Obvious favor to sources hurt their credibility gravely.

When I think NYT, I think "mouthpiece of the powerful" not "hard hitting investigative reporting"
Thank you for your example of how to mislead with non-factual strawmen. This example might be connected to reality if:

1. There actually was a law requiring individuals "wear masks all the time".

2. There actually was a law requiring individuals to get an "endless stream of boosters".

3. Alice respected the boundaries of private businesses that made wearing respiratory protection or vaccination a requirement of associating with them.

4. Alice respected personal preferences of people wearing respiratory protection, rather than violating their personal space or perhaps even assaulting them.

5. Alice paid the costs of her own healthcare, and/or her "insurance" company were efficient enough to charge for her expected increased costs.

6. Healthcare providers were able to freely disassociate with Alice as to not have an undue burden on their resources due to the results of Alice's choices.

7. Alice displayed rational recognition of the scientific and legal realities she was dealing with, rather that irrational rejection of such.

8. Alice displayed some understanding of historical precedents, as pandemics are infrequent events that only appear novel.

I'm a libertarian, so if you want to discuss practical ways of making it so that different value judgements can coexist, I'm all for it. It starts with acknowledging the existing non-independence like the points I listed, and will generally be about nuanced corrections to the medical consensus rather than wholesale rejection. But really, it's fallacious to frame the larger situation as being about individual freedom when the overriding characteristic is political herd behavior. What has really happened is an abrupt change in prevailing conditions, combined with professional political machines preaching simplistic easy answers that play to peoples' biases.
While I haven't personally tried it (and have since given up on BT audio in my setup), there seems to be a way to extract the pairing key from Windows and have the Linux Bluetooth stack use it (see e.g. [0]), effectively making the Windows and Linux host appear identical to the paired device.

I've been working on three projects, from short term to long term:

1. Visual synthesizer to synch with popular music to share and jam

2. Wearable thought recorder to predict your future intent (on hold)

3. Anonymous Collaboration to sort 10^12 intents for 10^9 users

The first is pretty far along. I used to VJ semi-pro on a Wacom tablet and then ported it to the iPad (which Apple deprecated when they moved to 64-bit only). Have rewritten in Swift, and in process of redoing the menuing system in SwiftUI. Kids love it and is a subversive way of leaning STEM concepts through play. Demo of the Wacom tablet version (2005) is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXlkzZubHnM&t=9s

The second is an Apple Watch centric app that I spent a couple years on. Just raise your wrist to record your thoughts. I released a subset of the idea in the AppStore, but didn't market it. Spent a few more months on updating the design but is now on hold. Old version here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/muse-now/id1323143774?ls=1

The third is kinda hard. I spoke at the RSA Data Security conference (1998) on how to share interests without a trusted third party. The idea is to combine some homomorphic blinding to sort intent(s) through a massively parallel graph. It's kinda weird because the graph is an asynchronous cellular automaton. I'm not even sure if it is plausible. It's more of a lossy switching network than a static ledger.

Résumé/CV: on request

I'm an ex big-tech/FANG-ish employee working on FeatureAsk.com open to part-time gigs that will let me live in the US. So, specifically looking for someone willing to: 1) sponsor a H1B, and 2) employ part-time

AFAIK since I already had an H1B I won't have to go through the lottery again.

In a heated hiring market I think making such an offer could be what gives small startups/employers an edge to be able to attract FANG-experienced engineers.

I've worked on application platforms before and am experienced in building distributed applications. Mainly familiar with Java and Python if that matters. 7 years of work-ex.
I am building a site to analyze my investment portfolio - run risk models, evaluate payoff scenarios, and even suggest options trades.

I have been doing a lot of options trading in the past few years, and needed better tools to analyze complicated options positions, so I started with payoff calculator for a set of options (both at expiry, as well as at intermediate times using Black-Scholes). Here's an example: https://tinyurl.com/pa-example

And now I am building other stuff to analyzing your whole portfolio, and to suggest options trades that will lead to a better payoff profile (as per your customizable utility function, eg: you might weigh losses exponentially and profits logarithmically beyond a threshold).

This is a side project; I have a day job and a family, so I get about 4-5 hours a week to work on this. I have been building this in Rails.

I have don't have any current plans of making this a real business. It's fun and useful to me, and I want to keep it that way, but I am open to launching it as a freemium/paid site in the future if others find it useful.

An ideal collaborator would be someone who is good at Javascript and web UI; but most importantly, our goals should match. If you are that person, email me at admin@portfolioanalytics.org (or reply to this comment with yours)
So one (albeit large) backward compatibility break every few decades is too much?

