Tangential: Me looking up "cucumber" on youglish.com led me to this very powerful TED talk on online abuse of women. Thought I would share

This sounds very behooving of a dating app: it preemptively gives 0 chances to the "iffy guy" and rejects them so the dating person doesn't have to. I am still not sure to what extent the problem is with this social norm vs. with how it is being "reflected" by Tinder.
It wasn’t so much over engineered but more old before it’s time. Sega bet on 2D and then retrofitted their console to be 3D after rumours emerged that the PlayStation and N64 were 3D-focused systems.
Well, the first myth is a complete surprise to me, especially the bit about the lizard brain. I've parroted about it in casual conversation for decades now.
Moving to an electric ducted fan instead of an internal combustion engine with a variable pitch propeller definitely simplifies things, though replacing that ICE and prop with 36 ducted fans mounted to elevons seems like you're just swapping one set of complexities for a different set, though gaining complexity through redundancy isn't really the worst thing.

My biggest concern with this system is what kind of glide ratio this has in a power loss scenario.
It won't be popular [/be used against you] unless you provide evidence you're a real person? I think that's a slightly Freudian slip right there.

You are comparing different populations.

* “ 60% of Republican adults”

* “58% percent of White people had received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose, which was close to the rate for Hispanic people (56%) but higher than the rate for Black people (51%)“

The problem becomes obvious if you compare it now. How could the Republican % be higher than the white, Hispanic, or black %? Not because republicans are more likely than democrats or neutrals to get the vaccine - it’s because you’ve compared total population (including children who aren’t eligible or only became eligible in the last month or two) to adult population.

Now look at stats that actually compare like for like and you can see GOP members are much less open to vaccination than Black Americans. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/09/28/republica...
Just speaking from experience and anecdotes from others. I’m not arguing it makes business-sense. As the OP is arguing, the false positives are probably a small enough percentage of users that companies haven’t found it worthwhile to prioritize. And even if it is, it can be hard to tell from readily available data who’s a false positive in the first place when you don’t have a proper customer support organization.
Thanks for the great feedback Gary! We'll work on it. :)
>The drug, which belongs to a family called protease inhibitors, doesn't target the virus' spike protein, as the vaccines do.

Apparently, only one of the three available monoclonal antibodies seem to be effective against Omicron at the moment, so this can't come soon enough. How is Pfizer so successful in this space at the moment?
Yes, because a lot of people falsely believe the risk of the vaccine is greater than the risk of COVID—19. But once you contract COVID you move in to a new higher-risk pool. There have been news stories of unvaccinated people asking for the vaccine once they’re hospitalized, which by then is sadly too late.
I think you may find this article from 2017 very illuminating[0].

The security agencies would pay good money for a solution that bypasses this requirement. They were paying good money for exploits that disabled the tally lamp on web cams.
A similar line of thought made me think about the usefulness of apps like Duolingo. People who learned languages back then did it with textbooks and most serious learners still do. Do we really need new methods other than spaced repetition (of which software is a slightly more efficient version of flash cards)?
> [Myth 1] specific parts of the human brain have specific psychological jobs ... [Rebuttal] Neurons in a brain region called the anterior cingulate cortex are regularly involved in memory, emotion, decision-making, pain, moral judgments, imagination, attention, and empathy.

This is not a rebuttal to the myth. Imagine I'm talking about a car, and I say: It's a myth that specific parts of the car have specific functions. For example, the engine is involved in starting the car, accelerating the car, decelerating the car, regulating the car's speed, producing heat for the cabin, and running the alternator to produce electricity for the lights, power systems, and radio! That's so many things! But of course the engine has one dedicated, primary function, and the others are either downstream functions or side benefits. The anterior cingulate cortex is clearly not as specialized as a car engine, but it is highly specialized; it's just that its specialized function is not so easy to describe (or even discern) in words like "memory", "emotion", etc. Each of those words describes a huge group of functions that are downstream of the function of the anterior cingulate cortex and many other specialized structures.

I believe the "specialized brain regions" idea has been over-debunked. It was the source of so much woo woo in the late 20th century (are you right-brained or left-brained!?) that we've come to think it's complete bunk. But we have a huge body of evidence showing that there is a big difference in how the left vs. right brain processes information and that different brain regions are highly specialized, but that their specialized functions don't map cleanly into the language we were already describing human behavior with.
I built several large enterprise products over WebSockets. I didn't find it that bad.

Office networks that either blocked or killed WebSockets were annoying. For some customers they were a non-starter in the early 2010s, but by 2016 or so this seemed to be resolved.

Avoiding thundering herd on reconnect is a very explored problem and wasn't too bad.

We would see mass TCP issues from time to time as well, but they were pretty much no-ops as they would just trigger a timeout and reconnect the next time the user performed an operation. We would send an ACK back instantly (prior to execution) for any client requested operation, so if we didn't see the ACK within a fairly tight window, the client could proactively reap the WebSocket and try again - customers didn't have to wait long to learn a connection was alive and unclosed.

