> most tech workers didn't even need to explore the neighborhoods they lived in -- they could Uber to the front door of any restaurant they wanted, and take tech buses instead of riding their bikes or taking public transportation to get to work.

This feels like a recurring theme I hear from people who resent the migration of so many "tech" (read: software) workers to San Francisco, but each time I wonder if it's legitimate. I took MUNI twice a day for 6+ years, and walked nearly everywhere else. I don't feel like that caused me to meet many people or form any particular connections with the community. I've certainly had more conversations with strangers taking Lyft than I have on MUNI or BART, despite taking Lyft much less often. Public transit isn't some kind of transformative bonding experience.

Most people go to work, socialize with a small circle of friends, and have a private life at home. That's not some uniquely antisocial "tech worker" thing, as if everyone else spends much of their time painting street murals or serving in a soup kitchen. Poll the young people you know in other jobs and ask them how many local civic organizations they're involved in; folks don't have the time. I say this having been on the board of a small SF nonprofit for several years.

Because it sounds like a letter you’d receive from someone who’s prepared to abuse the legal system to extract money from you. Also I think the OP pretty well described their reaction: they were afraid they were going to be sued.

Presumably you think investors in Theranos should also have also have been on the hook for pursuing legal claims. So basically most white collar crime should be pursued because it's mostly not worthwhile on a dollars and cents basis for government to do so.

Or Enron?

It's just fraud. It's a small step to go from there to say that white collar crime doesn't really hurt anyone and it's on those who think they've been hurt to pursue redress in the courts on their own.
As the professor from John Hopkins stated, it should be omi-cold. It is substantially milder than the other variants, less likely to lead to hospitalization or death. It’s just another political stunt.
It is right if you are only interested in making the damn thing work.

But if you don't want it to broadcast noise like crazy you want it tight and matched as much as possible.

The value of differential pair comes from the fact that they have constant common component. That only works if both components aren't shifted in time. If that happens, you will get strong common signal and say bye to nice quiet differential pair.
there's a very easy thought experiment to make against a copy of you implying experiential continuity, in the sense of experiencing qualia: make two copies. Do you experience two perspectives simultaneously? This defies both reality and intuition, because you could separate the copies by a light year and experiencing the two perspectives simultaneously would violate physics.
Legit beginner here, I only read a little of some beginner python books but never got far. It was more fun than working through a book, more engaging. I think I may go back to it after seeing some of these updates. There is also a decent variety of options beside just going through the tutorials.
I'm just running a hobby website. I'm not at all used to receiving letters that bring up legal questions, then give me a time frame to reply as per a specific law. To my non-lawyer reading, that looks like someone's doing their homework to figure out how to drag me into court. Judging from a lot of the responses I've gotten from other recipients, I'm far from the only one.
This is so dangerously drunk on Kool Aid, I can barely manage to reply. The SAT was begun in the first place to even out the different schools people came from so that elite schools couldn't just slide people in, or due to grade inflation, or whatever (and race!)

You make a distinction without a difference in this case, and what other variables are you controlling for? Class rank? That can't be gamed, you think? Rich people will always game the system, whatever it is. In many cases, the alternatives are AP exams, which aren't even available in all schools.

What criterion would you suggest? A lottery?

I was a mere peasant at a SUNY school, but I tutored kids in the EOP program. These kids were mostly from awful high schools and had aptitude, but lacked a lot of basic high school skills.

Just like my friends from “normal” educational backgrounds, the kids who worked did fine. Most were boxed out of engineering but I know of a few alumni who are attorneys or have other professional gigs.
I thought the latest lawsuit from Software Freedom Conservancy was interesting, they are suing as a third-party beneficiary of the GPL (not as a copyright holder, although they probably could do that too in this case) and seeking specific performance of the GPL violator (Vizio) and of course legal costs, but no damages. The specific performance they want is of course GPL compliance. As part of the case, they are basically saying that the GPL is a contract and the contract says that third-parties can get benefits and so they want those benefits. Frankly this is a brilliant case and if they win the precedent will allow anyone to sue over GPL violation. If any trolls try it, all they get is GPL compliance, so they have no incentive to try it.

i'm far away from b2b sales so this is pretty shocking and thanks for sharing, but couldn't "kickbacks to certain customers in exchange for promoting its product" be something like "leave us a testimonial and we'll cut you a deal"? Is it legal to, say, pay for references and testimonials?

I don't think the API part matters as much. What matters most is that they'd have to rebuild OBS capabilities from scratch and prove there is a clean separation. Otherwise, it's a derived work because separating them makes the TikTok offering useless / not functional.

It's less "settling a debate" and more "clearing up major misconceptions than most people will come away with from watching Veritasiums video". I've taken several physics and electronics courses in my life and after watching Veritasiums video, I was under the impression that the majority of the current would be flowing through the lightbulb immediately which is not the case. So this video is just demonstrating that there's an initial "residual" current induced in the lightbulb from the electric field but the majority of the current is propagating at the speed of light through the wire.
Unless you have the up-front cash, time, and know-how to get your own box in a datacenter, isn't it the most logical option to rent something?

There is a separate Research Integrity group to address exactly this sort of problem. I'd call and email them [0] and then maybe cc' the office of General Council (their lawyers) [1] so they are aware of the type of liability that lax research oversight may be causing.

For good measure, his research advisors should hear about this as well. Per his own website (now unavailable but archived on wayback [2]) they are Jonathan Mayer [3] and Jenifer Rexford. [4]

They can’t afford it because they aren’t building enough housing and especially higher density housing. The high cost of living is a direct result of political policies that keeps housing supply low and taxes high.
Educated Westerners generally know far less about China than educated Chinese people know about the West.

