There are various philosophical and artistic movements for which art should not look like art. Others are about art being abstract, inaccessible and incomprehensible. Others yet are about use of archaic techniques to blend a modern eye with faux nostalgia (proto-hipsters, one could say).

There is not one kind of art.

Art does not need to be popular or broadly understood to be art.

You are not a majority anyway.

> We as an industry really REALLY need to figure out a better way of conducting interviews.

maybe i'm naive but, how about just ask the candidate to make a mini version of what they would actually do irl?

if your an app dev: make me an app that does x, you have 60 min

if your a rails dev: make me a site that does y, you have 2hrs

if your a pdm: make me a spec and tickets for a system that does z

maybe i'm missing something but it shouldn't be too hard should it?

> A retrospective analysis of 791 intubated patients with COVID-19 has found that, after adjustment for pertinent demographics and comorbidities, those treated with melatonin had a markedly lower risk for mortality (HR: 0.131, 95% CI: 0.076 to 0.223)—suggestive of a profound anti-inflammatory benefit.

> Moreover, recent epidemiology suggests that melatonin usage may reduce the risk for contracting COVID-19. A recent retrospective study, examining data from 26 799 subjects in a COVID-19 registry and using propensity score matching to account for a range of covariates, found that current supplementation with melatonin was associated with a significant 28% reduction in risk for serologically detectible COVID-19 infection. Among Black Americans, this reduction in risk was a remarkable 52% (OR=0.48, 95% CI 0.31 to 0.75).

> More generally, it might be feasible to define a simple nutraceutical regimen that could reduce the risk for COVID-19 and a range of other viral infections. There is growing evidence, both case–control and ecologic, that replete vitamin D status not only markedly improves the clinical course of COVID-19, but also is associated with decreased risk for clinically detectible infection.

> COVID-19 epidemiology also suggests that higher zinc status is associated with both a better clinical course in this disorder and lower risk for infection.42 43 Especially in the elderly, who are more prone to poor zinc status, zinc supplementation has been found to boost acquired, antigen-specific immunity, while also exerting an anti-inflammatory action; such supplementation of the elderly was associated with a marked decrease in total infections in a 12-month randomised controlled trial.

> Hence, it is not unreasonable to suggest that a supplementation programme incorporating vitamin D, zinc, melatonin and possibly additional nutraceuticals could reduce risk for and aid control of COVID-19 and a range of other viral infections.
When did I say I envy them? Or that those that may envy their purposeful lives would agree with their politics and beliefs they fight for. Only that I could imagine a person with feelings of no purpose could look at them and envy that particular attribute.
The exact mechanisms by which MMs monetize order flow is the strictly guarded secret sauce. But largely it’s because retail order flow is uninformed, versus institutional order flow (bank, hedge fund, etc) which might be “toxic”.

Here’s an example with ridiculously huge spreads but just to help illustrate the issue (in reality, the spreads are fractions of a cent): let’s say the market for AAPL shares is 150 vs 151. A retail trader market sells 100 shares. Absent a dark pool or other internalizer, they will end up hitting the 150 bid. A market maker knows there is a buyer for AAPL shares and expects the 151 offer to trade. The market maker (MM) pays 10c to Robinhood for the order, and buys the shares at 10c better @ 150.10. The MM has paid 150.20 effectively (151.10 + 0.10) when the next best buyer in the market was 150.00. Why would they pay a 20c premium? Because of the buyer I mentioned earlier that the MM believes will buy their shares. The MM turns around and offers these 100 shares for 150.90 (which is 10c better than the best current offer of 151.00) and a hedge fund immediately snaps those shares up.

So what’s the net outcome? In this case, the trader has gotten a better price, Robinhood has received revenue and can offer their service for free, the MM has made a 70c turn on the trade (150.90 - 150.20) and the hedge fund buyer got a 10c better price than was available to them in the first place.

Win, win, win, win.

(The real issue is that Robinhood forces market orders which make retail traders consumer of liquidity and makes all of this possible. But that’s a different issue and PFOF is not the bad guy.)

I'm suggesting that assaults and burglaries tend to be under-reported, and would be more 'marginalized' by under-policing. I think the reporting rate for rape and murder is much higher (and less variable) than those of burglary and assault.
Over the years I've used many, many tools intended to solve this problem. In the end, after much frustration, I just use existing tools, glued together in a un*x manner.

find * -type f -exec md5sum '{}' ';' \
| tee /tmp/index_file.txt \
| gawk '{print $1}' \
| sort | uniq -c \
| gawk '/^ *1 /{ print $2 } \
> /tmp/duplicates.txt

for m in $( cat /tmp/duplicates.txt )
do
grep $m /tmp/index_file.txt
echo ========
done \
| less

Tweak as necessary. I do have a comparison executable that only compares sizes and sub-portions to save time, but I generally find it's not worth it.

