It was a buggy crashy mess. Also there wasn't much to do because there was no adversity. Sure there is also no adversity in creative mode MC but don't underestimate how important the first experience you get of having to mine your resources is in slowly introducing the game loop. Creator you just make a few cars, drive them to nowhere, spawn an army of NPCs, watch them fight, that's about it. The Knight's Kingdom version might have been better in that regard.

These are crimes. Where is law enforcement? I am not sure why the public still gives them a pass and treats computer crimes differently.

With the resources of the federal government, it shouldn't be hard to find and take down the criminals. Think of how easily the criminals exploit their victims - it is just as hard for the criminals to play defense as it is for everyone else.

I’m not following you - meritocracy and subjectivity are inherently contradictory.

Also, the example I gave and the problems it illustrate are inherent to the example - there’s no policy you could invoke that would remedy it. Feel free to share an example of how you’d fix the example to remove the dilemma, if you would like.
In the context of the internet it wouldn't be silly at all for us to call each other those things! But the internet is also sort of a wild west of etiquette so all bets are off.
It's not a logical standard, and you can prove a negative. For example, I can prove that I'm not dead, that there's no elephant in the room with me as I type this, and that my wife is not having sex with someone else right now because I can see her on the couch.

I wish people would stop saying you can't prove a negative. You can prove that you didn't do something by proving something else that logically excludes you doing it--such as being somewhere else at the time.

That he was found culpable is irrelevant. That it was “of murder” is false. The grandparent was focussed on the discussion of culpability in the context of the segment that was quoted in the comment it responded to.

I don't think that she, he, or they are ridiculous. I personally have never been instructed on someone's pronouns before so I have no real life example of something that I would find ridiculous. But it's not difficult for me to imagine a set of pronouns that I would not enjoy using, and would probably avoid interactions with someone who insisted that I use them.

When people get fed up with Notion, I urge them to check out minimal.app. (In some regions it’s in beta at minimal.app/#beta.)

Minimal has fewer features than notion, but it is faster, more reliable, simpler, and more beautiful/delightful. And it is feature packed.

I love designing and building Minimal, and thousands of people love writing in Minimal.
You don't need surgery, but you do need to come out as trans. Everyone around you is going to take such a declaration very seriously, as they well should.

I don't think of the meritocracy is about rewarding or punishing. Meritocracy is about finding the best person for the job. Who has shitty parents, who has a quick mind, who dies of a cancer at 17. None of it is fair, and your job is only one very small part of that unfairness.

Meritocracy is about putting the best person for the job in that job. It's about efficiency. A more efficient society can make everyone better off.
Drone pretty clearly implies to me "a craft piloted remotely by a human." A UFO/UAP is an aerial phenomenon we can't currently identify. It could be a human piloted craft, it could be something else yet to be determined.

Having a European passport entitles citizens to a lot of benefits globally too, but oddly enough I haven't paid taxes to any EU country since the day I moved out and nobody expects me to.

I'm not sure why the US thinks it is so special that it is entitled to tax people who happen to be born there even if they have nothing to do with the country any more. You aren't taking a loan on taxes during your childhood; that period is sponsored by everyone else. It goes both ways.

I get it, some forms of communication aren't your bag. But I think it's at least reasonable to focus on a company's intent even if the verbiage isn't what you'd prefer. FWIW I'm quite older than a millennial, but I didn't find anything infantilizing about Notion's response - I'd much prefer a genuine expression of regret, which is what this FAQ appeared to be, than some nonsense corporate-speak.
it's not empathetic, it's an attempt to disarm and minimize, and it's insulting.

If you happen to be in the EU or if you qualify somehow, you could try submitting a GDPR request for all your data, which they are legally forced to respond or face steep fines.
This is such stunningly bad advice. Threatening legal action may get you a quicker response, if the company believes you have standing and the wherewithal to actually sue them. In most cases, however, threatening legal action is going to get you put into a queue where anything they say to you gets vetted by legal, if not just outright ignored until you actually serve them or have your own lawyer reach out.

"Go form a class action lawsuit against Notion" is just a wild thing to casually suggest as a remedy here.
The industry isn't collaborative enough to voluntarily come up with such practices so the most likely avenue seems to be through laws and regulations.
Wasn’t the point of meritocratic institutions to create opportunities for everyone, so that even those of low birth have a chance at success? A rejection of the fixed aristocracy?

That’s the problem with iterative meritocracy, late in the game it becomes indistinguishable from aristocracy.
Or perhaps it's a bunch of people with preconceived notions and reactionary clicking like yourself. I challenge you to find a comment by myself that insists he was murdered. And the comment I was referring to that I said was reasonable was not pushing any particular narrative, but positing a reason why someone might want to murder him. That's not the same as saying he was murdered.

