Well put.

Personal story: moved into a EU country and tried to import my car tax-free as personal property. Went to a customs agency because apparently you don't talk to customs directly, you go through one of those. They had me collect all sorts of documents, which took me months before it became evident that this type of car cannot be imported tax-free in the first place.

The stress from expecting people to take their responsibilities seriously has cost me many meaningful interpersonal relationships, not to mention innumerable brain cells. On the other hand, the work to achieve more self-sufficiency is alienating in its own right, and, depending on starting conditions, can twist a person into an unlikable mess.

It's vicious cycles all the way down.
Because you don't pay for instruction, you pay for examination and certification.
Because not everyone is on the latest fashion.
> Using a low estimate of 15% of CS degrees going to women, you'd get 750 women applying.

High paying usually means senior, seniority is usually 5-10 years, so you would need 15% 10 years ago.
Yes, if you're inverted but the force vector points towards the plane floor, that means the plane is accelerating towards the ground (for example if it's flying a loop).

And if you just fly straight and upside down, of course the force vector will point to the roof, not the floor.

The problem was the plane making an unintended coordinated turn, which happens in the cloud. The nature of the turn is such that a human or a level can't detect it.
> Science is not the pursuit of "truth".
"If it's truth you're looking for, Dr. Tyree's philosophy class is right down the hall." - Prof. Indiana Jones

Quite funny because Indiana Jones is an archaeologist.

And supposedly teaches history, which often is a form of social science.

One of these few sciences where it is commonly admitted that most evidence is tainted by biased as well as both personal and limited groups' interests.

Even taking aside the fact that it’s a fictional character invented by some people more interested in telling fun stories than anything else,
using this as a call to authority to support a view on any science is quite hilarious.

Your view on science also reminds me of how, in med school, a professor once told us "medicine is not a science; it’s an art".

Which, to me, has since been a good way to know which health professionals to stay clear of.
Even just 24 hours would do a lot to disrupt the echo chamber.
My impression is that there are rapidly rising and then diminishing returns on investment.

Going from cloth to any mask with a high filtration layer is a huge improvement. Cloth is <30% of small particles. High filtration layer is >90%. Beyond that, the benefits are questionable.

Some surgical masks include a non-woven layer, and those already do pretty well (but how would you find those? pre-COVID it was easy). From there, genuine (non-counterfeit) KN95 and nanofiber masks are a big step up, and incredibly effective. At least pre-delta, if everyone used those, combined with modest social distancing, there was very little spread.

N95 masks are a modest improvement from there in terms of filtration, but by that point, mask quality (at least pre-delta) no longer appeared to be the dominant risk factor. COVID19 can spread through other mucous membranes (e.g. eyes). While combined with a face shield, used correctly, etc. I'm sure N95 make a difference over KN95, in practical public health use, I doubt there's any difference.

This is a good summary of data:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1M0mdNLpTWEGcluK6hh5L...

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1i06OAItoOwIUaMjElr8m...

I don't really distinguish between things with >90% filtration. Unless you've got an excellent seal and are otherwise protected, it doesn't matter much. Note that the measurements are performed at 300nm. There isn't much spread at 300nm (a single virus particle is unlikely to make you sick). A 90% mask at 300nm will have >>>90% at e.g. a micron. A micron particle is unlikely to have more than one or two COVID particles (a micron is 5 COVIDs wide).

I do distinguish based on pressure drop. Lower means more air goes through the mask, rather than around.

I also do distinguish based on technology. The nanofiber ones don't degrade the same way as N95. The N95 nonblown layer will theoretically beat nanofiber for the first couple of hours of use, but once it's moist from your breath, nanofiber beats it. Personally, I use a disposable nanofiber mask, and I consider it a better (e.g. safer) option. I'm not in a controlled cleanroom/hospital setting, and life happens. Masks do get reused, abused, rained on, and generally exposed to life. Nanofiber have much better durability.

I also supply chain. Amazon and eBay are rife with counterfeits. I like masks where I can order direct. Especially 3M tends to be mostly fakes, unless ordered through authorized distributors.

I distinguish on fit. In addition, a well-fitting 90% masks beats a poor-fitting 99% mask, since with a good fit, all the air goes through the mask. Order yourself a variety pack and see what's comfortable and fits.

The biggest thing you can do is limit yourself to settings where everyone uses reasonable precautions. All parties wearing KN95 masks, having reasonable social distancing, favoring outdoors, vaccinated if >12, etc. is pretty safe. If you have a mixture of extreme precautions and no precautions, everyone is at risk.
This is absolutely not the case in Switzerland where ProtonMail is located. The government doesn't have a say in what questions are voted for. Any proposal that gathers 100k signatures is put to a nation-wide referendum. About a dozen proposals are voted for each year. It is absolutely possible to run a public initiative to change the privacy or criminal laws, provided you have support in the population.
Definitely needs optimising for user experience indeed!

