A) The major issue is not the sensors, it's the lack of emphasis of ML training data for darker skin.

B) Even if it were simply physics at play, requiring the use of a system known to have physical constraints against darker skin causing failing grades purely on that metric is still pretty racist.
before getting into your points themselves, the validity of your arguments are based on the merits of your arguments themselves. they aren't any more or less valid because of your status as a minority.

but onto your arguments, I don't think you've listed anything that didn't already exist. again, not to invalidate, but I don't think anything you've mentioned is a result of crypto itself.

regarding alternative liquidity, there has always been alternative investment and liquidity available outside the structured financial industry. private investors or money lenders, often times related to the mob or sketchy individuals, have been available long before crypto, and will continue to be available. often times, alternative investors using crypto to move funds are not much safer or more credible than the mobsters of old.

your second point refers to KYC, or Know Your Customer. this has been a legal requirement in the financial industry for decades, and certainly aren't a result of any innovation or achievement in the crypto space.

again, not to invalidate any of your arguments, but I'm not sure any of them answer OP's question.
> Instead, all branches of math will be taught in an integrated approach focused around applied problems.

This is how it was taught in the (European) country where I grew up. To be honest I was a bit surprised when I learnt about the approach taken in the US and some other countries.
Also your question is phrased in such a way that it implies the only answer to a disease is vaccination.

There is a huge body of evidence on viruses that methods besides vaccines also work. Vaccines aren't the only answer. In fact, this is the only time in science we've said "Vaccines are the only answer, forget everything else we know about protecting the body from viruses" (zinc, sunlight, anti-virals, general healthy behavior)

> At the risk of exposing myself to some more sanctimonious insults

Please leave out the victim rhetoric, which is a very tired and worn tactic; it's just personal attacks in reverse. Nothing in the GP was an insult. If you have a point to make, say it.
You're making the point about _when_ they implemented generics, and I don't care about when, really.

I care about a stable language that can still move and change when necessary without breaking everything behind it, and Go delivers that.

It's non-trivial to design and add a feature as core to a language as generics and make it a backwards compatible release, and you're glossing over that by saying they should've done that sooner.

The matter of timing is one that the Go team has a lot of their own thoughts around, so I would defer to them on that, but as for the quality of their releases, I think they deserve more praise.

Having been through a lot of school and gotten a lot out of it, I am strongly convinced that the current society-wide policy of treating university education as expensive vocational training is a horrible and costly mistake whose main function for the overwhelming majority of students right now is to saddle people with debt. Universities primarily exist to train and employ researchers, and serve a secondary purpose of providing a broad-based education to members of the public. Anything that is useful vocational training in this process is basically an accident, and useful vocational training can be done in a much more time- and cost-efficient way.

I also think the way we test people is set up to be measurable rather than effective, and all this hand-wringing about cheating is an attempt to prop up a premise about pedagogical techniques that simply do not accomplish their goal (and a way to scam universities out of a lot of money for tools like this one). Most of the market for standardized tests is a racket built on market dominance and irrational beliefs about its value built on a (pervasive, policy-level) misunderstanding and subsequent cargo-cult style blind worship of metrics per se

On top of all this, the sheer level of security and privacy violations the school system seems to tolerate for this dubious purpose is ridiculous, and speaks to a deep gap in knowledge about, or devaluation of these things that causes far more problems in our information-driven world than cheating on a dumb test possibly could

I've gotten advanced degrees and consider them to have been overall a valuable experience, but even then most of the education system as we have it was pointless torture, and I probably would have quit school if this nonsense were around when I was in it
> The post was literally about how ZFS compression saves them millions of dollars.

... relative to their previous ZFS configuration.

They didn't evaluate alternatives to ZFS, did they? They're still incurring copy-on-write FS overhead, and the compression is just helping reduce the pain there, no?
>Surely this depends on a lot of societal/economic factors (i.e. a "you do it or don't eat" job market, say) and the evolution of the form factor (size/weight/quality/individual ergonomic options).

I think the former is a way bigger factor than the latter, here. Even on the old first-gen HTC Vive, I was entirely comfortable "working" 8+ hour days wearing one (coding, painting, and sometimes gaming). They've also improved massively since then in weight, weight distribution, softness, and heat management.

I'd say the biggest detractor is how they look (and some other smaller factors like not being able to feel "safe" cut off from your surroundings, but all major VR companies are working on that, too). However, how they look ends up not really mattering much if you're VRing from home, where no one can see you.
Why do you have to adapt to company X? Tell them you can only work for them if they don't use MS Teams. They certainly are not forced to use MS Teams either.

I'm not handwaving anything away. It's just that I don't think all racism is the same.

White supremacy, to me, implies explicit, militant, proactive racism. People who might very well be proud of the fact they're racists.

