> But big daddy Google would get so cross

I don't think Google would be as mad as every other publisher on the internet who relies on ads for their living. They would go on campaigns to block Firefox from their websites entirely. They already rail against adblockers with full-site popups and blocking content until you disable your adblocker, making adblocking a default would escalate the situation exceptionally quickly.

Firefox's marketshare would drop even more quickly if people couldn't visit their favorite sites with it (and were likely directed to Chrome or Edge).

Without an alternative, readily available method of monetizing websites, it's realistically going to have to remain opt-in (i.e. installing uBlock).
yes, indeed. Reliability. That's so 20th century. #lame.

(Actually not lame at all in my eyes)
In American politics, yes. The problem is that both parties when in power have extended the power of authority and none have reduced it. It's been going on for so long that I can't take any conservative that says they vote right to decrease government seriously. It's just a talking point now. No one is going to reduce the government's powers and it's gotten us in trouble already. It's always justified as "well I need these powers because <other party> is holding the system hostage" and we've repeated this for over half a century. Authoritarians can be left or right. That's not the axis that matters.
When I worked at Instagram, no psychologist or neuroscientist was ever involved in any part of product development, experimentation, or parameter refinement in any way.

Sometimes "psychologists" (product analysts?) looked at data and wrote reports. This was generally used for very high level product direction, and had more to do with reading the pulse on what people want rather than any kind of actual "psychology".

For example, did you know that US teens don't like to see "too many" memes on their feed? These are the kinds of questions "psychologists" at facebook are answering. There simply does not exist any technology to use "psychology" to optimize low level parameters for engagement metrics.
We are starting with GCP/Firestore ecosystem first and solving for all the painpoints in it but are definitely looking at other DBs down he line.
The anti-police riots last year are interesting to me. There were plenty of right wing militias present at those things fighting the police as well. Here's a video of the "boogaloo boys" in Kenosha WI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyYsKMkrMDM

While I totally agree that it was primarily a left-led movement, and recognize that "fighting the cops" does seem on its face like a liberal idea, it does seem a bit internally confused. Some of the founders of that movement call themselves marxists (about as authoritarian as you could possibly get), and much of the imagery and iconography used in the protests was borrowed from soviet/communist history.

There was also the tacit threat of more violence if the trial didn't go the way the protestors wanted; suppression of the court system is hardly a liberal idea.
> While both right-wing and left-wing governments can exist without crossing the line into authoritarianism, only the classical libertarian's ideal government is by definition anti-authoritarian, because its focus is on the consent of the individual, whereas others are satisfied with the consent of a majority.

"Consent of the individual with sufficient capital," to be clear. "Freedom" is a cold comfort when it's your freedom to die of exposure and hunger on a street corner. Nobody in that position consents to that, and no libertarian ideology I've encountered presents a compelling justification for such a sorry state of affairs (much less a solution).
Yeah, this is really common on this site.

School system and foster care system.

Unfortunately this is very charged territory. Too many people are trying to push some angle. Finding credible data is difficult. One thing is clear: the US Catholic Church has made significant reforms that are driving out the bulk of the abuse, specifically taking allegations of child abuse very seriously.

Here are a couple of links for further research. I am not an expert, I have not vouched them for credible data. Then again, the OP strategy of "cumulative over 70 years" is clearly a tactic to inflate the numbers for clicks. Make what you will of them. I will avoid entering a flamewar on which institution is the worst offender, given the shaky ground of the data and the shifting definitions of "sexual abuse". For example nonphysical sexual abuse (aka poor taste jokes) does not register at the same level as physical sexual abuse, and in the physical realm there is a difference between a tap on the bottom and physical intercourse. Etc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_harassment_in_education...

> A major 2004 study commissioned by the U.S. Department of Education found that nearly 10 percent of U.S. public school students reported having been targeted with sexual attention by school employees. Indeed, one critic has claimed that sexual harassment and abuse by teachers is 100 times more frequent than abuse by priests.[12]

> One survey that was conducted with psychology students reports that 10% had sexual interactions with their educators; in turn, 13% of educators reported sexual interaction with their students

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/do-the-right-thing/2...

