The only reason I've stopped using a phone is the battery.

I agree regulation is the answer - and becoming an easier argument as phone improvements slow.

Meanwhile, it seems it shouldn't be too hard to make a universal adapter (provided you can access the battery).
> the right assumes that the positions people on the left take are insincere "virtue signaling" because they can't believe someone would sincerely hold these positions. The left knows that arguing policy with statistics, studies, and appeals to claimed national values isn't going to work with most of the right, but they don't really have a better strategy.

This is one of the more beautifully succinct ways I know of to describe this. The moral hole of the right wing (and, well, I'm sure 'iammisc will again rend their shirt, but I've read their comment history and I've spent plenty of time in that swamp more generally, I'm confident in my assessment on both scales) is such that it assumes their opposite numbers must share it because there is no way their epistemic closure can countenance any alternative. And as you say, the left absolutely understands that pointing out reality won't matter--but lacks the capacity to communicate because to do so abrogates our core values. (There is an obvious path to, say, socialism in America, if it's only for white people. We know, because our right wing like socialism-for-white-people. They will fight their representatives to defend it. It's when other people get hold of it that there are objections. And that's a bridge we certainly won't cross for them.)

The divide is inescapable. For a while we could hope that kids wouldn't share their parents' behavior, but--well. Gamergate happened, the MRA movement happened, and they funneled their dupes straight into the machine.

It is sad.
Fellow economist here… I would have thought this rule would be irrelevant to us! I don’t think most of us think we can beat the market. I hold index funds only. (To be clear: I think this rule is a good idea and should apply to anyone with any serious role there. I’m just a little surprised it’s binding on anyone.)

It's one of those weird things where you have to ask:

"Does the IRS not like money?"

What's annoying is they often seem to calculate your return anyway, but they keep it a secret unless they think you made a mistake.

That's not "a bad look", it's continuing anti-competitive behaviour by an aggressive monopolist. Google using their dominance in one area "youtube" to hurt competitors in another space -- in this case to promote their Chromecast devices.

Google has already earned $8B in fines for similar behaviour in the last few years in some of their other product areas (ads, android, and search). This is just what they do at this point, it's not a "look".
"MA SECDEF" is probably the SECDEF's Military Assistant:

> In the United States Department of Defense, a military assistant is a military officer serving as aide to very senior civilian (typically a presidential appointee in Office of the Secretary of Defense or in the service secretariats)[1]

I'd guess that "MASECDEF QTRS" is that officer's "home phone" (at their living quarters).

Based on the office phones I've used, I'm guessing that the buttons with the 7-digit phone numbers are just used to select phone lines that this phone can make/receive calls on, not speed-dial numbers. I'd also guess that they're on an internal military phone network that's not directly reachable from the regular phone system.

I don't understand why "conspiracy theorists" are so discredited. Conspiracy is a crime and people are charged with it often if not every day. It's essentially a coordinated effort by any group to do something others disapprove of. Pretty much any human organization with is capable of it.

It doesn't take long to find evidence of truly outlandish conspiracies perpetrated by the US government itself. Dosing citizens with drugs in an attempt to control their minds. Exposing citizens to radiation on purpose without their knowledge or consent in order to study the effects, measurably causing increased rates of cancer in that population. Anyone can find stuff like this just randomly browsing wikipedia. Yet somehow we're supposed to disbelieve when "theorists" speak?

I've also concluded there's people out there who want to discredit these "theorists" in any way possible. Abusing science and medicine to do it? Why not? They must be mentally ill, right? All those insane ideas must be evidence that something is literally wrong with their cognition. Their brains must be scrambled or something. Schizophrenia? Throw in words like paranoia and suddenly people will agree that maybe we should involuntarily institutionalize these people. Put them on medication to calm them down. Yeah.

Paranoia is not a symptom when they really are after you. I don't understand how anyone can accuse people of paranoia in the 21st century when we know there are a hundreds of government agencies out there spying on literally everyone on the planet at all times. We know they conspire to do all sorts of completely unacceptable actions. We know they always deny the truth afterwards for as long as they can get away with.

Some people have silly beliefs like flat earth. That's just wrong and it's safe to ignore them. The problem is when people raising perfectly legitimate concerns about COVID-19 vaccines are dismissed as anti-vaxxers. The truth is their risk-benefit profiles are not fully known at this time, scientists are still studying their effects. It's absolutely possible that some vaccine has higher risks than benefits. Yet people saying anything that isn't glowing support for vaccination get moderated on social media for spreading disinformation.

Plex has its own telemetry and doesn’t really make devices per-se. it’s an App, including on Roku.

My hous is basically all rokus at this point. But I do keep the isolated on their own net and behind pi-holes.

I’d love an opensource alternative that can do all the things Roku does. Netflix, Hulu (though I don’t have it), prime, or Plex etc.

Sure with something like atomictoolkit you can do it all in Plex, to a degree. But I even use YouTube for things like guitar lessons/song learning etc.

