Yet bulk data collection (in effect "mass surveillance") happens, and poses a risk in and of itself to data subjects.
I work on ML+bio/chem at Genentech. I interviewed someone who deferred their asst. professorship and I think we're likely to hire them.
Backup is automated on a nightly cron.
Restoring the entire DB is easy, I have a script to do it.
But ya if something blows up in prod or partially blows up, ... usually the situation is you wrote some shoddy script and blew up half the database so then you have to import it somewhere else and untangle that mess. So you're quite right, can't easily be automated.
It's not just that people weren't warned, it's that we were presented with a bunch of a priori reasoning about why mRNA shots couldn't possibly have this effect. So it raises the question, which of the other assertions (which were not backed by long term clinical data, because none existed) were also wrong?
> It's a tool for thinking and communicating.

And when we understand this, we can weigh it up with alternative tools for thinking and communicating!

Would this 10 line shell script be better in a statically typed language? Well maybe not because I can hold all of 10 lines in my head, there's nothing else to communicate.

Would this CRUD app using Django/Rails be better with static types? Well the framework has defined a structure that communicates properties of the code to me, I don't need types written down because I already know them.

Would this complex parsing process of untrusted data into a trusted and verified format benefit from static types? Yeah probably, testing will be tricky and code review for security is hard, types will help reason about the possible states of the system.

There are lots of alternatives to static types: documentation, testing, frameworks, design patterns, code review, pair programming, error messages, and so much more. I'm generally a fan of static types and find them very useful in a lot of development, but they are a tool in a big toolbox.
All the teachers I know (three in my neighborhood) don’t do this. So I guess we know different teachers.

Manipulating pre-made game assets
Really neat. Must like the Tesla Roadster, this is a wildly expensive and impractical toy for rich people, but it's in production and it works so a big first step.
Because a similar iPhone or Android vulnerability would be useful to state actors, APTs, and everything in between. It'd be easy to weaponize and market. Hell, you could start a career in the ethically dubious world of selling 0 days to to governments.

But what we got here is a way to pirate video games.

Weaponizing this vulnerability means someone can play bootleg video games. And to profit from bootlegging video games, you'd have to create manufacturing and distribution channels. Then you'd have to find people who want to buy games. That's a lot of work, and when you inevitably get caught you'll like face stiff fines (if not prison).

Is this vulnerability worth more than $20k to Sony? Yes. Is it worth more than $20k to the person who found the vulnerability? Only if they can monetize it, which would require breaking various and sundry laws.
No contest! – The thing is mostly that I can mess with the Ryzen box, and run a bunch of different OS-es at full speed, and use various add-in hardware like video cards.
With Google's track record for discontinuing products, would you commit to moving your school or business to this OS?

Yes, schools and businesses often replace technology on a schedule, but standardizing on an OS is a longer-term decision than desktop replacement.
>Morality is about community relations and disgust on any side of the equation tends to make people leave.

something tells me that if similar discrimination was applied in the opposite direction (eg. "the community trusts male police more", or "shareholders trusts male CEOs more"), there would be government interventions to fix that "attitude".
“Profession” by Isaac Asimov (1957) [pdf]
I had a lot of fun going through incredible.pm/ which is gamified writing set theory proofs. Following along with Software Foundations[0] also teaches you how to use the Coq proof assistant and write proofs in it, which I found entertaining. I think of proof solving as manipulating symbols from A to B, with a proof that each intermediate transformation is valid and sound.

> my conclusion then was that the one good thing that comes from low pay is that in order to become a teacher you have to really love it.

I wonder if the people cooking at fast food restaurants or janitors cleaning bathrooms or people stocking shelves at wal mart really love it. And does loving a job necessarily correlate with being able to do the job?
>In the antebellum South slavery was morally right

I don't think this is correct, abolitionism was a thing particularly within the most religious (read:moral) groups of people. Only a tiny fraction of southerners owned slaves, most estimates put that number at under 2% of the population, and there isn't much evidence that the owners of slaves even claimed to have the moral high ground, let alone the 98% of the population that didn't own slaves.

That's not to say abolitionists saw all races as equal, and it also doesn't ignore those who tried to roll out the story of Ham to justify slavery, but there was no consensus on the morality of the institution even at its height. If there were and if it were considered the morally "right" thing to do then we would have seen far more people becoming slave owners, especially among the most religious.

Slavery was essentially a business decision, not a moral one. And not a very good business decision either, even if you can look past the evil of it all.

Replying, to avoid edit confusion: you're the CEO of a financial services company that seems to employ reverse engineering to figure out private banking APIs. In the (not-very-distant) past, that was potentially criminal under both DMCA and ECPA.

I’m not even a teacher and the first and super obvious thing that came to mind is working with special needs children. Like an adhd child or an autistic child might require different lessons plans to incorporate different sensory processing. Don’t teachers also have to re-credential or prove they’re taking continued education every few years or something too? And don’t teachers also teach summer school? Idk. I think maybe we should give teachers more credit… I’m sure there 10x more than I thought of and I am not a teacher nor do I I interact with teachers.

Edit: also wasn’t a huge number of changes made recently on state levels to target schools that teach anything a parent might deem CRT/LGBTQ shit? I’d expect lots of teachers to need to change their lesson plans regularly because of wild political environment nonsense…

Spend time on the mechanics (understanding and writing out full proofs) and spend some time on the intuition (why is this important, examples and counter-examples).

If you keep doing this, you'll build up a whole library of examples and counter-examples for various statements and you'll get a feeling of how you can approach any problem (of similar difficulty).

