APL is the language I only ever see around AoC. But it's so impressive too. Like the first part of today's solution is "+/¯1↓x<1⊖x" (stolen from someone on Reddit) and I'm like.. ok, I need to learn this language one day.

Was about to say the same. Last year I went through a huge industry comparison exercise for my former company. Spent 6 months evaluating BI tooling. Every option out there is ridiculously expensive. Looker quoted us at $1M/year, though they were using the sticker shock strategy to get us around a $200K/year price point.

I came away with the impression that BI is simply not accessible outside of enterprise level orgs. So I love seeing tools like this come into the market. You should also check out https://cube.dev - they're much less out-of-the-box, but super flexible for developers.
> ENS's community governance model is superior to this.

ENS is no different and it is just you registering a .eth subdomain (collides with Ethiopia's three letter reserved TLD) in a decentralised blockchain but is on a centralised root with the key-holders sitting on a DAO.

The fact that 'trust' is involved is the vulnerability with these DAOs.
> There's a paragraph dedicated to his views on Jews, and they're not particularly antisemitic

Are we reading the same article? It says 'Evola viewed Jews as corrosive' and that he believed the Protocols of the Elders of Zion were broadly accurate even if they were fake.

I doubt that scanning a Wikipedia article is sufficient qualification to announce that someone has been confirmed an antisemite or not, but I'm sure victims of antisemitism are grateful for your judgement.
That happens in the US as well. Its because they use the test scores as a measurement which weigh heavily in decision making regarding teacher retention and promotion. Some teachers hand out the answer sheet 15min prior to a test for the kids to review.

Your response doesn't account for the vast change in scale and technology since then. I also was clear that these two things didn't explain all of the expansion just that they were examples of things some folks might not recognize are part of the Foundation's work.

As for laying out their plans, there are dozens of wiki pages[1] dedicated to it and every task[2] and commit[3] to the code is public.

What they tell people in these pleas for donations is the language that actually gets people to donate. If folks would donate after reading the Medium Term Plan, then they would promote but instead humans tend to act only when an emotional appeal is made. That might not work for you but testing and experimenting on those ads proves that it does for most people.

It's solved in some [rather left leaning] countries. When you buy land you must put it to use, and if it's unused after X years, it's considered abandoned and it goes up for sale again.

TBH, I think it's a solid model -- buying a finite resource like land merely with the intent to deprive others of it and make a profit in the long term is as unethical as it gets. Though completely legal is most places, of course.
It's relatively easy* research with visually pleasing results, so it kind of makes sense to look into it if you have lots of GPUs and need to publish a paper to justify purchasing them.

* = The general field of GAN, encoders, decoders and StyleGAN in particular has lots of working source code examples in a variety of languages. Plus for us humans, it is really easy to judge the resulting face images. And there's an abundance of curated data sets and pre-trained models. So this is like the ideal best-case scenario for doing AI research: All the difficult and/or expensive tasks have already been done by others.
The few I've read don't hint at much money being thrown at the problem. Books often start by "we know very few about hairs".. not "we have all the data anyone would ever want but the problem is really hard to solve".

My two cents
A lot of these tools are similar. They allow you l to query relational databases, run joins and group bys, and then display the results as either data tables or charts. To varying degrees, they hide or expose the fact that they are just building SQL queries under the hood.

Notebook based analysis is more programmatic. I could for instance pull in a query, apply statistical functions, build an ML model, perform logic, call APIs etc.

I think both have a place in many organisations, but the programmatic side is where there is more potential. Yet another dashboard is a bit uninspiring nowadays.
Sadly someone had the bad idea to connect government funds to DEI initiatives. You have to get rid of that again. This will only lead to very unhealthy corruption and has proved to be quite fatal for those that disagree, nearly every time. At some point only totalitarian equality remains on the table.

That doesn't mean you must answer with the reactionary response, providing members of society with a way for participation is a good thing. But you need to get rid of the ideologues. Freedom and equality collide at some point. There is the freedom route and the bloody route here. Remember, these people are the ones implementing institutional discrimination. There are real racists but they aren't a significant threat and they have no political power anywhere.

Scaling HR? This is HR basics and if its the case they revoke an accepted offer more than zero times then it speaks volumes about mismanagement, less so just burning money by spending hours upon hours of multiple peoples time getting to the point of extending an offer to a candidate.

