Yeah it’s weird to me - spotify has basically all of the world’s music. Why does it insist on playing the same 12 songs on repeat when I listen to anything? I enjoyed those songs the first hundred times they were played. How do I get out of this recommendation engine jail and get some variety? Here’s a feature I’d love in spotify: no repeat workday. Once activated, unless I explicitly play a song again, spotify is banned from repeating any song within a 24 hour - 2 week period. You know what has this feature? The radio.

Is Apple Music any better?

YouTube has the same problem. It seems to insist on recommending the same 3 rabbit holes every time I visit the site. I know there’s more stuff out there I’d love that I’m not seeing, that I don’t think to search for. But I have no idea how to get YouTube to show me any of it.
I think this is another one of those (sub) threads based on a false premise. Shielding on spacecraft and the ISS is totally a thing, because there is a clever way to make practical armor that is light weight. The keyword is "Whipple shield".

I feel you here, but you're not making a principled argument. You're appealing to a fundamental right to free speech, but that just doesn't fit the situation.

If we're going by intent, YT's statement is that people seem to be biased by the rankings. Taking it at face value, they want people to think for themselves, and not pre-judge the content based on what previous viewers thought. That sounds like a good thing to me. That said, I don't consume youtube except when my kid watches minecraft stuff there, so I couldn't care less what happens to/on the platform. What I care about is the legal mechanisms in play -- and your suggestion is quite alarming from that perspective.
I disagree. The function name gives context as to what they're meant to represent if you understand the convention. One of the conventions in mako is something like:

int btc_tx_import(btc_tx_t *z, const uint8_t *xp, size_t xn);

This function deserializes a raw transaction of `xn` bytes at `xp` and stores the result in the transaction `z`. Zero is returned on failure.

What would be the alternative here? I suppose I could rename `xp` to `data`, `transaction_data`, `raw_tx_data`, or something like that? I don't think it adds any value and it just takes up extra space, making the code less readable.
What about it? Since the major sink of methane in the atmosphere is by reaction with OH radicals, the NOx emissions from ship travel leads to a net global cooling, according to Wikipedia.

The main threat of NOx is to the respiratory tract of mammals, very few of whom find themselves in the middle of Pacific.

Isn't desensitization a coping mechanism? I understand these to be one and the same. Surgeons have "gallows humor" too, as do EMTs. People who see awful stuff a lot build up mental defenses to it, like joking about it. The effect, not being impacted by the stimuli like other people would be, is called desensitization.

> Black comedy is common in professions and environments where workers routinely have to deal with dark subject matter. This includes police officers,[36] firefighters,[37] ambulance crews,[38] military personnel and funeral directors,[39] where it is an acknowledged coping mechanism. Outsiders can often react negatively to discovering this humor; as a result, there is an understanding within these professions that these jokes should not be shared with the wider public.[37][38]

I work in finance and I absolutely love it. We're pretty big. Half the work is regulation, especially in places where corruption and crime is rampant. But we still get to make cool products.

I think the trick is cutting down overhead because there's already so much friction inherent as it is. Management skill is essential, as every hour management buys for developers gives back good returns. Something like defensive programming is also a great return on investment as bugs just leads to more processes and chaos later.
If there was a reason to argue about taste, then people would do it, but such reason is unheard of.
Do explain more then. Malice that hides under the guise of incompetence is definitely something a malicious actor would want.
Spotify pays a discounted royalty rate when they can kick you over to random plays. Business over user experience, for sure, although they might say you wouldn't pay them a higher monthly subscription to compensate if they didn't do this.

Can't say why or how they arrive at such a tight list of random options; perhaps it's an attempt to give you something predictable while fulfilling royalty obligations. Maybe it's just broken.

Typescript does have discriminated union types, you just have to use objects with a discriminating property which is a bit less ergonomic than the way those work in other languages. It's done this way to preserve TypeScript's goal of having little to no impact on runtime behavior

I'm not arguing that there's no censorship. All platforms that have user submitted content have censoring to varying extents, including this website.

What I'm saying is that there's no conclusive proof there's some sort of grand conspiracy at work here.

[1] First link says certain types of conservative media is blacklisted. However it's not like there isn't thousands of conservative videos on YouTube.

[2] Your second link isn't really relevant or surprising, unless there's proof that Schmidt somehow took actions to promote Clinton beyond the (imo) very clear media bias towards her.

