It's never a good sign when the government mandates the destruction (or abandonment) of usable goods.
You should look at Democratic states. Illinois looks quite gerrymandered as well. I think Maryland (maybe?) was quite bad as well. This is a bipartisan thing. It just so happens that Republicans have the majority of states.

I think a “functional” view of reading is self-limiting — a sort of cargo cult. It’s a shame to spend a lot of time just grinding.

I read about five hours a day (about a third of my waking hours) but have no illusion that it is of any specific value. It’s just a compulsion I’ve had all my life. I don’t consider it any different from others playing video games — not a virtue and perhaps tending towards vice.
Correct, but if we never came up with better hypotheses based on the accumulated results of previous studies then science would have no utility and it would be pointless to perform in the first place. Is that your argument?
I totally agree. We are in the midst of a pandemic which is being tested for (presence, not illness) of unprecedented proportions. This valuable information must be broken down into useable trends, or else we fall into the trap of relying on data that does not match actual epedimiology.

Apologies for the low-effort comment, but this really freaks me out. I had no idea birds could reproduce asexually! That's crazy!

Feels like an unanswerable question, but: could we ever see something like this in mammals? A virgin birth, for lack of a better phrase?
You mean the UK, not Europe in general. The UK is not even part of the EU anymore and has been steering towards authoritarianism for two decades already - together with the US as their closest ally.
This is not an endorsement, but a clarification.

They're allowed to testify in court. They are just not allowed to get paid to do it, nor are they allowed to use their affiliation with the university as credentials when testifying because they are not speaking for the university.
Rust has a similar bifurcation. Most "regular users" of rust will not write macros, for example. Although my impression is that the divide is not as big as C++'s
Maybe because the US vs. Huawei war has had a noticeable impact on laypeople.

I can understand why they remove network equipment and have no problem with that, but as a happy Huawei smartphone user from a non-US country, I'm still pissed that I need to change to another brand (and I don't see anything on the market that is as attractive, by far) because a foreign government decided to cripple this one.

I know, in theory I could go without Google, no one is banning Huawei from selling their phones to me. In practice, that's not feasible when e.g. your everyday banking apps rely on Google services. For all intents and purposes, a foreign government has banned me from using the phones I like. Imagine how many Americans would feel if new iPhones stopped being useful due to some foreign political offensive. This is similar (Huawei was the top-selling phone brand in my country). Thus, many people are interested in this kind of news about Huawei, even if they don't understand what network hardware is.
> In 2003, the entire editorial board of the Journal of Algorithms resigned ... at the suggestion of Journal of Algorithms founder Donald Knuth

That's a great detail for that story.
This can be summarized as "The Chinese Government Supports Huawei" + a lot of appeals to authority and claims of refusals to answer arbitrary questions that US companies certainly wouldn't answer if China asked.

The US government supports Cisco, and its diplomats are used to sell Cisco products. The forced replacement of Huawei equipment is an example of that.

If China were doing diplomacy and passing legislation that made US products illegal internationally, it would be worse than any of the accusations made here against China.

Only if you're already convinced that China and its people are evil, and that their winning an economic war against the US is a sign of the end times, will this reasoning convince you. China has triple the population of the US; it should be doing better.

So I registered for an account just now. Most interesting part was when I had to login. You have to use a Web UI keyboard (i.e. buttons arranged in a keyboard), to key in the password. I use a pw manager, so that would be annoying.

Ended up doing inspect element, and deleting the readonly attribute. That worked. Super weird.

Was this statistic problematic before "it could be used to argue that vaccines are not effective?" Cuz It sure sounds like "change the numbers to avoid denting our narrative".
> It turns out that a standarized low level byte code is the right way to ship cross platform applications

So why hasn’t it taken over the world with Java and now with wasm?

> If it seems like it's not in use today, it's largely because JavaScript has momentum and the majority of web programmers don't yet know how to take advantage of wasm (or maybe don't think they need it).

There’s another possible reason. I’m sure you can come up with the answer yourself.
You are 100% correct. Avoid at all costs but when you need it, well you need it. Usually if you find yourself in that boat the best thing you can do is just understand exactly why you need consensus and ensure scope of data managed in ZK never expands beyond that point.

