I can only access the abstract, but it seems fairly obvious there's a massive selection bias here which doesn't hold for the total populace. These people are selected to speed date in person by a commercial firm. That already surpasses the initial hurdle of trying to get a date. Furthermore, this doesn't tell me anything about pickiness, rather than "what people say isn't as they do".

>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/095679761455282...

Same story, only abstract. Without knowing the details, I can only assume they got people over the initial hurdle of establishing contact. Yes, I agree once you get over the hurdle, it isn't as bad as people say. It's the initial hurdle which is the problem.

The study also doesn't refute what I'm saying. Even if people are less picky than is indicated, it doesn't make a single mention that people are less picky or just as picky as they were a few decades ago. Given, that wasn't your point, but it is the point I am most interested in.

>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/10888683211025...

I fully agree with this one anecdotally, but again, it doesn't really deal with the initial hurdle. All it confirms is "once you get over it, it's not that bad". It speaks far more favorably of people willing to work through their problems and working together, but that won't help you if your potential partners never give you a chance. It's the approach phase I am most curious about and whether this has changed among younger generations.
Regulations can be made that prohibit ownership of residential properties by companies with certain structures, require that these companies list the true beneficial owner(s), etc.

There will always be loopholes and attempts to find them, but that shouldn't necessarily be a deterrent to taking action.

About 70% of my investment income comes through indirect and direct ownership of residential and commercial property. It's just too easy for the wealthy to come in and buy up properties to price others out.
Set a timer and watch it count to 10s. It’s a long time.

Remember, people fall asleep while driving cars pretty regularly. I know people who have fallen asleep driving on the freeway, woken up in the median, and just guided the car back on the road to continue.

Are they stupid for not taking breaks, etc? Yeah. But is it unreasonable to think 10s for taking over control from sleep is doable? No, it’s doable for people with the right mental state. The most common mistake is overcorrection on waking up.

This is not true. If it were, then inflation would run away. Prices influence demand, so companies can't just raise prices whenever they want. But capital in itself also has a relationship between supply, demand and price, often called rent-seeking behavior.

If you are interested in this kind of topic, look into microeconomics, then macroeconomics.
SIKE is definitely not the most widely used cryptographic algorithm.
And as the paper points out:

> In our attack, we show that, when provided with a specially-crafted input, SIKE’s decapsulation algorithm produces anomalous 0 values that depend on single bits of the key.

It was clearly selected for this property.
The attack allows to determines the number of 0s and 1s in words processed by an algorithm, so they chose an algorithm that has specific data outcomes which will produce a measurable power effect.

> They're not all equally supported, though. Most of them can can boot, many have Wi-Fi support, but currently just two actual phones work as phones: the open-source hardware PinePhone and the Purism Librem 5.

This seems like a very significant error. In https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices I see twelve more in the Community section with a Y in the “Calls” column (and they all have SMS and mobile data too), from various different brands—Lenovo, Motorola, Samsung, Wileyfox, Xiaomi. I get the impression from this that many in the Testing section will also support calls.
Linking it automatically the the CPI is dangerous (as, I believe happened in the 70s and early 80s when union contracts were stronger and more ubiquitous). Linking it to productivity is much better. Some will say it already is, but I seriously doubt that is actually true, as the linkage between wages and productivity seems to have been broken decades ago and the power imbalance between workers and capital have only become more exacerbated.
Is it really a handwave to say we don't know? Sound pretty logical as opposed to just making something up or parroting some origin story like people have been doing for 1000s of years.
Well, that’s just like your opinion man. Some of the best dates I have been on have been dinner at home, picnic in a park or at the beach, hiking, etc. Just do not attract people looking to relationships to fill their financial needs.
But I don't want my ‘next field’ key to suddently stop moving between fields and instead enter characters, just because some fields of text are different from other fields of text.

The mess goes back to IBM pre-computer unit record (punch card) equipment, for which fields were just columns on a card and moving to the next tab stop was the same as moving to the next field if you set up your keypunch appropriately.
Now you know what it's like to live in some Eastern European countries, at least to a point.
There are a few good reasons why almost every AWS API is on V2.

