The woke mafia will destroy the US and Silicon Valley giving room for other tech centers like China, India, Nigeria, Kenya, and Russia. They will try to cancel everyone including their own. The US has a mid-term coming up and part of this is political warfare.

Agreed, thank you.
Updated in January but not really up to date. It doesn't mention union types, the nullsafe operator, matching expressions and a lot of other features you can find here: https://stitcher.io/blog/new-in-php-8

Maybe not everything is "the right way" but at least the nullsafe operator is, I think.
I agree. Spotify is pushing features that benefit their bottom line but that most people don't want.

Even if you wanted to try Spotify as your main podcast client, some podcasts were never on Spotify because Spotify wouldn't pony up. Others went Spotify exclusive.

I cancelled Spotify and signed up for Apple Music. It's much improved from 2015, especially in terms of discovery and curated playlists. And it supports ALAC, which is a nice bonus (Spotify still has no FLAC option).
I actually didn't know there ever used to be a New Folder button, but that prompted me to customise the toolbar in Finder and I see it as an option (and have now added it).
Shameless, but I'm a programmer and this is my blog: https://jlelse.blog/
The targets of the slur are the ones who get to decide to co-opt it or not and if they want outsiders to use it not.

The n-word has been co-opted, in a fashion, by the black community. Members of the black community, for the largest part, would still would be offended if I used that word.

Queer has been co-opted by the LGBQT+ community, members of that community have asked me to use queer to describe them. Still feels weird to me to even to type it here. The f-word is out of bounds.

Freedom of speech lets you use any of those words but, like all speech, others may judge you harshly because of those words and how you use them.

Really, this isn't hard to figure out.
So true, it seems that woke values wrapped around the political spectrum and are aligning with the complete opposite end.
> Direct your energy at something important

Like paying musicians reasonable amounts of money per stream? People have been complaining about this since the very beginning of Spotify. But as usual woke nonsense takes up all the air in the room because it's fiscally irrelevant.

I've been using Zoho for several years and I've been very happy. Only had 1 major outage (which was a bummer, to be honest) and I think they've improved their redundancy and reliability since.
You can pay some alternative spotify where your favorite groups are represented. That's how it works.
Does it matter what it was if it helped them pick good real estate investments?
That is exactly what I want. You made the claim that the 90% is not part of the convoy. I want to know where you are getting that information from.
Sorry I genuinely do not understand what this means. Could it be explained in some other wording?
Indeed. You can operationally define anything you want within your model. If done carefully, a good operational definition may simplify your model quite a bit. (A bad operational definition, on the other hand, will almost certainly make your model overly complex and can be quite detrimental).

When you use your model to infer about a real world phenomena you have to be careful how you treat your operational definition. If you use it to make prediction, you cannot make a claim that what your operand caused it, not until you go into the real world and find it. If your model is successful you may use your operand to describe your prediction, but you have to justify why your operand is necessary, a better model may exist which doesn’t use an operand at all.

A successful model is neither a sufficient nor necessary condition for proving an operand exists.
It’s interesting to see less obese and younger people more affected. Maybe it’s either because of vaccine status that another commenter asked for, or more deaths in those cohorts.
Your argument doesn't make any sense.

You fund something when it has too little money.

You defund something when it has too much money.

If you wanted to abolish or eliminate something you would use those words, not defund.
Yeah, Google seems to think that if I buy a washing machine, I am on some kind of washing machine buying spree.
Nit: in py3 map() and filter() are lazy (they return iterators instead of lists). You can better mimic their semantics using generator expressions "()" instead of list comprehensions "[]".

This is fine, but signal still doesn't tell you when the person you're sending to has uninstalled signal. Instead, your messages go into ether and you think the person is ignoring you. It blows my mind they haven't prioritized this. https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/11164
Excellent question! The TL;DR is that substitutability and the ability to manage risk (e.g. execute hedges or constrain factor exposure atomically) can be great for inducing liquidity in the absence of large volume and high turnover.

On substitutability: if you want to sell $2m of some sector basket you wouldn't put in a limit order for $2m in every security (overfill risk). An expressive order can enforce a $2m global constraint across the basket but show full size in each security. When lots of people are doing this, it solves the "ships passing the night" problem where people are looking for offsetting exposure at a high level but can't express anything but single stock orders.

