To give a little bit more context:

"On Certainty" is about the foundations of empiricism and how they relate to the foundations of logic. It takes as a starting point that logical deduction is the one truly certain mode of inference we humans have, then asks "how does this apply to physics?".

But it does this while being extremely indirect, and presupposing knowledge of every major philosophical/scientific debate of its time, particularly the centuries-long debate over the nature of empirical inductive reasoning.

Wittgenstein sometimes seems to be talking only about, say, how a certain type of sentence works, but is actually making extremely broad statements about how all of language (and linguistic communities (like scientists)) work.

As with all of Wittgenstein's writings, it only seems simple on the surface. The reason this stuff is still read and thought about is because it has a lot of implications.

Here's my software engineering metaphor: Wittgenstein's method is to point out particularly poignant problems in the implementation of a class, in an object-oriented system, that are meant to demonstrate problems in the underlying architecture. According to him, the way most of us think about language is wrong, and that includes science, politics, and philosophy (even though he is unwilling to say much about those subjects directly).
Perhaps instead we could levy a 0.05% or $300 income tax, whichever is less, and have a tax credit if you do not own a ICE vehicle to negate that.

This isn’t true in any sense applicable to this discussion. For example a near-optical laser transmitter can be as or more efficient in joules per bit than an RF transmitter, depending on the situation.
Yup this will attract the right people.
Thank you for posting those two, I wanted to post them but I don't comment often. Wanted to chip in another contemporary: edelvalle/reactor, which is inspired by LiveView[0].

I am using Hotwire for a project, and I'm learning Elixir and Phoenix on the side. Finding edelvalle/reactor was immediately helpful to me though, because I cut my teeth on Python/Django, so reading a Python reference implementation helps me learn nuts and bolts of libraries, faster. (so, I figure that this might help someone else grok how these approaches work.)
America's Occultist: An Interview with Lon Milo DuQuette (2010)
The assumption is that the tax money would be redistributed to low earners on a monthly basis, much like the child tax credit works now. That way the poor aren't affected and rich bear much of the burden, which makes sense since they also do most of the polluting.
That is not at all a fair take. These companies go out of their way to make their onboarding funnels as seamless as possible, and then jam all the negative side-effects of signing up into an impenetrable wall of text. Not everyone has been in tech for a decade, new users fresh to the internet and life in general sign up every day and these companies rely on their naivety and exploit that.

The consequences are clear to US but we know what to care about, there are teenagers on Facebook, Instagram, anbd Google services. Do you really think they understood the implications of lifelong digital surveillance? Not to mention the thousands of smaller tracking and advertising companies that bottom-feed in the background without so much as a peep. Your behavior lives in the databases of companies you've never heard of before, and they sell it for pennies such is their value of your privacy.

You probably consented to Facebook having access to your photographs in order to do the business you expected them to do with it, such as show it to others in your friends group. Did you anticipate them using your face in advertisements? Did you expect them to run ML algorithms on them in order to suck out advertising interests, did you anticipate the use of your data to form cohorts that allow you to be advertised at by companies you've never heard of?

Depending on when you signed up, you couldn't have, because half of these things didn't even exist when many of us gave them consent. Now think of the billions of users these companies have that don't even know what the word cohort means, and your position is essentially that well they don't know they should be mad, so it's fine to exploit them.

It ends in illegal activities. If you disagree with the settlement you should harp on the FTC for having offered it. Zuck is no saint but this "where does it end" is a poor argument.
At first glance, this appears to be much more complex. React is a relatively simple DOM diffing library. Rails is a closer comparison, especially with whatever their live-view implementation is. This appears to be doing a lot more than React, at least, including network communication, and database change event propagation. The odds seem much higher that stuff will go wrong, especially under load, and be pretty difficult to reason about.

Calif. Gov. Newsom plans to run for the White House, so thinks being hard on corona is the best political option to avoid being accused of "killing grandma with loose lockdown policies."

I think that's not their complaint; I think they started selling EV credits that Tesla earns from the government to internal combustion engine companies (GM, Ford, etc.).

Then the government changed the story by instituting a delay, which devalued what they had earned under the original rules.

