The only problem would be the time difference, assuming you're working for an American company.

I've spent 4 months in Japan as a digital nomad, while working for a company based in Europe. It worked. Now that I live and work in the US, I'm pretty sure the time difference would be too disruptive.
As your [1] points out, the explicit white supremacist structure of ante bellum US had whites at the top (rich whites then poor whites), followed by lighter-skinned blacks then darker skin blacks. Which explains why, "93.1 % of Negro slave owners were mulattos and 90% of their slaves were dark-skinned blacks."

The mulattos in this case were often offspring of a white slave owner, and they shared power in the racist system because, quoting it again:

> Free blacks and mulattos, the privileged offspring of white masters and slaves, had an interest in preserving slavery, while poor, free blacks and most rural slaves, who knew slavery’s cruelty, were determined to gain control over their own destinies. The free black elite regarded slave ownership as a privilege and status symbol and valued their ties to the white community. Many lived in white neighborhoods, attended white-dominated churches and shunned the slave community.

This is very much in line with the CRT views of how power structures were set up to maintain white supremacy.

Oh, and of those 'many' black slave owners, "Often, free blacks purchased enslaved kinfolk to buy their freedom." Do you count them as supporting slavery?

> the most successful abolitionists

How many black slaves do you think were abolitionists, but without the power to influence anyone? Millions? Why do you think they weren't as successful those white abolitionists?

If you don't like the sociological terms "majority" and "minority", and view them as "collectivist", then how would you describe the laws that prohibited Blacks from immigrating to Oregon, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Iowa, or the ones which prevented Blacks from living in Sundown towns? Why did those white politicians decide to pass those laws? Can we assign blame to them without being called racist? Or do you want to absolve them of blame?
That's insane. I'd like to visit Iceland, but I think it's better to just go visit for a couple of weeks and then bail. Remote working in a cold and expensive country seems counter intuitive.

Give me word class beaches, great weather and cheap cost of living....South East Asia here I come!
Weather Spark used to be my favorite weather website. It had an interactive plot displaying a bunch weather data, historical, forecasted, historical min/max, and historical standard deviations. This was all in a side-by-side pane with a map view that showed radar data and temperature measurements at individual stations, and you could click different stations to see all of their historical data. It was the best interface to view forecasts and get a sense for how the recent weather stacks up against past years, IMO.

I have not seen any other weather site that comes close to it. The WeatherSpark team made a post to explain why they had to drop the old interface, but I forget the reasons now. The new interface is nothing like the old one -- static plots with buttons to switch to past dates / years, similar to Wunderground.
I always found illusionism completely nonsensical, for the reasons that Galen Strawson put forth in "Realistic Monism" [1] (emphasis mine):

> Some of them — Dennett is a prime example — are so in thrall to the fundamental intuition of dualism, the intuition that the experiential and the physical are utterly and irreconcilably different, that they are prepared to deny the existence of experience, more or less (c)overtly, because they are committed to physicalism, i.e. physicSalism.

> "‘They are prepared to deny the existence of experience.’ At this we should stop and wonder. I think we should feel very sober, and a little afraid, at the power of human credulity, the capacity of human minds to be gripped by theory, by faith. For this particular denial is the strangest thing that has ever happened in the whole history of human thought, not just the whole history of philosophy. It falls, unfortunately, to philosophy, not religion, to reveal the deepest woo-woo of the human mind. I find this grievous, but, next to this denial, every known religious belief is only a little less sensible than the belief that grass is green.

I worked for a medical company that did RF tumor ablation. In Japan we sold a machine that cooked small tumors as an out-patient procedure, because their easy MRIs would spot them early. In the US, we sell more complicated machines that work on bigger tumors because we find them later here - when they get too big, you have to be very careful not to damage surrounding tissue.
> Like in C++, a const is absolutely allocated since you can get a pointer to one.

If I understand you correctly, you claim you can get a pointer to a Go const. This is not the case. For example, the following code will not compile:

const a int = 1

var b *int = &a

./prog.go:5:15: cannot take the address of a

There is an admittedly surprising amount of tech work here (CO). I moved here from Chicago nearly a decade ago for a startup job (not telecommunications, ad tech or government related), and have found that the marketplace for tech jobs has grown heavily since then.