On risk management: some constraints certainly are restrictive, e.g. conjunctive constraints like 'a' AND 'b' AND 'c'. It would be very unlikely that we find the exact opposite of that constraint, so the auction is multilateral: we can stitch together the contra with individual single orders for 'a', 'b', 'c'. Key to the liquidity aspect of this is our objective function: it rewards more aggressive pricing and larger quantities. So the principle here is that by gaining atomicity (and reducing uncertainty) people can be more aggressive on price and qty. This is especially important for liquidity provision: how much larger size could market makers quote if they could automatically hedge new positions they enter into?

All that said, bootstrapping liquidity is the hardest part of any venue launch. We're obsessively focused on making sure we have the right blend of participants trading on different horizons for a healthy pool.
This is a great feature, well done for adding it! However, I'm a bit puzzled as to why seemingly easy bug fixes aren't addressed. There's a longstanding issue with Signal not recognizing that the phone is in a landscape orientation when taking photos, so they're rotated by 90 degrees. I opened an issue[1] and it got closed with a related-but-not-exact workaround.

This impacts everyone who takes photos on Android with Signal, it's not a niche problem. It seems like an easy fix, and I'm perplexed that it doesn't get prioritized. Ah well, can't complain too much about a free product.

removing a podcaster from Spotify is very low on any rational list. Direct your energy at something important

If someone is really offended or disagree with what he's broadcasting, then why do you think that removing him would be low on any rational list? His podcast reaches 11 million listeners, so getting him off the air seems like it would be pretty impactful.
> the necessary measurements and observations also presume in one way or another that Earth is rotating.

Yes, the lack of star parallaxes were the main argument offered by Tycho Brahe against a moving earth theory. When star parallaxes were observed the motion of earth was accepted. The way I understand it, to measure star parallaxes the earth must move. This is not an assumption, there is no circular reasoning. And we observe different parallaxes for different stars, meaning that stars are not all on the same distance from earth. I don't know if this is a trend like flat earthers to say that all stars are the same distance from the center of the universe?

> In this case the parallax effects literally rests on the rotation of Earth and its orbit around the sun.

So, this way you prove that the earth moves and stars have different parallaxes and are not all attached to a crystal sphere. I don't see a problem here.
It’s always Eternal September:

“ In March 2003, the American country band the Dixie Chicks, now known as the Chicks, publicly criticized President George W. Bush and the imminent Allied invasion of Iraq…

After the statement was reported by the British newspaper The Guardian, it led to backlash from American country listeners, who were mostly right-wing and supported the war. The Dixie Chicks were blacklisted by thousands of country radio stations, received death threats, and were criticized by other country musicians. The backlash damaged sales of the Dixie Chicks' music and concert tickets and lost them corporate sponsorship.”

Indeed, the beauty of using a graph is you can see the direct citations, and then secondary and teritiery ones and then pull apart the clusters to see if there is any opportunity to pull on mathematical threads.

A query like, given paper X, show papers that cite it, papers that cite those, and then ones that cite both. Cycles in the graph might show citation rings as well (as I think has happened in the past), but this would be a challenge for young people to apply their high school calculus skills to verifying claims in social science research.

A breadth first search across papers using citations selects which paths you want to do your depth first validation on. We do the same thing in vulnerability research with software dependencies, and picking a bad-math vuln in a discipline and tracing its impact though, or picking clusters of tightly dependent research and finding vulns in them seems like an opportunity for an enterprising outsider who never wants a job from any of these people.
185k cap is for high cost of living area, 160k for the rest. You may be either in California or NYC.
Spotify is feeling and responding to public and internal pressure about a figure who is polarizing. I don’t think they’re directly involved in any strategy beyond damage control.

But Rogan appears to be under a coordinated attack from media institutions and governments: horse dewormer, misinformation, racism — all of which is a little absurd.
You have moved the goalposts from "not hospitalized" to "asymptomatic or very minor symptoms". About half the people I know who got covid (and knew about it) had, or are currently having, a very unpleasant time.
Am glad I read this post, it is somewhat relevant to me but also thoughtful enough. I chuckled seeing the vomit emoji after the author mentioned ERB templating.

"I will always optimize career decisions based on a position's potential to improve my ability as a developer. I will optimize for this over title, benefits, and pay." is a refreshing perspective to hear although I may not fully agree with it.

