It's not about hurting rich people. Where is this class warfare idea coming from?! It's about making the best use of the land.

A land tax encourages building denser housing and therefore increasing the number of homes available to people, putting downward pressure on housing (and rent)
prices.

A land tax does not go up if the dwelling on it go up in value/price. It encourages replacing single family homes with denser dwellings.
Apple is quick to tell you all the things that the heart monitor can NOT do, but I think they have already had cases where the watch detected peculiarities in heart rhythms and suggested getting things checked out by a doctor which did save lives.

> It was exported to Japan (Senpai and kōhai is a direct model of Korean sunbae, hoobae) ...

Hmm I don't exactly know which way the terms were exported, but many people blame modern Korea's ageism on colonial Japan (at least partially), where the Japanese Empire tried to run itself as grandiose military barracks and trained everyone to be subject to the social hierarchy. Rigid hierarchy and hazing was a huge problem in the Imperial Japanese military.

The Joseon dynasty (1392-1910) had numerous issues but actually ageism wasn't as prevalent. Confucian scholars regularly made friends with each other over five or ten years of age difference. (You may think "so what?" but that pretty much never happens among students in modern Korea.)

Also, one reason that Joseon allowed Japanese landing at the start of the invasion of 1592 was that that division of the navy was led by Won Gyun, one of the worst admirals in Korea's history. Shortly after the war began he ordered his own fleet burned and ran away.

(Later, the legendary Yi Sunshin was imprisoned after being framed by Japanese espionage, and Won became the commander again. He then sailed the whole Korean fleet into a death trap at the battle of Chilcheonnyang, losing almost the entire fleet. Won ran away and likely died. We don't know exactly what happened to him.)

Why should I trust open source today? Packages are routinely hacked, political message or not. I 100% agree this has no place in open source but (1) people subject to the effects of war aren't in most sound state of mind and (2) "npm install" is arbitrarily running pre- and post- hook commands that can do all sorts of fun things on your machine. This commit looks harmless in comparison to packages looking for wallets and AWS credentials.

On version 1.0.26. Committed 23 days ago as "update":

https://github.com/Yaffle/EventSource/commit/de137927e13d8af...

Also looking more at the update, I'm guessing it came from the repo owner (who is in Russia), not necessarily "political activists". Committed by a deleted "Viktor".
>"In fact if you really want to wreck Russia, what you should do is encourage it to try and conquer Ukraine. Putin again is much too smart to do that."

I think there is still a ton of time for these intentions to play out, and I think they the quote is still accurate. Russia can not conquer all of Ukraine, and never attempted to do so. If they invasion went better than their wildest dreams, they might have taken what is east of the Dnieper, but would be unlikely to hold on to that.

The invasion did and still lines up with the intentions of regime change, and taking some boarder regions.
Sure, but I'm not talking about high energy physics in general, I'm talking about the estimates in this specific paper. Which the guy who is doing bleeding edge stuff seems a little suspicious of (see tweet).

See also: https://twitter.com/pietrovischia/status/1512174848558219270

This does not seems like bleeding edge, it seems like "Gaussian approximations for everything."

In fact, this is the reference for the technique they used: https://cds.cern.ch/record/183996/files/OUNP-88-05.pdf. (Although the criticism seems to be leveled at the way they estimate the correlations, not that linear estimator specifically?)
I didn't say it wasn't support, I said it's limited. Not to mention there are use-cases like projectors, where such a limitation is even more likely to exist.

It is an issue with the original hardware to rely on something it can't detect and doesn't have fallbacks for. Chromecast can absolutely change what physical outputs it offers.

Say instead of talking about relying on DD+ passthrough, it lacked the support for YCbCr 4:2:2 and required RGB 8:8:8 from all displays, then that too would be something Chromecast does wrong.
This isn't a good analogy. A retailer is responsible for giving you what you ordered (a nice new widget) because you are literally buying it from them. In this case, Affirm isn't fulfilling the purchase at all.

I think a better analogy would be you bought a house, but you find out later the seller lied about something (maybe they didn't install a new roof like they claimed), so you think the best course of action is to stop making mortgage payments to your bank.

