Apologies for directly contradicting you, but it's false that Google don't delete. Google do delete in a timely fashion (which is required by law in many places!), it's just that for technical reasons, it becomes unavailable or possibly also crypto erased* first.

On an aside, such a setup is also a layer of defense-in-depth protection against a certain, uncommon class of bugs.

I do work for Google, but don't, in any way, speak for the company. All of the above information can be found on the internet, eg. https://www.quora.com/Does-Google-really-delete-the-account-... about Google accounts themselves.

What a great way to describe libertarianism in a single sentence. The vast majority of their talking points and ideas fall apart quite easily under any sort of scrutiny or contact with the real world.

Company training reminded us, that a leaking Lithium ion cell produces hydrofluoric acid, which if you touch it you need to see a doctor.
I wonder how difficult will it be to increment the major version and turn off all features that can lead to these vulnerabilities.
Exactltly, they are technically possible.

However, you always have the non-technical people who create complete nonsense topics instead of using a matching existing one. And also some disorganized engineers who continue off-topic discussions for dozens of messages.

Switching to a suitable topic when the discussion gets carried away could probably get more user-friendly support. You can edit the topic of existing messages, but there is no completion for existing topics and there is no clear indication of what got moved from where by whom and no simple undo if things go wrong.
There are two schools of thought on tort liability.

1. Fault should be assigned, and those at fault should be paying for the damages to those not at fault.

2. People should be insured against these events, and we should assign responsibility to whoever it makes the most sense to have responsible for obtaining insurance.

If you take the second approach, that party is often the manufacturer. The consumer isn't really in a good position to buy flaming headphone insurance because that is such a rare event that any individual consumer has no idea how much coverage they need.

They could get it covered under their general medical or house insurance, but their insurance companies probably don't have much data on how often that specific issue happens to actually figure out the right price, so it just will get lumped into some general category of unclassified accidents.

The manufacturer, on the other hand, will have data in how often this happens, so a proper price for insurance can be determined. The manufacturer can likely get a breakdown of how often these incidents are due to manufacturing defects, how often they could have been prevented by minor design changes, how often they are due to the consumer doing something stupid, and so on. That can lead the manufacturer to make changes to reduce future such incidents. That would be much less likely if the incidents were handled by health or house insurance.
People rarely get anything right. We do the best we can based on the time- and information available while trying not to bite the hand that feeds us. Fact checkers are no different.

Zuck ofc really likes to feed on things. Getting rid of information is okay as long as it doesn't gets in the way of his feeding. FB fact checking is both expensive and crap but still light years ahead of amazon reviews.

> But even using only good-faith articles as sources, you can still make your propaganda, it will just be harder.

That's what, at their best, most of the media are doing. Presenting well-researched, balanced, truthful stories, carefully selected to promote their own ideology. Forget journalism - this even happens in peer-reviewed science:

Ceci et al. (1985) found a similar pattern. Research proposals hypothesizing either "reverse discrimination" (i.e., against White males) or conventional discrimination (i.e., against ethnic minorities) were submitted to 150 Internal Review Boards. Everything else about the proposals was held constant. The "reverse discrimination" proposals were approved less often than the conventional discrimination proposals. - https://jsis.washington.edu/global/wp-content/uploads/sites/...

Tbh, this sounds like a cry for help. Have you consulted a professional? If it's not a health issue, can I recommend changing your surroundings a bit and make it conducive to reading? FWIW, I keep my phone in 0 notifications mode and I don't have FB/Insta/TikTok etc. In addition, I keep some books and magazines lying around so it's easy to grab a quick read every now and then.

Finally, I have a goodreads reading challenge on and it's a nice kick to keep getting closer to the goal. This year's goal was 22 books and I did it recently :)

> Also, Tibetan Buddhism is VERY FAR from the "most peaceful faith on the planet". The reason why the Chinese were able to take Tibet so easily is because the Buddhist elite were incredibly brutal with the majority of the population, with widespread slavery and massacres. They were absolutely hated. It doesn't justify their seizure but we don't have to whitewash one of the most horrific political systems for it.

