I was thinking of debate, more as a persuasive technique than as a way of discovering the truth. Changing my mind is easy -- the powers of advertising, manipulation, coercion, etc., are all highly refined arts. Arriving at the truth is harder, even if "truth" is merely a plausible choice of one alternative over another.

It seems possible that if stubbornness is a acquired trait, it is one because it confers a survival advantage.
We're aware of this, and it is an easy fix that we have in place. However, we don't have tons of users at the moment, and we don't assume people are jack**es.
Confirmed, I am one of the people who's been repeatedly hit by a ContentID troll who laid claim to recordings of noise.

I believe trolls have also laid claim to other sorts of test tones, though I have encountered the white-noise one personally. So far I've been able to assert that it's my own audio and not his. (It's audio generated from a plugin, when I demonstrate this noise)
> cut you out of communications, or tell you their misunderstandings as if they’re true…

Tell you their misunderstandings as it they're true. I really appreciate the phrasing there. Super useful for my own experience.

I would agree with this. A lot of folks retreat rapidly. One of the most common responses is "Why didn't you tell me this sooner so I could make meetings more useful?" It's a really slick deflection tactic.

I agree there are always ways to use the time better though.
what is "this theory" and how do wrong cost basis statements support that theory? Is it that hard to make fake cost basis statements or something?
Thank you very much! Changes and Updates to come soon!
Great!

It is really depressing that honor and integrity means nothing.

Do whatever you want and while claiming the opposite. If it blows up, hire a specialized PR company and pretend nothing happened.
How should this be interpreted? Isn’t implying that the test can’t tell the difference between flu and covid?

If that’s true, then, how can we be sure that flu hasn’t been misdiagnosed?

A universal type doesn't necessarily have to be arbitrarily comparable between instances. The strictly correct response to "5"==5 really is "not comparable"; it's just a question of how you choose to surface it. One popular choice is to define the equality operator as returning false if the operands aren't comparable - but then you have to do the reverse for inequality, which is far less obvious.
Yeah for sure, he didn't mean anything by it. I try not to be super sensitive, that makes interacting with people impossible. But sometimes it's hard :).
I think relying on the market itself to do this is a terrible mistake.
Yes, it is crowdsourced and some jerk went an submitted down clicks on everything. Sorry about that. It has been fixed.
This is not someone's claim of copyright infringement. This is YouTube's broken Content ID system automatically deciding that me typing on my keyboard sounds too close to them typing on their keyboard. It's been known to claim white noise videos and other nonsense.
puff piece.

unrelated to the article, but im curious if this business can sustain itself to another round of funding. it has been tried before and does not work.

ecommerce stores do well when they run an ad or email promoting a product that they can sell 1k/10k/100k times over.

a market place like this has no such inventory.
If you want to play steam games or Nintendo games this isn’t the device for you. If you want to play Playdate games then this is your best bet. In other words, apples and oranges.
That's what Blizzard's always done - they didn't invent RTS games, or MMOs, or collectible card games, or roguelikes, they just refined and productized them. I think it's fair to call Overwatch a huge success if you're counting e.g. Diablo and World of Warcraft in there.
We only get to see the system's failures, and only the scandalous or funny at that. The system probably flags tens of thousands of uploads every day.

Note how, in this case, it probably did correctly identify segments of a certain length and entropy. At that point, it needs to loop in a human to decide if the audio can be copyrighted. It does so, with the uploader being the first human it asks.

Yes, that last part may be annoying, and slightly cheap. But the uploader is also in a better position to judge the matter than some content moderator, so I don't know why it's supposedly scandalous.
LFP is reported at ~$80/kwh for large Chinese buyers. Are those figures accurate?

Sure its good to have alternatives, but seems LFP will takeover the world except for the premium uses (especially as we get chargers everywhere).
Yea, those first two comments on here made me excited to read the rest of the thread.
It’s more nuanced than that.

The village clerk in some Indian reservation in South Dakota probably doesn’t have a process that looks like the NYC department of Health for vital records. But people live for a long time, and errors and omissions do too.

