Is there a different post where they used this date format?

None of their other incident reports even have a date in the title. Yet this one does, and in a weird format. Maybe there's something novel about the date, and it's written this was to emphasize the novelty, not to provide some vital information that happens to be excluded on every other incident report title they've posted.
sorry about that! It's in my list of stories pretty high up so hopefully it'll be there soon. Thanks for checking it out!
One thing is laws, the other is "understanding [of free speech]". My comment was about the latter.
Well if there was any question whether the EU was more focused on personal data protections or kneecapping U.S. tech companies, this answers it. The reason Google and MS want to get their own browsers onto iOS is to get around the data collecting restrictions built into Safari. This will be a net negative for the personal data privacy of EU citizens. But hey, screw Apple right?

hmmm

>>The Supreme Court has, however, found that the among the restrictions imposed on the Statss by the 14th Amendment

So then, technically, yes it does apply.

>But that doesn’t make California and federal law identical,

Exactly, CA can only allow MORE speech, it CAN NOT have a more restrictive speech law than is allowed by the 1st amendment, which is pretty expansive prohibiting only actual defamation and true threats.

Doesn't routine make you better at things?

(And since everybody is now going to share war stories... When I worked at Con-way, now XPO Logistics, they had the pop-tart incident, where a kitchen mishap triggered fire regulations that mandated the data center be taken down, and since they had absolutely *zero* routine in restarting their data center, folks got to debug the backup plans in real-time, until two weeks later all service had been restored. Kind of. Me suggesting we should test this more often was only perceived as a joke in bad taste. I thought it was a swell idea, since our Sundays were scheduled downtime anyway. Yep, the whole day. Every one or two weeks. Suffice to say, it wasn't a very long stint.)

What a rich essay. Not sure why Bayes features in the title (and opens
a distracting garden path into discussions of statistics), as the
actual discussion is deeper, regarding the use of knowledge of the
past to constructing "knowledge" of the future and how these are
really two different epistemologies.

Rather oddly I found it connected a lot with another post from today,
"Why Pessimism Sounds Smart"

Deutsch says; "In the 20th century, there was a sort of congealing of
the intellectual climate into a very rigid pessimism, so that a
prediction or prophecy could only be taken seriously if it was
negative."

If he unpacks this, it's in earlier statements about the faults of
induction and the lack of wonder, faith, possibility and sheer
mischief that a scientific method occludes if it admits strong
theories and builds a probability cone of worlds that extrapolate from
them.

I guess, as I was trying to say in the other thread, that Deutsch calls
"epitome of the wrong theory", that we've used technology to create a
set of distorting optics that stop us seeing optimistic interpretations
all around us. How do we get out of that parochialism of the present?
Embrace radical falliblism and entertain the idea that against all
probability you, I and all the smartest people we know might be
hopelessly wrong - and that that's a good thing?
There are many features I want to build that I think will be compelling for people both on the main site and on their own sites.
"Fears of Peak Oil and other resource shortages follow this pattern. Predictions of shortages are typically based on “proven reserves.” We are saved from shortage by the unproven and even the unknown reserves, and the new technologies that make them profitable to extract. Or, when certain resources really do run out, we are saved economically by new technologies that use different resources"

So by this reasoning, it's really unfortunate that peak oil didn't occur when predicted because we probably would have been saved by something even cleaner and better if it had.
> I prefer Github's method of "git commit messages don't matter, pull requests do".

This is a bad idea unless it works well for your specific company workflows and you don't care about the future possibility of changing platforms.

Git repos are designed to be self contained, decentralised, and offline-first. If you only care about how things look on github, then the repo will have poor usability outside of github - ie. on your workstation, in your local git tools, on a repo mirror, etc.

Git commits can be a powerful tool for understanding code if the messages are useful. They are immediately accessible through local tools and can quickly add context to a block of code without breaking immersion. But that immersion is broken as soon as you hit a commit messages like "Merge pull request #123" or "fix bugs".
There’s social reasons for all those things.
Not sure why downvoted, this is the "correct" way. Can also do --autosquash etc. at the same time.
Update: issue appears to be fixed now.
Robert E. Lee was indicted for treason, but the nation favored reconciliation over retribution, and the treason of the South was ignored by the country as a whole. Lee's prosecution was later dropped. If Johnson had gotten his way and prosecuted the leaders of the South, the US' feelings towards Lee today might be different.
Yes, I've TOF's blog posts before. TOF's perspective is one that I've encounter many times before. You mostly find it in some very conservative Catholic circles.

