This is just one more bad variation of the "prime mover" argument. Your step 24 is where a whole bunch of woo is injected.

> Because there must be a root cause, this root cause must be jesusy

The logic is in "not even wrong" territory. Why does being "purely actual, absolutely simple or noncomposite" imply "fully good"? Because you've abandoned reason and are just making up definitions. Define "good", please and thanks, and how that has any connection at all to a "root cause", however you want to define it.
My mistake. The press release is actually from the USDA, and this is the only mention of the FDA:

>USDA has been working closely with FDA to ensure program participants and stakeholders have the information they need to keep infants safe

I apologize for any confusion.
A lot of modern TV remotes have this exact feature too, including stock remotes that come with some LG TVs, and a bunch of cheap third party ones.
Your comment, like speech in general I admit, doesn't tell the whole truth.

"Again, the only 'accommodation' that is asked is to just let them live."

This isn't true as they are asking that comedians to not make jokes about them. Dave Chapelle nor any comedian that I know of go around saying trans people should not be allowed to live. Or have I missed something?
> if it ever became bad enough that I did feel like I was losing control (upping the dose, taking during the day, etc), then I would treat that as a sign that it was time to start thinking more seriously about exiting the situation that is the main root cause.

I would argue that taking a drug to cover over something like anxiety is exactly the sort of circumstance that usually ends up with people being addicted/dependant. If I were you, I'd start addressing those root causes ASAP.

The worse case is 5% because "is a bot" is a boolean variable. That has a standard deviation of 0.5 in the very worst case (50% on value 0, 50% on value 1, so the mean is 0.5, and the deviation can't be more than 0.5). And the standard deviation of a random sample scales like 1 over the square root of the sample size, so 0.5 divided by 10 => 0.05 (5%).

For presidential elections it's common to see samples sizes like 1,000 or so, which have standard deviations of around 1.5%. That's better than 5%, and it makes sense since elections are often won by just a few %. But here, IIUC, the goal was to see if bots are a big part of Twitter or not, and so the answer "there are fewer than 5% bots" is enough. That is, we don't care if the % of bots is 3.5% or 4.7%.

This is interesting. Considering most of our Home internet connection have upload bandwidth far greater than music streaming. A consumer, simple and easy to use devices for this.

Steve Jobs was against the whole Streaming Music services idea. At the time I would have thought the next move for iTunes would be to have free Streaming of songs you have purchased. Which is somewhat similar to this idea.

> Why?

Because I like it when people enjoy things. Do you not?

> and in particular why drivers only?

Where did I imply "drivers only"?
I'm not sure that I follow. Why is the worst-case standard deviation 5%? And for which random variable?

I vaguely do remember the standard way of coming up with a reasonable sample size.

Assuming:

1) We want the commonly used confidence level of 95% (corresponding to a a Z-score of ~1.96).

2) We want a margin of error of 1 percentage point (kinda reasonable, since their estimate is stated as a percentage without explicitly stating the margin of error).

3) We don't know anything about the expected percentage of bots a priori.

4) We ignore the error in determining an account is a bot or not.

Then, we'll need a sample size of 1.96^2/(2*0.01)^2 = 9604.

Only compensate people a lot after you can tell they are contributing substantially. Otherwise it’s just throwing out money/equity. Also in general you should try to pay people the least amount that keeps them productive, engaged, and on the team. It also works well to hire very skilled people from other countries that pay lower.

Why is that? I can think of "just so" explanations that would point in the opposite direction, that less regulation leads to more consolidation. For example, the less regulated an industry is, the fewer barriers there are to buying up competitors. Or the less regulated an industry is, the more companies in the industry will be forced to cut corners to remain competitive, decreasing resiliency and causing bankruptcy when conditions change.

The government is issuing Bitcoin-backed bonds. Subsequently the market has sold off El Salvador’s 10Y traditional bonds to a level that increases the yield to 24%, representing the very high amount of risk of default the market is assigning to El Salvador. Is that all because of the Bitcoin investment or a more general distrust that the government is making sustainable moves? Hard to say.

SRE folks really should be speaking with engineers like you.

