That's what you get for making YT the arbiters of truth.

Censorship is dumb and tyrannical. The founding fathers of the US understood this 240+ years ago.
Keep in mind there are two completely disjointed networks of recruiters.

The first is basically LinkedIn spam at this point. It's typically an outsourced operation (can be several layers of outsourcing for larger organizations) where the "recruiters" are given keywords to match with profiles and a set of canned response to literally copy-paste in the chat. The point is simply to have a steady incomming stream of resumes of people looking for a new job. When there's headcount they might start sending automated messages advertizing recruiting events.

The second is, well, a network of recruiters where nobody is a "recruiter". They are "headhunters", "talent acquisition lead" or just "involved with hiring". It's when your friend insists on buying coffee a week before the next funding round of the startup he works at is announced and he is curious if you like your current job. It's when you make a few referrals for a new project before headcount is officially announced (watch out for the commission!) and so on.

Only one of them matters.
No.

It’s way more complex than that, and has been engineered to prevent exactly that scenario.

I recommend you actually check out some of Apple’s material on this.

The idea that it’s just a list or fingerprints or hashes that can easily be repurposed is simply wrong, but is the root of almost all of the complaints.
Go for it. But unless you pay (or it is a cash-only deal), it's a violation of federal law and the buyer can come after you later on for 3x the cost. End of story.

There's a bold assumption in your position that the regulators charged with wielding the power would do so with greater restraint or less paternalism than the platforms do now themselves.

What I really would expect to result from regulating the big social media players is that you'd simply institutionalize their dominant position. Regulatory regimes tend to discourage upstarts and often do little to reign in incumbents. After 2008 when increased regulation came after those bad "too-big-to-fail" banks... did we end up with smaller, but more diverse banking institutions or even fewer bigger banks that all looked pretty much the same? I could very well be wrong, but my sense is that we didn't move solve that problem and I don't think regulated big social media would be much better than what we have today.

I actually don't want to rebase. Rebase can rewrite your local history and make it impossible for you to push without doing a force push (or some other more complicated manuevering). The only time pull with rebase is okay (on a shared branch such as master) is when you know that your local branch is strictly behind remote. That's exactly what --ff-only does. It rebases only if you are behind remote, and declines to do so if you are ahead so you can sort your shit out without rewriting history.
I assume this is some sort of machine learning algorithm. How did they get the data set to train it on? That seems really strange. How did they test it? Seems like any engineers involved on this would come out with PTSD. Whatever they used to test it and train it with is illegal to possess and could only be used with some sort of massive government cooperation.
I don't think it is an option being investigated, because drivers have mandatory rest breaks. Communities like that trucks require the downtime, because they remember when drivers where coked up doing back to back runs pissing into a bottle and a danger to everyone.
Yup. We don't need to demand privacy as a means to an end, it is just respect I want from my belongings.

The word efficacy used to seem very glamorous to me until I realized that the people who use it are probably the same people that overuse the word ‘utilize’.
It is known that training a deep neural net consume much more energy than inferencing it.

It wasn't "memoryholed". Youtube is an entertainment site, not a repository of legal filings. And it's not the only option, just the one most likely to be correct.

I don't know where you've been buying them, but $10 is the normal price from the places I'd buy them and has been for ages.
That's such an asinine decision. They're gifs, ffs!

I've looked through Apple's paper, what are you referring to?
You mean like american soldiers wouldn't store sensitive nuclear info on public Quizlet decks? Hmm
Facebook does significantly more business outside the US then inside of it.
Yeah, that's because of the lower nominal voltage of the battery: 350v vs Tesla's 450v. So you get higher charge efficiency, but you'll get lower motor efficency with it. Not sure if it comes out ahead in end to end efficiency.
Yes, TFS is overall a survelleince produce for managers. However, that has nothing to do with the wiki implementation included with it, which is quite good. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
At one stage there was a thing for applications to have skins or themes and you could make your own.