It takes less time to type this that than it does to remember what some random other tool is called, or how to use it. I also have saved a variant that identifies similar files, and another that identifies directory structures with lots of shared files, but those are (understandably) more complex (and fragile).
Yeah, I've actually seen this happen enough times that I believe it's more common than people think. I don't have statistics, but I've noticed multiple people die under mysterious circumstances (including a close friend) and they were usually ruled a suicide, even when the family objected.
Err.. no. It is generally considered unwise to consider boring sea tunnels along the boundaries of tectonic plates in the Ring of Fire especially considering the distance from Taipei to Naha is 641km, 30 times longer than the current record holding sea tunnel between the Hokkaido and the main land.

Also note Ireland-Britain has no tunnel.

>I'll mention that I'm aware of where China is with regards to labor practices, freedom-of-speech, and so on, but with regards to public health systems, China is way ahead of the US.

This is not true at all, I know because my wife is Chinese. Almost everyone is covered by health insurance in theory, but in practice this has limited use by most people because it only covers 50% of costs, and less than that for serious illnesses. Those on low incomes simply can't afford it anyway and there is nothing comparable to the level of cover under Medicaid or CHIPS, or Medicare for the elderly. Everyone under the public system has to pay up or not get treatment. Employer plans are better, but still very basic compared to typical US corporate plans. Waiting lists can also often put treatment out of practical reach unless you are willing to pay a lot of money to the right people.

It's also very scammy. They charge for everything they do, from painkillers, saline drips, blood tests, being hooked up to a blood oxymeter. On arrival they will set up all of that, the works, whether it's necessary or not so they can charge you for it. There is little to no regulation to prevent such abuses, and no practical way to get redress for malpractice.

On experimentation, communism and authoritarianism have been tried many, many times. There's nothing novel or experimental about it. We know it sucks. We know what Taliban style Islamic theocracies are like too, Afghanistan has been under one before remember?

> I can see getting a court system hooked with a long, free trial to do YoY comparison - for the first half dozen forming the core of the snowball.

Definitely. But I want to keep this particular product at essentially cost. There are other products (e.g. for attorneys) where the pricing model would be seen as fairly inelastic.

> How will you protect the personal information of defendants, both technically and by policy?

Policy: DUA; Technically: long answer but TLS, IP range whitelist (it's one server replicating per customer) and application-level logic. The PII is limited to party email & phone.

> What's your pricing model, and does it differ for a court vs. attorneys (I could see public defenders wanting to load up their portfolio into this service)?

For this, cost. And this service is for case parties, not really attorneys. That's a different (and huge) market that is deeply under-served. It's actually a huge pain point for most of them. One thing I would like to do right away, as this rolls out, is to expand this to an app that would be more robust and tailored specifically for attorneys, requiring bar verification to use.

> What's your plan to deal with the various data formats in each state/county system?

Pareto's Law. There are really only a handful of vendors, such as Tyler Technologies, covering most courts, which makes things easier. One of the four applications developed is a Configuration Manager which allows the court employee to manage this aspect with presets for major vendors.

> What happens if you miss a date and the defendant gets a warrant anyway?

Lots of clear legal language. This is an opt-in courtesy service. To opt-in requires acknowledgement of terms.
While I agree with you that theres a few like that, you have forgotten about the candidates that genuinely don't want to spend their spare time grinding leetcode.

I worked at facebook, when I started looking for a new job, I had to start grinding leetcode again to prepare for a new job. Take a step back and realise how ridiculous this is.

Big companies that have prestiege and pay alot of money use it to eliminate false positives, not to actually recognise true positives. If your at a big company that can afford to throw away many true postives, sure use leetcode, but the rest are hurting themselfs by blinding following the mantra of FANG.
I don't have a lot of time, but this was an interesting question. If you message me I'll dig up references. There are nuances and exceptions to almost everything I list below.

The radio spectrum is a scarce resource. Two of the main reasons amateur radio users are given access to the spectrum is to help with disaster recovery and to advance the art and science of radio.

Callsigns are public - you can look up anyone's to see who they are.

You're required to give your callsign at the end of your transmission, and every 10 minutes.

There are some limitations on content. No music, no profanity, no commercial uses, and no encryption.

netiquette varies based on what you are doing. In general, shorter range bands have better sound quality and are more casual. Longer range has worse sound quality (or no sound like morse or ft8).

