Ok so you’ve listed a bunch of violations you made, intentionally or unintentionally which explains the ban. That sucks, but it is what it is and there isn’t such thing as “I promise I won’t do it again”. Imagine enforcing that at YouTube’s scale - every single person would of course promise that.

As a side note, you need to calm down and clearly explain what your situation is. The current post you’ve made is absolute gigantic and full of irrelevant information. You need to be clear and most importantly concise. 1,000 characters should be more than enough to explain what’s happened and why you think it’s incorrect.
it sounds like they needed to read a book and learn some concepts from it. That's something you'd expect from any student.
We’re talking public record, which means total strangers.
There used to be Virtuozzo containers for Windows and looks like they are bringing it back as a technical preview:

I just wanted to add that scrolling works normal on mobile. Including searching. It's only loading a bit too long.
To clarify, it was the banned user spamming dogebonk cryptocurrency posts - not the mod. I don't think there's any wrongful behavior on part of the mod, assuming the offer was a joke.

If someone banned you and your 3 alts then I believe that would've been an admin (paid reddit employee). Subreddit mods (volunteers) can only prevent you posting in the subreddit(s) they moderate, and can't see your IP or anything.

Reddit as a whole doesn't forbid Youtube videos. Some specific subreddits may disallow videos.
I haven't been able to reliably click on images in chat for six months.
Presumably, linked to what the sibling said, any actual business probably ought to go over high-security data connections anyways if it's going to go over any mobile network at all. No telling who's tapping into telecom systems in third-world countries, and normal phone calls probably go in the clear no matter what the registered phone number or roaming agreement is for the device.
Our biophysicalmodesl of neurons are actually woefully simplistic.

Should this test preclude me from teaching grade school in Ontario? Are we not all weaker in some areas than others? My mother, Ms. Findlay, taught elementary school in Whitby for years, she's really great at maths, but she couldn't draw a stick figure or build something out of lego if her life depended on it, heck she can't drive stick shift. Unfortunately for me, dyslexia and dyscalcila are hereditary through the father line, so much like myself, my father can't spell or add two numbers together for jack, thankfully neither of us have had to work in areas that you'd notice, but I still think we could both teach elementary school just fine.
Sounds like a racket.
I learnt to program using codecademy !
Color me unconvinced.

I guess if you think Universal Paperclips and Factorio are similar enough to be considered idle games, we will never see eye to eye.

I also don't think a lot of people are going to agree with you either, making your broader definition less useful -- i.e. useful only to you. But hey, whatever floats your boat. Or clicks your boat ;)
I guess to each their own, but I just save onion links to my own vault. I’m not gonna memorize 16-char urls for every service I use.
I prefer to not work with people that I can't communicate with.
Oh that is a really fun way to make the minuses interleave! I will definitely be reading that arXiv link!
"A lion eats its prey alive, so why can't I?" - this is a weird argument to make. We aren't lions, we don't even need to eat animals in the first place, let alone eat them alive. We have much higher intelligence, empathy etc than Komodos or Pythons or lions. Just because rest of the nature is cruel, doesn't mean we too need to be. We also have tons of spices and other non-cruel methods to make our food taste good.

The cruelty that happens in meat factories is well hidden from the general public, unless they are specifically looking into the issue (google ag-gag laws), my guess is many people don't even realize how bad it is. They might have second thoughts about supporting meat industry if they are made aware.

It is obvious we look at this topic from completely different angles. I respect your opinion, but I strongly disagree. Maybe we can just leave it at that :)
What Worked for Me in 2021
Is it not obvious that one person's data being public (and the resulting information asymmetry) is a lot different than everyone's data being public?
That's what I'm telling the IRS next year.
The part of the demo where he creates a computed field inside the sub-result (in a hierarchy), and then uses that in an aggregate at the next level above is excellent. And then he can still see the constituent rows contributing to the aggregate and continue adding filters on them.

I am sold, even as someone comfortable with writing complex queries.
Personally I would like to know the exact numbers of e-mails actually sent.

Hypothesis out of 1,000 mails:

5% were never read (because of spam filters/whatever)

10% were discarded manually or ignored

50% were replied to taking 30 minutes to write an accurate reply

30% were replied after consulting someone else (in the office or friend) let's say 1 hour

5% were replied after consulting a lawyer or consultant, let's make this 4 hours

500x1/2=250
300x1=300
50x4=200

Every 1,000 e-mails roughly 750 hours of people's work has been lost, that is at (say) 40 US$/hour some 30,000 US$ "burned".
The two division questions in the section where you didn’t have a calculator didn’t require you to complete the division. You could examine the answers and get easily to the answer in one case and get to the answer or a 50/50 shot in the other case with basic knowledge of math, even if you forgot the long division mechanics.
As others are saying, it's the norm in some places and, in the US, it's common among government employees (who have more rigid pay scales anyway). Of course, highly paid individuals including the top-compensated people at public companies and pro athletes also have public salaries.