To be fair. I can probably do that with those options. Roku was simple enough that I can work around. I should probably do some better research on alternatives.
I’d use YouTube premium if it didn’t make things actually worse! Without premium I can watch anything anywhere. with premium I get nasty “you’re using this on another device” messages that stop playback and cause other issues

> Are you saying you're a "professional data scientist" with a "mathy PhD" who has a "light-to-moderate amount" of machine learning knowledge? How did you get the job?

Indeed! My job involves approximately zero machine learning, at least for a narrow or stereotypical definition of machine learning. I work on optimization, domain-specific models inspired by queueing theory, various phsyically-motivated structural models, writing production code for data-heavy products, testing hypotheses in data, brainstorming how existing data can be used to solve new customer problems, writing documentation, communicating with customers, etc.

If you think this isn't data science but know of better nomenclature: please share! I've struggled to write a great job posting for this kind of work, and surely improved nomenclature would help :)
"For comparison, today's human genome is 96% similar to our closest ancestor, the chimpanzee. Humans and chimpanzees are thought to have diverged approximately 6 million years ago."

This is disingenuous. I can't fathom why this comparison was chosen, it is incredibly damaging to the credibility of the claims made in the letter.

Opportunities for evolution occur once per generation. The lifespan of a human being is measured in decades. The lifespan of a virus and the number of mutations created in lungs is on an entirely different and much shorter timescale.

Different organisms evolve at different rates, and this comparison seems misleading at best. Saying that humans took 6 million years to diverge by 4% would reasonably be followed by "and this virus could be expected to do it in X"... and that's a MUCH smaller number than 6 million years.
I don't disagree with you, but I'd like to make one small addendum that may go to explain why people might consider his music to feel overproduced. I believe that reason is his use of non-equal-temperament tuning.

For those unaccustomed to hearing pure intervals it can sound like a high-gloss "sheen" that gives an unreal quality to the music. In a way it becomes "too perfect" and unnatural to those who are used to hearing the equal temperament that most western music is recorded in. I hear it a lot in some acapella vocal groups and I often find the sound off-putting and it somehow feels a little corny to me.

Are you talking about AB 5? Because if so, it's nowhere near that simple.

"The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, after hearing the case, issued a preliminary injunction blocking the state from enforcing AB5 .....The court noted that carriers likely would have to reclassify all independent-contractor drivers as employees for all purposes to comply with the California labor law.... California officials and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters appealed the ruling to the 9th Circuit. The appeals court reversed the district court's order...."

I'm not a lawyer, but to a layman it looks like a legal fustercluck.

I don't understand why you would ever protect an encrypted archive of keys stored serverside with a passphrase authenticated from a password hash stored on the server (which is effectively how a PAKE works).

It sounds like what you want is a password-based KDF, to derive keys clientside for the encrypted bundle.

(SRP is pretty much dead now, for what it's worth).
Storage may be troublesome for planes. The high-pressure tanks are heavy, and the low-pressure storage tanks are even more heavy.

Aircraft fuel tanks are just empty unused spaces in the wings and the like, they're practically free in terms of weight.

Also, jet fuel has a nice balance energy per unit weight and energy per unit volume. Hydrogen is too skewed, it is the lightest fuel but takes a huge volume.

For planes, it would make more sense to synthesise jet fuel from atmospheric CO2, or CO2 captured from industrial exhaust.
Also known as client-side window decorations, or CSD. You're not the only one. Lots of people view it as a terrible idea, for a variety of reasons.
From my experience, the Japanese people have really mastered the art of looking stupid. Going as far as acting like they don't understand anything and has zero clue of what you're talking about.

In nicer cases, they get so amazed of how well you play the piano when in reality they're one of the greatest of pianists and you're just a beginner.

It's difficult to tell who is who. Knowing this, I cautiously assume everyone is smart. Sometimes, it's scary how smart/skilled someone actually turns out to be.

In my opinion, what made Einstein great was his grand perspective and ability to think deeply. He was brilliant and his brain could obviously connect dots that most people cannot. But what is that if not intelligence?

It's not the employees that are destroying the aforementioned rural town, it's the DOT doing blatantly undemocratic things that their employees won't approve.

I am not sure I understand your math here. Let’s say every adult in the US, 300M, plants a tree each month for 12 months, 3.6B trees planted in a year. Or are you factoring in saplings that fail to grow or something? Is it that bad that for every 160 trees planted only one survives?

> the risk of a botched repair was permanent loss of hand function - why risk that with a mediocre doctor?

You make an excellent point, and I will point out a related anecdote.

A plastic surgeon in my wife's practice fell into a glass table severing a number of nerves and tendons in his dominant wrist & arm. Basically a potential career ending injury. Short of an amputation that is one of the worst injuries for a surgeon.

He did not go to any regular hand surgeon, or plastic surgeon that may have done a fellowship in hand. Nope. He got driven to Hopkins where they have one of the best teams in the Mid-Atlantic for complex, nerve involved hand & arm related injuries. A year or so later and he is completely recovered.

