Agreed (except the "automatic" weapon part), but the article has some assuring facts:

> Armed teachers would be required to undergo criminal background checks and receive eight hours of additional training each subsequent year.

I would be in favor of even more training, frankly. Owning a gun is already a serious responsibility; using it in defense of others is an existential concern.
Agreed. I forgot how to use gdb and windbg because it's been so long since I needed to grok assembly to troubleshoot something (you need to use gdb with Go too) and most of my work these days is with interpreted languages that are easy to reflect into, but its very useful knowledge to have in the toolbox.
>somehow believe that if we just ignore race and racism it'll somehow magically just go away.

I mean if everyone just ignored race there would literally be no racism.
Only if you call the National Guard a militia. There is little or no organization or record-keeping related to gun ownership in the US as I recall. If you want to be a strict constitutionist (sp?), creating a registry of what-you-have, where-you-are and how-you-re-trained would be in consonance with a well-regulated militia. Folks would scream bloody murder if anybody tried that.
I guess people have forgotten the world before supermarkets (the replacement for traditional 'grocery stores'). You could not buy a pineapple or a banana or an orange. It was impossible. What made it possible were the literal overthrow of governments by corporations that acted like pirates with a monopoly on a given crop, in combination with technical and logistical revolutions.

It's also amazing to see supermarkets getting the blame. Food prices are almost entirely based on trade deals and exploitation by food producers. Supermarkets are just the last mile in a long chain that includes not just food producers and transporters and sellers, but competing markets with politically-influenced tariffs and government subsidies. The price you pay for food has almost nothing to do with the supermarket, unless said supermarket has such a stranglehold on its markets that it can dictate prices up the food chain (Walmart is the only one in the US like this afaik).

Yes, America, your food is more expensive now. Because for the past 70 years, your food prices have been artificially lowered as a result of anticompetitive market manipulations, government subsidies, backroom trade deals, and changing global environments. The majority of fresh produce you get in a US supermarket isn't even from this country! And let's not even talk about the sizeable portion of this country that doesn't even have access to fresh produce, regardless of cost. Your ability to "eat healthy" is more of a political act than a gastronomic or commercial one.
Right- I would love to see the numbers compared with something like Kroger, whose main business is groceries. Calling Walmart a grocery store is like calling Target a grocery store-- technically true, since they both sell groceries, but neither of them seems to be especially focused on food.

I certainly don't argue with the idea that our grocery stores suck, though I'm not convinced it's a solely american problem nor that the reasons are those given in the article.
Many people are finding their way out of big cities and into a less technologically enhanced life. Good ol' rural country living.

Is it possible for urban society to shift away from AI? No I don't think so. Is it possible for a NEW society to emerge that shifts away from AI? Yes, and that new society is already alive and growing.

Perhaps one day these two opposing societies will have to fight for supremacy, which sounds like an interesting scenario. Someone should write a book about that.
I also dislike HSTS. I modified the .so file so that it does not recognize the Strict-Transport-Security header. (There are many other features that are also bad, but HSTS is especially bad.)

The browser MUST allow the end user to override EVERYTHING (and assume that you know what you are doing, instead of trying to do things for you differently than what you did), and then it will be good.
1. How did rejecting atomic weapons go?

2. In what way does it "threaten human dignity" that is different from the technologies that came before it? Automation took away the livelihoods of people in industries like manufacturing decades ago. Feels like what is truly "different" this time around is just that you feel your job is threatened, so now it's a problem for all of society.
Grocery stores are amazing? They're the ultimate feat of human engineering. I'd trade the internet for the modern grocery store.
Agreed.

That's why i said in another comment that it makes sense to discuss this in the Indian Workplace more than the American Workplace.
But it did, Instagram Stories immensely limited Snapchat’s growth with now limited upside. Imagine the scale of IG stories today, without it all these people would have used Snapchat instead.

Is that a Chrome thing? I'm a Firefox user, generally. But my understanding is if the browser allows any sort of bypass it is not compliant with the spec.
> This is designed to work with Chrome >=78 on macOS

Chrome 78 is like 25 releases ago, so nothing new here, they’re not requiring HSTS for localhost now, or ever, hopefully. Whoever the hell decides to force an HTTPS connection to localhost with an HSTS header have themselves to blame. localhost is a secure context without HTTPS.
Look you and your team clearly wants to believe that nobody in the world are better than you. That’s fine. A bit arrogant perhaps? But if it makes you feel good about yourself then why not? No harm done as far as I can see.
An AI already controls the world. It's just a dumbass paperclip maximizer called "capitalism" whose job is to make the line go up on a graph. It's a kind of cute design where instead of using silicon chips, they get organic beings to do minor calculations for them, and then it's the distribute computing problem from hell to get all the calculations combined and error corrected, but it basically works well enough, and as aforementioned, it already controls the world. So basically, I don't see much room for a second AI to run the world unless it can find a way to coopt the operations of the first.
I have my childhood VT180 sitting here in its original box, along with all the documentation and software. Unfortunately it's not currently working but one of these days I'll dig into it and figure out what's wrong.
> One of the psych principles I used to lecture about often in my keynotes was on boundaries as freeing, and discussed an experiment where children clustered around the sandbox in a playground with no fence, but used the entire playground area when there was a fence.

