Narrator's voice: They did!
It's not a question of precision, but rather one of convention. In this case, the convention is that a marketing line glosses over huge swaths of reality in order to give a simple and compelling narrative (people like things to appear simple, even if they're not - and even if they KNOW they're not). So calling out imprecisions and inaccuracies in this context reflects poorly upon you because everyone is already aware of the unspoken assumptions being made, and take criticisms about things already covered by the assumptions as unnecessary and irritating pedantry. As in a "Yes, we KNOW that it's not technically 100% accurate, please stop being annoying." sort of response.

From my impression of your word choice and sentence structure, I'm making the assumption that you have autistic traits, which is why I'm explaining in more detail and on a social level.

On the bright side, smart speakers aren't even a little bit essential, so it's easy enough to just not buy them if this starts happening. I don't think the value proposition of an always-on device connected to a vast advertising network is very high to begin with. Throw in subliminal advertising and you'd have to be very... dedicated... to want such a device.

If it succeeds even a little, though, they'll bake it into our TVs and phones that are plugged in at night. Those are much harder for people to give up.

Maybe somebody will jump in with pod beds that hide us from our devices at night. Like a giant active noise cancelling headphone cup to sleep in. Smart enough to let us hear little things like fire alarms or panicked screams, of course.
Just a heads up - fsspec has an (optional) dependency on s3fs which has a requirement on aiobotocore, which in turn is currently locked to an ancient boto3 version. Versioning fsspec[s3fs] in projects with other boto3 dependencies is a nightmare.

Parent's argument of the interactions between individual and population effects is not related to the current Covid vaccines (i.e. only trivially so, like any other vaccine/drug).

In fact, because the population size in the phase 3/4 trials of the current Covid vaccines is several times larger than most drug trials (current and past ones), relative to almost all other drugs you should have a preference for the vaccines (given risk similar risk profiles).
During the pull request lifetime, only messages from Github are sent to Slack. This enables our users to use Slack as a center of notifications and let them have more synchronous communication if a conflict appears (if they want to). The other way is only to save the Slack communication as Documentation for future context if the pull request needs to be reviewed again in the future (after it has been merged or closed).

Github's conversations are fine until a conflict appears, when two opposite point of views are confronted, what usually happens is to jump on a call or continue the conversation in Slack. As most of the conversation are still in Github, we do not feel that we split the conversation but rather use Slack as a way to let them stay top on mind if your review is required.

Moreover, there aren't only comment's notifications but Github Action, deployments and soon more that takes place in their respective pull request channel. Some people are more likely to use Axolo as a new way to handle code review conversations, some other as a new center of notification.

If you have other points of friction in mind, please do share them, that helps us better identify potential issues!
Actor frameworks remove some of the ceremony around async message passing, but the central issue of scalability is "canonical state" and how well commands and queries on that scale.

It's a bit like tech support in tiers. You have one CEO, but you don't get the CEO on every tech support call. You have bunch of layers trying to satisfy you until you get there.

The problem is those layers may also provide very poor UX.

Its a weird article. It casts the Indian Parsis as some kind of weird little minority with little power.
it couldnt be farther from the truth. The Indian Parsi have had an outsized impact across the world.

The Tata Sons Group - one of the world's largest business empires (which incidentally owns Jaguar Land Rover) was created by the Tata Parsi family. Ratan Tata is basically Dale Carnegie and Rockefeller rolled into one.

The second largest Godrej group in India is Parsi.

Home Bhabha is the father of India's nuclear program. Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw was India's only Field Marshal and probably the most legendary military warrior ever.

The controversial political family of India - the Gandhis are a half Parsi family.

The world's largest COVID vaccine manufacturer and the backbone of India's COVID effort (as well as the global COVAX program) is the Poonawaala family which runs Serum Institute of India.

Zubin Mehta - the world's most famous orchestra conductor is an Indian Parsi.

Oh and I nearly forgot.... Freddie Mercury ...yes that Freddie Mercury is a Parsi. His real name is Farrokh Bulsara.

This is really amazing when you consider that there are barely a few hundred thousand of them in a country of 1.3 billion people.
I understand where you're coming from! Let me dodge your question by saying that, at least for me, the RM2 provides too little . Remarkable (the company) seems to pursuing Apple's vision here in that they're trying to avoid feature bloat – this I appreciate but I still think they should provide more than the most basic of features.

As for the Supernote, it comes with quite a few features I love but also a few ones (email, cloud sync, OCR) I don't really use. But that's fine as they never get in my way, so I don't really notice them.

One exception where the RM2 is (still?) superior feature-wise: Brush styles. The Supernote doesn't come with a lot of options here and is still missing a caligraphy pen and a pencil. It hasn't really bothered me but it might bother people who want to use their e-ink tablet for drawing.

