If I'm remembering correctly, it was way more specific than that. The only genetic thing is there were some extreme racial biases. You really don't want to be an Asian man or a Black woman on a dating site.

But plenty of non-genetic things. Back when they let you list an income range, men with higher incomes got much better response rates. Men heavily favor women who are at least ten years younger than them. There were weirdly specific things about your photos that mattered, too, like you'd get a much better response rate if other people weren't in the photo with you, you'd get a better response rate if you weren't looking at the camera. Women were more attractive if they were smiling but men did better if they were not smiling.

Christian Rudder used to publish gold mines for anyone who wanted to just game hot-or-not. Plenty of this was stuff you could control, not genetic. Though I guess you can't exactly control your age even if it isn't genetic. It also let you sift through the lies, like women would always say they were turned off by shirtless pictures, but based purely on response rates, that definitely wasn't true for men who actually had lean bodies.
To be clear, I'm not saying regulatory agencies are bad. What I am saying, though, is that these agencies don't have an incentive to trim down red-tape in the interest of efficiency. On one level, it would be bad for their employees and budget. On another level, something might slip through the cracks so it makes sense for a safety agency to be far more risk averse than what it watches.
This is a huge part of the power of Elixir/Erlang. Libraries can be written to use the same powers of isolation, resiliency, and concurrency that application code has, at no extra cost to the consumer and with total transparency.

You quickly realize that every function you call could be working asynchronously underneath, and it’s not scary because the whole system is designed to function like this.

Perhaps that's true, but space launches are important enough that going "slowly"[1] is a good idea. One catastrophic accident with the destruction of a spacecraft leaving a large amount of orbital debris would make space launches much, much harder until we clean up. Rushing to space could slow us down a lot.

[1] The space race has only been going for 70 years, and less than 25 years commercially. The idea that anything is happening "too slowly" is quite baffling really.
Yeah I don't know, I've been extremely disappointed with Abseil, protobuf, and gMock. So whatever metric they're using, it's not generating particularly great C++.

I wouldn't care about some company's code quality but in these cases Google's clout (due partly from their maladaptive hiring practices) causes these bad libraries to get grandfathered into many projects that I have to deal with.
> The "give up and let it be endemic forever" defeatism attitude appears very statistically foolish.

Well first, that has nothing to do with what I wrote. I made a very specific argument about how fear -- hysteria, really -- is driving our reaction to what is right to do for children.

But second, it isn't "statistically foolish"...it's just a basic understanding of biology and our rather poor history of eradicating viral diseases. Statistics don't come into play here either way.

Reasonable people can disagree on whether or not Covid can be eradicated, but you have to be delusional to think that this will be accomplished on any sort of timeline that is relevant to our lifetimes.

No, the argument is that we should be actively supporting changes industrial regulation. That might mean writing wonky letters to congress or the editor, it might be protesting a factory, it might mean boycotting a company with certain practices. It certainly means being involved in the political process.

None of that means one shouldn't also make changes their personal lifestyle, but the problem is that plenty of people see that as sufficient. "Well, I'm a vegan and bike to work, so I've done my part." Or worse, a more watered down "I recycle." Those views are just a bad as the person that considers the problem too big and throws up their hands in defeat.

I'm actually in agreement with you. Those places I mentioned probably do not have DNA and amino-acid based life that looks anything like Earth, particularly because those environments eviscerate the delicate chemistry necessary for that particular system to work. So life would look totally different.

I'm more of the "Boltzmann Brain" persuasion. Life might take the form of electromagnetic waves or metallic structures that are respirating, self-replicating, information-processing things. In my more paranoid days, I think the internet is alive, as it is kind of like a life-form growing our the substrate of our collective digital actions.

The corollary to not empowering anyone to push content is disempowering some from pushing content. That is incredibly bad because gives some the power to limit the voices of others. History shows that this power is abused and that the abuse of this power is worse than disinformation.

If you look at what is happening today, this call for censorship in the name of combating disinformation has actually had no effect on disinformation. Instead, its real intended effect is to consolidate greater and greater powers of censorship in those who seek that power.

I think the whole issue of having a great programming language is a mute point in the current software industry, because average programmers don't know how to use it. That's why the winners have always be languages that appeal to the minimum common denominator, just the bare enough for people to write programers in the simple way they know. Lisp provide a lot of flexibility and power, but if programmers don't know how to use it, it is instead viewed as a liability.
I find Clojure awful both conceptually and implementation-wise (the imposition of lowest common denominators by JVM dependency really sucks here, starting with lack of tail calls, but not ending there), so that's most likely not going to happen. I don't see why the good things in Clojure should be impossible to achieve in CL as libraries. You might argue that CL community should be working on those, and you'd be completely right.
This is exactly what I miss about PSD2, a small company still can't just use an api to do it's banking, checking what money comes in and optionally (semi) automate payments.

My friends were at more junior levels so I don't know the full details too. However know this, a leadership class computing purchase by a national lab is a very complicated thing. Many people have their hands in the decision making pie - all the way up to Secretary of Energy.

Secondly, DOE has a strategy (mostly rightly in my opinion) of not putting all its' computation eggs in a single companies' basket. Thus national labs compete between themselves as do companies. Notice the cadence of computing purchases: IBM/Nvidia -> Intel/Intel -> AMD/AMD.