So it's not really some deep dark secret. That said, if a bunch of big companies in a place where public salaries aren't the norm decided to make everyone's salary public one day, you'd have a huge amount of blowback and it would be followed by a whole lot of internal gripes from people who think they should be making more than "Joe" is.
Fun fact: this blog post comes out at 26 pages of A4. If anyone wants assistance digesting it, I can try to help answer stuff here :)
I think this is a great move from Retool. Too much capital is as much a problem as too little. And preserving decent upside for employees is a nice thing to have.
Well, without the hard numbers on subscribers it's going to be hard to quantify one way or another if microsoft are 'struggling on pc' or not. Needless to say though, their catalogue of games on offer for a small monthly fee is absolutely insane. From various twitch streamers/youtubers in the gaming industry people I've only heard praise for its value for money for the customer (anecdotally of course). Clearly microsoft are throwing money at the market right now for growth, how long it lasts I don't know.

Don't get me wrong, I have been a linux user for 16 years and would love to use it for my gaming needs, I think we just have to be realistic here. MS are pumping money into the gaming industry, through the game pass and buying studios. They are not going to let linux become the dominant gaming platform without a fight.
Blockchains are, by design, incredibly inefficient. I'm not talking about mining; take storage as an example. The consensus may be distributed, but the data is purely redundant. The majority of nodes in the network will have to hold a complete copy of the entire chain. If Web3 takes off, it will become more difficult (read: expensive) to operate a node in the network -- doesn't that seem backwards? I haven't seen a protocol address this in a meaningful way, it seems to be shrugged off as a bridge to be crossed at a later date. Storage is cheap! But I don't see how these systems could scale to be truly impactful while remaining so inefficient.
> Yes and no. I think trust in itself is actually just a bad thing all around. Trust implies that you are you're placing some sort of authority in somebody else, or in some organization, and they will be able to use this authority in some arbitrary way.

This is just such a fantasy land.

There's a guy who wrote The Knowledge, a book that (for fun, basically) describes the knowledge we would need to rebuild society if we suddenly forgot everything. Like when and how do we grow crops. What do effective tools for sowing look like?

Like if we instantly forget everything, this book is what we need to bootstrap quickly.

He was asked "what about government?". His answer was "there's no point. The guy with the biggest gun will be the government".

And that's true today. And it's why web3 is idiotic.

"Truth" won't help you, and "trust" doesn't matter, when the government (in the form of the police) knock on your door and say no, actually, your smart contract is an illegal scheme and we are going to put you in a locked room for a while now.

You neither have to believe in the government, nor trust it, for it to force society's will upon you.
Nobody knows what a great investment is, just understand your risk threshold and be OK with taking risks.

If you want a general rule of thumb look to invest in the broader market mainly and then have smaller portions of your portfolio invested in riskier assets.
When I was working in the public sector everyone flew off the handle when a local journalist requested all salary information and published it. Feathers flying everywhere for weeks. I loved it.

The journalist wanted everyone in this poor community to know how many six figure incomes were being doled out at the college. Very comfortable stress-free lives for people with connections while everyone serving them was basically destitute. I was making $12 an hour building software at the time.
Do you really still think that is what's happening still in our horizon?

Web3 seems to promise smaller, balkanized services, compared to social media monoliths we have now, in the service of, presumably, creating self-governing groups communities/businesses.

At least I think that's the idea? Isn't twitter already society expressing ideas? If anything this idea is "better" by being more vague.
I heard that having this data led to the destruction of Nokia as it bred huge resentment and jealousy among employees who had joined later because of lower upside from stock.
For professional organizations this is a non issue. For a small operator it can be both their first request, and their first request from someone who is just shooting off random requests to parties that they know have zero data on them, which is an abuse of the process. To add vaguely worded legal threats to that is way beyond where it should have gone. Anyway, the researcher seems to have realized this by now.
That's a fascinating perspective...

This mentality is why modern software seems slower... Because it is.

So many technological advances, computers are exponentially faster in so many ways, yet we regress in performance.