I'm a big critic of marketing, but marketing is supposed to do a lot of stuff. Perhaps persuasion of the form you have experienced is the worst they could do. First of all it should understand a market in order to help build a fitting product, and afterwards it should educate people that might stand to benefit from it, about the existence of said product and the benefits.

Somewhere along the line I think marketing people found themselves singing to the choir of intrusive ads, just as devs find ourselves singing to the choir of Agile (with a capital A) and whatever else might fancy those on top.
You can try. But your adversary may have a covert mystic within, leading them to swim comfortably in the spiritual waters while smirking back.

"Most traffic on the web is from bots"

That's true; but it misses the point. If some bot visits some website, that doesn't expose me to being tracked. It might expose the bot to being tracked. It's when I visit a site, using my real browser, that tracking becomes an issue.
Same here, maybe it's my portrait-orientation screen.
People playing go for over 4000 years might disagree.

The rules are extremely simple and well defined, and yet the result is a very abstract game.

Interestingly, there is a concept called influence in go. And it is fun to learn what influence is, and how to use it. You could spend years and still have much to learn about influence in go, but it's not mentioned anywhere in the rules.
Yeah, sure, everybody else is part of the problem. Everybody except those who created the problem in the first place.

The AI is hard enough, took a few games until I managed to beat it.
> Pricing seems about the same really. Especially when you consider the bundle of table, folio, and pen together for each.

Fair enough. On the other hand, the Supernote comes with more features than the RM2 and gets updates much more frequently, so one would have to price that in, too.

> I was disappointed to see that the standard Supernote pen does not include an eraser and the LAMY pen which does lacks the ceramic tip and instead requires replacing nibs just like the reMarkable pen.

True. I hear that Ratta (the company behind the Supernote) is working on a pen with built-in eraser, though.
> Random would mean 20% of ending in the same quintile, perfect predictor would mean 100%, so 40% is much closer to random.

Something that doubles or reduces by 10x the random probability is not "closer to random". I doubt that if you tell something that a factor is "closer to random than to a perfect predictor" they'd expect something like that.

> You say "should" but it seems like this is only true if you expect (and want) completely random results.

There is quite a lot of randomness involved in where one ends up. There is a random distribution of ability, of work industry, location, country, luck, connections, timings... quite a lot of factors so that you'd expect that randomness to dominate over the whole population and things be close to ~20%. In fact, countries with higher social mobility tend to be fairly close to that 20%. In Spain (which is by no means the best at social mobility, but it's the only one I have data at hand from) we are pretty far from that 43% chance of staying at the lower quintile, and also far from the 3% of moving from bottom to top: https://widgets.elpais.com/mapbox/2020/07/atlas-renta/pc_nac...

I really don't and I am not aware of anyone at work who would. I rarely even read resumes and that if I am very mixed after the 1 hour coding/design/arch whatever round.

I never send my GitHub links either. If I am coding a side project and I think it has business potential I am unlikely to start with open source and if it doesn't have business potential, I wouldn't bother. Also if I am building something on the side, code is likely to be rushed and seemingly horrible.

I have no idea what in GitHub was written by the owner itself, what was copied, how long it took them etc.

"Tell me why you’re interested and willing to put up with bullshit, and don’t just tell me you need the money."

I don't think there are many sane persons around, who honestly want to deal with company bullshit, if not for the money.

I mean, you can find a million fake answers, "I want the challenge", "I want to improve myself in difficult situations", blabla, - but this is exactly the kind of bullshit I am only willing to put up with, if I need the money. So why can he just be honest and say so?

I mean, it is a valid concern, if a person who was on his own for a long time, can fit back in into a coporation, and it needs some convincing that he actually can - but telling people to fake motivation, when all they actually want is the money - just increases company bullshit.
Thanks, I looked it up, but it seems very left-oriented. So it really kinda confirms my point. Unless I'm missing something, since I only briefly looked into it.
That's right.

If one were to wipe last 30~40 years of current affairs from my memory and ask me which countries in the middle east could be among US's allies, I would have gone with Iran and Israel. Their (I mean Iranian people here, they are among the most friendly, open minded and helpful people I have met) value system seems so much better aligned, compared to say Saudi Arabia.

Instead we have US backing Iraq, unprovoked shooting down of civilian jet with no apologies forthcoming, scuttling the future of a democracy.

There is quite a bit of gap between the talk (of spreading democracy) and the walk.

Jewish people and Persian people have a long and harmonious history in settling in various parts in India. This makes it all the more strange to an Indian.

Out of India theory is fringe at best.

I don't know why Indian nationalists take a root at pontic Caspian steppes as an attack against antiquity of our culture. It doesn't take anything away from us. They were not Europeans or something. They didn't attack and invade the indigenous mostly mixed with them. Before them there were migrations from zagros mountains etc..

