I have a great example that illustrates my use of likes/dislikes as a filter.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRCSX-u01eM

The video is titled: "Boeing C-17 Globemaster Jet Crash All Hell breaks loose". It has 2,302,640 views and I took a screenshot of the like/dislike metrics before the change took place. 1.6K Upvoted, 21K Downvoted.

The spoiler is that the plane taking off never actually crashes. It just looks like it will because of the camera angle. The uploader wrote "I made this video to start a conversation and it has certainly started a conversation ..." but has disabled comments. The video is a complete and total lie and the ratio reflected that. Without comments, you have nothing else to warn you about the video. From now on, you will have to rely on the fact that a video viewed two million times only has one and a half thousand likes as a proxy.

Granted, I know some videos are prone to have bad-looking ratios because they are discussing contentious topics. I give those a wide berth and don't immediately dismiss them because they have a 60-40 like dislike ratio.
I think of Steven Covey's "Begin with the End in Mind".

This has been a point of struggle lately in my career; I know exactly the source you’re quoting and it’s paid dividends in my own ability to deliver and manage teams when I was an engineering manager

and yet

I’m finding a lot of frustration lately-having intentionally gone back to working as an individual contributor-with jobs where a leader takes on a massive undertaking of a task, or decides to start picking at a particularly nasty process/business/engineering scab, making it my priority, but giving no guidance on what “done” means or looks like (aka: acceptance criteria). Even when I blatantly, directly, and simply ask.

It’s difficult to know where you stand in terms of an OKR deliverable when you have a definition of “done”, but stakeholders are preventing any kind of hand-offs or closure to the project when they have a different definition of “done” but are avoidant in sharing what it is and where your deliverable comes up short.

Got an open-ear and open-mind on ways to better ‘manage up’ on this tangent.

My friends and coworkers who’ve lived in the US describe pre-school childcare as dystopian. Even when expensive.

If you think of it as 5/(40 * 2) or if you had two kids relatively close together 7/(40 * 3) the math is significantly better. It’s also very telling that caring for kids is not seen as being productive.
I disagree - there's no such thing as UNIVERSAL good taste. My current simple definition of art is something that evokes emotions just be "being there" and not directly or indirectly doing something to someone. No amount of education in classical art will make a person appreciate Obfuscated C Contest. But a programmer will usually appreciate it, just like he would likely appreciate the Javascript WAT video. Programmer humor is still humor, and it can be well done. But it will be niche. Someone else is an expert on trucks and loves the movie Sorcerer (1977). I enjoyed the movie "Tampopo" a lot, but judging by online comments people who can cook well have reasons to really admire it. I dislike rap and hiphop music, and think it's bad, but I still believe there's better and worse rap. Just like there's better and worse anime - but in my opinion the good ones are the exceptions and not the rule. A broken mechanical clock still shows the correct hour twice a day.

So, to wrap it up, I think to claim "good taste" you first need to establish some criteria, define an audience. Because no art works for all people and THAT IS FINE. I think memes are a form of art too. Nyan cat looks crude, but coming up with a similar thing that takes the word by storm - or just a new joke - is not easy. We have different skills, experiences, sensibilities.

In my language, "art" extends beyond aesthetics and feelings. When something is masterfully done, and even goes beyond, it's inspired - we say it's art. But just because opera singing takes skill and is hard doesn't mean you have to enjoy it.
This reminds me of the old performance ads of Oracle where they would show you how everything ran better on Oracle. They used to put those ads at airports, business lounges and the back cover of newspapers and magazines read by non-technical executives like the FT and Economist.

Everyone technical knew they would game every environment to come out with superior results. I suppose it worked. As the top executives buy big system software and ignore the IT crowd who could easily point out the flaws in the methodology of the"studies".

Did conquistadors ever encounter any indigenous people with no immediate access to valuable resources, and if so, did the conquistadors behave in the way this article predicts aliens to behave? Did they simply desire to teach those indigenous people? I'm no expert, but I tend to doubt it. Conquistadors slaughtered children on some occasions, which doesn't strike me as something motivated entirely by wealth.

Is that really necessary to trim every 3-5 years? One could helicopter workers in every 3-5 years.

I suspect that can be mitigated by devising automatic systems that are faster at shutting off the power should there be a break or fluctuation.

Also, wildfires are inevitable regardless.

Most importantly, one has to weigh the (small) issues with power lines with the environmental cost of not doing them.
> The sinister part is that plenty of people, left and right, will defend Google's ability to do this merely because they are "a private company".

People didn't merely defend Google to gatekeep information, they demanded it. A decade ago, Youtube, along with other social media companies, was happy to be pro-free speech. It's not like they have any reason to cut engagement and ad revenue. However, they after two adpocapyses and even the President demanding that they censor more misinformation, they have been pushed into the position of the gatekeeper of the internet. Given that they aren't paid for this position, they will obviously choose most cost effective-route possible, hence why they censor whatever they think will be controversial.
It doesn't fit the narrative that they and the entire mainstream media are so desperate to perpetuate. Allowing the plebs to see unbiased content and judge for themselves terrifies them. Same thing with removing the downvote count. They can't stand to see ratio of down to up votes on content about the current US administration, COVID, etc.

> I'm guessing no exchange was ever made in the history of man without this kind of value comparative, long before the term money was even discovered.

