In the US, the 10th percentile cops earn about 40K a year. Median local cop salary in the US is 65K. And that's the SALARY.

And let me know if ANY cops in the US have ever complained about overtime -- guaranteed overtime and overtime pay rate are often specified in police union contracts and there are tons of articles every year about cops making $100K+ overtime on top of base.

Just because you can't identify what's going wrong to make someone's car have unresponsive steering (the etiology), doesn't mean you can't precisely identify the car as having unresponsive steering (the symptoms.)

Psychology is just fine at recognizing symptoms (and complexes of symptoms that go together, a.k.a. "syndromes") — and also very good at treating symptoms/syndromes, such that they go away.

Often, an understanding of the etiology isn't involved, but also isn't needed, because it's the symptoms/syndrome that are the problem, and the underlying pathology is otherwise benign. There're very few psychological diseases that have an organic origin, where treating the symptoms but not the disease will lead to the disease progressing and killing you. And those diseases get treated carefully and separately, with workflows that get you referred on any sign of such diseases to a neurologist.
Quite the opposite. If a middle manager tells you to do something you think harms the company or it's customers and you don't push back as a knowledge worker you're not doing your job.

Ultimately you may need to comply if the decision is made, but they literally hire us for our judgement and ability to work independently for the companies objectives.

I do really not want Google making this decision for me.

If they decide to display a warning, or create a new permission for that, fine. But it's really not something for Google to decide in a centralized, "we don't care about individual use cases" procedure.

You keep saying that. Let's like at some random headlines from their "contributors" page:

> France’s mega-mosque problem

> The emptiness of ‘British values’

> The death of American patriotism

> The problem with male feminists

> Universities have destroyed feminism

> Can Labour be saved from the hard Left?

> Labour isn’t working

> Why liberals are scared of football

> Is Labour dead?

> America attracts the wrong immigrants

Interesting discussion, but on second thought I’m not sure what to make of it. Personality is a continuum and personality disorders are not clearly defined illnesses, like the flu or Parkinson’s. They are just areas of the continuum that are deemed troublesome for the person or their surroundings. One of the diagnostic criteria for BPD is “Inappropriate, intense anger or difficulty controlling anger”. So saying that people with BPD are overrepresented among people who display anger online is a bit like saying red cars are overrepresented among red objects. Yes they are, by definition.
EA don't think that. See what they did to kill the servers made by the community when they plug off the Battlefield 2142.

The following is the key new information here. This is a shocking response to a very, very serious issue. I will NEVER buy a Western Digital device of any kind.

-----

Western Digital’s brief advisory includes a link to an entry in the National Vulnerability Database for CVE-2018-18472. The NVD writeup says Western Digital WD My Book Live and WD My Book Live Duo (all versions) have a root Remote Command Execution bug.

“It can be triggered by anyone who knows the IP address of the affected device, as exploited in the wild in June 2021 for factory reset commands,” NVD wrote.

Examine the CVE attached to this flaw and you’ll notice it was issued in 2018. The NVD’s advisory credits VPN reviewer Wizcase.com with reporting the bug to Western Digital three years ago, back in June 2018.

In some ways, it’s remarkable that it took this long for vulnerable MyBook devices to be attacked: The 2018 Wizcase writeup on the flaw includes proof-of-concept code that lets anyone run commands on the devices as the all-powerful “root” user.

Western Digital’s response at the time was that the affected devices were no longer supported and that customers should avoid connecting them to the Internet. That response also suggested this bug has been present in its devices for at least a decade.

“The vulnerability report CVE-2018-18472 affects My Book Live devices originally introduced to the market between 2010 and 2012,” reads a reply from Western Digital that Wizcase posted to its blog. “These products have been discontinued since 2014 and are no longer covered under our device software support lifecycle. We encourage users who wish to continue operating these legacy products to configure their firewall to prevent remote access to these devices, and to take measures to ensure that only trusted devices on the local network have access to the device.”
> it is still a (low) possibility.

It really isn't.

An escape mutation which completely evaded T-cells would write a whole new chapter in immunology.

It on par with worrying about a jet engine falling on my head right now.

There's risks that are low enough that they aren't worth worrying about or particularly acknowledging.
The purpose of a work phone is to carry it during the specifically agreed upon period that you are actively on-call.

And you should be compensated specifically for that on call time. A standard is 1/3 of your on call time out of business hours is credited as PTO hours for 30 minute response.

Or 2/3 of your on call time out of business hours is credited as PTO hours for 5 minute response.
Yes, they do. We have a program here in the Netherlands that is targeted towards kids from lower economics groups. It has shown some promising results.

The title of the 3rd paper you mention is Greater Use Of Preventive Services In U.S. Health Care Could Save Lives At Little Or No Cost. It seems to suggest that some measures are effective.

Also I am a bit amazed at how narrow the US appears to interpret public health. It is almost all just about checkups. Here we have a much broader definition. For example, information campaigns play an important role in most public health campaigns.

