Privilege bias is a bias that means you find it difficult to understand the position of those that are not in the privileged class.

I've been a cyclist for a lot longer than I've been a driver and I've lived in or around Cambridge for a long time and been personally affected by everything we've been talking about from all perspectives.

I am not "privileged" or unable to understand your position. I just don't agree with your conclusions for the reasons I've described in the comments above.

Cambridge has had very little impactful effort towards reducing car usage, hoping they can sidestep the difficult reality of having to reduce cars through a stick approach. Until that's done, there's no chance the buses will do much since as you don't quite point out, they're just stuck in the same traffic. They're still hoping to avoid reality by building special roads for buses and a few parking spaces outside the city.

It is unclear that a congestion charge would be effective in causing sustained modal shift in Cambridge, not least because it is unclear whether any council that voted for one would survive the following election. Prominent local councillors have been advocating more aggressive anti-car measures for years but so far despite the supportive rhetoric no council has passed them. Ask yourself why.

It is clear that buses can't be the main solution to traffic problems in Cambridge. The council has spent a lot of money over the years on research that explained to them exactly why, which has mysteriously been largely ignored, perhaps because it didn't give the "right" answer. But if you know anything about the mathematics of traffic modelling you can quickly convince yourself. Just try to find any viable location near the city centre for a central bus hub that could accommodate a significant multiple of the current bus traffic levels without causing gridlock in the surrounding streets.

Ironically the Park and Ride schemes that you casually dismissed have been one of the few clear successes in Cambridge transport in recent years, taking thousands of cars off the roads in the city centre.

For sure cycling provision is substandard. You have no arguments from me there!

I'm glad that we can agree on this. If the local authorities had spent a fraction of the money they've spent on pro-bus measures on pro-cycling measures instead, we might have been in a much better situation in this area today.

Totally agree, I would love for data scientists to use types and a lot of other good practices. I work primarily in mlops and have been trying to do this for some time, it just mostly feels like a losing game.

The output of most analytics is a report. For longer lived processes it seems easier to just hand off

I know that they aren't magical. But the intent is to present engaging content to you so you stick around longer so you can be datamined and targeted with sponsored content. The issue I take with it is that there is a consequence almost of philosophical dimension of free will. There is societal and social cost of that particular business model that relies on driving engagement to present ads because it lacks the dimensions that are harmful.

There are similar algorithms driving advertisement and one of the ads that has been targeted at me lately is a nicotine source two years after I kicked my nicotine habit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snus The intention is clear, to make me pick it up again. Given this is simply a personal anecdote but it is eerily accurate sometimes.
> Nearly everyone would be a better citizen if they swapped 95% of the time the spend on the news for reading classics and textbooks in political science, economics, and history.

I hear that said a lot, but I doubt it, at least not with those proportions. Those things offer important perspective, but to put it bluntly: George Washington isn't running for president anymore and slavery has been abolished for more than a century. The past is the past and this is the present: there are some commonalities but also a lot of important differences.

To be a "better citizen," you need pretty deep knowledge of current events. That takes a lot of time, because a lot is going on and it's often more informative to follow a story than just read a summary once it's over. Think of it this way: an investor will lose his shirt if he spends 95% of his time reading classic investment books and only 5% actually researching businesses. Being a citizen is similar.

Also, one of the nice things about the news is it exposes you more to the rough edges and uncertainty of the present, rather than smoothing that over with theory and narratives (that can be thoroughly curve-fitted to the past, so as not to jar you with their wrongness).

Earth Reviews
Agree 100% (as an IC-turned-manager myself).

5 years ago, I exercised my privilege (as an IC with a lenient boss), to work from another state for a few months.

During that time, I dialed into meetings that were otherwise held in person.

My experience:

- Nobody remembered to ask me for my opinion, so I was constantly interrupting

- Often, people just forgot to open the telcon, so I was ignored on hold

- Often, people forgot to present the slides / visuals over telcon as well as the projector, so I had to interrupt them and cause 5 minute delays

- Whiteboard designs? Flat out of scope

- Try pitching ideas over the phone to a room full of stakeholders. They treat you like a spam caller

A project I was leading for a new design was "killed" and "revived" with exactly the same team, but another (onsite) person swapped out for my role. That person is now in charge of the project, and it's a big, big deal, with attention all the way up to Washington. His career is skyrocketing because of this.

Working hybrid may not be a scam in and of itself, but I suspect someone with 10+ years experience managing recognizes that all remote, or all in person, are both tenable solutions, but hybrid will cause a separate-and-not-equal workforce schism.

Well, it’s quite a departure. rg builds on grep’s foundation and is a good CLI citizen, and ugrep offers a TUI and bells and whistles and a whole DSL to filter out files and run iconv on them… I’m unsure. It’s like giving me a car because I need a reading light. Would disrupt my usual workflows, while rg just displaced grep organically.

