Absolutely agree. The loss of prestige journals would be salutary and force researchers to focus on content, not cover.

GK Marinov, BJ Wold, and colleagues analyzed the quality of nearly 800 ChIP-seq datasets in the NIH GEO database (see figure S8 in their 2014 G3 paper: https://doi.org/10.1534/g3.113.008680 ). They independently scored the quality of data generation and analysis and then compare their summary quality scores to the journal impact factor in which each dataset was published.

Can you guess the polarity of the correlation? Yes, it was negative, and consistently so over a five year span.
> They want to move to e2e for photos so they don't have to keep those keys.

That's my suspicion too, but has it actually been confirmed?
The maintainers of the project chose to implement this change. You may not like it, and you are free to make a fork compatible with the original apache 2.0 license, but it is well within Elastic's right to add this. This is the danger with corporate open source in general.

Facebook made a similar unilateral decision in relicensing React from Apache 2 to "BSD + Patents" many years ago. They faced quite a bit of pressure, resulting in another relicensing to MIT.
Not trying to evade your question, but my first thought was that "fair payment" can be indirectly deduced by what others are willing to pay and work for. (Although as an aside, it seems like as a senior software engineer with 9 years of professional experience, you might be able to leverage your current experience for an even higher salary at another company.)

The other trick I've used at various points in my career is to change cities. (Not trying to be flip, but if you can't negotiate a higher salary, you could try negotiating a full-time remote position, and then find a location with lower rent.) The other thing to negotiate for: shorter hours. (A handful of companies offer less-than-40-hour workweeks, or generous vacation packages.) And the last option is just becoming a contractor, so you have some control over how many hours you work -- but/and also how many hours you'll be paid for.
I think Apple may have really screwed the pooch with this move. They're going to catch hell for being able to take images from your device without warning or consent, and, they'll catch hell if they remove it.

Worse, they've also opened the door to government censorship of images and content and propped that door wide open.
This is such a profound concept.

Worth nothing that after German reunification, East Germans had lost the vocabulary and political context of democracy, and didn't really know what parties meant, what they did, the concept of voting, balance of power etc. etc.. It was erased.

We see this in people fleeing North Korea - they often talk about people not even having the ability to have certain kinds of dissenting thoughts.

I'm sure this is an issue everywhere, but the pervasive ability of the CCP to control language is problematic.
I don't see any powers of ten notation? And using the same unit for all the account numbers is a very good thing.
That code is not accessible to us. The report to NCMEC would be generated by Apple after they have manually reviewed the derived images included in the security vouchers your device submitted after it analysed your photos.
You don't have to guess: they're a public company.

> This reads like a failure of the NCMEC

Yes, it's a "failure" of a "private" Non(lol, technically, wink wink) Governmental Organization who works extremely closely with the FBI to put their camel-shaped nose under the very tent that the FBI happens to have been trying to breach for 20+ years.

Come on. It's beyond gullibility, at this point, to believe that NCMEC isn't an arm of the Feeb. Specifically, it's an arm that isn't required to comply with FOIA requests, which is particularly convenient.

Two years. At the current rate, you have approximately two years until the Feeb have full access to your iDevice. Though, I will admit, Apple's development of the SEP, their high-priced bug bounties, and their convincing play-acting at defying the FBI after the San Bernardino case definitely had me fooled.

We probably should have been more keen after they failed to close the bugs that GreyKey et. al. exploited.

But now we know. Everything they gave to China, they will give doubly so to their own corporate domicile.
The packet switching network was designed to be decentralized. That's layers 2-4 of the ISO/OSI model. Layer 7, the application level, is and always was a force of centralization.
There was never a truly communist government anywhere, even if you ask the communists themselves. Don't forget: per Marx, communism was supposed to be the final stage, to be achieved after a period of socialism. USSR was thus the "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics", not "Communist Republics" (although in Soviet sci-fi, USCR would sometimes pop up in the future).

If you rephrase the question as whether there's any socialist country that's not a dictatorship, the answer depends on your definition of "country". For example, Rojava is not internationally recognized as such, nor do they claim to be one, but they're a de facto independent polity that leans heavily socialist. For another example, the Zapatistas.

