>More often than not, when stakeholders require "causality" to make a decision, it takes way too long so they lose patience and end up making a decision without any data at all.

And therein, I believe, lies the problem.

I think the issue is the pressure for science to produce something constantly so in today's world, correlation is causality. Whether or not you believe in deterministic laws that govern reality, correlation is often the easiest approach when looking at a difficult problem and there in lies the rise of much of probabilistic and statistical models in the face of difficulty. Not all cases, but a lot of cases. We don't want to continue trying the hard work of determining definitive casual relations, if they exist and are content with correlative relations.

As someone who grew up fascinated by science because it was science that sought and provided causal relations, I'm often disappointed about the current world of research. I'm not saying this work is easy by any means, it just seems like we often give up anymore after we pick up the low hanging fruit.
Thank you for your diligence, we'll be pushing an update to git later this week removing this harmful language.

You can still report this to the various agencies and offices in the US that hear cases like yours and have the power to investigate and prosecute Apple for antitrust violations.

Interestingly Spotify is playing relatively nice with the US in general, e.g:
https://themusicnetwork.com/spotify-expands-us-operations-ad...

They also rely on GCP, and have a strong dependance on Apple and Google’s gardens, so their growing success is also tied to US firms.

Nokia is also in very good terms with the US gov: https://www.nokia.com/networks/us-federal-defense/
That’s the thing—I’d consider a limited version of a one-time $5 app, and very likely pay $30—once—to remove the limitations if I found the app useful. But when I see an app demanding subscriptions, I wouldn’t even try the free version. I’d never consider anything that didn’t offer a one-time payment.

I live next to the river, it's open here. But honestly it's just brown water and I have never seen a fish in there for 20 years. I still see pipes coming from houses into that river, so I wouldn't be surprised if some households their toilet water still flushes to it :P

The point is simply there’s a method to the madness. It’s not randomly inaccurate. Many operations are perfectly accurate. Those that aren’t are just the closest representable value to the accurate value.

Doing something like what you initially suggested would break that.
Lesser. They do say that vaccinated individuals clear the infection more quickly, and indeed cellular immunity takes some time to kick in. From that a good guess is that long covid risk is lower.

Also, remember that selection bias still exists. There are going to be individuals with replication but lower viral loads that never get tested because they have no symptoms, and there will likely be a higher proportion of those in the vaccinated group.
We’ve long spent resources on increasing attention and popularity; might this expense be similarly justified? Having a meme generator at one’s fingertips seems a timely way to increase standing in the online culture participated in.

I can only tell you that there are many more studies indicating masks work than studies showing their effectiveness is inconclusive. And again, even if masks are 100% effective, there are so many people not wearing them even in jurisdictions that have mandates that there is a limit to their overall impact. Whether masks work is one thing, whether mask mandates work is an entirely different question.

I don't know if I've just gotten lucky - I have only ever worked at smaller companies I guess - but I've never really dealt with a blurring of time boundaries by my employer. I think at each of my four jobs there was exactly one time I had to deal with an emergency in off-hours. One of those jobs was even toxic in other ways, but invasion of personal time was not one of them.

Is it really that common? Does it mainly happen at global corps that run essential internet infrastructure?
I wouldn't have personally said it -- saying he's looking to martyr himself could be read as insulting his judgment, as perhaps it was -- but I read it as a joke too.
I didn't read it that way, I think a common interpretation would be that he implied the maintainer was probably a martyr or was likely looking to become one, which even if it was partially joking would be taken as threatening to me.

I think a lighter interpretation like "We won't ban you unless you want us to" has a different context that usually doesn't follow a question about your service in particular banned, nor does it imply someone might have a specific "quest" to be banned - especially as a random person who also has had grievances with low communication to the point of making a competing API discord.
Glasgow sounds like they are doing great by those numbers compared to at least my city.

