I think that's important to consider. It's kinda presumptuous to explicitly say someone is wrong. Safer to let the data speak for itself.
They're not similar in that sense. Apple has stated that they're not intended as a theft deterrent (standard corporate CYA), but they're still useful for stolen items.

If somebody steals my backpack with an AirTag in it, I have at least a few hours before the thief alerted to the tracker. I'm also given a notification that my backpack is no longer with me immediately.
We probably shouldn't turn this into a Roe v Wade thread, but perhaps they were talking about the state legislation released by the court, which is applied equally to the people who want or don't want it and is not a result of a popular vote.
my solution certainly isn’t putting a private corporation in charge with no oversight that citizens have direct access to. Some things really are a public good, and schools are on that list.

incidentally if you want to feel very uneasy, have a look at how many charter schools have just gone out of business in the middle of the school year.

we know how to have good public schools. it involves teachers that are well paid with a strong union behind them, for a start, which is another thing that corporations are historically bad at tolerating.

One of my parents was until recently a public school teacher in arizona. I have no confidence in whatever the governor says; what i think he actually wants is to cut loose and abandon any care over the education of people who aren’t rich and white, and i think that’s both entirely on brand for him, and completely beyond the pale and an utter abrogation of the responsibility of the state.

it’s also a horrible idea; a well educated and civically minded populace is one of the better things you can have, and it’s in your best interests to make sure you have one.

Just think about the subjective bias here. They're working, you're the customer - do you talk shit about your employer on company time? Everyone knows that has serious risks.
Maybe you have the opinion that Ted Cruz's policy is corrosive to democracy (however you define that) and more so than that of TikTok, but neither the article nor anyone in the thread suggested anything contrary. The article is remarkably neutral, considering it's from the Economist. So what is your point? That no one should be concerned about TikTok until the eternal evil of the Republican party has been thoroughly addressed?
> Public scrutiny is only as issue for those who don't want to be publicly scrutinized.

Scrutiny on police isn't the issue. I'd mandate for cops and cop cars to be equipped with a dozen+ cameras if I could and it should be legal to always record cops in public.

The issue is a loud crowd forming around an already tough situation and making it worse for everybody. Think about what happens if you have 30 people shouting loudly around a guy resisting arrest and jostling for position trying to get a video for their social media and it's a recipe for disaster. Cops can't communicate with each other and the guy being arrested can't hear commands. It makes an already bad situation more stressful and easier to go wrong.

I get wanting to monitor cops (I'm 100% supporting that) but you can't have a crowd forming 5 feet from a tussle shouting and expect things to be improved.
… and in retrospect, was it worth it? Or was it a pyrrhic short term victory at a huge expense for something that would have happened eventually anyway but at a slower pace? Was this all just a quest to accelerate the inevitable outside of what overlapping Overton windows allowed for?
Or maybe use Air France, as it was the last major airline to do so, as stated in the very first line of the article. So it did so for longer than Delta, LuftHansa, British, ANA, ...
Do authorities in Amsterdam have a legal authority to access Uber information that may not be in country? It sounds like Uber was cutting off such access unless / until such legal authority could be made clear to corporate officers.

A police officer can ask you any question they want, but you'd be a fool to answer without legal counsel present.

Has the meaning of that changed since i used Go? I thought the output of that is _literally_ a string, no?

I think you misunderstand me. I'm not complaining that there is no context. I'm complaining about destroying all structured content. If you want information out of that, you have to string parse your errors! No type checking or anything useful on error types either.

Yes, it's possible, but that usually comes with 3rd party libraries that manage errors with structure. Such as a large array of arrays producing a structured "stack". But if a single person uses string formatting with your nice structured error? Goodbye structure, hello string parsing.

It's a very, very low bar.

Yes, you're probably right. It's not likely to be productive.

Perhaps, but it doesn't read that way. Even if it were, that would just be lamenting representative democracy. Maybe a better point than the one that actually seems to have been made, but also probably not a particularly productive conversation.

My original thought was that it had to do with a DB query plan. ie: converting a SQL statement to a set of operations.

Reading through this, I came to the same conclusion. I am really confused as to what a plan is in this context.

My best guess is that it is similar to the DB query plans above. It sounds like given a set of composable higher-order functions and a problem, students can use those functions to solve the problem.

Maybe I’m wrong?

I don't really get why people imply that these two are somehow disconnected.