> According to the best available data (which is pretty good, coming from a comprehensive report by the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in 2004, as well as several other studies), 4 percent of Catholic priests in the U.S. sexually victimized minors during the past half century. No evidence has been published at this time which states this number is higher than clergy from other religious traditions. The 4 percent figure appears lower than school teachers during the same time frame, and certainly less than offenders in the general population of men.

I'm going to ignore the laptop thing because I don't see how it is important and it is outside my area of expertise.

However, the second point falls very very close to my area of expertise (biochem), so I'll humour you.

> (a) it is very curious that a global pandemic originated in the same location as a biosafety level 4 lab

The above statement actually contains no information: it is a bad faith / rhetorical statement. There are high security labs all around the world, particularly where there are people... so the odds that any event happens fairly close to one are fairly high.

> (b) it was impossible that the virus originated from a lab and in fact it is xenophobic and racist to imply the virus originated in a lab

This here conflates different issues in a disingenuous way. My expert opinion is that it is more likely to have emerged outside of a lab, but yes, it is also possible that the virus originated in a lab. The second part of your sentence is hysterically incorrect.
It seems far more likely that jet flights would migrate to a synthetic fuel, taking yesterday’s CO2, making jet fuel today, and emitting that CO2 back tomorrow.

I think this just goes to show how useful some kind of digital identity verification service would be. Giving your ID to a third party isn't that risky (as I hand it over to grocery cashiers all the time) but we certainly have the tech to do better.

It would be great to have a system with a municipal agency where you sign up for an account at the DMV and then they will sign low-info attestations of identity ("this person is over 18", "this person resides in California", etc) in response to queries from orgs.

AWS Communism – Part 1: How we cut our Load Balancing cost by more than 96%
I actually did the opposite! I was taught this sort in high school (I think the teacher called it shuttle interchange?), and I independently came up with the bubble sort on my own as a more-efficient in-place implementation on disk.

Back in the 90’s for my high-school computer class, we were saving records on disk using TurboPascal and I was trying to sort my file in-place.

The sort was super slow, which I assumed was the disk head having to jump back and forth over larger distances of the array of records when comparing and swapping.

I reasoned if I could keep the compares and swaps between I and I+1, and then sweep those I’s forward, it’s the same number of overall compares but less head jumping with each compare/swap being adjacent records.

My implementation did speed things up quite a bit. I have no idea if my reasoning was right, or if I had some other inadvertent bottleneck. But I was proud of the speedier result.

I never explicitly pointed it out to the teacher, though, and didn’t get full marks on that homework because he said my overall program wasn’t user friendly enough.
Lobbying efforts by who exactly? And are these efforts trumping Facebook's lobbying?
you jest, but they are up 170% since the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
On a recent project I am working on tests typically take 60 seconds to run.
This is jest with testing-library, with 2000 tests fairly typical setup.

On CI it takes about 5 minutes to run.

My laptop which while not top of the line is fairly well powered (8core 32 gb) the fan starts spinning and slows down a bit whenever I run the suite.

I find both these times incredibly distracting and inefficient. It breaks my concentration, faster feedback would be really nice.

Frances has an electrical & computer engineering degree from Olin, was a PM at Google (requires passing a technical interview), was also separately a software engineer at Google, and was the CTO of a startup.
Yeah. 10-15 years ago, I remember that a few things were keeping me on Windows - gaming, some killer apps (iTunes support, OneNote for note taking, best in class MS Office support), and general hardware support.

I now look at my Windows taskbar or macOS dock and there is pretty much nothing that I can't use on Linux. I guess there's no official Google Drive desktop client yet but there are other solutions people have recommended to me. My Spotify/VSCode/Obsidian/1Password critical stack works just fine on any platform.
I worked with Facebook for a short period in 2011 when at a large social gaming company, and it was completely obvious then that they were sociopaths that intentionally took advantage of base instincts for profit. These people made a game of it, and openly slept around on their spouses as a show of being part of the in-group. I can't imagine that its gotten more "disconnected" and better since then.

I understand that its a nice gesture to give others benefit of the doubt with charitable interpretations but don't be naive about it - Facebook doesn't deserve this.
Who are the rightwing authoritarians? Hitler was on the left by today's standards: https://paulhjossey.medium.com/the-nazis-were-leftists-deal-...

