Norm was actually somewhat conservative, though he played his politics close to the vest -- except for when he weaponized his conservatism to shock people and get laughs, for example, when he appeared on The View and the ladies were praising Bill Clinton, he cut in with "Didn't he kill a guy?" in reference to the Vince Foster conspiracy theory.

Yea, They can easily end this by just getting the jab, but choose not to. I'm starting to think the anti-mask, anti-vax crowd actually loves COVID and stay-at-home and all these restrictions. With COVID, these people imagine themselves as powerful freedom fighters, knowers of The Truth, battling the authoritarian government, standing lone against evil, occasionally martyrs for the cause--just like Braveheart! Without this imagined COVID tyranny, they're just normal schmucks like the rest of us.

It is crazy to me that my iPhone 8 "Normal" is with a 4.7" display is smaller than the iPhone 13 Mini with a 5.4" display. I don't understand these devices to get larger every year (unless it is to smuggle away the need for a larger battery). I must be getting old even though I'm just 30 year old....
Those communities existed before social media on bbses, then forums, websites.

> And no, I wouldn't be crazy surprised in either case,

With all due respect, I don't believe you're being honest here. And that goes to my point about people wanting race to not be a social construct. I believe you're lying to yourself(or just lying to me) that you wouldn't be crazy surprised in either case.

> But the real, underlying question that is the base for "many people really, really don't want race to be real" is, "So what?"

Exactly. You don't want race to be real, you think it might be misused if it was real, and so you argue that it isn't real. That is not a compelling basis for an argument. A good argument for the earth being round is not that you're scared of people punching you in the nose if you say it is flat.

> Now, neither you nor I particularly care whether homosexuality is genetic or a choice, but I hope you can see how someone who has to respond to "So just don't be gay!" might prefer one over the other.

Yes, I can see how they would prefer that. But it has no bearing on the reality of whether being gay is genetic, or a choice, or possibly both, and really has no place in scientific analysis of sexuality.

The current system is broken no question.

What people overstate is how broken it is. The gold standard was a bad idea but the next step wasn't a moneyless system. It was just a slightly better money system. Whatever follows next will simply continue that trend. My personal bet is negative interest rates on cash and therefore a 0% inflation target. [0]

The alternative to the USD as global reserve currency isn't the yuan, it's a bancor style system [1].

What we might see in the future is the growing importance of IMF special drawing rights [2].

None of these ideas involve adopting a completely foreign system.

Lots of angst over the loss of 'unmediated' understanding of latin. But, of course, if you hear it then translate it in your head into your native tongue then its still mediated. What difference does it make? I'm not sure its as big a point as the article makes out.
I really think it was paid subscription + there are many alternatives, so the articles aren’t worth paying for.

If Medium had some advantage, like better content (for users) or better discoverability (for writers), it would be worth paying for. But it just doesn’t. There’s nothing I get out of Medium that I can’t find on other sites. There’s almost nothing a writer gets out of medium vs. creating their own site.
> ASIC power draw for decoders is typically in the <1W range.

Many times even "standalone" HW decoders use or share GPU components (e.g., almost always the memory). Just bumping the memory controller clock up of the GPU already consumes >10W on my system.
This is what I get for trying to tell that story from memory. What I intended to say was that the original blood groups were A, B, and C, and only with later research into the antibodies and surface proteins was it discovered that 'C' was really an 'AB' group. 'O' wasn't in the original set because none of the original donors had type-O blood, nor was Rh-factor discovered for the same reason. The original clotting discoveries weren't wrong, but they were dangerously not-right, as in "Your blood turns to jelly in your veins" not-right.

The relevant point is that early research (especially when there isn't a well-understood causality story, as is the case here) is more likely to be off due to small sample size than representative of the reality for the global population. I would treat a claim as broad as "AI Recognises Race in Medical Images" as the kind of thing that will end up with giant qualifiers on it as follow-up work is done.

> Most users benefit from social media

What evidence supports this? The story is about evidence that this is in fact not true.

The software we are talking about is not dropped from the heavens. It is created by extremely large, powerful companies in pursuit of profit. If this software harms people, these companies are not neutral actors merely swept along with the tide of technology.

> How far does the state have to intervene? How much responsible behaviour can be expected from the user themselves?

Surely the most relevant question is how much responsible behavior can be expected from the companies themselves? They are the ones armed with research departments actually studying the effects of how their software affects people.
So (getting my head round this) ... mobile app creators added an App Annie agent to their apps, which downloaded performance / usage data on their app to central servers. And App Annie promised not to sell that data to third parties unless it was "aggregated and anonymised".

(Does App Annie pay the app creators for this?)

App Annie sells this so people can work out which app to advertise on (the one with all the usage!) and which all to invest in (the one with all the usage).

