The issue is that it is vague and has several implicit meanings and includes groups that want to divert funding to more community services to aid police, such as mental health crisis units, so police don't have to do things they don't have training for

then you have others that genuinely want to defund police completely, arguing that the institution itself is a vestige of civil war times to protect wealthy white property/slave owners

I believe this is intentional, as it gives extremist a softer platform.

Same can be said about the BLM organization that has an explicit communistic agenda, while the movement is a broad group fighting against police violence and general civil liberties
You clearly misread my second paragraph.
Right. The specific problem is that 2^32 isn't enough. The most naive "solutions" were from people who hadn't even recognised why it's 2^32. For example, let's just have numbers bigger than 255 between the dots ... why can't we do that?

But once you get past those, another layer of "solutions" see the immediate technical consequences of 2^32 not being enough but don't grok the bigger picture. For example let's just turn existing 32-bit IP addresses into a 64-bit IPng address by adding zeroes, and then all the old addresses are now networks with up to 4 billion nodes. But wait, all those addresses are assigned too now, so we still have an address shortage. Oops.

The least stupid people saw the new address scheme itself as logical but just felt like surely IPv6 should have resisted the urge to fix anything else. Sure, you're embarking on a multi-decade project that likely cannot ever be repeated, but let's just leave all the sharp edges and weird anomalies exactly as they are to minimise upgrade costs. This belief is less stupid, but it is still pretty stupid, that cost difference is a drop in the bucket, and this was our only chance to fix some pretty huge mistakes made when the Internet was newborn.

It would actually be cheaper for a lot of big outfits to go IPv6-only today (and then use edge translators) than drag their heels and try to stay on IPv4 as long as possible, but contrary to popular belief almost nobody really does "cost-benefit analysis" to decide what to do - they make a decision based on emotion and any such analysis is purely there to support that decision.

Buying more addresses is a budget line item you can see, but a lot of big IPv4 costs are hidden in existing practices that "always" have cost money but would vanish under IPv6, and some IPv6 costs are only there if you did no preparation. If you just count the need to replace those IPv4-only printer-copiers you purchased a year ago across the company, and forget that you intentionally chose not to ask bidders if they were IPv6 capable you're going to persuade yourself that it's cheaper to keep waiting.
No, they weren't.

There are half a million COVID deaths last year. There are around 30,000 deaths a year from automobile accidents. COVID is more deadly than automobile accidents, by an order of magnitude.

"Keeping schools closed was necessary to prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed" is a different argument from "teachers don't want to face the mortal peril of in-person instruction," and not the one that was made in favor of keeping schools closed.

It's basically the LinkedIn formula that fills up like 90% of everybody's LinkedIn feed these days:

* Talk about something intensely personal to show yourself being vulnerable (note: making it a true story is optional)

* Describe a moral of the story that fits in with whatever the current popular narrative is

* Plug your side business

It's a pretty good formula for going viral, so I can't really blame anyone that uses it as a marketing tool.

I am concerned that the type of defense of privacy exemplified by your argument (that reporting the happy hour to the insurance company was a privacy violation and should be illegal) will backfire sooner or later.

Assuming that the guy was running a happy hour in a place where they are banned, your argument reinforces the view that privacy is only needed for those who break the law.

Explaining why privacy is important is hard enough as it is. Please don't make it harder.
I have used CodeDeploy/Codepipeline/Codebuild over several years. Overall they work well but there can be edge cases or gotchas that show up on occasion depending what you are trying to do.

I also prefer externalizing the CI/CD process with Jenkins or Spinnaker-based setups.
I empathize with this. My job is to package analytics and build forecasting models and if the data shows anything less than stellar it becomes super stressful to try and dress it up and contextualize for management.

I'm not a geologist, but at least in terms of the geography Israel is a chokepoint between africa and the landmasses north of it if you are on foot. It's why historically it was such a trade hub in the ancient world(not to mention several mediterranean and a red sea port also within relatively short distance of each other)

I wonder if there was a time when there was an easier land route leading to more northern climates (the theory that at some point in the nearish past the mediterranean was dry makes me wonder what kind of flooded fossils lie at the bottom too)
Part of being a police officer (perhaps a huge part) is simply being present and visible. This "presence" generally coincides with any large gathering of people.

It seems completely normal to me for a police officer to be there and to have not to have been needed. Sounds like a peaceful event.
Can we please not devolve every discussion about natural human behavior into ‘you must have adhd, get meds’. It’s standard pressure and human centric fear of failure around business expectations where those around you may or not give a flying fuck about your efforts. Thus, the pressure feels unfulfilling and driven by fear. It’s not always rocket science.

