Anonimizing data to convince the public their information Is safe
instead of gathering accurate data is exactly the kind of inefficiency that must be expelled from government.

I worked census out of a duty of democracy. Overwhelmingly the people I interviewed thought it was completely useless, that the "government already knew", or that I was secretly the IRS. There are multiple instances of door slamming, hostile threats, and people who thought that I was somehow the representative of the president of the United States. A guy ran me down in the road to tell me I "ain't no fbi agent" after I left a census flyer on their door. Census bureau were almost trying to get us killed at this point since we were not allowed to have self defense with us. They wanted us to go to known meth labs, quote: "anecdotal comments are not justification.".

Multiple others on our team had a gun waved at them when they went to do reinterviews (checking others work) because the original worker got that information from a neighbor to avoid the threat. But the census system doesn't allow you to do that without attempting the actual location a number of times (annoying them).

There is one solution to all of this, and that is to return to the constitutional requirements. The single number of how many people live there. Nothing about money or jobs or anything else. But I'm afraid the census has already destroyed that opportunity, the 2010 "long forms" are now forever associated with the census.

For example. Or more likely just not just searching for suicide indicators

>but, rather, on aggregating preconscious brain signals to determine what someone believes to be true. The screening process envisioned could involve presenting various statement stimuli of behavioral health relevance, such as biographical information, actions, or intentions (e.g., I want to end my life/enjoy my life) to measure preconscious responses. NEAT would triangulate responses to aggregate evidence and determine if the person reading the stimuli statements believes they are true, false, or indeterminate.

Wanna bet that it will very quickly be used for detecting other things the governments deems "unwell". Resulting in another kind of "help". The Simpsons clip sprang to mind

It is yet another targeting algorithm that has suicide prevent as one very easily replaceable scenario.
Crypto != digital. A digital currency can be a database at The Fed.

I feel like too many people confuse the two, but it's fundamentally different, in every meaningful way.
Yes, but it's very small compared to the UA border.
I personally just constantly interview. I find the time for that by no longer seriously reviewing any code.

Code review is mostly to think long term about code (as tests catch the immediate stuff). I have no long term future at the company, so oh well.
Oh wow, that's a huge development. For those who don't know Mimblewimble (assuming it works!) allows running a full node on something as small as a microcontroller and utterly eliminates transaction traceability.
Yes, I only did the experiment for a few days. (it was 20-odd years ago so I don't remember the exact details, but I think I did it maybe 3 times in each direction, less than a week total.) Is there variance? Sure. That's kind of the point - any amount of time I actually saved was more than swallowed up by the variances. In the end, the tiny amount of time I could save was not worth the heightened stress level.

But in the end, the experiment was for me and me alone. If you'd like to run your own more rigorous experiment and show how much time you can save by weaving through traffic, go right ahead; I've found what works better for me.
Hey I'm really glad to hear that! I'll look in to why the tasks aren't updating, but I'm having trouble recreating the missing constants in test review. I'd really appreciate it if you can send me a screenshot of what you're seeing! Again, thanks so much for checking it out.
I've had baguettes in France, and I've had baguettes elsewhere and there is really no comparison. Baguettes in France are incredibly soft with thin crunchy shell, whereas supermarket baguettes in the US (and elsewhere) taste like a three-day-old French baguette even the day they're made. You need a very sharp knife to cut them up, they're like rocks. It is very disappointing.

In general, it is very hard to find good bakery goods in the US outside of local artisan shops. A lot of people have just come to expect that to be the case (like "of course supermarkets have low quality baked goods!") but that just isn't the case in much of continental Europe, boring supermarkets have amazing bakery stuff.

The closest thing I've found to a "basically acceptable" mass-produced (i.e. available almost everywhere) bread in the US is Sara Lee Artesano (white) or Sara Lee Classic Wheat Bread. They aren't sweet or artificial tasting. Taste like a normal €1.20 bread. Unfortunately you are paying a premium compared to standard bread in Europe while tasting comparable.

PS - Still never found someone selling tijgerbrood/Dutch Crunch/Tiger bread in the US which is super strange, that stuff is delicious.
I know this isn't the point of your post, but what does your party affiliation mean in this context? I have known people from both parties who believed their party affiliation was central to their anti-authoritarian stance, and people from both parties who thought that their preferred form of good government would control people.

Do you think your party loyalty made you a more likely target, or should have made you a less likely target?

That said, I use Tor for anything medical related. The NSA might wonder why I am licking my paws so much, or why I keep worrying about foxtails in my ears, but they haven't knocked on my door yet.
No, you experienced the average DBA which is probably someone that started as a Junior SysAdmin, futzed around with databases, liked that they could silo into that and do nothing else.

The problem is that that is basically where all advancement stopped for them. They learned SQL well enough, they might even know how to do transaction rollbacks, but god help you if you have a real systemic problem that takes detailed knowledge of the whole system to unwind and fix without major data loss.

