> What killed Quora for me was their push towards canonical question/answers, not allowing for any context to a question, ridding it of a lot of the nuance that made many discussions actually interesting

I've stopped using Quora because of that move, too. I remember it was actually done in two parts - first they limited the context (to something like 300 characters, I think), then entirely removed it. Sigh.

The new anti-feature of blending different questions/answer is... one of the worst functionalities I've ever experienced. I guess they're trying to focus on the addict/timewasting audience at the expense of the more balanced one.

I use Arq on a Mac Mini to have last resort offsite copies of my Time Machine backups on AWS Glacier. I must be breaking some proper backup practices, but I know nothing about nothing. Being the guy who knows nothing, I can say Arq is great. It allows you to dissociate the backup software from the backup service, which means I get to have a piece of software I know runs well, and is financed by my 50$ purchase price.
My point is that any top institution - not just limited to the top among private companies - determines who may be admitted to a particular post on the basis of being able to handle the institution's worst elements while still being sufficiently skilled to meet said institution's standards. You'll see this in top schools, top law firms, the higher echelons of certain government agencies, top non-profits and think-tanks, and other such organizations.
It's not just auto manufacturers. It seems literally everything is being designed with a philosophy of "fuck the user" in mind. I cannot think of a single thing more complicated than a concrete block that functions better now than previous versions did 10 years ago, and I'm sure there are some things that work at least as good, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.
>Liberals want facts; conservatives want their biases reinforced. Liberals embrace journalism; conservatives believe propaganda.

lol.

It's been, what, nearly a month since the Rittenhouse trial and I still see liberals hallucinating an entirely fictional series of events about that night ("[his mother drove him across state lines with an illegal assault rifle to hunt down protestors!](https://twitter.com/search?q=rittenhouse%20mother%20state%20...)"), their minds completely impervious to correction even though the facts have been plainly laid out. Of course, this isn't the brand of disinformation that those who demand that the Internet be sanitized worry about even though it's the sort of thing that could inflame the public into locking up a kid for the rest of his life. It's almost as if the entire discourse about disinformation and propaganda was spawned by hegemonic authorities to police and contain populist insubordination.

The author is very naive if he thinks the feature was made open in the older cars with 3G connectivity because of the sunset of 3G as a courtesy for those customers.

Given the context it is far more logical to assume they did not enhance the older cars, but instead, they decided not to cut access while they could because then they wouldn't be able to enable it remotely should the customer renew their subscription.

There are two main strategies in pricing something. Bottom up pricing is where you take the price to create / run the product / service and then add a profit margin. Top down pricing is where you find a price based off the value it provides independent of what it costs to actually make.

Right now you are looking at it from a bottom up pricing perspective when Toyota priced it using a top down strategy. The price isn't from being able to do those two queries, but from the value of being able to remote start your car or whatever.

Treat it like a job. Show up on time and do the work regardless of if want to or not. Set a time you will accomplish your micro goals you've cut up from your macro goals. Have a small treat when you do so. Be patient with yourself.
Thanks for the link, I didn't realize acid rain was as widespread a problem as it appears to be....which actually reinforces my point, in that the emissions that give rise to acid rain haven't stopped, they've just been reduced.

I haven't moved any goalposts on anything, it's just different standards. When someone says "I've solved problem X" one would assume that X is no longer a problem. That's the common assumption. All of the problems you mentioned and I commented on are still problems. The ozone hole is still a major problem that kills people and is affecting our planet. We project it will be closed, but it ain't closed. (And there have been flare-ups of CFC emissions). It's also a problem then once solved (when both of us are dead probably), will require constant vigilance against.

Your post came off as very rosy, like all these problems are solved and are in the past. Not the case.
It was at an airport outside of the city so it was mostly walking through unlit roads, countryside and fields until I got close to the airport.

Honestly, it was kind of fun. I was very tired and a bit muddy by the time I got back to the city, having been carrying my luggage. I had also hurt my ankle a little bit when getting out of the business park - but nothing really hurts in your 20s. Girlfriend at the time had fallen asleep while waiting for me so she didn't even notice I was many hours late.

