> Or are they embracing modern tech practices?

I wouldn't get on board of anything built with modern tech practices... For safety-critical components, I trust waterfall, heavy process and tons of testing way more than I trust the Agile way of not giving a f and producing code that barely works.

When I got out of art school I remember a couple of not particularly talented but nice hardworking artists had some wild early success that no one quite understood.

Then we found out later they had hired agents that generally worked with actors. I remember thinking that was genius. Then I remember thinking I was tired and poor.
I'm afraid that with rockets becoming more and more affordable, especially if Starship becomes a thing, the US army will do their own version of Starlink but instead of communications satellites it'll be weapons. It doesn't even have to be anything fancy, anything kinetic that can make it through re-entry will be able to do a lot of damage anywhere. Think a payload of tungsten or depleted uranium bullets, targeted to land in an area; I'm fairly sure they would impact with as much energy as from a gun, like the A-10 Warthog's.

No. But Listerine usage is often wrong -- even the recommended usage.

The "correct" flow for oral hygiene is as follows:

1. Flossing (removing potential bacterial food -- sugars -- stuck between your teeth, as well as disrupting streptococcus mutans biofilm formation)

2. Tongue scraping - you can use a teaspoon (removing potential bacterial food on your tongue, clearing streptococcus mutans hiding in your tongue)

3. Mouthwash (targeting the joins between your teeth and tongue)

4. Toothpaste (covering your teeth and gums in fluoride so it can react with your saliva to form fluorapatite)

The mouthwash exclusively comes before toothpaste, not afterwards. Using it afterwards essentially negates the whole use of the high amount of fluoride in toothpaste -- as would rinsing your mouth with water -- which is where your sensitivity may be coming from. Rather, after brushing, swirl the toothpaste in your mouth for about 20 seconds and just spit it all out and don't drink or eat afterwards.

Consider following the above at a bare minimum, as well as potentially using a toothpaste that contains nano-hydroxyapatite (i.e Apagard) or some sort of bioglass (i.e Biomin F) and don't rinse your mouth out after brushing and your sensitivity will go away within a day or two.
Delivery and taxes are the smallest of all problems. When you bring devices into general circulation you have to follow the law for these devices on local grounds. Trading partners can indeed do the necessary qualifications for that, but it is the same bells and whistles. You can avoid it secretly (aka. Pay a courier and hope that the customs officer does not check the certifications on the product). If you as a user use it and the product behaves badly you can get seriously fined (e.g. disturbance of the radio spectrum).

It is costly, very time consuming (think months to years) and very risky (the authorities often reject things and you need to go back to the drawing board) to do it the official way.

Almost impressed at the cleverness of this all! Especially since, if it's done right, all parties see "business as usual" - and even if they DO suspect a scam, nobody has any incentive past a moral one to say anything.
Hmm? This doesn't make much sense. MSSQL does these already I think (except the first)

.

- Inlining scalar function calls (less impactful now with Sql Server 2019)

write them as table valued funcs and it'll inline them for you (ugly but it works and is easy)

.

- Removing joins from a query when we know it won't impact the number of records

That's just tree pruning. It does that

.

- Deepening where conditions against derived tables

If I understand you that's predicate pushdown. MSSQL does it well.

.

- Killing "branches" of union queries when they can be determined to not matter statically

Not sure what you mean. Can you give an example?
It isn't a matter of "compile time": explicit type declarations and definitions can often be formally sound but practically worthless.

Significant types in ETL-style applications typically come from outside (e.g. a certain CSV column in the input file contains a date in YYYYMMDD format, or maybe YYYYDDMM, figure it out, and don't forget time zones or your accounting will go wrong).

Then types are mostly complex but obvious and easily deducted (e.g. multiplying matrices of compatible shapes necessarily gives a matrix of a certain shape, why should the program say anything more detailed or lower-level than "do a matrix multiplication" or "do a tensor product"?); they are an often dynamic and unpredictable property of the data, not a useful abstraction.