If we look at history, there was never a shortage of revolutionary democratic socialists. The problem is that back when socialist revolutions became viable, socialism as a political ideology was generally violently suppressed in all its forms, and only the most ruthless, authoritarian strains could not only take power, but hold it long enough. Bolsheviks in Russia are the archetypal example, and it's worth noting that the first thing they did after the revolution was disbanding the Constituent Assembly, as soon as they found out that they don't have the majority in it (it was held by other socialist parties, most of them democratic). For comparison, consider the Luxembourgists in Germany, and how their revolution fared.

The other problem is that there's a positive feedback loop there. Once Bolsheviks won in one country, they would sponsor socialist revolutionary movements in other countries - but any such aid would come with ideological strings attached. E.g. in Germany, the communist party was the one receiving funds from the Soviets, and the democratic socialists were labelled "social fascists"; and in Spain, Soviets even physically purged ideologically disagreeable people from the Republican ranks (Orwell has seen his share of that close up). Needless to say, well-funded movements are the ones that usually win, and so Soviet dominance ensured that authoritarian socialists would usually be the ones running the show everywhere else.

It is not a baby, it's a teratoma eating scientific world and society from inside, the time to cut it out is now!
We had a similar phenomenon on MTV, which made up the bulk of the programming on channel 4, in New Zealand. Is it really that US centric? The UK has their own MTV programming too, don't they?
Is that true? Let's examine this claim a bit more closely. Net profit margin for the quarter -24.38%, net income for the quarter -43.3M, sales growth slowing by double-digit percent every year since 2018.

It's possible to take in a ton of money and still lose money.
That is a lot of interpretation based on fairly implicit textual evidence. I am not disagreeing with your interpretation, only pushing back that this is the only possible interpretation.

Alternate interpretations exist. Including:

1. Orwell's writing slipping between his voice and the "narrator in the scene"

2. General stylistic choice to follow scientific writings style guides - 3rd party, impersonal, etc.

3. General de-personalization of the voice of the System, so as to be more fearful

I'm sure there are many others I have missed. Again, my point is just that many valid interpretations exist simultaneously - so "once you accept this" is not the fait accompli that I interpreted from your comment.
Apple gets to maintain its 30% commission and monopoly abuse of the app store (which is becoming the de-facto place where all consumer software downloads and payments occur), in return for feeding the iCloud data of all users worldwide to US intelligence agencies.

Presumably the quid pro quo outcome is that Apple is allowed to win the Epic vs Apple lawsuit.
My guess: Apple is doing this to get regulators of its back while implementing end-to-end encryption.
Yah. Seen it meanwhile. Was OK AFAICT. But... almost nobody dares to touch diverting from the official consensus of what exactly happened and how it happened. There are a few other people coming to different conclusions. One is https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastian_Pflugbeil who went into it, in person, as one of very few people. He gave many interviews, and about 2002 there was a documentary in german public television about it.

Anyways, his conclusions are based on the observations of other russian people who analyzed this in all possible ways, also in person, comparing floor plans and construction documents with what remained there. Based on that the story as it is commonly told, also in that HBO series can't be true. Especially not the amount of remaining radioactive material, and also not the nature of the initial reaction.

But since it's all in russian, and only some of that brought by Pflugbeil into german, it remains mostly in 'conspiracy theorist' territory.

I don't think it is.

I'm also aware that this is a 'speciality' of the RBMK design, so very unlikely or even impossible with other designs.

> "The report they publish is highly misleading, and strongly suggests the answer is 'greatly safer with it on.' That’s not true, and the most recent quarter numbers show it was probably slightly safer with Autopilot off."

I can't think of many companies I trust less than Tesla. Musk seems to have zero qualms lying through his teeth on a daily basis, and that seems to pervade the culture at the company as well.

>Publishing your vault of passwords on a public GitHub repository seems like a pretty bad idea, no matter how well you trust the client-side encryption code.

If it's properly encrypted you can display your encrypted vault on a Times Square billboard and it doesn't matter, it's like that physics experiment[1], looks scary but there's nothing unsafe about it.

Correct, the OS’ OOM reaper will kick-in to try and protect core OS operations. So you don’t want to let it get to that stage - you’d typically want to keep at least 15% free memory for the OS to do its thing.

Commercially available RAM today goes all the way to 24TB these days, which should be sufficient for a good number of search use cases. Beyond that you’d have to shard data across multiple clusters.