If you're on one of the shorter range bands (e.g. 70cm) you'll often find people who are keeping in touch with friends, or just looking for someone to talk to.

On the longer range, you'll run into stuff like contests - all the other person wants to know is who you are, and where you are. They're trying to see either how many contacts they can make in a period of time or how far away they're able to make contacts.

There are "formal traffic" nets - which pass messages. Local nets will route traffic they can't deliver to regional nets, and then back down to local nets. Usually they just pass practice traffic around - until a disaster occurs and they are needed. More info https://www.arrl.org/nts-manual

The lowest level license is the Technician. You can find the Technician exam pool online in several formats. https://www.arrl.org/files/file/VEs/2018-2022%20Tech%20Class...

Edit: I forgot about you abuse question. Hams tend to police their own or will work with the FCC to report people misusing the airwaves. The practice version of this is called "fox hunting" - where someone places a transmitter and you try to find it.

Most hams care about keeping the hobby alive. If they find someone who's broadcasting with too much power or without a license usually they'll try to work with that person to correct the behavior. If that doesn't work, they'll often work with the FCC.
Subreddits going private to protest vaccine misinformation on the site
Yeah, like the cops have never gotten caught claiming someone accidentally fell on 43 bullets before. Or like there haven't been numerous cases of misattributing COVID deaths because they were inconvenient for the genocidal robber nihilists we have passing for a major political party. And that's just malfeasance, there's plenty of just plain error involved.

Having a deaths count -- which itself definitely has error bars, otherwise what the heck are missing persons estimates -- doesn't mean you have a correct attribution of those deaths. Never trust data in the absence of auditing how it got there.
I recommend volunteering at a local organization. An NGO, a food bank, a fire brigade, a police auxiliary reserve, etc.

Trying to fix the problems of people you don't know with technological solutions rarely works. Innovation doesn't come from brainstorming for ideas. It comes from spending hours being frustrated with some problem that affects your daily life and wondering how you could make that problem easier.
The only really interesting thing here that cameraphones have sort of pushed photography to use shorter focal lengths more often. Some photographers feel the shorter focal lengths feel "more authentic" somehow.

Other than that, this looks like someone with a smartphone trying a little too hard to "do photography" yet not bothering to travel to a nicer venue.
That's actually the edited version, the original one stated:

> ...which affords certain protections under US trademark law and has enabled elementary to prevent people from distributing other items under our brand name—but I absolutely do not want to go the legal threat route

Which is much more of an "it'd be a shame if something happened" kind of phrasing.
Ah you posted it before I updated. Yep that's the one.
I have posted it in the same subreddit and it received few replies, one of the redditors said that he remembered my original comment. Nothing happened. I did not contact other people becouse I had no proof.
Another aspect is that audio quality of GSM calls is just awful.

Especially when calling any business, it sounds like it's been converted between 8KHz PCM and 32kbps MP3 back and forth a dozen times, with a second-long lag. I can't understand what anyone is saying, they can't hear me, and the whole ordeal is mentally draining.
If you want something that scales horizontally (mostly), dcmp from https://github.com/hpc/mpifileutils is an option. It can chunk up files and do the comparison in parallel on multiple servers.

> Handling those stockpiles has been an afterthought to the NRC, the federal enforcer, said Allison Macfarlane, another former commission chair.

“It was not a big topic at the NRC, unfortunately,” Macfarlane said. “In the nuclear industry in general the backend of the nuclear cycle gets very little attention. So it just never rises to ‘oh this is a very important issue, we should be doing something.’”

Something like this damage reputation of nuclear energy industry considerably. I'd love to have nuclear plants helping combat the climate crisis, but problems with nuclear waste are so significant in practice that it has to be addressed.
Well, that's a "technically" while still missing the point. It is much more difficult to meaningfully shift murder rate numbers via mass mis-reporting, compared to other statistics.
Well, sure, because the insurance company's first question will be "is there a police report."
How would your team motivate that it should keep its headcount during a budget cut? Without deadlines they could just say "Since nothing you do is urgent we will cut your headcount in half, other teams needs it more".
you sure take your time to discredit Craig don’t you Greggles……

For those reading Greg Maxwell’s rant (founder of Blockstream/ hijacker of Bitcoin), just be careful using someone with obsessive compulsive harrassive behaviour as a trustworthy source, especially when there is financial bias involved.

Greg Maxwell has been harrassing Craig for years now, he is obsessed by Craig and BSV, and wants to see it fail for obvious reasons, if Craig turns out to be Satoshi (hint: he is……) and proves this in court (yes Craig is dying to prove it in court) it will highlight the massive consumer fraud, Blockstream is complicit in.