[3] I'm not saying you should trust these companies - you shouldn't. I'm just saying that there's no proof of a conspiracy and most of these issues are probably just technical underlying. Still shouldn't trust them, though.
When the transactions 'arrive' in the bank's system should be immaterial, as they should be timestamped at the moment the card is swiped, matching the date and time the printed receipt I am handed has.

Regardless, the bank's mission is to make money, and they can make a lot more of it by adversely reordering transactions in their favor, it is not at all a reach to assume that they do so, and in fact have done so and may well continue to.
It sounds quite similar except it hasn’t solved the problem that Lightning has—participants can broadcast old states to rewind history.

That would be a specious argument, then. The failure of Medicaid in this article isn't a failure to get coverage for someone on Medicaid; it was a failure to even get accepted into the Medicaid program in the first place.

They might be politicized internally, but they don't give a crap about Trump vs Biden, or red vs. blue.

UK, Brazil and India have right wing govts, do you really think they would suppress real cures and destroy their economy and popularity of their leaders and parties due to lockdowns, hospitalizations, and the dead filling up burial grounds. If HCQ or IVR actually worked, a leader would have mandated it and would have become hugely popular for saving their country from a pandemic that other countries are getting roiled by. Imagine how much more popular Boris or Modi would become, it would literally seal their next election win.

Or maybe IVR or HCQ aren't good drugs against covid and are hyped up for political reasons by some and then pushed by others who aren't capable of properly reading or understanding scientific studies.

This conspiracy only makes sense to people who cannot think broadly, skeptically and logically.
Pre-pandemic it may have gone Zhengzhou-Anchorage and skipped the Korea stop, but pretty much all US airlines are now doing stops in Korea or Japan for their China flights to change the crew. The crew flies Korea-China-Korea and never leaves the plane in China so they don't have to deal with China's covid quarantine rules.
Here in Washington DC, 1.2m$ houses are being sold & almost universally converted to $750k+ condos. To me, it's fairly depressing. We go from nice, expansive, owned houses, to much more partial ownership of a single floor slice of property.

This is a very obvious rapid change in the city. But I think there's a lot of other ways that real-estate investment is taking over property purchasing here, and in general, imo, making housing radically less and less affordable.

Since I'm at my comment limit, replying with edit: yes this does "help" affordability. We do have to expand housing. But a 4 story house (3 + basement) being broken up like this (and losing a bunch of space to an expanded entry-way system+stair well): it's sad. It's real sad. DC used to have a history of making coops- of a couple adjacent houses getting together & building a much larger taller shared-building across the properties. That expanded the usable area. Conversely, rarely is the actual amount of space increased with this current system, and buyers get way way way less space/$ than buying a more out-of-reach unconverted house (whose prices are inflated by investors snatching them up). Rather than simply carve up what we have into smaller somewhat more affordable pieces (building over-produced condos), we should actually expand. This way now: it sucks.
Does this trigger a "stream suspended for policy violations" or some more copyright-specific message?

You haven't really explored what or why the moral hazard could be, so your current comment really sounds like "twitter big, ergo twitter evil".

I was in a car accident a few weeks ago, my car was totaled. Between the insurance payout being super high and low financing rate, I was able to get a new (to me) car that has traditionally been worth twice as much as my old one while keeping my autopayments at the same rate and with the same amount of debt. I could have bought a car that was the same model year as my old one but with about half as many miles and still made about $3000 in profit. Maybe without inflation the number's smaller, but it's still way higher than zero.
As soon as the company starts collecting metrics and sets up A/B testing infrastructure people can just implement whatever they want, as long as they keep improving these metrics. Very often there's no one who can take a look at the resulting mess and decide enough is enough. It's all just self-congratulatory meetings with extremely optimistic charts and an occassional employee complaining about the product being utterly broken and unusable.
Its a good move, never threaten...just do it.

For more details: try playing OpenTTD with cargodist (OpenTTD 1.4.0 and above, roughly June 2013 or later). This is where mail / passengers / cargo will automatically route themselves and plan where to go rather than the default pathing algorithm.

You'll find that the most efficient route is to fill up your trains such that they're full. __Not__ necessarily for individual packages to take the shortest path. In fact, many routes are locally suboptimal (ie: moving away from the destination) so that you can reach a hub.

