> We don't want to help people not kill themselves?

It's not help if you are violating consent of a person that has the ability to give consent. Minors and intoxicated people are some examples of people that can't gove consent in which case their legal guardian must give consent.

The shitty thing about the tech scene is the utter disregard for consent because you know better.

Few things I hold higher contempt for over people that violate consent because they know what is best for someone else over that person themselves.

> But people kill themselves for all sorts of terrible non-terminal reasons. Teenagers, especially. We should try to help them not do it. And research like this might shed more light.

Yes they do and they should be helped but only if they or their legal guardian provides consent and is willing to be helped. Have you actually tried to help a person in this situation? Nothing more humiliating or pushing over the edge than your private mental struggles being exposed and well meaning assholes now made your contemplations into an issue you must act on (as in kill yourself or chicken out). Ffs! It's slavery not help what you have in mind. Your intentions don't change that fact.

> ...Here's a straw man argument"

I can see why you would say that but both in law enforcement and tech there are plenty examples of things being done for someones best interest that end up having horrific consequences. 72 hour mental health lockup suicides is one. You lock them up for monitoring their mental health for their own good except now they are so scarred of being treated like psychiatric patient they can't recover from it. Or drunks being locked up so they don't hurt themselves except other prisoners have fun with them.

> Yes. But as I understand it, soldiers sign up for a lot of evaluations and even some interventions over which they have no choice.

Right and if the purpose is to save the government money on dead soldiers it should be stated as such. When framed as a mental health tool, it is only natural to apply it to civilians. Also, Soldiers should also be allowed a chance to consent explicitly just like with everything else.
None of those motivations seem to make much sense. I’d bet on simple negligence: only a tiny minority insists on the chronological timeline and it’s therefore acceptable to annoy them from time to time.
i just looked up, the "American" confusion: we got our date order from the English long ago. Then the English changed their date order. That must have been most confusing

And month/day is not as confusing as day/month (widely used in Europe) since it doesn't correspond to how we say dates.

moving the year first then using the American MM/DD is the least confusing way to do it
A lot of it is the same European culture. If the Nazis hadn't cared about Jews and only went after Roma, communists, and homosexuals, they would have been as likely to enthusiastically participate as any other German.
Bart’s would be, “It didn’t happen, it was someone else, it was a good thing I did it”.
Pedagogical history isn't a strong argument for something's truth, just its usefulness to someone. Theology was considered a key component of a higher education for centuries and is still taught for example.

People have always strongly believed, and taught, things about their own languages and languages in general. They're not all wrong necessarily. But linguistics over the last like 80 years has produced some models that have incredible predictive and explanatory power, and are incompatible with a view of an objective "correct" or "best" or "standard" form of a language.
I thought the same thing, but then I had a reality check. If this gets bought by a tech company it will likely be ruined or killed off, or first ruined and then killed off.
Today I'm not sure which I have more confidence in. However long term I'm confident that we can eliminate enough bugs that the autonomous vehicle is better. Once statistics start to come out (real ones that account for all factors, not potentially biases ones from the company making the cars) I'll be looking for the time when we ban non-autonomous cars.

Everytime I rented a video on DVD, they were scratched. Renting DVDs was always an uncertain experience of not knowing whether I would see the whole movie or not. Often times entire scenes would just drop. Great technology, horrible implementation.

VHS was big, clunky, complicated and reliable. I never doubted it. Sure the quality was not as good, but if you were watching the movie for the first time, you didn’t care. It was consistent crap quality and I much preferred it over DVD.
Just an FYI for mac users: Universal Control is a native macOS alternative to barrier that's about to debut with macOS 12.3 (currently in beta). As an ex-synergy user, let me just say how awesome the implementation is. What's crazy is you can share your mouse and keyboard not only between two or more macs but also between your mac and an iPad (if you have one, obviously). And the latency is crazy unnoticably low (even over wifi).
Not saying I don’t agree with you, but a lot of fiat measures or security certs are based off the weaknesses of tradfi. I am guessing that crypto payment processor requires a much thinner layer of trust and leverages a lot of the underlying blockchain technology without having to build more glue around it.
They could relax their rules to allow for calls to military self-defense in the context of a "military operation" that has been condemned by the UN, while still banning "calls for violence" against Russians. The two are nothing like each other! Self-defense, or "standing one's ground" is not the same as initiating violence.
Great points!

>Korematsu v. United States, 323 U.S. 214 (1944), was a landmark decision by the Supreme Court of the United States to uphold the exclusion of Japanese Americans from the West Coast Military Area during World War II. The decision has been widely criticized,[1] with some scholars describing it as "an odious and discredited artifact of popular bigotry"[2] and as "a stain on American jurisprudence".[3] Chief Justice John Roberts explicitly repudiated the Korematsu decision in his majority opinion in the 2018 case of Trump v. Hawaii.[4] The case is often cited as one of the worst Supreme Court decisions of all time.

That’s the point. Most investors are served perfectly fine by an index fund and functional broker. That’s it.

Active trading and expensive funds are your enemy as an unsophisticated investor. VTI or ITOT and chill, and as long as you have income, discipline, and an emergency fund you’ll do better than most.