But they found that no-one wanted the aggregated data, or it was nit accurate enough, so they stopped using anonymised data and used the raw data.

but said "it's ok we have permission"

Ok.

So they signed contracts on both sides, which contracts directly contradicted each other - they were always going to get caught.

But this is aggregated app usage data - Apple could publish this in a heart beat and (presumably) it would be legal and App Annie would have no market.

I know that "everything is securities fraud" and if you lie to both sides you will get caught. But this feels like a non-prosecution. The SEC had to - it was so blatent when it gets laid out, but really I doubt anyone thinks this will drain the swamp. It's all usage data.

Edit: less ! marks
I absolutely agree.

> As a contractor, you're external to the company, so there's no mentoring of junior devs, no on-call, no researching new tech. You're brought in to write code, and that's it.

That really depends. I'm a contracting tech lead, and am expected to do all of the above, except the on-call (thankfully our app is insignificant enough to not need 24/7 support).
Why do you think the capitalist pay programmers so much?
> If the SEC actually wanted to disincentivize future bad actors they'd prosecute rather than issue hilariously petty fines

The SEC can't prosecute. They can only make criminal referrals to the DoJ.
Thank you. Exactly as I feared. Its a social definition, and makes it even more weird that an AI could predict from physical attributes i.e. an x-ray.

Every year they make the same claims, but in recent year that I've had an iPhone (8 Plus -> 11 -> 12) it will last all-day for 4-5 months before needing charging in the car (especially while doing multiple things like Music, Maps, and perhaps mobile food ordering [without CarPlay]). The chemical properties of li-ion seemingly can't be overcome without making the battery module physically bigger, which is why my next iPhone (14 or 15) will have to be the Pro Max version.
So you're saying Curtis is writing fiction?

FWIW I am deeply sceptical of fictional accounts of the human condition. What's the difference between (say) Lord of the flies and some white supremacist novel - ignoring the actual quality of the writing? They both purport to tell deep truths about the human condition, but does that mean they are right? Telling us something does not mean that thing is true; I think this is a real blight on our discourse (and probably will be forever).

The only time something like the lord of the flies ever actually happened in real life, the story was apparently very different

>"the employers would simply be glad to pay them based on their productivity."

Maybe for smaller companies, but any business with an HR department, investors, or board of directors is going to pocket the gains rather than distribute it out via raises. And, in my experience, they even resist raising COLA rates despite the company consistently growing year over year and inflation beginning to rise.

I also assert that people wouldn't need to switch around jobs during their careers in order to get substantial pay raises if pay rose with productivity.

I disagree. I think this overproduced 100.00% perfect everything style from Apple is more cringey, but in a new way.
None of these are needs. Phones aren't needs. You know what you need? Food, water, shelter, maybe clothing (environment dependent, though I'd recommend at least some footwear in most of the world). Those are literally your only needs. Everything else is a want.

The thing you seem to be willfully ignoring is that if you want those capabilities and have an Apple Watch (since that's the specific device we're talking about, others would also do) you do not need the iPhone in your pocket in order to have those desired capabilities. You can leave it at home or in the car, and go about your life with those capabilities on your wrist instead.
Designers often have a much more intimate view of the application as an abstraction.

I don't think you want to be benching that knowledge very often.

Having extended research phases or personal development would be great to cycle in between major releases.

In the interim they might develop better tooling or A/B a subset of features, or strategize with the analytics dept.

We really all should have a designer mindset, but truly professional designers are product gurus.
It's easy to write "just-so" explanations about American political trends, but I agree that Goldwater is really the crux to understanding exactly the mess we're in today: you can draw a direct line of thought and political lineage (one politician fostering the next) from Goldwater to Reagan to the Contract with America[1] to our most recent ex-administration.

Toss in America's (inevitable) deindustrialization and the violent, systematic oppression of worker's movements without any real pushback from the DNC, and it's hard to see how things could have ended up any differently.

The US Civil War was much longer/bloodier than expected by both sides, and as late as 1861 was not seen as inevitable, even after succession began.
I can't find a particularly great example of this other than Lincoln's March 4thinaugural address.

A Virginian for example of a more anxious disposition might have packed up and headed west after the succession process began in December of 1860-February 1861 but before the war began in April of 1861.

I can confirm that 5000 desktop ryzen series has issues with turbo boost, basically if you disable turbo and stay on base clock then everthing is fine, but with turbo (CPB) enabled you get crashes and BSOD. I had this problem at work at my new workstation with ryzen 5900x. We RMAed it and new cpu works fine. From what i read it's pretty common problem, but it's strange that no on talks about it.
The focus of the article is how Instagram knows that their product is harmful. It's not saying that all products, or even all similar products, are harmful for everyone.

