It's entertaining, but I wouldn't take the 'consequences of investing in science' too seriously. The idea of the Soviets managing to land on the Moon because one man didn't die is, when you take a critical look at it, as silly as the idea of the Nazis winning WW2 because a single battle went the other way. The Soviets were never able to land on the Moon for good reason, and I'd say for similar reasons their predictions on American technological development would be similarly too rosy.

Alternate history is fun, but maybe best not taken too seriously.
This has not been true in my experience. The shitty small business masquerading as a startup treated me horribly, now I work for OVH and everyone is super nice.
A similar discussion from when their earnings report came out last month: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31338355
I can totally see the logic of why the admin would want to remove them. Popular school, always in the news, greek life poses a liability, even if that liability is so small. The DEI Office is screaming because greek life is a diversity nightmare to the casual onlooker (the one writing the hit pieces, which is what they are really scared of).

The logic makes perfect sense from one line of thinking, but it's stupid because it overlooks the benefits of these places. I almost can't describe why they are beneficial, part of it is the community and part of it is just having to deal with problems and conflict.

I look at greek life as "partially structured community building". This is where a university gives you a piece of land and a building, some funding, and tells the students to figure the rest out with a framework to guide them. Inevitably there will be messy moments, but that's kind of the point, because greek life is basically a giant class on figuring out life. You drink on a tuesday afternoon on the front lawn when you're a greek so you can realize that's not a worthwhile thing to do as an adult.

It probably is; if a film wants to use any military hardware, the Pentagon gets the final say about the contents.

And if they want to earn big in China and get subsidies from their film funds, it cannot be critical of China / Chinese people, they can't be the bad guys, it has to have at least a secondary Chinese actor, and it needs a scene in a Chinese city. That's what I've observed with some of these films anyway, e.g. the Transformer films.

Television has gone through something of a redefinition in recent decades. Today, TV can be seen as more of an atmospheric decoration - it's "always on" in the same sense as when broadband internet was introduced to the public: TVs can always be used for something, because there is always something available to watch.

Modern consumers tend to use some other screen at least part of the time they're watching television.

Before, TV used to be dependent on the content being broadcast, and so there was something of a hard constraint upon the amount of TV time - especially for children. This has gone completely out the window in recent years.
Well, I should have tested a bit more before posting.

How is Plasma in terms of CPU, memory, and graphics load? When I switched from Mac OS X to Linux six years ago I tried Ubuntu but I found Gnome to be incredibly slow and resource intense. Then I tried Xubuntu and I've used it ever since. I'm pretty happy running XFCE on two 4K screens with my desktop and on my hidpi Lenovo laptop. I've noticed Plasma continuing to improve and people recommending it so now I'm more keen to test it out.

Besides the improved UX are there any other advantages of Plasma over XFCE?

> What do you have in mind for "real accountability?"

Reduction in pay and/or bonus. Loss of options. Reduction in his health cover to the same amount being offered to the people being sacked. Temporary or permanent removal from the board (probably not legally possible, but...).

Obviously none of those things will happen because, short of gross misconduct, they basically never happen to people in the executive layer - especially founders.

> He could've deflected responsibility or hid behind a proxy, which happens all the time. Now, he gets more judgment good/bad directed at him from shareholders, the board, and customers.

I think it would have been better for him not to claim personal accountability when everyone knows there is none. It's false and un-empathic. He has a net worth of $2.4 billion: there are no consequences and so no accountability.
Unfortunately a two man rule would negate the redundancy of having two pilots.
Here is the actual paper (it's linked in the article):
https://cryptoeconomicsystems.pubpub.org/pub/murialdo-physic...

It's a little bit hard to figure out if this work is:

a) a fascinating but ultimately impractical thought experiment; or

b) utter bullshit, a pollution of the signal/noise space; or

c) actually possible? maybe? (extremely unlikely...)

From my understanding, it kind of reminds me of physics papers on warp drives. Impossible, but there's still some sort of tantalizing intellectual idea that feels like it could go somewhere.
I can't compare with Java, but I can for C#. With Rust I find that I have much more confidence that I understand what the code is doing primarily due to the borrow checker and how Rust enforces unique vs shared access vs ownership. Just by knowing the types involved, I know exactly what a function could potentially do to what I pass in just by looking at the call site.

In C#, I can't tell at the call site whether a function could mutate what I pass in; not without looking at the implementation of the function and anything it passes that object to. With Rust, how it's passed in completely informs me about this. If it's passed by shared reference, it can't mutate. If it's passed by unique reference, it might mutate. If it's passed by ownership, then I can't access the instance any more anyway, so it's not my problem.
That's not really all that different from an ICE car. Every ICE car I've owned becomes overly costly to maintain after 200k miles or so, with a resale/scrap value of a couple grand at most.

I live over by MIT at northeastern(go ahead, make fun of me for not getting in), and all my life I've dreamt of being part of the MIT "hacker" culture. It simply does not exist at northeastern, as I know of only 4 people or so who share in the ethos I know of. Also of note at my wonderful college are the police around every corner, with their cars parked everywhere watching us, the massive network of security cameras, and the insane access control. To give you the idea of what it's like to come home after classes, I walk towards the lobby of my building, with a camera facing outwards, it sees me and unlocks door 1. Then I scan my card and a guard sees my face and door 2 unlocks. I walk under a camera which looks at my face. I then tap my keycard on my lock and punch in my code. This lock is also inside of my room, and I have been locked out of my room, while in my /own/ room twice. Back to the beginning of the digression, I am part of my university's radio club, and the MIT hacker scene. From what my friends say, MIT clamps down more and more by the day. Increased cameras, draconian universal keycard systems and obstructive bureaucrats galore. Additionally, the alumnus among them are now seen as weird outsiders ever since the pandemic shifted the access norms on campus(it used to be open and now everything is keycard controlled). I can certify I would have gone absolutely _bonkers_ without knowing these people, I can say with certainty that before I knew them it was perhaps the most miserable year of my life. I hope in the future we can be kept even safer, perhaps in little cubes with cameras on all the walls and a little screen and keyboard to take classes with. I think that will lead to a healthy dialogue on global inclusion themes and mindful wellness.