> Central Asia/European roots.

They are not the same.

> But really what kind of evidence do we have for the existence of a sophisticated culture in Germany that predates Harappa.

You clearly have not read the book. It's not Germany, it's Pontic Caspian steppes, approximately in modern day Ukraine if I recall correctly.
I do something like this, though generally just in the situations where I don't have my notebook.

For me, it's a bit more adhoc than the suggested above. Recent uses: jotting down measurements of some furniture; writing for somebody the name of a book I was recommending them; shopping and todo lists; doodles and sketches. notes tend to be odd phrases from conversations.
The reviewing is minimal -- under 10% of what I write needs preserving, the cards mostly get a quick glance and then go straight into the recycling.

I use the same index cards when I'm writing something, for paragraphs or ideas which I can visually arrange on a table.

I've been doing this in some form for a couple of years, but just as a low-key background thing. For me it's just the minimal viable equipment for being able to write things.

I could use my phone for almost all of this, but index cards are a lower risk of distraction.
Man... How it even possible to colapse unrelated things like economy stength with plain scientific paper(s) ??

But want an answer to why US is stronger/better in economy/industry ? a) US won WW2 and didn't have shit in goverment like comunism in Europe; b) US is continent size country - and in last decades it matters: more peoples, more resources, same culture; c) US had blessing from "In God we trust" and as is written that blessing spans 1k generations :)

Also US was/is active in hijacking whole industries, for example computers making.
I mean people who don’t participate, even cannot, or are convinced to participate by experts. This is the vast majority of affected after a crash.

The financial market and its powerful actors have a massive collective responsibility, that they often don’t seem to be aware of.

The few that are responsible have been ignored for reasons I cannot otherwise understand but as greed.

I speak as an outsider and layman here. I understand that mistakes can be made and that things are very complex and unpredictable. What I have a problem with is that they don’t seem to get accounted for, and certainly not fixed.

The criticism of the banking system and financial markets goes way back. It has been discussed and brought to attention by the likes of Adam Smith. But somehow we just keep patching over the symptoms, if at all, rather than question the severed connection between power and responsibility.
Yes. That should be pretty accurate since most people only work at one job and don't switch each year.

> Apart from the safety it provides.

Sum types (and pattern matching), first-class results, ownership, good performances and a rich ecosystem turn out to be quite nice for a general purpose langage once you’ve passed the hurdle of the borrow checker, even ignoring all the zero-cost abstraction stuff.

Also the really solid and safe multithreading. You might struggle a bit getting all your ducks in a row, but past that you’re reasonably safe from all sorts of annoying race conditions. And rayon is… good.

Not sufficient for GUI applications where the rust experience remains not great, but for CLI or even TUI?

> Everybody except those who created the problem in the first place.

For over a decade there have been laws in each country protecting people's private data. Companies kept on ignoring those laws. The countries came together and created a single law for the entirety of the EU.

The essence of the law:

- if you need some data for the functionality of your service, you can collect it

- if you don't need some data for the functionality of your service, you can't collect it unless you explicitly ask the person. And "opt out" has to be the default option, and cannot stop the person from using the service

How is that a problem?

Those popups? Yes, they are annoying, but they also show how every single website sells the data they don't need to hundreds of companies without your consent. And they keep trying to trick you into providing that data. Now this is a problem.

However, you think that it's all fine, everyone should just hoover up all the data they can possibly get their hands on.

> Are they gonna sue every single website who had to put up a cookie popup just because they run analytics?

Yes, theoretically they have the authority to do that. However, no, they are not going to do that. And no, that doesn't mean that the law is bad.

Looking at the data, the sample size is quite pathetic.
https://www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org/bli/

The amount of responses is skewed largely to 2-3 countries and the self-report guide is unreliable.

On top of that, by their own admission here: https://read.oecd-ilibrary.org/economics/how-s-life_97892641...

their empirical data does not account for factors like wealth distribution, and a lot of the subjective indicators do not correlate strongly with the "objective" measures, with the exception of housing satisfaction.

Data and science doesn't make something objective. For something that claims to measure the quality of life of entire countries and compare them, I'd expect at least 70% of the world to be sampled in a thorough way.

Also, I don't think I've ever met anybody that genuinely believed the US was a third world country. They usually bring up its flaws in response to claims of "USA #1" or something along those lines which are slogans they grew up around their whole life. Now that they are looking into things, traveling, and experiencing more of life, they realize that that blanket statement holds no truth. The arm chair media consumption is definitely an issue but in the same way, I remember only reading good things about the US for almost the entirety of the 90s (consuming news from the BBC, Reuters, and local Japanese/Indian news orgs).
