conclusions about him that they want, with as little or as much evidence as they personally require to render their judgement. You don’t get to tell other people how they should form their opinions.

It isn’t fair, but there is no other way for the world to work. Everyone has their own criteria for judging people... we can put legal requirements on some things (like what criteria you can use to determine if you hire someone, or rent them an apartment, or let them into your store), but people are free to dislike someone for whatever reason they want.
Haha, yes I’m sure that will still be true a hundred+ years from now. We’re stuck with our initial conditions.
Given the precedent the same laws will apply to the new oil concern.

Of course Netherlands will not have power to enforce rules on fully foreign oil concerns not operating in the Netherlands.

But at least the demand from the Nederlands is appropriately reduced.

There is no single magical solution to this problem. Everyone needs to do their part.
The "I BOUGHT A THING!" posts reek of astroturfing in my opinion; just browse /tea or /breadit and you'll see the same item posted every single week reach the top page.

I do wonder how many of them are actually sponsored/artificially promoted by the company's PR department vs just natural hive-mind. In the end it doesn't matter because the posts are of zero value...
Thanks for clearing this up. I don't make sandwiches very often, but putting it in plumbing terms made it a lot easier to digest!
As a founder I would be quite weary of an entity such as Angelists running the roll-up vehicle, I'd rather have a small committee of trusted angel investors (usually the larger ones) do this instead of some commercial entity.
