I understand the difference. I'm responding to this line in particular:

> doxxing does not exist outside of some particular very online spaces

Journalists do understand that someone may want to keep their identity secret, which is what doxxing is. While doxxing as a term is particular to the internet, it - at least as a concept - predates the internet.
It also ignores the tragedy of the commons aspect; real world evidence of it is abundant at this point. At the end of the day we need legislation similar to right-to-repair that covers device ownership and control.

I’m not really a source memorizer, sorry. I think at 117 IQ it was 50% and 67% respectively (in some past year). It’s probably tough to google too. But you could look at overall post-secondary attendance rates and compare against 12th grade literacy proficiency rates to see the same picture.

>It's uncanny how the cameras are almost always off whenever something controversial happens.

I've seen this claim pretty frequently, but never any actual data, so I started tracking the stats in my own city.

Since I started ~January, there have been 25 police shootings/use of force events(this includes things like tazing, bean bags, and punches/kicks that require medical treatment. It doesn't include violence against animals or desk pops/negligent discharges). 23 out of 25 events had bodycam footage. The two that didn't both involved off-duty officers, which I think is a reasonable exception to body cam rules. There were no instances of "malfunctioning" body cams, dead batteries, or officers who "forgot" to activate their cams.

Even though 6 months of data from one city isn't enough to make any sweeping statements, I haven't found any studies more thorough than my own spreadsheet. If you know of any please send them my way!
It doesn’t matter if it’s underwater as long as the debt can be serviced. That’s the difference between a margin loan and a mortgage; there is no margin call on a mortgage. It can lose 99% of its value and as long as you still make payments (or your tenants so), you continue to own/control the asset.
Let’s pick some easy numbers to get a feel for sizes

Let’s say 70million cars are sold in 2021.
And that they sell for 30k each.
So that’s 2100 billion.

Say a 6% profit, we get 126 billion a year on global sales.

Say you expect a mature company to eventually coast along at 20x price/earnings

So a company with 100% market share (and you can’t really price in growth as it’s 100%) should be worth 2500 billion.

I’m no economist, and I may have made a math error somewhere, but I feel this puts a rough upper bound on the valuation
I think what they are implying is that of there were socially distinct class markers for black names as there are for white names, and if you looked at both, there would be a spread between upper class blacks and whites and lower class blacks and whites. That may be neither here nor there with regard to this discussion.
I'm not really seeing how that in itself is racist. Could you clarify your point? E.g. I happen to be black and I also happen to usually not capitalize either black or white. Not that I care either way. I do however, generally capitalize "Asian" because it's the adjectival form of a place name, like French, African, American, etc. So am I being racist against Asian people or being racist in their favor, in your estimation?
I used to think this was true (as a developer of a lot of generic Julia code and small data analysis applications).

But now as a developer of larger amounts of "application style" code, I'm not so sure. In an application, you've got control of the whole stack of libraries and a fairly precise knowledge of which types will flow through the more "business logic" parts of the system. Moreover, you'd really like static type checking to discover bugs early and this is starting to be possible with the likes of the amazing JET.jl. However, in the presence of a lot of duck typing and dynamic dispatch I expect static type inference to fail in important cases.

Static type checking brings so much value for larger scale application work that I'm expecting precise type constraints to become popular for this kind of non-generic code as the tooling matures.

Well, if we're trying to split racism from classism, you could try to create names that are equally perceived as being from a particular race, but differently perceived in social class. For example "Lashonda Brown" vs "Shonda Brown" vs "Shawna Brown" vs "Shawna E. Brown". Another confounding issue is that names perceived as "higher status" are not necessarily used by one particular race. For example, "Charlotte", "Elizabeth", "Caroline", are not obviously white or black.

Another example, to split racism from classism but with the confounding variable of national origin: "Lashonda Brown" vs "Abena Nwachukwu" (this is an actual last name that I Googled). On the resume, both could be given membership in a "Women's Society of Some University" to indicate gender, and same for other characteristics.

Edit: Note that even the SPELLING of "Geoffrey" vs "Jeffrey" vs "Jeff" may indicate something about social class or background.

Your maps are amazing, but the selection is still pretty limited. Are you planning to ever have "DIY" maps, where you could select a chunk of the globe and have that printed? Or is there too much handcrafted custom tweaking required for each map to make that feasible?

If the answer is "no plans/infeasible", please at least consider adding Sydney (maybe in color?), I'm pretty sure it would look incredible.
>Intel is really betting on being a Foundry

Intel should split into two. One a fabless company focus on chip design. The other a foundry business so there is no conflict of interest like Samsung. Apple pull out of Samsung partially because Samsung compete with Apple on smart phone.

if Intel is serious about IDM 2.0. Intel needs to earn their customers trust. TSMC only focus on production and look where they are today.