It's not that one site is seeing another site.

It's that multiple sites will serve content (ads, Javascript libraries, like buttons) from a common site (eg an ad network) that uses its own domain.
That domain is allowed to get the cookie for itself because it is referenced by multiple site, that's how this type of tracking works.

If you go to bbc.com, it still won't be able to see cookies from cnn.com, but say if advert.com is included by both sites, then it will see that you visited them both.
That's the power and great danger that things like facebook and google sense represent.

The owner of the sites get some stats for free by using these services, but the biggest benefit is for google and facebook to be able to track what users are looking at accross the web. And you just need to be identifiable on one site that you visit (say, FB or gmail) for them to know exactly who you are.

From what I understand, Firefox will only allow advert.com to get the cookie it created when being loaded as part of bbc.com, but it won't be able to read its own cookie from cnn.com, it will have to create a new, separate one, thus breaking the link tracking you between sites, or at least making it harder to connect the dots.

Everyone should use FF.

Not sure if the anger is to be directed at the institutions in this case or not. Clearly, a lot of schools are deficient. But it's rare that a person can recite back what they learned the same way they heard it all on the spur of the moment. It could be the material was covered, but in a different order than you recieved it, so their education looks more scattershot. Just a possible explanation.

> Are you pretending FDIC covers more than 1% of all deposits?

It doesn't have to cover all of deposits, it has to cover failures. The chances of every bank in the country simultaneously collapsing is slim (and you've got bigger problems at that point than your balance). No one's lost a penny worth of FDIC-insured funds since 1933.
I think you shouldn't compare Rust to Java (the language), you should compare it to Java (the ecosystem). The JVM is rock solid and very performant, and you have languages like Java++ (called Kotlin) and Haskell# (called Scala), or even Common Scheme (called Clojure). The same is true for the ecosystem, eg. build tools (Maven/Gradle are the default ones, but there are many more), frameworks (Spring + all the reactive stuff), the largest number of libraries on the planet after C, and so on.

The target niche is not exactly the same though, you wouldn't want to systems program on the JVM, and it would probably not make much sense to choose Rust over Spring Boot for web programming. YMMV of course.

given that Electron is really just a featureless browser shouldn't it be straightforward to make your own browser now? An address bar, navigation, and bookmarks ought to be enough to get you there. Seems like you should be able to make a browser for your specific needs/wants pretty easily these days. I'm not suggesting some sort of money making venture where you're beholden to investors to try and turn revenue with it but more just like a utility. Like a script or something... maybe that's the way to think about it, something cobbled together quickly to read websites.
The difference is that if you're putting more than $250k into a bank account the bank pulls you aside and discusses proper financial planning and investment. Or you're smart enough to know already what you're getting into.

The FDIC protects retail investors, so even if a banks holdings are not 100% covered, the uncovered portions are for non-retail customers and other holdings, not your savings account.
The "create a brand" part seems a bit complicated for "normal" people.

There's two ways you can announce a big corporate change:

1. A fully formed announcement, where everyone learns their fate on day 1. People will complain that it came out of nowhere, they weren't consulted, and that skulking managers sharpened their knives in secret.

2. A gradual announcement, where everybody knows well before the big announcement that something is coming. People will complain about uncertainty and sleepless nights spent fearing for their jobs.

(Neither option is complaint-free, because there's no way of firing 18% of your workforce without putting people in the mood to complain)

It's a legit usecase for Single-Sign On providers. However this functionality has been mainly abused by ad trackers, and has thus been curtailed.
In some applications (e.g., bank loans) it might be more suitable to offer counterfactuals. like "your loan application would've been accepted if your income were $5,000 higher". I think users care more about this kind of XAI because that gives them an idea about what to do next, whereas dealing with SHAP values or probabilities doesn't give that much insight, as you also pointed out.

That said, I have never seen any explanation for AI predictions/decisions in day-to-day life. Even clicking on Google Ads shows "this ad was shown to you based on your past searches"! Basically zero XAI.
I have both Python and Golang web services in production for years, none of them cause much headache. I'm not running a hyperscale startup though and server hosting is the smallest cost factor for running my products, so I don't worry about performance that much. Most workloads are IO-bound (database queries) in any case, so Python isn't too much at a disadvantage over Golang or Rust there. In terms of stability I never had any major issue with Python services, and when minor issues occured the logging and tracebacks were so good that it was easy to isolate and fix the problem (the same is also true for Golang).

I guess the older you become the less you care about specific tools or languages, for me it's mostly the general architecture and operating principles of the software that determines if a system will be brittle or not.

One problem I've unfortunately run into with alternative DNS providers is that the "default" set of servers returned for content hosted by Akamai apparently has abysmal (not just slightly slower, but positively unusable during peak hours in the evening) peering with my ISP.

In theory EDNS Client Subnet (ECS) is supposed to work around this problem, but a) according to https://www.cdnplanet.com/blog/which-cdns-support-edns-clien... Akamai only supports this with Google and OpenDNS and b) alternative DNS providers might not support ECS anyway, whether explicitly for privacy reasons or otherwise…

Which means I'd basically have to set up a custom DNS resolver in order to special-case queries for Akamai domains…