These are common CCP talking points, in fact primarily devolving from Chinese sources, which seek to turn Tibet into a nation in need of saving by debasing it into barbarism. Whatever half-invented, invented or factual casus belli the invaders invoked, half a million Tibetans were marched last year into work camps by CCP occupiers. [1]

In terms of historical accuracy, I stand by my claim: the Islamic and Christian faiths each hold a history of violence that squarely puts Buddhism at the top for peace. I do not deny the violence by the Buddhist Brigade and other factions proclaiming Buddhist faiths in Sri Lanka and Burma happening today but on the historical whole, no major faith comes closer.

Sadly it has bit rotted away, but Steve Yegge made a passing reference to my short blog entry on “perlaphobia” some fifteen-ish years ago. Perl had a strange, mystical effect on my generation of developers, truly a frenemy kind of relationship where you need to constantly relearn it and undergo cycles of love, loathing, confusion, and rediscovery.

Y Combinator is hiring for a programs/ops person to grow Work at a Startup
My name is Ryan and I work at Y Combinator. I’m hiring a programs/ops person with a recruiting background to help scale Y Combinator’s hiring platform workatastartup.com, where we helped nearly 600 people find jobs in 2021 alone (and hopefully many people here!)

If you have a recruiting background, this is a pretty unique role: You’ll teach hundreds of founders best practices on recruiting through training conferences and 1-1s. Instead of recruiting for a single company, you’ll be driving candidates at the top-of-funnel for thousands of YC startups. And you get to work pretty closely with our software team to provide input on features (and maybe even design and ship a few!)

If you want to have a bigger impact through YC and/or get closer to product, check out the JD below and/or email resume/linkedin to ryan@ycombinator.com.

One vital thing is to not put your email address in clear-text online, especially heavily indexed sites.

Trolling by some google AI honcho. What's the world coming to?
By that definition if I change the layout of my website and observe if it changes how humans change their behaviour, i.e. how and where they click it's human research. With that definition pretty much everything is human research. Well even if I track where rubbish is being transported to it is observing human behaviour and thus human research.

It remains also hypocritical. If you (not you personally but in general) are outraged by this research as unethical and you are working for companies who do any optimisation of their ads/engagement etc., you are contributing to the same (and arguably much worse) behaviour that you condem as unethical. I call complaining in others about something that you do yourself on an often much larger scale hypocrisy.

I think information is no longer the most valuable thing. Attention is. That said, I too am struggling. The dopamine response to new content is addictive, and I rarely keep the promise to myself to go back and extract the substance from the resources I discover.

There's no reason to believe our "common sense" or "intuitive understanding" has any relevance to how the universe is or isn't.

According to an ant's common sense humans for sure have antennas somewhere on their bodies, even if not visible to an ant.
I agree but the supposing part seems a bigger problem... log4j is not small or simple or understandable and this is easy to discover if you glance at it, I think the problem is more in underappreciating simplicity (aka overtolerating complexity).

> Tibet was a much poorer place that was mostly serfs.slaves before China invaded. They lived in worst conditions. It is only in pop culture is is a religion of peace.

I'm afraid the only pop culture at work to justify a violent takeover is the one invented by the CCP. No one denies the violence perpetrated by Buddhist-affiliated factions in Burma and Sri Lanka.

> Religions can be good, but they can also make good people do evil things.

There is one greater evil at work here, that of political atheism, which, when summing up the terrors of other atheist parties throughout time lead to the greatest human death toll committed by other humans in all of human history. I'm speaking of the Great Leap Forward, the Holodomor, and the Nazi Holocaust.

I feel related to this. I wish I had a way out to tell you but I can only provide comfort in the thought that someone else feels the same.

I think a big part is the constant dissatisfaction, that time is wasted, and I should be doing something more productive. I start a movie, I see where this is going, this is not even that great -> I should be doing something else... I play a game, I understand the mechanics, I see the grind ahead -> I should be doing something else...

It's a negative loop like doomscrolling a news site. Very few things are truly offline and I don't think about the time I'm wasting.

But computers, they give me the best, and they give me the worst of myself.

Thank you Perl for being glue.

Migrating hundreds of thousands of email accounts from one system to a new one. Source information was variously LDAP, custom information systems, Lotus crap, etc etc. Destination was another LDAP server. Perl took all that text in, munged it around, then loaded it into the destination. Back then I didn't know it was called ETL, and to me it was like magic that I had written.

Out of all the ETL systems and languages I've encountered over the years since then, Perl has been the fastest to develop and most flexible. The "text in, regex or otherwise select into objects, transform stuff, then transmit to server" abilities of Perl were just so slick.

