I don’t think I can suggest a singular book everyone should read, but I can say which book probably had the biggest effect on my way of reading.

I’m dyslexic and growing up reading was always a challenge, despite doing well at school and university I was a slow and uncritical reader. My girlfriend (now wife) was teaching The Great Gatsby to a class and practically made me read it. The process of reading that book and discussing it with her completely changed the way I read, it was an enlightening and incredibly enjoyable experience. It was as much about the discussions we had about the book as the book itself.

So my recommendation is find a book that you can read and discuss in depth with someone else. For me it has become a delight for us to both read a book and then talk in depth about it. You gain so much more insight.

It's actually USA law that is the problem here.

Specifically, the fact that USA agencies can do whatever they want whenever they want with EU citizens data and have 0 accountability to EU citizens.

Basically, we have as much rights as USA intended for terrorists.

We had "Privacy Shield" framework that was allowing to transfer data to USA, but the framework (and the one before that) was invalidated by the European Court of Justice in Schrems II ruling due to lack of protections for EU citizens in USA law.

I don't think the Fed is going to go to a digital dollar just to cut Fed funds to negative. It just doesn't seem like it has enough reward for the risk and stress on the banks.

I'm often reminded of the saying by H. L. Mencken "Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem — neat, plausible, and wrong."

Now, I do agree that 80% of all engineering problems that one comes across in practice are amenable to the kind of problem solving tactic where instead of solving problem X, you instead look for opportunities to solve adjacent problem Y which is of lesser complexity.

But sometimes, problem X is just really the problem you actually have and actually need to solve. And you need to add to that the fact that I specifically seek out these situations, because craftsmanship ranks high among my personal values.

To give you a bit of context: Using data from the stack overflow developer survey, I rank in the 87th percentile among developers in terms of years of my life that I've been coding, 70th percentile in terms of years of coding professionally when I don't count my Ph.D. as "professional" coding. The Ph.D. puts me in the 97th percentile of educational attainment, and happens to be from a top-5-ranked university. I spend 50% of my time at work doing boring mundane things like implementing ETLs, which I've done professionally since I was 15 years old (I'm now 37), and I don't even complain about that.

With the other 50% of my time, I try to get my psychological needs around craftsmanship met, and seek out the toughest engineering problems we have in the company where I work. And then those are precisely the sorts of situations, where I have 20-somethings who are my bosses tell me that I always overcomplicate things. This feels extremely humiliating to me, and is a huge lost opportunity for the company.
> The agenda I'm pushing is the facts about the crashes that are consistently omitted from popular narratives about it.

So you're saying that out of 3 flights with this issue occurring: 2 have crashed and 1 has been recovered by the crew. And this supposed to be a supporting point? So 66% failure ratio due to whatever circumstances?

Everywhere in this thread you are saying that MCAS was a good concept, the execution wasn't. As a software person, albeit not in aviation but worked with piston aviation engines engineers (so I kinda understand the whole concept of airworthiness and what goes into the certification process), I have to say that there are many ideas one comes across as sound on paper but should never be done just because they can be done.

The other thing which really raises my eyebrows is the claim, and I'm sorry if I'm misinterpreting what you are saying, that the EA and LA crews were able to apply the correct procedure multiple times yet the aircraft still crashed?

> But the pilots bear some responsibility, too, because they did not follow runaway trim emergency procedures.

So here's a question: would that single procedure justify the need to retrain pilots? Why would pilots fail to execute this emergency procedure if the aircraft was flying like the original 737 or NG? Would the crew be required to execute the same procedure on earlier 737's in a similar scenario?

I'm pretty sure only the bytecode is actually stored on the blockchain, not the source behind it. Cloning a smart contract would be as hard as decompiling any program. Although simple changes like what you are talking about (setting the fee to 0) sounds like it would be done almost immediately. It would probably violate whatever software license is being used, but... woo decentralization! No central authority to enforce these laws... It's not something I'm even close to knowledgeable about though, so if I'm wrong someone please correct me.

Deployed contracts are bytecode. It's up to the author to publish it on sites like etherscan.

Yes decompilers exist I'm sure at some level of reasonable output. That's a problem that has existed in all paid software.

Or like my sibling said you supplement the contract with a good UI, additional tools, good branding, etc.

But then on the other hand open source exists with contracts too.

