Now go back to what the previous article was saying about decentralized (/federated) systems being slower, and consider how Discord got more popular than Matrix despite coming out a bit later (so it's not a question of "transitioning" - why not picking Matrix (or XMPP/Jabber) right off the bat ?), and despite Matrix being clearly more aligned with the decentralization values supposedly espoused by the "web3" people ?

And let me guess, do these people also "build together" using the centralized and proprietary Github built on top (and now bought by Microsoft, who knows what they'll do of it now...) of the decentralized git ?
Don’t forget the squashed pictures of the actual cameras.
It seems to me that one essential function of high school is being served here: to teach that in the realm of human behavior, “horrible” and “normal” are not mutually exclusive.
Huh. If this is my last minute, I'm definitely not doing the dishes.
All of my school aged kids are below seven. They absolutely can not handle themselves on their own. There are many like me.
In most circumstances (assuming it's during normal school hours and not an after-school program or something) it's in normal classrooms. I think there's some variation on whether students can't choose a classroom (IE "I need to work on or get help with Math") or it's always an assigned room (IE "my study period is always Ms. XYZ's room).

The more you capture, the more you have to play with at later production stages.
I had never thought of doing that. I just tried, and clicking the + symbol in WhatsApp gives me option to send photos/video, documents, contact, and location.

If I choose documents, I do not see where I can go to select photos/videos in the iPhone camera roll. I presume it may not be accessible that way.

Also, I presume WhatsApp does not want to allow people to send photo/video at full size in their network to reduce bandwidth costs.
These kids have been getting robbed of a proper education since well before the pandemic arrived. Holding them back a year is just going to create a generation of delayed adults that will ripple through the economy in ways we can't even imagine.

But lets try:

Shifting average graduation age to 18-19

* Drop out rate: TO THE MOON!

* Shit pay "high school" jobs no one wants: Now for adults!

* Wages don't just stagnate by age groups: Stagnant wages for everyone!

* Entering the work force a year later? Great reason to raise retirement age!
My understanding is that it works like this:

1) Apple pays PR company to write a really compelling pitch for an article (maybe even writing basically the whole thing, or at least providing all the quotes and whatnot)

2) Journalist writes the article because hey, it’s a great story (which will get lots of clicks) being handed to them on a silver platter
If the school is so easy that you have to self-study to stay engaged, then you don't have to worry about flunking your chemistry exam.

This is very different from, say, perceiving school to be "so easy" that you are too advanced for it.
Imo you’re probably already nearly there. Most new developers are web developers having done a 6 week bootcamp and while there is an abundance of these roles now, I imagine they will be the first to be automated.

Don't lie.

Both in this thread (and in others not involving me, e.g. below) you have been continually presenting a chronology of the situation that omits the crucial fact that before he was fired he was told to stop using email to discuss these matters (including specifically references to these "attacks" against him). An explicit directive, in other words. Then he willfully chose to violate this directive.

Any attempt to paint this simply as a matter of "getting fired for criticizing BLM", therefore, is flat-out misleading.

That's enough to conclude our discussion on this matter.

No, even without RCS the quality seems to be decent. Even on my old BlackBerry receiving a video from a Windows Phone over MMS had decent quality.
That kind of distortion is naturally common to most anamorphic lenses, but especially apparent in older glass. See: Soderbergh’s vintage anamorphic choices in No Sudden Move.

In the old days, they would mostly restrict anamorphics to locked off shots/specific compositions to minimize how visible these type of distortions can be.
> Japan has students come in on alternate days, so that the school can operate at 50% capacity. Mask mandates, social distancing and temperature checks are enforced strictly.

Citation? I am familiar with Japan's national Covid policies, and I have heard nothing of this. In general, Japan allows the prefectures to make their own decisions, and for issues like this, prefectures issue requests, not mandates. This paper suggests that even at the outset of the pandemic, the range of NPIs imposed by Japanese schools was quite variable:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01571-8

This news story from September 2020 explicitly says the exact opposite of what you're implying -- school districts operating at maximum capacity, and interventions varying based on what (for example) the PTA decided to pay for:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/japan-schools-back-in-session-c...

"Typical classrooms in Japan would seem to flunk the 3C test, however. In Ms. Katayama's classroom, desks were spaced just enough to walk between. Regulations allow up to 40 children per classroom."

"Last month, a panel of scholars and education researchers in Tokyo launched a petition to urge rapid adoption of smaller classes. Class size "should be reduced to 30 right now, and quickly, to 20," the panel said."

"Japan's Riken research institute, working with Kobe University, argues that even large classes can be held safely — provided ventilation is sufficient."

Japan is a big country, and -- just as with masks -- there's a fair amount of "orientalism" going on in the west, in terms of overgeneralization and stereotyping of their response to the virus. My only overarching observation is that they've been much more relaxed than we are in the US.
I don't understand. This is what you took away from this? I thought this post shows that keeping schools open is an absolute fantasy. This is one of the best funded schools in NYC; it's going to be absolute shambles in the rest of them.

I wasn't discussing using random UUIDs.
One nifty thing you can do with snapshots in games is use it for save/restore/undo.