I'm in the process of trying to convince management to hire a real Postgres expert(both inside and outside the database), because we are currently on a bad, checkbook driven path that is moving tons of our managed RDS Postgres databases to self-managed (and poorly architected) clusters on another cloud. I have neither the time nor the inclination to become a deep Postgres expert.
>Or the simpler explanation is that the chronological timeline isn't actually the preferred setting, outside of a small but vocal minority.

you can justify a lot of things with "the silent majority doesn't mind it". the silent majority is tech-illiterate, and there are a lot of things they are indifferent to. if it wasn't for the loud minority, we'd be advancing into the dystopian future at much faster pace.

>I think the more obvious explanation is that very few people were actually using it according to their analytics, so the switch no longer occupies prime UI/UX real estate.

the overwhelming majority will always use whichever option is the default

>If it was some sort of conspiracy, they would have just killed the feature.

that will eventually happen, and when it does, I'm sure I'll read about how that is a good thing
You think the motherboard makers wouldn’t have licensed it?
I'm that person who hates responsibility and wants everything not serious. I think I'd prefer someone similar. That said, though I shirk responsibility, I think it's because I know how heavy it could be, so when I do have (for example) someone to take care of, I take it seriously.

What I learned from my current relationship is that I'm less chill than I thought I was, and that certain behavior patterns only show up later on, or are dependent on how much time is spent together in a day.
It's not anti-foreigner hate in that case, it's the desperate status posturing of an expat trying to convince themselves there's a difference between them and a tourist.

We call that terroir. Bread isn't just bread - it's made from flour milled a certain way, made from a certain kind of wheat, that grew in a certain kind of soil, combined with a certain kind of yeast, a certain kind of salt, a certain kind of water. Ham isn't just ham - it's a certain kind of pig, raised in a certain way, that had a certain kind of diet. Cheese isn't... well you get it.

You're not tasting just 3 ingredients.

While risk mitigation isn't your priority, you do it, all the time. The reward for riding your bike far outweighs what little risk exists. So you ride your bike. Not doing something had a risk as well. Not riding your bike may mean walking on the street for longer or not getting enough exercise.

"mass-produced" isn't a valid criticism.
This is poetic and all, but I fail to see why it’s so great. I’m am curious.
Lakes are risky even if you know how to swim. There are amoeba that can swim up your nose and into your brain, giving you a very painful death. This risk can be trivially mitigated by wearing a noseplug or by refraining from swimming in lakes at all. I don't do either of these things, because I don't give a shit about the risk of some amoeba. Some people do, but most people don't.

Are there some risks I choose to mitigate? Of course. But there are maaany more risks that I choose to ignore. Everybody is entitled to their own opinions on which risks they want to tolerate and which are intolerable. Which leads to my next point..

>No one's asking for everyone to hide in their houses forever, we want [...]

Everybody has their own set of 'common sense' desires, but virtually none of those desires is universal. Using the 'royal we' to implicitly upgrade your personal desires to the desires of society in general is a tedious rhetorical trick. As for general population trends, covid mitigations were quite popular for the past two years, but with every day that passes more and more people stop caring. Go outside and see it for yourself, mask usage is dropping off a cliff even in the progressive west coast city I call home. There will come a day, soon, when wearing a mask will make you the odd one out.

Your compensation isn't driven by the things it can buy. It is driven by the balance of supply and demand in the labor pool, which is mostly insensitive to inflation in the short term.

In the long term, sometimes inflation is caused by employers being able to charge more for their products. If they can raise prices faster than their costs, then they'll be able to afford more folks to work, increasing demand in the labor pool, hence increasing labor prices (i.e. compensation).

Still, it can take several quarters for information about pricing to flow through the supply chain and impact wages.

Butter. The secret ingredient is butter.

A few years ago, I spent about six months living in Paris and ate dozens, if not hundreds, of these sandwiches. My conclusions were:

- the bread is very crisp, light and fresh. It’s never heavy, doesn’t have other add-ons like oats or rye, and is never toasted or cooked

- a generous amount of butter is added. This is what adds that special flavor and makes the sandwiches taste amazing
I wonder what it was like for the NSA workers who had to search for steganographic messages in Osama bin Laden's Tom and Jerry episodes.
It's not that they _can_ price everything higher, they _must_ price everything higher. Everyone getting paid more includes the stockers, managers, bakers, truckers, farmers, everyone involved in getting (eg.) groceries to you.

I dont know how anyone can think this. Japanese sandwiches are all rather bland, and they're very super cheap on ingredients - usually balancing a lot of the cheap ingredient and always gross shokupan. Its so hard to get a good bread here.

When I lived in the UK I remember a variety of different fillings and importantly bread selections in every store, and the sandwich shops were another level.