Firstly, the earlier ones were the Wild West and took differing approaches to things. A good example of how things were is SimpleDB, one of their first public APIs, which uses SOAP. Amazon later changed how they did all this, standardising things and switching to JSON for serialisation along with standardising parts of their request and response format, and that means that many went to V2 just because of that. And as somebody who's ex-Amazon, you should know that better than me who's just looking in from the outside.

Heck, it could be that somebody pushed them to release something before the details were nailed down. I've had projects like that where we were forced to release an API for general use internally before we were happy with it, which lead to us having to do a V2 that should've been our V1. This happens too.

Also, the fact that a service is on V2 doesn't bother me that much. That means that they went through one set of breaking changes after their first public release. If that major version number were higher, I think you might have a point. If they've stuck to that and have just been bumping the minor revision, that means they've just been adding features.

> Clearly, documentation is not a silver bullet.

It's not meant to be. Nothing is, and that's not the point that's being made. That doesn't mean that it doesn't help an awful lot, even if is agonising torture. If you can't write down what you're doing, you probably don't know or understand what you're doing. Narrow your scope to what you do understand, and specify and implement that. Scope expansion is what minor version bumps are for.

My understanding is that the support is less about the device OEM and more about the SoC supplier (ie Qualcomm). Once Qualcomm decides they're not supporting the SoC anymore, there's not much the OEM can do in terms of security patching. This is the understanding I've picked up from similar discussions over the years, but I very well may be wrong.
I know there's a VR cooking/kitchen one, maybe that one?
This is spot on. I think there is a nuance across industries that is often missed here too. Certain industries really can’t raise prices or wages without tanking the business. Restaurants, mechanics, doctors, etc are often operating on razor thin margins with prices set by the market. For medical/dental/therapy their prices are often set by insurance reimbursement rates that haven’t kept up with inflation.

The flip side is like you said, companies raking in record profits with massive cash on hand. They could easily afford to share more with employees and would probably benefit from a happier and more invested work force. The stratification between C-level and everyone else is higher than it’s ever been.

Belgium does. CPI here is fairly in line with neighbouring countries, but wage inflation is not.

There's some complaints about this by employer organisations, but nothing serious for now. Neither the unions nor the main political parties want the indexation system to change.

I expect the public sector to have to skip one or more 2% indexation steps in the medium term. The private sector will probably have to mostly sort this out on its own.
I don’t regret any ideas since all my ideas were treated as precious and a scarce commodity. When my TODO list is more than 50% complete I am happy, although it slides to below 50% when I procrastinate.
I think this is a product manager versus engineer conversation where you're talking over each other.

You're technically right that fingerprints aren't "good passwords", in fact they are not even passwords at all. But for most people, most of the time, they cover most of the same use cases at a better convenience price point.

For general use (i.e. unless you work in security or journalism) that's what matters.
Part of your job is understanding what is reasonable to expect from your code and understanding how to estimate things. An estimate that is wrong by a factor of 10 can still be very useful.

When you get into the weeds on perperformance, a lot of things get very un-intuitive, but from a high level, it is often not hard to estimate median performance figures for a system within a factor of 10.

While it is, of course, somewhat absurd to suggest that GWB would have done this, there was another option besides just bailing out the failing banks, so he was absolutely not "forced" to do so:

Nationalize them.

Get rid of the people who had actually caused the crisis, put the banks under some kind of management that would ensure they were actually serving the public, rather than their execs/shareholders, and make sure that the people had enough money/liquidity to make it through the crisis, rather than just giving massive amounts of money to the people who, again, caused the crisis in the first place.
I'm looking through the official draft for this more (https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-private-access-tokens-...)

The thing that strikes me is that they bring up Privacy Pass (https://privacypass.github.io/) as related work, and while I've never been completely, totally on board with Privacy Pass, I also feel like the reliance on hardware/OS verification checks here is strictly worse than what Privacy Pass is offering?

Forget the user experience for a second and privacy implications (Privacy Pass at least seems to be mostly hardware independent and can work on any device/browser that implements an extension, which has comparatively fewer negative implications for a competitive indie web ecosystem) -- speaking purely as a website operator, hardware checks seem strictly easier to game than a CAPTCHA. So even if I'm not a user trying to use a device that doesn't have these attestation schemes built into it, if I'm an operator wouldn't I prefer to have a protection that's harder to bypass by a click farm?

