> So is a dollar you pay in taxes,

Nope.

My neighbor has to pay it too, and it's my neighbor that I'm bidding against for assets.

The world is full of zero (or negative) sum games that can be overcome through cooperation.

> We observe continued failure because people think that they have already paid to help the poor

Yes, my parents keep giving money to their church. I grew up there, I've seen what their charitable efforts look like. That's why I so strongly prefer programs like food stamps.

> Basically, what you're saying is that you don't want to do the work yourself

I already do -- but statistics are a thing, I know that I'm atypical. You know what sucks most about writing that big check to GiveWell every year? It's not the idea of devoting some of my work to a good cause -- that part feels good -- it's knowing that others won't, and that they will have an advantage over me as a result. Working harder for a good cause is one thing, getting a kick in the nuts on top of that is something else, defending the idea of rewarding charity with a kick in the nuts is something truly special, in the extra-chromosome sense of the word.

I believe that incentives matter, and I believe that fixing incentives is how we get out of this. We fix the incentives by making sure that everyone puts money into the pot.
Can confirm from personal experience. I've been strictly eating a very low carb diet for almost four years now and require significantly more salt than I ever did previously. I also drink a lot more fluids. The only downside is that I need to pee more often but the upsides in my health, fitness, energy levels and even emotional stability have been so dramatic I've stuck with it for years after it helped me go from obese to well below my 'dream' weight goal.

Not entirely true. There is a bi-directional Spark connector for Snowflake written by Databricks. And exporting your data in bulk out of Snowflake into any number of open formats is incredibly easy using the COPY INTO command. You can also use Snowflake on top of Parquet and even Delta Lake.

This is the problem. Both Snowflake and Databricks are spreading FUD and otherwise smart people are falling for it.

In this specific case, what element is active is made clearer (active tab is completely set off from the others), and I don't think there is any confusion on wether you can click one of the inactive tab name to make it active.

The change is only on the delimiter line between inactive tabs, and you still have space and each favicons between them, it's not like they all magically blended together. I actually didn't even realize the line disappeared until seeing this post.

All in all, new design can look good or bad, but this specific one has sensible trade-offs and functional advantages, which is to me far from just following a random trend.

Very true. You have to understand the actual capabilities and your actual requirements. We work with petabyte size datasets and BigQuery is hard to beat. Our other reporting systems are still all in MySQL though.
I don’t see space force as saber rattling. They’re not doing anything that the USAF wasn’t already doing, it’s just a more logical separation of missions.

I did a quick google search for articles about ivermectin overdose but all I found was there's been an uptick but it seems overexaggerated. This[0] one shows there were 21 people who called in about ivermectin, it's only one state but still doesn't seem like a big deal. There was another story about a Mississippi hospital[1] where 70% calls were about ivermectin but then it turned out they meant 70% of calls about ivermectin (not total calls) were about the animal version. This article [2] includes Minnesota which saw <100 calls and people having overdose symptoms but no one dying.

Treating covid with ivermectin does seem like a bad idea, but it also doesn't really seem that dangerous overall. I'm sure there are deaths out there from people overdosing on it but they seem like a really rare event.

Apples compliance in China applies to Chinese customers only. They would most likely be less willing to comply if it meant compromising foreign customers. As lucrative as the Chinese market is, losing the US market would be sudden death for Apple.
That does look really good, thanks!
I dunno, that page looks like 110% received wisdom. It's "clean," "inviting," "streamlining," and so on. All positives, sounds like every change listed is awesome!

"Good design is invisible. So if things just work, you don’t really think about it."

Ah yes, and if you can't see the benefits of a change, that just means you're blind to its invisibly good design.

"Bookmark bar – About 5% of the clicks go to the section where people bookmark their frequently visited place"

"5% of the clicks go to the thing we haven't touched in forever and have actually made worse over the years. Naturally we're going to continue this strategy of fostering attrition until you only ever go to the sites listed on your new tab page (which we're watching how much you use)."

It's all basically that, more of doing whatever they want and calling people who don't like it wet blankets. I still don't know why they changed to that supremely unintuitive "sliding panes" menu design. Ah, such is the cost of being on the cutting edge with my ESR installation.

That page says they "put a lot of thought into it," but I haven't seen where that thought might be reviewable, because I'm skeptical that a lot of thought went into this. A lot of thought may have been how to counter criticism, but that's not the same thing.
> but will it hibernate

I can't be the only user who just doesn't care about hibernate.

I definitely understand why other people want it, but I find suspend and hibernate almost disorienting.

I don't want to continue a session where I left off. I'd start it back up, forget what I was doing anyway, and then I'd likely close all the programs and start over, realizing how amusing the effort I'd just gone through was.

I'm willing to admit it might be a personal problem.
For those who, like me, aren't up on the latest "best practice":

"Objectives and key results is a goal setting framework used by individuals, teams, and organizations to define measurable goals and track their outcomes. The development of OKR is generally attributed to Andrew Grove".