> If you use WebSockets, you must make reconnects be completely free in the common case

I agree with this, or at least "close to completely free." But in a normal web application you also need to make latency and failed requests "close to completely free" as well or your application will also die along with the network. This is the point I make in my sibling comment - I think distributed state management is a hard problem, but WebSockets are just a layer on top of that, not a solution or cause of the problem.

> you must employ people who are willing to become deeply knowledgeable in how TCP works.

I think this is true insofar as you probably want a TCP expert somewhere in your organization to start with, but we never found this particularly complicated. Understanding that the connection isn't trustworthy (that is, when it says it's open, that doesn't mean it works) is the only important fundamental for most engineers to be able to work with WebSockets.

>suddenly without rights after being solid contributors to that society, sometimes for decades.

This is a stretch by any measure.
I'm an estern european in UK. Once I applied for ILR(Indefinite leave to remain) I can go and come with 0 problems. Not sure what "without rights" you are talking about but brexit doesn't bother me in any way.

We have plenty at work that arrived in uk around 2-3 years ago and they continue their lives without problems, go home for holidays and so on. Some work for us as self-empleyer/contractors. Not even those have any issues.
Not only is this company obviously a scam, if their product actually did exist it would be extremely expensive as well as louder and more dangerous than a regular helicopter.

Monopolies are generally not granted, except in exceptional circumstances. The US government didn't grant Microsoft a monopoly in PC operating systems.

>200 years ago, there was no reason to suspect the next generation would be worse off than this one

Wars, plagues, famines, economic issues and tyranny all existed 200 years ago. Only someone living in a very cushy position in the first world would be reasonably assured that life wouldn't be worse in the future. The future is always uncertain. Even now, for all we know the covid 19 virus may evolve into some incredibly virulent and deadly disease at any time. That was doubly so when the black death was still occurring, before antibiotics, along with a plethora of diseases we're only somewhat aware of today such as polio and leprosy.

You have an inaccurate view of the world if you think the bottom 25% of humans ever had any real assurance life was going to get better rather than worse. Making moral judgements on them is an easy way to sound naive. For example you're implying African slaves in the Americas were "bad people"(your words) because they had children despite knowing their children would be enslaved. It's incredibly simplistic to think that anyone ever had that kind of assurance except for the very most privileged in society. We're not in a wholly novel situation, we're returning to the uncertainty that our ancestors had to deal with. Forever chemicals and microplastics are a new poison, and one I really am concerned about to tell you the truth, but poison itself isn't new.

And you're just as ethically required to commit suicide as you are to not have kids-- they both are means to lower the anguish in the world. How can only be ethically required to care about my kids possible pain, but simultaneously not required to care about about the billions of working class around the world working their fingers to their bones mining our lithium and making our food and goods, for pennies a day, just to survive? The lithium batteries in our phones that were using to discuss this, are a testament to the way we are engaged in this awful system. I don't know why one humans anguish is acceptable to be a part of while another unborn humans anguish would be a moral sin. Either contributing to the pain and blood inherent in the system is bad, or its okay. It doesn't really matter whose kids are suffering, in the grand picture of morality-- you owe the same moral duty to do no harm to the kids other people created as you owe to your potential kids
No, the battery warranty you quoted is NOT public NOR documented. You've offered no proof it is real.

> Also the marketing benefit can't be downplayed. If your postmortem is "AWS was having issues" then your execs and customers just accept that as the cost of doing business because there's a built-in assumption that AWS, Azure, GCP are world class and any in-house team couldn't do it better.

In my experience, execs and customers don't treat an outage differently because AWS is at fault. Though the developers do often have the attitude that it's "someone else's problem", which can actually can make execs more worried than if the problem was well known and under the company's control.
This is a view that I think everyone of us should have. The elites manipulate us by waving various flags and nationalism is one of them. Don't get me wrong that Nationalism is useful when the whole country is under invasion or something, but so far this is not happening for most of the countries out there.

I'd rather segment people by the class they are in.

Most of the American population is overweight* or has some other comorbidity like diabetes or high blood pressure.

* Many public health authorities consider being overweight (and just obese) to be a risk factor.
I don't have much to add other than this reminds me of the obsession around "satisfaction" for product metrics and why that seems to always boil down to slapping NPS on it because it's a number and execs like numbers.

It might, it might not. Pessimism isn't the only conclusion.
I got pretty far in the beginning just by reading the docs on Phoenix channels [0]. I was learning Phoenix and ReactJS at the same time and got a pretty simple Redux thunk that interacted with Phoenix Channels in a few days. I'm not sure if that was the optimal way to do it, but it was really cool interacting with the application from IEx (elixir shell).

You might find an interesting (albeit more complex) entry point by interacting with Phoenix Channels from your Node.js app using the Channels Node.js client [1] and within the frontend itself.

Nobody is using gas to heat anything in Finland. District heating is pretty much all some combination of waste heat from some other industrial process (including electricity production), coal, wood or peat. Some district heating scale heat pump and storage projects are in prototype phase but are meaningless % of actual usage.

For individual house heating it is some combination of pure electric, heat pump, wood and oil.

Gas in general is used very little for electricity here (only ~7% of total energy production) and gas cooking stuff is also relatively rare.