It definitely isn’t! The problem is when individuals with dubious motivations and skills are given access to a platform that influences tens or hundreds of millions.

The blessing and curse of having the worlds information at our fingertips is that we can usually find the data, groups and echo chambers to mirror any narrative.

If you were hesitant about certain medical procedures, you now have access to groups and data that can and will reaffirm that you should not undergo that procedure because of X, Y & Z.

Wether X, Y & Z are directly relevant, or even statistically probable - it doesn’t matter anymore. Group think, peer pressure, societal pressures and desires to be “free” and “independent” etc start to reign.

The backlash against Spotify is warranted - it’s just a large corporation that people can condem and refuse to do business with. Same with governments.

Perhaps not exactly the same analogy, but muslims won’t generally use the services offered by a Church, or some people might go see their Shaman over a GP, or vegans will avoid the meat-heavy BBQ place. We have our beliefs, some are misguided, some are dangerous. Covid is pretty dangerous, and deadly to certain demographics.

Our engineering interview process
> You seem to see capitalist democracy being an oxymoron as a value judgment. I see it as saying that these constituencies have historically voted for more socialist style policies.

Do you think Thiel would be in favor of more socialist-style policies? Even some? Do you think he views the diminishment of capitalist democracy as a negative trend? Well, there you have it.

> I can acknowledge something that isn't beneficial for my cause without immediately desiring to end that thing

Thiel doesn't strike me as someone who's politically "live and let live", so to speak. This is a situation where the man's reputation precedes him. Perhaps he doesn't want to overturn something beneficial to others, but he might be in favor of offsetting that benefit in order to further his cause.

And what you are willing to acknowledge is immaterial, as you are not Peter Thiel.
> Experts in any field disagree. Why are opinions of some experts "misinformation" and "disinformation"

Find out if/why the experts are justified to hold their respective opinion, evaluate the facts and come to a conclusion. Just because someone says something does not make it true. Regardless if that person is an expert or not.
This shows a single check mark, no? Ie it tells you that the user hasn't received the message.
No, this is how it’s supposed to work. People say things that are unpopular, then other people complain and withdraw their support. Each of those people are exercising free speech.

This is what the “marketplace of ideas” looks like. The evolving tension between different factions and ideas is a feature, not a bug.

Taken to its logical extreme (which I realize is unfair to your point), what you are suggesting is "people should be able to post anything about anyone at any time and spotify should host it", which I think is ridiculous on its face? Should Spotify be hosting a Daily Stormer podcast? How about The Daily Shoah? [1]

I don't think they should. Let's be honest; this is corporate America. It's not about "principles", it's about money. If Spotify thinks that long-term hosting Joe Rogan is going to cost them more money, they're going to get rid of it.

[1] Do not look either of these things up. They are both outright white supremacist propaganda. You have been warned.
What impact? He’ll literally peace out with his $100M back to YouTube and free aggregators like Apple with much larger reach. He’s also the most popular podcast! So he wont have any problems finding a new network if need be. These people are delusional if they think they can change anything

I can't find the exact verbiage or screenshots, but my recollection is that Gmail used to be billed as effectively infinite storage, with the limit going up over time. However, that limit has been frozen at 15GB for some time.

I am now exactly the kind of customer you describe, paying for a 200GB Google One plan in large part so I don't have to fiddle with old email to stay under the limit. The price is reasonable, and hopefully as a paying customer I'm less likely to find my products on killedbygoogle.com.
Why do you say rural land is under valued? What is society missing that should be included in the price?

Hey. Author here. We thought we'd open source our interview process in the hope that it helps others.

We've made a few deliberate tradeoffs here in terms of sharing questions, and the process up front with candidates. It's worked well so far, but we'll see how it goes.
I'll wear the fact that neither TY nor Spotify ever suggest JRE to me like a badge of honor.
>> how could that be if the stars are moving but not the earth?

Because maybe the earth is fixed, the heavens all move, and the pendulum is reacting to the heavens. Maybe a tidal force from the stellar spheres is imparting a slight motion on the pendulum. Maybe only objects like gyroscopes are sensitive enough to feel this force.
Interesting. Sounds like it axes Medicare, SS, and a large number of tax deductions (which is how the US implements a lot of policy). I'd love a simplified tax code, but unsure of the SS and Medicare removal. I wonder how that would look for people who are currently collecting, paying in at various stages, etc. That would be a massive windfall for most if the money paid-in was returned.