Almost every defi swap on multiple chains (evm compatible) is based off Uniswap. There's multiple versions and the clones have upgraded as needed and it's all accepted. Makes integration with existing explorers and wallets easier as well. Most support these uniswap-compatible contract clones because the API is the same.

When Nazi regime came to power it was already too late.

And protections against ant-Semitic expression were too weak as evidenced by Nazi regime coming to power by being elected in democratic process.

Another source: https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/nazi-propa...

"When the Nazis came to power in 1933, the German constitution guaranteed freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Through decrees and laws, the Nazis abolished these civil rights and destroyed German democracy. "

But I concede that there are exactly opposite views.

After all it's history so anyone is free to make stuff up about it that fits his narrative.

> The rise and success of "TED talks" as a non-American struck me as the epitome of the American "post-empire" mindset

TED talks were limited to «rich and successful people»: there have been researchers and just experts. The rise of TED talks could have struck you as the positive potential of being able to informing a public in very condensed messages.

While you see a «"post-empire" [local] mindset», others would call a worldwide-spreading virus revealed in the thirst for "inspiring". Which not only is unleashed emotion for the sake of it: oftentimes it is emotional porn, when acted on basis which are thinner than its dried-up context (when the "feel" is much larger than the facts). This celebration of the "feel" blinding the "see" may be decadent, but it is not limited to the «"post-empire"».

Anderson (founder of Zzap!, for example) was and is an enthusiast, an enthusiast he remains, his creatures may naturally be consequently influenced. He had a chat with an irritated Linus Torvalds, who had to explain it that his pleasure as an engineer was to see cleverly built engines, not, well, "emotional porn" (and an unhappy Anderson greeted him at the end with a "Thank you for the Internet"?!). But mind you, good results can be an emergent side effect of enthusiasm: without Anderson, no Zzap! and no TED, and we all would be poorer.

Poorer, because TED, more and more unfiltered (the selected number of issues of 15 years ago has multiplied - the quality fall is as expected), produces lots of noise mixed with the signal, but good TED talks have been had and are still produced today.

The three names you threw in may indicate you check TED with an interest leaning towards colossal business enterprise; an interest towards research aimed to productive enterprise would be a more fitting target, sometimes met.

That is not what I mean.

It would not prevent a clash with another "Illuminate" namespace.

The problem is that the developer of "Illuminate\Mail" had to introduce the "Illuminate" namespace and hope nobody else uses it.

Additionally it makes the code more complex. Every file needs to carry this "namespace ...." line now.
Covid is only a small share of patients in hospitals. Many things prevent hospitals from filling up, such as quitting smoking, eating healthy, exercising, only having protected sex, quit riding a motocycle, doing regular breathing exercises, and many many other things. We don't mandate these, but many people do them on their own, because they want to live longer. Or they don't and maybe they die earlier, but society has no say in this.

Vaccines are mandated in order to prevent the spread of the disease. If the vaccines do not do that job, then mandates are unethical, because they undermine bodily autonomy, while giving a false sense of security.
I honestly do not think that the logical conclusion is that Shakespeare's English teacher was the best English teacher of all time.

I interpreted the implication of the talk as being that Shakespeare's formal schooling, or lack of it, was at best irrelevant to his development as a great creative writer. This still supports the thesis of the talk - that the price children pay to participate in formal schooling is not worth it.

The way I see it is that you alias the import mail as mailer. You hope there are no other libraries called mail in your import path. PHP fixes that by requiring all libraries called mail to be dependent on their own namespace so that there will be no collisions.

I think that neither do make assumptions on how the code is called when used, only one is preventing name collisions.
Actually, when you say that someone is on a crusade, you usually do mean that he is involved in some kind of holy war (be it for an actual religious topic, e.g. against abortion, or for something that can be considered a religion, such as an extreme adept of a programming language - see also "evangelist"). So it's not about physically fighting, but still "fighting for some strongly-held belief" in a more general sense.

...maybe you mean "cruise"?
The mayonnaise system is definitely not the solution. Rather it has the same fundamental problem. What is needed is a faceted classification system, which provides much less rigid categories and must higher detail where it is needed.

The issues LC have are not new. Neither are the solutions. Faceted classification is over hundred years old. But the reason something hasn't been done is how costly it is to break with the system you are using. Reclassifying is prohibitively expensive, and you get a discontinuation in the catalogue. Which rarely is worth the trouble of changing.
There is 'use as'.