I’m surprised that not being on social media is a surprising thing to people.
I've never seen websockets accomplish anything that push with long polling didn't do more effective and efficiently. I think they are a technology that missed their time, the CPU / power savings are generally non-existent and the minimal bandwidth savings are frequently negated by the need to add in redundancy and checks.
BuiltWith.com is pretty much just one guy doing over $10m per year. At the notch below there are others like Pieter Levels who I think is doing over $1m per year with Nomad List and RemoteOK and I think it's mostly just him with some part time help. Probably a few more that no one has heard of.
> but El and Yahweh seem to be conflicting proper names

They don't. I'm not really sure where you get that idea from.

This article bothers me a little bit. It makes it sound like the brain is completely structureless, and that the division of brain into "parts" is a myth.

I'm not a neurologist but this seems a disingenuous. Surely we know that the limbic system serves a major role in emotions. We know that the hippocampus serves a major role in long term memory formation. The amygdala controls the fear response. Plenty of other examples.

But this article is very high level so maybe I'm completely misunderstanding what "myth" they're trying to debunk.

A Holiday Feast, Cooked in the Cab of a Truck
For anyone caught in this endless loop, here's how I got out, sort of: I bought something on eBay using PayPal.

When buying on eBay, PayPal lets you login w/o confirming your phone number. When the PayPal screen pops up, I started clicking on other stuff and eventually escaped to the main PayPal site, logged in. Then I clicked on Resolution Center, told their automated bot I had a problem with my phone number, and it let me update my mobile phone number. It asked if I wanted to confirm it and I said no. In hindsight, I probably should have said yes here. I thought I was home free, and yet...

When I tried to login again, I expected it to try to confirm my number, which I could do now that the number was right. But instead, it circle-spun for a while, then displayed the login screen again. Fuck!

So I tried calling customer service, figuring that I could give them a code now. But there was another option to proceed without a code, so I did that and got an actual person on the line. He verified my email and last 4 of my bank account, then read back the phone number and, of all things, I had typed a 0 instead of 9 when talking to the bot!

The customer service guy fixed my phone number, told me I had to reset my password, I did that, he told me to try to login, and ... my account is still locked. He couldn't unlock it and said I had to wait 48 hours, then I would get another security challenge when attempting to login. If I had trouble with that, call them back.

I realize some of this was my fault, but people do make mistakes. I'm the author of HashBackup and have thought about trying to sell licenses from time to time, but this kind of crap with payment services is a major reason I haven't. Can you imagine having tens of thousands of dollars flowing through a shitty service like this? Scary!

> Do we know that the student cannot solve the problem

Yes. Emphatically. The problem was right there on the page, and they did not give the correct answer.

Answering a question in a language that is commonly used is part of the test. I also have perused the questions for this test and they do not require sophisticated lingual concepts to understand (and this test was for teachers!!!)

But if a pupil cannot solve a problem because they do not understand the language well enough to properly obtain the correct answer... they do not have the skills to succeed in the world. This is a fixable problem, except of course many schools do not actually want to teach the predominant language for reasons having to do with political vote capture.
> People refuse vaccines because they are experimental - will they believe an even newer drug?

They don't refuse vaccines because they are 'experimental'[1] (They are happy to demand vitamin C, or ivermectin, etc, etc, etc.), they refuse them because it's the position their political tribe has adopted.

[1] They've gone through all the same human trials as any other vaccine - it's just that they went through those trials at the same time, as opposed to one-after-the-other.
There are plenty of video courses, stuff on Udemy teaching you databases, etc.

I think it's an untapped market for the webbased coding challenges, although quite hard to pull off if you are needing to have a database for the users to interact with, etc. The same would apply for any network-based challenge, or ones requiring interacting with an API, etc.
Make sure you handle disconnects/reconnects, leverage query params to pass state (ideally limited), sync/scale via Redis pubsub, and assume that the websocket will fail so always have some sort of fallback/redundacy. Ideally think of websockets like sprinkles on ice cream.

Grace period - A grace period is a period immediately after the deadline for an obligation during which a late fee, or other action that would have been taken as a result of failing to meet the deadline, is waived provided that the obligation is satisfied during the grace period. In other words, it is a length of time during which rules or penalties are waived or deferred. Grace periods can range from a number of minutes to a number of days or longer, and can apply in situations including arrival at a job, paying a bill, or meeting a government or legal requirement.

In law, a grace period is a time period during which a particular rule exceptionally does not apply, or only partially applies.

I agree that the attack surface needs to be carefuly thought about. It shoudln't be much harder than current "widgets", though.

I was thinking of something that only does I/O with data contained in the room it's in. I think the UI would be the hard part, but it could be doable with a few HTML tags and an extensible UI.

For instance: add an "insert poll" button, or an "add voice message" button. Or an "add sticker"/emoji/gif, etc. Currently every client needs to build this individually. Users could pick the features they want in their clients.

Moreover, not every plugin needs to be third-party. A "trusted store" could very well be maintained.
Is this not understanding things like gerunds why we now have things like "ad spend", when "ad spending" is the pre-existing way of nounifying the verb?