It's a shame, really...
It's interesting watching these types of tools get re-invented periodically:

https://github.com/benbernard/RecordStream

It shows the unix model of many small, composable tools is very powerful, but also shows that POSIX is missing some essential pieces that everyone keeps trying to add/reinvent.
Now imagine you share it with criminals. Do you imagine a few creative ways to use such a list ? That's what Albania did.
In my country that would be almost certainly illegal. Not even copyright holders can tell you what you can do with your personal copies of copyrighted works, short of distributing them to someone else. By law they're explicitly prevented from doing that.
Your message implies an organization that has at least two engineers and at least two support people. Many of the site owners who were seriously bothered by it seem to have been one person operations running non-commercial personal sites and it never occurred to them that they needed to look into what if any obligations they might have under laws like GDPR and CCPA.

Maybe the default index.html that gets created when you first set up a site should include a notice that if your site is going to be public facing you might be subject to laws like GDPR and CCPA and link to resources you can use to figure out if you are in fact subject to them.

Same for whatever blogging software is common on these sites. I'd guess that they usually include a sample entry so you can verify that your installation is working? If so, include privacy law information in the sample entry.
*at the expense of screening against everyone else who happen to slightly overlap in the venn diagram at that point in time

The monitor has a PPI of about 140, FYI.
>>I certainly can see the owners of capital being upset when their workers find out how egregious the disparity of income is, but outside of that?

There is this idealistic belief that knowing salary will make all people better off. I also find it laughable the notion that "owners of capital" will be the only ones upset, as opposed to 50+% of us who merely have somebody that makes more money, or the other 50% of us who now have a painted target (not necessarily just for simple physical theft; but also resentment and social consequences).

I may be a cynic in my old age, but I don't see easy mandatory connecting dots between "Share salary information" "Step ???" "Everybody Profit!".

I have not yet met a single person in my life - friend, family, acquaintance, colleague, team member, boss, personal nemesis, whoever -- that openly and with full self-awareness says "yes, I'm not very good; I don't work very hard; I should be getting paid less than this other person".

What I see day in and day out is everybody wanting the best of everything. And fair enough! It would be irrational to desire less for yourself and your family.

So if you have 10 people and they're on a bell curve in performance and happen to be on a perfectly matching bell curve in salary, if anybody here believes that open salary information will result in 10 out of those 10 people being happy and satisfied with their situation... well, I want to join you in your fantasy world of unicorns and rainbows. In reality, 9 people would want to have the same salary as your top performer, while not being willing or able (but primarily willing) to invest effort, work, ownership, responsibility... and eventually the other top performer quitting too as they were harassed, resented, bullied at work. Eventually you'll settle in an equilibrium with mediocre performers getting same mediocre salary. But this seeming "equality" is not necessarily the idealistic optimal point it may seem.

I won't go as far as to say this is human nature. This may just be cultural artifact and conditioning in parts of the world I've lived in. Perhaps there exist cultures where people have more self-awareness and satisfaction with "their lot in life", i.e. their effort/reward ratio; and more allowances and comfort that others make more or less. I can 100% see Iain Banks' Culture operating differently:). Maybe there are enlightened countries where this is already the case... I have yet to live in Scandinavia :P. But not where I'm standing.

(I may be slightly grouchy today... but I stand by the gist of the statement :P )

If you say that you stop punishing certain crimes don't get surprised that some people will go because they won't get punished for that crime.

From this example alone it's clear that the threat of punishment works. If you want a better way to deter crime, you have my full support. But if you cease an effective measure and delay months before implementing another one, your transition process is none.

Imagine if a bank would freeze all your funds just because they're transitioning to a new "better" system. Even for a single week.
As I understand it, you can also see exactly who has looked up your salary info, so it might make for some awkward conversations if your neighbour did search for you.
Code has more properties than just whether it works. And the development process has more components than just shipping code around. Somebody being an asshole in code review is a problem, even if their code is correct.
We need “dumb” infrastructure again, that you can simply pay for with few strings attached, where the provider cannot fiddle with things at all, leaving enforcement to other authorities.

We build roads; yes, those roads might be used to transport stolen goods but the road builder doesn’t get to sit there and inspect every vehicle (and accuse the wrong people sometimes and ban them from driving).

It’s just so damned complicated now and I don’t know how it got that way.
60dB @ 100m is 77db @ 15m

For comparison, in Washington state, the legal limit for an automotive exhaust is 72db@15m.

Still an achievement, but definitely not something you want your neighbor to land at 3 am.

In the US military, you could figure out exactly what anyone made, because it was based on a rank + tenure formula that did not have many exceptions. There was some regional stuff around housing allowances, hazard pay, etc, but that was also formula driven. The "secret" then, was about how to get promoted faster, and not what your pay was. Not that it's a solution for the private sector, but it was easy to understand.
By responsible for financial performance, I believe you mean getting mean whipping employees until they make you more money.
I was about to say that it's quite smooth for me on Safari - then I searched for something as per your suggestion and the whole page was vertically offset and effectively broken... oh dear.