Oxford Word of the Year 2021: Vax
> First past the post results in a two party system. Nobody can gerrymander that away.

Really?

Consider the Democratic party lock on the US southern states for roughly 50 years after reconstruction.[1] A huge portion of the population wasn't permitted to vote (despite laws on the books being racially blind, most blacks were prevented from voting in many of these states up until the passage of the Voting Rights Act. And even among those who DID vote, a single party remained utterly dominant.

Does this counterexample mean anything to you?

(PS: I agree with you that I'm strongly in favor of changes to our voting system to move away from first-past-the-post and government gerrymandering. But I'm NOT going to claim that single party rule is impossible when there are hundreds of examples of it across the world.)

Non-Technical Skills I Look for When Interviewing Developer Candidates
I've regularly read that the average CEO reads 60 books a year. While I have worked with one CEO that read a lot, most seem far too busy working on business problems to have that kind of free time. Granted, I've been working in smaller (250 people or fewer) companies most of my career, but it seems very difficult to fit in a book per week when you get home at 7:30 or 8:00 and you're playing catch up on the weekends.

Daleel: Story of My Snaps
The book "Daleel" tells us about stories and memories in visual way. The author has collected some photographs from his travel world and with every picture is a story. Even the silence has stories and in these stories I find some things that I want to capture, but not every picture needs camera but a good soul. Tells Author.
Oh man, I'm running into this just teaching my kids to read. English is a shit language to speak natively and then try to read. When starting, words like "people" you read like "pee ah pull" - there are so many words you have to "just know" how they're pronounced and learn that the word you're reading connects to those sounds even though the letters don't connect to the noises you're making.

Where in Spanish, once you know the rules, you can read the language out loud without knowing what you're even saying.

Likewise with programming, a language that relies mainly on symbols takes a lot to learn when those concepts don't even exist in your head. What's a function? An expression? A token? An operator? A scope? The best thing to do is use a language that doesn't make you know all those things at once to get started.

> But the biggest losers overall are those with fixed incomes dealing with rapidly rising prices.

So, non-SS pensioners?

Not: Social Security recipients (it has an inflation-indexed COLA).

Not: public benefit recipients (this inflation is in part a product of temporary increases to aid at the lower end of the economic spectrum).

Not: low-end labor, where prices are being bid up. (And also, often a beneficiary of the previous point.)

https://ento.ai | Senior Software Engineers | Remote | Full-time

Ento Labs is building an AI-first product to make energy optimization in buildings much faster and cheaper as no additional hardware or onsite visits are required.

Energy efficiency is a key driver in most net-zero scenarios, but the reports don't explain how building owners are supposed to understand all of the different solutions let alone prioritize, implement and verify them. To solve this, we (ML) model energy consumption from low-resolution smart meter data and provide a prioritized list of recommended actions to take across a building portfolio. With each action taken, the system improves and documents savings for the building owner.

To take advantage of data network effects, our system is designed to scale horizontally for any number of buildings. We're growing rapidly, now monitoring ~20,000 meters and have helped save ~500 tons of annual CO2 emissions in less than a year since launch. Our company is basically a machine that effectively converts data and code into emission reductions by interacting with the existing energy optimization environment (technicians, vendors etc).

In this role you'll join a small but fast growing team of data scientist, software engineers and energy experts to architect and build out the product in close connection with the rest of the company, customers and partners. Our stack is AWS, Python + Django, Postgres, Redis.

> If there were places IRL where the average person is subjected to a constant barrage of callousness it wouldn't continue to exist, would it?

Is this not why the real issue is related to social media itself, rather than generalised "trolling"? This isn't as much of an issue in niche forums or niche-dedicated social sites.

We are free to make our accounts private, block/sign out/delete/not partake in social media, yet many feel like they are __unable__ to make use of these features.
IRL, you can't always easily escape bullying. Online, you can choose not to engage; yet people continue to place themselves in the line of fire. I think this speaks to a much deeper issue (as you point out) and I'm not sure jailing trolls is the answer.