I guess one thing is it's the UK, so you don't ever really feel too unsafe outside of a handful of areas in a few major cities (speaking as a male). No dangerous animals, roads are relatively safe and people are nearly always helpful and friendly. Felt a bit like when I would get lost alone in the forest as a kid, only to eventually find my way back to civilization after a few hours.

It's so hard to get lost now that I almost miss it. Can't believe I'm getting nostalgic for the time I got trapped in a car rental place...

But there is demonstrable research done inside FB that indicated the harmful effects it had on society. WSJs FB Files has done a good job showcasing that research. There are knobs they can control that could reduce anger and thus engagement, but they have dialed them up. WSJ wrote about that too. FB philosophy is more engagement, however they get it.

I have found my people! The solid black wallpaper reinforces in me the idea that computers and phones are tools, not accessories and it has been revolutionary. I now try to use more and more things in their default state. Vim instead of NeoVim, and an empty vimrc. The shitty fonts that ship with the distros, rather than Source Sans 3. That hopelessly ugly yellow Matlab Current-Section highlight colour. I love them all!

It was staggerging to me just how much easier it was to stop, breathe, take a moment to change my mind about the fact that some config needs changing, and instead just say "it's good enough".
What's worthwhile about the mainstream social networks? The only ones I can tolerate are Reddit and FB (solely because of its calendar features). Instagram and Twitter having more users means nothing to me because I do not care about those people.

It is not overpriced, it is prices according to its supply and demand.

> Researchers are incentivized to write papers that seem impressive (and intimidating) rather than clear and intuitive.

Ah, a fellow economist lol. Lack of clarity is a strategic advantage because (1) (as you said) it looks impressive and (2) it's hard to validate that it's correct.

So many papers contain such elementary statistics mistakes such as survivorship bias, e.g. 'returns to education' is almost exclusively measured by asking individuals who graduated (on average 50% of enrolled students don't) and respond back to surveys (good chance of bias).

Pubs are how you get jobs. It's not about science anymore, it's about navigating bureaucracy for an elite job.
Perhaps whatever competing platform comes along needs to think of how they can "embrace extend extinguish" the incumbent system. For instance maybe on Reddit, a competitor might offer something like auto-syncing a community on the new site with a subreddit.

This comment is really hard to parse.

"homelessness", "pollution" and "healthy" are abstractions that try to capture in single concept a myriad of different realities, and most of us won't have similar concrete representation of what's behind them. This of course becomes an issue real fast because because solving "homelessness" for instance requires separating all these different cases in their own buckets and coming with appropriate solutions to all of them.

Also money is as real as the food you buy with it, the electricity that comes if you keep paying your bills and the factories you buy with them.

I was thinking more about the late 80s to the early 90s.

Games usually were designed with an easy first level and a big ramp-up in difficulty, and yes, you could pay for continues.

No free tier of course, arcade owners certainly didn't want their machines being squatted by non-paying players, but the easy start was definitely a hook, and they definitely played the sunk cost fallacy. After you put in so many coin, you don't want to stop there right? You can put in lots of coins if you are not careful. They clearly solved the "play for hours" issue too, all games I knew had an ending after less than an hour, and you had to be really good to get there without continues.

And sure, the games were meant to be enjoyable, but so are the mobile games. The only significant difference is that you own your phone, so you running the game costs the publisher nothing. Arcade cabinets are expensive machines and owners don't want you to keep playing if you are not paying, so they have to balance their settings so that you don't stay too long on a single credit, but at the same time, make sure you want to come back for more. Mobile games only have the second requirement.

Of course, only talking about video games, arcades often have prize games that are borderline gambling too.

The trend in modern arcades seems less predatory though. You can get 10 minutes of game play for a credit no matter how skilled you are, as long as you select the right difficulty. There is less of the "get hooked on the first level and spend all your coins" attitude. The counterpart is that you won't play for much longer if you are really good.
I've never actually watched Power Rangers (well after my time watching TV on Saturday mornings), but that does sound like a good bet.

This wouldn't be a problem if it just charged your credit card. I do think it should be a cheaper. $0.005 would be a more reasonable price. I would definitely pay $0.1 a day to use all my doors. Maybe like my front door since its more heavy duty would be a $0.05 / use door.