That's incredibly interesting, because I've been using union types a while and didn't know this. I think a lot of people will get introduced to them via function signatures, and var: ICat | IDog not meaning "var could be an ICat or an IDog" is a bit unintuitive given the boolean math.

But ultimately more useful? As in, code should never test whether this thing is an ICat or IDog, and I guess it's interesting that I don't remember ever encountering an issue where I attempted to access a member that was only present on one interface.

Perhaps it would be too overloaded, but "ICat + IDog" instead of "ICat & IDog" feels more obvious, I suppose a better convention for "ICat | IDog" is difficult though. "ICat /\ IDog" for intersection and "ICat \/ IDog" for union doesn't roll off the tongue.

> Dunning Krueger is precisely about the surprising result that people are bad at estimating their performance

Isn't DK about estimating your performance relative to the rest of the population? To do that, you need to not only know your own performance but also everyone else's. To me, guessing the performance of others sounds quite difficult.
"Most people who don’t know piano or figure skating are well aware that they don’t know, and do not rate themselves highly at all. "

I think this case (real_skill = 0, perceived_skill = 0) is maybe a trivial case, and that the bit of truth DK-idea catches is when someone with very little skill considers how much work it would be to get to whatever a 'fully skilled' version would be, they woefully underestimate.

Picture someone in their first summer of mountain biking watching youtube videos of the best guys. Yes, you know you can't jump like they do, or turn as skillfully, but you're getting better each month. However, you still grossly underestimate how hard it is to get to that skill level.

At least it's my personal experience as a thoroughly unskilled!
Well we do have a decent source for fibres in the form of Hemp. The Hemp fibre is longer and stronger than a cotton fibre, but the political favours pulled by the US Cotton growers association in the past has indirectly helped to bring man made fibres like these into play as a cheap alternative source for clothing and covers.

This issue, isnt restricted to clothing made of man made fibres, it will affect the leisure industry because tents & gazebo's are made of nylon and their exposure to the elements degrades them quickly. Footwear, trainers, sneakers watch how the likes of Nike handle this both for consumers and their employees.

Man made fibre's are everywhere and are the next Asbestos scandal, so watch how big business handles this one. The science will be restricted, there might be some private studies commissioned by some big names and the findings kept quiet. I've seen stock market listed supermarkets commission studies, results come back and it all gets hushed up!

> calling something a "null hypothesis" is just an arbitrary label that doesn't affect reality

It does affect your conclusions though.

The choice of null hypothesis in "The DK Effect is Autocorrelation" determined how the random data was generated. The hypothesis is: "nobody has any clue whatsoever how competent they are". The random data was specifically crafted for that hypothesis.

The choice of null hypothesis in this article is: "everyone roughly knows how competent they are". This random data, too, is specifically crafted for the null hypothesis.

So what does this mean? If you pick the a particular null hypothesis then you can try to argue that the DK is a statistical artefact. But it's not, it is an artefact of choosing a particular null hypothesis.

There are valid criticisms of the DK study, though. See this comment for example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31119196

I have my own domain that I used to use for hosting random stuff and my email (nowadays it's just for the email). The email is a catch-all box.

I once got someone and their family's Disney World booking details sent to <theirname>@<mydomain>. It was a real thing, I could click the link and go view their booking at the official website. I have no idea what made that person to type out <mydomain> as their email, the domain is not even close to any publicly hosted email services or any company names. I kept getting more notifications of the upcoming Disney World trip so I ended up disabling that particular address so that those emails bounce.
The time between the first powered heavier-than-air flight of the Wright Flyer to the launch of these airships that can launch and recover planes was 27 years, 7 months, and 22 days. The rate of technological change in the early part of the 20th century was incredible.
Would you be open to have a discussion about FAANG-scale recommender systems? I have a small website that could heavily profit such a recommender system. With 200k daily visitors there should be enough data to train a model, but our current implementation sucks and barely beats random.

> > Can they selectively drop packets

Why not ? From an engineering point of view, with a scarce resource, dropping only the biggest user (Netflix) looks reasonable.

