I keep peddling this idea, but if tech wages came back to reality it would be affordable for small to mid sized companies to hire software developers to truly empower their specific businesses with software.

The reason for that is the same reason your idea works, most businesses outside the tech bubble stand to gain a lot form software. Currently they have no way to act on it except to hobble together a ruby goldberg of SaaS services or try and cram their businesses into a monolithic piece of software that expects your business to run a certain way.
The book cover thing is really insane, too. It's gotten a little better over the last decade, but the early 2000s period was crazy (source: moved from UK to USA at that time).

It's interesting that your pet theory is New York City parochialism. Mine is gerontocracy: the (mostly New York based) publishers of SF & Fantasy have been run by the same aristocracy for ~70 years. And those folks cut their teeth on serialized pulp fiction, comic books, and magazines, which culminated in a certain art style that (imo) peaked in the 1980s.

If you browse wikipedia, you will see that many, many, many roads lead back to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ace_Books

Outside of the US market, newer publishing shops were started & run by younger folks with more modern artistic visions.
Which is tragic considering that the Nazis did not see any future for those people other than dead or slaves.

Somehow people forget that the Nazis wanted to kill or enslave all Slavs[1] within their "lebensraum" territories.

[1] They also considered Estonians and Finns as "Mongoloids" and as such subhuman although both were elevated to "Aryan" status following the winter war.
We seem to have very different priorities. You are concerned about the welfare of employees of privacy-violating organisations. I'm concerned about citizens' privacy and say those organisations shouldn't exist.
> Only if you assume the risk of conflict in any member country being the same as when they weren't a member

Let's imagine we're France.

What's the actual risk of us being directly attacked by an enemy country, starting a conflict?

Now imagine we're France, obliged to join in a conflict by NATO's "collective defence" Article 5. This conflict was already started by an enemy attacking any one of the other 29 NATO members. Particularly murky that now NATO claims cyberattacks count for article 5, and since 2001 we know terrorism can count too.

What's the risk of the latter compared to the former?

I don't see Article 5 as the providor of peace that so many appear to assume it is. Now that the Cold War is long-gone, and it's no longer as simple as "NATO vs Warsaw Pact" in which is was fairly easy to see which side you'd want to be on, I also don't think Article 5 is worth the paper it's written on.

For instance, would your country's citizens be happy to join a war over Taiwan?
"I founded Free-Range Kids in 2008"

This story sound either exaggerated, misrepresented, or possibly wholly made up. Not that it is that hard for me to believe in overeager security at a school, but it is just a little bit too convenient an incident for somebody with such a large preexisting interest in the subject. I would suspect that she was looking for a confrontation, even though she claims to not be confrontational.
My concerns are on the macro level, that it will be used by the powerful to control the opposition parties. Both sides are not the same nor are both sides treated the same by lady justice. Long term, I believe this will be a dangerous political tool.
> all while compiling an unprecedented library of simulated black holes to compare with the observations

It also sounds like this is the combination of an image-generating model hypothesis as well as the raw data itself. Ie, this is the image that the model produces which best-fits the sparse interferometry data.
So in the comment chain we have -

The original comment which said "more sales"; I've never heard someone in business refer to salespersons with the cutesy "sales" so I don't think it's reasonable to think "more sales" refers to people, and if they meant a larger department they would have said "larger department", not "more (department)".

The comment below that also says "sales fixes everything", which, again, same logic as the original (and has the same author as two below where they clearly say "we're talking sales of things").

The comment below that is the only one clearly confusing sales people/department, with sales of things, "I don't think you can solve it with more sales people".

The comment you're directly responding to said "We're not talking about sales people or the department, we're talking about actual sales of things".

And you're saying someone, other than the person being corrected, 'clearly' meant the department or role? Nah.
The Recession No One Will Discuss; as Equity Investors Rush to Exit
I like living in a dense city. I can walk almost everywhere, I don't need a car, there's nice parks, things are open later (although not late enough for my preferences sometimes), there's good variety of restaurants, entertainment, art, food, bars, dancing, sports, clubs for nerds, and so on. The outer walls of my condo are made of concrete, I hear less from my neighbors than when I lived in a house. The jobs situation is/was also convenient, but I now work remotely and still enjoy living in the city.

Of course, I'm sure there are plenty of people who live in a city and don't like it, and also plenty of people who would prefer to live in the city but cannot afford it or their circumstances keep them somewhere more remote.

If my circumstances change so that I do not enjoy it anymore, or if my material needs change, then I'll adapt appropriately, whether it's moving to a different neighborhood, to a beach town, to the mountains, or to the moon.
GR and QFT essentially have to meet at black holes and this is where you’d expect to find an anomaly with ought to help open doors to new physics, but what we see here is that this observation seems to still obey GR just fine and a a closer look will be necessary to find any anomaly.

