Wait, if I as an individual were to say “I want higher wages and better working conditions” what I’m actually saying is “I’m engaging in a concerted conspiracy to drive down wages because uh, I love corporate profits so much“?

What sort of doublespeak actually arrives at “I want higher wages and better working conditions” after going through this (possibly proprietary to you?) process of unpacking the ~real meaning~ of people’s words?
Thanks for the comprehensive reply, sounds intriguing.

Being employed, or even having been employed, by an entity on the BIS's Entity List will make doing business in U.S. and in U.S. dollars expensive and tedious. At the very least, you will impose ongoing additional costs for every financial institution you interact with.
I don't mean anything special by "state actor", I plainly mean: actions taken by a state.

Whether you consider those actions to be a threat would depend on an individual person's or organization's assessment of the impact of those actions.
It doesn't really work fine though, there are numerous really old bugs that never got fixed. Here's a sample:

And I'm sure you could find plenty more. All this stuff is fixed or is trivially fixable in Wayland, by the way.

I think that a "remember device" feature is a totally orthogonal concept. That's really just another word for a session, and it's quite common for authentication to apply to an entire session rather than to each and every message in a session.

It's true, of course, that once you have created an authenticated session on a device, anyone who has compromised that device (with physical access or a software hack) can likely gain access to that session. But the authentication method still prevents unwanted initiation of sessions, which is the whole point.

Any service provider obviously needs to choose their session policies to match the sensitivity of their service, their own threat models, and the threat models of their clients. So e.g. an online bank probably shouldn't issue cookies that last for a year and are portable across IP addresses. For some services, it could be a good idea for the session to only grant less sensitive access (e.g. only read access), and still require fresh authentication for sensitive actions (e.g. transferring money).
I think both tweet and this submission are misleading. Github has a new CEO ("Thomas Dohmke (@ashtom), GitHub’s Chief Product Officer" according to their blog post). It doesn't imply Github now reports to another division or group inside Microsoft.
No, in software terms, he's saying that is somebody comes and tells you "Software that has enough spaces, never crashes", and he "happens" to be selling the "Extra-spaces-adder" IDE, then maybe don't believe him...
Historically in Germany kings would use Jews for their business skills and when they needed money they’d kill/banish them and steal their accumulations. Nazis just perpetuated that cycle but instead made it more racist and eugenics based rather than pragmatic as their ancestors did. They did not understand the cycle of history.
I think that'd be hard to navigate, as far as negotiating with the services you're re-selling. For one thing, they're services, not one-off purchases, so it requires an ongoing relationship. For another, lots of these companies' paths to profitability (well, actually selling out to a BigCo, but whatever) hinges on "owning" the user to steer them into future products, or, for the ones that aren't doing that, they'd have to fear getting edged out by other bundled services applying that tactic against their product.

> People know about it and have decided not to teach it

Generally teachers don’t (can’t) individually decide this. Decisions about what to teach have incredible historical inertia, and are largely decided based on what the teacher learned when they themself went to school decades ago, what everyone else is teaching, what materials are easily available, what notations are used in past literature, etc. Substantial transitions in the teaching of existing material take generations.

In 2020 our basic math/science curriculum and pedagogy in high schools and universities has all been pretty well statically fixed for 50+ years (many parts are unchanged in 200+ years), except in computer science where some of the basic ideas are newer than that, and in graduate-level courses that get closer to the cutting edge.

The place where geometric algebra has seen most rapid adoption is in computer programming, where code actually has to work, and a more effective formalism makes correct code easier to write and reason about, saving a ton of time and effort even for basic examples.

Even in physics, where a better formalism leads to improved physical intuition and deeper conceptual understanding, a transition is an uphill struggle, because symbolic fluency with geometric algebra takes years of practice.

(Some) pure mathematicians on their high horses scoff at anything that doesn’t advance their own obscure abstract research, which is unconcerned with conceptual obstacles faced by undergraduate students, scientists, or engineers. They can hand-wave a better formalism away with “this is isomorphic to X and Y other structures, so there’s no value in it”.