Sending a train with 100% of cargo down your rail-lines is far more efficient than sending two trains with 50% cargo. Similar issues happen to airplanes, busses, trains, and ships in real life.

"Reputation" in one form or another is often considered in abuse-fighting mechanisms, so it would be surprising if this weren't the case.
Personally I think novelty is specifically a subcomponent of how creativity is judged with an implicit "judged as good or significant" caveat. Novel styles or techniques which are fertile seems to be a sign of this. Fertile as in it may be applied to many other works, especially if the derivatives are varied and creative. Even genres or works not held in high esteem are considered superior to imitators. Although there is some "if treason doth prosper none dare call it treason" to it.

A well executed refinement of the throughly worn tends to get panned as derivative while foundational works have other sins and lack of polish forgiven. For an extreme example take the infamous Leni Riefenstahl - Adolf Hitler's propagandist. She is studied for her role in pioneering cinematic techniques, if her works weren't novel they would be more a matter of study for historians than cinematographers.

Governments can:

-cease preventing density by legal fiat

-support density with infrastructure

-cease encouraging home cost inflation via the tax code, socialized lending institutions, and bank capital regulation

-put in place a property tax systems that encourages the most valuable use of land

-eliminate parking mandates and free parking

-broaden the commutable footprint by building excellent mass transit systems

That’s not perfect but if it’s far from nothing.

I think people going bankrupt with medical debt or outright dying through lack of care would still prefer beauracracy and paperwork to nothing at all.

Besides which, unless you have the best gold plated insurance plans or a mediocre plan and never need to go out-of-network, mindless beuracracy and tons of paperwork describes the status quo of private insurance.

And annecdotally, my father on Medicare has far few issues of that sort than I do on my (above average) employer's plan.
In the end isn't the biggest difference the knowledge and experiences we have gathered over the years? I have no problem writing C# code on Raspberry Pi using terminal and simple nano editor, but I would have to google quite a bit if I was supposed to do the same stuff in Python, JavaScript or C++.

I use these languages every now and then, I just don't have the deep knowledge required to do everything effortlessly and I get frustated by things that people accepted as "the norm" on those platforms. Like the whole depencdecy stuff and node_modules blackhole in node.js, string handling in C++, weird Python syntax etc. People used to these platforms probably don't have an issue with any of this and accept it as a trade-off for some other amazing stuff on that platform that I don't know about and don't appreciate.
The target audience for the "MSM is evil and brainwashing you" line also is fooled because they do not read more than headlines, based on the dialogue right here.
No, #1-4 isn’t factored into rent. Plenty of condos for rent in Toronto that are cash flow negative each month.

Buying and renting are separate markets. Just because housing prices go up doesn’t mean rent does as well.
You mean eliminated jobs. If it's not worth paying for, it's not worth doing.
I've come to accept that Apple applies an "Eye of Sauron" approach to software. Anything they deem newsworthy gets their full attention, particularly if it will sell hardware or subscriptions.

Everything else... gets supported. Kinda. Reminders has always been broken. The Music app works great for subscribers, but everything else in the app feels like it got handed off to offshore interns. Even Finder has problems, and it used to be solid.
> The utility of government exists to cater for the citizens, regardless of who they are.

This is more or less my point. Taxes used for food/housing of individuals is akin to wealth redistribution. It is not money going to a public good/service but rather to individuals via an involuntary transaction. While it may benefit the party receiving the redistributed wealth, it does not necessarily benefit the giving party (though it may).

Therefore the government is not catering to all citizens. In fact, it is actively harming some.

While the Salvation Army may be considered a great charity by many, it seems to fall short on transparency so you are correct in that I would recommend focusing elsewhere for giving.

Edit: it also leads to moral hazard in a variety of ways such as corporate subsidiaries for low wage positions because they know workers will qualify for government handouts and therefore the workers demand lower wages.

I live in Indonesia. The authorized apple service here in Bali is so bad that over the last 5 years I've made at least one overseas trip a year for the sole purpose of getting a MBP fixed by an actual apple store.

On one case I flew to Sydney left it over the weekend. Picked laptop up on Monday. They had replaced logic board. Powered on, full charge, quick test, closed laptop went to airport flew home. Opened laptop in Bali, screen went black, laptop dead. Without ever plugging it in. There goes one return flight to Sydney. More or less same thing happened when repairing in Bangkok.
