So... I have heard it and went on a quick Google search to find some research about it [1].

> Human coronavirus-associated myocarditis is known, and a number of coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19)–related myocarditis cases have been reported. The pathophysiology of COVID-19–related myocarditis is thought to be a combination of direct viral injury and cardiac damage due to the host’s immune response. COVID-19 myocarditis diagnosis should be guided by insights from previous coronavirus and other myocarditis experience.

I think it depends entirely on where you are in Germany, like everywhere you have more tolerant places and more intolerant places. Curiously the places with the least foreigners are the most xenophobic ones and vice versa.
Depends on how you define successful.

Purely based on my experience, I believe much of what is described cannot exist in large (100±) organisations. Fundamentally, large organisations need decision making structures, and become more "command and control" in order to make those structures work.

Smaller organisations can more quickly assess problems/opportunities and collaborate on responses in a more inclusive way.

Back to how you define success. Profit? Hypergrowth? Investment? Shares? Salary? Staff churn? Mental health? Satisfaction?

I run small (4-20) person development teams, as a project/delivery manager or senior manager, and I always prioritise mental health, well being and support for every team member. I always get feedback that team members would like every manager to do the same, and that they are happier on my team.

I do this because having come from a system/development background myself, I've seen the negative effects that bad management has. My own mental health, that of others, and losing colleagues to suicide (not just because of work, but work had been a factor) led me to take a protective and idealistic stance towards supporting development teams and project members.

The flip side of taking this approach is the very difficult conversations and stress I have to deal with in dealing with clients, project sponsors or CxOs. That's my choice. Many of the roles that commission software development teams have no idea how to work with or manage them.
Although a bunch of really talented players will have a lot of fun playing together. Only when we monetize their talent do we start worrying about "progress".
COmpromised? The "retreating enemy" left behind actual weapons, cars and planes... and people... what do they have to be afraid of by using some surveillance equipment?
This 21st century trend in rebranding is just so disingenuous.

I wish companies would just focus on delivering a good product accompanied by good customer service and stop wasting time and money on rebranding.

Redis say: "We’re dropping “Labs” from our company name and branding, a reflection of who we are and what we deliver"

I don't know about anyone else but my "reflection of who Redis are and what they deliver" is based on substance, not style. For example, if Redis (the software) went to the dogs tomorrow and stopped functioning correctly, then I would not really care what the company calls itself, it wouldn't make me more forgiving of sloppy programming or poor customer service now they are called "Redis" not "Redis Labs".

Redis could be called Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch for all I care as long as the product and customer service was good.

Its like the other recent example, the the money transfer business Transferwise who changed their name to Wise. All a bit pointless. Even the change of name is a poor choice, at least "Transferwise" gave a good hint about what the company did ... what does "Wise" tell me ? I would rather they focus on the product and ways to improve it and maintain quality (which has been dropping recently) rather than pointless rebrands.

>If anyone is aware of an environment where meritocracy exists in this industry I’d love to know about it.

Did you know the term meritocracy was originally intended as a negative idea[1]. The value of modern work is so subjective that it's almost impossible to measure. It's probably best to jettison any idea that you will be promoted based on any sort of rational assessment.

Feudal cultures were far more limited and totalitarian in every possible way. Serfs literally weren't allowed to leave their villages without a good reason - like war. There was an intellectual monoculture with the Church using scare stories about the fate of the disobedient to terrify serfs into compliance.

There was no access to books or personal development. You worked the land, you paid your tithes, and if you were lucky you survived the numerous famines, illnesses, bandit raids, and larger military campaigns, and passed your rented land on to one of your sons.

The big difference between that kind of totalitarianism and the modern kind is the fact that the Church has been replaced a more diverse media. In fact there's less diversity than there appears to be. The liberal tradition means there's at least the possibility of independent thought, but it's less common than it might be.

In the West, non-compliance and failure-to-be-useful are enforced with brutal economic sanctions. But you can at least think about starting a business and having some nominal independence - which wasn't an option in feudal times.