Then don’t. You can continue denying common sense. But if someone threatens to assault you with a skateboard, bare hand or an item from your desk, then will intuitively discover the difference.
I don't like it because the click area doesn't line up with the visibly-highlighted area, even on mouseover. The actual button extends beyond the highlight in every direction. Because the borders are visually indistinct, I have to aim for the center of each tab when I want to click instead of being able to confidently use the whole active area.
>Since Rittenhouse was walking down the middle of a wide brightly-lit street towards a line of cops, it is probably not the case that those yelling "stop him" merely wanted to make sure that Rittenhouse did not escape legal accountability (for Rittenhouse's shooting minutes earlier of Rosenbaum).

Considering that these were protest against the police, it's not reasonable to assume that the people present had any faith in the police force, no.

>someone hit him on the head with a skateboard and grabbed his gun

Hit him on the shoulder. And after watching the video about ten times, it's looks like he stumbled and landed on Rittenhouse with the board, rather than actually swinging it. Unfortunately, we only have a few frames blurry video and Rittenhouse's word on the matter, since Rittenhouse shot and killed the man immediately.

edit: It looks like you edited your comment after I opened it to respond to make it more factual. Most of what I said above still applies, but I will point out the fact that, by your own admission, Hubor was attempting to disarm Rittenhouse "in the same motion" he made contact with his skateboard, but you insist he was at the same time swinging for the head show just how much opportunity there is to twist the facts of the case to suit whatever narrative you want to spin.

Lacking emotional intelligence to explain my motivations is something I’ve struggled and worked to improve my whole life. But it doesn’t make my motivations invalid. Just harder for you to understand.
Nothing deserving of jail time happened here. Maybe we should also start jailing people for parking wrong or driving slowly on the left lane?
"The wanting to shoot shoplifters statement still feels very relevant to me, despite you ignoring it."

It is going to sound like a very radical position, but burning a city to the ground does not sound like mere shoplifting to me.

That a kid may have said something stupid is a possibility, but you can throw a rock in this crowd and find examples of speech that is not exactly bolstering their cause. In fact, if you do end up going through court records, you will find defense quoting one of the 'victims' saying some of those stupid things. There are no good guys here.

BUT.

There is a clear case of self-defense. And that is all that matters. If I can't defend myself from a mob going at me, something is wrong with current society.

I think a lot of big corps try to emulate each other aesthetically, to an extent. It's not because they're in love with themselves or collude in the way we'd imagine, I think it's because they are afraid to risk making a dud doing something different, like the Microsoft Kin or Digg v3.

Here's a good example: Check out all of the small SUV's you see now, they're all elaborations on the same shape and form. I think this is by design, in that deviating from the norm right now is not something that is rewarded, but giving something visually 'safe' that hits most of the needs of their customer is acceptable.

Typically I am against censorship and false narratives but I do wonder about the panic or rioting that would potentially occur if certain “conspiracies” are publicly accepted.
the last paragraph made me realise, i indirectly owe my current, amazing job to that. i was on a team at work which was fine, i wasn't hyped about it or anything but my boss was good and i had found an interesting subarea of the product to work on. then i got taken off it and moved to another product that absolutely did not motivate me in any way. stuck it out for a couple of quarters, finally talked to my boss about being put back on the old product. he talked to his boss, who said no way, we need people working on the new product. that finally gave me the kick in the pants to apply to change teams to work on something i was really enthusiastic about, and i've been here ever since.
I'm not sure why you claim to know the mind of "most people" but another looser definition is just hands-on parenting, which can be authoritarian as in your usage, or authoritative, as in this case.
Bluetooth keyboards are pretty common. When I was using one with an Android-based set-top box, I really missed having keyboard shortcuts in Firefox.
Complexity I don't have to deal with doesn't exist. Only if I really don't have to deal with it. We use BigQuery to report on 100s of terabytes of data. Behind the scenes it is massively complex. I don't have to deal with it. It's not meaningfully complex for me.
A lot of that, and over here in Germany there's even a weird bag shortage. Super markets running out of plastic and paper bags, in some places even McDonalds has started to use unbranded white paper bags.

Same supermarkets are now also mentioning "inflation" as part of their weekly discount brochures, which is not something I think I've ever seen them do before.
Refrigerator size suggests to me one of the very early models, which in fact could have been much more problematic than any of the latter. I seem to recall being warned in case of "free to good home" 3600 about how delicate it was.

I will add that 32 bit version compiles quite nicely on arm. It's also what made me try something with this structure.
https://godbolt.org/z/abd79sEh1

As for x86/x86_64 processors compiling with a flag like -march=broadwell will remove quite few movs from the compiled code since the RORX instruction will be available which can take two register parameters, and a constant. Unlike the normal ROR instruction which is just a register and constant or the CL register for the rotation amount.

Now compared to functions that use multiplication. Multiplication can mix bits quite quickly. If the hardware multiplier is fast I don't think it would be faster with than fnv1 considering how simple that function is.
It might be the tap-then-drag delay — I've been using this process for a few years so I know it works but I haven't seen it documented anywhere by Apple so I'm probably using different terminology.

the head of HR thought that the company's ~5% attrition was "unhealthy" because it was too low and in another, HR thought that the company's attrition sitting at a bit under 10% was too low

Can someone explain to me why fewer people quitting is seen as an unhealthy metric?