In both cases there is a boundary condition and distribution is biased towards the boundary. (Sand/Grass transition is a boundary). So the fence is not 'freeing' anything: it is simply demarcating the [extended] 'space of play', and is a stronger boundary condition (physical fence) than the material boundary (sand/grass).
Captive portals aren't malicious. They're arguably helpful. But I've never seen a captive portal using fake certificates either.

You can blame the spammers for that.

US real estate investment companies do the same thing when buying hotels (especially the big ones that immigrants do not have the funds to buy). And they are staffed/led by American people.

Many Americans participate in the business of buying a business and then lowering its quality. Maybe they borrowed too much to buy it and the debt service is causing cash flow issues. Maybe the goal was always to trade in reputation for short term cash. Maybe it is an REIT that wants to hit a certain ROI so it stays competitive in people’s 401k, or helps a city’s underfunded pension fund try to meet an unrealistic target.
I work in silicon development, and we call software models "simulation" and FPGA models "emulation."

Both terms are a little arbitrary, but logic on an FPGA is not a simulation, for most definitions of "simulation." Perhaps more accurate than either term is "implementation," since it is an honest-to-God implementation in a digital circuit of the logic.

Think of it this way: software tells a computer what to do, gateware tells an FPGA what to be.
I think the question is how much it (H1B) costs vs the person's disposable income, in addition to the cost of spending time pursuing it, having a place to do the paperwork, having a stable address and even a stable identity... I'm saying the people who make it to that embassy with the right paperwork are already highly filtered.
I wonder what the economics of this product look like at $9.99/month. I'm rooting for them. I think the vast majority of people that would pay for premium software can't justify paying more for email than they pay for JetBrains, Adobe, or Figma/Sketch.

I've seen the happy customers paying $30. I just wonder if they're missing out on 5-10 more happy customers for every 1 of those that's willing to pay $9.99.
Everybody is, thats the best part.
Speak for yourself. I find I can never get everything on my list at just one store, so I end up having to shop through multiple stores to try and find what I'm looking for. Even then there are things I can't get at any store in town.

Let me tell you a secret: They're all just the same browser. Every enterprise policy applies to consumer Chrome installs. The only real difference is that consumers often get a user-folder-installed version which annoyingly doesn't require admin rights to install, and businesses generally properly deploy an MSI file that installs to Program Files.
Very true. If you take the current manufacturing process as an example, every product is broken down to the simplest process. At that point it's analyzed and automation is put in place where possible. With the automation possible now, even without general AI, the same process will see a huge impact on white-collar jobs. It's only a matter of time.
Local agents can serve up content with proper domain names, which can resolve to anything, including 127.0.0.1. There’s exactly zero reason to use the insane setup of HTTPS + HSTS with localhost.

I've got trouble placing a year on this, it was the early 80s. Lets call it '82 or '83 (I remember Burger Time video game).

My grandparents took me to Washington DC and due to a mix up with the reservations for hotel rooms, the travel agency put us in the Watergate Hotel.

For an about 10 year old, the hotel restaurant at the Watergate was a bit too fancy. Across the street (looking at Google maps - and https://www.google.com/maps/@38.9000541,-77.0557682,3a,68.9y... looks about right), was a Howard Johnsons which was indeed a place where a 10 year old boy could get food without problem. (later edit: yep - that's it - https://www.flickr.com/photos/edge_and_corner_wear/972817199... )

The food that I likely wouldn't have ate (as a picky eater) but my grandmother had me try before she told me what they were was the fried clams.

https://www.thefooddictator.com/howard-johnsons-fried-clams/

I turned out I actually liked them and so had them each time I went there on that trip.

https://www.splendidtable.org/story/2016/09/30/howard-johnso...

An article about that last Howard Johnsons - https://www.eater.com/2017/2/14/14601970/last-howard-johnson...

From that article...

> There are some days, like when a previous Howard Johnson’s owner drives to Lake George just to shake LaRock’s hand and wish him luck, or when a couple arrive from New Jersey just to eat fried clams at a linoleum HoJo’s counter again, when none of that feels important. There are other days, however, when LaRock tries to predict the weather while waiting for tour buses full of French-Canadians, and in those moments, and it feels like he is the captain, first mate, and chief steward of a ship that’s already sunk.

