Actually there are people who are do-ers. Not everyone is wired the same.

Personally I can’t NOT do things. Regardless of if I get paid, it works out, or I even get yelled at for doing it - I fix things, pull things apart and make them better, clean things up, learn, and solve problems regardless of the discipline. If I’m not doing those things, I feel terrible. If I do those things (and the more the merrier), I feel good. I’ve built large scale engineering teams at FAANG’s and laid (inspected) foundations for buildings I’ve made myself without error - concurrently.

It pays well, if I’m smart enough to do things that provide value and most people can’t. But even if it doesn’t, I can’t help myself.

So far that includes networking, electrical (permitted, household and commercial), coding, welding, machining, commercial contracts, logging, real estate investment, piloting small aircraft, rock climbing, concrete work (inspected, residential and commercial), fathering 2 healthy strong and well adjusted boys, framing, hydraulic engineering and water delivery design, teaching and mentoring many strong leaders, bespoke financial instruments, and many more. All at a level equivalent or exceeding highly rated professionals or successful folks I’ve worked with or partnered with. It’s weird, but it is what it is. I can’t help myself, and it feels almost like a disease sometimes. I did El Capitan (Mescalito) solo aid in my early 20’s for my first big wall, ‘off the couch’.

It causes friction because either people don’t believe it, or once they do they can’t understand it - sometimes they even get angry or resentful. I don’t do it because I’m trying to show off. It just is who I am.
>It is possible to compute over encrypted data without access to the secret key

I don't think this is counterintuitive for most people. The most basic encryption scheme that everyone knows is the Caesar cipher. It's easy to see that shifts of the cipher text will cause shifts in the plain text.
I love the last sentence :) Indeed we are trying to solve for users on Firebase and solve their pain points first.
Yes. But more than comparing a set of specific A vs B, I think the differences emerge from

1. fundamental entropy of the medium

2. mode of delivery

3. ambient perception of consensus.

Video is a medium that has far greater entropy than something static like a picture, or text. So creators have the ability to use all that extra space to create far more engaging content. Whether that leads to positive or negative outcomes is dependent on the content itself.

The second aspect, the mode of delivery. Something like Instagram is immediately accessible. Flipping pages vs having it delivered straight to your eyes, magazines have no chance, even when you limit Instagram to only pictures.

Lastly, social acceptance and the perception of acceptance. When something you see has tons of likes or shares or hearts or whatever it is, a magazine article with no cues on social acceptance has no chance.

Now, I am very far from social media. But I enjoy content about science and tech. When I was younger, I learned a lot from Pop Sci/Scientific American mags. But now, going against science videos on Youtube - magazines have zero chance at delivering learning.

My niece is constantly on Youtube looking at these, and at 10 years old, she can easily have a meaningful discussion with me about space or planets or whatever.

So what we have is two things with entirely different levels of potential effectiveness. Whether you use each one for good or bad, that's up to the creator, moderators, platform hosts etc.
Please cite the health benefits of doomscrolling twitter, playing candy crush for hours, etc. etc.

If it is proven that these companies have internal research acknowledging negative psychological effects of this addictive behavior, and ignored it and the widespread social damage it does (the social media specifically, not candy crush), then it would be as big a bombshell as the tobacco industry in the 2000s.

So I disagree on your distinction in the first line.

I would use the example of putting warning labels on sugary foods and soda more than I would about cheese.

Why? Because I disagree with your final line, too. Cigarettes wouldn't be such a problem if they weren't proven to be addictive. It's precisely because they are so habit forming and unhealthy that warnings are necessary.

TLDR: The thesis here is that Facebook has internal documents acknowledging that the system they have created has negative psychological and societal consequences, they know it, and choose to obfuscate it rather than eliminate it.

As more information comes out, it doesn't seem unreasonable for governments to step in and at least have public awareness campaigns on the dangers of social media overuse. It will be tough because it's not as clean cut as "this is your brain on drugs", but it is necessary.

