moreover, the whole segment on fitness+ was so tone-deaf. they kept trying to make it seem like a universally-appealing service, portrayed by diverse people but in ultra-aesthetic settings, so really targeted at the well-off among us. regular folk don't set up their cellular-connected ipad in the park to work out with the aid of their iphone-dependent apple watch.

Until they raise their wages, which is the entire point. Wages have been kept artificially low in the west because of migration for decades and it’s coming to a head.
Bayesian reasoning has even worse underpinnings. You don’t actually know any of the things the equations want. For example suppose a robot is counting Red and Blue balls from a bin, the count is 400Red and 637Blue, it just classified a Red ball.

Now what’s the count, wait what’s the likelihood it misclassified a ball? How accurate are those estimates, and those estimates of those ...

For a real world example someone using Bayesian reasoning when counting cards should consider the possibility that the deck doesn’t have the correct cards. And the possibility that the decks cards have been changed over the course of the game.
FYI the pre-print has been updated [1]. It now says 8 times less likely.

10 years later, wife believes I have acquired a mistress. She files divorce, and my bank statements are entered into the court as part of the divorce proceedings. The baguette vendor I visit every night when i sneak out to buy a baguette happens to be located next to the alleged mistresse's address (wife believes I was banging her and eating baguettes, in reality the only temptress was the baguette's vendor's sweet sweet tales of doughy goodness), and now in a number of US states I now owe her increased alimony for a "fault" divorce.

I walk sadly down to the baguette shop, sobbing into my smartphone, where I beg using my tiny remains after the divorce proceeding to buy just one stale baguette. The shopkeep takes pity and pulls last weeks remains out of the trash bin.

As the salt of my tears mix with the mold of the stale baguette, I sit in torment "why didn't I pay in Monero!"

-------- Epilogue -------

3 months later, I join the legion etrangere, the last respite for a soul with no money, no skills, and no baguettes. I have no family to miss me, and any wages I get in the civilian life are garnished. I'm deployed to Mali, a land of no baguettes. 5 more days until I finally get my 200 Euro's pay -- I finally can order a baguette. I hear a loud sound. Several tribesman surround me with pointed sticks. My FAL jams, and I feel the warm fiery sensation of the sticks piercing my organs, as the life force drains out of me. One more baguette was all I wanted. If only I had bought my baguettes with a fungible untraceable currency.

> Have a look at the source code of the top 10 go github repos, you won't find any of what the blog post talks about, because it simply isn't the way it's done

A quick look around k8s certainly shows evidence of lots of boilerplate-y error handling.

To give my perspective, I come from a primarily python background, but have used C++ and JS enough to know my way around, and Java was what I primarily learned programming in.

I write relatively little go, but I review a fair amount of it. The people whose code I'm reviewing are competent, idiomatic go programmers who follow go's style guide (https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/CodeReviewComments) to the extent that it exists.

I find it far more difficult to tease out what a stanza of go is doing compared to an equivalent stanza of python due to the visual noise. In python (and other languages), I usually use a somewhat functional/declarative style, so I use abstractions like comprehensions and such to allow terse transformations of data.

Go doesn't have these. In essence, the tradeoff go makes is to not provide abstractions in the language. This forces users to recreate them[1] ad-hoc, or suffer without abstractions at all (which doesn't scale). This makes everyone suffer, instead of just people unfamiliar with the abstractions suffer.

[1]: https://medium.com/@robertgrosse/parallelizing-enjarify-in-g..., and yeah yeah yeah go finally is getting generics, but the same general comment applies to other common and useful abstractions. Error handling, functional stuff, take your pick.
You assume I have interest in those deeper aspects, which I don't. I enjoy my work, but it's just a job to me. I stay up-to-date and develop my skills, but I have a life outside of work, and generally stay away from writing code in my other endeavors.
Consider starting your own business. "Assholishness" is a trait that can be channeled into something that is valuable to a startup, and you're probably going to be willing to hire yourself.

What’s the put “it in the case” equivalent action for an Apple Pencil? There’s no a need for the secondary battery in the pencils because they’re large enough to have a sizable battery built in. Not saying it’s an impossible problem but it would need a button that doesn’t exist on current pencils.

They could in theory use the older gen 1 pencils but then you’d be bifurcating the pencil branding forcing them to continue making the older pencils with the built in Lightning (which would be even less convenient on a phone since the pencils are longer than the phones). Everyone brought up the issue of losing the pencil with the old version because there was no way to keep them together outside of a case with an extra nub built in. The pencil form factor just isn’t great for phones. It just barely works on devices like the Note line of phones because it’s tiny and has a built in slot to not lose it.
> Not everything that produces mater also produces antimatter otherwise the universe would be a 50:50 mix of each.

