Well, when we're in the middle of a Global Pandemic, with the 5th-highest death toll in human history [0], a couple things have to change temporarily, don't you think?

Also, this is a Quebec-only curfew. Take it up with your provincial government. If separated as a country, perhaps Quebec wouldn't make the list. Quebec has plenty of other counter-freedom policies including your government-endorsed islamophobia.

You're right, but that's not always true, and there's plenty of good use cases where a conversational experience is better. For example, if someone is trying to return something, you might ask them what they ordered. Picking from a list of 1000 items isn't a great UX. Datepickers are way more annoying to use than typing in "Jan 6 2022". The best chatbots I've used (and built) alternate between more a button-like interface vs. eliciting conversational answers in the appropriate context.
Saw the article later, they use monkey type too. I would love to see them in the 30s test.
Modern CCaSS vendors will index this conversation history. There is a differnece between async web messaging and chat itself.
You don't get it — I'm not motivated by property values. I'm motivated by 1.) the massive waste of taxpayer dollars that could go elsewhere, and 2.) my compassion for people who really need help, not just a room.

San Francisco spends over $100,000 per homeless individual, per year. It is ridiculous that I kept seeing the same faces doing the same things for years, and of course their population has grown and continues to grow. Throwing money at the problem doesn't work in the United States. The continued advocacy for these programs seems to be rooted in either progressive wishful thinking or simple graft (there's a lot of money changing hands).
That's something I did implement in Pipes, but the API limit and API changes made it hard and I basically can't guarantee that it works. https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge is an alternative you might like.

>Latinos from Central America, who are completely different than those from Spain or Cuba and the rest of the world. They exist in a kind of 'separate' USA and while technically might have the opportunities others have, they live in a system that is not suited to exploiting them. They are happy in their version of he US, they're family oriented, patriots - but not going to college or after the white collar trades like migrants from 'everywhere else'.

This is so wrong and misinformed it's hard to know what to say. This sounds like the happy slaves justification for slavery.

The fact of the matter is that Latino immigrants from Central/South America follow the same path of assimilation as immigrants from anywhere else do. From the outside it may not see like it but that's because there's a steady flow of new immigrants. I've taught a lot of second-generation Latino immigrants who are very much interested in college and white-collar trades and not looking to continue in low-wage service jobs.

To the extent that there's no opportunity to climb it's because of racist attitudes like yours.
And that’s a Good thing. As Satoshi said before releasing 0.1 “The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust.”

You don’t want people messing with the money. You can’t trust people and you certainly can’t trust the Keynesians. Taking this power away from the abusers gives power BACK to the people.

I tried learning Dvorak about 9 years ago, and I got good enough for IMing and emails and whatnot, but I found it extremely difficult to context-switch between coding-editor keystrokes and conversational keystrokes. I know it has its fans, but I could never really get the hang of Vim with Dvorak, and I also didn't type any my emails any faster than I was with QWERTY, so I abandoned it and haven't tried Dvorak since.
Personally I find it so ugly that it ruins the look of everything. It makes me think that nobody gives a damn, and it makes me also not give a damn. Like if all the houses on my house had broken windows, I'd feel like I lived in a dump, and I'd be right. It's like nobody likes to look at things.

I wonder how effective this CharaChorder is at preventing RSI (repetitive stress injury). It still seems to have the same flaw as QWERTY in that it requires you to use your small finger muscles, which are more prone to RSI than say your biceps.

Several days later I am still here with perhaps permanent loss of function. There are a few other youngsters like me with covid complications on the neurology floor, most with less than 2 comorbidities. Oh yea, the ER was packed, 6h to triage.

An exchange is merely a full node with a user interface.

To operate as an exchange there are certain KYC/AML rules they must follow.

Setting up a node takes about 20 minutes and then letting it sync for a couple hours to a day depending on your internet.

You can send crypto with as high or low as a fee as you want...it's just a manipulation of the queueing metric and which transactions miners add to the chain. With exchanges they set that for you.
It's not happening, for multiple reasons.

https://educatedguesswork.org/posts/dns-security-dane/

Reasons not to DNSSEC? The biggest one is that it exposes you to misconfigurations that happen routinely even at large sites (because DNSSEC is hard to manage), for no actual security benefit. The "no actual benefit" part is my big reason, though. DNSSEC is pure path-dependence; people do it because they think they should be doing it, because a bunch of people put a standard together back in the 1990s and have been lobbying for it ever since.