I believe they are proposing that changing the rules on them, because they did the work to be in compliance, is effectively punishing them financially for that work, indirectly.
Leaving BTC and lighting aside, I don't think most people would opt out of ads in favor of micro payments. There is a minority who have the money that would but I see nothing in society that points to making such a change possible. Do you have any studies that show people would pay for news/socials/etc. in exchange for no ads/tracking/+privacy? Even the paid streaming services have ads and even when you pay, I'm sure they are still selling tracking data.

It was the official symbol of the USSR which to many were analogous to communism, since it was (ideologically) a global movement and de facto leader of communist military might.

It's completely inaccurate to use the hammer and sickle for socialism, for the same reasons.

You think it's weird ideas have symbols?

Like the cross? Or the swastika (whether hindu or Nazi)? Or David's star? Symbols are a powerful and effective means of communication. That is why ancient victors took care in physically defacing inscriptions and faces from art and inscriptions. And in some parts of the world they still do.
It is a big deal. How you look has absolutely nothing to do with how you’ll perform at a job. Photos only enable discrimination, there really is no other purpose.
That is an example of a restriction that surprised me, so I am asking if there are also other restrictions that might be impeding the recovery, and how widespread they are.

I doubt a decently sized gas tax (a few cents a gallon) would "crush" those who are commuting from afar.

Compared to the inflation already present for years in healthcare, housing/rent and college - all things with double digits for over a decade - the cost of gas rising a dime or two a gallon wouldn't even be noticed with the fluctuation of gas prices as is.
i think this is a case of gmail ignoring periods in your email address and applying the same rule elsewhere.

Sure, the payoff is huge if you can charge royalties, but so is the risk. You don't want to be the one that spends tons of money to develop a new standard only to have someone else's design chosen. You're also limited in how much real-world testing you can do since you can't market devices with the new connector to the public until the law is changed. And if the government is going to mandate that everyone use a certain kind of port then it ought to be made available royalty-free, which removes the prospect of a huge payoff.

It's not the restrictions on imports that I am against. It is the all-encompassing political bureaucracy that the EU has become and how upside-down its priorities are.

> And if you don't like price increases on Apple products, don't buy them.

I don't buy them already, but the type of connector they use is way down on my list of reasons not to use them. Closed source? Hard to repair? Exploitative app store practices? Spyware that scans your data? An unwilling intermediary into developers and consumers? Greenwashed, overpriced hardware that can only be used by the terms dictated from Cupertino?

Those are reasons to not use Apple. Yet, here we are discussing the most irrelevant feature of their devices like it is the only issue that is wrong with them.
His view of capitalism is as a machine that, through competition, picks its monopolies. Ironically he s against regulation , but it is through regulations that those monopolies entrench their dominance forever. in any case he hasn't invented any new form of capitalism, he makes some blunt conclusions that make people uncomfortable.

Even more ironically, his book was a major success in communist China. It seems the chinese took it seriously, learned to instrumentalize capitalism to build their own monopolies, but then disenfranchised the capitalists.

Do you have to aim that laser transmitter?
No, they simply could. Which is likely enough to get compliance from Google. (but regularly not, from other firms)

Bit like saying if a bank laundered money for the cartel and spookies they wouldn't be allowed to be a bank anymore.

That's how it's meant to work. Google, HSBC, et al are not like me and you. They've paid vast sums to ensure it.

It seems like hookworms are developing resistance to treatments in the same that that many bacteria are becoming antibiotic-resistant due to overuse.

Both cases seem like a "tragedy of the commons" - using antibiotics/hookworm treatments (aggressively/preemptively) causes your own livestock/dog to become healthier (or stay healthy in the first place), but increases the chance of mutations that will be resistant to the treatment, which affects everyone (even those not actively using the treatment).

This problem seems not solvable except through regulation, unless I'm missing something.

Actually (and this might sound crazy, but I encourage you to think through it and respond), why not apply this logic to COVID-19 vaccines, as well? That is, why not use non-pharmaceutical means to try to control the virus (which would be equivalent to dog racetrack owners trying to keep their racetrack clean (alcohol misting? dehydration of the track? I don't know anything about this) or farms that raise livestock making their environments less dense and cleaner) and only administer the vaccine to those who are truly at risk? That seems like it would minimize the rate of mutations that specifically affect the effectiveness of the existing treatments. Or is there a difference between SARS-CoV-2 and hookworms/common livestock bacterial infections that matters in this case?