I used to think this as well but it's apparently not true! In hunter gatherer tribes (and probably early agricultural groups) it sufficed for two parties to agree that one was getting the better deal and agree there was a debt. Then in a later transaction the debt would likely go the other direction, as the party in debt for the first transaction overpaid. This cycle seems to have repeated indefinitely if everyone stayed on reasonably good terms. Importantly, the stability of communities was the bedrock of these types interactions. Once communities got extremely large (1000s) or travelers became common place, the kind of comparative you're discussing seems to have become more important.

I'd recommend reading "Debt, the First 5000 Years" to learn more

I was really excited for a stereo pair of homepods but have similar issues and worse - even tho they still appear as grouped, music will often only happen on one or the other.

They don't implicitly convert (though you can still use literals to create them). So yes, specifying Ok and Error string types should hypothetically work for this.
If we are talking of abuse vectors, they should similarly be limiting access to followers and tweets by hashtags. Those are at a higher risk of abuse. I can look up a hashtag or follower list and simply run a bot to selectively reply at those accounts. Rate limited as a bonus too. It is but poorly conceived if that is the reason.
This seems much more about what is "tasteful" to display rather than the link's claim about "good taste" that objectively appreciates "good" art over "bad" art.

that would be a weird idea though. 1/4 TRS female -> magsafe-male magsafe-female -> 1/4 TRS male. i'm guessing it would look like a sort of inline coupler or similar in final design. essentially, it should be totally doable. i look forward to your pitch on Shark Tank, er, to YC, yeah, that's what I meant.
> With regards to the different standards, I agree that French people tend to reinvent the wheel. I have nothing against that but the big issue is that they never look well at the previous attempts

Well not everything as to be from America and in English language. Different attempts are made in different countries and it's true that US attempts tend to stick, not necessarily because they are superior, but because of the general US influence.

It's true that AZERTY is an annoying layout but only because everything is made as if the only existing layout was QWERTY.
> I agree that French people tend to reinvent the wheel.

If their wheel is better, why not?

> I have nothing against that but the big issue is that they never look well at the previous attempts, which leads to crappy alternative standards. This project aims to reinvent the wheel but in a good way!

Great answer, I totally agree!!

I wish you a lot of luck, as I'm a bit irked to have to provide support for weird keyboards! (I hope someone from Germany will do as you did so QWERTZ can also die :-)

> I plan to get this keyboard layout standardized by a standardization organization once it's stable.

Even better! Using standards is a great way to work around many issues.

One last thing: if I may suggest, you should replace the default picture by one with fewer characters: the german β, the spanish Ñ, and the scandinavian character (oslash, ae) may be nice to have, but they may play against you: French users may see them as irrelevant, and cluttering the keyboard.

Trim everything you can, to only have as little extra characters as necessary to support french.

For similar reasons, you may want to unify the blue and the red overlays. I've figured out that the right Alt did toggle the blue overlay, but I still don't understand how to get the red one.

Given that blue and red do not coexist on any key, merging the red keys into the blue overlay may be for the better: you want what you offer to be extremely clear and simple to understand

I would sincerely hope for a competitive AMD GPU for deep learning. But as long as it's a week-long journey with unknown ending to try to recompile TensorFlow to support ROCm, everyone I know in AI will firmly stick with NVIDIA and their production-proven drivers and CUDA APIs.

I wish AMD would offer something like NVIDIA's Inception program to gift some accelerators and GPUs to suitable C++ coders (like me) so that there's at least a few tutorials on the internet on how other people managed to successfully use AMD + ROCm for deep learning.

EDIT: And it seems ROCm doesn't even support any of those new RDNA2 accelerators or gaming GPUs: https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm/issues/1344

So this is great hardware, but absolutely useless unless you are big enough to write your own GPU drivers from scratch ~_~
Yeah which doesn't make any sense, how can you motivate to have two adults full time only to care for your own children. Sure I agree with the parent that "it's nice" but come on, it's extremely privileged. And it's commonly abused in Sweden to take several month long vacations abroad with the whole family, which literally nobody else can do, unless you have children. It's a privilege not available to single people at all.

I've worked for a couple different places now that did not "set a destination through a vision." They picked a destination as a number ("more money" or "more users" or similar) and then built OKRs from that number. There was no real strategy, just local maximization.

But then what does it mean if you didn't hit your numbers? Was your progress along the right path? Are you closer to being able to hit targets next year? Those execs couldn't tell you. Hell, even if you did hit your numbers, it was hard to get any sort of answer about how that tied in to what the company wanted to do next.

Another aside... Portugal law's are actually strict on video recording. For example, dashcams are technically illegal, since they're collecting of personal information (ie: license plates). It's never been an issue for me, and I've always had a dashcam on my car and nobody (including police) has ever commented.

Another example I can think of from personal experience: aerial photography and filming is only legal with permission from the Portuguese Air Force. This is relevant these days because of drone use. Again, not really an issue. You fill out a form online saying something like "I'm going to film in the Penacove municipality from July 1-31st, during daylight hours" and they send you a license.

My experience is that in Portugal there are laws, then there are enforced laws. Sure you're not really supposed to park there, it says no parking. Not a big deal.

Until you piss off an old lady dressed in black. Then the police comes and tickets everyone :-)

Quite the opposite. Our instincts surrounding charity are to help when it won't directly hurt us -- but if everything is commoditized, all charity directly hurts us. A dollar we give to the poor today is a dollar we can't use to shelter our family on a future rainy day. Directly incentivizing against individual action and then insisting on individual action as the only path forward is a guaranteed recipe for continued failure -- which is exactly what we observe. This is a collective problem and collective action is the only viable path to solving it.