The point is, you can establish identity, but it’s a pain in the ass. I need to provide a drivers license to open a savings account, but anyone with my SSN can open a credit card.
This will be changed!

> For some reason the word "passion" has this hidden connotation for me which makes me feel like the project isn't serious, isn't making money, isn't popular, and is just eating up all my time as it is something I constantly obsess over.

This is spot on. If only you would articulate my feelings for me all the time, that would be great!
Griefing, yes. The audience for our mobile app skews young and, shall we say, less "serious aviators" than the desktop sim, so to some degree people like that you can buzz a 747 on short final in an F-22. :D

Long-term we've talked about things like a reputation system, where flying responsibly would earn you points to get into a separate "world" filled with people who also want to do more serious flying.
> The code is then released as an AGPLv3 [...] but the only company with the rights to make money off it is the corp dev.

Actually anyone that has the AGPL code can sell and/or make money from it. People regularly buy GPL software and pay monthly subscriptions to hosted AGPL software.

If you can't compete without having some code as "trade secrets"; that's your failed business model, not a fault of the license.
In my experience at three large companies, any project where one part of the organization wants “the data” from another is actually just a power grab at the mid-manager level. To me when I hear “accounting wants direct access to the inventory data” I interpret that as cuz “accounting manager thinks the inventory team is slow or incompetent and thinks if their own team just had the underlying inventory data directly accessible she could cut out the middle man!”

The problem of course is that data has to be interpreted, and often that interpretation is complicated. After all, that is why we write programs and don’t just query/insert into databases directly from the terminal. Most “data” is inextricably tied to the programs that interact with them, and freeing the data without making the complexities of the program known leaves both organizations open to horrible bugs.
Apparently not that hard of a sell if it sold out in 20m.

>Tesla was run by a technical founder (Stanford PhD pedigree fwiw) that knows his shit (though a bit crazy and prone to exaggeration and hyperbole)

Musk was not a Stanford PhD nor a founder, if that's who you are referring to. If you can point me to any evidence of either that doesn't come from him, I'll be happy to stand corrected.

>He even hired his brother--a guy who used to install carpets--to run Nikola's hydrogen infrastructure.

Can you tell me what Kimball's qualifications are for sitting on the Tesla board?

I mean, I agree, the Nikola story is hilarious and stupid. But somehow other companies get away with what is the same thing. Milton didn't get to claim "aspiration", or that the trucks will "eventually" work.

> Like there’s an evil genius(es) with ulterior motives behind it all.

In a sense, I think there is. Instead of a cabal, it is just our collective intelligence getting lost in attractive pockets of irrationality.

I think virtue signaling could be as old as humans, because there are social and psychological benefits to being seen virtuous, without paying the costs of being virtuous.

The more it is demonstrated that people can get away with it, the more we are trained to consider that as an alternative, that we can get away with it too, and collectively we converge to a pit of empty appearances.

That said calling out something as virtue signaling also has failure modes; it is ultimately an accusation of duplicitousness and we can't really be sure of people's intentions. It can also have a chilling effect on genuine enactments of virtue.
Note that it's always sub-1million subscriber channels that get hit with this kind of "oopsie" (or deliberate ad revenue theft by copyright trolls). YouTube somehow shields the larger channels from this, because they know that all it takes is a few Linus Tech Tips or PewDiePies getting copyright trolled for them to create a new platform to compete with Google. Actually, a few have, but they're always just for one creator. If enough creators were affected, they would band together and make their own YouTube clone.
The panel itself is 1-bit, and is definitely a concious choice they made. I can't remember where I read it, but the screen was the most expensive component, and was likely pricier than color options. It's also super-reflective, so apparently very visible in a lot of lighting conditions, sort of like e-ink but with a great refresh rate. I beleive it's the same panel as this: https://www.adafruit.com/product/4694
Not really sure what you mean.

