Rand Paul is one of the staunchest libertarians in federal office. If there's any single deeply held belief that he has, it's that profit-seeking corporations should be able to do absolutely anything they want to anyone, and damn the consequences. So I don't feel bad that a corporation decided to do whatever they hell they wanted and suspended him. It feels a little like a "I didn't think the leopards would eat my face!" situation. This schadenfreude is independent of whether I actually agree with YouTube's choice in this particular video.

I initially had a knee-jerk-reaction to "gender... influence" on use...

However, I literally, 45 minutes ago was talking to a couple of ladies that had stapped umbrelleas to their back-pack straps for shade as they hiked the trail I ride every day.

I see them several times a week (I ride every day, they are out M.W.F) -- and I have had this design in the back-of-my-head for an umbrella strap for backpacks...

Anyway, one of the ladies, Robin, said that Back-pack straps are different for women "because we have chests"... and I realized that I had never even thought of backpacks for women's anatomy vs unisex backpacks...

So it immediately made me check myself to realize that this non-consideration out of unintended ignorance can be a thing...

It will likely take a long time before we have some real, deep research into the UX patterns that are gender specific....

(I just hope we NEVER go down the UX patterns of pronoun specific, that just seems too far.)

Would stone slabs for housing scale for tens of millions living in this desert?

Maybe it would, but I have to imagine the mass of resources required would go up. Concrete with insulation is cheaper and less massive to build.

Mud and fiber or wattle have good properties too. Would we have enough resources for building housing for tens of millions out of these materials?

As one offs we can find a multitude of good solutions. The problem is finding affordable mass produced options for all the people who can’t afford iteresting bespoke solutions.
Or, before they disappeared, copy onto a Beta VCR, they were immune to Macrovision because they took their AGC reading from a different portion of the NTSC waveform, and therefore the Macrovision signal did not impact them.
You are very correct, this just makes it harder for someone who isn't too motivated to find all your posts. Anything you post online should be considered permanent anyway (unless you actually want to find it later, I guess).

Entirely too long ago I ended up using a pen plotter for two physics projects. In the second one, I built an extraordinarily slow scanner out of a plotter and a light pen. Whew. Worked, though.
>Italy they've recently introduced a weird cloud system

Not really weird in itself, but overall stupid, what is weird is how you get it (and how its use is becoming mandatory almost anywhere in governement sites).

The thingy is called SPID, and you get it through a small number of (private) firms (for a fee) or from Poste Italiane (the National Post Office) for free.

What they don't tell you (and that you learn only once you have one) is that there are three levels for it:

1) lowest level basically login+password

2) middle level, login+password+SMS or 2FA via app

3) high level that requires a smartcard (like the new electronic national ID card or the Codice Fiscale card) AND a smart card reader

BUT on some government sites (not all) you can use any among login+pin/password, SPID, CIE or CNS.

It is a mess.

Of course banks do not use any opf them and you have separate login+password+SMS or 2FA via specific bank app.
Now, that is a sad story.

I hope that they were able to get help, because early back injuries have a habit of coming back to haunt you, later in life. I have a bad back from a tweak I did, when I was 18. Nowadays, it is an entire new universe of pain. Back then, it was just a little twinge.

The argument would be that a new GUI toolkit will capture applications that would otherwise be made with an older, accessible toolkit. In that sense, it‘s a regression, not just a clear improvement.

I do agree about the idea though. We shouldn't shut down experiments just because they don‘t have a plan for it yet. I do see some of that on twitter etc. But once you‘re shipping software that users can‘t switch away from, because of network effects or because it‘s at work, it‘s not ok.

Also, yeah, I (not OP) depend on it.
Interesting. Thanks for the explanation. Do you have any paper that demonstrates this approach?

Since no one is perfect, it is so easy to find such a person, that it is every person.

National-level quality of life as an average of states that can make either choice is like some states littering and some states cleaning up after them, or as a parent poster wrote "punishes states that attempt to increase their quality of life too far above the national average".

You seem to think having a low quality of life and lowering the quality of life are the same, and additionally, that improving the quality of life in a given state is something that a state, almost by definition, cannot do.
That pen changer is really cool and seems like a simple setup.

No. It doesn't.

We try this over and over. Racism is an even bigger example. You go from public views to closeted views. Closeted views are usually more harmful. I've been in openly racist environments and in ones with closet racism. Open racists are sometimes easy to ignore, often easy to circumvent, and in some cases, possible to convince. Closeted racists are much more subversive.

You can see the same effects in countries with totalitarian religious regimes, where the religion comes off behind closed doors.