In my city subReddit I advocated for something that sounds similar; yes housing even for addicts who will shoot up in their new place. Got downvoted. Also people bitter that rent is unaffordable for them too and said no one is entitled to free or reduced rent, since they don't get that themselves. though kind of my point housing should be a human right produced by society to everyone without judgement.

I think there is a misguided paternalistic moral-crusading factor in the states that holds back things like housing first, harm reduction strategies & treatment.
Knowing none of the background, that post was a wild ride. I can 100% relate to his feelings of futility while working really hard to try to make something great.

Yes, because China is not in the development stage the US is now, but where it was decades ago and with huge setbacks from the 19th century and Mao era.

The finger pointing to that is a "I kicked the ladder after I've climbed" thing (or "do as I do now that I'm on top, don't do what I did to get on top, I don't want competition up here" kind of advice).
Believe it or not, I met a RE agent who told me back in the early 90s RE agents were leaving SF because business was so bad. It's hard to imagine, but at least an anecdote.

But so was San Jose. Apparently the "downtown" was boarded up in many places till the late 90s when it began emerging from a mini-Detroit like state. MacEnary was feverishly trying to resuscitate it, I don't think it was his effort so much as it was tech to the rescue, else it would have been an Albukerke.

Based purely on speculation and timing, this sort of stuff was probably brought up during gap analysis done by Microsoft when considering acquisition. Discord is not filled with the best and brightest engineers, but they've done a lot right.

Free markets unbounded by the government in every way cannot exist. That's because the state is necessary to the scale of markets. The closest approximation is states where winners in the market are winners in politics, and fascism historically approximated that quite well.

"Totalised military state" is a meaningless sentence, and Fascism existed before and after "every citizen was conscripted into the military". If you think that the defining feature of Fascism is militarism and conscription, you simply misunderstand what fascism is. There is much, much more to fascism than Nazi Germany within a 4 year time period. War is the logical tendency of Fascism, but it is not it's defining feature.

Yes, it's very important to modern politics. If you don't understand what fascism is in its essence, you miss that. I'd suggest a lecture of Ur Fascism if you want an idea of the essence of Fascism, though there are competing views that you could defend as well, none of which are resumed by militarism.
Yeah, it was the best model.
The percentage of normal users that know how to (and are willing to) setup self-hosted instances of something is definitely far below 1%, as unfortunate as it may be. Discord is definitely here to stay (and IMO will continue to do extremely well this decade - network effects are an amazingly strong force) as far as I can tell. Although I do think it's good news that they have a decent profit model, the future of the platform still may not be as bright as most of its users (who do not understand the business nor the data collected on them) may hope for.
You cant exercise away a bad diet and too many carbs. You can eat 500 calories incredibly fast compared to how much exercise you need.

Just don’t eat. One meal a day or OMAD. It isn’t that hard. Anytime I find myself getting a little chunky I do this and it works. Your body doesn’t need to eat 3 times per day. I always fast until 12 pm.

Not at all, he just sounds incredibly rude and full of it. Is this Discord policy? Because enterprise doesn't care for attitude.
I've lived here for over 5 years and can absolutely confirm there are a few parts of the city that are dirty and have the feces/needles that people who honestly can't afford to live here love to talk about when they're denigrating the city. As you've noted, there are lots of neighborhoods, MOST of the city, that are very clean, safe, and obviously very desirable to live in.

By this point in time, China's leaders have a very good idea, with high certainty, of where the virus originated.

My guess is that where ever it originated they feel that it would be an embarrassment to them to say so they push the Wuhan market theory as the cause but they give no facts to back it up.

Given that there's a very low likely hood that it was a deliberate bio weapon then I would have to say that the virus most likely escaped from the Wuhan lab. It's an embarrassment but bottomline it was a mistake. I doubt we'll have a true answer anytime soon but maybe in a couple of decades someone will decide to divulge the truth. Let's hope.