And finally... I don't know how we do it as easily with traditional media, but we collectively have to recognize the patterns of rage-bait and journalistic malfeasance that cable news is the leader in committing, especially Fox. The more traditional "news" label being applied to them, government intervention is a much trickier thing, so it may be more wise to come at it from a different angle.
Ideally, I'd have 2 webauthn tokens, one that I keep on myself, and one that I have at a secure, off site location (like a safe deposit box, if you consider that secure). The problem is you need to physically posses the backup key to register it to any new services you might sign up for.

Yubikey has proposed a webauthn extension to support this usecase[0]. Unfortunately it requires both changes to both hardware and server side webauthn libraries, so it will likely be years before this would actually be a viable solution.

Put it in Diet Coke. I usually drink a can or two every day.
I think it's probably meaning the same type of laziness that Larry Wall talked about in his three cardinal virtues of a programmer : laziness, impatience, and hubris. The type of laziness and cleverness that will get others to do useful and important work is invaluable.
It is truly astounding how little you know about biology and then talk so confidently about these Nobel prizes. You realize that cancer and Covid research builds on this type of stuff, right? Well you probably don't since you have demonstrated throughout this thread that you have the biological knowledge of a potato.
I think they're also saying that there's issues of fact?
For me, it is the opposite. I don't feel any shame from a computer marking a book as "late" in its database. I do feel shame from having to walk up to the library desk and tell the librarian that I owe them $0.50 in late fees. I'll go well out of my way to return books on time, to avoid this shame and not the relatively trivial fee itself.

I think that perhaps strong shame requires a social interaction. (However, I would also be ashamed to pick up my child late from daycare, so maybe my feelings aren't broadly representative.)
> You really have no idea how a huge number of Americans live.

Yes I do, and I wouldn't lend books, or anything else, into that environment.
Mighty neighborly of you to share the link!
I’m pretty sure I’ve used this algorithm in situations where I needed to quickly sort for small values of n and was too lazy to find a better way.
This verdict will very likely be reduced considerably on appeal - - as most are . . .
You mean Steve Apple?
I believe Veritasium covered this: spinning at relativistic speeds generates centripetal forces that overcome the nuclear force. There is no material you can use to test this paradox, and there can be no such material because your device would atomize - or worse - in the attempt.

Effectively there are g-forces so high that you end up with subatomic particles.
> That's why when you go into clothing stores they'll say the product was $95 or whatever and what luck, through many discounts it's now only $30. Well they all sold at about $30, we know that, but the product decoy pricing itself tries to capture both worlds.

isnt that called "double pricing" and illegal in some countries?

(apologies if i'm misunderstanding)
The US already received a more politically palatable form of UBI when the automatic child tax credit hit. Couples making up to 400k get money direct deposited every month per child. 0% chance this will ever be rescinded.

I would say Yang introduced an issue single-handedly into the conversation and it was implemented quite quickly without any discussion because of the unique pandemic situation. Will be interesting to see the long term research that emerges from this.
While (as I understand it) Talespire isn’t written in Common Lisp, one of its main developers often explores solutions for the software in CL, and has written some cool REPL-based shader tools in Lisp. He streams his coding sessions and some Lisp tutorials here: https://youtube.com/user/CBaggers
I like a large amount of this platform but I don't trust this guy & if this goes anywhere he's going to so wreak electoral havoc that will doom him & his natural (& most recent) allies chances harshly.
UBI is pretty prominent on the front page too, if you scroll down (under Core Values).
I have actually done this, and it works great! Would recommend.
I am not clear why the proof is so long. By induction, the first i elements are already smaller than the A[i], so it's essentially an unoptimised version of

for i: 0..n-1
A[i] = min(A[i:n])

Can someone from AntlerVC talk about the move/reposition? Is someone from the team running with the idea?
Bacterial rot is not the only thing that trees can turn into: their carbon can enrich the soil and be consumed by insects, fungus, lichens etc that goes onto feed higher species on the food chain. On top of that, rotting trees is fantastic habitat for animals, which are also made of carbon.
What do you mean, it looks like bubble sort? It is bubble sort.

You're right. At the time I did not consider the cost of creating and destroying the thread every ten minutes.

Reflecting back on the problem with your comment in mind, the module I wrote could have expected the consumer pass in the thread pool, rather than the module managing it's own pool for something that runs every 10 minutes.
It's very unlikely that they would double their offer to what you are now receiving. If they did, it would point out that they have the mindset to nickel and dime you to death whenever they can. That would indicate a bad place to work.