With regards to reproductive toxicity report, I’m not really sure how to prove the absence of something, but the best study I found is on 44 rats. Let me know if you can do better. Aside from that, the VAERS miscarriage data directly supports the hypothesis that the COVID vaccines do indeed have some sort of effect on reproductive health. Can you provide some other explanation for that data?

The VAERS data also directly supports my statement about there being more deaths due to this vaccine than all the rest of the previous 20 years put together.

I am finding many articles that support the fact that natural immunity is at least as good as the vaccines. Here’s another study if the WHO isn’t good enough for you. https://www.precisionvaccinations.com/natural-immunity-after... please let me know if you find anything to the contrary.

Recent evidence supports ADE, but I agree it’s not something to be concluded just yet. The ADE hypothesis directly explains higher titer rates in vaccinated cases unvaccinated and also the fact that more vaccinated counties in California have higher case rates currently. This needs to be looked into further, but if the deleted NBC article is anything to go by, ADE will instead be memory-holed.

Anything else that you specifically have a problem with?
I'd disagree progress becomes impossible, for the simple reason at this point rules and processes start getting bypassed or skipped altogether.

I once had a role in management at a mid size software company. The company was quite stodgy, with a lot of regulations and processes. If I'd wanted to I could have worked a solid 60 hours a week keeping up with all the process and procedure changes, and then following them. After attempting just this, I realized in a few weeks I did not want to, so I simply stopped. And guess what? Nothing happened. Of course I heard about a few things that needed to be done, and quickly learned exactly which ten of the hundreds of processes were important; or rather had someone who's job it was to track them.

I continued in a this purely reactive manner, saving myself a lot of work and trouble, and had a really high performing team in the organization. There was an article some weeks ago about the merits of doing nothing, indeed this is why I don't believe this article expresses a valid concern.
someone on facebook: "SEE! THE CDC/FDA/CIA/IRS HAS BEEN LYING TO US ALL ALONG! THEIR TEST FOR THE VIRUS WAS RIGGED! NOW THEY'RE TRYING TO HIDE THAT BY TELLING EVERYONE TO USE A DIFFERENT TEST! DON'T BE A SHEEP, KNOW TEH TURTH AND SET YOURSELF FREE!"

Another cop out: there's already suffering in the world, so why do anything about it?

There are two points. One is that animals and plants suffer in order for others to survive. For the most part, a balance is achieved. Animals and plants take what they need in order to survive, and there's no other way for them to survive. Humans are different. We don't need all the destruction we cause to survive. We simply choose to. The second point is that humans dramatically increase and multiply the amount of suffering in the world. The argument isn't to rid the world of suffering, because how could that even be accomplished? The argument is to reduce humanity's contributions to the suffering.
It has happened, it is rare though. Also know of a few cases of folks selling peoples houses out from under them by fooling the title company when they were on a long vacation. Realistically, most thieves are far too lazy, and it’s real (and risky) work doing that compared to doing a bunch of credit card fraud.
I would also wonder about vectors for causing vandalism (botting your client to write racist words in the sky with a fleet of stunt planes emitting smoke trails), or other general forms of malice (trying to DoS or otherwise crash the server).

Presumably X-Plane is small enough and "boring" enough that your only malicious interactions would be only lazy drive-by attempts, but those kinds of situations would be more concerning to me than someone modding the client to make their plane fly at Mach 7.

This was such an amazing read. Getting nervous about not being able to diff things is so relatable!
I don't totally agree but it's a good point.

I think it's important to add that with China t's not simply poor working conditions (happens in other countries too, but CCP on a vast scale and what we're talking about).

It's forced labor and genocide, which I think we have a fundamental human obligation to do the smallest bare minimum of trying to avoid those goods (like cotton). That should rise above states and politics.

Though tougher action that could make a difference of course has big consequences and a big ethical dilemma for sure. But a boycot seems like the most basic bare minimum.
I really like Jacob's suggestion to set up the "restore a copy of the production database to staging" script to use an allow-list of columns, rather than a deny-list.

It's so, so easy for PII and other sensitive data to end up copied to a staging environment, which has a higher chance of shipping a security vulnerability than the production environment does (plus exposes data to staff within an organization).