If you proposed DNSSEC today, rather than in 1994, it would go nowhere. But since it's been an IETF effort for 2 decades, it now has a life of its own.
my understanding was that java was originally envisioned as a runtime for iot. i remember reading a lot about how they were expecting it to land in cell phones, set top boxes and other internet connected devices.

they started with applets in the browser. at the time javascript was incredibly immature and used mostly for client side validation of form fields; but was hated by users and developers alike because browser support was inconsistent leading to spaghetti code and bad ux.

java applets were also frowned upon. the jvm was quite heavyweight and would struggle to start up on the pcs of the time. the immaturity of the technology made the uis sluggish and fragile.

i don't think anyone expected it at first, but using java in web backends became very popular. i suspect this was because performance was reasonable once a server was warmed up and it was sort of turning into an ecosystem that a lot of money was being poured into. the microsoft ecosystem for internet stuff at the time was buggy and terrible, with its "systems built to run internally on corporate networks" lineage showing. on the backend, iis was known to be insecure and hard to code for and on the front end, nobody wanted to aid microsoft lock-in with client side vbscribt and activex.

the geeks wanted internet native unix based servers and the well trod options there were java, perl and php (or bespoke options built on them). nobody wanted to do strings in c/c++, further pushing towards high level languages of which java could be a performant one for heavy workloads.

ironically, the java iot dream was eventually realized by google with android. even more ironically, it's probably the most complicating and complained about part of the platform.
This reminds me of the speedrunning community ‘any percent’ ladders and how anything goes to get to the finish. Such a grind, but very specific applicable knowledge, and no meaningful generalizable growth at the end to bring to another game.
All power structures are authoritarian. Get rid of congress, and you'll simply have your local landholders pay private enforcers to keep the rabble in line. Property rights in theory apply to everyone, but in practice, are consistently enforced in a way that protects large, wealthy property owners more than everyone else.
No, they still lack the common sense of a toddler, because they don't know anything about the world; they only know (in great detail) about the structure of their training data.
The problem is that all too often, these types of examples tend to be cherry picked.

I intensely hate music at supermarkets, especially just before Christmas. They would also need to ban children during “spectrum hour”: I avoid shopping just after school is out to avoid screaming kids or kids on the loose.

Wouldn’t it feel like you were participating in a movie genre if everybody was on the autism spectrum at a particular time in the supermarket?

My experience is that generally you can't bypass leetcode interviews via networking.

At most, you might be allowed to skip the phone screen. Or you might be given slightly more leeway in getting the solution.

There are exceptions of course. One close friend/ex-colleague has an uncanny ability to network himself into a coding job at various NYC hedge funds. These being hedge funds, they all pay at least above average (we're not talking about Citadel or Jane Street here), but the downside is that he has to be very unpicky about what the role exactly entails. So this can lead him to very unsexy jobs like shuffling XML feed files back and forth or doing MS Access/Excel VBA stuff, etc. But he can snap his fingers, make a few phone calls to executives and managers he knows at multiple mid tier hedge funds, and start working in a matter of days.
Has anyone tried this with coding? It looks like this is very focused towards writing English, which is fine, but as someone who spends a good chunk of my day around code editors, a keyboard that is crap for code editing is a non-starter.

However, if it's good for that, I will probably be buying one.

Levels is self reported and wouldn't have rigorous sampling, to my knowledge. Not ton mention it's new and growing which could mean younger, lower paid, job seekers might have been a bigger part of the user base earlier on.

In PoW you don’t know the next block hash; I wonder if it’s possible for this ZK word puzzle system to be somewhat like that? I suppose it would have to unlock the next puzzle as soon as somebody submits a valid solution, so it wouldn’t be playable on a day to day basis.

Maybe a less on-chain but still relatively decentralized solution for long intervals between puzzles is a chainlink VRF oracle.

> I'd also add: it's kinda funny to see so many programmers hating on Java and thinking that, somehow, Java is dead or dying, yet on a daily basis they'll use one of the JetBrains tools, written in Java, to work on their "non Java" code.

And even JetBrains is working on a language to replace Java (which yes, runs on the JVM, but it also runs not on the JVM).

Java is a fine language, and one that I have the most experience with. I'm glad it's there, but I also think that increasingly it will not be the default choice for greenfield projects. That is typically what people mean by a dying language: it's only used for projects in maintenance mode.
Sounds like then the truly moral position would be to cut out the government entirely. If the freeholder is ready to take on the grave responsibility of ensuring every single interaction, both large and small, are secure, then they should also be responsible for guaranteeing their own rights from all threats large and small, and not abdicate that in favor of a shadowy government.
Not what it says.

Immunocompromised people, in order for their "omicron" to develop resistance to the various treatments available (the monoclonal antibodies) must have been exposed to those treatments. If they were exposed to those treatments, they were being followed medically. If they were being followed medically, and receiving long-term treatments, it's then odd that they didn't infect a single other person in a year and a half.

On the other hand, there's the somewhat bigoted implication that "oh there are a lot of remote people in Africa that don't come in contact with anyone else." Well, then how did their omicron develop resistance to all the fancy treatments?

Either it's an immune compromised patient who never came in contact with anyone else, and the specific resistance to monoclonal antibodies, which they never received, is not explained.

Or it's an immune compromised patient who received intensive treatments for a long time, in which case the lack of any intermediate variants ever being documented is not explained.

S/he didn't say immunocompromised people don't have antibodies.

