Most things in medicine are like this. There's a normal range of some trait, and then there are the extremes which have known pathologies.

Take blood pressure for example, you can be "on the higher end of normal" without having "high blood pressure". Personality traits are of course harder to define and measure, but it seems to be the same principle.

It's partly statistics ("this person is an outlier") and partly effects ("this condition is causing problems for the patient, such that the benefits of medical intervention xyz would outweigh the costs/risks").
It's orthogonal.

Usb A is a host side connection
Usb B (normal/mini/micro) is a client side connector
Usb C is a 2 way connector.

Each of them can be implemented for each USB version, except USB C came later and makes no sense befor USB 3.

Then USB versions added features, signalling conventions and wires. But the USB A and B connector are backward compatible all the way to USB 1.0 1.5Mbit/s
Just a note: being able to click yourself a server at Google, AWS etc. Might be cheap enough even paying for 15tb of traffic.
I don't deny that, each country has done or has the capacity to commit atrocities. Some just do it less.

The third option isn't a fallacy if you are looking it from the perspective of that individual researcher who lives in a country that seeks to develop those weapons because its rivals are also developing them. They are thinking for their own safety and the safety for the people around them who live in that country.
Would you do nothing if you know your efforts could potentially shield the people you love from harm?
Or would you help build the system knowing that they might get misused, in the hopes that it at least protects you and the people dear to you?

No offence, everyone is the same in the United States. You talk of left and right but you're both playing the same ball game. I'm from the American South and I lived in Europe for four years with the rest in the Northeast US, so I do actually know. Just because people pick the different color team doesn't make them different than you.

The same unstable people in New York go hard left and the same unstable people in Mississippi go hard right... and the issues just don't matter. Identity politics are some random anti-boomer gotcha thing. Abortion isn't even a subject unless you're Roman Catholic because it's never mentioned in the New Testament... and uh, abortion is legal in Italy by the way. It's the lowest brow, dumbest nonsense you could ever imagine when you come back from living in the real world.

Ever heard of a different language? What about a dialect? How many dialects are there in, say, the Netherlands? Hundreds are commonly spoken, and they are not mutually intelligible. Histories thousands of years old, deep cultural divisions, and we're "the same"? Lol, read a textbook. Hop on a plane, please. For the love of god
Hey, I am Soren, one of the founders of Mineiros the company that invented Terramate. We've built Terramate because we needed a better solution for managing Terraform on scale. Hope you guys will love it, and if you don't we want to know why!
This was my first thought too. Another think I like to do, is to limit the loop to say one page or 10 entries and check after each run that it was correctly executed. It makes it a half-automated task, but saves time in the long run.
"I forgive people for not knowing. The worst mod abuses are hard to see. When you reveal them, the behavior disappears"

Right, we're (a) not training people properly and a young enough age and (b) we're not telling them the truth - so they end up cynical or misinformed or both.

Haven't read Pomerantsev but his background would give him great insight. Similarly, Chomsky's works are full of it - here's just one: Manufacturing Consent, etc.:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_Consent. Trouble is, Chomsky is heavy going for the average person, it's dense and almost turgid, it's got all the good oil if one is prepared to mine his books for it. (I actually met him once on a lecture tour 20-plus years ago - he's much easier to understand in person than from reading his books).

We need to get simple versions of these ideas out to the population at large but it's always proven difficult.

The issue of course is that for quite some time we've pretty much an overview of what the problems are but we don't have the same power resources to implement them as does the 'Establishment'. (Again, there's no doubt that we know the facts: Pomerantsev, Chomsky et al have documented this stuff ad nauseam—latest developments, social media etc. only add nuance to the basic facts—the problem is that we've failed to implement the fixes.)

"It isn't enough to mark news as fake. Some people won't believe you. But when you start to show what is removed"

Right again, but this takes training (and it can be slow) if it's to be done well. It comes back to what I was saying above about training. One doesn't start training a six-year-old with fake news (although that's difficult not to do these days), rather you train basic logic such as arguments have subjects and predicates or otherwise they make little sense, and to understand simple fallibility tests, false/contradictory statements, etc. such as 'All swans are white' and 'Western Australia has black swans'. Even very young kids can quickly see that just one exception—even if it's on the other side of the planet—makes the first statement false.

