The conversation wasn't about filtering out people you don't like, it was about filtering out anybody who shares anything personal. The real life equivalent would be stopping to talk to your uncle because he tells you he likes Italian food or went on a trip to Europe and you only keep speaking to people who talk to you about global warming or stuff that actually "matters". That how the person treats his friends online and the argument is if it is anti-social to do that on social networks.
You were unaware.
You have to be careful when talking about 'speed' when you make time a dimension in your geometry. Traditionally, speed is a measure of how much of your space-time curve is in along the time axis.

For any space-time path, you can consider the coordinate system as an observer traveling that path would see it, in which that observer would see itself traveling through time at a rate of one second per second. Geometrically, if you were to draw where on the path the observer's clock ticks, the distance between ticks as measured along that path is constant regardless of the path.

The speed of light limit says something different. It limits what paths a physical observer can take.

Condsider a 1+1 dimensional universe (or our 3+1 universe with a test particle moving along a single spatial dimension).

Pick a non accelerating observer to construct the 'stationary' coordinate system. Plot spatial coordinates along the horizontal axis, and the time coordinate as the vertical axis. Pick units such that the speed of light is 1.

A particle moving at a constant velocity will follow a straight line. If the line is vertical the particle is stationary. If the line is at an angle, the speed of the particle is the inverse of the slope of the line. The speed of light limitation says that this line cannot be shallower than 45 degrees.

In more analytic terms, the distance metric for our 2 dimensional spacetime is given by ds^2 = dt^2 - dx^2. The speed of light limitation says that ds^2 cannot be negative for any path a particle actually takes.

In other words all particles must must have at least half of their travel be along the time dimension.

That is the reason they gave publicly, not the reason they don't like the study.

The study used participants without a history of other drug use.

And having the effect appear with only 31 randomly sampled users means the effect is easy to detect. This is a normal number of participants for this sort of study.

You see this sort of motivated reaction to a study every time there is one that triggers a population.
You mean rappers who are likely faking their drug use as they often do with their use of firearms, expensive jewellery and cars.
Haha, I agree with you in general, but I still see that particular decision as fucking over customers.

I was still at Google when the design doc for that particular decision leaked and was not convinced by the reasoning. These are the kind of decisions that don't affect the wealthy fuck over the poor.

"Liberal" here is just the adjective form of liberty.

A "liberal" democracy is a democracy is one that enshrines the classic individual freedoms (speech, assembly, religion...) e.g. the United States.

A "illiberal" democracy is a democracy that doesn't, e.g. 20th century Singapore.
For sure. I have a friend who shifted from being a chef to an artist making stuff in the neighborhood of paiting. She works as hard at her new career as she did as her old. A lot of effort goes into marketing and sales, but she's making art she likes and has a solid income.

Is heart disease exponentially contagious with the potential to strain medical resources in a matter of days?

Again, these aren't interventions against social freedoms, rather an intervention to prevent a public service from being DDoSed, so to speak. The measures a matter of _hospitalization_. It's pointless to compare a "cause of death" metric to a "plain case count" metric.
Yes I was using them. But its just the repo and the documentation is quite lacking compared to the other languages. Like with most things it I referred to is workable but has just quite a bit more friction.
The author is lumping management & aristocracy into one group and calling it "elites". This sort of unjustified & useless ontologizing is one of the mainstays of the Rationalist crowd. But it sure is fun.

Covid is here forever. We knew this way, way back in March of 2020. Only now are people finally getting the message. Life is short. We cannot play this game anymore. The time to go back to actual, 2019 pre pandemic normal is today.
I think in United States it has always been money. But in other cultures it may be something else.

For example, during the Edo society in Japan, merchants were near the bottom of the social hierarchy even though they could have been richer than some aristocrats.

None of your logic is valid if everyone gets vaccinated as it will be "as good as it can be". Some non controllable number of people will get the disease, but the number of people in ER and ICU will be way down and they can get the help they need instead of help from an exhausted, overworked ICU department that is far from in optimal condition to handle you and other non-covid emergency cases. Your "logic" simple falls apart at the seams.
I honestly don’t see why a beginner couldn’t learn Elixir. You can start with if/else, and later learn how to do things more elegantly with pattern matching. You don’t have to use processes and GenServers right away (and even afterwards, you can use a library/framework which provides an abstraction). The ecosystem has many advanced features and use cases, but simple programs are not much harder to write than they are in Python or Ruby.

In some ways, getting programmers to start out thinking about “everything as an expression” and immutability-by-default might help them write elegant and robust code earlier in their journeys.
I lead 4-5. I could lead more if I had the right tech leadership folks on the team. I agree with most everything from the article. Do you have people who can lead and mentor the other people on your team? Do you have people who can take technical leadership over projects? Is your team made up of all one discipline, like backend? Or made of of mobile and web and backend? How many junior devs are on the team?

I've been on a team where one manager was over 10+ people and I felt neglected and I felt like the people who didn't pull their weight got away with it and that work was pushed off on me.

All this is to say that I got turned down recently for a place I really want to work because I only manage 5 people. Hiring manager wasn't interested because of that single data point. The job was to take half a team from someone who was managing 12 people. Bullet dodged, maybe?

Ah, c'mon. Nobody views Mr. Torvalds as god. He's just an extraordinarily competent, productive, persevering and outspoken engineer, who manages to motivate others to contribute to the projects he started. He sadly is or was also a bit insensitive, but he clearly wasn't alone in that, nor the worst. Remember that Alan Cox, when describing the difference between him and Mr. Torvalds, considered him 'neat'.