I wonder how you'd classify JavaScript since the language is very backward compatible, yet the popular libraries built upon it break compatibility often.
> This website makes the wrong assumption someone's language is tied to the location.

This is a bit of a premature "remote debugging" done, though.

From what I see, they use Solidus and Rails as backend. This does not rule out your conclusion. But it is not a typical thing: in Rails (and Spree, from which Solidus is forked) it is, for example, far easier to read out the `Accept-Language` header than to do geo-ip language detection. It is easier to the right thing than the bad. Again: not saying this makes it guaranteed the cause.

More likely causes: location-based caching (you got a cached version which was generated using French), or same thing with a CDN.

More likely, because with Rails (and Solidus, and Spree) it is easy to make too-simple-caches, easier to ignore a parameter when building a cache, than to do right thing.
The cost of ad placement depends on the SEO match of the website. It will cost competitor more for the same ad. It's not as blatant.

The ethics of ad is murky. How do you think a search company should make money? Subscription?

100% spot on. You can usually tell on which side of the sales vs tech spectrum someone is on organizationally by this.
I purchased one last year and it's been great so far.

Pros:
- price. I have spare RAM and NVME ssd so this brings the price further down
- modular port...

Cons:
- display/hinge is not very stable
- touch pad is not as good as macbook's. I can't reliably click-and-drag using a singe hand (thumb finger to click, then index finger to drag). On macbook this gesture works perfectly fine.

Wish there is a bigger version, and/or a swappable battery!
While opinion is split on this, these days I don't think you can appeal to strictness alone to justify 'data' being plural, given the way usage has already gone. People (like me) who say 'data is...' are simply using data as a mass noun (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_noun), which seems to be a reasonable direction to be taking the language. I may be influenced by the fact that I usually see 'datum' used to refer to a reference point or marker in some arbitrary space, and thus in my mind is now another word separate from 'data' (albeit with shared etymology). If I had more than one datum, I'd call them 'datums', though I've yet to test how acceptable this would be in a formal setting.
Those workarounds only work because of a lot of work by the app/extension developers to bypass the ads. I know for a fact that google has teams working to fight adblockers and regularly see my Safari adblocker work on YouTube one day, and not work the next.
Fair enough, not sure where I heard that from. Maybe it's more troublesome in the UK, or just a misconception on my part.
> is so fatally flawed. The reason that previously infected people have lower hospitalization rates is that some percentage of people who were previously infected and at risk of hospitalization _died_.

The deaths are obviously a tragedy, but given that they've already happened, what is their relevance here? Having survived a past infection predicts better outcomes. If that's because all of those that would have succumbed already did, it doesn't change that the surviving convalescent crowd is not high risk.

essentially?
I still have mine (v. 1). I called support once about it. It can get into a mode where it needs to be rebooted. Overall, they work fine. Be sure to download the app and install the latest firmware update.

Also, using the audio cable and charging cable at the same time results in annoying digital noise in the headphones. It may be a ground loop issue that can be broken by charging and listening with different relative ground sources (gnd of USB must be different than the audio gnd).
Owners of code can always change their licence. Being a public company with a board of directors doesn't change anything.
I can't remember exactly the situation I was in with power cords and devices, but at least once the ability to just swap which side of my computer the USB-A port was on was extremely useful.
I wish I could buy one in Turkey, but probably our customs would add %80 markup over it considering if they'd clear it in a month. I love my Mac, but Framework excites me and even Thinkpad's are not going well. I miss my XFCE with Arch.
I wished they took it one step at a time rather than tackling so many issues at once. Making a repairable laptop would be enough to jumpstart the mission.

Making it repairable, upgradable, customizable and using morally sourced raw materials seems like too much for a start-up to handle. If they focused on 1 or 2 goals at a time, I reckon they'd be able to manufacture these faster and cheaper.
Through 200x, NPR was always having CIA flacks on. They seem not to be doing that anymore, since about Manning/Snowden.
In their defense, ehen the same people are rich because they've managed to find ways to economically scale systems that passively constrain or otherwise obviate reality's conformance with commonly held expectations, while everyone else labors while respecting certain lines should not be crossed...

...Let's just say that they have a decent leg to stand on from the stand point of "you got rich brcause you broke the code, not because you did anything better in good faith".

Admittedly, we should all be equal before the law. Only one group though typically can field an army of lawyers to massage case law.
You make it seem like straight white men conspired to take over the industry and box everyone else out. Last few teams I have been on were very skin diverse. They all had privileged cushy backgrounds though...except for one of the white men who was self-made.

The power base in the US is white middle class. It's not just software that is dominated by white men. Law, medicine, construction, management at corporations. Not just white men. Privileged white men and the few "diverse" people mostly come from a level of privilege that would make my white lucky ass sick to my stomach.

