I think you'd feel very different about what this sentence really means if people maliciously assumed you were drunk driving or a pedofile just because you wore a budweiser shirt.

Or if there were plans for laws making bipolar specialists illegal, or outlawing non-christian addiction programs.

Or if there were laws forbidding teachers from mentioning that psychological disorders in general (but especially bipolar) exist and required them to snitch on you to your parents and the state if it were suspected that you were bipolar.

An interesting portion of this is the Restricted API, which limits the number of sites to 10, but allows an unlimited number of requests at the $5/k rate. There doesn't seem to be any restriction on business use, which seems like a good option for paid, ad-free and anonymized code search, since 95% of the desired results are from three sources: GH, SO and Reddit.
The cost of conformity is not the same for everyone. It might be easy if your natural state is fairly close to the norm you are conforming to. It is a lot worse if your natural state is in direct contradiction to the norm.

It is easy for someone who is fairly close and doesn’t have to adjust much to say that the cost of conformity is worth it for the gain.
+1 to that. It's one of the best books on mathematics I know of.
Separately from my other reply, I'm curious whether you'd agree with the statement that the solution to bad speech is more speech. Because along with the most extreme views tend to come the most extreme solutions, most commonly suppressing undesirable speech. Boycotts are the most widely accepted ways of achieving this, but they don't usually work when the public doesn't agree with the boycotters.

And it's clear (to me anyway) that if one believes speech leads to violence, and if less extreme measures don't achieve the results you want, one will eventually attempt to have speech such as Chapelle's comedy routine legally defined as incitement of violence.

It is decidedly not incitement, according to the current legal definition, which I endorse. What do you think?

You mean the war of aggression that Russia is waging against Ukraine?
We could put a black hole over Russia, so that any ballistic missiles they launch get sucked up in it.
In large companies it's much easier.

As an individual entrepreneur, you're the sole decision maker and responsible for everything.

In a large company, you can always blame someone else, your boss, your employee, the HR guidelines, the unclear safety guidelines, the shareholders, boss implied you should ignore the law, ... there's often conflicting formal (e.g. "compliance training") and informal (e.g. promotion/commission) incentives as well.
> maybe life is equally astronomically unlikely

All evidence points to the contrary. Once you have conditions that support life, given time and entropy, inevitably there is life. I don't think finding life out there is much of a going concern. But I think maybe whether there is Intelligent Life™ out there, is. Even if Earth is the first evolution of life in the Universe, it is too late, it's going to be everywhere it can be eventually, because waterbears can survive space (and God knows what else), and sometimes things hit Earth and knock off parts with waterbears, given enough times, one of those is then bound to hit another Goldilocks planet, and there you have it.

It's not just a simple cast, but I should have used the correct term which is "control flow analysis". It's not just redefining the variable, control flow analysis works in lots of different places besides just typeof checks, and is possible in many cases because TS is structurally typed, not nominally typed.
And why would conscripts try harder in 1975? What difference did it make?

Another suggestion is that it has to do with the fact that this test is taken at a specific age. My very scientific hunch is that in the past few generations, adolescence was extended by decades, and the real problems in life started way later, while in 1975 people still married young

The same incentive system explains that too, though. The incentive is to ship. Once you've shipped the system, improving it isn't rewarded, so if it isn't immediately viable, who cares, you got your promotion and you can say, "Well we tried".
As a Russian, I can assure you that copyright was never really enforced in Russia in the first place, despite it being a member of WTO for some time. People around me who do pay for software and especially movies/tv shows/music instead of torrenting do it as a goodwill gesture more than anything else.
I guess Google don't want this. In the last years Google has been hiding ads making them looking like the normal results [1]. From an advertiser perspective, you want to have your ad as the best result for a search, "lying" to users to use your website or product because is the best for what you're looking for.

I think this is different with Youtube. I see those ads like TV ones. Everyone know it's an ad, so the advertiser has to use their ability to catch the costumer.