I doubt it will get that far. What's likely going to happen, if anything, is that companies will use this as a regular job board and will terminate problem employees as they already do. There doesn't seem to be any obvious way for employees to report a company. Further still, many of their job listings are with staffing agencies, which would only make it harder for RedBalloon to accomplish their goal since it adds a middleman between them and the employer.
> The thing that every single person can see is that these companies don't have the customer's interest primarily in mind.

I've tried to talk about privacy with many people, but very few people think about things like that. They don't even know what things like "server" mean. Even if they have a vague awareness that companies are conspiring against them, they give up because they have been told that "'They' already have all my data so there is nothing I can do."

This is very untrue. While loop and a stack.

Of course it can't, any function outside DSPACE(O(1)) can't. The fact that you have an implicit call stack doesn't change the space complexity.
The model 3 price is $13,500 just for parts which still fits with the theme of the story. Arguing over invoices is just a diversion from the real issue of repairability. Everyone agrees replacing the battery is crazy expensive - especially when a simple fix is possible.
through Zero to One, his other writings, and by developing his own personal history, Thiel has created an alternate will-to-power mythos for those who feel alienated by whatever they believe the prevailing Silicon Valley technology & startup culture is

"do no evil" might have been the contrarian counterpoint in the nascent early to mid 2000's, but now Thiel, and those with similar cultural, social, and political ideals, has chosen "we have chosen sides" — Thiel wants to position himself as someone who is for and against something, anything, where most technology companies have a bland, homogenous corporate neutrality

I don't think his end goal is trying to get his favored political candidates back to office or something — Thiel is cultivating a larger story and seeding his ideas about the act of choosing sides, and there's nothing necessarily wrong with that
I'm also a Googler these days (via Fitbit). The assumption being made in this entire discussion is that the purchases are mined from Gmail, but that doesn't appear to be correct.

From the screenshot, the items are part of the "Purchases and Reservations" activity category that the parent points to. According to to the help documentation of the category, it specifically refers to purchases made directly within Google Search, Maps, or Assistant. I personally have precious few (4) items in this category, particularly when compared to the large number of purchase confirmation emails sitting in my Gmail account. And there is a UI for deleting the purchase records from my history.

Meta-comment, I find discussions of this type tend to elide the distinction between data used for personalization with data used for advertising. Say what you will about the very fact that the same organization has both, but I do think the distinction is both important, and communicated well neither by Google nor by anyone else writing on the topic.

Much of Evergrande's debt is literally housing that hasn't been built yet. But has been paid for by investors/speculators.

Yes, indeed. Long time ObjC programmer (and C++).

However I've come to appreciate Swift a lot more recently. What had taken pages of code can now be coded in just a page of Swift. That's nice.

I still like OBjC, nonetheless. But I'm liking Swift a bit more. The fact that it's stabilizing is a key feature to this. My objections to Swift have been how changes would pull the rug out from under what you'd already learned and coded before 5.0.

I agree with the documentation issue. A lot of features can't be found short of watching WWDC videos. And even then...

The other issues are "bad faith" and "bad intent" with privacy lately. I've actively removing and abandoning most of my use of iCloud because I can't really trust Apple even on that anymore.
Maybe let him try modding existing games? Steam's community workshop pages are thriving, especially for easily modded titles like Bethesda games.

Back in the day, Warcraft III had a built-in script and level editor and people thrived on making mods and entire new types of games with it (murder mysteries, tower defense, battle royale, DOTA...). It's how I got my start as a coder, modding games that I enjoyed without the boring pressure of "business logic".

I think Fortnite itself has a creative mode with limited logical programming: https://www.firetechcamp.com/course/build-an-escape-room-in-...

From the Wikipedia on universalizability:

>"The precise meaning of universalizability is contentious, but the most common interpretation is that the categorical imperative asks whether the maxim of your action could become one that everyone could act upon in similar circumstances."

>"For instance, one can determine whether a maxim of lying to secure a loan is moral by attempting to universalize it and applying reason to the results. If everyone lied to secure loans, the very practices of promising and lending would fall apart, and the maxim would then become impossible."

If everyone were to block ads, the publications that you're reading would not be able to pay for the content they publish. Note that 'universalizability' requires a somewhat static analysis, and usually doesn't look at how systems might adapt to changed circumstances, though this is not a big problem here, as you have voluntarily chosen to interact with ad-supported publishers under the current regime.