The communists kept HK around to facilitate some trade with the west as it closed off from the world (otherwise they could have easily “liberated” it in the late 60s). With the opening of China by the 80s, a UK ruled HK didn’t make sense to the PRC anymore.

HK never had a legitimate claim to independence being a colony. Taiwan is a completely different case since it is ruled by locals (Chinese) rather than some colonial overlords.
Worst part about discontinuing the Focus is that the Focus Electric went with it. Sure, it was a regulation-requirement car, but it drives well and does what city folks need; 100KM range is enough for most people's day. Works well as a second car.

We desperately need sub-20k electric cars and they just don't exist.
Actually stocks trade flat or lower in inflation, and risk assets like crypto drop. Real estate is a good hedge
This isn't my personal theory here, it's the standard explanation.

It basically only happened once. One reason is that preventing deflation is the Fed's job and they've been doing it. Another is that for a wage-price spiral you need both things to increase; in the 70s we had wage spirals because we had a lot more union workers with automatic cost of living increase contracts. Losing those means inflation doesn't happen as fast, and workers don't exactly expect wage decreases the same way, so it's assymetric. (Japan does have wage decreases, and has been stuck in deflation for decades.)

I’ll give you the old saw: who do you want to share a checkbook with? Not exactly literally - my husband and I have always
had very separate accounts due to the weird issues being a US citizen abroad presents, but we still share a common financial future. And a kid.

Money fights are the cause of a lot of divorces.

Speaking of kids, the responsibility factor is even more important. And the sexy fun factor is even less. (The jokes about parents not having sex anymore are not about a loss of attractiveness)

However, if you do consider committing to a partner with a serious career, discuss who is going to be the one, in the end, who will take the career hit of being the primary caretaker. My husband takes our kid to daycare most days, puts him to bed most nights, and takes him out to play on off days. He jumps in to change diapers when available. He is fantastic.

However, I’m the one who drops everything and runs to daycare if they call, and attempts to work while watching him if he can’t go. My colleagues are familiar with my kid; my husband’s are not. We decided long before our kid came along that as an IT professional, I was in a better position to recover from the hit. It’s still a harder hit than I thought it would be.
This! Japanese shokupan bread sandwiches are an insult to the name sandwich. And the ingredients are always the smallest amount they dare put in too. You'd be laughed at in the UK for serving somewhere the same thing.

Why? If he had murdered Edward Shumaker (which seemed to have been what he intended to do), instead of merely stabbing him seven times, causing paralysis, and making him live the rest of his life in a wheelchair while in constant pain before ending his own life via a drug overdose of pain medication, a sentence of murder would be something the judge would have to consider. David Bennett Sr. got off pretty easy for ruining someone's life.
It's not the rejections, but the lack of hiring.

If you artificially pump up the number of fake interviews, but the company is still receiving the same number of accepts from their offers, they will have no need to raise their salary offer.
Most VPN companies also just offer OpenVPN configs for download. Not doing that is imho a great indicator their client might be doing a bit more then it should.

CAFE isn't fuel-rationing.

It's a miles-per-gallon efficiency standard. And non-compliance is punished with fees -- fees that're apparently so small that some luxury-brands seem to prefer to just pay them than comply.

They're very trustworthy and have society's best interests at heart (they actually think they do, with this being a prime example because not saying that inflation is transitory could have provoked some kind of panicked reactions that could have caused more fundamental problems for society).

The, admittedly few, sources of economic information I regularly seek out were saying that "transitory" was a joke from the first time it was mentioned. The combination of money printing, pandemic cheques, national debt, 0% interest rates, low-to-zero percentage bond markets (and probably numerous other things I can't remember right now) meant that raising interest rates could cause more harm than good (although it's inevitable sooner rather than later), and the same goes for slowing down the money printer.

Using the word "transitory" was a one-use-only lie acting as a pressure relief valve, and it was at least semi-obvious to those paying attention.

The part of the bill that mentions E2EE (Section 5) is an amendment to the Communications Act of 1934, namely the famous Section 230 which contains: "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider."

So the EARN-IT act would seem to me to modify Section 230 to not apply in cases of child sexual exploitation law, importantly "any charge in a criminal prosecution brought against a provider of an interactive computer service under State law regarding the advertisement, promotion, presentation, distribution, or solicitation of child sexual abuse material". However despite this amendment, using E2EE would not "serve as an independent basis for liability of a provider", whatever that means.

This seems more notable to me than the whole "creating a committee to create best practices" sections but I could be misreading or misinterpreting the bill honestly, I'm no expert.
Didn't posit it as a criticism. Also, did you check the Twitter link I posted? You think if these sandwiches weren't mass produced by an international conglomerate they would get away with that kind of (imho) false advertising?
For instance, if my employees are earning 500k+ and driving Teslas, I don't think the price of oil, lettuce and tomato, and even general rental market would be materially impactful like, say, the increase in Los Altos home prices.