See for example the Z-machine used for interactive fiction, and its younger cousin Glulx: https://www.eblong.com/zarf/glulx/Glulx-Spec.html#saveformat

(Apart from that, I’d note that Glulx and the Z-machine are both terrific examples of detailed VM specifications. Glulx is impressive because it was built by one person, the Z-machine possibly even more impressive as it was reverse-engineered by insanely dedicated Infocom fans.)
Basically she's saying the current models would be poor tools to use for deciding what to do about climate change and moreover the media is too simplistic and confident when they make extreme weather attribution. But that is nothing new --hence Gell-Mann amnesia effect.

>"And that is what I think is the biggest problem. The way that extreme event attributions are presented in the media conveys a false sense of accuracy. The probabilities that they quote could be orders of magnitude too small. The current climate models just aren’t good enough to give accurate estimates."
Some anecdotes. In some traditional cultures I am aware of (Korea, high-altitude eastern Himalayas), fern consumption tends to be, but is not always, linked to the start of spring (end of winter) as the ferns are often the first things to emerge from snow, and only the smallest fronds and not the mature fronds are eaten. This may have a bearing on carcinogenic capacity. I've personally eaten a lot of fern in Yunnan. However, stomach cancer is highest in the world in Korea and highest in men and they are not huge fern eaters. One assumes the projected causes would be behavioral (high alcohol liquor) and dietary (meat, kimchi = lowers stomach pH + chilli to irritate stomach lining) in conjunction. Could have easily been the same in the article's sample size of one. In China edible ferns are referred to as 蕨菜 (jue cai). They're quite tasty stir-fried with tomato and garlic. Tell you what though - fern spori are scary looking under a microscope!

I just did some research on raspberries (commercial berries are notorious for pesticide residue) and apparently hydroponically grown berries are roughly equivalent to soil-grown berries in blind student taste tests and, despite soil-grown being technically sweeter if you do the chemistry, this is theorised as being due to water-related stress (so you could perhaps emulate this with a more sporadic hydroponic watering schedule if you want extra-sweet berries). In short: no reason not to grow at home, if you are familiar with the basics.

No longer caring about Covid isn't the same as being against vaccines. Many people no longer care about it because vaccines are widely available to anyone who wants the - except for young kids, who are much lower risk from Covid anyway.

I would even bet most anti-mandate folks in the US are in fact vaccinated, because the vast majority of US adults are vaccinated, including in states like Florida that are particularly anti-mandate.

Stats on how much mandates help given a vaccination rate would be very interesting.

I have developed a few c++ web services recently.

Developing in c++ vs (for example) python does seem like more work. I think it is a consequence of offering more control, which is expected in the c/c++ community.

What the two options offer.. Is different. With a higher level language, you can get more work done for less cost [1]. With a lower level language, you get more control —- which is great, but you shoulder that responsibility yourself. And you recognize this already..

If you want to move with the crowd (which the higher level abstractions are likely tailored for), then you will be able to move fast and far. When you need to exert more control, however, things get tricky.

For example managing the OpenSSL library used in your project independently of the system library?

> then reinvented himself as a non-fiction author and highly successful TED Talk speaker.

Unsure how much of prestige it is these days to be a TED speaker. I lost respect to them long ago, and stopped listening to their talks once I realize how much they filter, so you are never going to be sure whether you watch piece that is neutral, or some form of hit-piece or one-sided rant. Just recently they decided to remove Theranos' COE Elizabeth Holmes speech; it was a great talk, even given by person that (years later) been found guilty of fraud.

I guess what I'm getting at, is that if you create a bullhorn for interesting people, don't start being politically correct; otherwise you may lose credibility. And audience.

> Any attempt to paint this simply as a matter of "getting fired for criticizing BLM" is flat-out misleading.

You've committed yet another dishonest misrepresentation. I didn't say that criticizing BLM was the sole or "simple" cause of the firing. But only a lunatic or a partisan hack could deny that it was a critical contributing factor, without which the event would not have occurred.

I do not think it is relevant whether TR illegally barred Kriegman from using email to complain about harassment against a protected class. If that is the reason they fired him, let them say so in court and invite the consequences. Until then, there is no evidence.

I am happy to conclude the discussion if it means your stream of lies and misrepresentations will end.
Yep, but also some docs are so underspecified that you find possibilities that the other side didn't even think of to consider, change or document. I think that complements this law (if not yet). And writing even shallow docs is already hard. When there is an knowledge gap between two parties, some assumptions are inevitable, cause otherwise each of two would have to implement overcomplicated logic over nothing. I would like if trades always preceded execution, because that could save me a couple of hours if not a simpler architecture. This is a great driver, even if that would fail once in a week, which may be fine.

Edit: since we are talking examples, there is another one, js object key order. These keys go into Object.keys(), for-in and JSON.stringify() in an insertion order. But the order is not specified, even the reproducibility isn't. So in node, chrome and maybe IE it's always predictable (yet), but Firefox couldn't care less. Same for other languages. Some of them even go to lengths of always randomizing the iteration order to prevent false dependencies.
This is totally arbitrary. Many Nikon cameras match those requirements but are randomly not listed.

