Not everyone lives close enough for their neighbor's wifi.

These comparisons are very sloppy. Different frequencies act differently, have different limits of exposure, and have different effects. First you need to establish which frequencies are comparable or fit the same category/type. Then you have to set exposure limits (acute and cumulative). Reducing one's RF exposure by 5mW (1W at 15 feet) while one sleeps could be significant in these respects depending on what those limits and baseline exposures are. The fact is, there is little known about the mechanisms and the limits. For example, why does glucose metabolism increase in the brain when exposed to cell RF and how does that increased glucose metabolism affect the rest of the biological system it's a part of? (Honest question. It's something that I found interesting but seems it's lacking research.)

My point was that it doesn't hurt to take basic steps like turning off wifi or using speaker phone. We can show that it measurably reduces exposure, but we don't know if it helps or makes a difference when it comes to outcomes.
yeah I always figured the "we hire autistic people" PR thing I see some companies do was more cynical than altruistic
the 1st amendment wasn't enacted in the 60s so there must be something i'm missing... can you clarify?
This is really interesting; is there somewhere with more detail on the work completed under this program?

That shift already exists plenty, as one can see from the high degree of automation of those warehouses. The only thing that Unions would change there is that they can bargain e.g. for re-training of the workers made redundant.
I for one am enjoying this. Sure they could probably just use a regular ol' database, but where is the excitement in that!
Public works projects do all of that.

Also, there are not going to be environmental benefits, the only difference is that the batteries would be getting built somewhere else.
They do great work and their leadership works hard to distance themselves from Facebook malefeasance

My personal efforts to extract my friend from her psychiatric misdiagnosis are ongoing [ref: my comment history]. I think I'm going to get somewhere.

The Supreme Court of the United States [SCOTUS] denied my petition for extraordinary writ [0] on February 22. This asked SCOTUS to order the district court to abide by the case law requiring an evidentiary hearing (tl/dr: I filed for habeas corpus in the US District Court in January 2018. My friend's legal mail was intercepted by her $9,000/month treatment center. The owner of the facility was formerly a criminal defense attorney, and wrote a crafty letter which was docketed as a 'motion to dismiss'. I now have videos proving this is fraudulent. The District Court and the Court of Appeals would rather not deal with me, because I'm asking them to deal with our make-work mental health industry.)

I sent SCOTUS a petition for rehearing [1] last month. This time I told them about how the Soviets' preferred medication for dissident re-education was haloperidol, My petition for rehearing specifically asks the supreme court to end the medical torture of U.S. citizens [pdf pg 3]. This has been distributed for the April 14 2022 conference.

My friend is 'stabilized' with haloperidol when she gets out of sorts [1, pg 4]. All she actually needs is an adequate diet and a low-stress environment.

The Mad in America [MIA] foundation posted my essay about how I got to file at SCOTUS:
Malignant Do-Gooderism: The Tragedies of Allopathic Psychiatry - https://www.madinamerica.com/2022/02/malignant-gooderism/

If SCOTUS denies my petition for rehearing, I next get to file a proper petition for writ of certiorari. My application for extension of time [2] was granted last month. (Something interesting: 21A512 has a 'received' stamp, whereas [1] does not. The difference is that I had the post office stamp the date on the outside of the envelope on [1], whereas I just sent 21A512 with stamps, and it presumably was not dated. SCOTUS pro-tip: have your mailings date-stamped by the post office.)

A few people have reached out to me on Twitter after reading my MIA essay. One of them has a very good 'false claims act' suit. She escaped from Arizona's involuntary mental health industry after 3 years of harmful treatment, with the assistance of her family. Can't share the details, because 'false claims' cannot be presented for swindles that are covered in the media (for example). I remember also witnessing the class of medical abuse that this woman was subjected to.

There was no contradiction. The difference was nuclear power plant vs nuclear weapons.
indeed, predictable and disappointing how the discussion devolved into pedantry. should have been obvious what the author meant (plus it is clarified at the very beginning of the article). I'm not sure if this is a ML practitioner vs. statisticians thing or what

The fact is that everyone has a certain amount of "privilege" due to their membership to a group and the complex dynamics that exist between groups. There is no person who doesn't have a list of advantages and disadvantages compared to others. Understanding that, and that your experience will not always be what everyone's experience has been is all you need.

Men get harsher sentences than women for the same crimes, but we don't really hear much about "female privilege". If you want to point out discrimination, you don't need any concept for "privilege". The problem was never that one group has something. The problem is that one group does not have something. It's the inequality that needs to be addressed, not the "privilege".