In essence, kids need to develop good bullshit filters at a young age. As they grow older, they'll learn to fine tune and better filter what they hear.

What concerns me is that this sort of training isn't done as a matter of course. (I suppose I was luckier than many, it was taught at my primary school.)
I view it as intentional, it drives the point home by showing how many steps you'd have to deal with if you went through the process.
A domain-based structure for software engineering teams
I don't disagree at all with you pointing out the plight of families and children less privileged than OP (where I am, there is now a steady stream of truly awful stories about what happened to young children during lockdown when the monitoring and intervention of society as a whole, and social services in particular, is suddenly and completely removed).

>economies with little or non-existent safety nets (see UK and US)

However, as a resident of the UK, I have to ask - how does it have a non-existent safety net?
Fair point. I define daily driver as having a device that does not crash for light duty operation, allows for sending/receiving of phone calls, text/sms mesaaging, using a small number of heavy apps like Element (for matrix), email client, light web browsing, light use of maps, taking photos, listening to (mostly offline but a tiny bit of online) music.
A lot of VR lately. I got a Quest 2 not too long ago. Haven't really messed with VR since the Virtual Boy, so it's been quite the education how far VR has come since.

A lot of what I keep going back to for it is Beat Saber, Ragnarock (Viking drumming game, reminds me of when I played Timpani in band back in high school, I even had four drums like the game does), Puzzling Places (putting together a 3D puzzle, works super well in VR), Lone Echo, Half Life Alyx.

It quickly made me change my plans for a video game I'm working on in my spare time, and now I'm planning to add VR support to it. Always kind of wanted to anyway, but it was more of a "well, maybe someday". It's a higher priority now.
IMO the cause is negative news sell best combined with social media and their algorithms. Maybe we need to change the news culture altogether? Why focus always on the bad stuff?

Their parents experienced multiple, poverty is the actual trickle down economics. Middle class is the new living paycheck to paycheck having to do without insurance and requiring two individuals to do anything. Yet government thinks it's too much money and won't cover education costs and even if they did universities are ever more irrelevant and filled with money and politics just the same as Congress.
They used to share the salary for every role but it’s gone private since. I’m guessing competitors were using it to put bid them.
But it is not math - we only have empirical evidence and not even much from that.

Who is to tell whether the OSI model is ideal? It is more than likely not it, but we can’t measure these things up front, there is an insane cost associated with changing it, etc. Yet again, what is the alternative? We can’t manage complexity any other way, and essential complexity can’t be reduced.

Just how much do you have to hate consumers to come up with a scheme like this? Increment revisions as you add more features, add something to the end to say how fast it goes. The 3.2 renaming is idiotic.
Elon Musk secures over $7Bn in funding from investors including Larry Ellison
Social media can be blamed in the sense of giving people too much choice / competition and such, but yes, the key problem is people trying to tackle this from an angle which seeks to invalidate people's feelings rather than look if things are heading into the wrong direction.

Yes, war sucks. Famine sucks. All of that sucks and can make people just as hopeless. The premise is the same as the one now: people don't feel in power of their own future, incapable of getting what they want. A large crowd will immediately retaliate "but your demands are too high!" Really, most people's desires would've been considered pretty normal a few decades ago. Their parents and grandparents had an active role instilling those desires into them.

Here's a mental exercise for people. Imagine the following guarantees: A partner who won't leave you as long as you keep your stuff together and will actively support you (and expects the same in return, obviously). A home where you could raise a kid, maybe two, each with a separate, small bed room, a separate kitchen and a living + dining room combo. An average career (average salary, nothing too glorious). Life up to 75 and a retirement by age 60. You can fill in the specifics however you want. Most people in their 20s would be just fine having such a life.