However the serving of this JS has nearly no cost to us (as they are cached at the edge by DDoS-Guard and the frontend is otherwise entirely static on our end)
I don't know. I think living in a society where most people don't do any meaningful work and are exposed to just theoretical academic style education till they are 24-25 isn't good either. I don't think it's a good use of anyone's time to sit in a chair and look at the whiteboard for 15-16 best years of your life.
The problem with ProtonMail is that they are convincing people that email can be secure. It could be between ProtonMail addresses, but not with the email protocol and OpenPGP. It would take a lot more work.

Signal on the other hand, it's not perfect and their protocol can't handle larger groups, but they worked hard on it and it shows.

That being said Messaging Layer Security (MLS) is going to be the next big thing for secure messaging, and it's sponsored by companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter, so it's not black and white when it comes to privacy. Apple and Google for example uses differential privacy in iOS and Chrome. We can probably thank GDPR for it, and Facebook for screwing the pooch so spectacularly.

Apparently so, if you read the comments below.

Having never played online poker in my life and since trading bots are a thing, it makes me wonder how many people are running automatized poker bots for a side income if those are so superior to human players.
Chomsky's basic argument is that we can build a society where social success doesn't depend on IQ. Or as he puts it:

"If... society can be organized more or less in accordance with the "socialist dictum," then nothing is left of Herrnstein's argument"

So, if you think socialism works, then yeah, you'll find this very persuasive. From my POV, though, it's a deluded fantasy which 100 years of disastrous policy catastrophes have disproved.

Thank you :).

When I said that 'you sadly aren't commenting much anymore' I meant that in a selfish sense - it's sad to me, because I enjoyed your comments over the years. I've guessed you must be spending your time on more interesting and rewarding things.

Take care, and see you around!
Both can be true. The number you really need is what percentage of black people with a CS degree end up actually getting a job offer.

And highly publicized diversity efforts by tech giants does not necessarily reflect what the average company in Ohio is doing. The news is not the data, so yeah, you really do need more evidence than "it's what I heard".
I've not had much friction using either, they are "close enough" that the time to (re)write a query from one to the other is not very significant.
The same thing happened the next state over. At least this time, the electrician allowed me to explain it, and then did the low voltage wiring correctly.

These are decades apart in time, too.

In order to decide that two sets have the same number of elements (for this relationship various names have been used, e.g. equipotence, equipollence, equinumerosity), you do not need numbers or being able to count.

You just need to be able to show an one-to-one correspondence between the elements of the two sets. If an one-to-one correspondence cannot exist, then the sets have different numbers of elements.

This relationship divides then the sets in equivalence classes. If you choose a representative of each equivalence class that you use to compare to other sets to see if they have the same number of elements and you give a name to each of those representatives, you have defined the so-called natural numbers.

This is actually how the numbers originated, for humans and for many other animals.

Nobody conceived a system of axioms and then thought about what could satisfy them. That came much later and is useful only for establishing which are the essential properties of some mathematical objects. Most of the definitions of various mathematical objects as equivalence classes correspond to their real historical origin, because recognizing that some things are equivalent according to some criterion is how abstract concepts are created based on concrete things.

When you see a red apple and a red rose, you understand that they have a common property, being red, and then you name this property "red" and you can recognize the same property in other objects.

When you see 5 sheep and 5 crows, you understand that these groups have a common property, having 5 members, and the same property characterizes the set of fingers of your hand. You name this property "five" and when you see another group of things you can compare it with the set of fingers of your hand to see if it also has 5 members.
One interesting aspect is that the number of servers is much higher than what would actually be needed to run the site, most servers run at something like 10% CPU or lower. Most of the duplication is for redundancy. As far as I remember they could run SO and the entire network on two web servers and one DB server (and I assume 1 each of the other ones as well).

If someone says SO runs on a couple servers this might be about the number actually necessary to run it with full traffic, not the number of servers they use in production. This is a more useful comparison if the question is only about performance, but not that useful if you're comparing operating the entire thing.
No to mention their constant phoning home to overseas IPs.

This reminds me of a passage from Bryan Caplan's book, "The Case Against Education." Paraphrasing, there is nothing stopping you from walking into a lecture at Harvard or MIT or any other renowned center of learning. No one will ask you for identification or lock you outside. You can buy or download the same textbook and fill out the same homework. (In the case of your "socialization" value, again, no one is stopping you from just walking into a campus and socializing with peers there)

No one does it because we intuitively understand that there is no real value in doing so; the purpose such institutions serve is credentialing, not education.

(End paraphrase)

Another thing. For each page that's being loaded there's a report being sent. Instead this could be aggregated (e.g. once a second) and then processed as a batch on the server side which should be faster.

And if your JS assets are hashed then you can add cache-control: immutable so that a browser doesn't have to reload them when the user F5s.

Big data, as covid has shown, all over the world, is full of errors and fudging as it moves up the food chain from village to town to city to state to national levels. People at the top of the food chains look like complete fools, as they get trapped having to make decisions based on pure garbage data.