Obviously, it should be illegal to ask money to do not have them dropped.
A lot of people saying author isn't smart/educated enough about the topic, but I kinda agree with him, that they are disappointing. From a "normal" programmers point of view, they are weak and don't really safeguard you well enough out of the box.

Apparently you can install and setup a billion 3rd party libraries in your code editor and a CI pipeline to get a really good workflow, but that just shows that you need to be an expert in order to use these.

Exactly this. It's even worse, distrust of broad scientific consensus is purposefully cultivated to further political and economic goals, and the methods to do so increasingly perfected. This damages our ability as societies to function in a healthy way. Our capacity to navigate hard problems is diminished by the ever decreasing influence of hard science on politics and policy.
> It's possible to use rigorously sound statistics to lie (or at least unknowingly spread falsehoods)

The book "How to lie with statistics" is one of the best statistics textbooks that I have read. It basically makes you immune to misleading stats (charts, tables, everything).

IIRC, the only thing that is missing from the book (it's a really old book) which is very relevant is p-hacking.
"The algorithm" is irredeemable. Its sole purpose is to prolong engagement so they can sneak ads in front of your eyeballs. Open sourcing it would not change its purpose and intended design. The design does not take into account that it can distort users worldview to the point of delusion and hinder or even set back progress of society if enough people are deluded in a group. I left twitter for the sole reason of that I saw a huge group of people feeding their worst tribal tendencies and celebrate the death of a human being. This is the very same mechanisms that has fed into pogroms and other atrocities through out history. "The algorithm" presented me with these celebratory tweets as a recommendation in my feed of only following highly technical people and projects with in software.

You are tired because you spend energy projecting a better way for things to be, not bad in itself, but then you physically tense your body to try to make the projection closer to true. It's unclear why people do this but life gets a lot easier if you learn to notice and stop.
The problem with these sorts of technical limits is that their self imposition turns the exercise into being about overcoming them rather than making a good game. And in turn the recognition of the work is more about the technical achievement than how good the end result is. Games is a really funny one where the whole creative culture has been so soaked in pushing technical limits that now we exist in a period of abundance where limits practically don’t exist so we have to reinvent them. There’s definitely creativity there but it’s somewhat tangential to making games. In the same way many great demosceners ended up working in games but on the technical side of things. I’d argue limits that produce creativity in the games themselves need to be far more conceptual.

> but I don't think sound statistics can mislead.

Of course they can, unless you magically exclude all statistics that made a bad assumption on independence.

I plot all the daily high temperatures and the presence of the ice cream cart and it turns out the ice cream cart causes warmer highs! Solid statistics.

Turns out the guy that has the ice cream cart has a weather app on his phone though and doesn’t come out on forecasted cold days.

There's on-prem which is the original model, and then the newer Datomic Cloud (came about in ~2018) which is installed from AWS Marketplace and billed through AWS. There are some feature differences between them. With on-prem there are free and $$ licensing options. Might be that the on-prem gratis licensing options were more limited before.

Most customers don't expect to sue someone. But the issue here concerns those cases where a lawsuit (or threat of a lawsuit) may be appropriate.

Given how companies really want their customers and employees to switch to binding arbitration, I don't trust binding arbitration as being fair.

Consider the following, from https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/IJCMA-10... :

> Despite the ubiquity of arbitration, consumers rarely use it. Wells
Fargo’s near 3.5 million fraudulent accounts is an illuminating
example. Using mandatory arbitration in its adhesion contracts, Wells
Fargo managed to keep arbitration claims low despite the wide-spread
fraudulent scheme. In reality, Wells Fargo only faced 250 consumer
arbitration claims between 2009 and the first half of 2017 (Economic
Policy Institute, 2017). A similar story exists for AT&T that has the
largest consumer base in its sector with more than 150 million
wireless subscribers, most, if not all, of whom are subject to
arbitration. In the first three months of 2019, only 111 AT&T
customers resolved their disputes with the company in arbitration (AAA
Consumer Report Q1, American Arbitration Association, 2019).