For me at least the reason is:

- with a subscription model (e.g., Spotify) I enjoy the music as long as a) I keep paying, and b) the supplier keeps supplying it

- with a "buy a CD" model, I own the music forever. I can copy it in another CD to preserve it if needed. I don't have to worry about Spotify or Apple Music being up/down or if they even increase their base price or not
Sort of reminds me of the IT guy at my high school who was shipped a crate of AOL floppies (I guess to distribute to the kids) who just moved the tabs and slapped a new label on them when he needed one.
That doesn’t really make sense. It wouldn’t necessarily or even likely have crashed at its destination as it should have returned to base once it reached those coordinates and completed its mission. And even if it were programmed to loiter until it was out of fuel (which… why?), the drones are supposed to land with a parachute so it wouldn’t have just crashed and exploded. The name coincidence is only interesting if you assume it crashed in a specific place of interest as opposed to randomly along its course. It’s much more likely and common for someone to fat finger in coordinates with a small, random error like flipping a sign or swapping digits. Flipping the sign on latitude or longitude fools the drone’s GNC system into targeting a destination that is on the opposite side of the planet and the system just flies in a straight line in that direction until it runs out of fuel. It’s the same failure mode as googling the wrong coordinates but a more commonly occurring category of user error.
> The money is “clean” when it arrives in the UK, with extensive documentation to demonstrate it’s provenance.

Actually most of the World's money laundering happens in tax heavens, of which like half is Uk/US/EU islands and territories. Money from known dictators flows through them, and shell companies "invest" in london properties, inflating realestate prices and robbing locals of the chanse to ever own a home.

Even when money is coming directly from Russia, no documentation regarding its origin was needed to buy a house.

There is a string of never ending money laundering scandals at deutche bank, HSBC, abd credit Suisse.

None of this is secret, this is all in official court documents.

Similarly, not all Christians in Israel or Ghaza are Arabs (though the vast majority are). I didn't want to list all somewhat significant ethnic minorities, so I thought Arab (Muslim, Christian, Druze, etc) + (non-Arabic) Christians (including Armeneans, Arameans, Copts, Assyrians and many other small groups, together making up something like 10k people)
The most interesting thing about Russia economically, in terms of settling dust, is that Putin has been revealed to be weak and very incompetent. The native mythology and position of Putin is based heavily on strength projection, and now the world is seeing that his military is a joke compared to what it was thought to be. Putin's power is heavily derived from the belief that Russia had a very potent military. Important figures (important to Putin's reign) in their domestic audience are also seeing their weakness on display. The facade was agreed upon (don't talk about the reality of the situation, everyone pretend Russia is strong), and now their context is revealed to be fragile. The reality of their military power debases Putin's image, his own mythology, his own power projection. The worst damage to Russia isn't the economic sanctions, it's the revealing of its decrepitness and national weakness; it's revealing that the tsar has no clothes (as is so often the case).

Putin will have to kill a lot of people in Russia and clamp down massively, extremely violently, to continue holding power over the next decade. It'll only further crush Russia. He didn't have to do that to the extent that people believed he was a competent autocrat, with a hyper powerful military at his behest. Now he'll have to compensate for the loss of that image (an image which was preventing some inevitable challenge to his authority), with raw brutality.

The sharks will begin circling around Russia and Putin's weakness. The thing to be revealed yet is what exactly that's going to look like, what form that will take (for example, China being emboldened to put the squeeze on Russia to its own benefit (whether in trade or otherwise), knowing how weak Russia really is).

USA-centrism per se would still seem to recognise second languages, several state legislatures use Spanish, I think at least one publishes laws in Spanish & English.

Part of USA even has Spanish as an official and principal language - Puerto Rico.
Thank you, this is my point. The Israeli right wing views the Palestinian state as an extension of Jordan and other Arab states surrounding Israel, and while they are not currently shooting at each other, they are most definitely not at peace with them.

I don't think it's theft but I also don't think it's really equivalent to that either. After all 1,000,000 people can smell what the restaurant is cooking for another customer and it doesn't cost the restaurant any more than if 0 people did because the restaurant is letting the scent go out either way. On the other hand if 1,000,000 people watch a 100 MB video and block ads it certainly costs the content provider a lot more than if nobody did.
Photographic reports claim its a Brahmos based on the rocket motor's honeycomb inlet. How viable is that this happened by accident?

(Disclaimer: I am an unbiased Indian expat)

People who follow strategic news, as a side interest (inclusive yours truly), are dumbfounded. There has to be some ridiculous reason this happened. Missile systems have a lot of safeguards which need to be interlocked to fire a weapon.

If the weapon is advanced as it is claimed (and not just a rebranded dumb P700 Granit) it needs to have a target coordinate, a flight path, charged launching fuse/initiator, and the TEL upright or fully extended as the configuration permits (Indian Su 30s can launch Brahmos too but none of the news report mention it was air launched. The reports indicate flight originated at Sirsa, a garrison town ~150km from border). Except for the launch programming, every launch sequence involves several mechanical steps.

