Would be interesting if individuals with Steam accounts in EU/UK/AU who "bought" the game and request a refund also report their experience, considering the differences in consumer protection.
I think I more or less agree with this. One thing I've noticed (casually, anecdotally) is that voters seem to know next to nothing about who or what they're voting for. They only go out to vote because of the EVERYONE MUST VOTE and then they just pick the options that are most familiar to them. That or they have a very ideological "good vs evil" mindset and they pick the options that are colored good.

For my own sake, I also kind of wish I knew more when going out to vote. The problem is, I feel like there's no reliable and efficient way for me to read up on what politicians are actually saying and doing. Perhaps the press is supposed to be my source for that but publications are always biased. I can read multiple publications from different perspectives but then they just kind of contradict each other, and I'm left with nothing. Not to mention it's time consuming and not very fun to read the same thing with a slightly different spin multiple times!
Confidence that climate change will destroy the world has increased.

There's a solution I like: ratify the original First Amendment, which would have greatly reduced the number of constituents per representative, which would a) have made representatives more responsive to their constituents, and b) made it harder for wealthy special-interest groups to capture every election for the House of Representatives. It was originally understood as correcting an inaccurate wording in the Constitution.

Here's the text:

> After the first enumeration required by the first article of the Constitution, there shall be one Representative for every thirty thousand, until the number shall amount to one hundred, after which the proportion shall be so regulated by Congress, that there shall be not less than one hundred Representatives, nor less than one Representative for every forty thousand persons, until the number of Representatives shall amount to two hundred; after which the proportion shall be so regulated by Congress, that there shall not be less than two hundred Representatives, nor more than one Representative for every fifty thousand persons.

For reference, right now each representative is supposed somehow to act on behalf of almost two thirds of a million people! How can one person vote on behalf of so many, who are inevitably drawn from a mix of rural, urban, poor, wealthy, and every other varied circumstance of life? How much can any one person feel represented, or hope to influence who represents them or how?
This just isn't true for anyone but die hard nationalists. The average citizen has no reason to care what country their products and services are coming from. It's better that the world trade and communicate beyond borders. Calls for banning Tik Tok are coming from people afraid of fair international competition.
Under the US CLOUD Act, three letter agencies can compel Facebook to produce user data wherever in the world it is.

When any other country has a law like that, they are obviously the bad guys.
I think TikTok will stay for a while but you are onto something regarding the deception. An issue with TikTok is that the shelf-life of its content-creators is pretty short. Usually they hit it big with 1 video that gets picked up by the algorithm. And then all their subsequent videos are them trying to recapture that lightning. You can keep it going for a bit and develop a decent following but eventually it gets boring.

How do most users interact with TikTok? through the FYP (for you page) which is the algo curated feed that you can endlessly scroll through. From my observations - FYP starts out by showing you content from creators in your geolocation (drains so much battery cuz it loves to use location services). From there it will try to associate you with trending hashtags in content you are more likely engage with. Most important engagement metric is watch-time. So if you complain that your tiktok is full of porn/horny content then you probably have high watch-time in these areas. It will alternate between showing you vids of high user engagement (1M+), medium engagement (<1M) and low engagement (<1K) in the trending hastags/topics it associates with you.

So the content and trends move very fast. Eventually your schtick gets old.
> I've called to get a cab to come pick me up and then waited 2 hours while dispatch couldn't find a cab to come…

Yeah, that happened a lot when it was busy because you don’t make any money chasing around stale calls where the people probably aren’t there. And there were big chunks of the Phoenix Valley that were off limits after the sun went down, doesn’t matter if you’re running an app and aren’t carrying around a few hundred in cash so there’s not as much incentive to avoid certain areas. I’d talk to new drivers who would make “all the money” working those areas at night and then they would just stop showing up to get a cab after not too long.

So, without surge pricing (which was illegal under Arizona law unless it was posted on the side of the cab in letters of a certain height) cab drivers go 100% mercenary when it gets busy and people get left out in the cold where they couldn’t get a cab for any (legal) price. It was a problem and on nights like New Year’s Eve we would get our revenge on the people we would profile as “non-tippers” because, well, that’s what they get.