S/he says mice don't have human antibodies, so if the "mouse hypothesis" is correct, how did the mice, unless they were lab mice, get the immunity to all these human treatments?
Very cool - just took a quick glance (gotta run right now) and it's already on my cool&useful tools menu. Thanks!
> How is not disclosing a salary range in itself discriminatory?

It's discriminatory as a matter of law because the law defining it says so.

It's practically not inherently discriminatory, but it's a technique which increases the opportunity and difficulty of proving arbitrary discrimination, including on prohibited grounds, and which serves no other purpose other than enabling difficult to certainly identify (by the target) discrimination (both on prohibited grounds and otherwise).
In EMT training, you're taught that if someone tells you they're going to die, believe them ("feeling of impending doom" IIRC).

Well, maybe next time you get somebody that implements a standard.

With that kind of behavior (not letting you speak to anybody, the blocking is understandable), it's clear you shouldn't keep their services. So, you have now an opportunity to do it right, and make the next move cheaper.

Agree, I ended up stripping the "self-learning" component from my platform (presbot.com) after consistent incoherent and dumb responses. Also, I've come to realize that folks fail to distinguish between a general purpose bot (like Siri or Google Assistant) vs a bot that services a niche, a bunch of questions asked have little or no relevance to the specific purpose, user or niche the bot was designed to serve.

I'm not sure what KAR is exactly, is that another name for Rojava? I'm familiar with the kurdish autonomous region of Iraq, which is also known as KRG. It is basically democratic capitalist. Honestly looks like a middle eastern version of america in a lot of ways and is the most prosperous part of Iraq.

All of the time I spent in Rojava was as a member of YPG. It was a few months. Most of the time was on border or self-defense tabor for defense against ISIS. My contributions were not particularly note worthy, mostly just helping them maintain their positions.

Naturally my view was not the best view of civilian. But I did travel through much of the territory and witness the people. There is definitely class and considerable disparity in quality of life, as their are nicer condos in the city cores and people in slums in the perimeters. Capitalist vendors are in the cities selling anything from cell phones to nuts. Most of the vendors were your garden variety 3rd world stalls kind of like how the storage facilities look with the metal sliding gates in front that they open up when ready for business.

Middle East culture is in general very hospitable and once taken as a guest you are taken care of until you decide to leave. But If you just entered the country as a civil citizen I'm not sure you'd find your lot any better off than in the traditional capitalist government in KRG. Qamislo and Erbil for instance are worlds apart in what they offer, although the wars are no doubt a large part of that.

It's my understanding there is collective union for some of the farming, oil extraction, and maybe some other natural resource extraction. Traditionally the kurds have also gotten a lot of income from smuggling due to their unique position in the mountains but I do not know how that is interconnected with governance.
You know how capitalism ensures prices are correct by a process of negotiation, and supply and demand? This is exactly that, in labor form. This process of negotiation, over many many many people, is what determines wages.

If you block that process "companies can't negotiate with you, they have to give you a rate and that's it", you will cause a lot of unintended consequences for the labor market.

Be very very careful making such changes.
It's quite strange you forward the texts VIA text; why not ingest it in any other format? Slack, internal database, logs, ...

Underground is safer, less prone to accidents (trees falling), take less space, reduces deaths and injuries by car accident (cars hitting poles), less maintenance due to not being exposed to elements, and of course the aesthetic aspect.

Honestly the aesthetic aspect alone should be enough. We care about the aesthetics of everything else around us and a lot of it is also fairly well regulated. Wires are absolutely hideous and it's perfectly feasible to bury them in most cases
Unless we get to some sort of AGI (or partial AGI), I don't really see this playing out like this. We're already seeing employers capitulate quite hard when they're short on labor: a stark rise in compensation, shorter work weeks, better benefits and so on.

That's for the phone itself, isn't it? So there would have to be some sort of hardware enclave involved that would rate limit guessing.

Signal has no end point security past the phone so they would want the phone security to be as good a possible.
Using Amazon as an example. If you were given a 10k grant (bear with me here) in 2018 and held on to that until now (when it all vested in 4 years)....

2018 price. 1170$, say 10 shares so 11700$

Right now its worth once you get it lets say 3260$ a share.

So you got over 300 percent return. If you are saying "just give me the 11k in cash and let me buy my own stocks. Well they could, you'd get probably taxed more for that though. (depending on how you handled it, where you lived, et cetra)

That tax difference when you are talking 100ks of stock is entire lower class people salaries for a year.

You can also play some interesting financial games with that much stock. You can put up 100k as collateral for a loan that will have very compelling interesting rates if its a stock that is seen positively and low risk like Amazon stock. And the tax that money is handled tax wise is also interesting.
I'm not sure. If Chris Seaton pops into the thread, you should ask him.

Defaults are important. The world runs on defaults. Bad defaults cause real problems and take real work to fix, so it's fair to blame software for poor out-of-the-box behavior, even if it can be configured away.