But there's a proselytising corporate monoculture instead of a proselytising religious monoculture [1], and it's very hard for many to imagine that other systems may be possible - never mind better for them.

[1] In many parts of the US, you get both.
I did read your whole comment and I appreciate the time and thought and effort you put into it.

Even so, this isn’t the situation I’m describing or that exists in most of the industry. You’re describing an idealized version of a possible honest misunderstanding developing due to incomplete information filtering through the organization.

I don’t believe that accounts for a large percentage of the problem I’m describing. The situation you’re describing would be far more functional than many places I’ve worked. If most management were capable of introspection and analysis at the level you’re demonstrating, the problem I’m talking about would be significantly reduced. It seems you’ve worked in some unusually capable companies.
True, the sad reality of capitalist society is that fun doesn't pay bills.
In all fairness what you say was correct for a long time. But recently quality has slipped according to many. I wouldn't make any type of bold claim to quantify it though.

This may technically be true, but especially the patents that get exploited by trolls are usually very vague. And the system gives too much incentive to write patents as broadly as possible.

To be fair, some of the patents that listed in another comment here as part of the lawsuit are quite precise in their claims. Their claims cover the actual algorithms for integrating another loudspeaker into a secure WLAN and for ensuring exact playback. That's the kind of detail level that I would expect from a patent. As a result, if you solve the same problem using a sufficiently different set of steps, you're fine.

There's a difference between the spirit in which a law or regulation is written and how it is applied in practice over time. In case of patents, this gap has become quite large. I think that this is why so many here want see changes.
They're definitely reading way too much into it and should probably take a good, hard look at themselves.
If you don't want to be permanently tinkering, there's a whole range of e-bike conversion kits which work well.

I've got a Tongsheng TSDZ2. You remove the pedals and chainring and slot it in place, and your bike is electric. It's got built in torque sensors so pedalling is amplified - a very natural feeling. There's a range of similar motors made by a company called Bafang (BBS02, BBSHD) which generate more power and are more robust, but don't have torque sensing. For a bike in the EU, where you don't really want more than 250-300W anyway, the TSDZ2 is fine.

There's cheaper kits which use hub motors. Often you get the wheel pre-built so you just remove your existing wheel and insert the one with the motor.

The bike conversion kit is fairly straightforward if you're mechanically minded / have done any bike maintenance before. Sourcing a battery is actually the hard part - good batteries are expensive, and shipping from China is complicated. Once you have the battery it mounts where a water bottle would go. Mounting the kit and wiring everything up took an afternoon.

All in, the equipment cost me around £500. I already had the bike.

1 - you should prove why you think that this problem is just like the other deep learning problems

2 - it's not true that "no-one else solved" this problem. If we define this problem as: have a self-driving vehicle which safely navigates its environment and does not endanger its passengers or the people outside. See the Waymo whitepapers: waymo.com/safety/performance-data

Ultimately, even if we agree that what Tesla is working on is orders of magnitude better than what's currently available from them, that might not cut it:

Let's assume that the current obstacle detection is 99% accurate... if the newer versions/improved models are 99.9%, 99.99%, etc. accurate...

we'll still have a 0.1, 0.01, 0.001%, etc of chance of an obstacle not being recognized. Tesla cars are a small fraction of those on the road, and there've been several deaths already. If million of Teslas will be sold, those small percentages will still mean a significant number of accidents and deaths caused by Tesla.
If instead a Lidar reliably detects all obstacles, well in advance of the vehicle approaching it (and the car will stop/disable self driving if the Lidar becomes unoperable, e.g. due to bad weather)... it would be irresponsible to persuade huge swaths of the population to let a machine drive the vehicle, without providing the extra safety that a Lidar enables.
The New Replica
Digital Twin – A 3D virtual recreation of Hobart
I get up at 5-5:30AM, every day, and walk two miles. I put some effort into the walk. My usual speed is 16 minutes a mile. It used to be less than 15, but I’ve slowed a bit, as I’ve gotten older. Nothing spectacular, but it gets my heart rate up, and I usually break a bit of a sweat.