This story is about a software system that (among many other issues) doesn't work well with darker skin tones in low light. Especially in light of all the other failure modes, I'd ascribe that to carelessness or indiference, mixed with pressure to reduce false negatives at the expense of more false positives. I wouldn't be surprised if training data and/or testing were filmed in an office setting with the amount of light you expect there, and they never ran across the issues with dark skin interacting poorly with the amount of lighting a student would have a home.

I don't really hate NFTs but I'm very critical to (a) the way models of digital scarcity is introduced to digital artist by the blockchain (maximalist) tribes effectively making the whole thing very similar to pyramid schemes as you suggested, (b) carbon emission footprint of Proof of Work.

But to your question, I suppose any work in digital media which is fungible could be reluctantly considered as "polar opposite of an NFT". One could even do better than that and release the artworks under an open license like CC.

C# and Java have very fast compilers. A JIT is generally better for compilation speed than Go's approach, as a JIT only compiles code when it's executed. javac and csc.exe don't do any up-front code generation, while Go 6g/8g does. Besides, I don't think generics particularly affected C#/Java compilation speed.
Arguing that generics are in "the basics" is a little disingenuous, don't you think? Go has been wildly successful without generics, and the designers of the language were quite intentional and opinionated in leaving them out.
Indeed. The future of 2022 is not written. It's good to know what may be coming.

You are correct about the overall state of mind and culture but in practicality poor people in the US also have some security networks. There are all kind of government and charity based social help, including for medication, housing, food and whatnot. You can go to a state college for almost free or very cheap education. It is not that bad as people might think.
It's not a theory in EU at least. It's a fact.

We aren't using cstore_fdw, though we've looked into it in the past. cstore tables don't support deletes or updates, and we still rely on updates for some key parts of our write pipeline. Additionally, we rely heavily on btree partial indexes, while cstore tables only support skip indexes.

I am curious: why can't you redirect your community to a new v3 address? Deprecating v2 onion services has been publicly planned for several years now, and it is being done for security reasons (e.g. name collisions and weak crypto). Honestly, it would seem irresponsible of the Tor community not to stop supporting insecure versions of Tor.

I teach mostly MS students, and at the moment I'm sitting in front of a class taking an exam, so as you might guess I have fairly strong feelings about proctoring.

Basically I think that online evaluations have to be completely different than in-person ones. Proctoring is fairly trivial and non-intrusive for in-person tests - don't open your laptop, don't talk to the person next to you. For big tests in small rooms I assign seating.

Online is different. Basically there is no reasonable way to keep someone from hiring someone on Chegg to do their entire test for them, and the most horrible proctoring software in the world won't stop a determined cheater from balancing a cell phone at the bottom of their laptop screen...

You really need to use a different approach with online assessments, and honestly I don't know if it's possible to use online tests for some of the things that we use in-person tests for.
Online content is optimized for (a) SEO and (b) immediate visual appeal. Most ranking signals are not coming from actual cooks testing the recipe.

Your'e right, I've found some good content online. e.g. Chef John / Food Wishes has great recipes and videos. He also conveys some good tips & technique.
How would that look like exactly? Looking for side projects that could change the world, and this looks like a good way to disrupt search.

If I could marry true copilot with google with maybe some sort of memory garden priority setting for things I come back to often (code, packages, docs, etc)....that'd be kinda nice...

gpt3(like ) + search could be interesting but extremely costly for compute, though might actually be a decent reason to build something on blockchain (all users add compute, get paid for the storage, and gpu usage, one big botnet just to handle search).

Just thinking aloud about how one would presumably pull this off.

Ideally a mind/brain search interface would be nice someday, but the privacy concerns is cringy, but maybe something like alexa that listens while I talk to myself and looks at what I'm typing and gleans from that what I might need in terms of looking up stuff when I'm stuck on a coding problem, or if I were writing a novel, or some other creative endeavor.

Or imagine an ai that continually just monitors the screen, and when I'm having trouble w/ a tool like learning Unity3d or some graphics tool, it can glean from the screen I'm on what help I need and suggest things...

I really wish we did have new cool search tools like these in 2021... maybe by 2030 we will.
usc is a money-oriented pay-for-prestige institution, and most folks know it, which is why it always lags ucla (and others) in prestige outside of the cinema school (even that has been bought, by old-money hollywood). other programs, like engineering, are solid, but suffer from the overall shallowness of usc’s image, as well as the many scandals that have further tarnished the brand.
I'm on the opposite side of that fence. I'm looking forward to seeing what wonderful libraries can be created now that we have generics. It's going to be really interesting to see who's "right". Will the fear of those who think coders can't code and everything is going to get worse outweigh the concise and expressive functionality that can show up in a well crafted generic library?
I get a ton of value out of Wikipedia and I donate annually.