> Regardless of whether amazon was actually responsible for providing the widget they received your money and ergo they are responsible for giving it back.

Yeah, after you request a refund from them. Try issuing a chargeback to Amazon next time you buy something from a 3rd party seller, I think you will have a bad time.

Windows user here. I feel that the computer should work for the human, not the other way around. I use whatever unicode characters are appropriate for the file, except the minimum set of disallowed characters: colon, slash, asterisk...

Any tool that can't handle that is faulty, and I'll either stop using it or make a temporary symlink to get the job done. But most tools are fine with unicode these days. Of course I speak from the perspective of a personal computer situation with no deadlines or business requirements or software limitations.

I still use the old cmd.exe with the Terminal font. It doesn't even render most unicode properly, they come out as ?. I deal with it because I like cmd.exe and I like Terminal and I'd rather see ? than butcher the file's name by romanizing it.
> Creative industries are on the cusp of a massive upset.

This has already happened in video games with the advent of Unity's Asset Store: https://assetstore.unity.com/ and the explosion of video streaming services and original content. The reason we have ~50 "Breaking Bad" level quality tv-shows on-going right now is because its incredibly cheap to manufacture content and digital assets (cheaper lens, equipment, software, access to massive compute for rendering).

If anything this means an explosion of entertainment, not an upset.

> what do you recommend if we find a pattern where at the end of each week, we made maybe 25% progress on that weeks commitments? Dates committed by the team itself - not forced on them from the outside or management.

I'd typically handle this in a weekly sprint call, or during 1on1s.

I'd typically take responsibility for my team's missed deadlines too, as there's almost always something more management can be doing to make their teams successful (barring bad faith performance from an employee, which deserves a different conversation).

If it was an honest missed deadline, I might say something like: "Hey team, I know we missed the deadline and that's had [this specific impact] on us and [this specific impact] on our client. I want to apologize because I should have caught this delay sooner. I also want to offer up [suggestion 1] and [suggestion 2] as ways to get back on track. But I'm open to other ideas as well."

Obviously, there's nuance to every situation and that isn't a 1 size fits all, but it's a general theme I'd typically use.

Some suggestions I'd typically offer were:

* Reallocating complex tasks from Jr. members to more Sr. members

* Reducing the scope

* Offering to help personally with some tasks

* Bringing in additional resources

* Revising our expectations for next week

> It killed morale for the few of us that were focused on delivery. We all left the team over it, and 6 months later the team was re-org’d.

Yep, I've seen this happen myself too. Sorry you went through it. I hope the move was a good one for you. In my experience top-performers really don't like it when other team members bring the speed / strength of the team down. It totally kills morale. But, I do put a lot of that responsibility on the manager. They should see this happening and adjust before the top performers get annoyed.

This. Also, 3 month trial periods instead of interviews are not going to happen for two reasons: a) there are still many people out there applying for jobs that couldn't code an append operation for a linked list, b) the cost that such trials would put on companies - if you ever mentored a junior you know the cost.

Your observation about practicing medicine being a "dark art" has a lot of merit. As such the idea applies to most if not all medical specialties and I strongly suspect is no less true among science-based disciplines in general.

In health care domains we desperately want to believe providers know precisely what they're doing. It's particularly vexing to find out that "facts" are surrounded by an intrinsic level of uncertainty. IOW whatever action a practitioner deems best in a given situation is a judgement call grounded in experience. Sure, that's bolstered by underlying science, systematic investigations and published reports, but still there's no escaping the probabilistic nature of knowledge in the fields of medicine.

The provider you want to have is one who strives to do what's possible up to the limits of techniques and technology, and above all seeks to learn from every patient encounter.
> I even agree with the message but we must keep this out of open source or we're going to lose all of it because nobody will be able to trust it and use of open source will immediately fail certifications. This is wells poisoning, all of them.

There are deeper issues with NPM: how many developers review or audit any packages they download anymore cause each time they pull a single package, it comes with 3000+ dependencies? I'm being hyperbolic, but "open source" isn't the issue here.