Some of the other leading honor roll hospitals [1] like Mass General, Cleveland Clinic, Mayo, etc - they have leaders in their field, and collections of gurus needed for really complex injuries where best outcomes are critical. Regular surgeons refer the super hard cases to them, because they are often times the best care possible in the US.

From the summaries I’ve seen, AB5 provides a new temporary exemption (through 2022) for construction truckers from the ABC test that did not exist under the Dynamex ruling, but not for truckers generally.
What's funny about the fact that there was a numerical encoding system for names/words in the first century AD? It's kinda cool, actually. Also, the "mark of the beast" isn't the hash, it's a physical mark that contains "the name of the beast, or the number of his name."
Is this really a good idea? In the US, live replicating vaccines like smallpox, unattenuated adenovirus, Ebola, etc. already have problems with post vaccination shedding and infecting the administrating health care worker even when used in very controlled environments. The live polio vaccine was stopped from the use in the US due to shedding. I guess this could be used in military boot camp where everyone except the recruits puts on gas masks and the whole room gets filled with LNP/mRNA aerosol, but even that's a bit dubious re. consistent dosing.

If they wanted to impress me with that video, the fork should have been made of the same hardened wood. Using the same geometry as the metal one.
I agree, I am an amateur, and the theory I created is based on common sense and elementary school mathematics. This seems to have nothing to do with IQ.

My theory based on the simple, classic, vivid, and widely used in social production practice, elementary school mathematics "water input/output of the pool" as a mathematical prototype, Therefore, it is scientific.
Its name is "The Grand Unified Programming Theory: The Pure Function Pipeline Data Flow with Principle-based Warehouse/Workshop Model".

The "von Neumann architecture" used by computers now has no mathematical model support. So it cannot prove its scientificity.

My theory rebuilt the theoretical foundation of the IT industry, The IT industry is fundamentally associated with mathematics. Solved the most fundamental and core major problems in the IT industry.

Therefore, my "warehouse/workshop model" will surely replace the "von Neumann architecture" and become the first architecture in the computer field, and it is the first architecture to achieve a unified software and hardware.

Software and hardware are factories that manufacture data, so they have the same "warehouse/workshop model" and management methods as the manufacturing industry.

In the IT field, only it and binary system fully comply with these 5 aesthetics: Simplicity, Unity, order, symmetry and definiteness.

It has a wide range of applications, from SOC to supercomputer, from software to hardware, from stand-alone to network, from application layer to system layer, from single thread to distributed, from general programming to explainable AI, from manufacturing industry to IT industry, from energy to finance, from the missile's "Fire-and-Forget" technology to Boeing aircraft pulse production line technology, from myth to Transformers.

The phrase “not looking at prices” generally means willing to buy the more expensive products or services. If you buy liability only, it means you are looking at prices and coverage.
I would expect mutual funds are much more correlated than individual stocks to the effects of monetary policy.

Requiring them to trade slowly so they can't game short-term market effects from their day job makes a lot of sense.

I don't fully understand the ban on individual stocks vs mutual funds though. Is that just for ease of oversight? Is ex. tesla more responsive to monetary policy than mutual funds?

When I close the program my dialogs get restored so I'm not sure what's happening with yours. You may at least want to update to 2.10, there should be a Flatpak/Snap for it.

As of GIMP 2.99.8 the brushes window is still the same. I think all that is due for a redesign, and the menu bar should probably be gotten rid of completely. But someone who is a skilled designer will have to contribute in order to figure out a replacement. The mockups I put elsewhere in the comments here might be a place for someone to start.
> I think that being willing to say things that I know have a good chance of causing people to think I'm stupid is a deeply ingrained enough habit that it's not worth changing just for interviews and I can't think of another context where the cost is nearly as high as it is in interviews.

Unwillingness to adapt to circumstances maybe isn't stupidity, but it's definitely self-limiting.
IANAL but it seems you could make the argument that by not making the modified source available under the AGPLv3 they would clearly be in violation of the AGPLv3 license which would negate their claim that the source code is licensed to them. Wouldn't they need to currently be in compliance with the license in order to excise the rights conferred by the license?

That is only partially correct;

Yes, the general idea is to adjust your boil and pour method for the type of tea you're brewing, but that is true for all tea. Water will lose the same heat under the same conditions whether you're brewing oolong or green tea.

To summarize the points addressed here:

- High-end Chinese green tea can be brewed with "boiling water" just as oolong or black tea can; the adjustments are within the range used for other classes of tea.

- Merchants recommending cooler water for green tea do so to reduce the astringency and/or grassy flavor found in lower quality tea.

- Nepal does not have a historical tea tradition and the cultivation of Nepalese green tea is a modern development. Nepal inherited its tea habits from India whom had it imposed on them by the British who stole the seeds from China. While Nepal produces good tea on par with Darjeeling, it does not compare to the highest end Chinese green teas, which are an order of magnitude more expensive, if not more.