It’s car use accumulated over a year. It is not an average speed.

I don’t agree that there is a wide consensus that velocity must be a vector outside of physics where it actually matters. “High velocity” is a term that does not hinge on a vector being present somehow.
Downtown cores have the highest population density, and thus the lowest average commute for a typical set of workers distributed around a metro area.
I won't dispute that Tesla's valuation is eye watering, but it isn't very meaningful to compare market caps. A generally superior comparison is between enterprise values. This is especially true for car companies which (with the exception of Tesla) are heavily debt financed.

By that metric, Tesla actually drops below 600Bn. Toyota moves to about 400bn. Ford goes to 170bn. VW is 350bn.
> start with the presumption that some people should get your data

Some people do want others to have their data.

Dropbox is a great example of a successful business that is built on the idea of sharing data.
And it is still slower for small glue scripts. On my Windows 10 box hello, world script finishes with Python2 in 73 microseconds (the best time of 5 runs) versus 238 ms for Python3. That translates into noticeable slowdown of compilation time for a project extensively using python code in the build system.
And I’m telling you that’s not the case since we have an actual case of Apple marketing one of their products as computer replacements and it was never the iPhone. The iPhone was always market as “An iPod, a phone, an internet mobile communicator... these are NOT three separate devices” m. There’s a difference between a computing device and a computer. All devices with a chip are computing devices hut jot all computing devices are computers.

I just used it as an example of a bug I had last week and that I solved in 30 minutes -- the point is not how one individual bug occurred, but that there are a million boring technical things to do. You spend most of your time doing things other than enjoying the fruits of creative fulfillment.

A significant amount of my time is not even spent coding, but doing admin and spreadsheets.
Once you have entered your email address on a page with JS and the page has sent any additional network traffic, you have to assume that the server has your email address if they want it. JS is just too complex to offer any other guarantees.
I get what you're saying, and there's truth to it, but Tesla is also valued higher than all the major car companies. For that to make sense, it either needs to have a business well beyond cars (maybe batteries, maybe not; maybe solar) or a path to significantly better margins that competitors (unlikely).

The valuation right now is entirely a bet on Elon and being part of the story.
There is something between 'fundamentals' and 'irrationality' here. This kind of market cap results from a bet by buyers that, if given access to capital (by inflating the value of Tesla or Elon's holdings of Tesla shares, or its ability to issue more) Tesla will realize the value that the market cap is bid up to. But of course, it's circular - if Tesla's stock wasn't bid up that high, it wouldn't have the capital to realize that value. That doesn't mean it's irrational, but it's not the same as a cold evaluation that a business is already clearly going to be worth than much.

Soooo… the Russian army beat a European one and marched several hundred km’s into Europe, but it’s not an invasion?

Yes, the European nation attacked first, and the Russian response was 100% justified.

The point is that Russia struck back against one of the strongest armies in history, broke its back, and then counter-invaded. They only stopped when they ran into the Allies.

Yes but all fully vaccinated had no symptoms. It is also unclear if the vaccinated infected anyone else.

I've been working on this, too (admittedly... for years)! I similarly have a 'very direct' style of communication. I've received formal feedback on more than one occasion calling me 'abrasive'.

fwiw, two books helped me massively in this area:

1. The Field Guide to Human Error. This book I read on a whim just because I thought it would be useful for software development. The first few chapter's ended up being kind of life altering. It felt like along personal attack on my character. In short, it was about perspectives we take when dealing with other people, and how viewing from our vantage point is not only frequently wrong, but it's lazy.

Even with things like CR comments. I now ask myself "_why_ do they think that's the right approach?"

2. Never Split the Difference. While it's about negotiations, it deals a lot with how humans think, and despite what we tell ourselves or want to believe about we being rational creatures, emotion dominates almost all interactions. It gives all kinds of useful advice for framing conversations and using language which avoids being confrontational or accusatory.

This was another huge one for me, as it shifted just about all of my conversations from starting with "you're dumb and here's why" to "let's make sure we agree on what the problem is" and then making finding the solution a collaborative effort, rather than a top down directive.
This is a population that would have decided their own risk. A great many of them simply would not have shown up, and quit or be fired.
For me, this is only ok if at the top of the form there is big easy to read text that says any data typed in the form is saved immediately prior to the user hitting submit. Anything else is a dark pattern.