Stay where you are to keep a good income coming in while you actively keep looking for a better job at another company.
I think this is about robotics, but who is editing these titles? I don't understand why no one would step in and clean up the nonsense instead of letting obviously wrong direct translation stand.
I'm tempted to back them purely for Ranked Choice Voting. Will be keeping an eye on this for the future.
That might be from your phone number getting leaked to some spam companies over the course of being in school. There's always those random events or emails or whatever in college where you inadvertently put your contact info down and I'm sure these spammers try their hardest to get ahold of student phone numbers and other lucrative metadata.

At least where I live now its nowhere near my home or my old college, dozens of states and several time zones away, and I just don't get any spam from these local area codes over here. I just scrolled over my last few months of call logs to see if this was true, and all the spam was from my phone number's area code from back where I grew up or an adjacent area code to that one somewhere near my home city. It's all voicemails and occasional texts asking me to sell a specific house I don't own (sometimes the exact address changes). Maybe I lucked out, who knows.
That's a weird stance. I don't know that I'd vote for Andrew Yang, but I trust him to speak honestly about what he would do if elected more than almost any other politician.
Those calculations are for oxygen required to breathe, not carbon dioxide exhaled by people. The cycle for biologically produced and consumed CO2 tends to be carbon neutral.

As far as I'm aware, the issue isn't with CO2 produced by cellular respiration, the issue is the burning of fuels dug up from the ground and the destruction of natural carbon sinks.
The yubikey still protects you from phishing campaigns, even if you have other 2fa modes enabled on an account.
Finally something more destructive then stock markets.

My only problem with bitcoin is, imagine if to own a share of Tesla stock, you had to burn down a hectare of forest.
Tables I would image when it is released, should be a great Airtable alternative. With Rowy, we are building an Airtable like experience but your actual database on Firestore. So that developers can continue to build their apps. https://github.com/rowyio/rowy
I did have interest in Andrew yang, but I think leaving the democratic party has drastically decreased his chances of making significant political moves unfortunately
What can go wrong with machine learning systems?
Me too. I attempted to migrate to using this tool in Pycharm, (I have often used Paw for this kind of thing) but it felt a bit unfinished last year.

Do you use it as part of a web dev workflow?
As myself and several other people have pointed out to you now across multiple comment trees, there are a vast number of people who have housing but do not have $200 of liquid capital to drop as a library deposit.

But to short circuit this insanity a bit: why. Why is this recommendation desirable? Can you point to any negative impact that has occurred at any library that has just stopped charging late fees and switched to “bring back old book to get new books”, as has occurred here? If not… why are you so determined to invent a new solution without understanding the library’s usage demographics, when what they picked for themselves seems to be working.

Scale totally matters.

Tax breaks are not the same thing as "money direct deposited every month".
Oh, I totally agree. When it comes to a fishing community surrounding a lake, having rules in place to limit the number of fish each fisherman can catch benefits everyone.

But the same principle applies to me and my friends eating cookies. Each of us is incentivized to eat as many as we can - because its a limited resource and they're delicious. But in this case we use social, not legal consequences to punish defectors. If my friends see me eat all the cookies, they will be angry with me. This is a strong enough system to keep us honest.

But imagine if we adding a law here, making it a crime to eat all the cookies. Would that improve our behaviour? No. We might not want to share cookies at all if its possible one of us could go to jail for it.

I think laws are often appropriate. But laws are a blunt instrument. They can't be our only tool to protect the commons.
Probably not. The issue with always using one set of pronouns is that people with other pronouns may feel isolated. For example, always assuming software devs are male could cause female devs to feel like they don't belong.

Realistically, it's really hard to fix this encoded bias in language models.
Two problems here:

Major version nos are not in practice used for breaking changes but more usually for new features.

The unintended consequence is to make it more acceptable to add breaking changes and force upgrades to stay current.

It’s not a huge deal though and I’m interested to see how this decision works out. Personally I think it is none of the package managers business.

>I really like this one. It's a perfect combo of intuitive from one perspective and mind bending from another.