A global superpower that systematically employs military agression to impose its will somewhere far away around the globe is definitely authoritarian. Even if it had managed to create a convincing brand of democracy benifiting only, like, 5% of global population.
SRM isn't difficult to reverse. Sulfur dioxide in the stratosphere would fall out in a year or two; we've directly observed that with emissions from volcanoes, which are of similar scale. Another idea, to seed low-lying clouds with seawater, would reverse in about a week after we stopped doing it.
I don't use Uber. Several friends do, and, as a third party watching I'd suggest the experience is no better but now with a shiny phone app and exploitative would-be unicorn tech corporation at the helm.

Most recent experience, we were in the docks, the docks are restricted access for terrorism prevention, on entry you need a specific purpose. Our purpose was to inspect a possible party venue (an actual steamship, it's awesome, for a few grand we could have them steam it out into the sea while we celebrated - but, on viewing it seemed like if weather was bad on the day it'd suck as a venue because there's only very limited indoor capacity). So after we've looked around we need to get back out of the docks. Friend summons an Uber. No problem initially, "This is why I use Uber" she says. Her ride gets to the edge of the docks and cancels, presumably because the driver sees scary warning saying "Restricted Area. State your business at checkpoint" and hit cancel because he has managed to live in a port city for years without knowing about this. She summons another one. It too gets to the edge of the docks and then cancels. "Uber says if this keeps happening they're forbidden from cancelling" she claims. Sure enough now her requests are just denied automatically.

So once she gives up I called a regular taxi. That driver couldn't find us, because apparently a massive sign with the name of the ship is too hard to notice ("I had no idea that was here"), but once we walked a few minutes to somewhere this driver could recognise we were driven out of the docks to go for cocktails with another friend.
Because those are big words with big concepts behind them. All of which require an educations and an individual with drive to breach a new topic, study it and bring home data. Which is a rare thing.
But if you need information from after 2014 to define the outcome metric that's used to train your model, you're still peeking into the future, even if you've limited yourself to companies that completed the incubator before 2014.

He's relying on "post-incubator early-stage investment and late-stage exit" to train the model. Unless I'm missing something, that information would not have been available at the beginning of 2014, so the model could not have been trained at that time.

In order to say the human investments were predictably bad, we need to specify a time at which all necessary data to train the model was available, and predict from that time point forward only.
I agree that my experience with FB/Twitter vs. TikTok is as you describe. I'm not sure that our political leadership understands how social media work well enough to see what you're describing.

I do think that they are angsty about a foreign government having control over a major social network. Imagine if a partially Chinese-owned company had to make the call of whether or not to ban the account of a sitting US President, for example. Plus, I have zero doubt that the US government requires Microsoft, Facebook, and other US tech companies to give them access to data in extremis, and there's no reason for the US gov't to expect China not to.

8% is the monthly inflation (0.7%) annualized. We haven’t even had a full year of really high inflation.

I believe if you calculate it, inflation has been ~6%/yr over the last 2 years.

So a 5% rise in wages is almost keeping up with inflation this year.

Someone can check my math using the CPI-U numbers.

I do think computers are a huge net positive.

And for what we need computers to do, there is a necessary, irreducible complexity involved, so there is a limit to how simple things could be even in theory.

But the problem isn't with that necessary complexity per se. It is the lack of knowledge in the responsible upper layers of any organisation about how to deal with that. Computers are complex, as essential as pen and paper (or more) and exhibit highly correlated failure modes (i.e. one faulty update or one trojan takes down all of them, just like a fire burns all your papers). This means that a large amount of resources should be expended to prevent problems from occuring in the first place, because they are usually large-scale and severe. Instead, IT gets the minimum amount of resources to keep up with constant firefighting. Also, risk-prevention is frowned upon, the new shiny or the crap everyone uses always has priority, even if it increases risk. Because nobody ever got fired for buying HAL or something.
In my 20+ years of working within and managing development teams, no one ever follows the book, and most project teams are flush with people that know the language, but nothing about the actual execution.

Companies gush volumes about their rigid adherence to excellence and perfection, because proposal and marketing teams are distant from development teams that often scramble incessantly, not to innovate, but more-so to just use duct tape to keep things running without showing errors on the front end.

Human psychology experts and product owners now also join into the mix for these large platforms too, which greatly contaminates development goals and ruins enthusiasm by overcomplicating and superseding the sense of accomplishment that development work is meant to create. It's a vicarious cycle of abuse to be an entry level dev on a mega corp product now... May God have mercy on anyone interested in working for those brutal companies... heh.