Let's not kid ourselves. We know most users naively think the data is just on their screen and nowhere else until they hit submit. If we write code to circumvent that expectation we know it is a deception. After all, the default behavior is that the form data is not available early. The programmer has to explicitly do something to counter the default.
I discovered Microsoft Learn about six months ago, and still can't believe it: Microsoft putting up programming tutorials and guides with XP and whatnot.

I also found it funny that the part on setting up the dev environment in Python worths more XP than the memory management part in the Rust course.
This story is so meta. Most of the comments here are slamming the press and social media users for slamming politicians for slamming eachother. Slam slam slam. And here I am, slamming the lot of you.

Serious question though. Is this merely a neologism used to describe a phenomenon that was old before Cicero lost his head?
That doesn't prove much; it's been 3 years of a very bubbly market. The NASDAQ has gone up 2x over that period. As Warren Buffett said, "Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked."

I remember a lot of people in 1999 and 2000 pooh-poohing talk of a bubble with the exact same arguments. The technology is amazing! People predicted it was a bubble before and it's only gone up!

There's no denying Musk is a true master of hype. That has given him a ton of free advertising and a very low cost of capital. And he's gotten away with fantasies and lies for years, like promising 1 million robo-taxis on the road by the end of 2020. [1] But all bubbles pop eventually, and truth always wins over hype in the long run. It's only then we'll see whether Tesla's become truly a sustainable business, or whether Musk is still swimming naked.

Is anyone aware of any learning research which analyses this 5min-by-5min approach to course production?

I'm really not a fan of it.

There's something not quite right in treating "conceptual learning" as if it were a sort of follow-these-steps "to tie a knot" problem.

Imagine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7DzL2_Na80#t=2m20s as a series of 5min videos...

It also seems like Microsoft produces a lot of developer videos done in this style, as if the thing to be learned were a wizard ("next, next, next, next").

Consider the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajvipmDMwAg . Each step is simply a "next step", and the narrator merely describes what is being done.

Gilbert would, I'd say begin with the problem: "Suppose we're looking a films. And what is a film? It's these things: ..... Now in Rust we model that with a struct -- ".

And so on: the learning here is illustrating the connection between the mindset of programming and the activity.

Quite a lot of what I've seen from Microsoft, and increasingly many 5-min-by-5min courses, is very little modelling of thought process. The very thing to be learned.

I'm not sure why I'm bothering, but here are the relevant data points from the article to determine order-of-magnitude hospitalization rates for the 2 groups:

> fully vaccinated people accounted for fewer than 1,200 of more than 853,000 COVID-19 hospitalizations. That’s about 0.1%.

> About 63% of all vaccine-eligible Americans — those 12 and older — have received at least one dose, and 53% are fully vaccinated
Imran Khan won't "speak up" about Xinjiang's separatism issues just like he won't "speak up" about the "Great Replacement" or other ideological nonsense that has literally nothing to do with the sovereign nation of Pakistan.
It is probably easier and more defensible to look at a thing that is, and say "why is it this way" than to see something that isn't and ask, "why isn't it the way I want it to be?"

These are logically not the same structure of argument. I'm not making any character judgements about people involved in this discussion, or on the LKML either for that matter.
If we optimistically assume the claimed 0.5% false positive rate is accurate, and all of the US got tested annually, that's 1.64M false positives per year. Cancer.gov is telling me that approximately 1.8M USians were expected to get cancer last year. That's a positive predictive value of 52%. That still seems highly informative, to me; much higher than the PPV for mammography according to this (admittedly old) study: [1].

Assuming the 0.5% FP rate holds (again, I know that's optimistic), would you still regard universal testing with this method to be harmful?

They are catching up, but currently the VW and other EVs, with the exception of Porsche, are pretty inferior. (A notable exception is Hyundai's Ioniq5, which is very impressive).

My biggest concern with other auto manufacturers EV projects is how absolutely abysmal these companies are at building software. It's just not even close. And software makes a HUGE difference with EVs. My wife's Audi has absolute shit software.

It's not that it's some tall order to write good software, it's just that these massive corporations have no idea how to build good software teams, period.

I'm going to chime in and say the only benefit we got from CodeDeploy was its cost was folded into our AWS account. We didn't have to go through the hassle of explaining why we need "yet another <$100/month expense" from a different company.

I appreciate this is a bad reason to recommend a service, and am not defending it. Just explaining why we wound up using it.

The service itself is not horrible, but like every other AWS service, I felt like I was definitely not in the target market: some easily implemented feature was left out and the configuration space easily allowed you to specify things that weren't covered in the (very) thin documentation and seemed to behave unexpectedly.
