Just because we're here talking about how terrible it is doesn't mean that it isn't also hurting the actual cause. The cause isn't to get people to repeat or discuss a slogan, but to make dramatic reforms to police. The slogan hurts that effort by turning people who'd otherwise agree to reforms against supporting the movement. It's a horrible slogan that has made it harder to accomplish the actual aim of police reform.

Looks like it is hooking up AI-powered suggestions to something that doesn't need it.

One super-annoying thing I hit often: the Contacts app on a Samsung phone suggests autocompletes of phone numbers in the edit/add contact flow. Do I now need to explain to stupid computer that I am entering a new number that it does not yet know, ffs?

I mean, seriously, something deep in the OS just sees "oh a phone number goes here? Let me supply one from Contacts...". It's trying to be smart, but in a completely oblivious and counter productive way. It's been like that for years. Does no one use these apps?
The 24.5% cut is fine, you have to consider the 30% app store fees for a majority mobile playerbase, all hosting is free, moderation is a major expense, and engine and platform development.

Successful games subsidize everyone else, which is not comparable to Steam or anything else.

Collectible items are fine and can't be exchanged for USD, Roblox can't arbitrate developer disputes, "black markets" are an extremely tiny niche. A lot of misinformation.

It's annoying to see these videos brought up every single time Roblox is mentioned anywhere for these reasons. Part of the blame lies with Roblox for one of the worst PR responses I have seen in tech, I suppose.
I’m a software consultant for Pharma companies and have worked on projects that used the same kind of study design as the Pfizer COVID vaccine (Kaplan-Meier).

“Raw data” is submitted to the FDA in the CDISC format. This format contains a lot of pretty sensitive medical information, including which diseases a patient has, their medical history, what drugs they take, etc. This is supposed to be anonymized, but if the public were to be able to get this info, I strongly believe there is enough information to re-identify patients. And it’s not as simple as just removing the sensitive medical data because the primary or secondary analyses may be dependent on them.
The US consulates and embassy in China are the only reliable source of information regarding air quality and pollution.

Also, India having a large number of English speakers, probably has a significant percent of the population that prefers getting COVID-19 info from the CDC.
A shallow comment can contain a profound question. "What is the meaning of life?" would be an even shallower comment.

Were a comment to contain new and interesting information about a profound, i.e. generic, question, that would be fine. But this is precisely what internet comments bringing up generic questions don't usually do. It's not a good fit for the genre. Someone who really has something original to say about a profound question would be better off writing an essay, or a book. Certainly not a one-liner to an internet forum.

This is so much the case, in fact, that changing the subject from a concrete topic to a more generic one is a frequent form of trolling.

Metalenz adds the power of polarization to its innovative PolarEyes chips
> Why do you believe that taking money from the top 10% and gifting it to the bottom would result in innovation?

The economics occurring atop the Apple platform should not belong to Apple. Apple created a great product in the iPhone, they slayed the competition, and they have forever positioned themselves as 50+% of American computing. They're making boat loads of profit on hardware sales, accessory sales, first party services and subscriptions. This should not come with the right to tax almost everything happening in mobile computing.

Apple is not innovating in the dating space, the gaming space, the business management space, or the productivity space. They are taxing these industries simply because they established themselves as the toll keep of the winning platform.

None of these companies cares about Apple. They're only building in Objective-C/Swift/iOS because that's what won the market. They'd be much happier to build for an open web platform, but Apple has artificially knee-capped it. Web apps suck because of Apple.

Apple needs to be told by the government this isn't okay. This won't hurt Apple in the slightest. They have a dragon's hoard of cash, will still have the best mobile platform, and have a ton of other incredible revenue streams.

They need to let their stranglehold go so that others can grow too.

Imagine if the roads were 50% Tesla and Tesla took 30% of every Amazon delivery, every trip to the grocery store, and every date you went on. That's what Apple is doing right now. It sounds absurd because it is.

When you're at Roblox's scale, it is often difficult to know in advance whether you will have a lower MTTR by rolling back or fixing forward. If it takes you longer to resolve a problem by rolling back a significant change than by tweaking a configuration file, then rolling back is not the best action to take.

Also, multiple changes may have confounded the analysis. Adjusting the Consul configuration may have been one of many changes that happened in the recent past, and certainly changes in client load could have been a possible culprit.

> Why not associate each patient with a number then log all data against that? Patient names and other identifying information should simply never be attached to trial-related data

Because "patient name" isn't the only way a patient can be identified.

"Male, 27, admitted to Sunnybrook hospital for stitches to his forehead due to knife wound on January 20th 2022" is almost certainly uniquely identifying (actually it's made up so it probably identifies no one), is in the person's medical data for the trial, and clearly needs to either be redacted or in some other way separated from the other line that says "contracted HIV on January 19th 2022". Yet both are relevant when investigating causes of side effects.
Yeah, things have become wildly fragmented since the "plain" 3G modem days, and there are no effective standards for USB multi-point devices (LTE made Ethernet emulation more popular, but weird pseudo-serials to configure them just became... weirder).
If you want to feel some dissonance about this, you might note that this is the exact language the CDC uses for things like secondhand smoke -- "There is no risk-free level of exposure to secondhand smoke" -- which everybody nods along to and accepts without much scrutiny.

Source: https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/seco...

Meanwhile, when it's something like, say, cosmic radiation exposure from commercial air travel, suddenly the CDC is very interested in levels of exposure and has language that provides context intended to downplay the risks.

Source: https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/radiation/air_travel.html

Why these statements bother us when they're about one thing and not another -- or, indeed, why our health agencies would choose language like this for some kinds of risks and not others -- is left as an exercise for the reader.
Depending on the phase of clinical trials, they don't need to be double blind or controlled.