Striking out possible mischief makers, this was (1) a drill that went terribly wrong, and weapons were 'hot' without a target coordinate (2) flight computer had a malfunction in middle of a routine test (This is however less likely because no NOTAMs were issued in India, and the path could be over populated areas. Also any test would be done on the Pokhran weapons test range or Wheeler Island in Bay of Bengal)

The flight speed & path are pretty consistent with how a BrahMos could operate. The initial estimate of 3 minutes & 130 km puts it in the ~2.5 Mach operating bracket.

The incident was handled with grace and restraint by Pakistan. I give them credit for not escalating militarily. As a side note, Indian defense suffers from several problems that Russia faces, albeit at a smaller scale. The corruption is prevalent not throughout the chain - but near the top. Those interested could look up Bofors Howitzer guns kickback scandal, or more recently the corruption charges in AugustaWestland chopper procurement. Although I have a deeper understanding of IAF (which is riddled with management problems), if the situation is similar with Army - they may not be really prepared for modern warfares with need for training & upgrades.
I think a really important factor is where in the reporting structure DevRel sits. I was a Dev Advocate at Google, and because we were in the engineering ladder there was not much of a comp difference between my role and a SWE. We had folks from junior all the way to senior staff / principal (basically Director level IC). If anything, some folks got paid more because they had really solid engineering skills along with public speaking and marketing skills.

Other places put DevRel in marketing (not always a bad thing, but a definite red flag) and/or treat them like glorified blog post writers and talking heads. You won't get high quality folks if this is the case.
Anyone remember Famous Video in the Denver area?
"He also admitted that he believes in “HBD” which is an alt-right euphemism for racist views on IQ."

Good to see an unbiased take such as this.

Let's look up what that means. First hit on google: "HBD IQ" (For me)(https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/jttfuxoQpYsnNEAqG/suppose-hb...)

"Human bio-diversity, the claim that distinct populations of humans exist and have substantial genetical variance which accounts for some difference in average intelligence from population to population"

I mean I'm sure racists love the idea, but it doesn't exactly strike me as obviously 100% untrue.
Another analogy I like, is that it's akin to banning people from inventing new languages that nobody else understands. It's like adults banning a form of piglatin their kids made up just because they can't decipher what the kids are saying to each other.

> Would it be completely out of this world to assume that Lunduke is simply being careless here, because it's not on his radar? I certainly wouldn't go checking if people I've interviewed before have changed gender since last time around, before referring to them in an article.

I'd love it if that were the case, but his comments directly aimed at trans people suggest otherwise.

He is anti-vax & anti-trans and you just have to scroll down his twitter feed to see just how hateful he is. Finding "fun" in technology is not telling women that they are men in dresses, using their deadnames, or vocally pulling your kids out of school because of "medical tyranny".

I have no love for the wacky Linux Sucks guy anymore. His radicalism and hate has coloured his views too much for me.

The existential crisis of Judaism is indeed a core issue, although I am of the opinion that it does not justify the tactics and laws present. That does make it an Apartheid state.

Do you feel that is true of Picasso, who was cited as an example in the article? When I see his oldest stuff, I can see the art in some of it, but other examples leave me questioning the validity of any his art. And Pollack literally just sprayed paint on a canvas.

I don't think most marketers are evil, but as an industry marketing includes a lot of bad actors and boundary pushers that actively make the internet worse for financial gain. As a result I think it's fair for an individual to have an adversarial stance with "marketing" even if your employer's marketing department is pretty benign and helpful.

I can see why outstanding contributions won't make a big dent in salary, but they absolutely have to make a huge difference in bonus. If I have an outstanding year my bonus should be at least an integer multiple of a more normal year.

SWE work can be super impactful depending on what you're working on (especially in startups), why can't we share in more of the glory? In some companies, if you run the numbers and divide that result by the total number of hands that have touched the project you can STILL come up with net revenue or even profit that is 100x+ what you're being paid. And not seeing more than a token piece of that is just wrong.

If I knew that performance could net me 2x or more of my salary, you can bet I'd be a lot more motivated to work hard.

It seems like the obvious solution here is to have another language that semantically means "force English" which is only ever sent by the browser if the user explicitly selected English in OS or browser settings. That way, the ambiguity between "en-us" meaning "default" or meaning "us English" would go away. Maybe even setting Accept-Language to "en-us,en-us" could mean that?
If you want to get the attention of technical audiences, create great technical content. Blogs, YouTube videos, conference talks, etc. If it's good, your audience will spread it among themselves using their existing social connections.

If you don't have good content, then you don't get access to technical users who do everything in their power to avoid useless noise on the internet.

Connectors are usually built so there is a small amount of "wiping" as they seat, which will scrape off oxides or dirt. They will also have just the right amount pressure to balance longevity versus contact resistance. The pockit connectors may not balance these factors well (depends on what's making contact from the modules - I couldn't find the details readily). Regardless they won't have wiping, which isn't mandatory but is the cheapest way to keep connections reliable.

So likely they won't have nearly the cycle life of USB-C but do they really need to?