You may want to figure out why Greg is so obsessed about BSV, maybe just maybe…. BSV is the original Bitcoin design that allows nanotx and has been shown to be capable of handling large scale transactions, defeating any purpose for BTC and ETH, and literally 99% of the crypto space to exist.

Bitcoin does all, BTC does Jack!

This is not investment advise, this is about highlighting fraud (Bitcoin’s rules were set in stone…… by Satoshi, like monopoly most people tend to play by the rules.

Not Greggles though, he prefers to see a Bitcoin being played by his rules……..
From the "correlation is not causation" school of thought, I immediately had 3 thoughts:

1. The # of phone calls to the police about a crime are not necessarily indicative of how common that crime is. If people think the police won't do anything, they're less likely to bother calling (I see this often in my area with things like stolen bikes and catalytic converters... people often don't bother getting a police report unless their insurance requires it).

2. Throughout the 2010s the crime rate trended downward

3. Crime rates can have seasonal variations (but this can vary based upon location and type of crime)

Skimming through the paper, #1 wasn't addressed at all.

For #2, the paper compared the 2015 data against 2014. I don't think they did anything to compensate for annual trends in crime rate. In other words, if the crime rate in Des Moines, Iowa lowered at the same time, is that actually a ripple effect from NYPD's actions? Or are both cities just part of a larger downward trend that we saw coming out of the 2009 recession?

For #3, they actually took temperature and precipitation into account which was cool.
Yep, I learned this from The Wire!

Photography as art was slightly popular in the age when regular people had crappy cameras and had to learn how to create a picture. In the process people learned to appreciate good composition and artistic interpretation of true professionals.

With advancements in digital photography and recently computational exposure all of this is gone.
Over-saturation, Hyper contrast, HDRI corrections are the norm. People like things that are easy to understand and reproduce.

The next level of madness is GAS. There are thousands of "photographers" who are actually Technographers. Who are part of some "group" or brand tribe. And the taste of the tribe defines success.

The people who are learning composition, exposure or development are minority. And in this age of popularity contest photography is measured in likes, so there is no place for good photography in a classical sense.
People have phones with AI and everybody is an "artist'. So be it.

But some of us don't care. Some of us shoot film for experience and challenge. Some of us read Ansel Adams books and try to create meaningful work. Some of us know who is Bresson, Robert Capa, and countless other masters.

And this is not bad thing.

China thinks that video games (specifically, the online variety) are harmful enough to children that it needs to be regulated at a federal level and children's exposure to games should be restricted. But here's the thing: We on the west do exactly the same thing for things like cigarettes, alcohol and gambling. The motivations behind all those restrictions are even similar (largely related to children's health/well-being).

It's a big double standard to call their flavor of restrictions "authoritarian", while being ok with (or even strongly in favor of) our flavor of restrictions, even though the two are objectively similar in nature.

Since you mentioned the great firewall, I think it's interesting to bring up some perspective I've heard from various Mainland Chinese people: that many of them thinks western media brainwashes us (think the thing about Olympic photo coverage of Chinese medalists) and many condemn westerner take on social matters (the US' handling of Covid, for example, is seen as a "proof" that the our infatuation with freedom has severe failings). I've even heard someone once say that "American egos wouldn't be able handle Chinese opinion if the firewall was lifted, because it's a voice 1.4b people strong - intellectuals, trolls and everything in between - who disapprove of American ideologies".

To be clear: I'm not attempting to inflame, I'm merely bringing up what I heard from their side, for your edification. My advice is to be careful of using loaded terminology such as "authoritarian"; you don't own objective truth, and humility might go a long way in dispelling animosity from both sides.

Nitpick: 0-17 data conflates infant morality with children mortality. 30k of the 54k deaths are in the 0-1 age group.

Alternate: For 5-14 age group, there have been 131 covid 'involved' deaths out of 9,038 total deaths, and unclear what the co-morbidities were. No reason to get concerned, no reason to mandate vaccines / masks for kids.

C# vs. C++ Programming Languages Comparison when it comes to AR/VR Development
D-Day failed to achieve most of its operational objectives on day 1. However, this is mostly a case of "running behind schedule" rather than outright failure; three months later, the Falaise Pocket is closed and the Germans no longer had the ability to even contain the Allies to Normandy. Concomitant with the closure of the Falaise Pocket, the Allies landed on the Gold Coast of France (Operation Dragoon), and this forced the Germans out of the rest of the France.

However, for an amphibious assault, especially one against a prepared and well-fortified enemy, "not being pushed back into the sea" is by far the most important operational objective to succeed, and D-Day succeeded very much at that.