The above used to be pretty easily attainable as long as you put in some effort before. Now, the above feels unattainable to a large degree of young adults. Even the ones who did exactly what their parents told them to, are noticeably ahead of their peers in terms of academics and career, and still struggle to get what their parents were able to at the bottom of the ladder, let alone what their gen X / boomer equivalent had. Teenagers are learning these things through both the news and the internet, and want none of it.
The testimony is citing a rise in self-harm and mood disorders in people aged 11-15 between 2009 and 2015. There was not yet a pandemic or inflation and houses were actually reasonably affordable for a while after the market crash. There actually was a recession in 1991 when I was 11, yet somehow I have no memory of being aware of that or ever thinking about it. This is the bigger point about media culpability. If 11 year-olds are really concerned about these things now, why is that? Seemingly, it might have something to do with the 24/7 algorithmic doom scroll feeds they're consuming that didn't exist in 1991. Typically, the starting point for when cooperation broke down and political polarization started dovetailing in the US are the Bork confirmation hearing and Newt Gingrich becoming speaker of the House, both of which happened when I was about these ages, yet again, I was not aware of it back then. The world has always had major issues, but these just were not things that concerned very many 11 year-olds until pretty recently.
Of course they didn't suffer during the Covid lockdowns. Only those who obsessively consumed news and social media suffered.

I see what he wrote for Dershowitz as just as sophomoric as what he said in his own defense later and the books he writes. For me it comes together in a gestalt.

I have a lot of reasons to suspect connections between language and cognition, not least of which is experience with animals and birds which have definite and divergent mental models w/o language. (A female cardinal and a red-breasted grosbeak come to my window. The cardinal believes its reflection is another bird and attacks it for hours unless I am in the room in which case it flies away. The grosbeak catches the eye of its reflection and catches my eye and doesn’t mind even if I am close to the window because it understands the situation.)

Any kind of taking language too seriously winds you up in intellectual wastelands like structuralism and post-structuralism.

Pinker’s theme of “it’s getting better all the time” compares unfavorably to Simon, Petroski and similar writers in the 1970s who were up against Watergate, Patricia Hearst, Disco, etc…

If he took responsibility for something I could forgive him but as it is he’s the #1 public intellectual that makes me want to believe in the Lizardman theory.
Gee, what a surprise. Last time I checked, the oil producing regions of Canada aren’t providing their product to Canada at a discount to help reduce gas prices here. That would reduce their profits, violate fiduciary duty, blah blah blah.
Especially saying no to the latest hyped up technology of the year.
USB-C is a connector type, like USB-A (usually known as the classic USB plug) and USB-B (usually the other side of said plug, a square kind of connector). USB-B had other offspring like miniUSB and microUSB (note that in these cases on the other side of the cable you usually have a USB-A plug).

USB-C is the first time cables have the same connector on both sides, so it obsoletes USB-A and USB-B. But what is sent over USB-C? Can be USB 3 with which it is often conflated because they came around the same time, but it can also be USB 2, so it is a bit hard to tell. But USB 3 can use old style USB-A as well (the blue plugs with the same shape as the classic USB plugs) and USB-C (the microUSB plugs with an extension off to the side).
Related book Stolen Focus by Johann Hari. He argues that the incentives of social media companies are misaligned. Their profits come from advertisers, and that maximising their profit means maximising 'engagement' and screen time, which is detrimental to the users.

Regulation as proposed in OP is acknowledging the problem, but maybe fixing the underlying cause will involve changing the business model.

Consider the following social problem: Society demands a minimum standard of living. Whether that minimum standard of living is forced upon you against your will or whether you agree to it, the problem is that you must be "productive enough" to earn the minimum standard of living yourself. That minimum standard of living appears to grow faster than the opportunities/abilities to meet the minimum standard of living.

In fact, the whole housing problem can be described as forcing a high standard of living upon people through zoning (single family buildings only for example) and it often is against the will of newcomers. The standard of living may be considered desirable but it may not be sustainable for everyone.