If basics like this are mismanaged for HR, how does basic operations of other non-engineering functions look?
Obviously you've got to pay for something. You can either increase your compute capacity to process requests more quickly, pay for storage on a queue to regulate flow, or do some kind of internal code optimization to decrease resource demands. All of which cost money one way or the other. Alternately, you go up the food chain and determine the ROI on all the data you're receiving and maybe stop collecting some things that aren't valuable. If they are valuable, then it's a no-brainer to pay what you have to.

I was concerned hugging, shaking hands and kissing would be going away due to the pandemic but it seems to have survived... so far: even if for one year or more it was gone. People were all fist bumping or elbow bumping instead of the traditional hand shake or kiss but now it seems to be going back to kisses (at least between french / belgians / russians for those that I know).

Hand shakes are back too.

Or, well, they were before the Omicron variant.

Because seen that the vaccines either aren't working or are working for a very short duration of time (half the people in ER due to Covid are fully vaccinated), it looks like it's another round of lockdowns / scare tactics. The only clear thing is they're non-sterilizing vaccines: what's not even clear is if they're vaccines at all (I got my shots btw, but apparently I'm in the threadmill now for shots every 9 months...).

I don't know if people hugging / kissing / shaking hands can survive several years of pandemic fearmongering.
> The problem I see with this kind of argument is that whether a health care provider provides abortion services has very little (nothing) to do with the care given to a medicaid or medicare patients.

There's no mechanism to enforce this reasoning. It's whether the agency has the power to do it or not. For instance it could be argued that natural immunity is far superior to vaccines, so excluding healthcare workers with natural immunity from working is not about protecting patients.

> It seems to me like you just don't think medicare or medicaid should be a thing to begin with.

The point about the 5g phones was that like mRNA shots it is "new tech" that some people trust and use while other people fear. I would have thought that a cautious person like yourself would have waited a decade before accepting that they were safe. Setting the phone thing aside though...

What is stopping you from taking the J&J vaccine then? It is manufactured with traditional processes and is the kind flu shot that has been around for 90 years.

I see though from your comment that what might be the root of it is that you resent the mandate. I'll remind you that you have taken many shots much more required than this one. Like many countries, You can't get educated in Canada without a battery of them. They are part of a legally mandated social contract that people (like it or not) will man up and be vaccinated, not just for themselves, but for the good of the nation.

Is that not the very definition of a patriot and first class citizen?

Not if its funny.
I agree. In all likelihood, the decisions were made gradually to improve overall efficiency without losing search volume, but the unintended consequence was to degrade search quality, at first gradually in subtle ways, and then suddenly in very noticeable ways.[a] It's possible no one in the company's executive team has noticed the loss of quality. In fact, they may not think anything's wrong even now.

Don't Sell domains, instead sell a licence to use that domain.

You cannot sell the licence to somebody else, however if you sell the business/website etc, the domain transfers with it.

Sure, there will be a black market, however with the threat of having your domain licence revoked for breaking the licence agreement, I'm sure this will act as a sufficient deterrent.

Kind of like an OS licence, I can sell the desktop and the licence stays with the hardware (aka website), but I cannot sell my OS licence separately to somebody else.
They said "written for". Yes, maths articles written by professors are good, but there is definitely a problem of Wikipedia being over-academic and so not being good as a general encyclopedia. I'm surprised they don't appear to have articles structured by depth (ie academic level). Where there's a relatively comprehensive article that you need at least a graduate level of understanding to read then there's an _encyclopedia_ article missing that targets someone of more moderate learning/intelligence.
Ah this is a good point. So it would literally need to be visible, focused, and the computer likely shouldn't enter sleep mode during the mining process. That's a lot of hoops.
I agree with your sentiment, but the part about third world countries getting adequate access is more complicated than simply lacking access to shipments.

In many parts of Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, hesitancy, misinformation on social media, and lack of adequate institutions is now more of a hindrance than getting shipments.

The more computation happens per 'item/pixel' the less the WebGL-induced overhead should matter, WebGL adds overhead getting the data into and out of the shaders, but the raw pixel- vs compute-shader performance shouldn't differ much.
Everything.