What's the original title here?
You may have a leadership team that doesn't understand the problem domain, that is, the "opponents" in the rugby analogy. They fumble around blindly, placing their faith in the Process and the herculean effort of the dev team to eventually attain expertise through trial and error which it is leadership's responsibility to provide in the first place, or to hire appropriate experts to provide.

Alternatively, it may be the case that your leadership team is relying on the Process to insulate them from their responsibility to promote the well being of their employees, and from the loss that naturally follows when an important member of a vital team leaves the company. Rather than viewing their team as a resource to be nurtured and developed, they view you as a liability. Such companies instead develop their Process to such an extent that any member's agency and responsibility is effectively zero. Team members act like hamsters in a wheel, spinning endlessly, consuming an infinite treadmill of tickets and producing result units in 3x to 10x the amount of time it would take an empowered, impassioned developer. These inefficiencies are viewed as acceptable, even inevitable-- so deeply do they fear their employees taking meaningful ownership of their work.

Many such cases.

> It just makes CSS easier in one particular aspect, at the expense of others. Like pretty much all tools.

I agree, but what sets PostCSS apart from other tools is its forward compatibility. Which is a reason to opt for it for many people, including me.

At the end of the day most people will benefit from having vanilla CSS knowledge anyway regardless of any layer they prefer to use on top of it. SASS is such a layer as well as Tailwind. PostCSS is just tomorrow's CSS. It is to CSS what Babel is to Javascript. So using PostCSS instead of SASS is comparable to using Babel instead of for example CoffeeScript.

If one deems that tomorrow's CSS as it currently stands is advanced enough to handle "big, engineered stylesheets", then PostCSS may well be all they need. But I don't think there is a single right answer here.

Some folks don't want to be on public transit, including liberals and definitely liberal elites (ie, COVID / crime / dirt / safety / whatever).

There is no middle ground on the green / left. We all have to cram into public transit (I took it for a while, the bus would skip my stop if full, NO ONE took action on the clearly crazy idiots disrupting the ride forcing the bus to stop etc). Ideas like robotaxies are fought. Why? I don't get it.

I'm also convinced many liberals / green folks are either very wealthy or don't live in tougher areas. It seems to be -> you take the bus, while I fly my private jet to talk about climate somewhere.

I absolutely agree with this. My great grandmother had Alzheimers as well as Hidradenitis suppurativa, which I have inherited from her. I switched to a yeast and wheat free diet many years ago to relieve symptoms of HS. Not only did it resolve my HS, but also migraines and many other inflammatory issues. Looks like there is research around Alzheimer's and Dectin-1 signaling which is involved in innate immunity to fungi, including bread yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). It's absolutely insane to me that people eat a pathogen that triggers an innate immune response. A inflammation response to yeast is coded into our cells, if it weren't we'd be killed by unbaked bread. Why then do most processed foods contain it? We're taxing and confusing our immune systems by eating it.
Laptops also come with touchpads and mice and laptops with touch screens are a niche in the first place. Forcing everyone to use an interface that is optimized for a subcase of a subcase is the worst way to tackle UI design.

> What this actually means is that crypto-mining is focused on areas that have hydroelectric power because it's the cheapest, generally.

Hydro is also interesting because it has to output power. When the reservoir gets above a certain level water has to be let out because dams can't handle overflow. That's achieved by diverting water to a stream without a turbine.
> Not sure I understand the hate on tap to click?

Sometimes I start to move the mouse cursor, and then change my mind, after I put my finger down, but before I move it.

This room-for-indecision is totally fine if I'm using push-to-click, but tap-to-click doesn't let me just hang out with my finger touching the mouse cursor.

As a result, if you're using tap-to-click, you are forced to think about what you're doing before you do it. You can't think while in the process of doing it. This means that your finger becomes less of an extension of your brain. You have to keep more private, and inside. You are less embodied.
A 500w crypto miner produces much less useful heat than even the cheapest and most primitive 500w heat pump. So no, crypto mining is always less efficient.
Given the later examples it almost seems like trying to merge everything into CSS syntax, but then the selectors don't make any sense (.html rather than html?) and yeah the way too many semicolons also doesn't make any sense (why do you need semicolons at the end of {} blocks? I can't think of any language that does that).