I’ll get downvoted for this pseudoscience, but I sometimes wonder if free will is the feeling of the infinite number of universes splitting and your “choice” is merely which branch you ended up in…
I'm not saying it never happens, but I've never seen moving to AWS (or Azure, GCP, etc.) save in people costs at any tech company with a large resource footprint. It just shifted where the time is spent and who had to spend it.

The public cloud and managed services work great for the most common use cases, but go outside those and you start having to engineer around limitations.

If you have a sizable footprint in any given dimension you're trading one complexity for another.
Hi Jagath and Vignesh,

What you're proposing here sounds like it falls under the Continuous Previews umbrella that we've been collaborating with others to define and refine via the Continuous Previews Manifesto.

Awesome to see others finding the same value proposition in the process. We think there's space for several interpretations of CP and we see value in the implementation you're proposing.

If you're interested in collaborating please reach out.
It's not against facebook's fiduciary duty to allow you to post links to other sites in facebook, so I don't see why this would be different.
You'd fail on the exactly the same time case.
My thoughts too, "living paycheck to paycheck" doesn't sound like it ensures Wikimedia's survival. We'd all be shouting "Save Wikipedia!" if they have a bad year were expenses are up and donations are drastically down and they end up going offline due to not having enough reserve to help it.
You may be interested in I2P then.
I want to be convinced, but your posts don't help.

Three posts up, your only citation was to Wikipedia, claiming 20% of whites were against apartheid. But the paragraph in Wikipedia itself doesn't cite anything. I hope I don't need to say: Wikipedia is not in and of itself a source. Either they need to cite some sort of an underlying source, or you do.

The post I'm immediately replying to has one citation to a source about Black ownership of land. That's not what's under dispute here.

Can you provide some actual sources substantiating the claim of what percentage of whites actually did (or did not) support apartheid? Otherwise your posts are pure rhetoric.
I'm not interested in being sold libertarian ideology. I want someone to defend cryptocurrency on its nonpolitical merits. What can it do for me?
I remember Ed's Diner in Soho going downhill! One of the great malaises of the UK high street is that almost every mid range restaurant chain is owned by PE. They buy an upcoming chain, expand massively using debt, try to sell at the top and if not when recession comes they cut costs to make the experience awful and then go bust.

I think we probably mostly agree on the whole brands thing. My point was really that P&G / Unilever are probably better than most in practice at being decent stewards of the brands they own.
There is still an economy of scale. You are right, as you use more resources your economy of scale will increase, but it will never match AWS's (unless you are huge). So the math is if the AWS margin is less than the difference between the two different economies of scale then it makes sense to run your own datacenters (ignoring the opportunity cost of the transition costs). Of course at some point the margin will exceed that difference, but depending on what type of infrastructure you need it can be at a very high point.
Wow you're very confused. No time to unpack all the errors in your thinking, but may I propose you bookmark this post of yours and set a reminder to look at it again in say one year or three? Thank You
Yes, but any type of memory decline linked to immunity decline would be interesting, as memory performance is known to decline in older adults, who also have a decline in immune function.

What’s really interesting, thymus involution becomes more or less clinically relevant just around the time cognitive performance begins to decline.
There is also the (missing) requirement to make things easily repairable, I wouldn't mind at all to replace a "subsystem" if it was easily swappable and costed a fair amount and the old one was refurbished.

Many years ago there was an Italian maker of (at the time CRT's) TV's which was considered on one side "cheap" but on the other "simple/indestructible" called MIVAR.

Their TV's AFAICR were essentially made of 6 or 8 electronic cards/PCB's on a sort of backplane of connectors.

You brought the (not working) TV to the (approved) repairman, he would open the back of the TV, identify which card had issues, and replace it in like 5-10 minutes, for a fixed price (depending on which card had to be replaced).

Then the cards were sent to the factory where they had a laboratory to diagnose the issue and replace just the component(s) that failed, and these refurbished cards were sent back to the repair shops.
And then Dropbox shifted kinda back again, at least partially [0], it’s interesting to see the ebb and flow :)

I scan everything into PDFs using Scanbot or SwiftScan or whatever that iOS app is called this month. It gets dumped into a Scanbot folder in iCloud Drive. Why? So I can access stuff from my iPhone.

Same thing with PDF statements, invoice, receipts, etc I receive via email or whatever. Goes into the giant folder.

Most of the time, I don't even bother renaming the filename to something useful like "Auto Loan Statement". The handy thing that Scanbot does is OCR the scanned content, so I can use macOS's Spotlight to easily pull up whatever I'm looking for. It works really well and I don't worry about it, anymore.

At some point, I may get an itch to run Spotlight queries and start dumping stuff into organized subfolders, but that itch hasn't come yet.

The one thing I break out into an individual subfolder are my yearly tax docs.

I've never been able to stick to an organizational plan involving renaming files with ISO dates (but in fact, Scanbot renames it with ISO date automatically) and organizing stuff into sub-folders. You're a better (wo)man than me, if you can stick with that, though.