Also, given the new(ish) move to remote work that many firms nationally have begun to embrace there is also a strong showing here of people that work in Colorado, but for firms located elsewhere. This is my personal current situation, and I work with a guy who is moving here from the midwest in a couple months to work 100% remote. It's more and more common.
Nice :) What library did you use for the graphics?
a) Ask them whether they want to participate in the scheme to ensure the actual emitters pay their fair share.

b) If they decline, allocate the emissions from these sources to the products the country exports and impose import duties that correspond to (or exceed) what the certificates would cost.

Out of curiosity, does attribution also work if the ad is not clicked?

For example, I bought a product the other day after seeing a Facebook ad, but I didn't click on the ad itself and rather went searching for it on DuckDuckGo, then after reading a bit about it online, bought the product.

I'm curious as to whether that got attributed to the ad impression or not.
I hear ya! I find it interesting that TODAY people grab a "Raspberry Pi" equivalent machine when something much much simpler will do.
I guess they just want well off people who leave their $$$ in the local economy for half a year. Fair enough, but not a very impressive deal.

For comparison: Georgia (the country) offers a 360 day visa free entry for almost every country out there, no paperwork required. While the standard of living in Georgia is certainly lower, the nature there is much more diverse and just many more things to do.
Many companies (not just Amazon) believe that employees at the low end of the curve are not simply contributing less, they see them as being actively negative. This is not just about their individual output, quality, etc, it's the impact on the overall org, culture and expectations.

It is a visa. Iceland offers visa free travel for many countries for the purposes of tourism. I haven’t looked at Iceland’s program but normally these programs are for 30-90 days. Therefore 180 days would be considered a long term tourist visa.

> Programming is not regurgitating recipes without understanding.

Call me cynical, but the problem with this argument is that professional software development is about making something that fulfills a set of requirements, and ideally is modular+generalized enough in its design that it can be reused in the future to reduce future development time+costs.

With this in mind, I can see why the Rails documentation wouldn't really care if you learn how Rails works- all they care about is that you know how to use it.

This isn't to say that the desire for greater understanding is bad, just that it's not an effective way to keep an aging, tried-and-true web framework relevant.
Right because you have data to show that piracy takes away more than 30% of small devs' desktop games' revenue? Given that most pirates wouldn't actually buy it if they had to pay?

Smaller developers publish PC games just fine, you know, choosing whichever store they like most, or choosing to entirely self publish. This is how it should be everywhere.

Perhaps because they already have a cloud business they can bill internally to? Subscription services seem to bank on most users not exceeding $x worth of usage per month and just forgetting they are even subscribed. If Google invests in a streaming services to subsidize expansion of their cloud business, and collect more data along the way, it's probably a net profit in the long term.
The point here is that Apple itself should be able to choose when and how and to whom it open the Apple Store. It should not be compelled to do so by anyone but its own directors and shareholders. If someone wants to sell phones that don't have this limitation, they are free to seek investment and build them.
Unfortunately, some people can't differentiate between six-figure salaries and billionaires.

To be honest, I haven't thought about that much, and don't have the mental capacity right now to really think about the answer. It's a good point.

On the spot though I'd say that that would make Nintendo the ones that should open up their system in my mind though, provided they are making a sizeable (10% including stuff like R&D over the span of a few years) profit.
I'm still playing one, actually: https://www.mousehuntgame.com. They transitioned to just being a web game that runs in a FB frame for users that still wanted to play it there, but I haven't had an FB account for years now, and I can still play right at the URL.

"Interesting but kind of tedious" is absolutely a great descriptor, though. It's basically an incremental game that grows at the slowest possible rate you can imagine.

You're just plain wrong mate. Taxpayers don't need to be protected from profitable ventures. I dunno what the hell definition for profit you're making up, but it's literally defined on the basis of cost in accounting and finance.

I find it sad that Google's response to privacy is FLoC / Topics API instead of just embracing privacy like Apple. I know Google is an ad company. Still, they mostly control both Android and Chrome which means if they followed Apple's example on privacy they wouldn't be losing much of competitive advantage because if both Android and Chrome were privacy oriented that means there'd be no OS where some competitor could track. In other words, it still seems like they'd be #1 if they switched to content based ads and context (search) but zero tracking.
My original point was not that property cannot be morally defended through violence, my original point was that you cannot defend property morally through violence, which is the law (not a single state allows the use of lethal force to protect property, only life), and it makes perfect sense when you value human life over property (as the vast majority of human society does).