I'd love to spend a few months crawling in and around the QA problems your industry faces in production, and how your industry tackles it. There are many echoes of only-happens-at-scale and statistical quality control that software folks think are the first time anyone has ever solved, but are really process engineering problems old hands in industries like yours have long since codified into practices.

This is part of the reason I like going on factory tours and see "How It's Made". The US lost a hell of a lot more than the ability to make goods when we shipped off our manufacturing infrastructure. We lost the capacity to cross-fertilize between industries and create compounding innovation effects.

If you can share as many interesting stories of production line QA as hits your whimsy in as much detail as you care to share, it would be greatly appreciated.

Saying that people gain weight because they consume more energy than they expend is both obvious and too blunt to be useful for weight loss. The same caloric intake of protein, carbohydrates, fat, fiber, preservates, sand, poison, all act differently in your body. You can lose weight in a caloric surplus diet and gain weight in a caloric deficit diet. One fun paradox is some people who train for marathons gain body fat.

I don't have the answer. Ketosis is an example of a weight loss diet where you don't have to count calories, since the body switches into fat burning / fat cell releasing mode by default. Veganism, which starves the body of fat required for normal operation (hormones, celular function), depletes fat stores to use for these functions, and also causes weight loss without having to count calories.

One of the most important things is probably to focus on eating whole foods over processed foods. I'd also consider that fat is more satiating than carbohydrates and protein. One overfeeding study wasn't successful because they couldn't get the fat-eating group to over eat, their bodies stopped them. I'd also consider the glycemic index of foods, since insulin is the signaler to the endothelium receptor to pull excess glucose from the blood into the cells to store as fat.
> I’m not downplaying

But you are downplaying the discrimination that woman are faced with now simply by demanding that cultural barriers are explained to you, when you are aware that the wage gap still exists.

> Will those fields be somehow better with more male representation?

Yes.

> Are men being discriminated against joining those professions?

A little, but not in the same way and not as much bias as women who code or do other things, and men who join female dominated professions tend to be paid equally, unlike women who join male dominated professions.

> With how popular games are today, and how easy it is for anyone to start creating them

You’re asking a theoretical question that ignores the reality of the imbalance of how many people actually do make games, as if somehow logic can overcome history. Your question is one you need to justify asking - if it’s so easy to make games, and if women play games, then why is it a fact that so many fewer women make games and so many fewer women study CS? The answer has played out publicly with many women detailing the abuses they’ve suffered at male dominated dev shops, and these articles seem to bring out the same kind of skepticism and denial that you’re exhibiting, and the same kinds of baited derailing questions that started this thread on an article that had next to nothing to do with sexism. I’m sure you’re aware of the fact that this is being widely reported, and aware of exactly what cultural barriers are being pointed at repeatedly. Are you saying it’s being exaggerated and people are lying?
Heh, I did the exact same thing. I actually did

Yes, you can compress any object small enough and you end up with a black hole.

And yes as far as anything else in the solar system is concerned, if the earth was compressed into a blackhole no orbits would change. Well relativistic effects mean there's no stable orbits below 2 radii (maybe it's 1.5), so various sats would get sucked in.

However just because that's true, doesn't imply the earth is a blackhole, just that the orbits in the solar system wouldn't change. Similarly if the sun collapsed into a blackhole the earth's orbit wouldn't change, but it would get much colder.
Say you’re watching TV and an ad pops up for a brand of Soda. If you’re like me, you’ll get unconvinced and annoyed at and of anything, you’ll explicitly look out not to buy the brand.

But say you’re watching a show and the actors in the show drink that brand of Soda when they are thirsty. I can see how that subliminal advertising actually works, the brand is more familiar to you and familiarity makes you end up buying it instead of another brand.

