>You admit they’re a racist group and then say my “argument has no legs” while failing to address the crux of the issue.

I don't think saying racist things justifies bombing someone. Worse, I don't think you should be blockaded because your neighbor is racist.

>Do you honestly propose the government just lay down everything and let Houthi takeover as another Taliban?

The undemocratic government was free to resist, but foreign intervention likely made the situation far worse.

And let's not pretend that Yemen wasn't already "another Taliban." Even before the civil war, the US had regularly launched drone strikes in Yemen for over a decade. Which is the kind of shit that leads a group professing "death to America" to gain power.

I am not responsible for what I consider to be abhorrent acts by the Houthi. I am supposed to be responsible for the acts of the US government.

>obviously shit situation with no easy answers because of the slimy regional powers.

Dropping billions in arms on the situation only makes things worse.
The emissions of leaf blowers are pretty terrible because they use small two-stroke motors designed for power-to-weight above all else. Even if you had a coal-rich electricity mix you would have to use the electric version a lot more to come close.

My father and I in the early 90s were lucky enough to come across a Tempest arcade machine that "didn't work" in a yard sale and bought it for 50$. I was going to make something out of the cabinet. I opened it up, and noticed the CRT was disconnected from the big white input on the center. Connected it, plugged it into a surge protector waiting for smoke... and had a working Tempest game in my room for my teenage years.

Always a fun game, and when I learned you could change game settings with DIP switches, that curiosity never really left and led me to coding. 30 years later, I'm still coding.

I heavily disagree with this part:

>>NO ONE has ever looked at a person wearing 'company brand' t-shirt and thought : "Gee, they must be smart, they work for big-name company'.

Depending on the company, this goes a long way. I remember when I was working at a big 5 tech company and the swag definitely helped in bars and restaurants with the ladies. I definitely took advantage of it. Not that I relied on it, but it made things simpler. Don't underestimate the power of a clearly employees only shirt, jacket or backpack in conversations.

Also ask the finance boys if those Patagonias with firm name didn't work wonders for them back in the day before branding was removed.

The only thing I see getting worse is cloud-reliant things.

As far as I'm concerned the majority of basically all commodities, from software to hardware to non computer stuff like tools, food, and even clothes, is way better than it was 10 or 20 years ago.

For some reason people's general happiness, the arts, etc, don't seem to have the same monotonic improvement though.
Or even worse, when the ORM is written in a programming language your organisation no longer uses and is part of codebase that is no longer under development.
Maintaining walls and supplying armies requires a fair amount of population though. Middle Earth is very thinly populated. The former Realm of Arnor is so thinly settled that the Northern Kingdom of the Dunedain had to be dissolved, and its people were reduced to a nomadic lifestyle. Sort of what happened to the crvilizations in the Amazonas basin in the 16th century.
Quantifying Greenwashing
We have a serious problem in the West where there are too few people being born. You can't replace them with immigration because that leads to political instability (plus if the birthrates are low for moral reasons you'll just be replaced with people having different morals by definition.) We've known this since at least the 80s and it's kind of frustrating to see people continuing to freak out about it.

>I have personally jailbroken my LG smart TV using a V8 n-day exploit (details not public, yet).

What have you done with your jailbroken TV?

I was considering jailbreaking my LG Smart TV too as I _hate_ the Home screen with a passion and was hoping to replace it. But I use the Game Mode all the time, so I was hesitant to jailbreak in case that interfered.

I'm just curious why you've jailbroken yours and whether or not I should.

How many times have you been asked to solve fizzbuzz at work? ;-)

And yet you can probably fluently juggle for loops and if statements to your heart's content; and can figure ways to bend them to your will (and to the problems at hand).

Similar goes for algorithms (the things leetcode questions ask about.) You'll probably never encounter the exact toy problems that get asked in an interview. The real world is always messy, you you need to be creative and imaginative. Knowing algorithms helps with that because you've already practiced, and have a head start in knowing what works and what not.
Harry's single ambition through the books is becoming a member of the Wizarding police/SWAT team (Aurors), totally integrated into the system. The only things he had any personal problem with was occasionally who's in charge. In fact, he stays (almost) moot through the entire series of books on questions such as the fact of elves being literal slaves, where people who speak out (e.g. Hermione) are portrayed as shrill whiners.
As for Wikibooks and Wikiversity, I think it's because the quality content just isn't there. Wikipedia works reasonaby well with volunteer editors because of the requirement to cite published sources. Without that constraint, content quality becomes a lot more mixed.

Also, they are in partnership with Google and other Big Tech companies, and what those companies need is Wikipedia- and Wikidata-type content that can be surfaced in response to search engine queries, be read out by Alexa or Siri or even your car's digital assistant, etc.