If I was being generous, I would say that TOF was pushing back against the overwrought hagiography that often surrounds Galileo and his confrontation with the Church. It's true that the common story is an over simplified account and there are some persistent myths that have worked their way into the story over the years into in order to make Galileo look more heroic and the Church more villainous than they either actually was. The real story is a bit complicated.

But the Church really did ban heliocentrism and it really did punish Galileo for arguing for it. That's not in question. I feel that TOF's argument otherwise rests on a deliberate misrepresentation.

TOF's argument the Church was actually just smartly waiting for proof before it changed it's doctrines is a bit rich in that Galileo offered proof and was punished for it. Now, Galileo's proof was bad, but that's not why he was punished. If it was, the Inquisitors would have mentioned that and not simply accused him of heresy for arguing that the Sun stood still. Not to mention that this whole idea rests on the bizarre notion that science works best when you silence debate until proof can be provided

Ironically, that whole argument stems from a quote from Robert Bellarmine's letter to Foscarini, where he admits that Galileo has a point about not interpreting scripture in a way that is provably false. In that quote, Bellarmine isn't saying that the Church is waiting for proof, he's saying that while proof would force him to change his mind, he doesn't think such proof is possible so he may as well go ahead and ban Copenicanism anyway. It's real obvious if you read the very next sentence that TOF for some reason doesn't quote:

> I add that the one who wrote, "The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose," was Solomon. who not only spoke inspired by God, but was a man above all others wise and learned in the human sciences and in the knowledge of created things; he received all this wisdom from God; therefore it is not likely that he was affirming something that was contrary to truth already demonstrated or capable of being demonstrated.

In other words, he doesn't believe that Galileo or anybody else will be able to find proof that the sun stays still because that would contradict what he already believes based on his reading of the Bible!

So no, TOF is misrepresenting the stance of the Church in 1616. A lot of people repeat this because it looks like a clever debunking of a common myth, but it's actually more of bunking in that he inserts a lot of detail in order to disguise some blatant misrepresentation.
Thank you! We’ll definitely look into Smart Friends.

We do want to support industrial and commercial use cases eventually, but they’re further out on our roadmap. The dashboard right now is optimized for the consumer use case. It would need some adjustments for industrial use cases, e.g. good visual representation of interactions with a large number of devices.
I agree that the European format is probably not more useful, and you probably convinced me to go change my settings to YYYY-MM-DD. But I _do_ think that the European format makes more _sense_, it being in chronological "magnitude" order.

>The argument on Lee not being a traitor is bad and you should feel bad for making it.

The argument that it is some sort of obvious black and white issue is horse shit you should feel bad about your ignorance of history. Lee's decision to serve for the confederacy was not morally cut and clear either way at the time. He was both obligated to serve the federal government and obligated to serve his home state. This was obvious to even casual observers and was the subject of much speculation at the time.

To make a comparison that innumerable people seven score and thirteen years ago made, George Washington took half a dozen oaths to serve the crown over the course of his military service prior to the American Revolution yet when his people chose to declare independence he fought on their side.
There are no mistakes in my thinking or writing. You made incorrect assumptions, which are well-outlined in your writing, and then ran with them, which is funny because that’s what you accused me of.

Are we going to keep going, or should we just stop?
Not sure either-or is the best way to frame things. Economic ties are clearly having a moderating effect both between the U.S.-China and even, at this very moment, Europe-Russia. Seems the problem is better framed as one of timing, calibration, and optimization.

All of this conflict doesn't disprove the thesis that economic ties moderate conflict. It might disprove the thesis that economic ties prevent conflict, but that's a straw man. The only actual thesis of that sort was that democracies don't go to war, and one of the proposed, non-exclusive mechanisms was their tendency toward deep economic interdependencies. AFAIK nobody, not even Bill Clinton, presumed that economic ties were alone sufficient to guarantee peace with China and Russia, nor sufficient to induce comprehensive political democratization. Here's Clinton recently recounting in his own words his reasoning wrt Russia: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/04/bill-clint...

Notably, none of the pyramids have hieroglyphs in them. Or any evidence anybody was ever interred in them. And none of the trash always left behind by grave robbers.

Except one: They found a skeleton of a woman inside (one that is assumed to be) one of the older ones, with none of what they call "grave goods". Much more is still unknown about the pyramids than is known.
That's a phishing email and for sure not from Metamask. They normally get your email from some crypto-related service database leak, in my case at least.
The pins would have to be fairly far apart to not be affected by each others' magnets I think. Also, this would be pretty easy to 'brute force' with a special key with some electromagnet coils. With physical tumblers this is much harder to do, work all the small moving parts (though I believe such tools are now also possible)

After all, even a physical lock is just a combination lock. The combination is just 'encoded' in a metal strip. Or in the above case, with magnets. And it's still possible to copy the key by reading it.