I think this thread is at the very least offtopic; at the most, it's intentional whataboutism. This could well be your honest reaction, but maybe consider carefully before shifting focus like this.

Large tech companies would like the conversation to shift in exactly this way. They want us to choose between "the internet" and no internet, but the real choice is between their internet and other possible internets.
I have a 645M that's almost 4 years old (purchased Jan 2018). It has outlasted by a factor of 2x my previous smart watches in terms of taking physical abuse. It still has nearly a week of battery life when not using GPS, and variable if using GPS.

The one drawback to it is that on iOS, the notifications suck. I have no control over what apps can send notifications to my watch; its all or nothing. Back when I had a Pixel on Android, I could control which apps could send notifications to my watch. I'm assuming there is some API limit to 3rd party watches in the Apple ecosystem that prevents Garmin from being able to filter out notifications.
Reminds me of Salvage 1 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvage_1), Andy Griffith goes to the moon in 1979!
Not when we are talking about $15 vs $26 per hour. If you think there are workers out there whose productivity is $26/hour, but who can't find work at more than $15/hour, then you can truly disrupt the market and hire all these workers for $20/hour and become rich.

PS: it looks like the federal minimum wage is still $7.25 [1], not $15. You can become richer.

That's 1/4 the size of the texture of a Minecraft block. An AI could easily be trained to identify the block type of a Minecraft block based on an 8x8 subsample of one of its textures, and there's no reason something similar couldn't happen with biological race. Unless you a priori assume all racial differences are socially constructed and/or only skin deep.
Because they don't have an alternative. If the supply of programmers was as large as the supply of minimum wage workers pay would drop significantly.

It indicates the major flaw of capitalism: It has no moral compass whatsoever. Its a vicious meat grinder. I think the comment is quite insightful, in the employers might think one thing while the realities of capitalism dictate another.
'Estimate the median of an arbitrary sized data set using a constant amount of memory'.
I think, then, that software devs need to be more critical of themselves, too. I see people in the comments often bemoan that we are too reluctant to call projects "feature complete" when adding new features stops adding value. Instead, we get new versions and features for no reason other than to justify the continued existence of a full-time development team.
Weird. Am a big fan, but can't imagine anyone dissing the Enlightenment. Maybe a bit crazy after all?
I am employee market, yes. You make people do the things they don't want to do, they start looking for another job and quit 2-3 months after. This has been a trend in my current company, to the degree that "developer preferences" is one of major factors when choosing tech stacks.
Nobody is "glad" to pay programmers that much - they pay as little as they can get away with, which for programmers happens to be a higher floor.
This doesn't value quality of life. Startups, for many people, are a lot more fun than FAANG. If you stay at your FAANG job but invest, you have the worst of both worlds... a lower salary without the fun/excitement/pride of a startup. We have lots of angel investors, and I doubt any of them feel like they're getting a "startup" experience for their money.

Plus, I think there's some real problems with the math. Nobody is doing a $5M cap anymore, you have to somehow have really good deal flow to get two good $50k investments a year, $50k is a lot for an angel investing their own money, most companies are going to fail, and as soon as there's another round there's dilution.

I had one of those multi-thousand dollar 10MB HDs, put in my Wang personal computer (that required an x86 compatibility board to be useful beyond word processing). Meh, it was pricey, but that's just what hard drives cost back then. If you needed it, you needed it (and probably had a legitimate business/tax-deductible use for it). If you didn't need it, you did without, because only rich people have that kind of disposable income to blow on HDs that cost as much as the computer.

>foundation of Maoism

I can see how you'd think that's the path I was going down, especially given the topic of the original article. But, that next step to full Maoism is a doozy!

My original point was actually more meta: kind of an observation on the way these discussions are approached versus an argument for a specific model.

But, yes, I later revealed my belief that there is a degree of inequality that is untenable and actually anti-capitalism. I believe we should address this and that we actually have in the past (e.g. labor unions), while stopping well short of anything resembling communism.

So, I think these decisions are much more related to political will, the power of specific interest groups, etc. Hence, they are simply choices.

However, instead of addressing them as choices, we are instead rather disingenuously led into these discussions as if we are powerless against the immutable force of nature that is the economy. This approach obviously benefits the status quo.

So that's the whole of it in one place. I'm sure it's much clearer now.
Sort of. Refraction it better looked at from a wave perspective than a particle one, IMO. The wavefront expands at the speed of light, but the wave bounces off of the medium it's traveling through and self interacts in a way that means that the highest probability area moves slower than C despite the edge of the wavefront still moving at C. That smearing is also why the wavelength changes upon refraction. (And obviously leaving concepts like time dilation off the table for simplicity's sake).
