This reminds me of some of the words and phrases in Latin that can be somewhat intuitive for someone with familiarity with modern romance ... "iam" meaning "now", having descendants in Spanish "ya" or "jamás", French "déjà" or "jamais". You can look at "etiam" and read it as "y ya". Yet when I studied Latin in an English speaking place I imagine that some took it as a separate word to memorize, not a conjunction of two others.

This also makes me think of the other way to say "and", other than "et": by saying the words together and adding -que to the second one. Eg. "senatus populusque" = "senate and people".

Companies are entities with political interests like any other. The only way you can curtail their influence politically is through regulation. It is reasonable for entities to pursue their goals through any legal means.

When is the last time you watched The Original Series? Just to pick one example, Let That Be Your Last Battlefield (S3:E15) features an utterly ham-fisted metaphor for racism and slavery. It's also one of the best-reviewed episodes in the series, even today.

Star Trek has been an explicitly and somewhat clumsily political show since the very beginning, and people like that about it.
The pictured glass plate photos seem fake to me, i.e. they seem to be recent pictures which have been photoshoped to look like glass plates:

If you go to the gallery you'll notice the 3rd picture contains some cables at the bottom.

These cables seem to be attached to the building by a *transparent* piece of material.

Which would be plastic I guess?

And transparent plastic wouldn't have been used for attaching cables to buildings back then?

It also says "Photograph by Tomas van Houtryve", and that person is still alive according to Google. If it really were glass plates he would probably be dead already?
>Eh, it's exactly what you expect from America though. Ie the embodiment of short term thinking.

I think this is the entirely wrong framing. My other comment covers some of it, but specifically in regards to your comment: it's a lack of education, not the embodiment of short-term thinking.

And really, we can't expect every person that uses Google (or whatever other large tech company) to thoroughly understand all of the bits and pieces of technology that could be used to fuck them. Or how things that we've been told are anonymous/private become non-anonymous/non-private when combined with other sparse data. These are complex topics that even many technologists don't understand (or are outside of their field of expertise).

These companies hire top lawyers to write complex ToS, use as many dark-patterns as legally possible, do illegal things until they get caught doing so, evolve their terms frequently, etc. Yet somehow they've convinced everyone to blame the layperson. It's remarkable, really.

What would be really swell is if we could, you know, not have companies spend millions of dollars on how-to-fuck-your-user initiatives.
I'm surprised at the list. Rust is fundamentally immature, C++ is fundamentally intractable, Python is fundamentally unusable at scale, and Hack is, well, no discussion needed. Strong negative signal for potential candidates.

Linked article from Twitter thread:
https://gizmodo.com/tiktok-master-messaging-pr-playbook-chin...
I think the author clearly addresses this:

> When I’m able I’d much rather spend the time to educate someone about diversity and inclusion issues and see if I can change how they see the world a bit. But I don’t always have the time and energy to do that. And sometimes, even if I did have the time, the person involved doesn’t want to be educated.

I don't think the author is suggesting that every cultural faux pas should be met with "We don't do that here." She's suggesting it for a certain use-case.
If racist policies are economically effective, are they therefore justified? Moral? Even stepping into a debate on some subjects communicates that it potentially has some merits.

I think it's reasonable to resist that on the grounds that humans aren't gravity, no one is going to come up with newton's laws of how to treat each other. These things aren't facts of the universe that can be revealed to us, they are decisions we must make using our own resources. Debate is one of those resources, but not the only one, not even the most valuable one, not one that is appropriate at all times in all places for all ideas.

I send iA Writer an email about once a year begging for the option to allow creating notes with date-stamped filenames (e.g. `2022-07-27.md`) but I think my emails are being redirected into the void.

If unlimited means unlimited then why doesn't "all you can eat" mean all you can eat? Why are you assuming unstated restrictions on "all you can eat" when you aren't allowing unstated restrictions on "unlimited"?

You literally made up the restriction of, "usually within a timeframe".
This is largely from the NIH.
The top comment in this thread:

>I wonder how many people who are seemingly willing to believe the self-serving CCP party-line on this, would be just as believing of the owners of a nuclear power plant in their town, once the drinking water became radioactive, claiming "it didn't come from the plant, someone else down the street must have done it" - that is just about as believable as this.

Absolutely sure the CCP are lying (I don't trust them either but that's not proof they're lying is it?)

Another comment here:

>I don't believe this to be true. I consider the likelyhood that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was the cause of this to be much higher than that the seafood market in wuhan was the cause and there's no reason to trust any media or NGO to be truthful in that regard.