Wikibooks and Wikiversity don't fit that bill, nor does Wiktionary, which is actually great, but is not promoted by the WMF nor by Google.

Their 2030 strategy is all about becoming the dominant source of online information:

> In my experience, the more opinionated a person is, the less rational they are, so arguing with them is a waste of time. Most bigots enjoy arguing with you, but it doesn't change their opinions.

The implication here is of course that it is only worth talking to those that you can convert to your side, which is of course admitting that you are in fact opposed to diverse thoughts. Are you open to change your opinions or do you only expect others to adjust to your standards?

Of course those calling others bigots and using unionically using dog whistles like "dog whistle" is a very opiniated thing to do. Should we also take those things as a sign of irrationality and not engage with their ideas? Perhaps.

It's common to have compartments that organize your pill schedule, usually with 14 labeled cells - morning and evening for each day of the week.

Set it up once a week and then just take the pills in the appropriate cell when the time is right. This also solves the problem of "did I already take my pills for today?".

> You are welcome to get a job somewhere else. “Work somewhere that doesn’t disgust you,” an executive at Kraken told employees in the company Slack.

Exactly. You are free to leave and not join the company in the first place. The role is not guaranteed either, and they are just as free to terminate your employment and replace you if that is what it takes for them to protect the company from 'bad hires'.

Or like how others have tried to do, you can sue them.

But rather than do something, why not resort to writing opinion pieces complaining about how some CEOs are narcissistic, some of them being crackpots, others using reality distortion spells to brainwash their employees and some CEOs that generally don't care. You are not forced to go to any of these companies as they already declared that they won't change.

> undemocratically coup’ing the Yemeni Government

I think you're missing some context here. Democracy doesn't have anything to do with anything in Yemen. It was a dictatorship, and when the dictator retired there was an agreement for him to pass power to his vice president, who was afterwards elected in a single-candidate election. Meanwhile the Houthis were facing religious prosecution for years, were against this, and rebelled. Both sides are pretty terrible on the "democracy" axis so no need to involve it and imply that the Yemeni Government (Hadi) have democratic legitimacy. Bashar al-Assad was also elected, does he have democratic legitimacy over the various Syrian opposition parties?
There is this thing called trains and public transport.

I don't live in a city. I don't have or need a car. I can do nearly everything with a 10 minute walk. There are two city centers available to me within a 20 minute train ride and many more with a 1.5h train ride.

You don't need cars to have "access" to cities.

In my city, which for the last five years has been in the top ten in the country for year-over-year increases (as a percentage), at least 10, up to 15% property value increases, a proposal, "Missing Middle" was introduced, to help increase middle-density housing availability.

A study was requisitioned by the city, and found that "worst case, the effect on property value would be to reduce the -increase- over the next ten years to be 7-9% year-over-year".

Holy hell, you'd have thought they were executing people's grandmothers in the streets. All of a sudden what I assumed were just people's homes were their "investment in the future" with some hitherto unknown to me guaranteed access to double digit home value increases. People who lived on dead end streets that would not have been rezoned (access to transit and arterials was a consideration) screamed that there'd be "constant traffic through their neighborhood", etc.
Your comment focuses on false negatives as if that is the only downfall, but I can't help to imagine false positives happen quite a bit.

In almost every battle with them, they had a vast superiority in numbers. Even after the catastrophic defeats they suffer when the Good Guys win, they seem to be able to quickly recover their numbers. It probably helps that they can thrive in environmentr where humans can't: high mountains, caves, the volcanic landscape of Mordor etc.

Your goal seems very attached to keeping your own religious definition of sentience unchallenged.

But definitions are not relevant, acts are. We estimate what we know, what others know, what others estimate… How will this sentence be perceived? What reaction will it cause? That is what matters.

You missed the part about intent, but it is key to why I talked about a rock. We say things to use our understanding of the world to further a goal.

Here's my anecdata:

Reading fiction on a 300+dpi OLED set to white on black is absolutely wonderful for me, and I can do it for several hours in a row, provided that the ambient illumination is not full sunlight.

Reading fiction on a 180ish dpi E-ink screen is fine but a little aggravating because changing to the next page takes so long. Not-very-black on light grey is not my favorite color scheme.
Is there a different way to say “see how I think”. You can’t see how I think. And even if you could, you’re only seeing how I think when you’re staring at me in a contrived setting while I exercise a skill I rarely practice.
Agree with everything you said. But equally these are all things that robot vacuum cleaners already do.