As for [0] if qanon is considered a conspiracy theory then I fail to see how thinking Trump is going to do a coup wouldn't qualify. At what point in time is it just fearful thinking vs a conspiracy theory?

As for [1]. It is the exact opposite of taking his words at face value. He literally said he condemns them shortly after his original statement. Trump has a history of condemning white supremacy longer than some people on this forum have even been alive. I don't remember the exact number but Trump has made something like 20 public condemnations of white supremacy in the last 30 years.

The article you posted is from well after he was first called a neonazi. He did say "Sure, I'm willing to do that." which typically would imply he was in fact condemning neonazis. If anybody other than Trump said that everyone would have agreed he was condemning them especially when taking into context his repeated condemnations. Trump isn't exactly known for being a quality speaker so his statement seems sufficient. Sure he should have been explicit, but anybody who still thinks Trump supports white supremacy is just ignoring his statements.
Fantastic read. Nice bits of wisdom here and there that every programmer should have in mind.
Usually yes but their inability to meet demand with long wait times is turning people away and continues to do so.

I’ve been wanting to buy a base model but the wait time on it is 2 months.

That means I have to order, make a down payment and everything and continue to keep my old car for 2 months while I wait to actually get the Tesla. For other car brands I can just goto the dealer and get it the same day.

Edit: Correction - I thought the finance/down-payment and stuff had to start after the order process - didn’t realize it was due after delivery.
These maps are beautiful! Excellent work. Especially love the face-mounted acrylic option.
I wish it wasn't such a weird key combo though, it would be nice to do it with 1 hand.
Smarter public transit would be wonderful. When I lived in Europe, I never owned a car. In the US I live in a small city with unusually good public transit that is not representative of the normal American sprawl. I only use my car when I want to get to a far away beach on a Sunday, or go visit friends outside of town. If you present people with options you will certainly find a majority of people who would love to stop making car payments, paying for gas and insurance. So long as the alternative isn't an enormous hardship that outweighs those costs, which unfortunately it is right now in most American cities that were designed for automobiles.
If you believe in evidence based medicine, which apparently you do not, there is no evidence.

Studies which use HCQ are fine -- because they're providing evidence.

The model doesn't even support their conclusion. It's true that the chances of any particular centenarian living that long are "incredibly small", but the picture changes when we think about them as a group:

* Chances of any given 100 year-old dying before age 122 (according to this model): 1 - 1/(2 ^ 22) = 1 - 1/4,194,304 = 99.999976%.

* Number of centenarians currently alive: ~573,000

* Chances that all living centenarians will die before age 122: (1 - 1/4,194,304) ^ ~573,000 = ~87%. (I've hand-waved a bit here, but it's close enough.)

So, according to this model, there's roughly a 13% chance that at least one current centenarian will live to 122. I would actually say this model is too optimistic.

iOS was a stripped down MacOS. It has evolved since then, but that was the core and much of the user space code. All of that came from NextStep which was based on the Mach kernel and BSD from the late 80s. So, no Apple did not write a whole new operating system in this millenium.
The Models 3 and Y are astonishingly good cars. I have an Audi S4 and a Model Y. The Audi now sits in the garage most of the time. Driving it feels like a giant step backwards compared to the Model Y. And the superior driving experience of the Model Y is in addition to the obvious benefit that I can refuel the car in my garage.
Which down payment are you talking about? I thought there was a $100 reservation fee. Is that what you mean?
Founder here, I am happy to talk about it, my email is ryan at the submitted domain.
I understand that.

What I'm saying is that even if that were true, unless you're saying only "objectively" Black and White people are to judge the social status of Black and White names (such that each race judges their own name) - it would end up being no different than the exercise in the paper.

For example:

Let's say Denise is an "high status" Black name and LeShawn is a "low status" Black name. "Billy" is low status White and "Alexander" is high status.

Even if you knew this you'd need to know how the other race perceives the name since that's ultimately what's being judged here, hence it would be moot.
Giving serious, frank advice friend.

Any examples of how shotspotter technology has not lived up to or has failed in what it was designed to do?

I'm not really that familiar with the technology, all I know is that if there are shots fired within the vicinity of a shotspotter it registers those shots. Does it have the capability of triangulating exactly where the shot took place?

We have them all over Minneapolis and there's several twitter accounts that monitor police activity and I've seen a lot of posts saying:

shotspotter was activated at 33rd and Hennepin, police located several bullet casings nearby and are actively searching for the shooter

Stuff like that.

https://processormatch.intel.com/Resources/Program%20for%20C... is a good description of the exact new standards required for computers in California. They came into effect this month.
Interesting notes:

- If you have a GTX 3070 Ti or better, you can skip the power requirements through the "High End Desktop" exemption that requires 600 GB/s of memory bandwidth (see slide 22). Note that no AMD consumer cards appear to meet this requirement.