Literally "I don't believe the facts".

That's just this thread, on HN.

Ask HN: What's your note-taking methodology?
There's plenty of threads here that talk about what tool works best for notes. I want to know what kind of notes are you taking down and how you're organizing your thought.
I think one basic argument against nuclear is that it can't produce energy as cheaply as renewables (and nuclear energy is getting more expensive while renewables are getting cheaper).

If we had decided to invest heavily in nuclear 20 years ago, we might not be in the mess we're in now, but it's probably too late for nuclear to help now. Look at Flamanville unit 3, for example. They started building it in 2007, and it still isn't producing power (in fact just this year they announced more delays to its start date).

Even if we abandoned all concerns about where they were built, and started building a load of them today, they probably wouldn't all be ready until after 2040 because there probably isn't enough spare capacity in skilled nuclear engineers to parallelise their production. By that time, batteries and power-to-gas could be cheaply supplying reliable energy to a grid that's over-provisioned with renewables, without having to worry about storing radioactive waste for thousands of years or proliferation risks.
To develop Google maps you need to pay engineers a Google salary, which is impossible anywhere but America.
I generally find that, while there are a worrying amount of people with insane takes on things, often reaching 30% in various polls when something becomes "political", that the majority generally gets it right. If only there was a bit more democracy, a lot of bad things could be avoided.

Having said that, I looked up the polling on lab leaks and American democracy loses on this one:

Both of the examples you mentioned seem to me like the best possible outcomes:

The trans person or harassment victim immediately realize that the authority figure is untrustworthy and they have to escape or escalate.

If the authority figure went on to publicly agree, but privately misgender the trans person, or to publicly agree to investigate the harassment while privately hiding the evidence, this would be far more hurtful and dangerous to the victims.
A handful:

1. Stumbling upon a r/diy post on reddit of some dude building a kegerator with a raspberry pi. I thought it was cool, impulse bought a raspberry pi, and fell in love with programming. I was working at a gas station as a maintenance tech before. Ended up switching careers into software engineering and greatly increasing my life satisfaction, income, etc

2. Joining twitter. I joined in late 2020, and started sharing about side projects I was building. This led to earning my first $ online, launching a startup, raising money from investors, and getting into Y Combinator. Before sharing online what I was building I was making virtually 0 traction on various different SaaS projects i was building. It really changed my life and career in a tremendous way
The project you pointed at was a classic linguistics project, not ML.
They said no such thing, the opening example given was to whip out the phrase the moment the visitor said "gay", which then lead to an in-the-moment defensive fight.

The later examples are the same, whipping out the phrase the moment the 'offender' does something the author doesn't like, and then doubling down on it when challenged.
Now that you mention it, that town was in deed pretty weird. good point.
Plex. won't go to theaters anymore so everything i watch is on plex
The article used quotes around gay to signify that it was discussing the adjective "gay" as a noun. You _used_ it as an adjective while surrounding it with quotes. Do you mean "people who are attracted to people of the same gender", or something else?

Matrix servers store the conversation history for their local users. The message contents (for e2ee rooms) are e2e-encrypted. The metadata (which user sent it where and when and to who) is not currently encrypted or obfuscated. We're working on addressing this in the context of P2P matrix (as per https://arewep2pyet.com).
If you don't want to have the debate, then why say "we don't do that here"? That is a pretty confrontational thing to say. Why not let the comment you don't like go?

Also, who is "we"? If you have a 5-person company and you hire 10 more people, should the social rules decided by the first 5 be dictated to the other 10? Or should they be changed to make everyone maximally comfortable?

These aren't questions that you should necessarily answer on the spot, but these are questions that have to be answered.
That's exactly the point. It's a feel-good way to exercise power in a non-confrontational way (or else...)

They still have facial recognition feeds, car feeds, and they purchase data from third-party consumer surveillance firms, including credit card purchase histories for non-Google users.

Personally if I were constantly disappointed by a website I would take the extraordinary step of simply... not using that website anymore, rather than coming on that website and telling everybody how ill-informed they were. I always have been a bit odd though.
FWIW repo2docker installs everything listed in /install.R or /.binder/install.R. I'll just cc this here because of the integration potential:

It's still annoying if you happen to be on a device you're not logged in with (e.g. I very rarely need gitlab at work, so my work machine isn't logged in, same with my phone - for a while Github had the same restriction and I ran into it regularly)

Yea, we had all the fun toys back then.