Why isn't this a thing anymore?
Then it wouldn't be stable and would have already collapsed, and there's no mechanism to maintain the pin.

But there is a method to maintain the pin --- cooperative collusion from the exchanges.

You are assuming that the exchanges are honest, "free market" promoters like those found in regulated stock and currency markets. You have no way to know or verify this. They are accountable to noone but themselves.
A while back I linked a paper titled "The Technology Effect: How Perceptions of Technology Drive Excessive Optimism" (https://doi.org/10.1007/s10869-015-9399-4). This is a central trend in the posts I do. It is to consider whether "Excessive optimism that technology will result in success can have negative consequences." So I post within that lineage and to attract comments that may yield unique perspectives. Thus I see it as relevant in the discussion of what is created by technology in possible consequences. For this it relates to the vaccines. Other posts relate to how amish manage to use technology et al.

The secondary reason for posting is that most of what I post is a save for later access for my own use. I have other flag posts that I access in the same manner. So whatever floats your boat.
No, they are not. I linked to the text of the law itself [1]. In particular note the section titled "protection of privacy" that states:

(f) Protection of Privacy.

Honestly it's a hobby project at the moment. Mac users can just use Chrome or Firefox. It's not worth my money to get the electron build running for mac, or my time to work around safari bugs.

The design is very much a 00s throwback with a lot of density and power compared to more modern apps in the same category, so Mac users are unlikely to like it anyway. I was just tired of the older apps lacking modern features I like while the apps with the modern features were clearly mobile/touch first and so much slower for bulk operations than their older competitors as a consequence.
It's mostly just looping movies with no sound with a modern codec, people just call them gifs because they briefly were. There was some pushback on the misleading name, but nobody listened, words are fluid.
But who will decide what commands will be part of that subset? There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of commands that are used regularly in tex documents for displaying various forms of notation, and mathematicians still create new notation and packages for it. Most of the commands in MathJax aren't part of TeX, but LaTeX or even some popular package (amsmath, etc.). Some things are implemented in more then one packages, and those different implementation have differences (for example, in Russian books integral sign is different than one in American).

If we implement a subset of TeX in a browser, there are two options:
1. If we only include the most used commands, such technology will be useless for professional mathematicians and probably be obsolete in future (when some new useful notation appears).
2. On the other hand, if we keep adding new commands for every type of mathematical notation, then we will need longer names for commands (or maybe namespaces) and notation will not be readable anymore. Not to mention that browsers maintainers will need a lot of work to implement all that (How long will that take?)

Also, if we implement only a subset of TeX, users will not be able to easily (or anyhow) create new notation. On the other hand, MathML is very flexible in that regard and allows users to be creative.

And, contrary to some other comments in this discussion, I don't think that code for mathematical notation must be human readable before all. Whatever approach you take (tex, XML, S-expressions), you will quickly find some examples that are horrendous for coding (integral inequalties, steps in PDE solution, commutative diagram, proof tree...)
right, this tech is primarily about fingerprinting existing child porn, hashing that, and trying to prevent dissemination and what they might call "ininiation" into trading child porn for the casuals.

like most privacy invasions these days, its casting a widenet to put a dent in a problem that sill inevitable just route around it, and soon enough itll just be turned into a copyright cashgrab
Yeah, I think WebAuthn is fairly seamless. Ordinary users do not have to worry about certificates or anything. They just log in with their face, fingerprint, or a computer-local PIN.

I think what prevents wider adoption of WebAuthn is the fear that users are going to lose their phone and not have a backup authenticator. But, people probably lose their phone less often than they forget passwords, so I doubt it changes the support burden much.
Looks like the right hardware. I wonder if it’s easy enough to change the software though. I don’t want existing art, I want generated art, new for me :)
Synching will also do the trick, with more configuration involved perhaps.
> If I normally spend $2k a month, but then lose my job and get $2k from the government, that's not going to cause inflation.