Retaining employees seems like something companies should want to try to prioritize above all else, especially in this market.
Is the thought that things like Monero, ZCash, etc., will be eliminated, or that they don't provide the anonymity that people think? What about the CCs that choose to implement Mimblewimble?
> But many effective interventions cannot have their impact demonstrated ex ante in any simple way because, among other reasons, the composition of the team implementing the intervention is important, resulting in a randomized trial or other experiment not being applicable to team implementing the intervention other than the teams from the trial in the context they were operating in during the trial.

This sentence really confused me, and I spent a couple of minutes trying to parse it. For anyone else reading, I think "not being applicable to team" is supposed to say "not being applicable to teams".
Doesn't the clutter hinder?

To be honest, this comment is a perfect illustration of why Dan had to write that essay. Some people can't see beyond the obvious, and if the obvious is "this guy is stupid", well, you better not be afraid to look stupid.
Going to take it a few steps further. Now we're targeting a specific person.

1. CCP needs to hack shipping label system to track a specific person (DHL/CCP shipper/Fedex) which method? We need to interject against them all.

2. CCP was waiting for this person to buy a Macbook Pro?!

3. CCP was lucky enough that the exact model was back ordered via China shipping routes. We were lucky because normally they could just walk into any Apple Store and buy it and walk out. No ability to target a specific person.

4. What if the target "returns the laptop?!" Our years of hacking setup didn't work.

There are insane amounts of difficulty for this target vector which make it effectively impossible to go after a specific person via supply chain, specific order.

So we're back at mass surveillance. That doesn't work because given enough people, someone pen/security check the laptops coming out. Apple will recall.

Old supplier was City of Detroit (Lake Huron/Detroit River water), new supplier was themselves (Flint River water), eventual supplier was regional municipal corporation (Karegnondi Water Authority, Lake Huron water).

Detroit cut off the water, seemingly out of pettiness, with a year of warning. They did that after offering lower rate though.

That's where the major shipping hub is, I assume the plane headed there is bulk loaded to the gills with pallets of Apple products, and then it gets broken up into smaller shipments for specific cities like Portland. We probably don't have enough products destined here on a routine basis to justify an entire plane of Apple products.

> This is why you never, ever take anyone seriously who thinks of society like a model.

I’ve never understood these critiques. If you want to study society, what’s the alternative? No matter what, you have to make a model of some kind. Yeah, some models are simplistic, but maybe they can capture the high order bits of the phenomenon they are modeling, and at least you are committing to an idea you can codify, find fault with, and improve. The alternative (never making models) seems to be a type of intellectual nihilism.
In my opinion, given the application is cryptocurrency, reimplementations are pretty valuable. It’s important to avoid systemic failure due to a large percentage of nodes having the same exploit or bug. A fully featured reimplementation like this is really great for Bitcoin!

Depends how good your hiring is. At the places I've worked, I'd want to see 0.1 (involuntary) attrition at least, given that mishires happened 1 in 10 to 1 in 5 times. A low attrition rate in the context of lots of mishires means we're not firing people quickly enough.
Economic reality should surprise no one. Price controls diminish supply. Worse price controls cause worse supply shortages.
Is the brand that bad? I guess they won't be around for much longer.
Some of the most capable people I've ever worked with have been "bursty" in that they would go through intense periods of high value output and then need to almost go dormant for a while to reset. As long as the "high value" phase was uniquely and significantly valuable it wasn't a problem so long as management understood and planned their assignments appropriately.
For what seems to be a fairly organized system, they still have not figured out how to not have the compartments smell like stale urine. I am not even joking. The moment you step into a compartment even the air-conditioned ones, the stench of urine is unbelievably strong. This has been this way since 2000s. Such a shame for a system that could be so much better.
This is not the right way to look at it though.

Bitcoin is not an alternative payment system. People keep getting confused on this point, partly because of how bitcoin was marketed in the early days (there obviously is no marketing team, just passionate people telling their stories about what they thought it was).

Bitcoin is the bedrock of an alternative monetary system. Visas and AmExes will be built on top of it, just like they are built on top of dollars.

And the analogy is not Visa competing with AmEx. It's the dollar competing with the Renminbi or Euro.
It implies that the company isn't pushing their employees hard enough.

In otherwords, if managers are doing their job "correctly" they should either (1) be pushing their staff so hard that 1 in 10 of them quit every year (2) weening out the the poorest performer.
I have said it at the very beginning of this case. As much as I hate cameras everywhere, this is the one time, I am so glad everyone can see exactly what happened. There is no 'he said, she said'. We can all see what happened from multiple angles ( including FBI drone ).

If that is the case, it goes down to the 'narrative'. Was the Kyle a poor kid trying to get away from vicious mob and killing in self-defense, a blood-thirsty vigilante with ties white supremacist movement, or something in between?

A lot of people have already decided. At this point, I am just waiting to see if the jury upholds the right to self-defense. If they don't, riots next year are bound to be much worse.
I feel you. The illegibility of UI elements are a pet peeve of mine. I don't mind the aesthetics of a modern design so much as the illegibility it usually brings.