People pretending to follow public health measures when they know they're being watched is a worst-case scenario -- at that point, you can't even do studies on what works.
I also started doing this, but using containers locally (on a Mac). The ability to have a set dev environment without needing to install local programs or compilers is great. And really once you flip to this model, it doesn’t matter if you’re running your dev in a container or remote VM. So long as you can get a command line to your dev environment, it really doesn’t matter where it is.

It certainly must be due to the mirrorless switch. The older DSLR is just good enough that I never ended up trying out any of the newer systems.

I don't think it's a bad system to build on, but I would be nervous to have it as the only option in my tool belt. Proprietary cloud services often create vendor lock-in, and the skills you learn eventually become non-transferrable as you get more invested in their system. If you only want to work at serverless companies, or on serverless projects, that may be fine. But, knowing how to SSH into a machine, maneuver around, and how to set up a server will always be valuable

This is the 2nd article I’ve seen in recent time bikeshedding the minutia of the git development process as part of criticizing the git learning curve.

I fear we’ve reached the point that people are starting to realize the grand new UI to make git easy will always be a pipe dream and that no UI can actually make git intuitive to a noob, but they aren’t going to put away the knives either.

I’m not saying that git has zero fault for more of a learning curve than nessicary, but blaming git itself for the fact nobody can be arsed to learn it is an industry wide cop out and an embarrassment.
>Reducing dry bulb temperature == removing heat. Reducing wet bulb temperature == removing humidity.

This isn't the best interpretation. Both reducing humidity and reducing dry-bulb temperature can reduce the amount of energy in the air.

Take a look at a psychrometric chart [1]. If you hold the humidity constant and reduce dry bulb temperature, you indeed reduce the enthalpy (what I interpret you mean by 'heat'). Likewise, if you keep the dry-bulb temperature constant and reduce the humidity you also reduce the enthalpy

To your point, this is why fixed dry-bulb economizers aren't recommended in humid climates as a means of conserving air-conditioning energy by bringing in outside air but enthalpy controllers are allowed across all zones.

Uber grew extremely fast in its initial years and that resulted in large number of teams starting NIH projects to "make themselves useful". Uber switched to Slack a while back, in addition to laying off a sizable chunk of the engineering workforce, and it didn't really collapse on itself.

Nowadays, there's a lot more support internally at Uber for buying off-the-shelf solutions instead of trying to reinvent wheels.

No and for various reasons.

1. Fertility: I am a woman of child bearing age (early 30s) and actively trying to conceive this summer. There has been thousands of reports that the vaccine affected women's menstrual cycle short term and so I did not want to take that chance. If I stopped having babies or didn't want any, I may have considered it. It also took CDC half a year to finally look at these reports (why so long?). https://qz.com/2045518/does-the-covid-19-vaccine-affect-wome...

2. Trust: When experts in the same fields disagree with each other on how the pandemic has and is being handled (Dr Pierre Kory, Bret Weinstine, Dr Robert Malone, Bryam Bridle, Martin Kulldorff, so many more) it's a cause of concern for me to research and see why. Even if they're wrong, if a conclusion is so blatantly obvious then you would either have real genuine consensus or a respectful debate amongst them (respectful is key). Seeing (social) media platforms silencing or condescendingly "fact checking" has not given me the trust that I need in public health. A vaccine is not and should not be the only way out of this pandemic. We know that those vaccinated can also transmit the disease (sure, maybe reduced chances) but they still can so if you want to be protected individually, get the shot. Also why is there a continuous push to mandate vaccine, even on those that's been infected with covid already? It seems like that's the only metric they are measuring for success but I do not agree that is what success looks like.

https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/lasting...

"Sir Andrew said the next thing might be "a variant which is even better at transmitting in vaccinated populations", adding: "So, that's even more of a reason not to be making a vaccine programme around herd immunity.""

You may not agree with me but if you can understand the sentiment of "if North Korea asks you to take this drug that they have deemed to cure cancer, with all these data provided, would you?" Sure comparing the US Government to North Korea may be a stretch but the feeling is similar.

3. Personal Responsibility and risk profile. I am not currently vaccinated so therefore I am going to reduce my risks by not going to concerts, pubs, crowded places, etc. I work from home and I have a healthy diet with vitamins (C, D, Zinc) sleep well, exercise and keep within my bubble. Most importantly, I am working on not having this virus or the social fear affect me. Stress and anxiety is one way to bring down your immune system!

And if other people decide to take it, that's great for them.
Apparently. Similarly, the top comment on any article about VR seemingly must also be about hating Facebook.
That's great that you've identified the very obvious service, but you've failed to identify the source of income. Who's going to pay for this service? Insurance companies? Bwahahahahah. Not a chance. Individual homeowners? They don't even pay for insurance. Renters? Nope. What about commercial? Those are also all renters, so why would they pay for something when they could piggyback off of any of the other tennants paying for the service? Landlords? Hell, they won't pay to for the most basic of service unless forced.