As to the "airing embarrassing stuff in public filings", we also know companies protect their public image. The customer (or their lawyer) may use the threat of a lawsuit, which will make the issue public, as leverage to get the company to resolve the issue.

A confidential arbitration clause removes this form of leverage.

> forcing millions of dollars of legal preparation

Venmo's terms allow taking an issue to small claims. It's only for larger issues - and class action issues - where binding arbitration is required. So of course these are the ones that are more likely to require "millions of dollars of legal preparation."

Just like how Wells Fargo could engage in widespread fraud without worrying about the millions of dollars it would have cost to lose a class action suit.

> the extra eyes don’t hurt

There are fewer eyes in the mandatory arbitration process than in the public court system. The latter is public (more eyes) and has a more extensive appeals system (more eyes).
> processes for the production of wool may entail some impact, independent from the material but related to the sheep.

I suspect this is the massively buried lead here - one so huge and so buried that I'm having a hard time giving you the benefit of the doubt.

The lifecycle of wool itself is probably not at all the major concern. It will not take just a few more sheep to replace the entirety of the global use of polyester and other synthetics.

Livestock are notoriously land-intensive, and the reason behind much of the ongoing ecological devastation of places like the Amazon rainforest. Trying to pass those concerns off as minor considerations after the biodegradability and recyclability of wool is just... incredible.
I have a gmail account and a yahoo account. I consider these my spam accounts for anything that doesn't accept email with a + in the name.

Over a year ago, I noticed that somebody's paypal was set to my gmail account. They had also used my account for payments to Donald Trump (I was getting hilariously desperate and pleading messages for more donations) Banggood, and Amigo Loans (as guarantor)

I was able to get information about different addresses they have lived (Ireland - not sure how many Trump supporters live in Ireland, which was weird), what other email addresses they had, etc.

In the end, I logged into their paypal (surprisingly easy) and changed their email address to the correct email address, and emailed them their new password.

I still get the odd one-off email from other places, such as a damp report for a property in Hemel Hempstead, but at least I haven't had any more paypal messages. I sometimes wonder about the legality of what I did - obviously I did nothing malicious, but I suspect it contravenes the letter of at least one law. But the thought of being made in some way responsible for the security of someone else's finances filled me with dread.
I don't want to sound like the bad guy here who defends corporate, but I kind of feel like OP and a lot of comments are missing the point. Which is: large business organizations are complex social structures. You can't have a complex social structure without a lot of communication going on. Of course there are zounds of different ways to communicate with each other and if you (and your colleagues) feel like certain meetings are just a waste of time and have no benefit whatsoever, there is something wrong with the org's culture.

I happen to manage approx 20 people in a ~500 person org. Everyone gets a chance to decide if they want to focus on becoming a social animal and growing in the org (which results in more meetings, more emails, more chats, etc.) or just concentrate on the technical stuff. The latter is perfectly fine for me as I am aware that these people still produce huge amounts of value to the company. However they are not party to some decision loops and are often on the receiving end of architecture and design decisions. Most of them start to complain about that sooner or later, so I ask them to start participating in more meetings... Once being able to put all that into perspective, most of them don't complain about it anymore.

So long story short - most of the time you can't have it both ways in a large(-ish) organization. You can either be the guy who digs a hole every day and someone tells him where. Or you can be the guy who decides where to dig the holes but only get to dig a more moderate amount of holes yourself.
> Even if we take for granted that (contrary to all conventional medical wisdom) keto is the only way someone like you could live healthily, this simply has no impact whatsoever on the OP claim that red meat is bad for the environment and not necessary for the overwhelming majority of people to be eating.

I agree. People are indeed mixing up 3 things that are only loosely related:

1. What is healthier.

2. What will cause you to lose weight (which is related to 1, but not exactly the same).

3. What is better for the planet.

The three are different goals, which might or might not be opposed to each other.