I wouldn’t call myself a “great thinker,” but I find it useful to do these daily walks.

The walk helps me to clear my mind, and organize the day’s tasks. I generally code every day, so I often use the time to work out a tactical plan for the day’s work. Sometimes, I work out a strategy for a longer term, but it’s usually just a daily plan. I often come up with big pivots, or solve pernicious bugs, during my walk. I work in a very dynamic fashion, with frequent direction changes, during a given project, and tend to be ambitious, in my goals, so I always have problems to solve.

I frequently fix big bugs, right after getting home from a walk. I’ll walk up to the desk, log in, fire up Xcode, and apply the fix. After that, I’ll hit the shower. A standing desk helps a lot, here. Sometimes, I’m at the computer for an hour, before I take my shower.

Yeah, I can be a bit obsessive…

I tried running, a few years ago, but I tended to injure myself, which would result in gaps of up to a month at a go; so walking, it is.

The last couple of days, I’ve had to stay in, because it’s been raining buckets in the morning. I also sometimes need to have breaks in the winter, because snow makes the route downright dangerous.

Otherwise, it’s two miles, at 5:15-6AM, every day. Takes just about a half hour. I don headphones, and play rather mindless techno music (it’s usually the only time during the day, when I listen to music. I don’t listen while working). I also wear what I call my “clown suit,” or bright, reflective clothing, as it tends to be dark, and people drive like crap, in the morning. I suspect a lot of texting and emailing, while driving. Stop signs and lane markers are really just “suggestions.”

I also think personal Discipline is critical to my work and lifestyle. I find that these walks help to reinforce that. I’ve been doing it for years, and have never really come to enjoy them. I feel that it’s good for me to do at least two things, every day, that I don’t want to do. I usually have that covered before 7.
How? If I explicitly push the red button on my mobile phone, how does the line still stay open?

I can understand this attack via land line, but who seriously has a land line in 2021? Even my 93 year old grandma has a mobile phone. (Albeit we did get her one that looks like a land line phone :D )
US so far hasn't pushed into law any policy instructing companies like Apple to publicly censor people

That depends on your definition. It sure looks like WikiLeaks was targeted by the US government. It also surely looks like the credit card monopolists are cracking down globally on sex sites because of changes in US law.

From where I stand, it looks like the US government is using corporate monopolies as a front to censor people.

> If I want to compose music, I need a format that makes it easy to visualize and manipulate notes in context of the other notes playing across all instruments. DAW piano rolls do a fantastic job of overlaying note information, and traditional combined scores do the same too. Again, text notation usually falls flat here

Text notation is keyboard entry friendly, and version control friendly. Systems that support it will often render it to something that is more convenient for viewing, often as you edit or on save (e.g., there are VSCode extensions that render scores from LilyPond and ABCNotation; for LilyPond, there’s also support for navigating into the source from the rendered score.)
FSNotes is already up to version 5, and fiercely independent, so things are looking good.
I don't know why you are downvoted - this is one of the tasks, where Go is just a better C. I do like the approach of this stack, having a slim stack with a staticly compiled web page. But switching to Go gives the developer much more safety and quicker development for the custom part.
C is great for developing components like sqlite - which are well tested and only slowly evolving. But the quick changing custom code in a web site, there Go shines.

Roundtrip tests are great when you don't have a gold standard. It allows for at least consistency across operations. I've done a bunch and found quite a few corner cases. I also did a few roundtrip tests in RGB spaces where being exhaustive was no longer feasible. For those I ended up iterating over the whole RGB space but skipping values in each component by different prime values, to try and cover as many of the possible weird cases as possible:

> People can't be simply reduced down to a number and happiness isn't an 'x' that we can solve for in a mathematical calculation.

You can do it - although you can't calculate happiness completely, you can make models and reason about it in a mathematical/economic way. How much you believe the theory maps onto the real world is a valid criticism, however there are entire sections of the social sciences that attempt to do this to help inform policy and decisions (see: Happiness Economics - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happiness_economics).