An example is pretty agressive anti-smoking campaign. Tobacco companies can no longer use their own logo's on their products but must use some pretty horrible pictures instead. Smoking is forbidden in many places, including bars and restaurants. The price of tobacco products is astronomical. Overall it appears to be working. We consider this part of public health, but it does not seem to fit in one of the papers you mention.
Is it? Granted, I've only been using it for three years but... its hasn't really changed that whole time? It's fine?
Get them to put it in writing.

Also you can usually mail a check with a short letter explaining you are paying the estimated cost and caching the check is the same as honoring that estimate.
Yes, I made myself laugh. As a bipolar, I often find things funny that other people don't.
Anything new on this since 2014?
China was only a colonial backwater during the time centered around the "century of humiliation." It was an unchallenged sprawling empire for millennia. This is just reversion to the mean.
I'd love to figure out how to do this in such a way that some or all of the warmth for them could come from waste-heat sources. Seems like such a waste to build a dome for growing local food and then have to heat it through the night with conventional fuels.

I hear what you are saying and agree but wonder if this would have the effect of stifling the creation of new companies as so many people start a company with the hope of being acquired.
Other things we have today that mitigate spread:

1. sanitation

2. hand washing

3. understanding of how the disease spreads (not swamp gas)

4. knowing that throwing virgins into volcanoes does not work

5. clean water

My meaning was along the lines of family dynamics. Teenager starts acting out at school not because they're a bad kid but because their is some unhealthy dynamic in the school or home environment. The kid's behavior is just a symptom of something unacknowledged and in that case the kid is the healthy one bringing attention to the problem. Pain is your body telling you something needs attention.

Mild trolling and shitposting is mostly harmless and perhaps an appropriate response to being very online and maybe a measure of the health of an online community.

One of the big problems though is that trolling and shitposting can easily be weaponized into coordinated harassment on ideological grounds (gamergate, cancelling, etc) which can be construed as a symptom of the current culture war and perhaps social media companies should pay more attention to the problem.

VSI (or VSI) is just a different way of expressing regret.
https://www.rangevoting.org/vsi

> It looks like it's a metric constructed to justify Range-ish voting systems, a la Warren Smith's Bayesian regret models.

Bayesian regret wasn't constructed to justify score voting (formerly known as range voting). Smith correctly used a utilitarian social welfare function, and just happened to find that score voting did best. This was by no means a given.

Indeed, the VSE calculations (conducted by a different mathematician, Jameson Quinn), used some different assumptions, and had STAR voting, 321 voting, and even certain Condorcet methods, beating score voting in some circumstances.

> It degenerates to pretty much the same problem as Plurality voting

You have this literally backwards.

http://scorevoting.net/BulletBugaboo
https://electionscience.org/library/irv-degrades-to-pluralit...

> You just can't model strategy this naively.

It was modeled in a very sophisticated way, not "naively". The VSE figures even used all kinds of variations, e.g. asymmetric strategy where one side strategizes more than the other.

> And Range/Score voting is even more extreme: you can vote strategically there even knowing nothing about other people's preferences. Just always use extreme values (0 and 100).

And even if you do, it still gets better results.

> Borda gets a bad rap in these comparisons. It's not a good system, but the likelihood that "strategic voting" will backfire horribly means that in all likelihood, voters would not pursue those strategies.

That doesn't make any sense. Strategy, by definition, is a move which has a positive expected value. You seem to be conflating "bad aggregate performance under strategy" with "bad individual performance for a voter who uses strategy", which is deeply wrong.

It can never happen because there is a never ending supply of people who will set aside ethics for personal gain. I have worked for over a decade in the software industry in over 5 different companies large and small and I have never once seen an example where a leader put ethics over profits. Most small businesses live or die based on their next sale and most large businesses need growth at any cost to legally satisfy their fiduciary obligations to their shareholders.

U.S. report on UFOs raises questions about dozens of sightings

I've had multiple relatives (ahem, samsung) phones somehow waste data...

I'm talking 32gig phone, with 8gb 'system', 20gb "other", and a few apps. I can delete all the apps, app updates (because preinstalled apps are installed twice, once in the system partition and then a new version in the data partition), and 20gb is still missing. I can mount the phone, and find 5mb of random files, zero photos (i removed them earlier), and still, 20gb missing. I have a theory, that samsung updates leave some trash behind somewhere on the system partition and never clean up after themselves, because after a factory reset, and full upgrade, the space is back, even with all the apps and updates.

I don't want to root those phones, becase they're not mine, and this brings in more issues (eg. eternal support), and factoy reset seems to be the only way to "fix" them.
Next: A conspiracy theory that the government is covering up the fact that UFOs don't exist.
Again, the whole point of UnHerd is that it includes people from a range of ideological outlooks, who ordinarily would be opposed to one another, because they share some concerns and can forge a common cause in publishing.