Nice comment.
Arbitrage of the spread is definitely a pro bettor's goto. You don't need to care about or analyze the game at all.

Groups of them often would try to manipulate the spreads with individual bets and then go big on the arbitrage.

I remember an article where some guy thought he was getting an inside view of a pro sports bettor. I remember he sent him on a bunch of casinos to bet specific games. He didn't realize the bettor was using his budget for the story and him as a gofer to setup the arbitrage.

All the celebrity sports bettors on sports TV can't be trusted. They'll either give "mainstream" views, or are trying to manipulate the spreads in their favor. You really think they have critical insight into Southwest Regional Tech State vs University of Appalachian A&M&T women's basketball?
Fresh out of school, you're worth just about as much as someone you graduated with.

20 years into your careers, you may be worth 10x or 1/10 of that same person.

Why waste people's time? It's a waste of time interviewing for a place if you know they aren't offering anything close to what you'll be asking. And if you're making 2-3x the median salary for that job title, you should probably get a comp range up front.

I've been burned by this a lot. Don't talk comp, go through hours of interviews, taking afternoons off for in person interviews (in the before times), all to find out that their maximum for for the position is a 25% pay cut.
If you're interested - Piano Gym is looking for others who are interested in building out our existing website and tools

Here's a quick video explaining it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faxNDhOjlh4

Piano Gym is a learning and practice ecosystem focused on prioritizing music theory and performance skills acquisition through the use of flash cards. We use flash cards in order to pair them with modern learning techniques like spaced repetition, graded feedback, and progress tracking so that you can practice material and work through content that is managed by Piano Gym, and all you have to do is enroll in a school/course/lesson and do your reps! Just show up every day and do 15 minutes of reviews. You're going to make progress.

Our website uses the Piano to navigate exercises as well as regular keyboard/mouse input. We work on browser technology and are looking to eventually make it mobile devices.

We provide content creation for everyone so that anyone can make their own schools/courses/lessons and the best part is each school gets its own landing page.

For example we're using the methods book from https://freepianomethod.com which is provided by Mayron Cole, and if you wanted to practice it without signing up or enrolling you could easily visit this link:
https://pianogym.com/schools/Mayron%20Cole%20Method

Even better when you find the piece you want to practice you can share it directly like so:
https://pianogym.com/schools/Mayron%20Cole%20Method?sheet_mu...

Our goal is to do this for free. We believe that no one should be blocked from learning. And one of the issues with this at the moment is that our team is very small and has been currently working nights and weekends to make this happen. We would love the chance to add a technical member to our team in order to build this product out to its full vision.

If you're interested please feel free to direct message me or reach out on social media :)

At the very least, you will get injured doing farmwork. I don't have statistics on hand, but I'd wager the need for emergency medical support is likely far higher than a white collar office job.
In the software world, this is usually described as "source-available", where the source is, well, available, but the license has restrictions such as not allowing commercial use.
Nice idea, but how will you deal with spam without spending all your resources into moderation?
Energy efficiency is usually expressed as a percentage in one of two forms:

1. (useful energy out) / (energy in)

2. (theoretical minimum energy consumption) / (actual energy consumption)

In thermodynamic systems the second is often expressed as "isentropic efficiency" or similar.

In computing the second term can also be expressed using Landauer's limit [0], the theoretical minimum energy consumption of computation. Current computers are still shockingly inefficient in this regard, taking several orders of magnitude more energy usage than the "ideal" minimum.

So really, as inefficient as a gasoline engine is, it's nowhere near as bad as even the smallest, most modern CPU.

"Millions of times" level of inefficiency is like burning banknotes for warmth.

A simpler approach: just be nice to recruiters.

Even the cold-calling, working-for-an-agency, just-wants-10%-of-your-salary recruiters. Most of them are simply nice people who are trying to make a living in a difficult and incredibly competitive business. Some are assholes, no doubt, but just being polite until they prove that they are cost you very little.

I had a recruiter reach out this morning to tell me about great opportunities in <city> with <company>. I don't want to work for that company, ever, for serious ethical reasons. I don't want to move to that city (though it's not a terrible place).

I simply said "Hi <name>, thanks so much for reaching out. I'm not really interested in any new opportunities right now. I'm also planning a fully remote career from now on, so moving to <city> doesn't really work for me. Thanks for reaching out though".

It took 30 seconds. It burned no bridges. It made no presumptions about them and didn't try to harm them back for wasting my time.

If they persist, I'll ask them to please take me off their list and not contact me again- as politely as I can manage.

So far this strategy has proven 100% effective at handling recruiters, but it also makes me feel better because there's no negative emotions involved.