Also, Perl is partly responsible for my move to the USA. Slashdot and its associated Everything2 site were written in Perl, and I met my (now-ex) wife through Everything2.

Thank you, Perl, for being pretty danged awesome and oh so flexible. :)

EDIT: and thank you Larry Wall for showing me that programming doesn't have to be stodgy and boring, that language has beauty.
Hey have you tried/considered BulletTrain[0] or lemonsqueezy[1]?

I also have something that I'm working on for this -- I've used my tool (which isn't productized yet, it's still ~4 templated repos) to launch 2 projects (in bio) so far and am working on a third product, but BulletTrain/lemonsqueezy are two much more polished options I know about -- maybe you should give them a try?

Is the thing you're trying to sell an API? Or is it a resource-provisioning sort of SaaS (they sign up, you spin off a persistent worker or something). I model them as the same in my thing (the provisioned "resource" is the API key), but I think that's one of the big differences in which tool will work easily for you.

$500 a year is still at around half the price of cable tv where I live, if you want any sport, largest cable package would be $1213 per year. So you could get all the games you wanted to see, rather than just the ones the TV stations decided to buy, and still have money left over to subscribe to a few streaming services.

Edit: Something something, cost of living. $500 is 3300DKK, which would let you go to a bar, have a meal and four or five beers only seven times.

It's great to see a ton of options for ergo mechanical keyboards out there now, but anyone have any suggestions for the best competitors/replacements for the Microsoft Sculpt? I used to think Mechanical key switches were the best, but in retrospect I must have been brainwashed by elitists. Full depth keys are irritating to use, and most switches are too loud. I love the ten-keyless, chiclet, reverse tilt style of the Sculpt, but I hear they break down quickly and aren't made anymore. I can't imagine myself using a full-depth keyboard again.
Perfect success isn't realistic in this task, but FB's current attempt is very flawed. If their actions make matters worse than inaction, I'd call it total failure.
Well - if you do little but productive work that causes no problems it's progress, if you're an idiot that works 100% but messes up a lot and causes damage to the product - that's worse definietly. I mean i had a job where i was paid to not really touch anything on the actuall product. In the interview they said they wanted me to do this/that ( i think it was something like make the gambling page responsive ), but when i told them how todo it and how i wanted to improve the site - they basically said. No we don't want to change anything on this website that has been up unchanged for two years. So well - i did improve some stuff and 'researched' stuff - implemented some unit-testing and stuff - then decided to get fired (with pay) and fucked off because i was bored as hell after about a year.
Hold on. Taiwan became a democracy just a few years ago (1996). Before it was still one of the many fascist satellite states of the US, which helped the Kuomintang with their revolution in China, which they lost. "Chill" democracy is chill, like the "chill democracies" in Korea or HK, with a similar fate. Still better than the PRC of course. Random European countries always prefer stable fascist partners over democracies.

This piece is really about the skateboard concept and predicted/fantasized implementation convergence. In practice that is more the legacy automaker approach but they have yet to roll them out enmasse, let alone sufficient to genericize. To be frank it looks more like them using the same plagerized essay after slacking off and then trying to justify it just as lazily. That sort of framework idea is also contrary to how industrial scales tend to work in general. Even considering the reduced service needs of electric cars compared to the complex hundreds of moving mechanical parts in the engines and transmissions of before.

All cars tend to look alike because of aerodynamic convergence however, regardless of what cosmetic "features" or stylings they try to impose on them in a futile quest for a distinctive appearance.
Perl already had libraries for those, and zillion more in CPAN.

With Rivescript you could even write a chatbot, and OFC the "original"

I love and use both. Python is more friendly but Perl is just as fun.
I have no delusions I'd be able to viably make a dent in the area (at least anytime soon), but I do wonder how this would actually work.

The optimal solution would of course be to shard both the compute I/O and the storage footprint, so each worker only needed to hold onto maybe 1-100MB of data.

Perhaps some existing (simpler) designs could be modified to "hyper-shard" the compute angle, but would still likely require carrying around a large percentage of the database.

In any case, you'd need an internal signalling fabric capable of (cost-effectively) handling very bursty many-to-many I/O across thousands of endpoints to make consensus work in realtime.

It would honestly be really interesting to see how something like this would work in practice.
Haha. that's pretty funny way to look at it. i like it.