That's not known. It's also possible that the initial stuff of the universe, before inflation happened, had more particles than antiparticles. Since we have no physics for what happened before inflation started, this wouldn't break any theory at all. It's a bit unsatisfactory as theories go, but it is absolutely compatible with all physical observations so far.
And similarly with memory speed segmentation in the Xeon line. I'm kicking the tires on a ice lake 8352V, and I was disappointed (but not at all surprised) to learn that it is running its 3200 memory at 2933
> Well, if they are black people with white ancestors(or white people with black ancestors), then they aren't the people I was thinking about.

Africa is very, very, very genetically diverse compared to the rest of the world. I don't think there exists a population which doesn't contain genes for lighter skin.

I think race labels make some sense in a social/cultural context: In America we can call someone "black" when they are 75+% white, because for their entire childhood/life, socially, society at large treated them similarly as they treat people who are "100% black".

But race doesn't make sense in a genetic context. It's probably far more absurd than defining the difference between an accent vs dialect vs language. Even though there are clear differences between individuals/families, the boundaries are absolutely arbitrary.
+1 for Garmin - I bought my Instinct 3 years ago on release & have been so rough on it. I bring it snorkeling in the ocean, take it on multi-day wilderness backpacking/hiking trips, smash it against rocks, use it multiple times a week for my multi-hours-long runs. I brought it on a 2-week trip to Europe without even bringing the charger and it lasted the whole time. And even after 3 years it’s in great shape & works about as well as when I bought it. And that is without even going into all of the amazing fitness features. Can’t say enough good things.
This is precisely correct, especially wrt the cost/benefit. The antibody tests won't tell you when you were infected, with which variant, or how much viral dose, on top of their imperfect accuracy. And if you're going to bother going to a hospital to get your blood drawn, why not just... get the shot and remove all doubt?

Does the calculus change in the countries where vaccines are basically nonexistant? Yes, of course. But vaccines in the US are as nearly easy to get as Gatorade now, and have been for several months. We spent many billions making it that way - we don't need to turn around and start spending even more money on pox party incentives.
They really don't. You're misusing the word "lobby".

Churches and charities don't lobby politically for poor people, they take them on as a righteous burden to bear. Some churches and charities are even used as tax breaks for rich people.

Unions used to, to some degree. They've mostly been neutered and have very limited political capital.
No it does not.

Certain industrial techniques do.

I am surrounded by pasture with sheep (and some cattle, and even some Lama? Alpaca?...) eating grass.

Industrial agriculture is not a state of nature, it is a choice.

The industrial production of soy beans is quite horrifying also.

There are industrial farming techniques that are not so bad as there are traditional techniques that are awful.

We are intelligent creatures and we can make choices. Better choices than just giving up

If you've never milked cows, it may be hard to tell, but happy cows are very obvious if you know what you're looking for.

It should also be noted that stressed cows produce less milk, so it's economically advantageous to keep the cows happy.

Humans have survived this long because of that constant paranoid behaviour. I think we are programmed to love doom and gloom predictions.

I think they do care about what’s popular and are so doomy, in part, because it’s fashionable.

It’s easier to destroy than to create beauty. And easy things seem to me to be popular. It’s much easier to shit on an idea than work on something and I think there’s an aspect of selfishness that it just so happens to be easy to be part of a pointless and helpless system than to get out of bed, etc.
When you get a notification on your watch, spend 5 seconds thinking "Do I want this notification on my watch?" This question is apparently the easy part.

Now for the "hard" part: swipe to the left on the notification, tap the "..." button, and tap "Turn Off on Apple Watch". Now you won't get notifications from that app on your watch. Should take you about 2 seconds.

> The order finds that App Annie and Schmitt understood that companies would only share their confidential app performance data with App Annie if it promised not to disclose their data to third parties, and as a result App Annie and Schmitt assured companies that their data would be aggregated and anonymized before being used by a statistical model to generate estimates of app performance. Contrary to these representations, the order finds that from late 2014 through mid-2018, App Annie used non-aggregated and non-anonymized data to alter its model-generated estimates to make them more valuable to sell to trading firms.

Interesting.

There is some good news though. Recently Abby Martin won her lawsuit.