You can absolutely analyze real world mass vaccination data in a scientific way. Just treat pre-vaccination and post-vaccination as two different patients. The numbers are so large that other factors (environmental, genetics, etc) cancel out. So if your post-vaccination population has a rate of heart attacks 80% lower than the established norm, you know that is worth further investigation.

I have not—that was what I was trying (mmcli) early on in my exploration, but I kept hitting speedbumps, so switched gears to configuring the modem over TTY and using QMI utils directly.

Sane people find arguments for stuff they do. If they don't have reasoning (scientific or emotional) for their behaviour, they either change or they aren't sane.
The problem with this argument is that for many (including myself), we just wanted to use Gmail and other Google services with our own domains. That was free and worked perfectly for everything Google offered at the time.

Now, they are asking for more money (It was $6/mo; it's now $12/mo) for less features that apply to us (can't use YouTube Premium or Google Homes on a family plan if you have G-suite, can't port a Voice number from a consumer account into a G-Suite account, amongst other limitations) because Google decided to convert this offering into their business collaboration portfolio instead of leaving it as its own thing.

Worse, if you want to move all of your email, photos, Google Maps activity, etc. to a free account, well, too bad! You can't! You can use takeout.google.com to download everything, but most of that data can't be imported into consumer.

Basically, we were duped, and now our data is trapped.

Personally, I would be happy if Google offered a way to convert legacy accounts into Google Consumer accounts like flipping a switch. Shit, I'd even pay a few bucks/month still for exactly this experience without all of the Google Workspace-y stuff that I never use. (I never use Google Chat, Google Meet, or any of their business-only offerings _because I never wanted those things in the first place!_)
Ah...I thought this was going to be a "camera turned my QR code into a different QR code" like the fake-news "iPhone camera made my friends face a leaf" story. But in fact it just seems like after the QR code is converted to a URL, the app tries to normalize the URL and isn't familiar with a bunch of new TLDs, so it truncates them(for some reason).
The librem costs more than a pine phone iirc. Does it offer things the pine phone doesn’t? Eg, I heard purism has better microcode access to their chips so maybe drivers will be easier to write?

You have successfully made the case for a 45% fee and being considered approximately normal, or a 60% fee and being considered pretty high still. 75+% is crazy.

I wish more folks realized this. I tend to eat healthier if I smoke regularly because of this.
Yes exactly. I'm kind of a broken record on this, but the key thing is static analysis. It's just that with statically typed languages, the type system specification and its implementation give you a giant head start on doing those analyses. You can build other kinds of static analyses for languages without static types, but it's just harder and you're way more on your own; you don't benefit from all the work put into the compiler for the language.

Conservative Democrats have held the leadership roles in the party since the end of the Regan years.

>The Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) was a non-profit corporation founded in 1985 that, upon its formation, argued that the United States Democratic Party should shift away from the leftward turn it took in the late 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. One of its main purposes was to win back white middle class voters with ideas that addressed their concerns. The DLC hailed President Bill Clinton as proof of the viability of Third Way politicians and as a DLC success story.

I can't remember how buffers in DOS work, but that page seems to indicate that for input purposes they're used as some kind of a read-ahead buffer. That doesn't sound quite the same as keeping recently or commonly accessed data in RAM to speed repeated access.

Doing the small things ASAP instead of delaying them (eg. putting a plate in the dishwasher, putting my socks where they belong, responding to that email that I had to).

Whenever I am in a room I check if there's anything that I can quickly fix/improve in under 30 seconds.

Doing all those small things immediately helps train your will power and also reduces the amount of work you have to do later (which gives more spaces for other thoughts).

> we can generally manage diabetes pretty well

We can but it requires the patient to manage their blood sugar very, very carefully and a lot of them can't do it 100% of the time. Whenever they don't, the damage happens and it accrues. I see a guy in the 'hood who's had much of his foot amputated as a result of diabetes.

Or so I've heard. I'm not diabetic myself.

The word "free" just implies a minimal amount of regulation. Monopolies can and do form in free markets. There's even such a term as "natural monopolies," which are things like utility providers, where it would make little sense to have multiple companies servicing the same market. For example, it would not make a lot of sense municipal water systems servicing the same area, due to infrastructure difficulties.

The term you're looking for is "competitive market." In a perfectly competitive market, monopolies don't form, but, there is also no long term economic profit to be had. That is, the sum of "accounting profit" (what you'd typically think of as the "bottom line" of a company's P&L statement) minus opportunity costs tends to 0 in the long term.

Perfect competition is a highly idealized model that can't happen in practice, but is instructive to analyze in theory. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_competition

Back in the day this Java applet by the famous Ken Perlin was fun:
https://mrl.cs.nyu.edu/~perlin/demox/Hyper.html

Recommendation: Your brain actually has two depth perception systems: hardware (using your two eyes for parallax) and software (using visual cues to establish a 3D scene, the way you can with one eye, or when looking at 3d projections onto a 2d surface).

Use each depth perception mechanism for a different axis! In this old applet you could enable stereo projection and also thick-lines-mode which really helped this, and gave me a strong intuitive feeling for the motions of the hypercube.

This has only been out for a few weeks. What makes you think the people who actually know how to do anything are not working together, as opposed to working with each other via email and other private channels that we don't know about?

I suppose the *BSD and linux communities working on this might not work together much, but they are working to very different things so there isn't much they can do together. (even then I expect that they are in contact about "have you figured out X, I can't get it to work" "oh, I got that, the docs say 0x35 which doesn't work but I tried 0x36 and that seems to be everything I need" )

If you are not part of those communities, then it will be tricky to get in. However I trust people who know what they are doing in those communities are working on it. They have been in the past, it just takes them a few months.