As a musician that's been on Spotify for years, it really does not need to be exalted that much... It's music streaming that doesn't pay a sht on a stale bean cracker to musicans...

Spotify's UI has been terrible in my opinion since it started, with it's full screen madness and prohibition on copying and pasting song titles. The song sharing features prevent much from being productive, and everything is designed to drive you away from the one artist you came to the site to hear. It's bewildering to me how artists are expected to pay a minimum of $250 US on marketing to promote themselves on the platform just so they can show the public they're worth being listened to based on the value stats that spotify prominently displays to extort musicians on their profiles.... They're still going to give one single talk show host the majority of the money you pay to them.

Music streaming has literally been around since the age of Mp3.com, the only real advancement that's been added by Spotify since then is nonsensically still calling radio shows "podcasts" (even though iPods are retired), embedding ads into streams, and maybe making people spend a lot of time creating and promoting already popular music and playlists for money. Spotify is a wildly overvalued and wildly under-delivering service... At least YouTube has music videos to hear and view the content that it's very underpaid musicians create. (Just a personal blunt opinion though).
Taxi Drivers in Switzerland typically earn around 40,700 CHF per year and Uber drivers make roughly the same if working full-time, more if they are working more than 40-hours a week.

Unless the union is able to explicitly explain their claim the Uber is somehow unfair to drivers, to me sounds like the union is just complaining they not getting their member dues.

Possible I missed something, so here are my sources:

If cops argued before that they needed to keep the public 20' away from incident A-- "totally not" to prevent filming, but for public safety-- that argument doesn't vanish or really weaken now.

I understand what you're saying, but this doesn't establish some kind of right to be within 8' of an officer and probably doesn't change the evaluation of most situations substantially.

Officers have a whole lot of reasons to want to keep the public farther back- Tueller drills, if I were scuffling with some dude I'd not want a potentially-hostile observer 10' away, standard training about perimeters in static situations, etc. Those don't evaporate, and they generally can be argued for even if the real motivation is preventing filming.

> But for an even less theoretical example, state laws have explicitly legalized marijuana, for instance.

Yah, I'm not interested in arguing the philosophical question of whether all laws are in some sense prescriptive-- nor of whether removing past restrictions counts as adding a law. I just don't think the AZ public is better off or more able to film with this new law.
It is open source also the neural network that they use for that. It is called Irwin and you can find it on GitHub.
That's super interesting. I didn't really know about the default mode network. Want to learn more!

I think with the AA thing it might have to do with loving with detachment. This actually happened to me and I think it was a combination of giving up completely and also realizing how much my self-interest was involved in the outcome - expectations about what sobriety would mean for me as well as wanting to be the savior. An interventionist pointed out to me that there were lots of people surrounding my partner trying to take care of them which prevented them from taking care of themselves, made them feel like a child instead of an adult - and thus was disempowering. We were sending a subtle message that they weren't capable of taking care of themself.

I wonder if it isn't that we try to make something happen by a mechanism that doesn't work. And we keep trying, and it keeps not working. And as long as we keep trying it, it's going to keep not working, because the mechanism doesn't work.

And once we quit trying the flawed mechanism, we allow other, more normal mechanisms to start working.
> Did you have the option to take the relevant classes as electives

Dunno. It was a long time ago. To be fair, a lot of the stuff you mention learning just didn't exist back then - it was a long time ago. Then again, we did a database course and we got no hands-on with a real DB at all. It was all random guff about functional dependencies etc. I learnt literally nothing useful. I know about WAL etc from learning after.

The invisible comparison you seem to be making here is to Facebook or Twitter, companies which also do not seem to have my best interests in mind.
This is embarrassing to post. Just say you have trouble relating to people, it’d come across better.

Devout is about dedication, not visibility. My journey has nothing to do with how I portray myself and behave in social settings. Very few of my coworkers even know I attend church and do mission work. I don’t have to wave a flag out of my ass to worship the Living God, unlike the majority of phony half-believers keeping pews warm Sunday mornings. They leave church filled with impatience and anger, and treat those less fortunate as a filth and a burden despite being commanded by God to serve THEM!

All that said, I’m not at all shocked you don’t understand. Good luck.

I was thinking about the interactions I see sometimes on YT. Often, SCOTUS saying 10 feet is mentioned. The way I saw this was that often questioned bit of information was made explicit, and 8 feet.