So was Stalin. Mao. Castro. All the great totalitarians were on the left. Who are the great rightwing authoritarians?

Also, Biden has shown within the first year of his presidency that he's willing to ignore the constitution, establish mandates beyond his authority, and push bills that will continue to centralize federal government power. What did Trump do in 4 years that even equals what Biden has done in less than a year in terms of authoritarianism?
Yep, similarly. We work with PLCs where the manufacturer normally has fairly deep stocks of all the PLC CPUs, expansion cards, etc - guaranteed part availability is one of the big selling points of using PLCs. Some things are still available but others are completely out, to the point where we're considering completely redesigning some of our smaller experimental projects around e.g. Raspberry Pis.

What we do when RPis stop being available is yet to be seen...
> That's why Udemy remains an attractive option (despite how badly Udemy treat authors as you say). It's a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation.

It is but at the same time it's not.

If you make a course in a category where there's 500 other courses which is the norm for a lot of tech niches you'll be on page 30 and no one will ever find you. For new courses Udemy might decide to show your course to a tiny percent of traffic in a higher search ranking to see if you gain traction but unless you drive your own traffic to Udemy from your own site / resources you're going to have a hard time competing with folks who do. Their algorithm very much prefers instructors who send their own audience to Udemy.

If you don't gain that initial traction you're basically dead in the water. Plus it's going to be a hard sell to get someone to sign up for your course with 4 enrollments and no review vs courses who have 100,000+ enrollments and a 4.4+ rating.

With that said, having no audience won't help much on Udemy vs being on your own platform. You're still going to need to grow an audience and send traffic to your course landing pages no matter which platform you use (a 3rd party marketplace or your own site).
The author later explains that in such situations, you log before at DEBUG level, and after at INFO.
Have you ever considered the possibility that sense is not objective?

If you need reminding, sensible opinion was that masks didn't work. If you need reminding, sensible opinion was that a lab leak was impossible. If you need reminding, sensible opinion was that a vaccine wouldn't come for years. On and on.

Sense is inherently subjective. You are subject to the same flaws of logic and reasoning as anyone else. People believe that everyone else is an irrational fool, and their view is correct (and yes, this is the only thing that has changed recently...as people have become more exposed to people who aren't like them, they have retreated into their shell).

Btw, you should also consider whether your own view here has any "sense". Part of living in a society with other people is the right to disagree with others (isn't it odd that you use this right when considering the views of others but don't believe they have the same right? That their views just make no sense and can be ignored...irony).

It is unfortunate that fewer and fewer people today understand the principles on which their freedom is built.

Conservatives, in general, are strongly pro police, judges and other members of the judicial system. These people are authorities (that ultimately use violence to enforce the law). Conservatives want to increase the number and power of these authorities. Thus, many conservatives are authoritarian.

> “I am suspecting the problems you have are due to the name of the scene.”

yah, for siri, i’ve found simple nouns (apartment) better than phrases (apartment lights off) for naming things in the home app, and for “all lights”, you don’t even need to create a scene (as others have pointed out). for rooms, you can just say “turn kitchen on” and it will turn all lights in its kitchen room on (which may or may not map to all lights in your actual kitchen, depending on how you set it up).

oh, and siri will refuse to do something if you curse at it: “hey siri, turn on the lights, you asshole” ominously responds with “sorry, i can’t do that (…dave)”

Oddly, I am just working on a piece about what makes the show ancient aliens brilliant, and it is tangentially related to this kind of criticism. The real danger of "ancient astronaut theory," is that it is an absurdist ideology as performance art, and when you watch it, you wonder what else is just iterating the logic of an idea to associate facts and replace their uncertainties with the founding idea.

What makes Ancient Aliens so dangerous is that it shows other ideologies to be just as laughably persuasive, and this is what makes it a work of genius. Attacks on this show and the ideas around it are necessarily by people protecting their investment in another ideology the show makes vulnerable. Seems I should finish that piece!

It seems like the assertion is that this isn't newsworthy... despite the fact that huge amounts of people clearly care, but that this is only really making news for a reason totally separate from the fact that there is new leaked data and people clearly care.