Edit: The scroll hijacking makes more sense in the context of the home page, which actually uses it to reasonable effect (not endorsing the technique, but the home page is attractive at least).

I think the mistake was leaving it on for heavy content pages like the one linked where it adds very little but breaks other basic behaviour.
Which means:

- google reads all your files

- google judges your files

- google has a set of opaque, arbitrary, ever changing list of things that can turn your files into a reason for locking you out

So, basically: s/your files/their files
It’s because of the anisotropy.

Suppose the universe was a regular grid of voxels. You could run experiments to prove that. I don’t understand the details, but that was Feynman’s counter argument. (See the “messenger lectures” series on YouTube.)

If the grid isn’t regular, you run into other problems. But iirc at one point Feynman was toying with the idea that the grid might be randomly distributed.
That makes sense if in the USA since prostitution is illegal in 49 states.
That would be for example considered in Germany a huge breach of the citizens privacy. Simply unimaginable if you were raised in a country like Germany or US and i certainly support this to be private data.
Not exact in all cases, but in some and very close in most others. And it isn't "magic pixie dust"--it is a lot of hard work to implement generics in a way that is both ergonomic for the programmer and efficient.
You could try to express yourself in less condescending ways, it should have a positive outcome, on average, in interactions with people
Thanks for this. I think the test is pretty interesting:

- The first and second sections test math skills up to about a grade five or six level, at least based on what I learned in Ontario schools in the 1980s.

- The third section seems pretty suggestive of the philosophy of the teacher training system. I didn't have much trouble guessing 16/21 questions correctly, despite never having read any of the referenced books.

- I would love to see how scores on the first and second sections of the test correlate with answers to the questionnaire that forms section four.

- I'm not sure what the pass standard for this test is, but I would be rather concerned if teachers who had scored less than 75% on the first two sections were permitted to teach mathematics (or science) above a grade 4 level. (Certain choices of answers on the questionnaire section would also provoke similar concerns.)
Yeah only ransom and kidnapping. In France a guy was kidnapped by mistake because he was jewish and his smart kidnapper thought all jews were rich. He died.

Now at least with such a list the risk of mistake is minimal, only genuine high earners would be kidnapped, is that what you're saying?
It might actually be too good to be true. The German magazine Aerokurier is citing experts that seem to have doubts about feasibility [1].

The category is called air taxis, other competitors are Volocopter and Archer, with different concepts.

I wouldn't call it lengthy, but if anyone is wondering, the proposal points out that parametrized methods don't have an obvious behavior _inside interfaces_. No mention of why they left them out in non-interface types.
> The whole reason we switched to 16:9 is for more real estate for side-by-side apps.

The whole reason of switching to 16:9 is because TVs did and it’s cheaper for the manufacturers, AND they can advertise the same (or larger) diagonal for less square inches.
You need to pick your battles and choose what you want to protect against to mitigate risk and enable day-to-day operations.

For example, too often people will set up clustered databases and whatnot because "they need HA" without much thought about all the other potential effects of using a cluster, such as much more complicated recovery scenarios.

In the vast majority of cases, an active-passive replicated database with manual failover is likely to have fewer pitfalls and gives you the same operational HA a clustered database would, even though in the case of a (rare) real failure it would not automatically recover like a cluster might.
> They could easily sell 3-4 million this year if they had the supply

Reminds me of a story.

A man walks into a shop and asks for a dozen eggs.

Shopkeeper: Sure thing. That will be $50.

Customer: (shocked) But, the shop on the other side of the road is selling them for a buck each.

Shopkeeper: So, why don't you go buy your eggs there...

Customer: Because they are all out of eggs today.

Shopkeeper: Once, i'm all out of eggs, then I too sell them for a buck each.
Channels are basically websockets and only supported inside Phoenix as far as I can tell..
“Rejected”?

Ok I’m not going to go point by point as it seems you’ve completely missed mine. I’m not suggesting a Mail client coming with the OS is unique to macOS. I’m suggesting the UI/UX is, or in this one case, actually comes from NeXT which became macOS. If you can’t look at these and understand where it comes from, regardless if it’s in other Linux DEs (look at its history evolution), or tell the difference between a taskbar and a Dock (and know their history), then I don’t know what else to say.

Lastly, telling me that my argument is weak and bogus makes me want to engage negative percent. It’s not a nice way to interact, and is frustrating when you don’t even get my point when I clearly said “ But the UI/UX is more than just “inspired by” Apple”
Why didn't I think of that :-(