And considering the stakes, it does not make sense to enforce post-hoc a punishment for incorrectly applying this imaginary "defense of property" law you've invented. People's lives are not something you can un-end.
I know that Apple's Terms say that you can't explain to your users, that they have to pay some 30% "Apple Tax" for in-app purchases. But could you just say something like "30% mobile phone app fee", to go around it, while making it clear to the user why they're paying this amount? I feel like it would be illegal for Apple (or Google Play) to prohibit developers from breaking down costs like that? Like I don't get it.

Hello @joshxyz, here is the CEO of Meilisearch.

I wanted to thank you for your feedback. I also wanted to confirm that several people have given us feedback on indexing speed problems.

That is why we have decided to focus on this issue during the first quarter of 2022. We have already made a lot of progress on indexing speed, and we can't wait to show you these new capabilities with the arrival of v0.26.0.

If you want another comparison table we have also made our own. https://docs.meilisearch.com/learn/what_is_meilisearch/compa...
Well, I think in some sense it's all just "controlled" hallucination, but, to me, it doesn't say much.

Sometimes I think people have some intuitive sense of how things ought to work but but they can't reconcile it with physics description of the world. For example, how is it possible that a physical system such as a brain can have experiences, such as colors, love, objects, music, etc.

I think the simplest answer to that conundrum is that, yes, physical systems can not have these sorts of experiences, they do not follow from the theories or descriptions. But what you can do instead is simulate a world with such magical qualities. This is what I think some parts of the brain do, is to simulate the world that we personally find ourselves in.

Then the real question is how does the brain do that? How does it work? What are its learning rules? What does it end up learning?

My guess is that it ends up describing this universe (including ourselves) that we find ourselves in.

Why? You could imagine that the signals coming into the brain from the rest of the body are just a bit array that is changing all the time. What does it mean? That's for the brain to find out, so it's always in the process of making and updating predictive models of its input. Why? So that the biological robot that you are in control of navigate successfully in the physical world and meet the needs of the organism, e.g. eat food, drink water, keep itself in the right temperature, keep itself from being harmed, and such.

People are weird. A person shooting random npcs in GTA likely isn't a murderer in real life, and someone that does awful things to a bot probably isn't a documented sex offender.

The headline gives the impression that the researchers found a new discrepancy where protons are found to be smaller than theory would predict. In actuality, the researchers are proposing a resolution to a preexisting discrepancy.

Additionally, I’m not sure why you’re saying we should wait to see whether the results hold up, if you don’t think writing “probably” in the headline is clickbait.
Cyprus is probably the best overall deal out there right now, but it isn't the cheapest option.
Do you litter? If not, why? Littering makes your life easier and has an immediate upside at the individual level. You can easily claim that your one cigarette butt makes statistically no difference.

I assume you don't because you realize if everyone makes that same choice it has a downside for everyone, because nobody wants to live in a trash heap. If the reason is simply because it's illegal, I'm not sure that's a very principled stance.

Climate decisions are harder because they're more abstract in effect and the uncertainty is greater. But they should be rooted in similar principle if we consider ourselves moral agents in society.

If you agree that collective conservation will have an impact (maybe that's where we disagree), then the only way it will have an impact is if people make the induvial choice unless policy forces that decision. I personally think that's a bit of an immoral choice if one recognizes it's the right thing to do but chooses not to, just like the litterer who knows better.

I'm not sure what your point is? Is it that it's best to wait until everyone collectively decides to make the choice to conserve? Because, ironically, that strikes me as the scenario where your choice has marginal impact at the individual level as well. That perspective is very much stuck in an individualistic mode of thinking that doesn't recognize collective efforts take many individual choices.

Circling back to the littering analogy, cultural values spring from many instances of individual choices. Having a culture of conservativism (or at least mitigated consumerism) is every bit as possible as having a culture of non-littering. But it does take the correct choices at the individual level to create the social pressure that brings along people who are less willing.

That last point is important. I'm reminded of a study where they tested three different modes of convincing people of energy conservation: 1) they focused on how much money it saved, 2) they focused on the positive impact of the environment, and 3) they focused on the fact that the majority of their neighbors were already enrolled in the program. The only method that made a significant impact on energy usage was #3. We're social creatures and social pressure is important to nudge collective action.

I agree, we need technology. But it shouldn't be an easy excuse for us to sit on our laurels with other choices, because, you know nuclear fusion has been 10 years away for the last 50 years.