The same applies to college. It is better if you go, but it shouldn't hurt if you don't. Somehow it hurts a lot and you are worse off than before even though your actual productivity is the same.

I don't know. Maybe we should call it the productivity paradox (the Solow paradox is poorly named because it isn't even a paradox), because the problem here is that an increase in productivity does not necessarily lead to more wealth for everyone, in fact, it can actually lead to concentration of wealth and therefore be a net reduction of wealth for a big portion of the population.

One of the reasons why the "economy must grow" (every year) is that we concentrate all the unemployment at the bottom of society and all the jobs at the top of society, leading to inequality and eventually unrest. If this misallocation were to be stopped then the productivity paradox would be resolved.
I do this, too, but I also take a count of the expected number of items to be deleted as well. If my collection I'm iterating over doesn't have exactly that number of objects I expect, I don't proceed.

> However, teenagers had a terrible, rotten time during WWII - bombs on cites, constant threat of military service, parents and elder brothers killed in war, one's country being invaded, etc. yet on the whole most never suffered these mental health issues. The difference is striking

> Somehow, they had stamina and resilience that today's teenagers don't have. Many of today's problems I believe go back to over-protection and mollycoddling of kids when they are very young. In the War years a kid was an independent agent by the time he or she was six.

There is a small problem. A survivor bias. You are only counting people that survived WW2. There were plenty of people that didn't survived, that didn't have stamina to do it, that were mentally ill(by itself was a reason for forced euthanasia). People that couldn't deal with the situation, couldn't do anything and just died, one way or another. And yes people committed suicides during WW2. Now we have something called suicide by cops. Just think how much easier it was when you were explicitly hunted.vOr people that outright killed themselves. In the end you only count bullet holes on planes that did return, not ones that failed to do so.

Yes, I find command line tools that have a "--dry-run" flag to be very helpful. If the tool (or script or whatever) is performing some destructive or expensive change, then having the ability to ask "what do you think I want to do?" is great.

Looking it up, citrus is alkaline-forming, not acid-forming, and things that are acidic in their initial form don't necessarily increase system acidity; they may have an alkalizing net impact. Apparently your body's response to food is the important bit.
Yeah, that is what I recommend too.

Instead of performing the dangerous action outright, just log a message to screen (or elsewhere) and watch what is happening.

I was involved with archiving of data that was legally required to be retained for PSD2 compliance. So it was pretty important that the data was correctly archived, but it was just as important that it was properly removed from other places due to data protection.

This is basically the approach that was taken: log before and after every action exactly what data or files is being acted on and how. Don't actually do it. Then have multiple people inspect the logs. Once ok'd, run again, with manual prompts after each log item asking to continue, for the first few files/bits of data. Only after that was ok'd too did it run the remainder.

In other things I've worked on, I've taken the terraform-style plan first, then apply the plan approach, with manual inspection of the plan in between.

Do you think that this type of argument has more value when talking about Drew than about a victim of sexual abuse? I think the rhetoric of "asking for it" works equally poorly when applied to all aspects.

And I will assume that your next comment will be about how the two don't compare. And I am in full agreement with that, except for the fact that trivializing abuse is another element that people use in this type of debate, and I believe that abuse is abuse. It might not have the same emotional impact on the victim, but the abuser psychology is similar in all cases, and the slippery slope of losing sensitivity to it begins with accepting discussion board bullying as normal.

PS. However this discussion is at least an order of magnitude removed from TFA, which is not abusive, merely presumptuous and premature.

If someone labels cats and dogs and sheep and goats and a bunch of other animals as "dogs" just because they want to be called dogs, and feed those labeled samples into a classifier for training, when given novel samples of species, the pretrained classifier will recognize ("diagnose") anything on 4 legs as a dog. I imagine the same will happen if we compile a genotype database that includes dna from everyone on the "spectrum" (i.e. the "case" dataset will be highly polluted with control samples, which will no doubt turn up null results).

Don't get me wrong, I take your point. It's just that whatever is underpinning severe autism is subtle, and was already going to be difficult to tease out. Now I feel like it's perhaps impossible.