It might just not be possible to see anything odd without having a black hole right there to study, but there’s always hope that the next new observation will provide a clue as the previous ones repeatedly have not.

Open-source leaders' reputations as jerks is undeserved
Personally, I doubt it would take as much as that. IANAEconomist but I would guess that it won't take more than 3%, if that.

Even if it was a massive shift, it's not happening in a vacuum, we're already in the midst of a great reconfiguration of the (global) economy, automation taking jobs, etc.

Also, there are soil-respecting forms of agriculture that are just like modern conventional agriculture except they incorporate ecological knowledge into their methods. (I like to remind people that Ecology is a science and its applications are technology!) Folks like Gabe Brown up there in North Dakota. ( https://soilhealthacademy.org/team/gabe-brown/ ) He doesn't work any harder than his (conventional non-regenerative) neighbors, probably a bit less, yet he makes more profit while improving (rather than degrading) his land (in other words, his primary asset is appreciating.)

As much as I personally love the idea of a nation of smallholdings, where people tend their food forests and live in harmony with nature like some kind of elves or something, that's just my personal taste, eh? I recognize that, pragmatically, we could keep the status quo except for the part where we are destroying the health of the soil, which is the basis of our own health and happiness after all.

It would give us time to work out all our other problems, eh?

Question: when Orban says “liberal” or “illiberal”, what does he actually mean by those terms?

Worth keeping in mind that Americans and Europeans (especially Continentals/non-Anglophones) may have rather different definitions of “liberal”: “American conservatism, with its Lockean roots, is—from a Continental point of view—not really conservatism, but rather, old-school liberalism.” [0]

Similarly: what’s the difference between a “neoconservative” and a “neoliberal”? The terms have a lot of overlap, many people could be equally described by both: but if a neoconservative can also be a neoliberal, then what’s the difference between “conservative” and “liberal”?

And then I remember that I come from a country whose main “conservative” party is called the “Liberal Party of Australia” (or just “the Liberals” for short). Many of its members and leaders will defend the apparent contradiction by saying “We are conservatives, but we are also classical liberals”-a line I’ve also heard from right-of-centre Americans.

See also “conservative liberalism” [1] - which of course is obviously a very different thing from “liberal conservatism” [2]

Tis all as clear as mud

Maybe the problem is you're trying to "feel good" rather than confront feeling bad.

My recommendation is Simone de Beauvoir's Ethics of Ambiguity. It details various strategies people have for confronting their own existential terror, and ultimately works to develop an ethical system for a world without meaning.

I've found it very insightful for helping to recognize your own behaviors that are effectively ways of denying the true existential questions that are haunting you throughout your life.
100%! I had the same fears when I started rewriting a native Mac video editing app in Electron last year, that it would be a big hurdle and that people would hate it. I don’t think that’s actually true anymore outside of our limited tech bubble. I also don’t think it’s necessarily true that “Electron == slow”, especially if you can offload the heavy stuff to native code and use Electron just for the UI.

I switched to using Tauri recently though, with the same sort of architecture - Svelte front end, Rust for the heavy stuff, and it’s working out nicely. It’s actually faster than the Mac app in most ways (and to be fair, Electron worked well too, but the installer size and startup time bugged me)

If you don’t like the bloat of Electron and don’t mind dealing with 2 browser engines instead of 1 (Webview2 + Safari), Tauri is worth a look. Doubly so if you already know some Rust. They’re still a bit early days in some respects, so it depends on what Electron features you need.
Or he could have phrased it this way: "I didn't want to be invited to your dumb party anyway!"

I'm a big fan of Jupyter Notebook but I've always been frustrated about the sharing experience.

To communicate findings, I often resorted to screenshotting plots and sharing them over Slack or email. Visualizations are great to summarize insights but they don't enable your audience to dive deeper. I wanted something better, where not only the chart is shared, but also the underlying source code and data.

This is probably not super controversial, especially here. But, I need to point out TOS changes are currently only applied after mutual agreement. You agree by continuing to use the service (that may be a controversial statement here, but not really elsewhere).

Be honest and humble. The business won't work as you expect. Keep an open mind and adapt. Ego will prevent this from happening, don't let it.

Be crystal clear why your business needs to exist. Not why you think it should exist. Deeply understand the customer pain points, business domain, competitors, and find your niche. Sales and product development get easier with this.

Deeply understand your cash flows months in advance. Identify warning signals sooner rather than later. Things won't magically get better, act now.