Not if it's well written
“Selection” is a very easily misunderstood technical term which overlaps with concepts people often find more familiar. “Natural” is basically whatever anyone wants it to mean. Without intentional study, basic foundations of evolutionary biology are easily misinterpreted. To the extent I can give you the benefit of the doubt that you’re an outlier and understand it better… you’re an outlier. Not the people who you’re judging.
That’s exactly what I want - to know what I’m going to get.

When I travel for business and now that my wife and I are traveling more for leisure, we look for an Embassy Suites. We know we are going to get a two room suite, a decent breakfast, a nice happy hour every day and good customer service.

We did the AirBnb once. While it was definitely a decently nice place, we missed the gym, cleaning, restaurant downstairs, easy access by Uber (we were in a gated community), etc.

In fact, my wife and I are planning to be digital nomads for the next couple of years starting later this year. We will definitely be staying in Hilton chains - Embassy, Homewood, or Home2Suites - we will be comfortable and the two room suites give me a place to work.

Not to mention the side benefits of points you can rack up with the cobranded card.

Other brands may be as good, Hilton is just what I’m familiar with.

Bill 96 does look like segregation to me, but comparing it to apartheid or Nazism might be a slight exaggeration.

I just don't think these issues are as simple as "good or bad". At the end of the day, English overtaking French is a real phenomenon. Are they supposed to just sit there and let it happen only to end up with a possibly more divided society where half the population can't communicate with the other?

I'm not saying the solution they came up with is right (actually I think having to pass these types of laws is just a sign of weakness) but at the same time I refuse to think that it's fuelled by xenophobia.
I also find that adding gluten to rye-heavy doughs makes them rise far more easily (and generally just behave better).
>thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind

I'm not worried about ML "art" or literature, those are curiosities and don't actually threaten to replace anything, people who expect them to are very optimistic about the progress of ML.

I am worried about ML replacing human judgement on the road, with weaponry, content moderation, law enforcement, and using it to do things that humans wouldn't have the resources to do. (i.e. a policeman on patrol in a neighborhood is fine, a police ML surveillance camera that identifies people and records everything they do in public is not)

To simply imply that immigrant owned == poor quality is lazy and incorrect. I am sure there is more to the story than that, and in order to have a proper discussion we need the rest of that story.
Been using ahrefs for years, not sure what is sleazy about it.

It audits your site for issues, shows Google rankings for keywords, estimated volume for keywords, backlinks to specific sites, backlinks to specific pages...etc.

It doesn't do anything for SEO (no content, no links...etc), it simply reports on the state of affairs.
Do they actually ask that? That's madness.

It's really not a valid question -> only a court can determine if you've commited a crime, that's why we call people suspects, not criminals, before they are convicted.

For example recently in UK, a group of 4 people have toppled a statue and threw it in the river. This sounds like a crime to any normal person, and they were charged with criminal damage.

The accused raised defences of lawful excuse, owner's consent, etc. They were found not guilty - with many people foaming at the mouth because they disagreed with the decision, media calling them criminals, you know the drill.

But the opinions of random people are just that - opinions. In fact even if you think you commited the crime, the court is not required to accept your guilty plea and could still find your innocent.

Only judge and jury can evaluate defences presented and decide if this is a crime. So what should these four people answer to such a question? Or suppose those 4 people where never charged- what should they have answered?

It’s all relative. My mum (in her 80s) is, as they say, “quite fair”. She’s lived in Boston for decades and when I was visiting a couple of weeks ago I could see she was still subject to the usual Boston racism. But I noticed it was mostly older people — ppl my age (50s) or younger were a lot better, and not just because they don’t notice older people.

I got a lot of appearance genes from my white dad so this issue doesn’t come up for me.

Where I live in Palo Alto the kids I interact with don’t appear to care at all and seem to mix pretty indiscriminately, which is great.

> My guess is some sales dude thought he could get a good deal with Walmart, couldn’t, took it anyways, then decided to blame Walmart.

WalMart deals always look good in the short term. The problem is the longer term.

What really happened is that some sales dude got a deal with WalMart, bumped his numbers, got a promotion, cashed his check, and cleared outta dodge. And then over the next few years WalMart squeezed Vlasic to death.
It really just proves that people just don't want to do it anymore. If you have to pay half a million dollars to find someone to fill a position that requires no education or specialization, that means it's an unpopular job.

I think I went down a somewhat similar route. It's easy to find oneself trying to embody some archetypal champion of "logical" and "rational" thinking when you're a highschool nerd.

In the end I think my issue that led me off it was that it just ended up being a) judgmental and b) like you, finding that I was just not right enough to justify it!

When I ran into more of those types (our types?) Who are a dime a dozen in a college engineering department my goto quip was:

The scientific method is the admission that rationality and logic are limited; they're just the first step — forming a hypothesis. The rest of it is about how your rationality and logic failed you.

I think this is partially why you find many rationalist and skeptic types not actually doing any science. They haven't had the humility beat into them by science yet, haha.