That $2k a month that you used to earn is still out there somewhere unaccounted for.
> It's unfortunate that Commodore shipped BASIC 2.0 on the 64.

It might also have contributed to the success of C64 by "encouraging" early use of machine language. BASIC is great, but to truly make C64 shine you do need assembly language.

Notably, it was also pretty trivial to expand BASIC capabilities. A lot of utilities did just that, like adding graphics commands and sprite extensions. Simons' BASIC is probably the most comprehensive example, and it also came as a cartridge.

If a software producer sells or distribues their program outside of the Apple app store then Apple can't stop them, but they could kick them out of the app store. I can't see why they would do that though, as it would be a loose loose situation. As long as it's a separate platform my guess is that they will ignore it?
Big Sur already supports iPad apps on M1 natively, out of the box.

They actually made 100M in a single quarter recently, and not a year. Source: https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/reddit-raises-410-million-in...

So let's say their annual revenue is 3-4x since ad spend is usually weighted heavily towards Q4. At 300-400M per year and growing that's actually pretty solid.
While I do think there is one reality, our ability to get to what is true is always limited by time, information overload etc.

I think what people react against is the hubris of claiming an intimate knowledge of reality and acting as if it can be successfully contained in abstractions of language.
> Scientists know surprisingly little about how much energy we burn throughout our lives. That’s because such data require so-called doubly labeled water studies, an expensive test in which people drink “heavy” water with unusual versions of hydrogen and oxygen that can be chemically traced. Scientists measure the amount of these “isotopes” excreted in urine, blood, or saliva over 24 hours for 1 week or more to calculate how much energy individuals use on average in a day.

I remember an article a while back on HN or Reddit about drinking heavy water. Interesting it’s a way to measure energy consumption.
You’re mostly right, however there does seem to be some sense in using hospitals move towards full capacity as a trigger to require masks, lockdown, etc.
More like a competitor with the state, since neither have a monopoly on violence at that point.
Yeah but I remember there was a hack to get the IPA's to run on M1 and then Apple shut that down somehow.
The CPI includes propane and food. Uber / Lyft prices used to be artificially cheap due to VC subsidies but most regular people barely use those services anyway.

You sure picked the wrong quotes to make your point didn't you? It's like you're arguing with yourself
I disagree, strongly. Let's say you're authoritarian government EvilGov. Before this announcement, if you went to Apple and said "we want you to push this spyware to your iPhones", Apple would and could have easily pushed back both in the court of public opinion and the court of law.

Now though, Apple is already saying "We'll take this database of illegal image hashes provided by the government and use it to scan your phone." It's now quite trivial for a government to say "We don't have a special database of just CSAM, and a different database of just Winnie the Pooh memes. We just have one big DB of 'illegal images', and that's what we want you to use to scan the phones."
What do you think of languages that use sum types for error handling, but can still unwind in a few scenarios?

Reasonnable compromise, or should we get rid of all unwinding always? And if so, do we abort() or do we ask users to handle any and all possible errors.

Because we know that the US justice system is horribly corrupt and inept and don't care if they get it right, as long as they get a win.

Because a case like this, you'll be paying a lot of bail just for the privilege of defending yourself properly. (Might have to sell/mortgage your house, or your mother's house).

Because you will probably make the news, and the false accusation will be on the internet forever.

Because you will probably get the living shit beat out of you by the arresting police.

Because you will probably get the living shit beat out of you by your fellow inmates.

Because the incompetent people who charged you can't be sued due to qualified immunity, so no skin off their back.

Because your family will have a lot of stress on it and this will affect your spouse, children, siblings and parents in a very negative way, probably for the rest of their lives.

Because you've lost your job in the process.

Because you'll probably never get a decent job again.

Because you'll probably need a lot of psychological counseling assuming you survive this process.

> now here we are.