Thirdly, Intel had promised that using OneAPI existing GPU optimized simulation codes could be translated to Intel GPUs with minimum effort. The idea had merit, back in 2016-2017. I have a CUDA based simulation code - it's almost a matter of recompiling to Intel, with some minimal effort on my part. That it didn't work out - well hindsight is 20/20
There's no way of knowing this, considering the amount of asymptomatic cases that are never tested or recorded.
If you have ever lived next to the incarnation of this philosophy, you might be able to see through its holes. It's the plot of any number of bad scifi movies. Evil aliens travel from solar system to solar system, using up a planet, then moving on. They've now reached Earth.

There are plenty of industrial/mining sites that argue they need to be able to create huge hazard dumps for the sake of the future of the human race. It tends to be a very poor argument for those left holding the bag when the owners have taken their money and skipped town.

If the danger is so great that we have to get off this planet in the next five years or we all die, well, then we might justify more urgency. If we've got 10 or 20 years to do it, let's take the time to protect the environment while we do it.

If you want to argue that none of this bureaucracy is protecting the environment, that's a different argument.
This article does not make a lot of sense.

I’d say it’s less about “time is money” and more about “I can afford 100 diapers with this week‘s pay check at 25 cents a diaper” and use my entire $25 budget if I go to Walmart, or “I can afford 25 diapers at 50 cents a piece and spend the remaining $12.50 on food - that will get me through this week” if I go to dollar general.

That’s literally the definition of living pay check to pay check - one’s outlook only cares about the next week or two, because you have to make trade offs between food, clothing, shelter, and essentials.

But the re-absorbed CO2 will come from new limestone dissolving into calcium bicarbonate, not from atmospheric CO2.

You'll be adding more CO2 to the air -increasing oceanic acidification- while increasing the ocean's ability to dissolve more CaCO3. Far from fighting global warming it sounds like this will put exactly as much CO2 into the atmosphere and double the leaching impact on shellfish and coral.

I am shit at chemistry and would really like cement to not release CO2, but I don't understand this.

I made this project together with a friend to make doing homework together easier. We do not like using Discord, since it is closed-source and seems like a bloated program.

Because we couldn't find any dead-simple screen sharing solution online, we decided to make one our own.

Funny, I wasted a whole day reading about freicoin and demurrage... i.e. money that is specifically designed to circulate at a roughly constant velocity.

I came up with a strange idea that is slightly better. When banks create money via loans bind the lifetime of the deposit to the lifetime of the credit. I.e. individual dollars have expiration dates that are directly tied to monthly payments. If people default then the dollars expire and the bank has to either compensate by raising its interest premium or by lowering interest rates on the deposits to compensate the loss. This means that interest rates would have to be negative sometimes and all debts can be repaid one day.

Of course the cash withdrawal scheme is equally complex because cash represents perpetual deposits which would require a perpetual government bond on the other side.

Banks would transfer their worst deposits first when you transfer to another bank which would drag all banks to roughly the same level of interest without needing a central bank to set interest rates. The equilibrium interest rate would discover itself automatically, at least that is the hope.
Considering that cost-wise, they're already putting the RS-25 to shame (https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/05/nasa-will-pay-a-stag...), this seems more like an icing on the cake.
> You excelently described barcelona style circa 2010. But to play it and expect to win you need Iniesta AND Xavi BOTH.

This just delays the problem by 8ms - you still have all the same problems, except you've introduced 8ms latency. The cheats are still perfectly accurate, and are responding to perfect information. If you could only delay the information to the cheat, then you wouldn't need to do any of this because you could reliably just boot out the cheaters.

> ollect probabilistic evidence on players until you have a lot of evidence that a player is cheating, and add them to the “we'll ban later, but let's mitigate the damage for now” list.

That's what anticheat providers already do already, and yet we still have that problem.

> We're at the level of cheating where it's unlikely your anti-cheat will help, because they'd just fork out the €50 for cheating hardware.

Hard disagree here.

1) if you have an algorithm which can statistally distinguish cheating players from non-cheating players enough of the time, I'm guessing you have an algorithm or model that you can point to that does that? Because as far as I'm aware, they _help_, but don't fix.

2) People aren't forking out for dedicated hardware to spoof mice en masee, but they _are_ forking out for kernel level cheats to bypass the userland detection.
> If I were to write this in F#, there would be a type `Within5BusinessDays`

That’s not really the same thing - it’sa valid alternative approach but you’ve lost the benefits of a simple date - from (de)serialisation to the rich support for simple date types in libraries and other functions, the simple at-a-glance understanding that future readers could enjoy. Now the concept of date has been complected with some other niche concern.

> the type can become invalid after literally 1 second

Every system I’ve ever seen that has the concept of a business date strictly doesn’t derive it from wall clock date. E.g. it’s common that business date would be rolled at some convenient time (and most often not midnight) so you’d be free to ensure no impacts possible from the date roll.

>> I believe you can do the same with types, especially if the type system support generics

You can do something similar but you’ll need to change the system’s code.

It would be almost like gradual typing, except you could further choose to turn it off or to substitute your own types / schema without making changes to the system / code.

It’s quite a lot more flexible.