I'm not sure which veteran benefits they want to get rid of specifically, but this could be a bad idea. One of the main ways to increase economic class if one is poor is to serve in the military and have the pay for college after they get out (yes, the payment could cover part of it, assuming they aren't using it for living expenses which would be mostly covered during their enlistment). The VA is under funded and doesn't have a great record, but that's so highly beneficial to many.
Now that's an actual counterargument to OP's idea.

But I don't know how much those criticisms help.
Signal is eating up 11GB of my iOS space. There is no way to clear it without completely uninstalling and reinstalling. And then the problem just resets and grows again.

It’s a ridiculously consequential bug and they don’t seem motivated to even comment.

Pretty sad.
Thats nit what i saw at all. I saw people discussing modern economic features & peoplecs way of life. I saw only a little politics.

And i dont mind politics at all. When it degrades it's ugly. But most users seem to be willing to keep some open neutrality & interest in engaging one another, even when they disagree. I like tvis open society we have here & would not seek to change it. Itcs sad to hear someone insisting tbeir baised shape how everyone else acts & what we discuss.
This was almost a year ago when vaccines were still new and the death/hospitalization rates of healthy 21 years olds from COVID is basically zero.

I’m 27 and have my jabs, and suggest others get theirs too, but I totally understand this perspective. In fact you couldn’t even get your vaccines in the UK last April at 21.
They both contribute to partial immunity of the virus in question and thus it would seem very useful to compare side effects of the two.
If that's the case, why do they continue to reject candidates based on their automated algorithm test as the first step in the interview?

If they had too many candidates and not enough positions, it makes sense, but in the opposite scenario you just lose our on candidates that hate those tests.
What I would like to see next is an investigation into why this process was considered at all and how the vendor was selected. I find this entire situation deeply suspicious, since MOST online services (including financial services) do not need this kind of invasive verification process and do not require interfacing with a random third-party. My cynical guess is that id.me has some connection (like via political donations) to those who had the power to effect this change.

It also looks like many states use id.me for various purposes (example https://www.reuters.com/business/states-using-idme-rival-ide...). I would also want those decisions revisited and investigated.
There's an interesting kind of inside-out thinking re: jobs in these kinds of matters - I thought it was on display in a pretty sharp way during the Kavanaugh hearings - Brett Kavanaugh was being vetted as a supreme court justice, one of 9 people in a lifetime appointment as some of the most influential individuals in the US government and consequently the world. By all measures, Kavanaugh did some dumb shit as a young adult - he displayed a sharp lack of judgement. Does that make him a bad person? Maybe, maybe not. It does, however, suggest that maybe he's not one of the 9 most qualified individuals in a country of 350M to serve a lifetime appointment exercising his judgement in arguably the most consequential institution in the country.

Is Joe Rogan a bad guy? Who knows. Sounds like he was an idiot a decade or so ago, but maybe he's better now. Is he entitled in any vast cosmic sense to a platform with millions of listeners and an actual effect on politics and the real world? No, not really. He's got one, sure, but it's not like we as a society are in any way obligated to either agree that that should continue or not take steps to see it stopped if we feel it's doing harm. Should Joe Rogan be shot or thrown in jail? Absolutely not. Does he have an inalienable right to a mass influence on society? Also absolutely not.

This sort of notion that we as society don't have some vested interest in the construction of the world we live in that doesn't trump some random person's ability to earn an obscene amount of money is just strange. Joe Rogan isn't going to be poor if he loses his show and he's not going without a meal if Spotify decides he can't say the N-word in a podcast.
Because vaccination reduces the severity of the disease in a known fashion, the vaccination status is going to be proportionate to that.
No, the second button is clear from the tip of the top piece, so that specific configuration has a range of motion of well over 270 degrees. It isn't considered kosher by Lego because obviously the second button does eventually hit the side of the top piece and if you force it, you can break your build or damage a piece.

You can, of course, modify it to use a tall brick and some 1x1 flats to achieve a swiss-army knife setup[0] with a 360 degrees range of motion. I'd use this variation for things like retractable wings.