Progressive democrats may not be against space travel itself, but they are certainly against billionaires and corporations with large market caps.

Yeah, I kind of thought that too as I was typing it, but it's so egregiously bad that I couldn't get around that conclusion.

>You have the same exploits in commercial software

Sure, virtually all software is susceptible to exploit. But, if someone were sending unsanitized strings to a database, and without using query parameters, etc., then we would all agree that's inexcusable after all of these years of knowing better.

IMO, this is in that category.

It's easy to say things are obsolete when you are your own publisher (Victor, Wolfram, Perez) or when can suggest your favorite (even if it's very cool) approach (Jupyter Notebooks) as a potential key solution. If you can't be your own publisher, it's a much more difficult proposition.

We're trying to figure out how to facilitate taxonomists publishing their own taxon pages, i.e. species descriptions, from a science 250+ years old. Our MVP use case is ~20k pages, one per species, for one project. There will be many of these projects, though maybe not many with 20k pages, and some with much greater than 20k pages. Updates are needed with as little latency as possible with data from from multiple sources. There has to be basically zero cost to serve these (I know, nothing is free). Sites must be trivially configurable (e.g. clone a GH template repo and edit a YAML file and some markdown). Even if we can get this in infrastructure in place we then have to figure out how to get the social structure in place to have this type of product recognized as equivalent to traditional on paper publishing, i.e. advance people's careers because they "published".

In my field, until we give people the power to publish on their own, I don't see traditional publishing go away. Many in the past have indeed published (traditionally) their own species descriptions on their own dime, meeting the rules within the various international codes of nomenclature. I also don't have a problem with dead wood- if we go digital too fast we will loose so much for any number of reasons associated with the ephemeral nature of electron-based infrastructures.

My experience with today's cloud arm offerings (gravaton/ampere) is node.js overperforms on arm relative to benchmark scores. Crypto has a definite handicap on arm. I've found that AMD underperforms on node.js. Seems the arm offerings are slanted to integer style workloads.

Other packages and databases have brought me pain to use on arm. And anywhere I encounter pain I just don't migrate.
step 3 — quit reading twitter
thanks for catching that! this was a typo, fixed now :p

Using this as example, here's how an insight like this comes about:

- user downloads data from different sources to device

- We use activitywatch (https://activitywatch.net/) to know what activities I'm doing on the computer + when it happens and auto categorize into different groups (e.g neurotech, angel investing etc)

- Exercise/high intensity training data is obtained from Oura ring (https://cloud.ouraring.com/docs/activity) - e.g `activity.high` (number of mins of high intensity training in a day), `activity.met_1min` (metabolic equivalent of activity in 1min granularity) variables

After pre-processing, we combine these features (amongst others), and the calculate correlation matrices + conditional probability to see the impact of given variables on desired outcome.

It still pretty early days and we hope to generate higher signal predictions from aggregated sources trying out different modelling techniques.
While still unknown, issue 2 is hard to imagine breaking the whole plan. TPS were used before - Starship is bigger than Shuttle, but the principal possibility is solidly here at least. Again, it's hard to imagine Elon explaining in half a year the absence of launches by the inability to invent a good attachment of TPS. Let's wait and see.

Regulatory issues may have a hiccup on the frequency of heavy flights - liquid propellants in Starship don't have infinite shelf life on LEO, so refueling Starships will need to be launched promptly, and that's something which was never done by humanity - the combination of flight frequency and the size of payload (fuel). So FAA may object. Worse, something bad could happen - like a failure of a Starship, requiring attention of designers again, which would temporarily put on hold all other Starship flights. However, even these issues have low product of probability and severity, so Mars flights are still possible soon.

Again, we'll see soon. Now that the wait time to results is compressed from decades to months, we need to adjust to this unusual luxury.
The writers need to be serialized but it's not that big a pain.

I completely understand this reaction, as I also feel... weird at first whenever I see his site. Specifically I always feel I'd like to have space on the sides.

Having said that.... I frequently read his posts, and don't find his lack of space on the sides (or any other lack of style) prevents me from reading his blog posts.

Is there any specific reason why we feel this 'weirdness' from the lack of style beyond a built in expectation we all have about styling that we've seen in other sites?