I honestly don’t think anyone would have had much of a problem with Uber/Lyft if they didn’t undercut the existing cabbies by violating the law on things like commercial insurance (which was expensive), mandatory background/drug testing (which, ironically, the law didn’t say you had to pass) and certified meters (so the passengers didn’t get ripped off). That’s all it took to be a legal livery vehicle in Arizona and they would give the window stickers out to all sorts of shady characters who would (legally) rip off the tourists and drunks because they had their extremely high rates posted as was the law.

I remember having online debates in the early ‘00s with people claiming the evil capitalists would move into a market, put the competition out of business by charging less than the actual cost of whatever product they were selling and then once they had a de facto monopoly jack the prices up. I’d always say “show me one real example of this happening” (which they never could) and now that’s the business plan of all these Silicon Valley companies people applaud their actions. People who would boycott Walmart because they believe they engage in these tactics happily use the services of companies who unapologetically do. I just don’t understand…
I agree with you, but I would like to add: try not directly supporting the democrats and republicans. Start with registering as an independent. If 90% or the voters registered as independent (or Libertarian or Green if that is what they like) then it would be more difficult for Wall Street and the Defense industry to easily control both democratic and republicans parties.

This is fascinating. Very well documented and informative. Nerds heaven.

I have seen similar sites (like https://vuxu.org/vuxi/boxes by Leah Neukirchen) years ago, but none was that well documented and verbose.

Great stuff.
Uber told staff to use ‘kill switch’ during raids to stop police seeing data
It seems to me that top level politicians are routinely doing things that would have made their predecessors resign in shame a few decades ago.
Do you count concern for the welfare of your compatriots as a kind of spirituality? I could certainly see how it could motivate a person to work to improve national institutions.
Identity politics. People vote for those who ban gender neutral restrooms over boring things like infrastructure.
I mean, we don't know what he said when those slides were up, but in context with the other slide cited, it seems to be a rejection of the base point.

What that slide says is true. But the whole point of the drive is that you aren't traveling FTL from the viewpoint of GR. It's no different than traveling through a wormhole for the purpose of this discussion; it's that you dynamically create a shorter path and don't exceed the speed of light along that shorter path.
This story is seriously fascinating, such a great expansion of the Library Of Babel concept. It really gives a sense of the scale and also the hopelessness of finding _anything_ within the mess. First recommended to me on the horrorlit subreddit, and while it's certainly not traditional horror there is definitely some existential scariness to be found. Strongly recommended.

All of the contention issues that we've had for ages across all platforms exist in CL. Loading and compiling new code isn't any different than two separate threads calling setq on the same element at the same time.

The reality, though, is that the vast majority of the time when this is done, the system is idle. If you live update your server that's serving 1000 connections and isn't specifically coded to handle this potential event, then, for sure, there can be trouble.

But if you're hot reloading your dev server, with an idle connection, then you're likely to have fewer problems.

However, there's the potential impact of captured state that is not properly refreshed. For example, if you have some long running state that, say, captured a function via #'my-func, then that routine has, indeed, captured the pointer to the routine. But when you redefined it, the symbol (i.e. my-func) is now pointing to the new code, while your existing state is pointing to the old code. Any code that uses the symbol to call the routine will update automatically, but anything that does not, is stuck with stale data.

And that rock potentially sends different ripples through the still pond of your running image. Just something to be aware of.

It's a great feature, just need to be aware of what's going on when you do it. Most of the time, it's a non-issue.
Yes, cult means a system of worship and is an appropriate term to use here. It is commonly used like this in historical and archeological discussions. In recent decades, the most common use in popular culture has been as a label for some very unusual or even violent religious groups. Based on some posts here, even some religious studies programs are avoiding using the work for fear of this popular view of the word.
That’s an interesting data point. makes me wonder what other unconventional metrics could be considered to get a temperature on our economy.
This too is hype.