Better to use a digital key with asymmetric encryption. Using that you can prove you have a private key without actually giving up the information needed to fabricate a copy.

While that sort of assistance is undoubtedly useful, it doesn't rise to the level of military action that justifies retaliatory strikes.

It's also something that has established precedent in the proxy conflicts I mentioned before, with the USSR and US both in turn providing strategic and in some cases tactical intelligence to the other side. As long as the aircraft gathering the intelligence aren't flying inside the battle zone.
I don’t understand this ‘wealthy people can take the risk’ meme.

It applies to fine artists, but startups often have some sort of funding.

If you have funding, your personal risk is mitigated quite a bit. I don’t see why you would have to be independently wealthy to do a startup.

If you do a side project or consulting work, you can generally get started in your free time and migrate to it full time when it is already profitable. Still don’t see how this is an unacceptable level of risk.

If you don’t have the ability to code or raise money, then you wouldn’t be even in the discussion about Silicon Valley optimism. So …

Looking to build a group of like-minded founders for mutual success
My name is Mark Amberg, Co-founder of Craspa, restaurant tech. I was watching an interview with Mr.Beast speaking on the success of content creators and he mention that a lot of successful content creators have 1 thing in common which is collaboration. However, to my knowledge, there aren't many places, for founders to group meet or find other founders that aren't well established. This is why I want to start a founders group of around 8 founders in the B2B space to collaborate with and grow.

If you or know someone interested in weekly/bi-weekly zoom group meetings, focusing on growth, accountability, bouncing ideas/tactics, and overall growth together, please drop your company's website and I'll check it out and reach out to you.

Must be no funding to no more than series A funding and have a working and market-ready product.

Many high schools offer mathematics through Calculus. You can typically get to that course at the regular high school pace if you were able to take Algebra 1 in 8th grade. If you were ahead of that pace, then you are typically left with few options outside of taking college courses.
ok, sure they could? I don't get your point. The entry point to buy a mechanical watch isn't $500k USD. I have a 1860s mechanical pocket watch that I purchased for $60.
My lack of success in that math program was due to a "bad experience" (I chuckled a little at that phrasing). The fallout of which had social implications, made me entirely disinterested (if not hostile?) to maths, and followed me for years. Point being, separating our classes had little to nil positive impact (for me) in the long run, and the decision of which class I was in failed to address the foundational problems with the class. The latter bit being the most important; in my case it was an abusive teacher with an anger problem, but there's also a good chance that nobody actually sucks at math but that we teach it from a perspective that only a subset of the population will ever relate to or meaningfully learn from. I guess what I'd like to see is some reproducible results showing that giving gifted kids their own course program and separating them from their cohorts actually has a long term benefit when compared to keeping them all together.

Edit:

To make what I'm saying a bit more clear: There's a ton of people in these threads assuming that not everybody is born with math skills (or variants of that attitude). That is exactly what these teachers thought and how different my life would've been had I agreed.

Not at all. It's about time someone did something about Safari. If Microsoft preinstalling IE was bad, Apple's mandating Safari as the only browser ever is worse. Both leveraged their position in a situation to gain dominance in e different situation.

Also, Chrome domination is just as bad as IE domination, but it came about differently.
You have a hypothesis h = "it's raining somewhere in England" and evidence e = "it's raining in London". You have an empirical theory that e implies h, which may or may not be true depending on whether London is in England in your universe, but you don't know which universe you live in. There are also universes where London is not in England but your theory is still true for some complicated meteorological reasons that are unknown.

For all h and e, you can always write (using C bitwise operations to denote logic) h = (h | ~e) & (h | e). The second factor (h | e) is the part which logically follows from the evidence, that is, it is true in all universes in which e is true. The first factor is the part that is not logically implied by the evidence, that is, there are universes where it is raining in London and yet h is false because London is not in England.

Now the real question: somebody tells you that it is raining in London, so your credence in e goes up. What happens to the probability of (h | ~e)? It should go down, because as e becomes "more true", ~e becomes "more false", and thus (h | ~e) becomes more false in the sense that there are fewer worlds where (h | ~e) is true.

But (h | ~e) is the same as "e implies h", which is your empirical theory. So your belief in the theory should go down as you gather more evidence. Another way to say it is that, as the evidence becomes stronger, the part logically implied by e becomes more likely, and whatever remains (h | ~e) becomes a smaller set of possibilities, so it is less likely.

Note that your belief in (h | ~e) goes down, but your belief in h goes up. I think Deutsch's criticism is that people confuse the two, and they think that evidence increases the credence in the theory instead of the hypothesis.
That is absolutely not what a traitor is.