There is so much reactionary outrage online that people accuse you of supporting a belief for simply discussing it even if you didn't push it and haven't committed to it.

Let's keep in mind what we avoided with these "lockdowns". In Los Angeles at one point the entire medical system was overwhelmed, people had loved ones dead in their homes, and were told to put them on ice, because there was zero capacity to come and pick up the dead. Ambulances with patients dying had ZERO places to take them.

Here's the story from someone who was there

You don’t have to file taxes if you make less than $10k…I think that figure rose to $12k in 2020…how can you or the article prove he made more than that each of those 4 years? Always have to keep an ear open to both sides of the discussion!
> It's not impossible that his word could provide evidence, he may know where (possibly metaphorical) bodies are buried.

Yes, and even if not, testimony alone is evidence, even if it doesn't lead to other evidence.

It may or may not be evidence that a trier of fact views as credible or sufficient on its own to meet the applicable standard of proof, but it is evidence.
Barefoot didn't die -- they were acquired by Intel, who has continued to invest in it with the development and introduction of Tofino 2.[0] Moreover, P4 is not/was not Barefoot alone; to take an example that's relevant to us, the P4 application working group working on the In-band Network Telemetry Dataplane Specification[1] includes participation from Alibaba, Arista, CableLabs, Cisco Systems, Dell, Intel, Marvell, Netronome, and VMware.

Disclosure: We are using both Intel Tofino 2 and P4 at Oxide and we (obviously?) think it's pretty interesting.

No doubt. But we knew back then we had gays and lesbians among us. We had them as friends and acquaintances so we knew the population existed and that there were quite a few people in our circles who happened to be. But trans seems a bit different.

> notwithstanding my hesitation about surgical and hormonal interventions being pushed for pre-pubescent children

Surgical and cross-hormonal therapies are, by most nationally recognised and implemented standards of care, reserved until the patient reaches at least 16 years of age. Pubertal suppression is used as a method of reducing harm and is widely associated with improved mental health outcomes.

> Perhaps you know of some other, higher quality work I could look at?

Yes, I do. It's the same one covered by the PinkNews article you cited. A "careful" reading is insufficient. A careful, statistically literate reading is required. Such a reading of the study shows that the data do support the conclusion. The "contradictions" you cite are derived from statistically insignificant correlations. Please read up on P-value and the necessity of corrections in multi-variate analysis.

The claimed reduction effect with P 0.001/multivariate corrected is total lifetime suicidality in individuals with a history of suicidal ideation, who wanted pubertal suppression and received it. Absolutely none of the "contradictions" you cite are claimed and the study isn't powerful enough to give realistic results for any of them.

Pubertal Suppression for Transgender Youth and Risk of Suicidal Ideation

Pediatrics. 2020 Feb; 145(2): e20191725. doi: 10.1542/peds.2019-1725

See also Erratum, perhaps the rephrasing of the conclusion there will be helpful for you - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31974216/

Now, this is certainly valid criticism of the study (or rather, the study and the data upon which the study was based): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8169497/

Please, in the future, try to criticise studies like this. I certainly don't agree with many of Bigg's points but they do raise the right questions. More data is certainly needed - but that doesn't mean that the proposed treatment is necessarily wrong. That remains a clinical decision with this as but a small input factor.

I don’t think anyone disputes that they covered up the severity, that was clear in real-time.

The question is if this was an intentional lab leak as is being suggested, I’m curious to know what people expect to happen.

As you pointed out this has killed millions of people, seems like people are angling for a war.

That outcome is why the accusation that this is intentional is a very very serious accusation and not one that should be tossed around by a bunch of half cocked internet sleuths (not saying you are one, just in general).
it's insulting because it is attempting to minimize the customer's stake in the problem by appearing to be concerned and empathetic.

if they were concerned or empathetic, the issue would not have lasted as long as it has.

in short, it's disingenuous and it's an attempt to minimize the customer's concerns.

I could not agree with you more regarding media. And no, not "big media" just media. It's absolutely miserable and has let us all down.

I also agree with your point regarding profiteering. This behavior can be observed in many industries, not just pharmaceutical, but it seems a more egregious violation when it affects our health or the well-being of someone we know.

Your comment grabbed my attention because I couldn't immediately think of anything to support the sentiment of it being immoral to work in the pharmaceutical industry so I was naturally curious to find out.