In fact, the concept of a quality-adjusted life year (QALY) is a very common healthcare economics concept which is used in the UK (NICE) to decide how to allocate drug funding and direct policy.
Well to counter that, when comparing similar employees within my international company between the US and the EU, the US employees are about 1.5 times more expensive (this is the money that an FTE will cost a project). Not sure why that is, perhaps it is really an inequality issue and maybe the cleaners are cheaper in the same company in the US than in the EU? I don't know those details.

A friend of mine who is white also was checked by the police a lot (in Germany), simply because he had a certain jacket that was apparently associated with drug dealers or trouble makers (checks can include anal probes for hidden drugs, apparently).

So maybe dressing for the occasion could work. Sorry for your ordeal. You'd think police would know you after the umpteenth check.
Less population density means more transport, though, as the city is so spread out. More cars, more roads, more parking, more infrastructure generally.

Smaller, denser cities are more walkable and have more room for parks.

Small, single-family buildings are incredibly energy-inefficient. Large 5-story apartment blocks are way more efficient.

I moved from Perth, Australia to Berlin, Germany - the difference is astounding. Living in Perth without a car was painful. Living in Berlin without a car is normal. The hot water heating is communal, even in some areas provided for entire city blocks, while every house in Perth has its own reverse-cycle air conditioning setup. High density living is just more efficient per person.
If it happens once or twice a year, I still wouldn't be bothered by it. In fact, I'm such a procrastinator that I sometimes do it because of my own tendency to postpone things.

No. The reason people don't have anonymity is that people don't want anonymity (or, rather, want the benefits of non-anonymity).

It's easy to point fingers at large-scale evil-doers, but none of those exist in a vacuum, do they?

Do we perhaps want stricter laws to protect people's anonymity? Cause I thought we wanted less laws, in order to allow for greater freedom.

Ah, I got it, we want balance. But just a little tilted this way, if that's okay.

Hard to please.
There are other cases / studies that point to similar cognitive improvements through exercise.

There was a case study I read in the book linked below and it indicated that test scores improved dramatically when they had kids exercise before learning. It states that the improvements occurred regardless of physical ability as long as participants aimed to achieve their personal best during exercise.

I can't speak to the quality of the research but it is interesting and does not surprise me.

Actually, nope! SGD is embarrassingly parallel when it's HOGWILD! https://arxiv.org/abs/1106.5730. Formally, the hogwild and serial implementations are indistinguishable. This has a lot of citations but it's such an easy trick that no door path beating seems to have happened. The "trick" is just to make model updates atomic, and then each SGD step can happen in parallel without coordination or locks.
If parent post is correct, though, the "innovation" being protected is basically "we used to send signal over wire. Now that both endpoints have LAN, I'll send that signal over the LAN".

That, like many other software patents, is not "obvious is retrospect". It's not even "obvious idea at the time", it's less than that. It's just inertia. It's a decisionless decision.

It's patenting "not stepping in a puddle".
I guess I took the OS X 10.4 joke a bit too far huh?
So they went overboard with that feature. But I really doubt humans would do much better. I think if they encounter somebody with the name of a known serial killer, most people would at least pause.
Of course corner cases matter.

But as they are corner cases, you are very unlikely to just know them all from memory, so you would need to look them up anyways.
These requirements are met by FSNotes. Or does it lack in some way you've not mentioned?
Can you demonstrate that it actually works that way?

The models aren't political. That is true. But the models do not exist without humans generating them and interpreting them.

The idea that science is somehow apolitical is dangerous. It's no more true than the idea that journalism is apolitical.

You can try to take more of a metaperspective with both, but to assume politics doesn't enter into the endeavors is dishonest. In many ways the position that science is apolitical is itself political.

I guess (some) people don't recognize how much gas SUVs guzzle (your point 3). To be fair, gas mileage is a fairly opaque topic, but if anything is clear it is that going faster and having more drag is very bad for your mileage.

So going 200 km/h in your SUV (common sight on German Autobahns) is the worst thing you can do.