I'll make you a bet that in the next 5 years we have high resolution video generation through DALL-E or the like and it's primary use case is going to be auto-generating pornographic advertisements. The Internet was developed with lofty ideals in mind; what is AI's lofty ideal? The end of labor? The end of creativity? The commodification of innovation?

You've got 50 meaningful social problems you've got to solve (education, inequality, globalization, power laws) before you've got a kind of society that can integrate automated systems into itself without creating easy to predict problems. Given historical realities it's far more likely that the great wealth created by a theoretical, "AI Summer" will be unevenly enjoyed by most people; again this is the historical norm.

The invention of the tractor didn't liberate farmers from labor. The Phoebus Cartel, "invented" planned obsolescence in modern design and we still consume, "limited life" lightbulbs partially as a result of their thinking, and for the most part the Internet hasn't fostered a generation of scientists and engineers by, "democratizing" information.
Can you say more? My spouses family was same, I go visit them in their country and they have lavish wealth (comparatively to others in the country) and maids and cooks and such. But they moved to developed nations like AUS, US, and UK.

How would having that amendment change a single thing today? Don't we currently happen to be compliant with it even though it isn't in force? In particular, note that it ends with "nor more than one Representative for every fifty thousand persons", not "less than" like the preceding clauses did.
> Otherwise, why not take your intelligence and use it to build a good life for yourself and family?

Basically me. Ran a few times as a candidate for political office.

Realized that trying to change things is a scam, so now I operate based on hook and crook.
No. I went to community college before “real college”
- and it tried to be all things to all people.

“Want to transfer to the local land grant college? Get your credits here!”

“Want to earn a certificate IT security? Take your courses here!

“Want to earn your GED? Take the courses and the test here!

Honestly, now that I think of it, the reason this college appeals to me is because of how focused they are. They have a very specific goal.

“A very specific goal” is something most colleges lack, so it’s not fair to pick in community colleges.
> If you perceive it, then it’s sense data. So photons and sound waves.

This presumes materialism, which many believers in the supernatural do not grant.

Even in a materialist framing, where the brain is the source of all perception and experience, these things could originate as strictly internal phenomena, not triggered by senses.

It's also conceivable a supernatural being / Simulator could tweak things directly in your brain to communicate, which stays fairly materialist but still allows for non-sense-driven communication.

Are these plausible? Perhaps not. They are conceivable, though.

Your perspective is perfectly valid and rational, but holding yours out as the correct answer won't help you understand perspectives other than yours.

> Not having a good explanation for how you know something does not imply fairies did it.

Since I didn't bring fairies up, I'm not sure what that has to do with anything.

If you have no good explanation for something, that's not great grounds for saying "I'm sure the true explanation lines up with the way I see the world."

And yes, that cuts both ways, and a little more humility would hurt neither side.
Taxis suck. But Uber sucks now, too.

I’d still rather ride share than use a taxi, and use door dash over Uber (lest we forget Uber’s previous lawsuits), but all of the choices in the market are kind of grim.
I'm going to be honest if I bought a game that said it would stop working in 10 years I'd just end up being mad when I buy it as well as when it stops working, that wouldn't really make me any happier
I think that falls back to (A) in my original post. You certainly don't need a Master's in pure mathematics to teach 3rd graders how to add fractions, but you probably do want to understand what teaching techniques are effective for children that age.
Less worry about needing to bribe, especially for everyday stuff. Less worry about getting shaken down by cops. Stable governments with government insured bank accounts and money that loses purchasing power at a much slower rate. Ability (and threat) of the court system to potentially right a wrong.
> It is almost entirely in populations of men who have sex with many male partners in western countries

That's in part because health authorities are using being in that demographic as a major factor (and in some cases, a mandatory criteria, even if a very clear symptom pattern is present) for getting tested. They've literally made a decision to avoid/minimize seeing it outside of that demographic.
While I don't like how annoying Apple is with service upselling (iCloud, Music, Arcade), at least they moved iPhone backup from iTunes to Finder. So their local iPhone backup process is being maintained over time.

I don't have issues with my computer (PC or Mac) detecting my iPhone. Generally need to make sure iPhone is unlocked after plugging it in. What is tough is the large size of my iPhone (X gb) and how small my Mac's HD is (2X gb).