>"Since the interferometric measurements are often incomplete in the Fourier domain, the inverse problem of reconstructing an image from the observed data set is usually underdetermined. Consequently, the image reconstruction requires prior information, assumptions, or constraints to derive a reasonable image from the infinite number of possibilities that can explain the measurements."

They seem to have gone to great lengths to address this issue, however. Multiple imaging approaches, synthetic data tests, etc.

https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/ab0e85/...

Why would looking at something that isn't a supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy prove that this approach works or doesn't work? You'd have different constraints to apply. See for example VLBI measurements of quasars, which seem to employ the same kind of imaging approach. Theoretical models of quasars aren't the same as theoretical models of black holes. They seem to be using these theoretical models as constraints on data interpretation. Unless the theory is completely wrong, which seems unlikely, this looks like a valid approach.

The difference, to me, is that eliminating the ability for someone who isn't the operator of a website to present a valid cert for that website is an improvement for security and reliability.

> it would need to be compatible with existing MITM tooling

In my ideal world it wouldn't be, it would be done on the endpoint before/after the traffic is encrypted/decrypted. There would be no need to mitm anything, the OS would happily show you the content and be legally required to provide facilities for the user/software to do so.

Regulating away mitm proxies doesn't make sense because we don't need to do it, you can prevent middleboxes with nothing other than tech by breaking the ability to mitm connections.
While I’m sure there are live players that earn more than club bouncer levels of money, the only way to do this that I know of is to have access to really big games on an almost daily basis.

At peak covid, all the games dried up and even the pros went slumming. I personally saw Phil Ivey at a 2/5 game (!) at the Aria on a random Monday because that was the only game going and he hadn’t had any live practice in quite a long time.
This applies to nearly any team, you ideally always want to have 2+ people at similar levels competing for the promotion.

> if you oppose this it would be wise to find other ways of solving the concerns people like Kutcher are raising.

A technical solution that scans users' devices for known CSAM does not exist in a way which preserves privacy while still being resistant to surveillance overreach. Apple's method was decent at preserving privacy, but it still requires absolute trust in the entity who provides the list of hashes to not put anything but CSAM there.

And what the EU is proposing goes beyond identifying known CSAM, but identifying new CSAM.

The solution is, as always, making investigations into child exploitation and sex trafficking a priority. It doesn't require the ability to rifle through everyone's devices to find the predators. It certainly hasn't up to this point - the bottleneck is and always has been making it a priority (funding, manpower, etc).

Dunno. If it was something else, I'd be tempted to agree. But Sweden deciding to join NATO, everyone but Hungary agreeing, Sweden stopping parts? Not sure. It's a, well, minor act of military... aggression? Extreme unhelpfulness for sure.

Also the real question would be, would Hungary see it as a credible threat. Were they to go ahead with that, they'd find themselves with no airforce and unhappy allies. That sounds like a raise they couldn't afford to raise.
Weird thing to say considering all of their designs are clearly influenced by an American company (Apple).

For me at least, for no real reason and perhaps because of British narration of documentaries, the British accent "by default" sounds more learned.

This is an interesting idea, but it feels like it would be just about impossible to enforce. It would would also mean violations of terms that were added to take care of bad actors later wouldn't apply to earlier offenders, which would leave the "reason for the rule" still able to engage with the platform in the same manner. It seems like a bit more than a headache, from what I can tell.

Parliament offers the ultimate demonstration of how you know who is really in charge. King Charles kept starting wars, the Parliament told him to stop, he didn't and so they executed the King. That's a sovereign entity.

While requiring more than "a simple majority" seems like a mechanism to prevent certain regrettable outcomes, it really doesn't, it's just a line in the sand. We should oppose a million people voting to execute one innocent just as fervently as 500 people voting to execute 499 innocents, the problem isn't the ratio and so a correct solution can't be about the ratio.

Consensus is great, I love consensus - if you can find a consensus that's brilliant. But super-majorities are not a consensus. And of course when you really do have a consensus it tends to be naturally enduring anyway. I am very dubious of people who imagine that there might be a consensus for policy one minute and then shortly after the consensus is gone. I think there was only ever some clever sleight of hand to deliver the illusion of consensus at all for some purpose.

Gravitational physicist here. Every time we look in a new place and see that GR still works, it is pretty amazing.

Part of this is the fact that everyone in the field works very hard to find a crack in GR's armor, and so far it has resisted everyone.

The other part is that GR has a romantic beauty to it, both in structure and in predictions. Each time GR matches reality in a new context, the feeling is akin to watching a beautiful sunrise on a summer's morning. You've seen it before, but darn if it isn't pretty.