Even if the country theoretically was in a good place to defend against it (I don't believe they are), it would be political suicide for anyone in the western world to listen to someone that's closer to Hitler than any dictator in the world since World War 2. It doesn't matter what they say, the well has been thoroughly poisoned so any words that come out of it are automatically wrong.
Seriously. I'm in Canada but I regularly see drivers cut through bike lanes to get in and out of parking lots without checking for bikes, or turn through a bike lane at an intersection without checking their blind spots. Even seen someone drive over a concrete curb and on a protected bike lane to get around a slow moving garbage truck.

I never feel safe on shared streets unless there's a physical barrier between cars and other road users. It only takes half a second of distraction for a driver to ruin your day, or worse.

I can't see how VCs benefit from selling a dream to peasants.
>In particular, the enjoyment of drivers is an important optimization criterion.

Yeah but it's not (it shouldn't be) important for every road. And that's the point. We want roads that drivers prefer for "enjoyment" (I have never enjoyed driving a vehicle) and roads that optimize for bicycle rider and pedestrian enjoyment. The drivers can stay on the driver roads and bicycle riders and pedestrians can stay on the bicycle and pedestrian roads.
>By most measures, Canada is more developed than the US.

By what measures? Social benefits? I was speaking about industry and technology not about health care accessibility or whatever. By that criteria you can call Sweden more developed than US.

The majority of the world's most valuable companies are from US[0] so private sector wise US is superior.

I'm aware the sound wasn't from a cassette, but it's strikingly ironic to me. Very fitting.

Coincidentally, I used to record a weekend radio show that was on for 6 hours straight on to VHS tape HiFi tracks for playback later without having to flip the cassette.
My experience has been the opposite of yours. In the last city I lived in they had "sharrows" on some of the streets, and cyclists would get angry when people drove on those streets. Apparently when cyclists suggest that you share something with them, they mean they get to use it and you don't, which isn't my understanding of the term.

> But, in my experience, people living in rural areas rely on their immediate neighbors for more than those living in larger developments. This is conducive to the development of a strong local culture, and outsiders who move in expecting the mass media American culture will likely not feel welcome.

This might be true for some people in large cities, especially the wealthier and the transplants from other places.

However, poor people in cities have a huge sense of community. They rely on their community a ton, and everyone works together to survive. The neighborhood is the community, and it is much like a close knit rural community, only compacted into a smaller city neighborhood.
According to some quick Googling, this seems unlikely (see below). Europeans do get more paid time off than Americans, but I doubt they're working 30-40% less than Americans.

Ah the ever elusive causation shell game.
Much more energy gets wasted by a high monetary inflation currency like USD, which pushes the economy to create additional busywork churn in the name of "growth".
Another solution might be legislation requiring independent accredited labs to be involved in the testing process, but again you can have massive problems here as the labs that pass questionable product are the ones who get their contracts renewed.

Here's a suggestion: companies are allowed to use in-house testing, but as soon as defective/substandard products are found in the market, the company loses its in-house testing license and must have its products validated by external agencies. Only after X number of years/batches/volume of fault-free product can a company request to reinstate its in-house testing license.

And those external agencies may charge whatever they want, of course. And if a competitor finds a fault in an agency's testing procedures, they win said agency's existing contracts.

That model creates all the adversarial business relations that small-government aficionados seem to salivate over, I think.

Yes, ads should be locked up inside services that users specifically choose to use if and when they want.

Those services should not have overlapping features, like providing mail, social media, or general search, for example, as that would be a clear conflict of interest.
I moved from the US to Canada, and got a new offer at a publicly-traded US company recently.

In the US, pay is around $215k total comp ($175k base, $40k RSUs). Because, I'm in the Toronto (which is more expensive than most of the US), they said my pay would get a circa $111k USD base ($145k CAD base).

Adjusted for inflation, I'm earning less than what I was making when I was 25 years old. Now, at age 32, I'm struggling to pay significant debts on this salary.

What am I to do?