From your link:

"Documentary filmmaker Abby Martin was invited to speak at an event at Georgia Southern University on February 28, 2020.[69] She was supposed to be paid $1,000 for her speech. She was asked to sign a pledge to agree not to boycott Israel which she refused to do and her speaking arrangement was subsequently cancelled. She therefore announced on January 10, 2020 that she had filed a free speech lawsuit against the State of Georgia and Georgia Southern University over its anti-BDS law. She was represented by CAIR Legal Defense Fund and the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund.[70][71] On May 24, 2021, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia ruled in Martin's favor, holding that Georgia Southern violated her First Amendment rights."

From what I understand they are now trying to alter the law so that it works around this ruling. These laws appear to be easy to implement but once challenged they are shot down. I think more lawsuits need to occur in each state unfortunately. That way we have clear cut precedence.
So, at first you claimed you didn't want to get the vaccine because a friend got it and still got sick. Now you claimed your uncle died from it and your sister's husband got serious sick from it. I wonder why you didn't mention that at first to make your point, instead of using the much less serious case about your friend. Make me skeptical about everything you said.
It’s a tricky space to operate in. When companies like that want to “drive growth” they have a tendency to introduce questionable methods that can be downright user-hostile.

E.g. the irritating JavaScript they use that messes with the user’s ability to copy text from a Medium article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28494328

Stuff like that will irritate readers and give the publisher a bad name.

It might be possible to run a publishing platform without resorting to nasty hacks like that, but the growth hacking shortcuts will be very tempting.

True for you but not for everyone.

I think though that this 1:many culture e.g. the mainstreaming and appropriating of queer culture has had a positive affect of allowing kids to have way more freedom of expression to be themselves. Like looking back growing up only 15 years ago in a liberal area the progress is insane. Gay marriage was illegal & Obama was against it! that's crazy to think about.

Time has flown by (not fast enough especially for gender) and my point is I don't think we can ignore the role of social media & traditional media in those positive changes. Which is a 1:many broadcast like you mention.

It's an interesting balance though I think OP makes a good point in looking both the bad and the good.
Apple took a lot of grief for retiring the 30 pin connector and USB-C didn't yet exist when they did so. At the time I recall Apple saying they would support Lightning for 10 years. That was 9 years ago. It makes sense that the AirPods would use the same connector as the iPhone - imagine the mess that would be if they didn't! Anyway, since next year is the 10 year anniversary of switching to Lightning I suspect that's when they're going to transition all the iDevices (except Watch) to USB-C.

People want to buy "nice" houses. But too many houses for sale need a lot of work done for them still. Enter flippers to make the market.

The average person does not want to buy a house and renovate it for a year while living in it so that they can save $30k. Most people don't have the skills, time, risk appetite, or desire. Let alone all 4. With 2.75% 30-year fixed rates, it's only a savings of $120/m.
Sub headline more relevant than the headline: "Company Will Pay $10 Million to Settle First Enforcement Action Against Alternative Data Provider".

This is such an insanely good arb for App Annie it boggles the mind. Paying a $10mm vig to the SEC for a scheme that probably minted hundreds of millions in revenue from hedge funds is a no brainer.

If the SEC actually wanted to disincentivize future bad actors they'd prosecute rather than issue hilariously petty fines.

No firm data, my mother is high up in UK health policy so I heard from her.

The best thing for your child is for them to socialise as much as possible with other kids. That means they will get sick. In normal times, 2-3% of babies end up in hospital with respiratory infections at some point. Obviously in the short run it sucks, but long run it's healthy.
And many of them were concerned about prioritization during the rollout, when vaccine doses were scarce.
This doesn't solve any of the problems I hear a lot about with technical interviews so I don't see how it's better. Everyone (interviewers and interviewees) complains about writing code and using a white board; this just enables those hated un-proven interview techniques.
That’s just a turtles argument, whatever happened before the Big Bang now has the asymmetry.
I think IMTDb’s point is that it is not the facts that are changing as different people argue for or against booster shots. They are arguing over whether they are “necessary” or “better used to fight variants” which are value judgements. this is a disagreement of which strategy to take, not about the facts.

My point is the "statistical likelihood" could be even smaller under the status quo.

:pulls pigtails:
A lot of people find meaning in creating some sort of legacy that outlasts them. Something about old men planting trees whose shade they will never sit in and whatnot. And some of those people try to do it through their career. Marcus Aurelius wrote extensively and convincingly about the futility of creating a lasting legacy--about how everyone and their deeds will inevitably be forgotten when the last person who remembers them finally dies--but his words are a little bit undermined by the sheer fact that I read them millennia after his death.

But personally, I'd rather just have kids than try and have a successful enough career that I become a historical figure.