Why do we accept mere warnings and labels on everything else, but vaccines are supposed to be mandated? That's a double standard and hypocritical. Let governments keep advertising and let people make their own decisions.
That makes sense. Granted even if they did language models, most spellers can only be used for short periods of time because of eye strain. Is that low hanging fruit or just small improvements on a still unviable approach? And if you're using motor imagery spellers...you're adding a model to like 2-4 bits of input. The efficiency there is horrible.

I'm with you on "I'd prefer an eye tracker." Modern advances in eye tracking (saccade-based stuff!) are pretty sick, and make the technology usable for long periods of time. You have higher bandwidth input than motor imagery, and don't torture the eye like P300.

I would argue then if you can't practically build a propeller to replace a jet engine on an airliner, that being more efficient in theory is meaningless.

I'll refine my initial claim to say jet engines are more efficient in many practical uses and configurations. Would you agree with that?
> A phone operating system probably uses hundreds of libraries/codebases. Are you seriously keeping tabs on all of them?

No but I have a right to inspect & modify whatever is running on my device and check it's behavior / replace it if I want to.

> Sounds like you're more objecting to the "FOSS" label than the general attitude of "the entire software/hardware stack has to be open source".

I have no problem with apps being closed source providing that they can use open formats. For operating systems / drivers though, it's kind of essential to have access to the source for security reasons & long term support of devices.

Additionally, openness is even more important to me than open-source and I would still be okay with a closed-source system but very open in mentality, Android currently lacks both.

> 2. what's your definition of vanilla? If google makes android, then arguably whatever they puts out can be considered vanilla, even if it isn't part of AOSP. Of all the chromium based browsers out there, I'd still consider google chrome "mostly vanilla", even if it does has proprietary bits that aren't part of the chromium project.

Vanilla for me is flashing AOSP straight into the device and booting it. This represents zero device on earth right now.

Just ask your average user if he knows that all his behaviour & data is recorded and sent to Google on a standard ROM by default and see their reaction.
It seems more like vaccination reduces the amount of time it takes your immune system to react once it sees the infection (presumably because it already knows how to make antibodies and doesn't need to evolve them, just start producing again). Therefore, some people's immune systems will kick in and squash it so fast that they never realize they are infected, whereas others will realize it, and a few will succumb to it.

Still better than NOT having had the vaccine, but from what Israel tells us not as good as having had (and survived unscathed) the actual virus in a previous variant. Which, really, does not seem all that surprising. The vaccine has only one target from the virus for the immune system to evolve antibodies against; the actual virus has many more.

But everybody benefits from the wealth of society, which somewhat includes the value of the businesses within the economy.

Care needs to be taken not to kill the golden goose.

The problem I see with the US is the two party political system. I live in New Zealand and while MMP has serious problems, it was a great improvement over FPP.

Note I personally believe in equitable sharing of wealth ("The Scandinavian model"). But as a founder I also believe in the power of the incentives of personal gain from enterprise, which needs to be approximately 10:1 to break even given the risk (see VC).
Interestingly, that last one seems to be missing from LaTeX.
We also hold sober drivers accountable when they cause accidents. Why not vaccinated people when they spread the virus?
Video Games and Professional Society: What Older Generations Don’t Understand

Sure, from a present perspective on epistemology this may make sense, since we now know all the troubles and faulty attempts to decide proper justifications from incorrect ones after Gettier's paper. However, back then the idea to define knowledge using JTB was on the table. The knowledge as justified true belief view is about a definition of knowledge, not a learning method or how to gain knowledge. Many authors would even have rejected the idea of graded belief entirely and said you either believe something or don't (many still do).

Since you accept the notion of truth (otherwise you couldn't be a Bayesian), you'd have to explain why you reject the realist conception of knowledge inherent to the JTB view. Gettier's paper is one attack on it, arguing for graded belief representations is another type of attack on it. In this context it is worth noting that graded belief and categorical belief are very hard to reconcile because they have different logical properties [1]. It's known as Locke's Thesis and quite a vexing problem.

That being said, I share your intuitions. The factivity of knowledge has created more problems in epistemology than the notion of knowledge was supposed to solve. The German word Erkenntnis in Erkenntnistheorie has a meaning closer to learning theory. AFAIK there is no good equivalent to this in English.

Does this make sense to anyone?
It varies in the US. Some is probably locality. Some is probably chain policy. Although hotels don't in general do the copy of passport things that is common in many places.

A few years back, I got in a tight situation. I had a last minute trip and, among other things, didn't grab the little travel folder which I have with backup ID, credit cards, etc.

Get my license out in the back of the car for TSA. Somehow I managed to lose it between there and the airport doors. Called the driver. They looked no luck. No idea what happened.

To my considerable surprise, the TSA let me fly with no real hassle. (Rules may have tightened.)

But when I got to the crappy Travelodge motel on the other side--no luck. I assume I would have had better luck at one of my regular chains but they didn't want to budge in spite of a wallet full of other cards and a photo company ID.

I wasn't sure where I was going to sleep but they eventually relented so long as I paid cash. Fortunately the cost was relatively low enough I was able to get enough of an ATM. (I didn't have photos on my phone.)
On the surface this seems reasonable, but in reality I think the users would end up inside echo chambers very quickly.
Cash is expensive and dangerous to handle as well.
I'm not sure what you mean by your reference to a free market. Patents are a government-granted monopoly, violation of which can get you fined or jailed. If a company hurts people because hurting people allows them to make money from a patent, that's not a failure of the free market, it's a failure of government control.

Unless you mean that you're disheartened that the government doesn't allow a free market here, and you wish they would?
The site you posted only goes to Aug 27th, which is hopelessly outdated for a rapidly deteriorating situation. The actual information from the Idaho Division of Public Health indicates 10 ICU beds staffed and available across the entire state as of yesterday.