This really shows in conversations about China. Anti-Chinese propaganda has dramatically ratcheted up in the West (it really began during the Trump administration), and since most people know nothing about China to begin with, they basically believe what they're exposed to in the media. People are operating with such a wildly distorted, wacky view of China that it's nearly impossible to have an intelligent discussion about the country.

> as climate change, racial injustice, gun violence, and the negative effects of social media on self-worth, Dr. Murphy concluded that youth are facing multiple challenges, even before factoring in the ravaging effects of coronavirus.

I realize this will be perceived as political, but to me its fact: the issue is the reaction of part of the political spectrum to these issues and the use of them to try and further their agenda. That is the root cause of the mental health issues we're seeing. If we were pursuing a constructive solution, it would be different. But we're just finding boogeymen to push politics. And unsurprisingly there is serious fallout from this kind of manipulation.

(There is some irony in being flagged to death - people would rather have their head in the sand than actually consider the societal consequences of their actions)
You're asking this backward: why should commercial institutions be held to a lower bar than academic ones. The response isn't to make it easier for universities to conduct research on you, but to make it harder for companies to.

A proxy is needed to bypass iframe restrictions for most websites. I used this x-frame-bypass client js code [https://github.com/niutech/x-frame-bypass] which (previously?) used proxy.megatunger.com . That free proxy could be recording your queries, who knows, so use caution.

If (when actually) that proxy goes down I think I'll set up something like CORSflare to have a more reliable and trustworthy alternative. [https://github.com/Darkseal/CORSflare]

I hacked this together over about one workday in total so it's likely to have significant issues. You can comment them here or (preferably) file an issue on the repo: [https://github.com/qpwo/searchall/]

There's also a demo video on the repo if the site goes down but you wanted to see how it looks. Feel free to file feature requests on the repo as well. If you'd rather copy it and make your own version then that's fine too.

I'll try to reply to all comments here.
> I am intrigued by your key chords though. You can’t get key chords like that with a stock keyboard. Does it rely on the key-up event to distinguish between “cv” (one keychord” and “c” and “v” (separate)? Or does it rely on timeouts?

Timeouts. I believe it's similar to how some users use "jk" as more convenient than the escape key.

GDPR and CCPA compliance has been a big thing in the enterprise space recently. I wouldn't be surprised if they missed a small amount, and would assume that they didn't properly 0 out the bytes on the actual hard disk (as opposed to deleting the metadata used to find them - ssds in particular can make actually 0ing data hard), but I bet they do a reasonably good job.
Interesting. Could kill two birds with one stone.

There is a time delay to any voter related action.

In a transient place like the bay area, the voters also do not experience the consequence of their votes and follow along with whatever trendy compassion based arguments is around at the time, the one year they vote.

The people who run for office are not many. Most of these positions are uncontested.
Yes, it was fun to make – and similar to milliondollarhomepage. The building part was relatively easy, using the resources I mentioned. However, trying to get users – which would have been the really fun part – is probably 10X harder than actually writing the code. (If code is never (barely?) executed, is it really code?) :)
Everyone always thought that being smart was the only way into Harvard, but it’s not true. This change will make that obvious. Hopefully, the smartest people will no longer try to go to Harvard and it will just turn into an old crusty university. The idea that Harvard even produced intelligence needs to be questioned but it hasn’t been. The truth is - if you take the smartest high school students you’ll end up with the smartest college graduates. The quality of the Harvard education really isn’t what separates people.
Indeed. But just continuing to fight at all was rather crazy... the idea being to wait and see if one side or other would offer a separate peace. So jabbing at each side (US/Britain/Canada/FreeFrench and the Soviets) hard was a desperate way to try to roll the dice, and incentivize that I suppose. There was no shortage dubious gambling on the German side after 1941.

Unfortunately this wikipedia article serves effectively as yet another type of political "fact checking". Multiple virologists have stated that the only evidence in existence currently points to a lab leak. Labelling it as a fringe or destructive "conspiracy theory" is complete BS and it's not even conspiratorial, it's called a mistake and lab leaks have happened in the past.
I believe this is a more of a UofT practice rather than a general Canadian practice? As a Waterloo grad CS grad once you were in the program, you were in. I I agree it's really cruel to students to have this kind of 1st/2nd year cut off system though.
Dude. Annoyed as I am with the researcher, there's no need to bring that kind of nonsense into the conversation.

In years past, Japanese import was considered synonymous with cheap crap. That reputation changed over time, eventually becoming associated with high quality. Chinese imports now having that reputation doesn't really have much to do with how Americans feel about the Chinese government.
Look at what happened in San Francisco when they dumbed down the math for these same reasons. The rich kids just supplemented it with private tutoring.

I have a lot of opinions about things that don't directly involve me, as I'm sure most people do. I used to share most of those opinions online, and I'd bet I spent hours per week on it. What a waste.

I've tried to dial back that time spent by reminding myself that a) I (often) don't have skin in this game and b) I (probably) don't have any new thoughts worth sharing. I think b is probably the more important consideration.

For an example, there's the argument that "taxes are theft". I do have skin in the game but I am 100% certain I have no novel ideas or opinions to share on the subject, so I choose not to, and I think I'm happier for it.

That's a pretty clear line... On the one side, even if the US government is not adequately regulating private companies today, it could begin doing so tomorrow, or if it's a question of legality, any individual or group could bring a case against those companies, and have it decided on by a judge who can actually make an impartial decision.

On the other side, you have a single entity which answers only to itself, and makes the law. There is no-one "above" that entity, even in principle. If you don't like the things it's doing... tough.