None of the headlines that you cite are specific to “extremist Christian-right propaganda”, indeed these are themes are commonly discussed by those who identify as leftist and unreligious, but feel that certain things that are presently insisted on in leftism as de rigeur, are not part of the leftist tradition they recognize from a few decades back. For example, with regard to being “anti-trans”, there are a lot of soixante-huitards who find the current focus on trans activism on the left excessive and even problematic, because it was utterly foreign to their struggle against rightist forces.

You have still not brought forth any proof of your claim above that UnHerd was founded and funded expressly for “extremist Christian-right propaganda” purposes. The gentlemanly thing to do would be to back up that claim, or retract it.

I'm sorry to hear that. Yes, I haven't wanted to find that out. I've been with my wife 10 years now and I love her more than ever. They say marriages last 7 years on average since that's the amount of time it took to get a self-sustaining child out of the door for the majority of human history. If you make it past that programmed span of 7 years, I think the odds of staying together go up significantly.

I would do the same thing you are. Leave once they're into college or otherwise move out. A spouse can think you're just some lazy, but it's harder than ever to maintain employment and being a developer is actually more stressful, not less. It always is for me, I'm pushed pretty hard. It's definitely not loving. I told my wife who has been struggling that we'll use all our resources to make her comfortable. To quit her job or whatever changes we need to make to where we live and the rest. My condolences to you, I think it's impossible to know what type of person you're with until you're in certain situations like that.
The best way to do this in my experience is to tell them you're moving in with a partner who is already subscribed. Works equally well whether true or not.
That's good, & goes a long way, but it's still a fixed protocol defined in a monolithic spec.

XEPs are different in that they are independent (except explicit depedencies) of each other & not a part of the core spec. If someone wants to start adding new transports, add Link Local xmpp: they can. Just write the XEP (XEP-0174).

Yes, correct. But there are also some viruses that cause cancer that can spread from human to human (HPV for instance, the cause of cervical cancer), and the case of that doctor is some proof that at least in theory cancer can spread by blood or tissue contact.

social distance means different things to different people based on where they are and their situation. For OP social distance seems to have meant spending all of their time completely alone in their home as leaving it was actually illegal. In addition they found out that none of the people they considered friends really cared enough to even reach out and see how they were doing. That can be quite a slap in the proverbial face and it is jarring to discover you are alone in the world.
So Google has to run a second cloud service that's only used internally?
I spent the last four years up until about a month ago living in Mountain View, CA. A place so expensive that it was almost completely safe. Also intensely isolating, especially for a single person. I left for both personal and family reasons to come back to the place where I felt an actual sense of community.

I could have my own home in the country essentially for free, but I don't think I could keep my sanity. Maybe with a wife/dog/child some day but being among a sea of somewhat radical conservatives alone hundreds of miles of anywhere I'd like to go outside of my own home... let's just say I'm done being isolated for now.

What I think is that if the local government and police were actually doing a good job, the problems would be considerably reduced. I don't think the "abolish the police" party or the "law and order" party can either achieve this. But what it would take is leadership that is capable of understanding problems and enacting solutions and a population that is more interested in understanding their world than chanting slogans about it.
Knowing a bit about their history and having met some of the principals, I'm not.

Wickr's focus was never on the HN audience. Their "bullseye" was the audience of DEF CON attendees who have some ties to capital "e" Enterprise and/or US public sector.

Feature creep is their entire business model, that's how the make money. Their game(s) is mediocre and certainly not up to part with the budget they got for developing it, so they are going to stall to get even more money from their fans.

> Android has not caught up with the idea that anything is precious.

I don't know what your brand or last device with this problem was, but there's a reason https://dontkillmyapp.com/ exists. Most of the battery issues were solved years ago with Android 6 (and then the situation improved with 7 and 8).

An focused application (or applications, in split view) is able to drain the battery, but that's just intended behaviour. You wouldn't be able to use a battery app or play a mobile game like pokemon Go if the OS would limit the current application.

I've only experienced the overheating problem on some midrange to cheap (<€200) Android devices, but that's usually because of the cheap, inefficient SoC that's found in the bottom of the spec sheets.

My phone saves battery to the point of killing background apps that I don't want killed. Luckily, I can turn that shit off, though Xiaomi has three different ways to make sure background apps don't get killed that I need to work through.
That's interesting. I would say we wouldn't have AWS if Amazon couldn't have built it by scratching it's own itch. But also, couldn't Amazon just spin up an "internal" AWS style system, instead of using a competitors cloud service?
Condorcet is just needlessly complex and has worse behavior under high levels of strategy. Score voting (STAR, approval, etc.) is roughly as good and maybe even better, and dead simple, and very transparent.

The lesson of voting theory is to avoid ranked voting methods.
Maybe this is just my personal bias against even wearing glasses, but to me, this kind of tech isn't viable as long as it requires a wearable at all. I don't even like wearing a watch. Until the projectors are built into the environment itself, like my walls can directly put holograms into the room with me, I won't want to use something like this.

Or I guess if it's some kind of direct brain implant, though there's no way in hell I'm ever voluntarily implanting a Facebook product.