You can use oathtool if you'd like to "do it yourself". I usually just keep (encrypted with Pass) my secret keys for Authenticators, and execute a one line alias:

oathtool -b --totp `pass show <X>`

This way, you can have a backup in case your phone gets lost, and easily port between phones.
I worked 17 years at Google on lots of different things and with one exception* never let work stuff interrupt my life when I wasn't at work. I certainly kept odd hours at times and would do things like stay late some days if I had broken something that I thought I could fix before leaving, but once I was done with work I was done.

* The one exception was when I was on a team where we had a rotating pager duty for our stuff in production, and I would periodically be on duty. As I recall we got paid extra for those time blocks.
I actually had many serious issues with Photoshop and Lightroom in Windows, random crashes, etc..., the only solution being to rollback drivers and once uninstall windows and not do an update.

GPU acceleration in WSL2 is useful for ML, but also accelerated video encode/decode, and some simulations I had to work on. It's also very useful for anything using a GUI, as all the major UI toolkits in Linux use native GPU acceleration.
You wrote that under the article that shows the long-term consequences of short-term profits you mentioned.

"Prior to joining Arm, Wu was the founder of AccelerateMobile in Silicon Valley, and held management, marketing, sales, and engineering positions at Mentor Graphics, LSI Logic, and Intel."

He definitely increased economic growth for a while, a very competent man. Now he captured a part of Arm for China and his experience (presumably) allows him to competently manage it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing him. He deserves praise - a patriot exploiting stupidity of foreigners for the benefit of his people.

China is never going to repeat these strategic blunders, which is what virtually guarantees a Chinese century - once they're top dog in something, good luck trying to learn anything near state of the art if you aren't Chinese. They have enough people for a complete blanket ban of foreigners for any position even near advanced knowledge or executive control.

Ironically, you shit on Elon Musk, yet SpaceX is the only entity that has the potential to prevent a total Chinese domination of yet another sector - space. It's somewhat protected by ITAR so there's a real chance.
He's written (a lot) about his views on the future of the US and China here [1]. In general, he views them as the rising world power and the US being in (at least relative) decline. He seems about as well informed as anyone, apparently he's been involved there for 36 years and has personal relationships with high-level officials (I believe he even sent his kid to live and go to school there for a while). He also has a section on cultural differences - he expects them to continue to develop but doesn't expect them to become like the US.

As for how other people should invest there, I have no idea.

Being on-call happens at scale because machines are not to be trusted, and the limits of our skulls meet their match when machines vastly outnumber people. When I worked at Amazon S3, we had rotations where people had physical pagers. On-call was a duty, and everyone shared a rotation.

Honestly, I thought it was an awesome responsibility that there I was at 2 AM and some stupid shit happened in dublin and I got to fix it. (Or at least try to fix it as my first on-call shift was rough)

I think Amazon is one of the few companies that get this right with their cultures because you can own efforts that people use. It's not going to be something discarded after a year unless a massive rewrite is planed. The massive rewrites can be super fun (but hard) as well because you have to do it in-flight.

The reason Amazon gets this right is that you can get a bit of the stake on the outcome, and this is awesome. For instance, I designed how Amazon S3 does URL rewrites on the website endpoint. It's a small feature, but I lead the effort from start to finish. For all practical purposes, that feature is most likely going to last until the end of time. However, its that relationship between myself as an engineer with the customer that makes it worth it (at least emotionally).
looks good. Would be nice to see a feature to share your image on our image sharing site https://picc.io

Yep. If Windows Update isn't destructive enough in how it decides it will reboot and install updates without the user's consent, Windows Update has also ended up bricking systems at times.

This read like a normal workplace to me. It exists somewhere in the space between poor management, not setting boundaries (because you're too worried someone will be disappointed), and all of that leading to abuse of the zero marginal cost of a salaried employee's time. Anyway, I mostly think the writer was just not standing up for himself.

It read like something in the military, but when there's no legal implications to telling someone his request is unreasonable... then I think it's self-inflicted.