You could use an “unapproved” camera and just overwrite the metadata. Nobody would know (unless you’re using an iPhone or something).

> Why does it make sense to count these people as homeless?

It's a social class thing. It's not about having a reliable, warm, dry, safe place to sleep. It's about whether a middle class university graduate's friends would have considered them to have failed at life. Living in a coffin sized apartment with cockroaches everywhere in New York is something they could see themselves doing at some point in their life for career goals or because of bad luck. A trailer is not the kind of place a university graduate lives in.
Lots of people in society today believe everything is politics, and if you do not agree with a person 100% on every political issue then you must refuse to all interactions with them, you must never associate with them, you must never partner with them in area's where you may align, and above all else you must never take money from them...

it is sad existence for these people, one of mono-culture, and cult like adherence to a single political dogma
I think the compression complaint is very fair. It totally negates the excellent camera quality! It doesn’t matter if your camera has excellent dynamic range if dark scenes in Netflix are compressed to shit and look terrible.

Compare to Disney+. As much as I dislike Disney, they have 4K Dolby vision for no extra cost, and quality is excellent. Prime and Netflix could both take examples out of their book. (Some of the compression in recent Amazon shows has also been very bad. For example, the trees in the background of the wheel of time were often a mess of compression artifacts even at 4K.)

I feel the same way about Postgres. It's powerful but it's insanely arcane and full of land mines and footguns. It's great for forcing you to hire consultants, DBAs, or pay cloud providers a lot to run it for you.

Another great video and article from Sabine. So it seems like yes they do, and they can give us useful indicative estimates like lower bounds for the increased likelihood of extreme events, but there are still huge unknowns.

Honestly I’m amazed we can get the estimates we do, given that this particular field of analysis is so young. I’m not as pessimistic about the usefulness of this data though. Knowing that these events are becoming much more likely and having an understanding of why is useful work. There are always unknowns, and now there are fewer of them. That’s good.

Take the estimate that bush fires in Australia are now at least twice as likely than they were. Sure it would be better to know if they are twice, three times or 10x as likely, but knowing they are at least twice as likely and why that is the case is still useful data.
Ford is the only legacy US auto with a convincing entrance into EVs. Has their market cap risen for no reason- or is the market predicting they will take share from their less agile competitors?

There is no in between category. They're classed as homeless because the people doing the classification are of a social class that don't consider trailers acceptable. It's not about material living conditions. It's about social class considerations.
That LibreOffice can create/edit Word documents means that particular requirement would be fine under the proposed bill. Installing proprietary software obviously wouldn't though.
It's not a terribly anecdotal revelation. What's reported from public schools and what's actually going on on the ground are different universes. I'm close to many folks working in the district I reside in. The district desperately needs money which comes from maximizing attendance, hell or high water. Many students and families refuse to get tested even when showing symptom or do things like send a positive kid to school while the rest of the family is crazy sick because "the test must be wrong since they aren't showing symptoms." Teachers are constantly getting sick, the numbers the district reports are basically willfully negligent under-counts, and there's no doubt that parents and teachers are getting it from kids. Now maybe it's less likely in an equal contact situation to get it from kids (I've been reading that the latest strains are more likely to sicken kids, but obviously just news reports), but I don't think that's an antidote to crazy, it just means that it could be much worse if any of the new mutations we are helping to shepherd into being happen to get good footholds in children. (I also don't mean to suggest that some of what schools do isn't just security theater style stuff as applied to a pandemic.)
This is nonsense. If you have a group or N text message participants you really don’t want that 1 person to be non-iOS, because it ruins the benefits of being on iMessage for everyone else. You don’t even get delivery confirmation with regular texts.
I'm pretty sure that not requiring proprietary software to access public interfaces when dealing with my government is not going stop the five eyes to stop spying on me.

That's because my life does not solely revolve around my interactions with government. I am constantly required to use interfaces provided by private organizations, which can have whatever insane requirements that they wish.

Also, I have better things to do with my life then spend half of it excising non-FOSS software from all of my devices and appliances. If the Mossad can listen to me through my toaster prior to passage of this law, I'm afraid that they will still be able to listen to me after it. I suppose I could throw my toaster out and buy a non-Mossad-backdoored one, but how am I to be confident that the new one wasn't backdoored by Bangladesh or Pyongyang?
I agree that statisticians would better than CS people appreciate the importance of uncertainty intervals--it is mostly cultural--but that "In reality there are very few ML applications that don't need confidence estimation and estimation of monetary costs" is empirically false.

If ML application require uncertainty attached to point estimate, we would see plenty more uncertainty intervals attached to point estimates, but in industry, outside of niches (e.g., banking, bio, actuary to name a few), very few bother dealing with them.

I am currently part of a large team (we are talking hundreds) of ML specialists, and I have yet to see a single presentation in which a point estimate was associate with some uncertainty interval. And in my previous company it was the same and when I interview candidates (dozens? hundreds?) I never get a satisfactory answer to the confidence interval vs predictive interval question I ask about.