Obviously the stakes are a little higher with a mobility assistance device. But the fundamentals of the technology are well solved already, and I wouldn’t be surprised if companies like Roomba would be interested in working in their space, or licensing some of their tech to companies in this space.
I don't understand why execution of a model with the same layers and weights would be different between PyTorch and Tensorflow.

Is it a problem of accumulation of floating-point errors in operations that are done in a different order and with different kinds of arithmetic optimisations (so that they would be identical if they used un-optimised symbolic operations), or is there something else in the implementation of a neural network that I'm missing?
I would say that you can be a good dev without being so hot at those sorts of problems. But if you very well at those problems, you are pretty certain to be a good dev. So the process gives false negatives but not very many false positives.
Implementing RSS for my blog (yes, this one)
I think it's the threat of organizational bloat, as well as the danger that the organizing might veer in the direction of excessive spending instead of focusing on the sustainability of it's mission long-term.

I'm not going to argue for whether or not it's happening in this case, but generally, it's far too easy for an organization to ramp up spending and then become unable to survive on the amount of income it used it have. As one example, it's far easier for people to scale up their own compensation than it is to scale down, especially at the top levels. So something else gets cut, that might have survived had the org not experienced an income surge.

There is also the danger of the actual culture of the organization changing that TFA brings up.

So I think it is very important that there is a conversation around this subject.
See though that all of these disasters are spread over 1500 years. Most of them supposedly kill people, but they don't make the land uninhabitable and nothing stops from next generations repopulating them. Keep in mind that Europe suffers at least two big plagues, migration waves, a mini ice age and lots of other disasters. The main depopulation factors are hunger and food logistics collapse.
>my children are learning from a laptop WITH very close guidance from my wife who is raising them full-time and with intense dedication!

In other words, they are not at all just learning from a laptop.
I actually see a worse problem than that. The idea of the leetcode interview is that you give someone an extremely hard problem and hope they solve it in 30 minutes. But the problem is much too difficult for any nontrivial number of candidates to solve it themselves in 30 minutes, so the intent of the process is that the candidate draws the answer out of the interviewer, who has prepared it in advance.

Then they're graded on how much help they appeared to need. But this grading is hopelessly contaminated by candidates' varying levels of charm and ability in cold reading. Cold reading isn't the skill companies want to test for, but it's the skill they actually are testing for. If you want to evaluate the candidates objectively, the goal would be to minimize interaction with the interviewer, not emphasize it.

Have you reflected on the fact that all those community spaces have had one thing in common - you moderating them? Perhaps listening to peoples concerns about lack of diversity of thought instead of labeling them bigots would allow you to see things differently. Most people don't feel as strongly about controlling the discourse of others that they end up moderating any not to mention multiple spaces.

You generally don't own the copyright to images that you scrape from the web, even public websites. A number of companies handle consumer product information internationally (such as GS1 for barcodes) and shops license product information (images, EAN Codes, nutritional information) from them, so they don't have to deal with each manufacturer individually. The manufacturers also work with these organizations.

If they went into supermarkets and took pictures of all the products it would be another story, but as is, they are using pictures on the internet in a way that they aren't licensed to. This is not particular to the UK, just because some site display a picture publically does not mean you are allowed to display the same picture on your site.

I might misremember, but wasn't there something about the use of aluminum flakes in resin for verification in disarmaments, i.e., use a blob of flakes in resin to mark and then check the pattern when about to be scrapped? Could have been just a concept many years back, though. Certainly powerful stuff as very difficult to reproduce at any kind of scale.
This is why the NYT has lost credibility. Opinion pieces like this disguised as “news” are their bread and butter.

The title is misleading. Never do they mention the price data. After doing some research it appears that what is really the cause for concern are the product images.
>Low interest rates also disincentivize saving while subsidizing the accumulation of debt, and spurring more investment into asset classes (land and stocks mostly).

You're talking about how low interest rates are a Ponzi scheme yet it doesn't occur to you that maintaining positive interest forever is an even bigger Ponzi scheme.

I've been really enjoying working from home due to the boost in productivity, but I've definitely noticed some adverse affects due to the social isolation. Unless I specifically put in effort to socialise in the evenings, I could very easily go weeks or even months with absolutely no social contact at all. This is really unhealthy.

I've had to take steps to stop this happening and make sure I socialise at least once a week. This isn't something that comes naturally to me, but maybe it's a good thing to learn anyway.

Having a partner that you live with or see regularly doesn't really have the same effect as generally socialising. It is, of course, better than being completely alone, but I think the relationship will be strained and it will have a bad long term outcome.

The thing is it's not really that working from home is good, it's that open offices are bad. It would be better to have a private office at work where I can still easily meet people and have lunch with them etc.