What certification are you even talking about if developers themselves can't be bothered to audit their 3000+ NPM dependencies at first place? It's too much work cause too much dependencies? Well that's the architecture NPM chose. I don't have that issue with Go, PHP or Java package management oddly...
I hope that they adopt something along the lines of the Gumshoe RPG System that provides a little more depth to the investigative aspects. Blade Runner shouldn't be just a combat-based shoot 'em up; it demands attention to its roots in noir detective fiction.
That's not the ruling. The ruling said the test was excluding minorities and the Constitution doesn't allow for exclusionary policy. All the judge can do is rule on the law. If the ruling holds up, then it goes back to the legislature to come up with something else or change the law. The judge can't make new rules or apply their own opinion on how things should be. If you disagree, your quarrel is with whoever wrote this part of the Constitution.
Until 'weird' and different becomes systemically shutting out minorities. People justify a lot of things they shouldn't

Caveat: my training is in control system,s not computer science. I assume these types of papers to be similar enough that the following will be useful.

I have heard that advice before, but I generally disagree. Unless you are doing a literature search, reading the references is a waste of time. And most conclusions aren't really worth reading either. They typically read as though the author has completely exhausted themselves by writing the rest of the paper, and simply restart the last paragraph of the introduction in new words.

If you are trying to get up to speed on a new field, a good introduction can really help with you reference search.

Part of "how to read a paper" depends on what you are trying to do. If it's a seminal paper that are are just going to read, that is a very different thing from reading a paper in search of a solution (or trying to figure out of your idea is novel).

In this second case, your main task is to decide if the paper is even worth reading. IMO, this takes a lot practice. Fully reading a paper to the extent you really understand it can be extremely time consuming. It's important to be willing to throw out the paper if at any point (no matter how much time you've put into it) it becomes clear it doesn't work for you.

I will generally skim the abstract and/or the last two paragraphs (or so) of the introduction. If it still sounds promising I look through the next section or two, which are usually some kind of "problem setup" and "proposed solution scheme". I skip things I don't immediately understand. If my interest is still piqued, I look for the results section where the plots are (if it's a practical paper). If I'm still interested, I go back to Section II and start reading more carefully. I'll spend more time with tricky math, but not too much. Save staring at the same four equations for two hours for at least the third pass.

Oh, and if a paper is tricky (for me) and seems worth my time, printing it out single sided and laying the pages out side by side on my desk can be really helpful.

The very last bit of the article interestingly stated that they author wouldn't spend time doing prep again, they would only make sure they applied with a referral.

I don't entirely understand why Linux took over and left BSD as an also-ran (except for Apple which uses BSD.) They're very similar in terms of core functionality and there was even Debian/kBSD that ran the Debian userland on a BSD kernel.

Was it the specter of lawsuits (which ultimately had no effect?)

Was it the "cathedral vs. the bazaar" (which didn't really cause that much of a divergence between *BSD and GNU/Linux distros in terms of core functionality?)

Was it GPL vs. permissive licensing (which seems like it would favor BSD in terms of adoption?)

According to Michael Levin's research, cancer happens when some cells disconnect from the organism-wide electric network that coordinates cell division and specialization. Cells need to share their state somehow to progress towards a common goal like forming a specific organ, and this is how they do it.

After I found out about this, I now view all other cancer research suspiciously. Them trying to maybe cure one specific type of cancer by blocking some specific protein now feels like they're trying to fix a bug in a react web app by carefully loading a crudely written kernel extension into the OS. Yes, it's technically possible, but wouldn't it make more sense to operate on the right abstraction level?

Thanks for commenting here with more context. I’ve considered apply to AWS in the past, but was hesitant to due to the mostly negative online feedback about working there. However, as you suggested, there has to be folks who love working there. I read the reviews for my current employer and there are some negative reviews that don’t seem accurate of my experience there. I think my employer is a generally good place to work. I typically work 50-60 hours a week consistently, so I wonder if the work/life complaints regarding AWS would be that different from the demands of my current position.
If you view a job as just a job, and find meaning in other things in life, optimizing for TC seems incredibly rational. The problem is some people doing that don't actually find meaning in anything but money.

Yes, it's a common tactic to use the most abstract terms to obscure the meaning of policies and rulings like these. Lets be more concrete: the test was excluding minorities how?