I’m quite wary of jq for the reason that usually I don’t need it often enough to learn its language. That would be another piece of software like this.

LTTR/INK – Draw strokes with skeletons and brushes
I don't know how to phrase this nicely, but this is precisely the type of Hacker News nerd-blindness that I find amazing. It's "easier"? Is it? For young children who want to watch their kids shows and don't know what 4k means? For grandparents who want to see some k-dramas and have no clue about DRM or geo-locked? Sure, Netflix has issues and it's made some bad decisions, but let's not delude ourselves here. The group of people who are comfortable pirating media and find it "easier" than Netflix is at least an order of magnitude smaller than Netflix's user base.

I'm sorry, I just find it really absurd when people claim something is easier when it's just not. Perhaps you find it to be a better trade off, but it is not easier.
I used to feel similarly about audio but have figured out the right settings for acceleration (1.2-1.4x) and silence trimming in pocketcasts to increase the informational content and keep it interesting - it works for me now. (that and finding the most interesting content for me)
What you call mismanagement is an inevitability that no amount of "proper management" can solve. If the private sector runs a surplus, the public sector must run a deficit. It's that simple.

It's not stealing, it's copyright infringement, and it's an act of protest. I paid for Netflix for years when the streaming catalog was good, but now the streaming video market feels like an anti-consumer predatory cash grab.
> I don't think there's any obligation to keep up with events on the other side of the world

Things that happen across the world affect us here too. Maybe your friends have family in Ukraine or are from there. I have students who are Ukrainian. Currently Ukrainians are leaving their homeland as refugees and resettling all around the world. They could be moving in down the street and will be your neighbors! Knowing what's happening around the world allows one to be empathetic to the situations of others.
It’s only similar if you do not think global annihilation being a meaningful risk factor blows up all your priors comparatively. I do.

Net Neutrality is the greatest example of two sides that want the same outcome but can't get past their petty differences.

The only reason Republicans want this blocked is because they see the writing on the wall when the state gets totalitarian control over communication (oddly enough, playing out right now in Russia).

Democrats don't want to do deal with the Monopolistic behavior of ISPs, which is just an alternate version of totalitarian control.

The common solution to appease both sides: break up the fucking monopolies into small township sized chunks. Both sides would support it. Why this is so hard?
Ahh, but “buying” streamed content is a fool’s purchase. If the streamer loses the rights to film you “purchased”, you lose your purchase. This happened a few years ago with Disney content on Amazon.

This is an increasingly difficult concept to escape when you’re in certain career positions. Are you sure that this doesn’t matter if you’re a new, unestablished cultural commentator, fashion designer, model, journalist, politician, union organizer, musician, artist, or marketer?

(Please note how I said new, unestablished. People who already have platforms and influence before obviously don’t need what social media offers.)
Seems like mostly a pointless change and it will break some software. Most developers never read the docs. There is always a question about how much rope you should give the users but in these cases my experience tells me that even if the docs clearly state something users will rely on real world results, not the docs. Especially if the development is test driven or if testing is done mainly with automatic tests. I would expect better decisions from the GO team. This is a poor decision not in line with the promises of GO. What did you have to do to not make a breaking change? Add something new and mark the old obsolete?

Damn cool algorithm though.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this.

I originally had generic tags that people could add but no one would ever add a unique tag. It just kept on pushing the suggestions more into the realm of the mediocre rather than into the realm of unique and interesting.

I'm still trying to find ways with the UX to convey "With this design it's not possible for the app to harvest your data".

I think all of us are DONE with tracking and ads. But giving a recommendation is almost impossible without asking about the context and using continual refinement.

I'm a solid middle generation GenX. I rarely watch cable news anymore. When I was younger and had actual cable, I'd channel surf and often end up on one of the news stations if nothing else was on. I still have access to the same channels through YoutubeTV but it's far less conducive to channel surfing, so now if there's nothing on I want to watch, I turn off the TV or pop over to Netflix or whatever.

The old habits are pretty much gone.
"the blue bus travels over denmark"
rnd0, April 2022. Also gibberish.

I mean, as long as we're going to be spewing content-free sentences I might as well get mine in.

"Woke" isn't a useful term because today in 2022 it basically means "anything a conservative doesn't like". "Woke mind virus" is particularly egregious -that's pure hyperbole without even a pretense of meaning.

The problem with Netflix in the main isn't that they show too many people who are white, or show two many people who are LGBTQ+. The problem with Netflix IN THE MAIN is that they are cracking down on a subscription policy no one wants while increasing prices beyond what people believe are reasonable while at the same time hemmoraging content. It doesn't help that they have demonstrated over the last decade that you cannot rely on their own content to actually tell a full story (because it will get cancelled prematurely).