It does to an extent, but the majority of users complaining about it are like the Twitter users complaining about it on Twitter and the YouTubers complaining about censorship on YouTube. In order for those companies to change their strategy they would have to see a mass exodus of users due to their actions. With the number one priority of large corporations being profit, they will continue to justify the censorship of a few until it impacts their profits.
Someone else mentioned it, but I'll add some meat to the reasoning: Taleb's Fooled by Randomness.

He's cooked quite a lot of soup on this stone, and he's built a comically aggressive persona, but the original book is still quite relevant.

> But really? Isn't the logical conclusion the opposite? That Shakespeare's English teacher was the best English teacher there ever was, because (he) helped him grow into the author we know now?

I'm sure he had help, but if it were due to the teacher, there would have been hundreds of Shakespeares from all the pupils that teacher taught throughout their career. That wasn't the case though. Out of all the pupils that Shakespeare's teacher had, only one of them became Shakespeare.
One superpower I wish I had would be to get the objective answer why something did or did not happen. Why did the station not get shut down? Were there key people in place that actively prevented it? Were certain questions simply not asked?

I like the "we want to be good train people" argument, of course. It reinforces some faith in humanity. But it would be funny if there was some weird subsidy + very old agreement that everyone is too embarrassed to talk about.

Well, not impossible. My wife's boss actually manage to fire a pregnant employee, due to incompetency, but it made much easier by the fact that reviews and complaints had come in earlier.

I agree that just buying the most expensive monitor is waste of resources. On the other hand, I think price shouldn't even come into the picture when deciding on basic things, such as the number of monitors or whether to choose 4K monitor or just FHD.

I guess the most reasonable approach is to select a set of models that pass the requirements and only then think about the price.

Some requirements are really expensive though. If one insists on OLED and wants to fit 3 4K monitors side by side the full setup cost is around $10k.
The thing I am failing to understand is if users embeddings can be moved across the Atlantic. The regulation is really not clear about that. I mean, if my browsing habits / purchase preferences can be compressed in an array of 512 floats that is gibberish (and for all intense and purposes a 1 way function unless you have the other tower of two towers model for recommenders) does that break regulations?

If it doesn't, I am failing to see the technical problem that Meta is facing, especially considering all the resources and engineering manpower they have. A quick back of the envelope calculation for a worst case scenario tells me that assuming 1B users and 1B ads corpus * 512 * 32 bits that's around 30 TBs to move to keep US and EU users and ads portfolio in sync. Considering the connectivity that Facebook already has between US/EU and the future capacity (https://www.zdnet.com/article/nec-scores-deal-to-build-faceb...) these can be recalculated and synced multiple times per day.

And if moving embeddings outside of the EU is not allowed, they could create temporary ones for the users when they are browsing in the US. Considering that the vast majority of EU users in the US are there for holidays/short stays I would also expect the purchasing habits to change since they are in a different mood/context.

So I think this is a PR stunt to avoid doing the extra engineering work and managing investors expectations.
The idea that changing the LoC classification system would have any impact on thought or research seems laughable to me. But Orwell was right that one of the best ways to exert power on people’s is through the dictating the language they can use. This seems just seems like another step to try and stifle our intellectual environment by the politically hyper-sensitive left.

> the joke being, of course, that it's ludicrous to think anyone ever tried to teach English to the greatest English writer of all time

That's not the joke.

The joke is, you can't imagine some teacher today tolerating Shakespeare-like talk.

See his intro anecdote. Someone fidgeting and being unruly is more likely to get medicated than educated.

> But really? Isn't the logical conclusion the opposite? That Shakespeare's English teacher was the best English teacher there ever was

Do you know that he wrote because he had the greatest English teacher? Or was it his own passion? Or did he just hate someone's guts enough. For example Harlan Ellison hated his writing teacher. I think the teacher even threw Harlan out of the class. So Harlan being the tiny ball of spite, as he was, mailed mentions of his rewards to the man, some letters even found him post-humously. Because Harlan forgot to check up on him.

I'd love to work in an office if I had my own room, or share one with a few team members at most, but nearly all jobs have open offices with tons of distractions. My last office had 12 employees in a room designed for 6: it was draining my energy and cut my productivity in half.

I'd work in an office if it was actually a place conductive to work, but I'm never working in an open office again.