So subliminal messaging can affect our behavior and differently than if the message was explicitly presented to us. That doesn’t mean flashing “but this product” in single frames or any other crazy barely perceptible “subliminal” messaging works. And the type of advertising nowadays everyone hates is especially not subliminal.
Twister the movie? That came out in 1996. You're off by about a decade and a half. Perhaps this is more that 1996 is around the time you were old enough to know/care about these things?
Dolby Surround was always a consumer product (in movie theaters the multichannel/surround system was called Dolby Stereo and was released in 1976) and was released in 1982 as a fully analog 3 to 2 channel down-mixing encoding technique. It was commonly used on VHS and Laserdisc releases throughout the 1980s and 90s. The upgraded Dolby Pro Logic system was released a few years later -- and home receivers with this capability like the Pioneer VSX line were pretty popular sellers in late 80s/90s. By the time Twister came out, Dolby Digital 5.1 aka AC-3 (which is still in common use today) was already in consumer laserdisc releases. Rapid uptake of Dolby Digital coincided with adoption of the DVD a few years later, since Laserdiscs were always a more niche/enthusiast/yuppie product (at least outside Japan).

If you were born in the 80s, yes, Dolby and it's Double D logo was already a well established and recognizable brand on movie credit rolls and movie posters well before you were born.

Please see my reply further in the post about their philosophies. You are on the money about the issues that you cite. These are individual rights and the party's desire to force compliance with a generalized evangelical Christian morality mainly focuses on things that we consider to be individual rights.

What you may not have considered is how closely aligned their philosophies are with libertarian values as they would apply to businesses and entities operating within the state. It is difficult to apply Christian morals to business operations and they default to libertarian values of minimal government oversight and minimal accountability to the state or to individual citizens.

Businesses are free to do as they please and should a business need some government assistance, cash doesn't even need to be under the table. Legislators also are not in session year-round so it is perfectly acceptable for businesses to author the legislation that they would like to see passed in the next session and as long as they can minimize the public's opportunity to shoot it down, it will likely pass.

About those libertarians, it was actually quite funny to see so many libertarians fall in behind progressive policies that they would never support during the pandemic's worst days after they saw the impact that it had on the economy and the ability for businesses to continue operating. Some of these libertarians left the states for Puerto Rico where they could pay a pittance for large private tracts of land, dodge tax obligations they would've had to pay or work around back home, and make sure they got their "share" of the PPP monies that were thrown out onto the streets with no oversight. They can now tweet about the delicious food options on the island, the great climate, etc while ignoring the plight of real Puerto Ricans, many of whom are still rebuilding after the last major hurricane.

Hypocrisy is one of the under-reported attributes of a true libertarian.

>and its features are not offloaded to extensions.

I think commonly used features should be built in, and rarely used features or features where people can't agree on how the UI should look, should be in extensions. I think HSTS customization would be a rarely used feature, so should be in an extension.

I think I agree that most of what you're saying would be ideal. I'm not sure how much of it is doable though when you consider programmer time constraints.

It's easy to see who actually wants to address climate change, and who wants to use it as a lever to further a political agenda, by looking at support of different technological solutions, vs support for setting society and human progress back in some way as the only plausible solution.

*(although I'm fuzzy on what can be included in geoengineering - this technology looks interesting and I'm a big fan of carbon capture, I don't support e.g. putting something in the atmosphere to reflect light into space or anything "unnatural" like that. But just removing CO2 from the atmosphere seems safe).
Actually it's something like 2 radius, unlike the earth there's no stable orbits under 1.5 or 2 radii (I forget which). Outside of 2 radii there's no differences.
Well my argument is that all of these guys were the "right person for the job". They didn't rise to the top of a traditional competitive scene like a college exam or a race to a technology, they found that their brand of narcissism was very appealing to certain groups on the internet and they used it to their advantage from there.

(See below for two answers about the math that gets to 5%.)

> We want a margin of error of 1 percentage point (kinda reasonable, since their estimate is stated as a percentage without explicitly stating the margin of error)

If the question they want to answer is "give me the exact % of bots on Twitter", then yes, you probably want a standard deviation of less than 1%. That would take many thousands of samples, as you say - much larger than sample sizes used in presidential elections, even.

OTOH, my guess is that the question for them is "are bots a big part of the Twitter population?" In that case, 97% of accounts being real versus 96% doesn't matter much, since both show bots are a very small group. (But maybe bots write a disproportionately large # of tweets?)

The article only mentions it in passing, but multiple contemporary sources attest to the fact that Caesar was planning on a military campaign into Dacia and Parthia within the next year and that he intended to lead the army himself. That doesn't sound like the way a man who intended to commit suicide by assassination would chose to spend his final months.