None of that has anything to do with the "woke" bugbear -it would be equally true if Netflix's political stance matched OAN.
Ted Nelson's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheTedNelson

It's also worth looking at: https://www.youtube.com/user/yoshikiohshima. There's a goldmine of talks by people like Alan Kay and Seymour Papert. An important question to ask when, "probing" the literature-- why are computers the way they are in terms of human-computer interaction and human culture? What is a, "computer" without making an appeal to mathematical concepts like Turing Machines/Lambda Calculus? What are the major, "paradigm shifts" that gave us GUIs, mice, ect...?

It's worth noting that the history of popular computers parallels almost exactly the neoliberal economic period. Atari was founded in 1972. Look into the Mansfield Amendment and ARPA. Try to get past a cultural myth that computer companies started in, "normal" people's garages. Try to see past the, "present concept." Alan Kay has famously said, "The computer revolution hasn't happened yet." It's up to the current/future generations to, "really" define what computers are in terms of human culture. Think, "living history." Think, "world before-after the invention of the Gutenberg printing press."

Yes, this very much bothers me. You pay for streaming. How many streams do you want? Well, pay Netflix for that number. However you like to use those streams is up to you.

Yes, the coins were heavily debased during this period, which was one of the main causes of the collapse of the Roman Economy during this period. The Antoninianus coin went from around 40% silver to less than 5% silver in a thirty period from the 240's until the 270's. A great number them were minted in the later time period.
A better way to look at it is if you went to the store and took pictures of the food and shared those pics with friends.

That only makes sense if they derive value from people being in the office. Otherwise there is nothing lost by simply leaving the office empty.

> I'd say avoiding death is about as likely as overtaking the speed of light.

I don't think the two are comparable. Overtaking the speed of light is impossible according to our current understanding of physics.

Death on the other hand seems to be due to defects in our bodies (and most living organisms) - nature just hasn't "planned" for them to function for so long and pretty much cut corners. Those defects might be hard to fix with our current technology and/or understanding of medicine, but they're not proven to be impossible. In fact unlike the speed of light, "death" isn't even a single specific event where someone's brain just quits for good but is due to a variety of factors, some of which we can already control and resolve (it used to be that cardiac arrest is guaranteed death, nowadays it's no longer a certainty).

In addition, there are many different ways of "solving death". Even if we assume that any living body must die because of some unbreakable law of physics, if we could move someone's consciousness to a new body (or a "virtual machine" in a computer) we've effectively solved the problem anyway.

The reason these companies keep faltering is that they push cloud-based and/or locked in product ecosystems. Then they are either forced to a) operate on a pyramid scheme where new customers finance the ongoing costs of existing users or b) a subscription model that gives them a strong incentive to keep customers as locked into their ecosystem as possible. Either of these leave customers high and dry when the house of cards finally collapses, and since the products are cloud based (especially in case B where a lot of companies force you into cloud only access) your devices become bricks.

I'm not sure Matter is going to solve this because it doesn't do away with this business model. Zigbee and Zwave have been great options for ages that offer a lot of the same benefits with respect to local control and portability (as does Homekit to an extent), but people continue to buy into closed ecosystems like Insteon and then get burned. Of course companies like Wink and SmartThings have managed to build cloud lock in on top of Zigbee and Zwave, I can see Matter helping with that part of the issue if we can get interoperability at the controller level.

I guess the point is that it's not related to the person's income. For someone on minimum wage, the £15 congestion charge prevents them using the car. For a high-earned, it's just a fee to pay as you continue to drive in London.
"...larger companies probably should be paying someone to regularly scrape these criminal bot services, even buying back their own employee credentials to take those vulnerable systems off the market. Because that’s probably the simplest and cheapest incident response money can buy."

Krebs makes a very good point in the last paragraph. Way way way cheaper than paying ransoms.
I was speaking to why they rushed the launch. CNN+ being intrinsically bad as a service and/or a terrible fit for their built-in market can also be true, and the two reinforce each other:

This is 100% unadulterated speculation on my part, but if the executives still in charge of CNN+ thought it had problems, they'd be doubly fearful of the axe coming down when the business was reviewed, so they may have been motivated to get it launched whether they were ready to launch or not.

If they had no fear of a business review and possible cancellation, they might have decided to delay the launch and try to fix the content/market problems.
You'd probably lose.

The thing they get you on with BitTorrent isn't the download part, it's the seeding part, where you're distributing the copyrighted content to other downloaders.

You could turn off seeding, but that'll get you banned from a lot of torrent sites, and it's not a technical distinction I'd want to have to explain in court to lay people.