Thanks for taking the time to share your perspective.
I always start the day splitting a 12 cup pot with my husband, frequently we make more later in the morning. It's really nothing if you are habituated to it and not especially caffeine sensitive. I know many other similarly heavy coffee drinkers.
Maybe for you, but not for me. I really don't care about the ethics of tax evasion when we're talking about a suspected murderer. It's like having a debate about how notorious Al Capone was and only talking about his taxes, because nobody could actually prove anything else the guy supposedly did.
I think the issue is that a gay man probably wants to be comfortable answering "what did you do last night?" with "I went out to dinner with my boyfriend", but can't be with a new friend who doesn't know about their sexuality.

As much as we'd like to believe we have no biases, we do. Straight is the societal default. People who are not straight and just want to answer a question about their dinner run the risk of a bad reaction if the person they're talking to just happens to be homophobic.

Someone might prefer to get that reaction in a controlled setting, when they've emotionally prepared themselves for it, not during the course of answering a routine question about dinner. So that's why someone you're just starting to get to know might prefer to specifically tell you that they're gay, rather than waiting for it to just come up as an incidental fact during conversation.

This isn't about them assuming that you specifically care about their sexuality. It's about them being able to determine if you are a person with whom is safe to share details about their life... innocuous details that a straight person would take for granted as being safe to share.
I laughed. thank you.

The issue I have with this line of thinking is that you are assuming this is fixable at all. What are you going to do, place a police station on every farm to market road in America?

Another way of putting this -- when seconds count, remember that police are only minutes away.

For what its worth, I second the parent's sentiment. It comes off as really patronizing to me to make responses like this to serious issues.

At a minimum, if you take a friendly personal tone in important communications, but there isn't a real person waiting behind it in an easily accessible manner at customer support with the same tone, I get extremely annoyed. There is something infuriating about the cheapness of projecting friendliness in a UI but then directing me to some robot phone line or an auto generated email where it really matters.

I don't agree. We have meritocracies based on things most people consider subjective (art, music, writing).

What makes it a meritocracy is not that there's some objective measure of merit, just that there's an attempt to determine merit severed from factors deemed irrelevant (usually birth, class, race, sex, gender, beauty, etc).

No one is saying we have determined God's own concept of merit. "Merit" can and will shift over time. Different individuals will assess it differently. All we can do is our best.

“ Taken together, these discoveries shred the long-standing idea that early people subsisted mainly on meat”

No, they don’t. First of all, as is pointed out in the article, people were eating massive amounts of fat and meat right up till the Neolithic because without crops, there just wasn’t enough starchy stuff to sustain a population of people, not outside weird settlements like this one. And even if these people were eating starches 100,000 years ago, that’s a drop in the bucket. We have been eating meat and fat for millions of years, and the evidence is absolutely clear that a ketogenic carnivore diet is the healthiest diet. It works miracles on everyone who tries it. There are piles of people who cured themselves of very serious health problems with it.
Why would anyone want to eat like Ancient people they didn’t live very long and died of horrible diseases.

The increase among boys the same age over the same period was just 3.7 percent.“
> When I got into ML two years ago, I thought that knowledge would come from reading scientific papers. I was wrong.

I'm in the middle of a PhD and this is always an issue. It takes awhile to learn how to read papers and to gather enough background knowledge that you can read between the lines (publications are limited, you can't put everything in a paper. This is why having code is so great, it accelerates the process). You're two years into your journey, this is often when things _start_ turning the other direction. There's a reason PhDs take so long, and that's with experts (hopefully) helping you learn how to read papers, telling you which papers to read (which is a challenge in of itself), having the ability to spend full time on learning, and learning how to build background knowledge on a subject while learning the state of the art. There's a reason ML pays the big bucks. It takes a long time to learn/gather expertise, it is fucking difficult, and it has direct applications that can lead to useful products today (a big component of why you get paid big bucks). It is also easy to lose track of your progress. I remember the first research paper I read was complete gibberish to me. I'm 3 years into my PhD and now I can understand papers in my niche. But for a long time a lot of stuff didn't click. This is normal. It takes time to learn and 2 years isn't that much (especially when you have a full time job). Making contributions in your first year of a PhD is atypical, even in your second year. It only happens at top universities where people have a lot of help and resources.

Research it hard. It takes years to become an expert and learn how to read papers. Don't give up, but calm down and recognize that given more time things will make more sense.
Hey thanks! Great article by the way! Very thought provoking, I think you did a great job explaining it.

It's nice to hear someone else shares some of the same ideas I've been thinking for a while now.
There are many companies out there and I very much doubt all of them would be doing it. At the end of the day, it's company's choice on what policies to enforce and you are free to pick one that is more compatible with your beliefs.