One thing people misunderstand about third parties is that they don't need to win. If they're structured correctly (this is by far the most difficult bit), they can have significant political influence without ever winning a single election.

For example, love him or hate him, Ralph Nader probably swayed the 2000 Election and had incredible influence over the outcome (for better or worse).

Coming back to the Forward Party - what I'd personally want is some minor third party that has a series of very modest goals to complete each year. If this party can complete said goals in a grassroot manner in succession every year I believe they'd eventually be a dominant (third party) player.

I think third parties should focus on minor results and less on rhetoric. Unfortunately this is very difficult to do in modern American politics. Oh well.
It's a refundable tax credit... this is actually the same as cash.
I think you're taking things too seriously (and in one case not seriously enough): These are all conclusions that are true if their premises are true. Some of their premises can obviously be satisfied, others obviously can't and many others are in between (unknown or debatable.) They're all counterintuitive results though.
if you don't like being poor, just be rich, don't know why so many people here think parents and adults are not capable of regulating themselves and their kids.

This controls reasonably well for the risk of theft, but fails to provide any security for damage/loss/failure to deliver/etc. It's nice to know that your counterparty is incentivized to act well - it's much, much better to know that you will be made whole in case something goes wrong, intentionally or not.
sorry for being unclear

what i meant was, that if people dont use debt as a form of capital (investment in something to get a larger return) then it is basically bad as you say because you will be under water when paying the interest..

basically, people who go into debt need to think like a capitalist, and invest it in something (thier skills, a car to get a better job somewhere, etc)

thats what i mean.... sorry if it was confusing

I don't think he had anything to do with the script abd photography of these movies. Maybe too much with casting teenage actresses, but the movies would have been "managed" (rent-seek) by some other production companies, don't worry.
I am sorry if my opinion is not the one you would expect from someone who majored in film.

Secondly, I love cinematography. I also love Seinfeld. But I don't think cinematography is one of the main reasons people love the show.
I couldn’t get past the first few seconds of each speaker repeating the question and their slow inefficient speaking. What an infuriating way to consume information, what’s wrong with just plain text? Especially since some of these people basically repeat the same things. What’s next, a video version so we can waste bandwidth on their pointless hand gestures and facial expressions? Respect people’s attention spans.
Ugh I support electoral reform, but why the obsession with ranked choice?

It is the second WORST voting system after first past the post, which is what we have now.
In other words:

> Can you educate a person who lacks the skills for what you need, but is willing to put lots of effort and determination?

But will that motivation remain once they're over the excitement of learning? You have no guarantees that by the time the Do-er is educated they will still be motivated.

> Can you motivate an educated person that has the skills for what you need to act on them with lots of effort and determination?

The implication of the tweet is that this is "harder", but I don't like the word "harder" here, what does it mean? That it will take longer? That it will require more effort on your part? That it is more likely to fail?

Alternatively, hire a motivated and educated person?

If someone is a motivated Do-er, why can't they motivate themselves to go through education? That also confuses me, you say you're motivated, but don't want to put the time and effort to learn?

Basically, I think this whole "Do-er" and "educated" dichotomy assumption is BS. I think it be more apt to talk about "passion" versus "just a job that pays my bills".

If you expect someone to go above and beyond on the job, without you motivating them to do so through actual benefits and compensation (like better pay, bonuses, etc.), you better make sure you found someone passionate enough about the task itself to be motivated to do so purely based on what the task is.
I am confused with what you mean. Can you please explain why you said part of the argument was a strawman, which part and why?

Warning labels won't be of much use, as an individual most will ignore them believing in there own prowess to discern truth.

Taxing all social media or all media may have interesting implications as this again will reduce profit for all and give some revenue for governments without making any actual change. Also people making cooking/educational videos on Youtube may resent having to pay sin tax.

Turning off Javascript won't suddenly make 900+ tabs easy to manage. The UX isn't designed for that volume of separate pages, the tabs are cumbersome to navigate and still just don't really lend themselves well to large sessions that span multiple topics.

I'd believe the same thing even if Javascript had never been invented, tabs as they exist today aren't suitable for long-term content storage/references. Firefox doesn't even support tab grouping unless you set up another extension to try and hobble in tab tree support.