>There will be programs that run on general-purpose computers, and peripherals, that will freak even me out. So I can believe that people who advocate for limiting general-purpose computers will find a receptive audience. But just as we saw with the copyright wars, banning certain instructions, protocols or messages will be wholly ineffective as a means of prevention and remedy. As we saw in the copyright wars, all attempts at controlling PCs will converge on rootkits, and all attempts at controlling the Internet will converge on surveillance and censorship. This stuff matters because we've spent the last decade sending our best players out to fight what we thought was the final boss at the end of the game, but it turns out it's just been an end-level guardian. The stakes are only going to get higher.
That's the problem - everything gets packaged into one treaty, under one vote, with a lot of political momentum behind it. Like hiding objectionable laws in 9000 page budget bills.

But you raise a good point - without a single-subject rule [1], we would be quickly back to square one, as instead of voting on ratification, there would be a large "Trans Pacific Partnership Omnibus Bill" that would simply have everything thrown in, without giving the public or the system the chance to examine each clause individually.

The rot runs deep.

The term you're looking for is "phone phreak". There's another reference to John Draper (Captain Crunch) early in the movie. When they are playing Scrabble, one of the words is SCRUNCHY - and the S and Y are separated from the rest of the word at first, so you see CRUNCH.

John was also a technical consultant for the film and appears in the documentary on the DVD.

For those who don't have it yet, I definitely recommend getting the DVD for the special features.

Just a simple Markdown file in VS Code.

I use little symbols like this: [x] = done, [-] = canceled. [>] = moved. [~] = in progress. I also write notes on the items so I can recall my thought processes quickly. To me, it's important to keep a to-do list free-form and unconstrained -- a constrained to-do list is not as useful. (hence I find most dedicated to-do list apps -- while tidy -- to not be that useful in real life)

My .md file looks like this:

[x] Setup meeting with director Y

[x] Call Person X
[ ] Debug ffff.py
* I tried x but it didn't work. Maybe try y?
* Also look at z further up the pipeline.
[~] Schedule meeting with ZZ
* remember to discuss topic YY - don't move forward without agreement. Don't get sidetracked.

Parked
[ ] Schedule visit to location BB to learn how it works
[ ] Check out new database system DD -- see if it's faster than what we have.

I scan this every day to quickly remember where I'm at. Before I did this, I found I wasted hours in the morning just trying to recall what I had to do in a day, which meant I only worked 4 hours of every 8 hour day. With this, I can squeeze in 6-8 hours of productive work.

The only downside of this system is that there are no automatic reminders, but I need time-based reminders for certain things, I just add an item to my calendar app. That's what calendaring apps are for, and todo apps merely duplicate their functionality.

Context switching is expensive, and anything you can do to recover context quickly will pay dividends.
The most notable thing to me here is that nobody tried to stop it, they do not talk about barriers, only a vague mention that she might not have been nerdy enough but that notion was removed when she spoke.

In fact they were enthusiastic about the task and she was given free reign- and this was a Texan company; Texas as far as I understand is the bastion of right wing politics in the US (I’m not American. Forgive me if I’m wrong), and here’s a foreign woman being given free reign.

So, what happened? 40 years later and I’m being told nearly constantly that games are discriminating towards women.

I work in games, have for close to a decade, and HR beats us over the head for not hiring enough women. (Then later on our executives seem to sleaze on those women, which we also get blamed for. But. Hey Ho.)

Nobody is sure, and I'm not an expert in this field, but looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_world#Alternative_hypothes... there are a few ideas.

I think the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAH_world_hypothesis is somewhat similar to your idea. IIUC they don't self reproduce, they just grow in a random order in a pattern. And the proposal is that it 's good to support the RNA bases for a small time to make it easy to build small chains.

[I remember to have read something like that about clay or crystals, but I can't find it now in the article in Wikipedia. Perhaps the idea was abandoned a long time ago.]
Thats the problem with language design. If the language allows something, it needs to correctly support it; even if actually doing it is a bad idea.
It's not surprising that Reason points to trade restrictions which makes sense because importing food from Europe should not be an issue, but on the other hand, why does the government, federal or local not have a stockpile of well... the stuff you feed infant children with?

Same situation as the masks again. Yes, free trade alleviates these issues but only if you're not in global bottleneck which seem to be increasingly common with supply chain and production issues. This is food security, and countries should have the industrial capacity and backup to not end up with empty shelves.

You're missing the point. They don't come out ahead in the long term. This just harms farmers in India in the long term.