And we're right back to the secret inflation theory that your parent referenced. The main point of contention regarding the current numbers is that it's too early to know where we are, that is, to know whether the inflation we've seen this year is transient.

There was a steady stream of inflation scaremongering throughout the Obama years which never made economic sense, and of course never came to fruition. I heard the same arguments about it then: "inflation is here, it's just complex and the government is hiding it".

Of course you could be right this time, but it also shouldn't surprise you that an attempt to support this prediction by rehashing the old secret inflation theory attracts a few eye-rolls.
> But children also burn out fast.

This is well known in emergency medicine. Not only do kids burn out quick, they also burn out completely because they, unlike adults, don't keep a reserve. This applies to homeostasis, too.

Consequently: young trauma victims that "look OK" need to be very closely attended to, because what you might be seeing is a kid burning the very last of their energy reserves just to maintain homeostasis, and they will NOT degrade gracefully once they're out of energy -- they'll just go right into the deep end of shock. Happy and talking to unconscious in 90 seconds is nothing you want to see.
First this and then it'll be gradually expanded to offensive memes against official political narratives.

If the person learning just wants to write some HTML in a file and put that on a server somewhere as the index.html file then maybe version control is overkill.

But, if this person's goal is about creating a web application then version control is a good skill to have. I remember the days when source code for a web application was something we could zip up and hand to a client. But, these days, more than likely you have a remote server somewhere and you need to SSH into it and from there you could SFTP the files but at that point why not just use git and it's branch management. Obviously, there are more arguments that can be made for learning git.

That's not how it works. If the defi contracts collapse, the borrowers get margin called. The borrowers must overcollateralize quite a bit, usually 1.5x or 2x what they are borrowing. You could argue that the sell order will fall through in the case of a total market collapse. But the market has fallen 90% in the past and this has not happened.
My question is neutral wrt whether the West is authoritarian. The West supposed to progress in terms of, as the saying goes, 'the rule of law', whereas it is in regression in the Orient.
If Reddit doesn't get this funding it will become insolvent it's valuation will be seen as the obvious BS it is, companies like Pinterest, Tiktok, Twitter, maybe even YouTube will collapse overnight. Reddit MUST show growth, even if it's just buying clicks and junking the stats, if it doesn't all our jobs go out the window.

But I'm pretty sure they will, the big thing now is to have a big e-commerce advertising component to "unknowingly" facilitate money laundering. Expect spam to explode and be repeatedly ghettoized, it already happening on their porn subs. Entirely fake traffic with bots talking to bots.
I think those get mixed when fixing the bug is a side effect of a bigger rework, but still needs some specific tweaking for edge cases.

Cleanly split the rework and the edge cases handling can become hard enough to not warrant separate commits.

I'm confused what the threat model is here. The signing key is available to the running system, so it doesn't protect against remote malware gaining persistence by compromising the boot process. And a physically present user can change the keys in UEFI or disable Secure Boot entirely, so it doesn't protect against evil maids either. So what does it protect against?
> I'll note as an ex-CoFounder/CTO

So what you're saying is, you'll note as someone who has benefitted from the current system.

> any of these companies create immense global value and could not possibly have gotten to where they are w/o the resources of a FAANG (think YouTube, WhatsApp)

Huh? Both of those were immensely valuable and successful before they were acquired by a FAANG. In fact, subjectively, the user experience on YouTube - which is, of course, the ACTUAL value of YouTube - has gone downhill since they were purchased. And WhatsApp was an extremely successful competitor to a Facebook product before Facebook purchased them.

> if you think otherwise, where are the competitors?

Stifled by the anti-competitive practices of the FAANGs?

I wonder if you might be a tad bit biased. Just a tad.

I think eligibility should be based on a minimum karma-within-subreddit (comments and submissions) threshold.

And yeah, this would cost Reddit some in admin labor, but they should be able to use some of this revenue stream towards those few hires. I'd imagine a team of 6 would be plenty for this purpose, maybe could get away with 2 or 3.