Strictly allow-listing columns from the start seems like a great way to minimize accidental leaks.
Have you tried playing with tilesets? I feel they make the experience easier on the eyes.
All Teenage Engineering products are overpriced. They are some kind of premium / luxury brand.
> LFP is reported at ~$80/kwh for large Chinese buyers. Are those figures accurate?

Yes, automotive buyers were having it for less than $100 per kWh for at least 5 years now. Still not sure for which density range these prices are. 190wh/kg LFP cells are now available in retail, and 200wh/kg been around for at least 2 years for automotive, and been used in EV busses from a few manufacturers.

It wouldn't be a stretch to say that biggest, and longest term contracts can get it to $60 per kWh.

Lowest end, storage class LFPs must also be quite cheap in lower volumes, and haven't looked at them for a long time.
I would encourage you to consider the real experience[1] of your users instead of just a Lighthouse score. Lighthouse is just one tool to understand performance, but prefetching links often leads to a better user experience. If the end performance is still exceptional as tracked by your Core Web Vitals[2], then it won't affect SEO.

replace "mainstream narrative" with "X narrative" and you have a point. 'mainstream' is meaningless.
Frankly, does anyone have business in fact checking at this point? Who checks the fact checkers? I can't think of any source that hasn't repeatedly bungled information over the past year. What we have is consensus checking, at best.
I’m not even convinced there is evidence Citadel stood to gain from Melvin doing well.

The terms of their deal weren’t disclosed but a lot of the news stories suggested Citadel got a slice of Melvin for a line of credit. That’s a pretty good distressed asset price!

Is there possibly a middle ground? If the meeting is about a big project and I have expert knowledge on a small part of that, I will often work through the meeting but stay tuned in for parts relevant to me. Spending the whole meeting in rapt attention would likely be a waste of time, but not attending at all is bad as well.

As others have said, an upfront agenda is helpful.
Service Architecture at SoundCloud – Part 1: Backends for Frontends
I'd guess that the gap you're missing is that one of the namespace types containers use is a mount namespace.

During container setup, you get a new mount namespace so that any changes to mounted filesystems are only seen by processes sharing that new mount namespace. Then you mount the filesystem from the docker image, replacing the filesystems mounted in the root namespace.

I don't know if it'll help, but that process is very similar to what happens during boot, where you've initially got a root filesystem mounted from the initrd, but you replace it with the root filesystem from a disk after you've loaded the right drivers from the initrd.

>Monetization during Content ID disputes is enabled when both the video creator and the Content ID claimant want to monetize the video. Throughout the dispute process, we'll hold the revenue separately and, once the dispute is resolved, we'll pay it out to the appropriate party

Or does that only apply if it's content-id and there's some other kind of copyright claim with a different resolution pipeline?

Setting aside today's issues with the Playdate launch, the fact that Shopify's plug-ins are setup this way has always seemed like a missed opportunity on Shopify's part. I used some plugins that were unreliable with only ONE user, nevermind thousands. Shopify should either provide standard infrastructure, or vet more legit plugin providers setups to handle X amount of concurrents.

My friends and I watch movies in Bigscreen VR (simulated movie theater) and honestly, it's some of the most fun I've ever had. It's like renting out a theater with friends where you can be as loud as you want for free, several times per week.

I feel as though most people think about VR for its novelty use cases, like putting grandma on a roller coaster, or doing some exercises or whatever. Swing a lightsaber at Darth Vader!

I don't think we've even scratched the surface on the possibilities of just creating fun environments for friends to goof around in. That's going to be the future of this technology.
I think this is key. The law is definitely not my area of expertise and policy can be surprisingly complex ... still, I would think there is a better way.

My naive stab at the problem would be to withhold ad revenue for content in dispute. Obviously this would hurt original authors when their content is disputed but it might squelch the current bad-behavior.

One step further (but still maybe not overall better) would be for the winner of the claim to take all/part of ad-revenue from monetized+infringing uses.
Thanks - that's a good philosophy and position to be in :)