So you're panacea of if they build it, they will come isn't as realistic as you are hoping.

Edit: Also, you'd better have one hell of a legal team to draft up some BS ToS to protect from when ultimately your firefighting efforts fail. One lost property, and your valuation drops to 0.

It is fairly common for the internet to ignore the kind of alienation felt by immigrants in an (intentional or accidental) ethno-state.

We hear more about racism in the US, UK and similarly 'diverse' countries because there are more interactions that enable that. We hear of religious tensions in India and France because both countries have enough diversity for discussion/conflict to be a possibility. In ethnically homogeneous countries, you get drowned out before you even realize it. The part that often gets ignored, is that it has very little to do with the human development of said country. Scandinavia and East Asia have the same or even greater propensity for racism as the common offenders. They just don't have enough interactions for it to get surfaced.

I believe a psychrometer operates on the same principle.

"A psychrometer, or a wet and dry-bulb thermometer, consists of two calibrated thermometers, one that is dry and one that is kept moist with distilled water on a sock or wick. At temperatures above the freezing point of water, evaporation of water from the wick lowers the temperature, such that the wet-bulb thermometer will be at a lower temperature than that of the dry-bulb thermometer. "

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygrometer

The psychrometer just compares the wet and dry bulb temperatures to arrive at a relative-humidity value. I.e., it still operates on the principle of a wet-bulb thermometer.

> The idea that young men and women who work together should be forbidden from exploring relationships with with classmates or coworkers is a kind of bizarre neo-puritanism.

The problem with that is, what happens if the relationship goes south as relationships tend to do over time. Then the two of you have to work every day with someone they hate. It's just more sensible to keep things professional to begin with.
It won't, but it will allow a buildup that is going to survive the correction. I know that one of my funds has never made less than 6%, and that was in 2009. It has done considerably better, since (and before). I've been saving and investing 25%-40% of my income for over 30 years.

If it all goes down the drain, I am quite capable of doing a whole lot of stuff.

> Seems to me that anyone could play this and decide their own interpretation of "anxious wolf" which is exactly my criticism of it.

Right, I think this is very intentional. The author even interrupts the game at one point to tell the player that they should choose the choices that personally give them the most anxiety. My playthrough ended up focusing in on a lot of the "productivity" lines; are you wasting time doing X, is it responsible to engage with people if you don't have a clear set of goals about where it will end, that kind of thing.

> Things that contain more depth are less subjective in their interpretations.

I'm not sure about this. A vision of anxiety that focuses on "this specific action causes stress" would be less subjective, but I think it would also be less accurate. Anxiety (particularly clinical anxiety) is often all-encompassing, when anxiety gets really "fun" is in the moments where you're simultaneously scared of every possible choice at the same time, including inaction. I've been fortunate enough to avoid the worst of these experiences in my life, but from what experiences I do have, the feeling the game invokes of being scared almost just for the sake of being scared, as if fear itself is some kind of defense against the world falling apart -- that does resonate with me, and I think the game does a good job of capturing that.

The other thing that I suspect that some people online have latched onto with this game is just the process of sitting down and visualizing yourself and asking "what am I scared of right now." It's not universal, but for a lot of people I think disassociation can often be a really powerful cognitive technique both for self-analysis and for staging self-interventions during some types of panic attacks, and disassociation is not always something that comes intuitively to everyone.

It's interesting to see the different reactions though. :) It's funny because if anything my criticism of the game is that near the end it gets a little too specific and too prescriptive for my tastes about how to address fears. I like the idea of having a healthy relationship with anxiety, and I do think that idea captures something meaningful; but I don't think that's something that can be set up in only one conversation, and I don't think the motivations/solutions the author lays out for fear are broad enough to capture what that process will or should look like for everyone, the game feels overly optimistic about how hard that process is.

But like you said, it's a short game. I think it suffers a little bit from not having the necessary time available to avoid an abrupt ending that sort of implies treating anxiety just requires having an emotional breakthrough that solves everything.

“ I think the general aversion to OSS is more that there is no responsible actor. In many cases, if you integrate a third party paid solution you can file a bug on that solution with reasonable confidence it can be a priority”

I know that’s what management believes but in reality it’s a complete illusion. I can’t recall a simple time where we got a bug fix within reasonable time from any of our 6, 7, or 8 figure software vendors. You get fixes only if you have paid for custom code but tickets against the actual product disappear into the void.