No, it puts the minimum number of representatives at about 6000, one per 50,000 people, where right now there are 435, one per about 650,000. That would be a significant change, in my eyes.

> So that suggests that 97.2% of those lawsuits are unsuccessful.

If you assume the 95% of lawsuits that settle were 0% justified. On the other hand, I'll just assume that the guilt was so apparent there was no point of putting up a defense and wasting the money. So that means that a shocking 97.8% of personal injury claims are valid.

The rest of your post relies on your assumption being valid, which I vehemently disagree with. I don't really think it's 100%, but I do think it's closer to 100% than 0%.
Anand talked about that a while back. He said even 1 bit of information from Stockfish per game would result in a significant amount of rating points, and be quite hard to detect. I.e. you are in a position where you could choose to play a solid move, or alternatively to launch a risky combination. Stockfish explores the combination and gives you a 1 or 0 saying whether it will work.

I believe cheat detection is done partly by humans. Computers flag something as suspicious and then they show the suspicious moves to some grandmasters who might immediately say "no human would do that", or else "yeah that move looks weird but I could imagine someone making it", that type of thing. There was a youtube of Nakamura looking at such a position a while back. The person had a chance to sac some material in order to simplify to a trivially winning endgame, but instead carried out a ridiculously complicated maneuver that kept the material. Just the sort of thing a computer would do, and Naka pointed it out.
" The US judiciary is far too friendly to personal injury lawsuits." from WalterBright is a quite different claim than simply "people don't take responsibility." It's about who the system pushes responsibility onto, plaintiffs or defendants.

My own position was in my second to last paragraph: the US system sucks regardless of if you think it favors plaintiffs or defendants.
Please do. From what I've seen the best and science-based answer is that masks don't work. Air filtration does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFjLFqESxY0.

As another pointed out in a different sub-thread, N95s work as long as they are fit-tested and worn to spec. If you have facial hair, muss the banding so that it doesn't form a perfect seal, etc., the N95 might help, but is not a solution. This means that people with facial hair will not benefit from N95 neither in the form of protection of self nor others.

We have seen in the US that children are now develop-mentally behind. The US govern said what was normal for 24 month child is now normal for a 30 month child. All for a mask program that never worked.
No, it puts the maximum number at about 6000.
Bones were valuable primitive tools but the skulls might have been used as representive forms of currency or wealth tokens such as the stones on Easter Island. Or tributes to the animals' sacrifice.
The rest of my post is actually saying the system sucks regardless of who's getting the short stick today.

I didn't interpret "don't make it to trial" as "100% settle" - my initial assumption was that they got thrown out instead. Probably it's a mix, that's a fair point.

Cases being settled, to me, though, still suggest that we would do better in a system where "bothering to fight it" isn't a question of deep pockets, and buying people off isn't an option, and things actually end up in front of judges. For transparency alone, vs confidential settlements.
Can't be language families—they've got Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese, so French would be an obvious choice to include.

The inclusion of Estonian is particularly odd. It's a very small language (1.1m native) and is the only non-Indo-European language in production or development.
Yup, that’s the idea behind democracy, you vote for your own self interest.

Look at Germany and it’s voting pattern for Russian interests, did voting to supply Russia with vast amounts of money to rearm get it anywhere?

Please only take painkillers continuously under the direction of your doctor. A lot of people don’t realise this, but NSAIDs like ibuprofen and other types like paracetamol / acetaminophen do negatively impact your liver and / or kidneys, especially after repeated use. Always read and adhere to the label of the medication you take.
Actually the first poll is from 2013, the post is from 2017. And the second is from 2020, again the post is from 2021.

I see that now. Interesting. Well, I'm wrong on that text — but I still think the idea, as I had previously understood it, is a good one, and we have the technology to make a 6000-person House of Representatives workable.

I think that if they plan to sunset the game, that needs to be advertised from the start, or the customers should have the right of a refund.

And then they can plan for that by unlocking the games when they would sunset them.