The only way to combat that is a large army of trained dirt diggers at the bottom of the food chain.

Not exactly. I read the original claim that they are "incapable to learn algebra even in very good/way above average (but still realistic) circumstances".

Conservative black, sorry. You failed the guessing game and proved my point that skin color correlates with opinion about as poorly as maths ability does (i.e. not meaningfully).

MLK preached judging by Character instead of Color, which is referred to as color blindness.

Also, the moderates of his era were moderate relative to the political landscape of their era. This is not a universal indictment, but a very culturally situated and contextually dependent statement, unlike the universal and timeless principle of color blindness.
Yeah and Christians don't follow the word of Christ and live like there is no future after they are dead. Watch what people do, don't listen to what they say.
> Using a low estimate of 15% of CS degrees going to women, you'd get 750 women applying.

There were three in my cohort of ~35; and that was much more dense on that programme that was a (more CS-oriented) subset of the EE department's variants - something like 15 of 400 in first year, higher ratio (i.e. fewer female drop-outs/more doing MEng) by the end I think though. Only a few years ago.

And even then, your conclusion is only valid for a graduate entry role - for something more senior you'd need to at least look at grad rates further back, if not what happens to people once in industry. (We've also assumed 100% grads - or even male/female anyway - do apply to industry at all, vs. not, or something else, or staying in academia, etc. I expect that's roughly true though.)
The topic of the article, and therefore of my comment, is progressive takes on the issue. If you aren't a progressive, you don't agree with any of those. That's fine but trivial, it doesn't need pointing out. My point is that within the range of progressive arguments, Chomsky's is definitive because it doesn't involve the intellectual contortions that other progressive positions are increasingly depending on.
The flip side is that by doing so they increase the amount of money in the market, decreasing it's value. So anyone holding that currency is less rich. In net effect it is spending money by reducing the value of that money.
> Would COVID being airborne mean that one should wear an N95 mask rather than just surgical masks?

Yes.

>Studies that have been done show that if an individual might get infected within 15 minutes in a room, by time and concentration of the virus in the room, add a face cloth covering you only get about five more minutes of protection.

On the other hand if you use the n95 respirators and fit them tight to your face, you can actually spend 25 hours in that same room and still be protected.

Same for Amiga, games could (and most probably did) use scan line hardware interrupts to change colors, sprites, even screen modes as scan line progressed. Faster CPU or blitter wouldn't mess up anything for most games which properly used available hw resources. Of course, you can always make code dependent on CPU timing, but it was not necessary on these machines.

Raising long term rates = central banks reducing their long term debt purchases - they are one of the primary buyers right now, keeping those rates artificially low compared to what free market rates would be. If central banks stopped buying medium/long term debt now, those rates would spike and the economy would choke. They can't do it.

Central banks have a couple of primary mandates - (consumer) price stability ie. keeping inflation in check, and sustainable growth / employment.

As long as the economy is weak and the official CPI figures don't show sustained inflation, they will keep printing (buying debt), in order to protect growth, employment and financial stability. We are getting to the limits of how much you can print without affecting inflation.

They are unable to let longer term rates rise (by stopping or tapering debt purchaces) because the it will negatively impact the fragile economy - unless there is clear indication of sustained inflation, in which case they are mandated to act. This would also be very bad for the economy (inflation/rate rises plus economy stagnating).

The only way out of this mess is for central banks to reduce buying debt very, very slowly and hope the economy doesn't choke and grows out of this. There is no other way.
Throwaway for obvious reasons.

> If the CCP wanted to give themselves the worst look possible, they succeeded.

Unless it's just wishful thinking.

And unless they know this perfectly. There is always a Chinese idiom for everything. For this one it's "欲盖弥彰": the more people trying to cover something, the more obvious it becomes.

CCP pursuits pragmatism. If they succeeded they succeeded, if it turns ugly they'll make it up by other propaganda. After all they want is most people in China support them, and a portion of foreigner support them. They won't be bothered by one or two scandals. I believe what they realized is if they are doing it they need to do it non-stop: "一不做二不休".

To be terribly honest, their doctrine is very effective so far. If not the Communist China was already collapsed in early 90s just like every other Eastern European countries, or like many Arab countries in Arab Spring.

Ironically, the existence of the powerful China people can see today is largely because the way they handle these things.
Technically correct, but did you see the regex he uses? It spans 82 lines...
> demanding that all firmware updates should be free

Now that's a bit dishonest. When you buy a camera you invest in the system. Spending 1k euros on the body alone and and the same on various lenses and then getting shafted on one or two film simulations that won't be added to your camera because it's now old after 1 or 2 years, it leaves a sour taste. Esp. since mobile phones and other electronics get software updates regularly.

> Personally, I apply film simulation modes to a picture on my computer in post to the RAW file,

Great for you, but then one appeal of the Fuji system is the SOOC quality and experience. But if they don't care about that, it's making me loose interest.
I thought it'd introduce a concept of 'intermediates' and define an algebra on those.