Making blanket assumptions about people on the basis of their skin color is something we should be avoiding, not encouraging. Keep the focus on what needs to be solved and suddenly you avoid all the problems focusing on "white privilege" causes like resentment, defensiveness, blame, and guilt.

Yes, that's the OP of the HN post that's linked to in the comment I'm replying to.
> I think that's a brilliant policy. It forces the unions to have some skin in the game. If you're on the board, you have a fiduciary responsibility to the company and it's shareholders. In the U.S., most union bosses are happy to bleed a company dry provided the bleed is slow enough for them to make it to retirement (or death in the case of folks with a nice pension).

You mean how shareholders and boardmembers are happy to completely dismantle perfectly functioning companies for a short term stock gain? I would argue workers generally have much more skin in the game than shareholders. Hardly any large shareholder is going to loose their livelihood if a company goes down, workers do.
Certainly their surface areas are both O(r^2) :-)

Actually though, I think a sphere is still in a way the right object. The weird donut is a representation of the amount that is emitted in different directions - I guess it's a contour of equal intensity. But the radiation is still emitted at the speed of light in every direction. So the wavefront at any given time is a sphere (until it is defracted or reflected).

(Edited to add) unless you're thinking of a really big dipole, so you can't treat it as a point source? Or close to it.
I had a bunch of Karabiner shortcuts setup when I primarily drove a Mac. Since start of Covid I started on Windows fulltime when I upgraded my devices. At first the lack of emacs-like controls left me a little sad. (Have used emacs since 1998).

I soon discovered AutoHotkey and the Emacs configuration by John Cooper. It is pretty awesome. I have more consistency than I had on Mac. I also have emacs(like) bindings on Excel, Davinci Resolve, Chrome, and more.

Lest you think I'm weird for liking emacs, I also use an ErgoDox keyboard, so I probably am.
It parses, but it's not interactive at all. For example, it doesn't run code blocks, iirc
I don't think the "number" input is nearly as bad as the "time" input...

"Microwave oven leakage exposure, while it can be quite large compared to a cell phone's average radiated power,"

Is this really true under most circumstances? I think lifetime leakage limit is set at 5mW for microwaves and a cellphone is much higher during tx at around 800mW.
Do you find some years need 53 boxes?

If you're born April 1, 52 weeks after your birth would be March 31, and after 52 more weeks it would be March 30 (before considering leap years).

I guess it can stay 52 boxes, and the last box has a day extra (or two, on leap years).
I'm surprised people in this thread are so opposed to trying to gain status. It took me too long to realize, but status, like money, is just a tool at your disposal in society.

You can be too obsessed with status, just like you can be too obsessed with money, and use them for the "wrong" reasons.

But there are things money lets you do that you couldn't do otherwise, like buying a home for your family or bootstrapping a company.

For status, it's the same. Going to X school gives you an easier chance of getting into X company. Knowing X amount of people gives you more opportunities to meet other well-connected people, allowing you to gain more diversified interactions and/or spread your own influence. Having a trustworthy reputation gives people a reason to give you a minute of their time, and sometimes that first impression is all you need to start a relationship or get funding for your company.

Finally, there are things that status gives you that all the money in the world won't.
You can use a managed version of the database in production, and an "unmanaged" local Docker image during development.
I don't think you're wrong per se, but IMO elementary is among the more unique distros. They have a very particular user experience in mind, and there's nothing quite like it in the Linux world.
I got inspired by an Emacs video [0] I found on HN and decided to (once again) try and learn to use it. A lot of emacs videos are tutorials and boring, but it was really cool to see some of the features from someone who was very enthusiastic about it.

I keep coming back to emacs every few months so I figured it has to mean something. I tried setting up a react development environment. Got some stuff like auto-complete, but missing other stuff. I essentially want it to mirror VS code to start. I know it's possible but there's definitely a learning curve. I also tried setting up a python environment, and had similar results.

It's one of those technologies that seems life changing. Not necessarily in productivity (who cares right?), but just empowering. The closest thing you can get to being a hacker in a movie, setting up an environment where you can easily program macros to do any arbitrary tasks or alter the environment. It really seems like an incredible piece of software that, on the surface level, looks like it could serve as as the framework for so many things, kind of like the web browser is today, but more flexible and programmable. Maybe it's just been around too long. I think if it was invented just today it would have a lot of hype. But because it's been around so long, it's just meh.

I don't know, maybe I'm just being romantic about it and will never get over the learning curve. It's really hard to leave VS Code for development.

Bugs are like mice: when you see one there will be 10's, when you see 10's there will be 100's. But if you see none, there really might be none. Though that's pretty rare, usually it just means you have friendly and well formatted input.
That makes sense by number of personnel, but not overall budget. Your local police department doesn't need tanks and aircraft carriers...
You expect any company to have on payroll corporate counsel 24/7 for emergency requests in like 200 jurisdictions ?