Start with any Real analysis I and Algebra I book, and try to understand every part of it - don't skim chapters, just work at your own pace. Your pace will improve over time, that's guaranteed.

And keep doing the same thing - work out the proofs, exercises, examples and counter-examples. Re-read old ones, etc.

A lot of math knowledge is really perfect or near-perfect understanding of the basic principles.
You'd have to disassemble Google Play Services, not the Youtube app.
It depends on where you’re starting from. In general, the easiest way is to join a smaller, high growth organization where you can grow into the role and then transfer to a large company. I recommend being very clear about your expectations upfront so you don’t end up somewhere that never could accommodate that growth. You may have to go above a Director role (e.g. Sr Director or VP) in order to transfer to a director role at some companies (e.g. FAANG).

Alternatively, you could join a large tech company and try to grind your way up the ladder. That will depend a lot on your ability to navigate complicated politics and deliver on impactful projects.

> Well I can only guess so much of the underlying egress internet routing of AWS.

There's no need to guess:

From https://aws.amazon.com/vpc/faqs/#Peering_Connections

"When using public IP addresses, all communication between instances and services hosted in AWS use AWS's private network. Packets that originate from the AWS network with a destination on the AWS network stay on the AWS global network, except traffic to or from AWS China Regions."

In practice there is not much risk from accessing AWS services using public endpoints, you just need to take AWS at their word.

The comment more sums up what is wrong with current society than with biking: people in 2T metal boxes feel entitled to own the road, plus get totally stressed out if they see anything that prevents them from doing it and perform risky maneuvers.

How Is Compression Related To Intelligence (ML And AI)?

> The default fonts in some browsers are pretty ugly

Is this really the case anymore these days? I think Firefox uses Courier New on Windows as the default monospaced font, but other than that I'm not aware of popular browsers using terrible fonts by default.

A nice aspect of using just serif or sans-serif is that users who configured their browser's font options get what they chose.

The Disaster Relief Playbook for Shared and Commercial Kitchens (2020)
Nah, very much personally dislike those two languages for various and many (predominantly technical, but some aesthetics are involved as well) reasons. V hits a sweet spot coming from a Ruby background.
I completely agree with you on these points.

When unbending, the cyclists’ stance on this kind of thing feels very misattuned to physics and social awareness.

Doesn’t it create more carbon emissions to cause cars to be on the road for twice as long, running at less-efficient speeds?

Especially when a cyclist blocking a half-dozen or more cars could pull over for 30 seconds to let them pass.

And sure, equal rights to the road, I can get behind. If a thoroughfare is intended for different types of vehicles with average speeds that can differ by an order of magnitude, it feels aware and attuned to me that the operators of these vehicles respectively know when to relax a tight-fisted grip on “rules no matter what”, and adjust according to the situation.

IMO: People that write well are not jumping at the chance to write science articles for universities. Writing is hard and science is hard, and being passionate about both is rare.
I'm curious as to your background if you consider any of the things mentioned in the articles as "trivial" changes. Have you worked in systems development before?

I similarly question your definition of "modest". The first one alone is incredibly radical, and has been tried several times in the past but people keep asking for hierarchical file systems. It's far from modest.

1. How do you propose users organize things?

2. Already exists today with electron and webview. What would you propose an OS provide here? Many apps you use today on macOS are web apps within a native context.

3. This is already growing on macOS with features like continuity handofd, universal control, being able to run mobile apps on desktop, iCloud sync of projects etc.. Each year they've clearly moved towards unifying things.

If these are what you consider modest though, I fear what you consider radical without throwing out decades of learned user interaction in the process

Really? I didn't catch that vibe at all. You're saying if you do this without involving the community it is trolling?

That's definitely my issue: over the years, we have accumulated more and more and more of these names. When someone talks about iOS 4 or iOS 7 in some article I am reading, I know what they are talking about and the extent to which the version matters; but, when someone talks about macOS Gaviota, I have to think "wait, was that the one that just came out, or was that one of the ones I haven't had to think about in a decade? oh shit... maybe it's the one that got announced today and I just haven't heard the name yet?!".

(That said, I will also note that frustration is not inherently constant even when something is truly static: sometimes you get used to something over time and it stops bothering you, while other times it slowly drives you mad.)
I could get on board with that, but it probably violates some existing price display regulations.

I assume this because otherwise grocery stores would probably love to have a lower “price” as the foremost number.
The fact that leptin, not food, restored high-power mode makes me wonder if we could use leptin to increase dieting efficacy. I’ve read that there are limits to how much weight you can lose per week, no matter how much you restrict your caloric intake. Beyond a certain point, your body senses the deficiency and decreases your metabolism. If a person could restrict calories AND receive leptin injections, they could lose weight faster. (note, I am thinking about this in terms of helping the morbidly obese in dire circumstances.)

If I were an American I would settle for any democratic political power other than what they have now. The sheer display of corruption and incompetence is simply overwhelming.
It's the difference between the government justifying the funding and politicians (who control the budget) justifying funding. The government could easily justify funding as its own in-house journalism team that processes raw scientific publications into information usable by various government agencies. Politicians, instead, pander to voters with their cost/benefit metrics.
Exactly that.

I'm pretty sure they made the math, and that's the reason old-reddit and the API are still alive despite the many threats and deadlines they published for taking them out.

In fact, I would not be surprised if most deep content come from those (despite most users not even knowing about them), because the new interface and the app are both extremely focused on shallow stuff.
Claiming that someone is doing this is also a great way to deflect conversation away from the actual and material harm that many politicians inflict on the populace through their greed