The creation of Israel (largely as the world reacted to the horrors of the Holocaust). The creation of Atomic weapons. The use of total war upon each other. The damage and/or total loss of cities (not just Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but also Tokyo firebombings, Stalingrad, Dresden, Nanking, Manila). The creation of rockets (V2, which directly led to Space technology). The creation of cruise missiles (V1). The creation of Aircraft Carriers.

The rise of propaganda around the world. The rise of ideology associated with that propaganda (Capitalism, Fascism, and Communism). Fascism mostly died out but Capitalism / Communism grew stronger after the war.

WW1, the "great war", was thought to be the defining moment of the 1900s. Instead, an even greater and bigger war was fought that almost completely overshadowed WW1.

-----------

After the war, when peace was finally established, everyone shared in the pain and loss associated with the war.
Gas powered leaf blowers would have to be banned under the law before a government agency can then afford said law. Bit different...
Once you have enough users, you can raise the price and they can't easily flee.

For example, I (regrettably) have a .io domain with my own email, and moving away from it would be super painful. I'd have to make sure that I update my email *everywhere* (or risk my accounts getting hijacked), and even reach out to people with whom I communicate very infrequently.

TBH, I _should_ do it, but I can image that taking around a year.

No, much more generally. Russia recently annexed Crimea and assassinated people in England. China's taking ocean, islands, maybe some of India, makes a lot of noise as if it will take Taiwan. Whereas we (at least used to) try to keep the peace, they seem to simply not give a fuck.
No, it is time we see this evil for what it is.

If you think anyone is getting rich working at the WMF, I can disavow you of that notion. It's just not true. Each of those people is making far below market rate for their respective positions and geographical locations.

As for the language in the ads, it's there because it works. The WMF has tried, many times, language which is less emotional and more objective. It doesn't work. People don't respond.

What you're asking for is to have people donate because of their objective sense of value but that's not how most humans work. The WMF does what works.
Can you suggest one? I'm interested in a gTLD that won't raise its prices suddenly and is of good reputation - so FB and co. won't block it.
"CI servers, AWS deployments, build servers, testing, linting, dev package management, dev system environments, and more are..." - Why can't any distro do this? They already do... People want to be lazy, but if they weren't they would stop adding more abstraction layers. Alpine (host & guest/container) + podman/docker + k8s/nomad + your custom software... Why the need for anything else? And each piece is replaceable in the event of failure/deprecation.
Rules and laws. The virus does not care about these. At all. It does not care about your race, it does not care about your age. It doesn't care about your employment status, gender, religion, disability, nationality, wealth, or anything else. All it cares about is if it can replicate. As we debate and discuss and argue if laws and rules are justified or not, the virus simply ignores everything and does what it has been doing since it existed. The virus does not obey borders and mandates. It doesn't obey leaders, it doesn't obey power. Perhaps the end doesn't justify the means. Perhaps it's time we rethink how we respond. Either way, the virus doesn't care what you think. It moves as best it can.
Every era has its bogeyman that allows the state to justify anything. Communists, drug dealers, pedophiles, terrorists.

> big corporations that want their users to be passive consumers.

Not only that, but having a good-enough universal public school system would completely destroy large companies that extract lots of money from barely-good-enough private education targeted at middle-class families. We already let that model take hold and they won't just let us improve public schools and cause their collapse.
What I find most interesting is the private-sector scenarios and how they're playing out.

I have relatives who work in healthcare and refuse to get the vaccine. They're at risk of losing their jobs because regardless of external pressure, the hospital employing them is incentivized to let them go by the patients. They're a hospital focused on physical therapy, which is does as much elective business by volume as prescribed... And very few patients are willing to work with a physical therapist who isn't vaccinated, so they're simply losing business as word-of-mouth gets around that they don't require vaccines and patients sign up for their PT regiments with other hospitals in the region.

By the same token that the government (absent a law from Congress) perhaps can't force organizations to employ vaccinated staff, the government may have no say if an individual employee is fired because an organization requires vaccinated staff of their own accord.

This would be a good time for Congress to show some leadership and lay down some legal guidelines.

That's a good call, and one I made sure to take into account. Instead of being a perfect 8 ft. x 6 ft. as advertised, the actual dimensions were a bit smaller at 92" x 67", which works out to about 3.96 m^2.