Similarly with Algolia, they use 128GB RAM clusters, and recommend you keep your Algolia index size below 100GB: https://www.algolia.com/doc/guides/sending-and-managing-data...
> So what credentials if any do they have at evaluating scientific consensus on addiction

This is an ad-hom attack, and not productive.
It's not a philosophical argument at all. Businesses embrace commercially supported open source software because it makes business sense to do so. The door of interoperability swings both directions. Open source vendors frequently acquire customers through users who 1) are moving from another compatible vendor 2) trialed their open source software for an extended period of time, often in production, and 3) from introduction by highly innovative teams in a larger corporation.

When customers see Elastic circling the wagons to remove some of the differentiators of their open source software, they're going to have to reconsider their options.
I've been prototyping for some time now and never really focused on getting my projects into PCBs.
But yeah I guess you're right I can't really argue with you, I should improve my electronic design skills.
Are there any PMs or devs out there who A/B test many/most bug fixes or performance improvements?

In principle, a minor bug fix and a feature aren't all that different. There's a control experience and a new experience, and an A/B test can compare their performance.

In practice, I find many features are run with stat sig analysis of their impact, whereas UX bugs are either not fixed (not important enough) or fixed, without measuring their impact.

Of course experience-breaking bugs should be deployed at 100%. But what about all those UX bugs that are in a flow which is shipped and kinda working already?

Wouldn't it be interesting to see that a UX "fix" actually performs worse? Or, wouldn't it be nice to know when a UX fix produces a measurable performance increase?

My anecdote: A scrolling bug on a mobile web sign-in page. It's 1 field form - email address. On mobile web, you can't scroll to see the email field when you have the on-screen keyboard open. This page is the top of funnel for a promotional offer via ads. It's obviously broken, but it's already shipped and (surprisingly?) actually kinda working. Would you fix it at 100% rollout, or do it via an experiment, or not fix it? Why?

Curious if anybody has other experiences to share about this idea :-)
Your unprovoked comment about not having a job read like you were desiring one.
Indeed, for three years or so Apple's privacy policy has specifically had this in it-

"Security and Fraud Prevention. To protect individuals, employees, and Apple and for loss prevention and to prevent fraud, including to protect individuals, employees, and Apple for the benefit of all our users, and prescreening or scanning uploaded content for potentially illegal content, including child sexual exploitation material."

https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/

Under "Apple's Use of Personal Data". They had that in there since at least 2019.

Add that an Apple executive told congress two years ago that Apple scans iCloud data for CSAM.
Elastic's main selling point is not so much the full text search.

The search is what it does but most of it's value is centered in the management/scaling/monitoring of full text search over many machines.

I love Postgres but it's "clustering" story is definitely not as user friendly.
Of course if you scream you are a bully. Because you can only scream to someone in a lower position than you, by definition, and that is cowardice. You become outright hostile and let loose your childish immature selfish self because you feel safe and powerful enough to do so. That, is dysfunctional and unhonorablr and that's why I never scream.
If your users don't have another option, or your product has serious network effects, users will keep coming back. From Fast Company 2016:

"To test its users’ loyalty, Facebook sometimes made its Android app crash for several hours over the course of several years. ... Users were so hooked that they “never stopped coming back,” despite the errors."

https://fastcompany.com/3055089 (2016)
Do you intend on going back and reviewing past accounts that were terminated for the same reason?
Sometimes you need to do higher order stuff (or, maybe you don't? But it exists for good reason)

Do you think it's better to use a conceptually difficult example to showcase a high order function? Or do you think it's better to show an example where the reader can accurately understand the concept and focus on what the function does?
Some people are definitely not able to. There's a reason why co-working spaces were popular. Managers are just prone to this as well.

I don't think most are purposely slacking off, though. From what I've seen, they feel very guilty, and the guilt often pushes them deeper into laziness.
I agree whole-hardheartedly with this.

When I jumped into Apple in the early 2000's, there was amazing software. I recall in particular my first Intel-Mac-laptop. There was this amazing program that changed the GUI to look like the Bjork video "All is Full of Love". It was absolute magic (beyond the random crashes of the first Intel macs which SUCKED).

I think the problem with all app-stores is this:

1. There's lots of very low quality software.
2. There's no way to verify the software does what it says it does before purchasing.

I can't tell you how many times I've bought an app for my daughter--even from "reputable" companies that only has a few minutes of content before it starts begging for money, coins etc.