Can’t an inherited trait be “neutral”? By that I mean it confers neither a benefit nor a detriment? It’s my understanding that the baby toe, for example, isn’t particularly useful anymore. But having or not having the baby toe(s) isn’t likely to help or hinder a person’s ability to reach adulthood and reproduce. There must be a lot of traits like that, right? Like eye color or maybe wisdom teeth. No one (as far as I know) is selecting a sex partner based on whether their wisdom teeth were impacted or not.

I suspect this is going to be a fundamental issue with AI. Far from some idealized 3 laws of robotics, AIs will need to behave like humans to fit in our society. And that will force us to confront the ways in which we don't follow our own rules - indeed can't follow our own rules, the rules being impractical but a convenient fiction to allow us feel better about ourselves.

I love the MBP trackpad except it is way too big: the 2012 size was perfect. I have tap-to-click enabled. At least once a day I have a palm or finger grazing the tackpad resulting in the cursor jumping to another line mid-word, or Cmd-click doesn't work because now it's Cmd-tap+already_held. I've had to learn to twist my wrists outward slightly to keep to base of my thumbs off it, which helps but does not eliminate the problem.

The U.S. was willing to look the other way when NSO was selling its crap to e.g. the UAE, an American ally.

In my opinion, NSO fucked up twice: first, by selling to America police departments, thereby putting it on one side of a partisan issue. Second, by helping subvert democracy in India, thereby pissing off its allies in State. The first mistake made them persona non grata. The second removed the protection their being Israeli granted.
> can comfortably be replaced by a single postgres primary

And lose all the data in a single failure?
Self driving is an interesting paradox. Many of the problems we have with self-driving cars would be mitigated by having a large majority of self-driving cars on the road sharing data and coordinating with each other as a network. Need to merge left in 2 miles? Ask the cars in the other lane to slow or accelerate slightly to provide the opening. Unfortunately we can't simply flip a switch and enter this reality, and we're stuck trying to solve the much harder problem of designing self-driving cars that can ably share the road with other human drivers.
> The new approach can achieve write speeds of 1,000,000 voxels per second, the equivalent of 230 kilobytes of data per second

So, it would take 70 years to fill it. By the time you can fill it we will have RAM with higher density :)
But to what end?

Gathering more data on a problem you don't know how to solve won't give you a solution to solving it. We don't have any evidence to support that current AI is capable of the advanced problem solving the city driving requires.
> There is nothing technical about the replies, nothing hacker about them.

Exactly. The top comment in this thread is just listing some complex scenarios they've encountered and then assuming Waymo haven't thought about it. In reality, there is already evidence of Waymo navigating complex situations and plenty of published research in those areas.
> - How are the patients selected for transplants? Scarce organs are probably not given to patients who have other serious impairments as well.

Even though being healthy helps move you up the list of organ transplant recipients. It would still be really strange if people who got organ transplants were healthier than the general population, who mostly do not need organ transplants.

>- How were the (non)-dementia patients assessed? No formal diagnosis of dementia != no dementia.

But it would be weird if organ transplant recipients were 10x less likely to get a diagnosis of dementia (assuming the same base rates). I would think because of their heavy interaction with the healthcare system they'd have a high rate of diagnosis.

I also have consulted an UMSL cybersecurity researcher who verified my findings. The P-D plans to publish a story about this sensitive data exposure, but we wanted to inform DESE first so that you would have a chance to mitigate the problem.”

> Renaud shared his timeline for publishing the story and asked for interviews with officials from DESE and the Missouri Office of Administration’s Information Technology Services Division. In a second email sent about 45 minutes later, he described the steps he’d taken in finding and confirming the vulnerability.

Believe you have your NY State river valleys swapped. There's not much mining downstate. Most of the the mining in NYS is up in the North Country and pulling excess power of the St. Lawrence River and a dam up there that supplies a fair bit of power to NYS/Canada/surrounding region. There was a study from Wharton recently on the impacts of power prices as a result.