Creepy Crawlers, where you poured Goop(tm) in to metal molds, and cooked them into bugs and lizards and skulls and what not.

The Mattel Vacuform, which you could use to make plastic models. You heated up styrene sheets and folded them over molds. I think we had some army missile truck mold set. I think this toy was a bit advanced for us. Molding was easy, assembly -- not so much.

We also had the Hot Wheels Factory, which was an injection mold system to make rubber cars. It was nice because you could carve up the cars you made and feed them back in the machine and melt them back down.

Then there were the Erector Sets, Toggles, Legos, Tinker Toys, Lincoln Logs. We also had a zillion feet of Hot Wheels track. It didn't hurt living in El Segundo, with the Mattel factory store very nearby in Hawthorne.

My brother and I managed to make through our 5-10 years while maintaining all of our fingers, toes, limbs, and avoiding skin grafts. I think we did little damage to the floor (we always played on the floor, never on a table). We may have scorched a carpet here to there.

Yup, good times indeed!

All that said, kids changes, toys change. I remember buying some castle toy set for some friends young boys (4-6) for Christmas. It was a step up of from "Fisher Price" detail. Had horses and soldiers, and big castle.

I honestly have never seen anyone so excited to receive something (well, maybe my wife when I gave her that ring thing). They were just bouncing up and down. This was a hot ticket toy and I bumbled into. As a kid, I might have enjoyed something like that. We had our GI Joes and Major Matt Mason stuff. But, I don't think these kids were missing out much on not having toys that had open heating elements.
I've enjoyed a lot of their architecture-related posts. Infrastructure as well.
No, but explaining economics to a business owner is more likely to get through to them than talking about the social benefits. When you try to convince someone of something, you convince them of the benefits to them, not the high-minded benefits to society. We used to understand that.

Edit: By the way, if it's good for society, and not for you, there should be laws about it. That's why the eugenicists in the early 1900's (who believed that racism was a social good) enforced Jim Crow Laws: businesses often refused to discriminate unless the law forced them.
Well, campaign donations are fully illegal in the UK election process... not that our politics is better.

Sweden has not yet decided what to make illegal, but lobbyists are avoiding doing anything that violates rule 0: http://www.aalep.eu/lobbying-landscape-sweden

Rule 0 is "Don't act in a way that makes me create more rules", in most old online communities.
It's interesting to see how certain regulatory requirements of countries can disrupt the ubiquity of google maps. For the longest time South Korea looked completely different when you zoomed in on it in google maps. South Korea didn't want high-resolution map information to fall into the wrong hands, so they disallowed storing that kind of map data on foreign servers. I believe it was also hard/impossible to get driving directions [1].

Curiously, I just checked gmaps and it appears to look normal now. This must have happened in the past few months, not sure why I can't seem to find any info online.

Yeah also agreed. I wasn't super impressed by the article, don't really find this to be a magic solution. It's solid when what you want is to avoid immediate pushback especially in public, and you don't mind generating some resentment in the other party for it. That describes plenty of situations but nowhere near all.
That author is probably a crank, but the particular image he's critiquing is Fig. 1(a) of the linked paper (reproduced by the BBC), and the locations of both Wuhan institutes are not wrong.

I can't speak to the other three, but the comment about python is not accurate. Or at least not given the way that python is used for the mentioned applications "For data science, ML applications, and Instagram, Python continues to be the language of choice".

Pure python maybe, but the popular packages for these applications are all essentially python wrappers for highly optimized compiled code.

I'm curious though, what language(s) do you believe belong on that list?

What you're saying feels true for any place though. There's a huge reliance on their maps for getting around anywhere and similarly affected by availability.

Open Street map exists as a dataset to build alternatives on, and I've seen a few like Maps.me which are pretty decent. But it does require crowd sourcing.
IMHO, you can tell from the comments who actually read the linked paper, and who read only supposed debunkings of the paper on Substack/etc by Covid conspiracy theorists.
I would love to learn more about the embedded integrations market "by the numbers", any good references or links out there? I'm curious what the average integrations portfolio looks like for a small, medium, enterprise business. Are integrations a recurring aspect of most business or do they tend to plateau based on domain (e.g. n common integrations for the insurance/trucking/... market, once a business hits them all no more integrations)?

While this is true, that means that you can't discriminate against someone for how they believe. If they act in an unacceptable manner - for whatever value of unacceptable is used for am environment- then putting a stop to that is not discrimination.