Or even if the game didn't beg for money, it was just nonsense. I bought my daughter a game that had no pay mechanics-- but, you had to earn "coins" to do impossible challenges to get prizes. I ended up playing most of the game for her because it was just too hard for a kid, and it was just too hard for an adult who cut his teeth on Atari and Nintendo. It wasn't fun, just tedious. The game required you to make 300ish correct decisions with about one second each in-between them.

In the old days, I was happy to drop 25$ on an interesting app.

I'd love to check out Panics Nova but the Apple Ecosystem isn't viable for me anymore. :-/
Why is "Google Play Music -> Youtube Music" not on his list. It's the perfect example of the detritus filth that flows from Google PM's.

Another example is Android Auto. I was kind of interested when Google announced it was being "optimized" to just work standalone.

The problem is, is that it is actually way more optimized for me to just use google maps and my music player and my podcast player and etc, than it is to use android auto because android auto sleeps the screen and I have to click the power button on the side to make it wake up (vs just double tap to enter the phone). smh. Just can't even get very simple things correct.
Who said anyone was doing anything for exposure, either? I think open source is doomed if people fail to understand that when you release open source code under open source licenses, your users don’t owe you anything, and in return, you don’t owe your users anything either. As far as I’m concerned, I don’t even really care that much about whether or not people adhere to the licenses I use for the most part.

Nobody is owed a sustainable ecosystem to profit off of open source. When things align to be mutually beneficial, that’s great. But by the nature of it, if you want to make money off of software, you should not release it as open source. It’s probably going to eventually wind up being a conflict of interest, wherein the “open” parts of a project eventually become less and less relevant in favor of closed parts.

Open source doesn’t and shouldn’t guarantee a sustainable business model. The best you can hope for is that parties collaborate because they can benefit mutually from this collaboration, like with the Linux kernel.
Understanding the history of OOPs development, what motivated it, what problems it seeks to solve, it's guiding principles, and design semantics, are not invalidated by copy on modify Uri classes (or Strings!).
Yeah, there's definitely someone mass-downvoting anyone who criticizes the piece in any way. Dunno if it's that guy or not. But it doesn't hurt to have clear, concise answers to deflecting questions in the comments for skim-readers to see.
Indeed. In the US corruption has been legalised. For example healthcare - in a corrupt third world country you might expect to hand cash under the table in order to see a doctor. In the US, that cash goes over the table.
I don't think you can state that the vaccines provide a stronger immune response. There is a lot of evidence to the contrary, including this OP. They may provide a stronger single-antibody response as measured at some point in time, but there's no evidence that that results in "better" immunity.

To measure immunity you need to see who gets re-infected and how seriously. Of what I've seen, those studies either show no difference or an advantage for natural immunity.

I don't think the information that natural immunity might be better, is all that helpful. But the growing evidence that it is (at least) as good, is very relevant, since it means vaccines can be prioritized to those who have not yet had Covid-19.

And people who have had it, should certainly not be discriminated against in any way.
Indeed, a new equilibrium must be arrived at, as the existing contract has proven suboptimal (except perhaps for Amazon, in this context). This is why you see many projects (Redis, Elastic) with commercial potential (or actively generating revenue) moving away from open source licenses that allows for AWS to copy and serve their work wholesale without any compensation or rev share, even if they lose some business from doing so. A loss of some business is preferred to a level of business that is unsustainable for an org as a going concern.

Please.

Oh good, I'm glad you took the time to contradict yourself.

So misinformation exists but we'll never be able to identify it?

The world is not flat. The anunaki don't exist. COVID vaccines don't contain microchips.

Well the trouble is that it makes developing detection nearly impossible.

> For example I really want a feature to make playlists with albums, you can create playlists with all the songs of many albums, but is not possible to see it as a list of albums with the cover arts, like the Library. For example make a playlist of favorite albums of 2021, favorite albums of 90s rap, favorite albums of Bowie, etc.

This kind of thing boggles my mind. An album, a playlist, the current queue, these are all lists of songs. They ought to be implemented by the same model under the hood. You ought to be able to do the same set of actions to any of them - add to a playlist, add to the queue, etc. But for some reason you can only do some of things to some of the lists of songs and that changes depending on which client you are using.

This is not unique to Spotify either, Amazon Music had the same issues.