To an extent, yes as a matter of fact, or at minimum a Registered Agent. Because in almost all of those 200 Jurisdictions, for a majority of business types (including Corporations) a Registered Agent is required by law for exactly this purpose: to receive and help your company properly respond to legal requests.

Similarly, an Authorized Agent for your business is empowered to respond to such inquiries

Okay, but this is a database now.

Is there a reason the replication needs to be built-in?
You can do that with some products, not all. In some cases all we have left are things like local support and software development. This is particularly true in industrial segments --which is where we are.

In the consumer sector things are increasingly in the picture you painted. You can do this on Amazon for just about anything. Once the Chinese figured out how to sell directly through portals such as Amazon, that gig was up.

Design, domain expertise and more in-context areas is were the west still leads on many ways. It's product dependent, of course. That's why Apple designs here and manufactures in China.

In our case, it is a combination of our embedded and workstation software that creates a reasonably solid barrier to entry. This, along with some of the protection offered by patents and trademarks (which can be near zero in some cases).

To be sure, this is a very complex and difficult landscape that has evolved over about 50 years. I you go back that far, China was mostly an agrarian economy. There's a solid argument that says that this is something that has been mismanaged for five decades. You don't get where we are now overnight.

That is not to say I hate China or the Chinese. They are doing what they have to do in order to further their economy and more. We might not agree with some of their government's darker policy positions. Not much we can do about that. On the subject of being laser-focused on economic growth through rabid entrepreneurial drive, China is probably without equal. That, as an entrepreneur, I have to admire. Most people would be floored by what they would learn from just one trip to Shenzhen.

The "I can just buy it on Aliexpress" argument is fine and very real. The problem with accepting this without looking inward at the decisions and policies that do not allow us to compete is that things will get worse here and better there. It is inevitable.

I'll give you a simple example: There's a international postal treaty dating back to the 1700's (or was it 1800's, I don't remember) that gives China the ability to ship products into the US for nothing or nearly nothing. We, the US, subsidize these shipments 100%. I cannot ship from Los Angeles to New York for free. I have to pay. A Chinese competitor can offer free shipping all the way from China. I either have to charge a significant amount for shipping or take a margin hit (which means growth, job creation and the ability to survive events such as pandemics are compromises).

We are not making intelligent decisions.

Inspiring comment!
Great article! Disclaimer: I'm a co-founder of Aserto [0], where we're building a platform for API / microservices authorization.

I couldn't agree more that the question of how to get the data to the policy decision point is one of the most interesting and hardest challenges for this scenario.

You don't want to replicate the entire world in both your application's data store and your authorization system. But you also want to follow the principle of separation of concerns as much as practical.

There may be scenarios where your authorization system has to make calls to an external system, but that can cause availability and latency concerns. Ideally the decision engine has all the data it needs to make an authorization decision, without having to query another system.

For filtering scenarios that involve returning too much data to the client (which the client would need to filter locally), you could also imagine the authorization system doing a "partial evaluation" and return you an AST which you can walk and attach as "where clauses" to your query. Here's an interesting read on how to do this with the OPA decision engine. [1]

Remembering IEEE Spectrum Columnist Bob Lucky
The problem with the distribution/DE divide is that there’s a lot that doesn’t fall squarely in the realm of one or the other, and so confining yourself to just being a DE means making a big pile of compromises and diluting the end product.

I don’t know specifically what those things are in the case of elementary, but for example one could imagine certain bits of design in a desktop’s file manager being tied to how the distribution’s filesystem is arranged. Sure the file manager would technically work with other filesystem designs, but then the file manager may as well not exist because it brings little to the table that other file managers haven’t already.

So I can see why someone who’s concerned with fine tuning details in the desktop experience they’re crafting wanting to also be a distribution. Unfortunately that’s also a massively tall order due to the time, personnel, and effort required to pull such a feat off.
I am amazed at the longevity of the Morrowind IP. I still get occasional waves of nostalgia going back to playing the game when I was young. This was before the internet made it trivial to find out everything there was to know about a game. Brb...installing...
You're basically saying you think depression/anxiety/ADHD are disorders but autism is "part of who you are". Is a personality change indicative of whether something is a disorder or not? Is it only when the change is perceived to negative?
That looked surprisingly usable. The main issue seems to be that the levels aren't designed for an isometric camera. OTOH, it would make the experience of a swing which clearly visibly connected but failed due to a bad 'attack roll' less jarring.