- Adding useless outdated ports can help you get more power options for your computer. Now is the time to whip out those useless USB 2.0 extension cards! See slide 19 for the details here.

- You can also avoid the power requirements if you can somehow achieve 8GB or more of 632 GB/s system memory. Is this even feasible with standard consumer hardware?
Just to clarify, it’s possible to focus solely on providing drivers for known hardware configurations and across a variety of OSes. Deciding to fork Debian and maintaining a distribution on top of those drivers seems massively unnecessary.
The point is that if legislation were introduced that resulted in liability it would likely completely decapitate the FOSS ecosystem (among other things).
Singapore's Ninja Van 'A Year Away' from IPO: CEO
I'm not so sure. Attractiveness is a good quality if you want a claim to power through networking, but it's not the only way.

Take Thatcher or Merkel. Both women for whom this arguably matters even more, not attractive, and not even coming from a background that lends itself naturally to climbing hierarchies. Kohl, Merkel's mentor used to often refer to her as his "Mädchen", ('girl', but diminutive, only used for children) and she basically back-stabbed him and took control of the entire party.

There's definitely ways for unattractive or more generally, people who nobody expects to rise to power to do exactly that.

I used to like vs code, and it made me productive.
These days, every day that passes, I find something that surprises me.
Things go from annoying changes to to grab "beginners" attention, to finding out hidden states or configuration where the developers say they purposefully designed something to make it difficult for users to change and understand.

Today I'm outraged when I needed to change my terminal in a workspace setting, and I found out they had a prompt that is designed for people to not notice, and the code is obfuscated to prevent people from understanding it.
When I trip slightly, step on something and hurt my toe, that sort of thing, it makes me think that even if I somehow wasn't to age or get a fatal illness, that given long enough, it's statistically certain I will fall down the stairs and die or something like that. Probability produces mortality completely independent of human physiology.

If your risk of death flattens out, but is not zero, then your expected lifespan is very finite. I think some people have claimed that exceptionally long lived people do end up with a constant (albeit high) risk of death per year rather than an increasing one.

It's a little bit sad to think that nothing remotely human could possibly see what the world will be like in a million years, let alone a billion. We could all be 20 years old permanently, and we'd still only live a few thousand years.

Instead of the SEC, some sharks/influencers are ruling the markets. Not a week goes bye without a new hack or malicious ownership of the cloud solution or an on purpose malicious contract or extreme scams ( eg. Tether, USDT, ...). Within a second, all their money is away.

The nr. 1 problem for access to banks is internet access, look at El Salvador. They are suddenly creating internet access that hasn't been there before, creating a fake dogma. They had access to banks, it was just a long drive away. Transferwise could reduce transfer costs, but a big problem is also a faulty governement or eg. In case of Libanon: stable electricity. Crypto doesn't solve any of that.

In the end, it's all about the hype and a lot of the end-users don't understand how it works and aren't protected from their own stupidity.

It's very useful to figure out who to ask about a particular piece of code. It's also occasionally useful to track down when it was changed (what commit) to give context for why things are the way they are.
I mentioned this in the sibling comment, but it still doesn't seem possible. Who's determining these social class tiers? Black people? White people? Either way, there's no way to control for the status as the names themselves are already indicators irrespective of the social status.

In other words, you're trying to separate racism from classism, but race and class are already inexorably linked to begin with. Any perception of class to the name would already be influenced by historical racism, for better or for worse.

I'm still not understanding what magical survey could separate the class aspect of a name from the race aspect. Since Black people can discriminate against other Black people and Black names both racism and classism can be "double counted", thus the exercise is pointless as there's no way to separate the two things.

Perhaps if Black people and White people had a "pure" view of other Blacks and Whites, unaffected by history you could do what you're saying.

I agree that storage will be a commodity business, but so is oil and that seems to be fairly profitable.

Battery construction is incredibly intricate and has a huuuuge amount of process tech. There's already a huge moat around it because of the level of knowledge needed and a severe lack of talent. That moat will only grow as more and more in house tech is developed for production and for chemistries. There's a solid chance that all the players of one of our biggest new economic sectors this century are already producing.
Starlink Satellite Data Centers
Suggestion: Consider building a "data center satellite", perhaps in
synchronous orbit, that contains a continuous upload of the whole
internet (a petabyte fits in a relatively small cube of silicon chips).

Add a "local cache" capability to each low earth satellite that holds
recently accessed pages. Pages can be marked with Time-to-live
before needing a refresh so relatively static pages (like youtube)
can be kept and only highly active pages (e.g. news) can be swapped
(and cached based on least-recently-used). This is essentially a CDN
(e.g. an Akamai-like service).

The result is a much lower lag time, lower round-trips to Earth,
and less need for Earth stations.

Plus, in the future, they could put such "satellite data centers"
in orbit around Mars, thus minimizing Mars internet access times
for the Mars human data settlements.