I'm not saying I would be completely thrilled with Privacy Pass either (CAPTCHAs in general are accessibility problems). But should I be thrilled about a version of Privacy Pass that (as far as I can tell) inherently must be more invasive to my hardware, and that isn't guaranteed to work on every device/browser that I use?
Given the exchange that just happened, are you sure they were all so shoddy? ;)
Better to link to productivity then, rather than CPI, perhaps?

Use a table of common latencies, add up what's going to happen on your critical path, and multiply by 2. That will be close to your median latency.

Edit - when people ask for estimates, they usually aren't asking if it's 1 millisecond or 2 milliseconds. They're asking if it's closer to 1 millisecond or 100 milliseconds.

I disagree with pretty much everything here. Cheating in single player games is super lame. It’s fun to be a god for a brief period but quickly it just makes the game really boring. Pokémon with infinite hp sounds awful and will massively compound any sense of a grind because now all fighting is pointless. Some games may be grindy but cheating for instant gratification is likely worse.

I would also argue most games are not really that grindy. It’s actually… rare to see in any single player game. If anything most games put you at risk of becoming too powerful too fast. If there’s a grind it is usually for the last 1% of content. And very few games actually try to sell you power ups for single player content. That’s really not a common thing as some people claim.

Multiplayer games are a different beast, but you definitely don’t want cheaters there either. Not wanting long progression curves for multiplayer games is a reasonable ask. Allowing cheaters is not.

On the technology side, it lines up with the switch to GAA from FinFET. That 2nm/20a process is just a stopgap before 1.8nm/18a, and has more to do with 1.8nm than any of the old processes.

There's the mythology of the heavens being held up by the titan Atlas, who rests on top of a cow, which rests on top of a turtle... the kiddy version continues on top of another turtle, on top of...

I once had a vision -- yes, a vision, something deep came to me as I laid half-awake -- that after a few dozen turtles the actual ground was made of jackstraw[1]. It rested on a firm tangle.

I've always felt since then that the world and the universe themselves are made of contradictions. That some contradictions are fundamental, and this is why since Socrates we've always been so focused on finding contradictions. Because maybe we can find the ones we can't pick apart.

If the market is working then the mechanism for raises is driven by the relative costs of the alternatives to giving an employee a raise and the value of that increase in labor to the company. Right now the value of the labor to the company is increasing because inflation is increasing what they charge for the end product and the ability to hire a cheaper workers in country is in the favor of the employee but other alternatives (offshoring, machinery/automation) are cheaper for many tasks so there can't really be raises that beat inflation across the whole labor pool right now. This is not the case in cheaper labor countries like Vietnam. I expect lots of factory workers there are getting raises above inflation now.
Someone else mentioned this on Twitter, but in my experience with Roblox, its easy-to-use creation tools lend themselves more to making copycat, free versions of top games rather than introducing new genres. Aka a kid wants to play a battle royale but can't buy PUBG / Apex / Cod (and ESRB rating stuff), they will instead channel that desire to something the Roblox dev community will happily leverage.

What made things like the WC3 editor generative of new ideas was that there were clear limitations. And anyone who is "creative" by any stretch of the word can recgonize that creativity is most generative when prompted with limits.

That would still introduce an asymmetric work aspect (presuming that Pat's are cheap to verify, difficult to mint, and single use only). Many bot-based attacks in the wild today rely on the fact that it is much cheaper for a client to send a request than it is for a server to handle one. A well-designed Pat system could flip that imbalance.

Your statistic must be for undergrads, where the situation is very different.

In STEM grad school, no more than half the people are from the US, and it could easily be as low as 25%, depending where you are.

Actually, the very source you cited agrees, roughly:

> international students earned nearly half of all Master’s and Doctor’s STEM degrees awarded in 2019

I suspect that the number "5%" is also too low even at the undergrad level, if you restrict attention to, say, the top 20 universities.

Let's start with this:

1. PUnitiviely taxing any property held by a non-individual as an owner. I'm talking at least 10% of the property's value every year;

2. Banning AirBnB in any case where the owner isn't living on the property;

3. Treating all owners as residents in that city, state and country for tax purposes and taxing their worldwide income accordingly. Let New York be for New Yorkers;

4. Ending tax abatements for ultra-wealthy property development;

5. Properties above 200% of the median value should also be taxed at a much higher rate;

6. Property that isn't occupied the majority of the year should also be taxed punitively.
